Chapter 109 - 106: What Secrets Does the Gulan Clan Have?

Chapter 109: Chapter 106: What Secrets Does the Gulan Clan Have?

"Stop!"

Tengshe instantly shot out and tripped him with a leg.

With a thud, he fell to the ground.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan stepped forward and found that it was a young boy, but his outfit was a bit strange.

The boy had long hair, styled up like a girl’s, and wore a beautiful silver ornament on his forehead.

His features were delicate, and he had some rouge on his face.

The clothes he wore were probably those of the Gulan Clan, resembling ancient tribal attire, made of rough fabric with a skirt on the outside and pants underneath.

Initially, one could not tell he was a boy, but Qin Zhao, being a Cultivator, could see what ordinary people could not, so he recognized at a glance that he was male.

Chu Yan’s flashlight shone on him, and he involuntarily shrank back in fear.

The boy carefully sized them up, noticing their different attire.

He asked softly, "Did you come from outside?"

Qin Zhao nodded, "Yes, are you from the Gulan Clan?"

He also nodded, and Qin Zhao continued, "We are here to find someone, can you take us there? Don’t worry, we are not bad people; we won’t harm you or your clan."

The boy frowned slightly, looking hesitant.

"Do you really want to go there?"

His words seemed to suggest that visiting their tribal land might not be a good idea.

"Yes, we came for the Gulan Clan."

"Alright, I’ll take you there."

The boy thought for a moment and then added, "You can stay at my place."

Qin Zhao had observed the boy’s facial traits, which portrayed him as a good-natured person.

"Thank you, we will pay for the lodging."

The boy got up from the ground, "My name is Lan Xi."

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan introduced themselves, and Qin Zhao casually gave Tengshe a random name, calling him Qin Teng.

Naturally, the three of them posed as a family: a couple with their child.

After introductions, Lan Xi stared at Tengshe for a while.

He couldn’t help but mutter softly, "This little brother runs really fast."

He had been quite far from them just a moment ago, and yet this little toddler had swiftly come over and tripped him.

Qin Zhao pretended not to hear and asked him, "Why are you running around here late at night? Aren’t there many wild animals in these deep mountains? Aren’t you scared?"

"I am scared, so I hid over there."

Lan Xi thought for a while, then explained, "I was playing outside this afternoon and wanted to catch a wild rabbit to take home, but I lost track of time and it got too late. Then I heard a tiger’s roar and found a place to hide."

Chu Yan frowned after hearing him.

Being a talented all-around doctor, he was well-versed in psychology.

Although Lan Xi was trying his best to appear calm, his expression revealed that he was lying.

He might not have run out late at night merely to catch a rabbit.

But, a child telling a lie, that shouldn’t be too much of an issue, should it?

Maybe he didn’t want to reveal the truth to these outsiders?

Chu Yan thought for a while and then sent Qin Zhao a WeChat message.

Dead White Lotus: He is lying.

Qin Zhao: Yeah.

Dead White Lotus: Did you notice?

Qin Zhao: This Gulan Clan is somewhat unusual; we should be cautious later.

Dead White Lotus: Okay.

Since they were entering the deep mountains, they had purchased some portable daggers and military knives, which were stored in the backpack Chu Yan carried.

Even if they didn’t encounter any bad people, they could still face fierce wild animals.

It’s always better to be prepared.

After about another half an hour, Lan Xi led them to the Gulan Clan.

There were many traps around the tribal area for dealing with wild animals. If they hadn’t been guided by someone familiar, they might have fallen into one of these traps, and whether meeting Lan Xi was lucky or not was hard to say.

Lan Xi’s home was in a remote corner of the tribal land, and the bamboo house was very old.

The group walked up, and the floorboards creaked beneath their feet.

Lan Xi gently knocked on the door; a noise came from inside.

"Mom, I’m back."

The person inside quickly opened the door, and the first words were, "Why are you back? You need to leave right away!"

The woman’s voice was particularly anxious and carried a hint of worry.

"I, I," Lan Xi stuttered for a moment before finally saying, "I encountered some people outside, and they said they wanted to come here. So I brought them here, to stay at our house."

Only then did his mother open the door; a frail, pale woman, she stared at the people outside for a long time.

Finally, her gaze rested on Chu Yan.

She probably had never seen such a handsome man with such an extraordinary aura.

She paused, her expression a bit odd.

"Come in first."

Everyone entered Lan Xi’s house, which had only two rooms.

The rooms were very small.

Lan Xi said he lived with his mother, and the other room was for the guests.

It seemed Qin Zhao could only share a room with Chu Yan.

No, there was also Tengshe.

Chu Yan stared gloomily at a certain Snake Demon, "Baby, I think you can sleep outside."

What need did a Snake Demon have for a room?

There was a river outside; wouldn’t it be nice to catch fish there?

Tengshe stared at him in shock, "You’ve finally shown your true colors, you evil stepfather!"

"You haven’t kowtowed yet, I’m not actually your father."

Tengshe suddenly realized he might not be so dumb; why did he always think about taking advantage of him?

"I won’t; I want to sleep between the two of you!"

Hearing Tengshe’s words, Chu Yan’s face turned dark instantly.

Sleeping between them meant being next to Qin Zhao?

In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt like drinking snake soup.

Tengshe, with his short legs, ran towards Qin Zhao, very assertively saying, "Woman, I want to sleep with you!"

He jumped onto the wooden bed, and then Qin Zhao threw him down.

She threw him down just like tossing a small chicken.

Chu Yan came in just in time to see this scene, and couldn’t help but curve his lips.

"This bed is too small, you two sleep on the floor."

Qin Zhao spoke, and Chu Yan’s smile froze on his face.

"Why? Aren’t we spouses?"

Qin Zhao looked at him leisurely, "Either sleep on the floor now, or I’ll kick you off tonight. Take your pick."

Chu Yan: "......"

A knock came from the door, and Lan Xi brought over another quilt.

"I thought we might not have enough blankets, so I brought another one."

"Thank you; just put it on the floor. This bed can’t fit all three of us."

"This is my bed, and it’s really quite small."

Lan Xi set down the bedding but didn’t leave right away.

He stood there with a complicated expression, seemingly wanting to say something.

Qin Zhao asked him, "Is there something else?"

Lan Xi finally spoke, "Who is this person you’re looking for?"

"His name is Kang Youfu; have you heard this name before?"

Qin Zhao could tell that Lan Xi’s expression changed, but he said, "No."

Lan Xi, his expression solemn, added, "There aren’t many members of our clan. If outsiders come in, we would know. Are you sure you’ve got the right place? Maybe you should leave tomorrow?"

"Do you really want us to leave? Is there something wrong with this place?"

Lan Xi didn’t respond, his handsome young face creased in a frown.

After struggling for a while, he finally made up his mind.

"There is indeed something problematic here. I can let you in on one thing, but you must agree to a request I have."
