C144 Humanity Is Cold and Warm
Lan Su didn't expect Lan Zheng to be so cold and ruthless, and she knew that he was a man of his word. She had no choice but to bring Baimu Hen's corpse back to her courtyard.
Just as Wuze finished speaking, people flew out from every courtyard in Lan Family and flew towards them. They were looking at the outside of the courtyard.
"Have you heard? That coffin is Ning'er's biological father." Someone pointed at the coffin.
"Sigh, Lan Su is really unlucky. After waiting for so many years, she actually looked forward to a corpse coming back. How pitiful." A woman shook her head, but the two of them had an excited look on their faces as if they were watching a show.
More and more people heard the news and rushed over.
"Brother Wuze, what can you do? Please tell us." Lan Su said with a cold face.
After so many years, she and Ning'er had been treated coldly and had gotten used to it.
But she did not want her husband's corpse to be pointed at by these long-winded women and bored clansmen.
"Since the ancestral grave of Lan Family can't be buried, why don't we find a place to buy a treasured land and properly bury Junior Brother Bai Mu." Wuze said.
Lan Su thought for a moment. Spending money was not a problem. Baimu Hen had a lot of money in his Storage Ring. The cost of buying a treasure land was only nine hundred and one cents.
It was just that the treasure land was easy to find. Who would guard it was a big problem.
"When the time comes to bury Junior Brother Bai Mu, I will set up a formation in the tomb. Once someone forcefully enters, I will know and come immediately." Wuze could roughly guess Lan Su's worry.
"Then thank you, Brother Wuze." Lan Su's face was full of gratitude.
With a Void Breaking Stage setting up the formation, it would be much safer.
"What are you looking at!" Ning'er looked at the people around her and asked angrily.
"Aiyo, it's not enough to look. This courtyard is not your home." A young woman said in a strange tone.
Ning'er was still young after all. For a moment, she was unable to speak. She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Yue looked at her and felt a little heartache.
These clansmen were really looked down upon.
It was fine if he didn't console them when something like this happened, but he was actually taking pleasure in their misfortune.
Swoosh!
With a thought, Lin Yue formed a huge wall of fire above the courtyard wall, blocking everyone's view.
The hot aura of the Spiritual Fire forced everyone to retreat.
Ning'er looked at Lin Yue but did not say anything. There was a trace of emotion in the depths of her eyes.
Lan Su simply packed her things and brought the coffin with her. She held Ning'er's hand and walked outside.
Lin Yue put away the Spiritual Fire and followed behind Wuze.
"Where are you going?" Lan Zheng appeared in the sky.
Lan Su did not speak. She put the coffin aside and quietly kowtowed three times to him.
There was a rule in Lan Family that one did not kowtow until they left home. Only when they returned home did they kowtow and greet.
If a person kowtowed when leaving home, it meant that this person had to leave Lan Family forever.
When Lan Su was packing her things, she had already thought it through.
Previously, she was in Lan Family because she wanted to raise Ning'er and wait for Baimu Hen.
Now that Ning'er had grown up and Baimu Hen had "returned," there was no need for her to continue living under the mockery of her clansmen.
She would build a few houses at the place where Baimu Hen was buried and accompany him.
"Good, good. If you leave, you will never come back!" Lan Zheng was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
Lan Su got up and walked out of the city with the coffin.
In all these years, it was the first time she felt that she was standing so straight and walking so straight!
Lan Zheng looked at Lan Su's back, which was getting further and further away, and suddenly seemed to have aged a lot. He turned around and left in the air.
The other clansmen discussed with each other for a while and then also dispersed.
After they left the city, Lan Su carefully kept the coffin into the Storage Ring. After all, it was too eye-catching to bring a coffin with her.
"Sister-in-law, let's go and find a treasure land." Wuze flew into the sky.
Lan Su nodded her head and held Ning'er's hand as she flew into the sky.
A Residual Sword appeared under Lin Yue's feet and followed closely behind.
Although he could also use the Nine-heavens Wind Controlling Arts without using the sword to fly, it was better to keep a low profile, especially in front of Wuze.
The four of them finally arrived at a mountain range. The mountain range extended here, and there was also a large river that ran past. The scenery was beautiful, and it made them feel refreshed.
Wuze flew high up in the sky, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered that the surrounding area was just an ordinary village. There were very few people here, and there were very few cultivators.
Lan Su went to the village chief and said that she wanted to buy a piece of land and live here.
The village chief was also a simple and honest person. After discussing with the elders in the village, he agreed.
Later, Lan Su gave them five times the price and bought a large piece of land.
Wuze came to the root of a mountain and easily used his finger to draw a few lines in the air. In the end, a suction force appeared in his palm and sucked out a large pile of soil and stone. The embryonic shape of a tomb appeared.
In the next moment, Wuze took out pieces of long black stones from his Storage Ring and quickly piled up a tomb.
Lin Yue knew that the long black stones were called Black Crystal Profound Stones. They were extremely hard, and even an ordinary Void-breaking Expert would find it very difficult to break them. They were the hardest stones in the Heavenly Essence Continent.
"Bury Junior Bai Mu properly." Wuze said.
Lan Su nodded and carefully placed the coffin into the tomb.
