Chapter 222 Unrepentant Appeal (6)
Finally, after discussion among the three parties, the remaining rooms were decided to be shared by the Jiang family.
The next day, when Wangyou woke up, Mengyao had already prepared breakfast. Over the years, Mengyao's cooking skills had improved more and more. After eating a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge, Wangyou was almost full.
Wangyou looked at her hands; her ten fingers were long and slender, and yes, they weren't the hands she used for cooking.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group headed to the Lan Clan in Gusu, presented their visiting cards, and were all admitted without any problems.
Upon entering the Lan Clan of Gusu, the first thing everyone saw was a huge stone tablet, which turned out to be the Lan Clan's rules.
"This is too long, over three thousand articles!" Wei Wuxian saw the words "Lan Clan Rules" and curiously went over to take a look. "No drinking, no fighting, no loitering outside... Is this talking about me?"
"Probably, so you'd better behave yourself." Wangyou glanced at the Lan Clan's rules. They were indeed long, but every family has its own rules. The longer a family has been passed down, the more rules it has. For example, their Xie Clan's rules were also quite long, but not as extreme as the Lan Clan's.
"Mhm!" The three nodded seriously. Such a long set of family rules would take forever to copy.
Although Wei Wuxian, Meng Yao, and Xue Yang have different personalities, they all have the air of scions of noble families, making it hard to believe that they grew up in the streets.
After arriving at the resting place arranged by the Lan Clan, Wangyou immediately closed the door and began to cultivate. As for Wei Wuxian, Meng Yao, and Xue Yang, some went to get acquainted with the Lan Clan, some went to make friends, and some went to cause trouble.
Wangyou sensed the presence of two yin energies in the Cloud Recesses, one very faint and the other slightly stronger, but she couldn't pinpoint their exact locations.
Wangyou felt that not only was there a problem with the Underworld, but the Heavenly Dao was also definitely problematic. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to discover it only after seeing it, and she wouldn't have been able to deduce it normally. As for doubting herself, Wangyou didn't doubt herself.
Because sometimes she would look at other people's faces to make sure there were no problems.
It seems this world holds many secrets. The formal learning day will begin in three days. Let's see what the disciples from the other families are like then!
Time flies, and three days have passed quickly.
After changing into the white school uniforms provided by the Lan family, everyone went to school.
Wangyou quickly scanned the people in the school. Few of them carried yin energy, indicating that they had not been in contact with the Ghost Seal or anything related to it.
What intrigued Wangyou the most was that all three members of the Lan Clan possessed a faint yin aura, suggesting they had come into contact with something related to yin energy. However, Wangyou quickly lost interest in watching the spectacle, as she discovered that Wei Wuxian also carried yin energy.
"A-Xian, where have you been these past few days?"
"I've been wandering around Cloud Recesses, Wangyou. I've made quite a few friends. See that cold-looking guy? His name is Lan Zhan, courtesy name Wangji. He's a bit of a stickler."
"I'm asking you, did you meet with those three from the Lan family alone about anything?" Wangyou asked seriously.
Seeing Wangyou's serious expression, Wei Wuxian dared not joke around anymore. "About two days ago, I was caught stealing wine and was taken to the Clean Room. I was also punished by having to copy the Lan Clan Rules three hundred times, but I only copied them fifty times."
"Serves you right, you deserve to learn a lesson. Keep talking."
"Then I saw a puppet. The puppet was covered with all sorts of patterns. It looked terrifying. Its eyes were just whites. I thought it had lost its consciousness." Wei Wuxian honestly confessed everything.
"It seems there's something wrong with that puppet."
“There is definitely a problem. When I went out to exorcise evil spirits with A Yao and Xue Yang before, we would occasionally see these puppets. It felt like someone was conducting experiments.”
"There are so many problems. Using the Ghost Seal for experiments to control people, what a brilliant idea!" Wangyou muttered.
"Forget-Me-Not, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, it's time to go to class." Wangyou took the lead and walked into the classroom, and the others quickly followed.
The disciples from all the families arrived, and after listening to the Lan family recite the more than three thousand family rules, they finally reached the next step: the apprenticeship ceremony.
On behalf of the four of them, Meng Yao presented a bottle of pills, which she had refined herself.
Just as the Yunmeng Jiang Clan was reciting their gift-giving speech, a Lan Clan disciple barged in, followed by a group of arrogant people dressed in red.
"The Wen family of Qishan is as arrogant as ever!" Xue Yang muttered under his breath.
"Indeed arrogant, their heads are practically pointing to the sky, but unfortunately their necks aren't long enough," Wangyou remarked.
However, Wangyou's voice was quite loud, which naturally made the others almost laugh out loud, and also made Wen Chao look at Wangyou.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Wei Wuxian stood in front of Wangyou and said coldly.
"Where did this nobody come from!" Wen Chao was extremely angry.
"I am Wei Ying, and I will not change my name or surname while sitting down!"
"My name is Meng Yao. I'm not a famous person. I just happen to be able to beat you up, young master." Meng Yao smiled gently, but his words were ruthless.
"I am Xue Yang, and I am only good at fighting!" Xue Yang raised his fist and glared at Wen Chao.
Wangyou parted the three people and found that the person had an exceptionally strong yin aura, indicating that he was related to the Ghost Seal fragment and had been in contact with it for a long time, or that someone in the Wen clan had developed a way to use the Ghost Seal fragment.
"Before we came, the Immortal Supervisor told us to listen carefully to the lessons and not to cause trouble," a very pretty girl said, stepping forward.
Wen Chao seemed to have some reservations, snorted and strode away. Wangyou guessed that he had sent this girl to find the fragment of the Ghost Seal of the Lan Clan.
The person who ruined the atmosphere left, and the lesson continued, while Wangyou was thinking about where she could find the Ghost Seal fragments.
It was unexpected that the second son of the Nie family of Qinghe would come to study with a bird. However, since there is already a qualified heir in the family, it is normal for the younger brother to like to play.
After the presentation of the gift, the group left the classroom in twos and threes.
Wangyou went for a stroll in the back mountain.
After Wangyou left, Wei Wuxian, Xue Yang, and Meng Yao huddled together and plotted for a while. They decided to find Wen Chao and beat him up, otherwise they would not be able to swallow their anger.
Upon arriving at the back mountain, Wangyou also saw the figure of the girl named Wenqing. It seemed that she knew there were fragments of the Ghost Seal here, but the forbidden area of the Lan Clan's back mountain was protected by a barrier, so she could not enter for the time being.
Wangyou naturally saw the barrier as well. Breaking the barrier was no problem, and passing through it silently was also no problem. However, Wangyou calculated that someone would get it in a while, and she might not be able to take the Ghost Seal fragment if she went now.
So Wangyou simply went back.
On the way back, I saw Wei Wuxian leading the young master of the Nie family to fish in the river.
"A-Xian, catch a couple more fish, I want to eat them tonight." Wangyou not only didn't stop her, but started ordering food instead.
"Okay, Wangyou, don't worry!" After Wei Wuxian agreed, Wangyou left.
"Brother Wei, is this Forget-Me-Not girl your biological sister?"
"Of course, we are half-siblings. I'm going to catch a couple of bigger fish over there." Wei Wuxian said, then stopped playing and quickly went to catch fish.
