Rattled

Bai Qiuran combed Jiang Lan's hair and then put the jade hairpin that her mother had left her back into her hair, returning it to its rightful owner.

The two then exchanged a few more words, after which Jiang Lan had Bai Qiuran lead her outside.

She wanted to meet Su Xiangxue and the others first.

After coming out, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan asked the maids and learned that Su Xiangxue and the other two girls had been Lin Rui by Lin Rui to be entertained in the Side Hall. After asking for directions, Bai Qiuran arrived at the Side Hall and led Jiang Lan inside.

As soon as Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan walked in, the three girls who were chatting and laughing stopped abruptly, and their eyes all fell on Jiang Lan next to Bai Qiuran.

"Master."

Tang Ruowei looked at Jiang Lan and asked, "Could this one be...?"

"Um."

Bai Qiuran pointed at Jiang Lan and said to her, "Call her Master's Wife '."

"Master's Wife."

Tang Ruowei greeted Jiang Lan, but her eyes were fixed on Su Xiangxue and Li Jinyao beside her.

Li Jinyao glanced at Jiang Lan, who looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl from a secluded family, then looked down at herself, and pouted.

"Senior Bai, didn't you say you like people with good figures?"

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran did not deny it.

Li Jinyao looked at Jiang Lan again and continued, "Sure enough, men all say one thing and do another."

"What's the meaning?"

Bai Qiuran completely baffled.

"Alright, Qiuran."

Jiang Lan interrupted his thoughts.

Could you introduce them to me?

So Bai Qiuran introduced Su Xiangxue and the others to Jiang Lin Rui in the same way she had introduced them to Jiang Lan on the Spaceship. After the introduction, Li Jinyao became even more unhappy.

Jiang Lan observed all of this, and then she said, "Why don't you go out for a walk first? Let me talk to them."

"Can't I stay?"

Bai Qiuran asked.

What are you doing here while the girl is talking?

Jiang Lan didn't allow him to argue, shoving him out while shouting, "Lin Rui!"

"Exist."

"Take the master out for a stroll."

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran looked at the closed palace doors behind her, then at the beautiful woman in black standing behind her.

"Don't worry, sir."

Lin Rui smiled at him and said, "Master knows what he's doing; a fight won't break out."

Why do you think I believe they will fight?

Bai Qiuran shook her head.

Based on his understanding of Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue, both girls were very restrained and would never do what Lin Rui described.

"But what is Ruowei doing inside? That child is really strange."

Bai Qiuran muttered to herself.

But Tang Ruowei was already inside. Bai Qiuran had a feeling that even if he wanted to go in now, Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue would definitely not let him. So he simply turned to Lin Rui and said, "Then show me around."

Led by Lin Rui, Bai Qiuran began to wander around the Fusang Immortal Palace.

"I remember there were some maids who stayed here with Lan'er back then, where are they now?"

During their stroll, Bai Qiuran asked Lin Rui a question.

"Some went to help in the final battle, and then they perished."

Lin Rui replied, "Some of them have already married. The master said they are free individuals, so he allowed them to leave the Immortal Palace."

She paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Sir, you won't mind, will you?"

"Of course not, I've thought so from the very beginning."

Bai Qiuran shook her head.

"Lan'er did a great job; she understands exactly what I want to do."

After wandering around the Immortal Palace twice, Lin Rui led Bai Qiuran back to the Side Hall, then took her leave to prepare the banquet, while Jiang Lan and the others opened the door for Bai Qiuran.

They talked about something, but Bai Qiuran felt that the relationship between Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue seemed to have eased a lot. Judging from their expressions, Su Xiangxue and Jiang Lan seemed to have accepted each other's presence.

This relieved him.

After that came the banquet that Lin Rui Bai Qiuran. Kazama Haruka also attended the banquet. When Jiang Lan took the initiative to drag Bai Qiuran to the Bedchamber after the banquet, the girl's expression was simply wonderful.

A few days later, on the morning of the fifth day, everyone gathered together. After breakfast, Su Xiangxue suddenly said to Bai Qiuran, "Qiuran, why don't you accompany Jiang Lan down to the mortal realm for a walk? Ruowei, Miss Li, and I will stay in the Immortal Palace."

Why bring this up all of a sudden?

Bai Qiuran was actually making the same plan, but he didn't understand why Su Xiangxue suddenly brought it up with him.

Why don't we all go for a walk together?

"Need not."

Su Xiangxue glanced at Jiang Lan, who was chatting and laughing with Li Jinyao.

"You haven't seen each other for hundreds of thousands of years. You should spend more time with her than we should. Besides..."

She paused, then added, "I also need to go into seclusion to improve my cultivation."

Bai Qiuran could roughly guess why she was so anxious. Jiang Lan was a person who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Even a paramecium could probably cultivate to become an immortal if it had the cultivation method. Not to mention that Jiang Lan was originally a Heavenly Gods with considerable talent.

According to her own account, her strength is about to reach the final realm created by Bai Qiuran.

After becoming an immortal, each advancement in realm requires an unimaginable amount of energy. To absorb and transform this energy, one must spend countless years and unwavering perseverance. The gap between them is something that even the most talented person cannot bridge. The difference between Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue is arguably greater than the gap between the Body Tempering Stage and the Mahayana Stage.

Is there really such a rush?

Bai Qiuran asked.

"At least... I'll do my best."

Su Xiangxue shook her head. She hesitated for a moment, then blushed and whispered, "Besides, I haven't had time to absorb your Primal Yang yet. Once I fully absorb it, it should be enough for me to break through many realms."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuran coughed awkwardly.

He understood Su Xiangxue's sense of urgency, because because of Bai Qiuran, Su Xiangxue had to ignore the huge differences brought about by hundreds of thousands of years and regard Jiang Lan as her peer.

Bai Qiuran knew all too well how painful it was to see someone of the same generation who was far more accomplished than herself.

Therefore, he could completely empathize with Su Xiangxue at this moment.

Bai Qiuran, and Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei were also preparing to go into seclusion to cultivate. It seemed that Jiang Lan had used her experience accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years to guide them yesterday, and they had both gained something from it.

Of course, Bai Qiuran had no idea whether the two girls had ulterior motives for being so eager to break through.

So Bai Qiuran invited Jiang Lan, and Jiang Lan happily agreed after handing over the Fusang Immortal Palace to Lin Rui and Jia Xuan.

After Su Xiangxue and the other two entered seclusion, the two of them boarded Spaceship and traveled hand in hand to the lower realm of the Fusang Four Islands.
