"Then they should all know your current identity."
Chu Lingwei was a disciple of Bei Chenfeng of the Cultivation Spirit Academy, a prodigious talent, especially after killing so many snow spirit beasts at Bingji Cliff, the whole Xuan Tian Continent knew.
"Naturally, they know."
Chu Lingwei calmly sat down at the table. Even if they knew and had thoughts, good or bad, they could only suppress them.
"Then you..." Illusion Cat was a little worried. If it were like that, Weiwei's identity would definitely be exposed in the future.
"Don't mind it. Even if everyone in the Xuan Tian Continent knows my identity, they can't do anything to me?"
Chu Lingwei was not afraid of people in the Xuan Tian Continent knowing her identity, she was only worried about the enmity between the Leng family and the Phoenix clan.
"Mmm, I will protect you," Illusion Cat said firmly. No matter how powerful a being, they could not escape from his illusion formation.
Chu Lingwei smiled and hugged Illusion Cat into her arms, stroking its head, "You, cultivate well."
Illusion Cat's face stiffened. He was already trying his best, but the dangers Weiwei encountered were always particularly perilous, which made him very troubled.
"I will," Illusion Cat's voice was muffled.
"I will help you." After knowing her identity and settling her mother and those Phoenix clan cultivators, Chu Lingwei planned to return to the Cultivation Spirit Academy to focus on cultivation.
So many things had happened, which taught her a lesson: only when one's strength was sufficient would one be invincible.
The next day.
As soon as Chu Lingwei woke up, she felt a familiar aura lingering outside her courtyard.
"Second Uncle," Chu Lingwei opened the restriction of her courtyard and invited Lan Xingyi in.
"Weiwei, did you rest well yesterday?" Lan Xingyi came to Chu Lingwei, with a smile on his face. "Weiwei, as the rumors say, you are truly worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the Xuan Tian Continent."
"Second Uncle, you are making fun of me."
Chu Lingwei found it amusing. She had always faced him with her true face, and two months had already passed. It was too late to say this now. "I, on the other hand, feel that Second Uncle is completely different from when we first met."
The current Lan Xingyi wore a blue magic robe, his long hair tied with a band. Cultivators could maintain their appearance, giving him a transcendent aura.
Lan Xingyi chuckled, his eyes sparkling, and looked at Chu Lingwei, "Weiwei, are you on good terms with the young master of the Leng family?"
Chu Lingwei's expression stiffened. The pleasant atmosphere was ruined by this sentence.
"Second Uncle, did you come to ask about my relationship with Senior Brother?"
"Not really." Lan Xingyi shook his head. Yesterday, his elder brother had told him about the changes in the Leng family over the decades. There were some things he had to verify himself, and inquiring about Weiwei's relationship with the Leng family was not useful.
"Then?"
Chu Lingwei thought her second uncle had come about the Phoenix clan's sacred tree and the Leng family.
"I want to take you out for a walk." Lan Xingyi had stayed in the Dark Night Forest for fifty years and had not seen any smoke or fog, so he really wanted to experience it firsthand. "Lingzhou should have changed a bit after fifty years."
"Alright, I'll accompany Second Uncle." Chu Lingwei took out a jade hairpin and put it on her head. A female cultivator with an ordinary appearance appeared before Lan Xingyi. "Second Uncle, let's go."
"Weiwei, why aren't you showing your true face?" Lan Xingyi regretted Weiwei's beautiful appearance. Their Lan family had exceptional looks and talents, which should not be hidden.
Chu Lingwei smiled awkwardly. It seemed her eldest uncle had not told her second uncle about her fame.
"I feel more at ease this way." Chu Lingwei came up with an excuse. Her second uncle would know eventually.
"That's fine too." Lan Xingyi thought for a moment and waved his hand. A handsome male cultivator appeared before Chu Lingwei. "It's better to be cautious."
"Cat cat, let's go."
Chu Lingwei called Illusion Cat and walked out of the courtyard. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The courtyard where Chu Lingwei lived had no maids and had restrictions, ensuring sufficient quiet.
After leaving the courtyard, the entire Long Mansion became much livelier. After just a few steps, they saw teams of cultivators passing by them.
"They are the guards in the courtyard. Weiwei, don't mind them." A significant reason why their Lan family chose to settle in Lingzhou was that Lingzhou had a strong hierarchical division, with clear distinctions of seniority in each cultivation family.
The Lan family settling here would not be easily exposed.
"Second Uncle, here..." Chu Lingwei transmitted her voice to her second uncle. "Do you have any children?"
According to Chu Lingwei's knowledge, her second uncle was several hundred years old. At his age, he should have children.
Lan Xingyi was stunned by the question and then burst into laughter. "No, but my elder brother does have a pair of twins. You will meet them later."
"Are they in the mansion?"
The Phoenix clan was almost wiped out. Procreation was a very important matter. Otherwise, before others could hunt them down, they would first become extinct.
"They are not, but their children are in the mansion. They are also your nephews and nieces." Lan Xingyi's voice was clearly amused, wanting to see Chu Lingwei's expression when she met them.
"Oh."
The grandchildren of her eldest uncle were also her descendants. Chu Lingwei, distracted, selected some good magical artifacts and elixirs from her spatial storage. When she met them, she could use them as gifts.
The two of them talked as they walked, and left the gate of Long Mansion without being stopped.
Chu Lingwei was a little puzzled. From her courtyard to the gate, they passed through more than half of the Long Mansion. Many servants and maids they encountered saluted them respectfully and retreated.
They did not even mention her second uncle's identity.
Could it be that her second uncle's identity in the mansion was not his true identity?
"What are you thinking about?" Lan Xingyi saw that Chu Lingwei seemed distracted and smiled. "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
"Second Uncle, what is your identity in the Long Mansion?"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Lan Xingyi's eyes. Weiwei was indeed smart to guess his different identity so easily. "I am just a rogue cultivator who has been living in Long Mansion for a long time."
Lan Xingyi needed to help his elder brother, Lan Xingning, with some secret missions, and his identity could not be easily discovered, so he rarely returned to Long Mansion with his true identity.
So that was it.
"This is Zui Chun Tower. Let's go up and sit for a while." Lan Xingyi walked in front of a wine tower with a look of nostalgia. "I remember the spirit feast served in this tower was very delicious."
"Everything is up to Second Uncle."
Chu Lingwei followed Lan Xingyi into the wine tower. A wave of spiritual energy assailed her nostrils. Just standing in the lobby and inhaling the spiritual energy from the spirit feast could improve one's cultivation.
"Two fellow cultivators, please come upstairs." The waiter, seeing Lan Xingyi's luxurious attire, enthusiastically invited them to the second floor and prepared to take them to a private room.
"No need, we'll sit by the window." Lan Xingyi waved his hand and walked towards an empty table.
