It turns out, they were the main characters.

At this moment, Lan Shihua quietly stood up and said, "Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has been thousands of years since I left the Second Ark. Why don't you come with me to relax?"

"I happen to have something to discuss with the current head of the Blue Clan."

This was one of the few ways she could make amends for those two children.

wrong……

It's less about compensation and more about finding peace of mind.

She was an ancestor of the Lan clan, and could be considered half a master to Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying. Yet, she had been doing *that* with those two children's partners in this dimly lit little cabin...

With her abilities, rejecting Mu Zhian would have been an easy thing... but instead of doing so, she deliberately seduced him.

The only way to make up for this sense of guilt is to do something for them.

Even if Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying knew about her relationship with Mu Zhian, they probably wouldn't say anything.

But Lan Shih-huai still felt guilty.

"Do you regret it...?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Lan Shih-huai shook his head slightly: "I was just thinking about some things."

"By the way, if you can persuade Lian'er and Fei Ying..."

She wore high-heeled sandals with icy crystals clinging to them, and whispered in his ear, "Sister, would you mind serving them together?"

……

Even as Mu Zhian left the ancient ship, Lan Shihuai's earlier words were still echoing in his mind.

She concluded by saying that she didn't mind being with her senior classmates, so does that mean if her senior classmates and Fei Ying agree, they can have a big silver party...?

Lan Shih-huai's spiritual consciousness is currently inside the innate furnace. Why don't we just ask her again to confirm...?

"Brother Mu, when did you arrive at Immortal Emperor Mountain?"

Just then, a surprised voice came from behind, bringing Mu Zhian back to reality from his thoughts.

He turned his head and saw Lan Wu, the young master of the Lan clan, standing in front of him.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Mu Zhian first showed a surprised expression, then greeted him with a smile.

Lan Wu's forehead was covered in black lines as he said, "It's one thing for you to say such things to me, but don't shout them like that in front of Father."

“The ancestral land of the Blue Clan is patrolled by clansmen every day, and today it just so happens to be my turn,” Lan Wu added.

Mu Zhian looked thoughtful and asked, "How has our father been lately?"

Knowing that Mu Zhian was deliberately teasing him, Lan Wu was too lazy to persuade him to change his words. He said, "Not long ago, he sent the spirit tablet to the Lan Clan, which can be considered as fulfilling her last wish before she died... However, my father and several elders have been arguing several times recently."

The spirit tablets that Lan Wu mentioned naturally refer to the spirit tablets of Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying's birth mothers.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and smiled, "Is it because Senior Sister and Sister Fei Ying haven't become members of the Blue Clan yet?"

Lan Wu nodded slightly.

The experiences of their childhood were always a thorn in the hearts of Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying. Even though their mother finally fulfilled her last wish and her spirit tablet successfully entered the Lan Clan, the two sisters still had some resentment about becoming members of the Lan Clan.

Ultimately, the clansmen who forced Lan Pingzhi to abandon his wife and children have still not bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

With such stubborn personalities, and given that the elders never apologized, it was even less likely that the two younger sisters would return to the Blue Clan.

The recent dispute between Lan Pingzhi and several clan elders also stemmed from this.

Lan Wu sighed helplessly, "Those elders are all meritorious members of my Lan clan. In terms of seniority, they are even higher than my father. Their positions in the clan are unshakable. Asking them to admit their mistakes or even apologize to my two sisters in front of the clan members is almost impossible."

Mu Zhian laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, you know that what you did back then was wrong, but you refuse to admit it. You're just relying on your seniority."

Lan Wu couldn't help but glance at Mu Zhi'an.

Only Mu Zhi'an would dare to say such a thing. No matter what, the members of the Blue Clan would not dare to comment on those 'living fossils' in this way.

He leaned closer and whispered, "You've come to see my two younger sisters, haven't you? What's their situation in the ancestral land?"

Now everyone in the Blue Clan knows that his two younger sisters seem to have received the blessings of their ancestors and even inherited a great deal of their legacy. This has made some old monsters who used to slumber in the Blue Clan restless.

The inheritance of the Blue Clan's ancestors can be seen as a recognition of their bloodline.

However, the Blue Clan's ancestors chose those two 'collateral branches' as the true inheritors. How could anyone sit still in this situation?

"If you want to know, why don't you just ask them yourself?" Mu Zhian said.

Lan Wu said helplessly, "If I could, I would like to, but you know how badly my two younger sisters have fallen out with the Lan Clan. Apart from you, I'm afraid no one else can get close to them."

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and smiled, "If your father and those elders are willing to back down, I think my senior sisters might forgive them."

"It's impossible to make those few stinky rocks bow down. Apart from the first elder, no one else in the Blue Clan can suppress them in terms of seniority."

Lan Wu shook his head slightly, and was about to say something more when he heard an old and deep voice.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Mu, right?"

Lan Wu's expression changed slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "Be careful. He is one of the Lan clan branches that supported my father in rebuilding the family. You could say he is the 'shadow' of the Lan clan. Everything he does is for the future of the Lan clan, and he will stop at nothing to achieve it."

Mu Zhian looked up following the sound and found that several figures had appeared on Immortal Emperor Mountain. He recognized some of them; he had seen them before at the ancestral worship ceremony.

My future father-in-law was among them.

"It seems they discovered I left Immortal Emperor Mountain, so they came to check on me?" Mu Zhian thought to himself.

