Chapter 417: Hated by All (2/2)

Their bickering was one of life's great pleasures. Initially, after all those things had happened, he had lost his will to live, but now he was feeling energetic once more.

Life was not as bad as he had thought.

”Well, to be hated is also a new experience,” Lan said with a smile on his face. ”I am used to being revered, so being the bad guy for once is actually quite exciting!”

”You are always the bad guy,” Xue Wei muttered. He was reminded of all the trouble this man had brought him ever since he met him the first time in the Genius Camp when he was merely a youth, but he was still smiling because he was also the one who had given him the chance to become someone strong.

If he had not helped him escape Chang'an, things would be looking very dire for him and his friends. Not to mention, he would never have found Luoluo, and her lifeforce was likely to be drained by the soul reaping formation.

Lan knew that Xue Wei was grateful to him, but he also understood that he was the kind of person who'd never say thank you, but instead would show his gratitude with his actions.

In fact, he had never thought that Xue Wei would actually be able to get his hands on the Thunder Flame Crown, but now that he had, he was quite amazed by the skills of this young man.

Although he was much weaker than him, he was worth it to guide and support.

”Oh right, Hui Yue is likely to find us within a few days,” Lan said suddenly. ”He is incredibly stubborn and annoying. But at least it was him who came, and not his children; they are impossible to get along with!”

”Oh?” Xue Wei was intrigued. He had a good impression of Hui Yue, so how could he be considered stubborn and annoying. Also, why were his children impossible to get along with?

”He has three wives, and all of them have given birth to children for him. All of them are very loved and grew up in a sheltered environment, although he has been strict and taught them well, they are too cheeky and they often pulled pranks on me!”

Xue Wei was staring at Lan with an amused expression on his face. Had he been pranked? That was something he would love to have seen.

Lan looked at Xue Wei and saw through his thoughts right away, but he just snickered.

”Do you want to get pranked too?”

”No, thank you!” Xue Wei still wanted to survive!
