Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Upon closer reflection, Gu Tianren is indeed the chief disciple of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace. Could it be that this young man surnamed Lan...

Some unpleasant thoughts surfaced in Duan Xingchen's mind, but he shook his head to temporarily dismiss them and instead began to observe the conversation between Gu Tianren and his junior brother Lan.

"I didn't expect that our Blue Feather Heavenly Palace would have guests."

The young man glanced at Duan Xingchen and his companion with his seemingly blind eyes, and nodded, saying, "A man and a woman, both with considerable cultivation. Could they be disciples sent by another sect?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wangjun immediately bowed and said, "We come from the Yuntian Sect."

"Yuntian Sect?" The young man frowned and shook his head. "I haven't heard of it much. Perhaps it's because I'm not knowledgeable enough."

After speaking, he smiled slightly, then looked at where Gu Tianren was and said, "Speaking of which, Senior Brother Gu, I heard that you went to see Master just now, was it about these two guests?"

Gu Tianren's expression was clearly not good, and he seemed unwilling to say more to this junior brother Lan: "I suppose so. The two of them have matters to discuss with Master."

"Oh, that's quite rare."

Gu Tianren coughed twice, an embarrassed look on his face, and then said, "Well, Junior Brother Lan, did you come to see me because of something important?"

"No." The young man surnamed Lan was quite straightforward: "I was just passing by to watch my senior brother practice some meaningless and messy sword techniques."

This statement came out.

Both Gu Wangjun and the other man's faces turned slightly cold.

This person speaks as if he has needles in his mouth, with barbs at every turn.

Gu Tianren was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he gave a gentle and wry smile and said, "My swordsmanship is indeed terrible... I know this even without Junior Brother Lan saying it."

"What I mean is, why are you so obsessed with something as boring as martial arts, senior brother?" The young man surnamed Lan sneered twice, then said, "You are the one who has those eyes. Isn't it a waste of the master's good intentions to put your energy into martial arts, which has a bleak future?"

Those eyes?

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianren's expression changed several times. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Junior Brother Lan, regarding the matter of the eyes, I..."

"Senior brother."

Before Gu Tianren could speak, the young man surnamed Lan interrupted him, saying, "Don't forget that you are the chief disciple of our Blue Feather Heavenly Palace. If you continue to indulge in such frivolous pursuits, even your master may not be able to protect you."

"That's all I can say, senior brother. Please excuse me for taking my leave."

After speaking, the young man surnamed Lan turned around without looking back, and with the two maids attending to him, he slowly walked away into the distance.

Only after the person had completely disappeared from sight did Gu Tianren let out a long sigh.

Duan Xingchen couldn't help but twitch his lips and whispered, "A little annoying."

"A little." Gu Wangjun scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly.

"Please don't be too upset with Junior Brother Lan, he is just a bit too sharp-tongued."

Strangely, Gu Tianren was still speaking up for the young man surnamed Lan, with a hint of inexplicable guilt in his eyes: "Like most people, he doesn't think much of martial arts. There's nothing we can do about it. Besides, he was just a little impulsive in his words. In reality, he's a very good person."

—They've already pointed their finger at you and started lecturing you, yet you're still so gentle in speaking up for them…

Even Duan Xingchen, who is usually mild-mannered, couldn't stand it anymore. At least she wouldn't speak up for someone who insulted her interests.

If anyone dared to say that the spiritual plants she grew were pig feed, even Duan Xingchen would probably be so angry that he would draw his sword.

Not to mention our senior brother, Prince Gu.

Gu Asan looked up at the direction where the young man surnamed Lan had left, clenched his fists, and seemed to have something on his mind, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't say them.

Duan Xingchen, however, remembered his initial guess and quickly asked, "Speaking of which, what kind of person is this Junior Brother Lan?"

"Hmm?" Gu Tianren looked at Duan Xingchen with some confusion: "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Um……"

She couldn't very well say that because all the palace masters in later history had the surname Lan, she guessed that this junior brother Lan would become the palace master of Lanyu Heavenly Palace...

Duan Xingchen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm just a little curious about him because you're so protective of him."

"so."

Gu Tianren didn't suspect anything, and smiled slightly: "Then let's go back first and talk as we walk."

He gestured for them to proceed, and Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun exchanged a glance before heading back the way they had come.

After Gu Asan finished putting away his sword, Gu Tianren straightened his clothes and then said to Duan Xingchen, "It's like this, Junior Brother Lan is also a disciple of the Palace Master. However, I am the chief disciple and he is the second chief disciple."

His name is Lan Chun.

……

……

……

"Lan Chun".

Yunping frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name.

now.