Nowadays, besides him, only the Lan sisters can enter the deepest part of the Lan clan's ancestral land. However, Lan Mulian and her sister know that they will not pay attention to them, so they can only place their hopes on Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian nodded politely.

Now that he is no weaker than these elders in terms of cultivation level, he naturally no longer needs to address them as "junior" as he used to.

Lan Pingzhi floated down from mid-air, looking at Mu Zhian with gentle eyes, and said, "Fellow Daoist Mu, it seems that the Azure Emperor did not come to Immortal Emperor Mountain with you this time?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "It was Yao Meng who brought me to the ancestral land. She is still meditating in the ancestral land."

It was almost visible to the naked eye that the eyelids of several elders twitched slightly, and they felt a slight chill in their hearts.

Lan Pingzhi nodded slightly, and after a few brief chats, he finally got to the point: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Mu saw my two daughters when you entered my Lan Clan's ancestral land?"

"I've met you," Mu Zhian said.

Upon hearing this, the gazes of several elders, including the first elder, all fell upon Mu Zhi'an.

Lan Pingzhi then asked, "So, how much of our ancestors' legacy have my two daughters received?"

Mu Zhian shook his head slightly: "I'm not too sure about that... If you want to know, you can ask them yourselves after they come out."

Upon hearing this, Lan Pingzhi smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Mu is not unaware that my two daughters are quite indifferent to me... Even after they entered the Lan Clan recently, they have never greeted me."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian chuckled and said, "Don't you know why they didn't greet us?"

"When my senior sisters were suffering outside, the Blue Clan turned a blind eye. Even when your wife died of a serious illness, no one knew. To this day, no one has taken responsibility for what happened back then, and no one has apologized. Are you waiting for them to voluntarily bow their heads and join the Blue Clan?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but if it were me, I would probably hang up those elders who advised you to abandon your wife and marry a new lover and give them a good beating to vent my anger."

Mu Zhian's words were utterly merciless, and almost the instant his words fell, several clan elders' faces turned ashen.

“Mu Zhian, this is a family matter of my Lan clan. It’s not your place to interfere.”

An old woman glared at him, her words tinged with anger.

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Anyway, if I were the clan leader, I definitely wouldn't leave such a talented and beautiful girl out there unattended, and even let her have no goodwill towards the Blue Clan now."

“You—” another old man couldn’t help but frown.

He was one of the 'shadows' that Lan Wu had just mentioned, and also an important cornerstone of the Lan Clan.

Clearly, Mu Zhian's words struck a nerve with several of the clan elders present.

If they had known earlier that Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying had such talent, they would never have abandoned them and left them to fend for themselves.

“Mu Zhian, we are only being polite to you because you are the Daoist partner of the Azure Emperor, but this is a family matter of my Blue Clan. Moreover, this is the place where the souls of our ancestors rest. It is not your place to act presumptuously here,” an old man said coldly.

"I was just stating my true thoughts. If it were me, I would take revenge on those who pressured me and coerced me into abandoning my wife and children, and imprison them in the ancestral land to reflect on their sins for three thousand years," Mu Zhian said with a faint smile.

"Oh, although I would never do something like abandoning my wife and children," he added.

"Is he crazy...?" When Lan Wu heard this, he looked at Mu Zhi'an incredulously, his first reaction was that this guy must have lost his mind.

Even if Mu Zhian is backed by the Azure Emperor, it is by no means a rational thing to do to mock several clan elders and even his father like this.

An elder from a branch of the Lan clan laughed in anger, and said in a cold voice, "Suppressing for three thousand years? In terms of seniority, let alone you, even Lan Pingzhi is not qualified!"

Lan Pingzhi frowned slightly, about to speak.

However, at that moment, a calm and emotionless voice quietly rang out in the ancestral land.

"If he's not qualified, then what about me?"

……

……

[Another week has started before I knew it. Please give me some monthly votes and death threats!]

Chapter 579 Ancestor in Public, Wife in Private

Almost the instant the voice rang out from Mu Zhian's body, there was a moment of silence outside Immortal Emperor Mountain.

Then, quickly, an old man beside Lan Pingzhi froze, and after a few seconds, he reacted and said coldly, "And who are you? This is the ancestral land of the Lan clan. How dare you disturb the eternal rest of our ancestors here—"

Not only this old man, but also several other elders of the Lan clan, including Lan Pingzhi, showed some anger on their faces.

Whether it's the Blue Clan or other ancient families, their ancestral land is undoubtedly the most sacred place, because the souls of their elders and even their ancestors slumber there.

Previously, the Azure Emperor brought Mu Zhi'an into the ancestral land because Mu Zhi'an, like the Lan Mulian sisters, was not rejected by the ancestral land, so they did not stop them.

However, now a strange woman has appeared, and she is so brazenly disturbing the ancestral slumber in the ancestral land.

This is undoubtedly a provocation.

"Please calm down, everyone. Let me see who this person is first."

The elder of the 'Shadow' clan spoke indifferently: "He dares to enter my ancestral land alone, he must have something to rely on. Perhaps, he is also a great power."

None of the people present seemed to realize that from the moment the woman spoke, the first elder of the Blue Clan, who held a high position, had not uttered a sound. His cloudy eyes flickered a few times, and his expression was slightly dazed, as if he found it hard to believe.

Seeing the elders of the clan so shocked and angry, Lan Wu felt a slight chill and transmitted his voice, "Brother Mu, you've really gone too far this time. You should leave the ancestral land as soon as possible, and I will plead with Father on your behalf..."
