In truth, Lan Tong had long been loyal to Xia Xingchen, but the meaning behind his actions this time around was extraordinary.

After killing Ye Qingsu and Zhao Mu, Lan Tong became the only expert in the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror in Eastsea City, and the Lan Family also became the overlord of Eastsea City in one leap. Under this kind of background, Lan Tong kneeling in front of Xia Xingchen was more like a ritual, a form of gratitude.

The moment Lan Tong knelt down, Xia Xinghe didn't care in the slightest. Even Chu Qingcheng didn't show any fluctuations in her expression. The two of them knew that it was only right for Lan Tong to kneel.

But in the eyes of Eastsea City's citizens, it was different.

Some people praised Lan Tong for his gratitude and didn't forget his initial intention.

There were also people who felt that Xia Xinghe was the true overlord of Eastsea City, and the Lan family was merely Xia Xinghe's spokesperson.

All in all, outside the Lan family residence, discussions were going on and on. The focus of the discussions and the main topic was still the same as before, still singing praises to Xia Xingchen …

”Patriarch Lan, get up.” Xia Xinghe had completely blocked out all the discussions around him. He only lightly raised his hand, indicating for Lan Tong to stand up. Only when Lan Tong stood up straight and respectfully stood beside Xia Xinghe did Xia Xinghe say, ”Where's Chu Rong and Lan Yiyi?”

”Yi Yi is in the ancestral hall, while the fourth prince is cultivating.” Lan Tong said in an obscure tone.

Those who didn't understand the inside story of Lan Tong's words didn't understand at all.

In the ancestral hall, Mist Yiyi was studying pill concocting while Chu Rong was cultivating. He was comprehending the two great abilities imparted to him by Xia Xinghe.
