Capítulo 1148: Chapter 49: Only the Heart Can Be Detached
On the once Sword Burial Ancestor Star, Xiao Lan, like Xiao Zhan and Gu Yan, once followed Zhou Wangchen.
However, Xiao Lan was more pragmatic. After Zhou Wangchen fell, she embarked on her own path.
In the past, she was utterly mocking, dismissive, and scornful towards Zhou Yan, never giving him a proper glance.
But now, Zhou Yan could actually discern sothing different from the other’s eager gaze.
This kind of gaze could only exist with a unique inner depth.
It was a gaze of depth and inner strength, a gaze with certain experience and stories.
This gaze was hard to associate with a sinister and realistic ugly face.
Back then, Zhou Yan was naive and naturally couldn’t see these things.
Or perhaps Xiao Lan of the past on the Sword Burial Ancestor Star was different from the Xiao Lan of today.
One thought for good, one thought for evil, one thought for awakening, one thought to beco a demon. Even if the trajectory is the sa, there will still be different heavenly paths and different lives.
Zhou Yan saw through worldly matters long ago, and even if he hadn’t, he would never integrate past experiences with present experiences to calculate specifically.
It is precisely for this reason that upon seeing these old acquaintances for the first ti, he behaved very courteously.
Xiao Lan was like this, and Xiao Linlin and Xiao Chan’er were just pure-hearted girls, as pure as uncut jade, without any touch of worldly profit-seeking factors.
“Yan’er, are you the young genius Zhou Yan who caused a sensation in Canglan City?”
Xiao Lan asked excitedly.
Her bright eyes glistened, showing a hint of tears.
The turn of events was undoubtedly good, but even if things remained as they were, Zhou Yan would not care.
Zhou Yan nodded slightly, smiling gently and saying, “If there’s such talk now, I suppose I’m the only one it could refer to.”
Saying this, Zhou Yan spontaneously moved closer to Xiao Zhan.
Unlike Gu Yan’s awakening, Xiao Zhan remained as before, his realm still in the Sword Intent Realm, and his combat power was just average.
However, Zhou Yan clearly sensed that ancient sealing power within his blood, a power that even held an immortal divine aura. And this aura, no one in this world, not even the Supre, could sense.
Zhou Yan could sense it because his divine soul was comparable to the immortal, having experienced the real ‘future.’
The future is developing slowly.
The world today, however, is developing rapidly.
When the two truly rge, a true Nine Origin Reincarnation will be ford.
“Good, good, that’s really good. All these years, your father has truly had it hard, and our situation has also been quite unbearable, unable to take care of you, so we didn’t want to bring more trouble your way.”
Xiao Lan said with emotion.
Xiao Linlin and Xiao Chan’er looked at Zhou Yan with timid eyes. The intimacy from childhood had indeed faded a bit, but there was also very little sense of estrangent, almost the sa as when Gu Xi first t Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan smiled slightly, speaking gently, “Everything is fine now, everything will get better. By the way, do Uncle and Aunt know the background of the person who ca this ti?”
The real identity was Ji Taiyuan, which Zhou Yan already knew.
Zhou Yan just casually asked; he didn’t think the two would know, but Xiao Zhan’s answer made Zhou Yan’s eyes suddenly shine.
“The Ji family is related to the ancient Wanling Race Fiery Golden Crow clan, which I accidentally found out. I guess they are here for silencing. This should be a very ancient force, a legendary Ancient Demon Clan. Such a race is very remarkable, skilled in ancient Immortal Path inheritance thods.”
Xiao Zhan said thoughtfully.
Before, he had been observing Zhou Yan, and now he seed finally sure that Zhou Yan was indeed Zhou Wangchen’s son, Zhou Yan, and so he spoke.
Zhou Yan didn’t mind Xiao Zhan’s attitude. He pondered briefly and said, “The Ji family… it doesn’t seem that ordinary.”
“Indeed, so Yan’er must be very careful. It’s heard that the Nine Origin Reincarnation is going to open, and I’m afraid there will be Outer Domain Races descending, and ancient inheritances will awaken. Although you, Yan’er, have also awakened, there won’t be a shortage of people like you, so don’t be too overconfident.”
Xiao Zhan said solemnly.
He was always very calm.
Especially after witnessing Zhou Yan’s extraordinary abilities, he was not surprised but rather worried, worried that Zhou Yan’s youthful nature might be unable to hold onto himself and thus encounter unfavorable outcos.
“Uncle Xiao Zhan, don’t worry, I understand this very well.”
After chatting a bit with Xiao Zhan, Zhou Yan gained more in-depth information about the Ji family from Xiao Zhan and Xiao Lan, and naturally, the Xie family, linked to the Ji family, beca a focus of Zhou Yan’s attention.
“The Xie family previously made a request, saying that as long as we diluted our ties with you or even perford acts to humiliate you, they would give your Zhou family a chance. Initially, they seed stronger, and to give the Zhou family so developnt ti, we were going to comply, but now, seeing that Yan’er is so steady and strong, we won’t go against our conscience and give in.”
