Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194: I Also Want to Live a Life I Enjoy

They are all from the Lan Family, sister Lan Ji, who was originally the Saintess of the Lan Family.

Yet she fell in love with a man.

As a Saintess, one is forbidden to marry.

But she encountered Chu Lingyang while escaping for a bit of fun.

A brash man, yet somehow, he captured Lan Ji’s heart all for himself.

Her name was not originally Lan Ji, she was Lan Yan.

To be with Chu Lingyang, she changed her name, concealed her family name, and lived as an orphan with no known origin.

Despite Chu Lingyang facing successive defeats on the battlefield, with Lan Ji as his military advisor, the subsequent battles were nearly always victorious.

Except, he lost solely to Beiming’s War God, Feng Dingchu.

Feng Dingchu was truly an enigma; even Lan Ji, who possessed unique abilities unseen by others, could not fathom his thoughts.

Feng Dingchu was also one of the two formidable opponents Lan Ji had encountered on the battlefield.

The other is the current Beiming War God, Feng Yexuan.

Back then, at the battle beneath Guhong Peak, to her surprise, she was defeated by the young Feng Yexuan.

However, a peace treaty was quickly signed after that fight.

In fact, nobody truly wishes for war; only when both parties’ interests are satisfied, and conflicts do not arise, can the people live in peace and prosperity.

Twice, she was defeated by the War Gods of Beiming.

The men from Beiming, indeed, are truly formidable.

And now, there’s the addition of the former Empress of Longteng Country; how formidable is that young lady compared to the legends?

Lan Ji was somewhat lost in thought...

"Sister, did you actually see whether the Princess appeared in Han Pond?"

Each member of the Lan Family possesses unique abilities.

Although Lan Qing later rose to prominence, surpassing the abilities of the former Saintess Lan Ji.

But this time, in Han Pond, even as he and his sister exerted their powers together, he simply could not see the true appearance of the girl in the pond.

A single exertion of power greatly diminished their Spiritual Qi, making a second attempt in a short period impossible.

Otherwise, he would unquestionably drag Lan Ji to try again.

Only then did Lan Ji snap out of her reverie, not looking at Lan Qing, but at the starry sky above.

"I... couldn’t see it clearly."

Lan Qing wasn’t disappointed but somewhat puzzled.

"Sister, I always feel like I’m about to find her."

But why does a mist appear before my eyes every time I try to see her clearly in Han Pond?

"Are you truly helping the Emperor to find the Princess back, or are you simply trying to verify your own abilities?"

Lan Ji glanced at him.

This younger brother, raised from childhood as the successor of the Lan Family, was heartless and desireless.

Though he had a decent relationship with the Emperor, he was a very cold-hearted person.

He never learned to care for others, and of course, never hoped to receive care from them.

It was the result of his upbringing, not his own fault.

Even when his master passed away, he felt no sorrow, for he didn’t understand what it meant to grieve.

Lan Ji looked at him, feeling somewhat helpless: "Lan Qing, what do you want?"

Lan Qing was surprised; his sister never asked him such a question.

What did he want? He seemed not to have figured it out yet.

But for now, he just didn’t want to return to the Imperial Palace, didn’t want to go back to Lingjiu Hall.

"Lan Qing, there’s trouble with the Moat, and the people are in great unrest. You must go back and preside over the ceremony."

Lan Ji tried to take his hand, but he dodged it.

Lan Qing didn’t even want to be close to his own sister.

But she continued to persuade: "Lan Qing, don’t forget your mission."

"Why must I devote my life to Nanming?"

For the first time, Lan Qing contemplated his own life: "Sister, I want to live the life I choose, just like you!"
