"Shi'er, what's wrong?"
Bai Jingqiu had come to the Cultivation Room to fetch Lan Shi'er for the upcoming Island Lord Handover Ceremony. Halfway there, she saw Lan Shi'er with tears in her eyes, muttering curses under her breath.
"Nothing. I just miss Mother."
Lan Shi'er did not tell Bai Jingqiu about being beaten up.
She knew Aunt Bai well. Given how much Aunt Bai doted on her, if she learned that Lan Shi'er had been beaten up for two months, Jiang Ping An's fate would certainly be miserable.

If Lan FengCheng still wanted to control the resources around the Kunpeng Island Sea Territory, he had to keep the various forces on Kunpeng Island stable.
Even a small family
