Chapter 389 “Ready to Faint From Surprise (2)”

“Everything should be of equal exchange. Since I don’t have anything of equivalent value to give then I can’t accept something this valuable.” As hard as this was for Old Lord Lan to refuse, only the heavens would know he’s actually bleeding hard inside right now.

However, in order not to let the three elders in front of him frown upon the Lan House or place his precious granddaughter in a bad light, he can only stash away that greed and return it.

Naturally this wouldn’t escape the trio’s sharp assessment. Exchanging a look between themselves, the smile in their eyes cannot be hidden.

“Don’t worry about that Tian Tian, you can accept it with confidence,” Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) was the first to speak out, “If anything, it’s us who might need to ask you for help in the future.”

For example, let’s say they angered their precious disciple in the future after they do something terribly bad like blowing up the garden back at the Holy Island. By then all they need to do would be to coerce this old grandpa to help, no worries at all!

Still oblivious to the naughty schemes swimming in the three elder’s head, Old Lord Lan on the other hand seems to have misread the meaning behind that comment and became overly excited.

Are they implying the Holy Land will need me to help in the future? But what can I possibly do that they can’t?

As confused as he was over this, Old Lord Lan nevertheless comes to term with the goodwill and graciously accepted the gift. A gift was a gift, no reason to refuse when the other party was so kind right, right?

“I am too flattered. Please, even without this bottle of Dan pill I would still be honored to help the Holy Land!” His voice solemn and splendid.

“Haha,” issuing out a delighted laugh in response, Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) was filled with vigor at the successful scam, “Oh yes Tian Tian, where is my precious disciple? Why isn’t she coming out to see us?”

“This…” Awkward in his voice, Old Lord Lan became rather ashamed at the realization: “Yan Yan is currently resting inside. Do you need me to send for her?”

“Uh no that is not necessary, but would find a place for us to work? I would like to refine some more Dan pills while we are here. Once Yan Yan is well rested then we can talk some more.”

Disturbing the lass’s rest? He’s not crazy enough to do something so foolish! It’s a well known fact that the girl’s grumpiness was not to be trifled with after being disturbed during her beauty rest.
