When Jiang Lan recovered, the light of the setting sun had already shone into the inn.
It was getting dark.
Jiang Lan looked down at the teacup in his hand and slowly placed it on the table.
He was not bothered by the dark sky.
In the epiphany just now, he felt like he had lived through a thousand years.
The sun was setting.
He still had a long way to go.
However, there was no one beside him. They must have left.
“You’re awake?” A voice suddenly sounded from behind Jiang Lan.
It was the innkeeper.
Jiang Lan turned around and bowed respectfully.
“Thank you, Senior.”
The previous epiphany was related to that cup of tea.
Furthermore, he could clearly sense that his cultivation base had made some progress. Not only that, he could also feel that his subsequent cultivation would be much smoother and faster than before.
He seemed to be getting closer and closer to immortality.
This was naturally the work of the innkeeper.
“The tea doesn’t have such an exaggerated ability. It’s just that you managed to comprehend something in your heart after recalling your past. Of course, there is also a bit of luck involved.”
The innkeeper took the teacup that Jiang Lan placed on the table and slowly walked back to the counter. There were two teacups placed there, including Jiang Lan’s one.
Jiang Lan nodded.
“Remember to come earlier tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll tell you guys what to do,” the innkeeper said to Jiang Lan.
“You guys?” Jiang Lan was curious.
He should be the only one who qualified, right?
Did the owner randomly pick another person?
“I was looking for two,” the innkeeper said casually.
Jiang Lan did not ask further, but he decided to bring some things back.
“Boss, is there any good wine left?”
Dong!
The innkeeper placed a small pot of wine on the table.
“Take it as a pre-payment of your salary.” The innkeeper pushed the good wine in front of Jiang Lan.
“Okay.”
Jiang Lan accepted the wine and planned to leave.
He didn’t see the teenager today, so he didn’t receive any peanuts.
As for where the youngster went, he didn’t know for the time being.
Perhaps it had something to do with the last time when he asked him if he could marry a Dao companion.
Jiang Lan left the old inn.
The innkeeper watched Jiang Lan leave and sighed with emotion.
“That boy can’t keep up with him no matter what. I wonder if he’ll cry the day he finds out the truth.”
Although the old man thought so, there was a smile at the corner of his eyes.
It was as if he had done the most interesting thing in all these years.
…
…
Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit and planned to send the wine in his hand to his master.
He had not left the mountain for so many years and had never shown filial respect to his master.
It was rare for him to go out, so it was not bad to bring some along.
However, he did not know if his master had any troubles. If he had, he would see if he could resolve it.
He wanted to give his master some peace of mind.
Soon, Jiang Lan arrived at the peak of the Ninth Summit.
“Master.”
Jiang Lan handed the wine to his master who was standing at the edge of the mountain peak.
“You’ve been chosen?” Mo Zhengdong took the wine and asked.
He had always been confident in his disciple.
“Yes,” Jiang Lan replied.
If there was nothing else, he planned to return and continue cultivating.
Today’s epiphany had benefited him greatly.
Moreover, he hadn’t found a good place to sign in today. He had to go back to the Netherworld Cave to sign in.
Besides the Netherworld Cave, there was no other place in the entire Ninth Summit where he could sign in.
“There’s something I need to tell you.”
Mo Zhengdong didn’t let Jiang Lan leave.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Lan could tell that his master was a little serious.
This was not a small matter.
Something to do with the Dragon Race?
This was the first thought that flashed through Jiang Lan’s mind. His master wanted to tell him something right when the Dragon Race came.
It was impossible for the two to be unrelated.
Soon, his guess was confirmed.
“A representative from the Dragon Race came today and triggered a series of events. The Dragon Race occupies most of the four seas in the Grand Desolate World. Their strength is unfathomable.
The adult dragons all have the strength of Human Immortals. From this, you can tell how terrifying they are. Of course, Kunlun also has some other relationship with the Dragon Race.
Although we have a conflict of interest, the two parties are now negotiating with each other.” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and explained.
Other relationship?
Jiang Lan was puzzled. Did Kunlun have some sort of alliance with the Dragon Race.?
Then, he thought of Ao Longyu.
Senior Sister Ao was a dragon, but she was in Kunlun. This was indeed somewhat abnormal.
What was even more abnormal was that Senior Sister Ao had actually become the Jade Pool Goddess.
That might be the problem.
There had never been a Goddess in Kunlun. Perhaps the dragons thought that members of their race were the only ones who could enter the Jade Pool and hence wanted to send other disciples to Kunlun?
Kunlun never had a Jade Pool Goddess before this and now that Kunlun had one, a problem with the Dragon Race had suddenly arisen?
After making some rough guesses, Jiang Lan had a rough idea of what had happened. As for whether it was true or not, he didn’t know.
But this matter had nothing to do with him, right?
At most, he had just lent a helping hand to Ao Longyu previously.
Did something else happen that made Kunlun decide to punish him?
“Is this matter even related to me?” Jiang Lan felt like asking.
He wanted to have a peace of mind.
Mo Zhengdong didn’t answer the question. Instead, he asked some questions that Jiang Lan didn’t quite understand.
“How many years have you been here?”
“Around 140 years.”
“Over 140 years. You’re still a little young, but you’re already considered an adult. Have you thought about finding a Dao companion?”
“Never thought of it.”
Jiang Lan didn’t understand why his master would suddenly ask such a question.
However, it was true that he had never thought of finding a Dao companion.
He had been staying in the Ninth Summit.
The Ninth Summit was not a place where ordinary people could stay. Besides, he was pursuing the path of immortality and did not want any burden.
Without a Dao companion, there would definitely be one less burden.
As for the future… that would have to wait.
It might not be easy to find one in the future. Most of the Kunlun Summit Leaders were single.
Including his master, Mo Zhengdong.
Jiang Lan’s goal was to surpass all of them.
He wanted to be invincible in Kunlun, then invincible across the entire Grand Desolate World.
After that, he would then start considering other things.
“You can think about it.” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan was silent.
He really didn’t want to think of having a Dao companion for now.
However, his master should not have told him this purely because he was concerned about him being single.
“Master, is this matter related to the Dragon Race?” Although he felt that he was overestimating himself, he still asked this question.
His master had suddenly told him about the dragons and asked him about his feelings.
Thus, he found it hard to believe that there was no relationship between the two.
“You know that the Dragon Race has come and that the two forces have entered a negotiation phase. You will understand after the negotiations are over. However, you can have some knowledge of the part that affects you first.” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and said.
“Before the sky turns dark, the three Summit Leaders would have finished discussing the final outcome with the guest from the Dragon Race. You will be engaged to the Jade Pool Goddess after that.”
Jiang Lan’s eyes widened in surprise.
Even with his exceptional mental fortitude, he was still shocked to hear this news.
He opened his mouth to refuse.
But no words came out of his mouth.
In the end, Jiang Lan lowered his head and said.
“Yes, Master.”
Marriage alliance.
This was the only phrase Jiang Lan could think of.
He had never thought that Kunlun would need to have a marriage alliance with another force.
And that he would become the sacrifice.
Could he refuse?
In theory, yes.