Inside the main palace of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

The vast, icy palace gives one the illusion of being in the Arctic Palace, except that the ice crystals here are translucent, which reveals a transcendent and noble feeling.

To put it simply, the Northern Ice Palace is truly made of ice, so cold you'll shiver. But the main palace of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace is like it's surrounded by rings of diamonds. How could it not be high-class?

Because these crystals look like diamonds, our silly Ye Yuchan started drooling as soon as she entered the main palace, her eyes filled with nothing but small coins.

“I think if I stay here, I can reach the Sainthood level in less than half a month!” This was what Ye Yuchan said as soon as she entered the room.

Yunping felt that whether or not the person would achieve sainthood in half a month was unknown, but in any case, after half a month, these crystals would definitely be pried away one by one by some greedy person.

Back to the topic.

The old man, leaning on a cane, held an ancient book in his other hand, and a few traces of fatigue appeared on his weathered face.

He nodded helplessly and sighed, "The era in which Palace Master Lan Chun lived was the same era as the last time the Central Divine Eye appeared..."

"How long ago was that?" Ye Yuchan asked.

“I don’t know, it’s too long ago, too long ago.” The old man shook his head, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of despair: “It was probably in the era before the Martial Emperor was born… We only managed to record the name of the palace master of that era, and we know nothing else.”

I don't know.

It was truly unbelievable that these words came from the mouth of the old man before them.

If you ask why—

The hunched old man before us is one of the few remaining semi-immortals in the world today.

Xu Banxian, the astronomical master of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace!

That was a powerful being who could calculate the numbers of the heavens and earth perfectly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was knowledgeable about the past and present. However, he claimed to be completely unaware of that distant past history.

This is going to be a bit troublesome.

Yunping was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is that tomboy Lan Tianyi? Is he still lying down?"

"She rested under the protection of her martial uncle."

Xu Banxian turned his gaze to Yuan'er behind Yun Ping. The latter immediately trembled. Being stared at by Banxian's eyes that could predict the future was not a pleasant experience.

Jiang Yuetian quickly shielded the petite Yuan'er and then asked, "What's wrong, sir?"

“No…” Xu Banxian shook his head, pointed to Yuan’er’s double pupils, and said, “Since the little girl has these eyes, she should be able to understand Tianyi’s situation at this moment.”

"Her divine eye... seems to be going berserk for some reason."

"Rampage..."

Yuan'er subconsciously covered her eyes where her double pupils were located, recalling her past when she constantly wavered between unconsciousness and wakefulness.

She nodded and murmured softly, "I can understand... it doesn't feel good."

Fan Luokui glanced at Yuan'er, whose expression was grave, and asked, "Speaking of which, have you found the reason for the rampage?"

"No."

When this matter was brought up, Master Xu shook his head helplessly.

"Tianyi's Divine Eye should, in theory, be an eye blessed by Lanyu Tianbing. In the history of Lanyu Tiangong, it has only appeared twice... However, there is not much record of the Divine Eye last time. Only the holder is recorded, and nothing else is mentioned."

"Even my astronomical calculations can't predict that far back in time..."

Fan Luokui looked enlightened and lowered her head in thought, saying, "So, for the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, the Divine Eye is like it's appearing for the first time... If any problems arise, there's no history to refer to?"

"That's it."

Xu Banxian nodded. For some reason, Ye Yuchan and the others felt that this Banxian looked much older than when they met him at the Emperor's Pavilion.

With his sparse, graying hair and sallow complexion, he truly looked like an old man in his twilight years, without a trace of the domineering air of a demigod.

"More importantly, Tianyi's Divine Eye seems to have formed a connection with Lord Lanyu Tianbing. If Tianyi cannot be cured, it is hard to guarantee that Lord Lanyu Tianbing will also be affected."

At this point, Yunping looked at the irregular ice crystal in his palm. It was clear to the naked eye that after Lan Tian's accident, the number of cracks on this ice crystal had increased.

If this continues—

If we want to save Lan Yutianbing, we must cure Lan Tianyi's Divine Eye.

However, they still don't know the reason why the "divine eye" of Lantian No. 1 Middle School went berserk.

Yun Ping lowered his eyelids, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then asked:

"What was the name of the person who once possessed the Divine Eye?"

"...That person?"

Xu Banxian took a deep breath, then sighed, "We don't know that person's name either. We only know that according to the records of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, the last holder of the Divine Eye..."

"He was once the chief disciple of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace—"

"We don't know exactly who it is either."

29. I like to kill people in my dreams.jpg

Yunping and the others had already seen Lan Tianyi's situation.

At this moment, Lan Tianyi was in a situation that even the old rogue couldn't quite understand.

Her physical body is now severely damaged. Although there are no visible external injuries, her internal organs are almost completely rotten. Her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all intact.