After becoming familiar, Gu Xi and Feng Lingqing whispered with Xiao Linlin and Xiao Chan’er, while Xiao Lan revealed another hidden truth.
This simple sentence, on the contrary, suddenly reminded Zhou Yan of certain past experiences that chilled his heart.
Could it be that the truth of the Xiao Family and Xiao Lan in the past Sword Burial Ancestor Star is really as Xiao Lan says now?
Could it be that Xiao Lan’s past ridicule, mockery, and disdain were really intentional? Just to protect the Zhou Family, to protect Zhou Yan?
“If I were as weak as before the awakening, how would Aunt respond?”
Zhou Yan was slightly taken aback, showing a thoughtful expression, and asked.
“I’ve discussed it with Brother Xiao Zhan, and decided that I would be the villain, intending to separate Linlin and Chan’er from you, and I would insult and ridicule you. You know, if any enemy cares about , Linlin, or Chan’er, once we get close to you, you would fall imdiately. The saying ‘a beauty is a source of trouble’ is very obvious on this point. Although I dislike this saying, it is quite evidently an undeniable fact.”
Xiao Lan sighed lightly and said.
Zhou Yan felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
This is the real truth, how cunning and harsh Xiao Lan had been!
But if she were truly such a person, how could she have followed by his father Zhou Wangchen’s side? With his father’s insight, he would never mistake soone.
Then, what about Xiao Zhan?
Zhou Yan couldn’t help but look towards Xiao Zhan.
“Won can be fickle, and so changes can be justified with your father’s character and ability. If I also betrayed, it would be too fake. Besides, I’m inherently unable to perform such hypocritical acts, having a too straightforward nature, so I always show my true self. So, whatever the ti, Yan’er, I will watch you grow, even if I lack the ability, but my heart won’t change.”
Xiao Zhan is not good with words; he is a very silent man.
But at this mont, due to Xiao Lan ntioning this situation, he also couldn’t help but speak.
Zhou Yan suddenly understood, and then gently sighed and nodded.
Indeed, without the experience of life, so things cannot be understood at all.
Back then, being young and impetuous, disregarding everything, Zhou Yan never knew those bittersweet sacrifices made by family and friends alike.
Now, nothing would blind Zhou Yan’s eyes, and he saw every truth behind his series of doubts.
But the truth is even more striking to the spirit.
Zhou Yan felt an emotional fluctuation. Whether affectionate or unfeeling, none of it causes confusion for him now because he has surpassed just emotions or lack thereof—only pure clarity of thoughts remains.
With clarity of thought, nothing else is important.
Therefore, even great joy or great sorrow doesn’t matter.
It is also such that Zhou Yan can better see through worldly affairs and life.
This too is a true return to the truth, a true myriad of worldly appearances, original heart, and Heavenly Dao.
“Uncle Xiao Zhan.”
Zhou Yan’s voice was filled with gratitude.
“You are becoming strong in a short ti now, which is really good. This way, I can also let Linlin and Chan’er return to their maternal family without worry. Originally, I planned to distance them from you, make you give up completely, and then create a false appearance of their death during so chaos, allowing you to sever this bond. Looking at your current strength, you indeed possess the adequate qualification. So Linlin and Chan’er will directly go to the Tianxuan Clan of the Wanling Race. Their mother ca from the Tianxuan Clan’s ‘Heavenly Language Fairy,’ and once they return to the clan, they will inherit the Tianxuan inheritance and rena themselves ‘Lin Shiqin, Lin Shiyin’.
“In the future, if there’s a contest among geniuses, I imagine you all will et.”
Xiao Zhan pondered and provided an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan was montarily stunned.
“The Tianxuan Clan? Does such a race, which takes the music of heaven and earth as its path, still exist in this world?”
Zhou Yan regained his composure, slightly exclaiming.
“Yes. Actually, now that you’ve awakened your mories, you probably realize that your father is not ordinary, and how could the people around him be simple? For example, Gu Yan, his identity is also quite extraordinary, and his wife is even an unparalleled fairy of the Jade Fox Clan, ‘Yuqing Fairy.’ However, when you weren’t qualified to know, we, like you, were just ants. Now that you are qualified to know, there’s no harm in telling you these things.”
Xiao Zhan explained.
“Yes, and similarly, the Xie Family is also not simple. However, we haven’t been able to awaken this part of the mory, and our strength is still low. But not everything from the past is forgotten, so when necessary, we’re more capable of enduring than in the past.”
Xiao Lan said.
“Just like last ti, when the Heaven’s Chosen Girl from the Xie Family stepped on my face with her shoe, thinking I had no power to resist at all. In fact, if I used Divine Power, I could kill her instantly, but ultimately I chose not to fight back.”
“Because with our identity and the status we had in our past lives, fussing over such things would be too petty and would stir up a lot of chaotic affairs.”
Xiao Lan continued to say a few more words.