Wuze set up a formation and then used the Black Crystal Profound Stone to completely seal the tomb before setting up another formation. Only then did he place the earth on top of the stone tablet and set up another formation.
A total of three formations were set up. Even if it was an ordinary Void-breaking Expert, it would be very difficult to break them apart without two hours.
"Sister-in-law, I still have some matters to attend to. Let Lin'er help you build a house here." Wuze suddenly said.
"Alright. Thank you, brother Wuze." Lan Su said gratefully.
"You are welcome, sister-in-law. I will go now." Wuze cupped his hands and then disappeared quickly.
After flying for ten thousand miles, Wuze suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His expression became extremely ugly.
...
Lin Yue stayed behind and used the local materials to cut down many trees and cut off some mountain rocks into squares before starting to build the foundation of the building.
Lan Ning'er was also bored, so she followed behind Lin Yue to help.
They were very fast. In just a day, they built five houses and formed a courtyard. Some of the basic furniture in the house was also ready.
The courtyard was not far from Baimu Hen's tomb, so they could see it in the house.
"We will live here from now on." Ning'er said, "Much better than Lan Family. The air is also good and free!"
"Lin'er, the sky is already dark. We have been busy for the whole day today. Let's go back to the sect tomorrow," Lan Su said.
Lin Yue nodded and went to wash his hands by the river. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
He plunged his hand into the water and caught a big fish.
He did not expect there to be a lot of fish in the river.
In a short while, Lin Yue caught five or six fish. After cleaning them up, he brought them to the yard.
"Are we going to eat fish tonight?" Lan Ning'er asked.
Lin Yue nodded. Other than fish, there was nothing else to eat. It was fine even if he did not eat.
It was just that he had been in Yin Corpse Pavilion for more than a year and hadn't had a good meal yet. He wouldn't miss this opportunity today.
"But my mother and I don't know how to cook." Lan Ning'er said.
Although they were treated coldly in the family, Lan Zheng even gave them a few Maidservant for good and bad. He didn't want them to cook at all.
Furthermore, once one reached the Star-treading Stage, they could absorb the spiritual energy to replenish their energy. It was normal for them to not eat or drink for months.
"Then we'll just wait and eat." Lin Yue smiled.
He set up the grill and put the fish on it. After a while, the smell of the fish filled the air.
"It smells so good." Lan Ning'er sniffed and sat near the grill.
"Let's eat." Lin Yue passed the first roasted fish to Ning'er.
At this time, Lan Su was still sitting in front of Baimu Hen's grave, smiling from time to time. Perhaps she thought of their beautiful days back then.
"It's really delicious." Ning'er blew on it and took a bite. Her mouth was full of fragrance.
Seeing Lin Yue's red face reflected by the fire, she seemed to feel that this guy was not that annoying.
Especially when he condensed a fire wall to block the face of that clan member, it made people have a good impression of him.
"Lin Qiushan, where did you learn this skill from?" Ning'er asked.
The last time Lin Yue came to Lan Family, he told them his name was Lin Qiushan.
"You are a self-taught genius." Lin Yue smiled.
"Bullsh * t. You are so powerful. You must have a hard time cultivating. You don't have time to think about these small things." Ning'er did not believe him.
"People use food as the sky. This is not a small matter." Lin Yue smiled and turned over the fish in his hand to roast.
"The woman who participated in the auction with you, is she your partner?" Ning'er suddenly changed the topic.1
"She is my senior sister." Lin Yue said.
"Liar, she is clearly much younger than you." Ning'er tore off a piece of fish meat and said vaguely.
"She entered the sect earlier than me. I have only entered the Yin Corpse Pavilion for more than a year." Lin Yue said.
Ning'er said, "How can I become a disciple of the Yin Corpse Pavilion?"
"This requires the recommendation of an elder. Why do you have such an idea?" Lin Yue asked, "But you have to think it through. A disciple of the Yin Corpse Pavilion must spend his entire life with a corpse. In fact, it is not suitable for a girl to cultivate."
This was Lin Yue's true thought. A girl who refined a corpse every day needed a strong mental strength.
However, Meng Yachen did not have this kind of problem. This was because she had been in contact with people who refined zombies since she was young. She had already gotten used to it.
"Oh, then forget it." Ning'er said, "Why do you want to join such a disgusting sect?"
Lin Yue flipped the fish and tore off a piece of fish meat. He took out a jar of Thousand Year Drunk and drank a mouthful. He did not answer this question.
He entered the Yin Corpse Pavilion to find the clove. Now that he had found it, there was nothing he could do. This feeling of powerlessness was really bad.
"It smells so good. I didn't know you had such a good craftsmanship." Lan Su finally walked over. When she saw the brilliant yellow fish on the grill, she couldn't help but praise.
"You can try one too." Lin Yue handed a fish to Lan Su.
"Xiaolinzi, how old are you this year?" Lan Su gently ordered a mouthful of fish meat. It was delicious.
Lin Yue thought about it. When he transmigrated, he was fifteen years old.
Except for the first year he spent at Zhou Dagou's house, the rest of the year did not even have a New Year. They all spent it on cultivation.
After careful calculation, he was actually twenty-three years old this year.
"Do you have a partner?" Lan Su asked.
