The night grew darker, and the bright moon hung high.
Baili Hongzhuang walked through the gardens of the Lan family. It had to be said that the Lan family's grounds were quite extensive, and this garden could rival the royal imperial gardens.
Emperor Beichen had already left the Lan family to meet up with Situ Yan and the others, but Baili Hongzhuang did not go with them.
Now that the attention of the Lan family was on her, if she were to go out and be discovered, it would cause a lot of trouble. It was better to attract more attention here. Emperor Beichen wouldn't take long to return.
As Baili Hongzhuang was leisurely strolling around, a figure in white suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Baili Hongzhuang, you truly have a carefree attitude, casually strolling around the garden here. Could it be that you haven't broken through to the Purple Realm and have been disheartened, so you've given up on yourself?" Lan Qingsong looked at Baili Hongzhuang mockingly. A confident and proud light emanated from her beautiful face, resembling a resplendent peacock.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced at Lan Qingsong indifferently and chuckled, "Comparing your current appearance to how you were trembling in fear this morning, too scared to face anyone, the difference is quite significant."
Upon hearing this, Lan Qingsong's expression couldn't help but change. The scene from this morning was the last thing she wanted to bring up.
"I think you're thinking too much. I've just about to make a breakthrough, so I've been staying in the pool and haven't come out yet," Lan Qingsong defended herself cunningly.
She wouldn't let Baili Hongzhuang mock her using this excuse!
Baili Hongzhuang shrugged her shoulders. "Since you're willing to delude yourself, why should I spoil it for you? Believe what you want to believe."
Although this exchange should have given Lan Qingsong the upper hand, hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words made her feel that Baili Hongzhuang was looking down on her from the bottom of her heart.
This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable!
Clearly, she had the upper hand now. She had broken through to the Purple Realm. Why did Baili Hongzhuang still have such an indifferent and unconcerned attitude in front of her?
"Baili Hongzhuang, don't think that you can threaten me just because you have such a face. The real Lan Yixuan has long been dead, and I am the true head of the Lan family! Whatever conspiracy or thoughts you harbor, they are useless here!"
With her breakthrough to the Purple Realm, Lan Qingsong's status in the Lan family had changed compared to before. The impact caused by the previous battle for supremacy had completely dissipated with the events that had unfolded.
Even in front of Lan Jingkuang, Lan Qingsong no longer needed to fear.
Because in two days' time, she would become the head of the Lan family!
Not just Lan Jingkuang's daughter, but also the one who wielded power in the Lan family!
As soon as she learned about this perplexing matter, she immediately inquired about it. However, the result she obtained surprised her and made her find it rather amusing.
Baili Hongzhuang could possibly be Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing's daughter, Lan Yixuan?
This was simply a fantasy!
For so many years, they had never considered the possibility that Lan Yixuan was still alive. Now, with the arrival of this inexplicable woman, Lan Jingkuang and the others regarded her as a great threat, which seemed ridiculous!
If Lan Yixuan were still alive, she would have come to the Lan family long ago. How could she possibly wait until now?
In her opinion, it was all just a coincidence!
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly and said, "Miss Lan, I don't understand what you're talking about."
