Chapter 465: Go to the Lan Family and Knock Them All Out
"Hey, polluting the environment is not a good thing."
Despite saying so, Arataki Ichito still considerately handed over tissues and water.
Lan Yan and Jiaming took the bottle of water, rinsed their mouths first, then spit it out, and finally wiped the dirt from the corners of their mouths with a tissue.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
Arataki Ichito asked.
“Hu…Hu…”
Lan Yan took a few deep breaths and stared at Huang Long Yidou with murderous eyes.
She held the two moon-cutting rings in her hands, with veins bulging out from the back of her white hands. She wished she could chop the man in front of her on the head!
Jiaming's expression was full of helplessness, and he could only breathe in place.
"Don't look at me like that. I told you we have to race against time. If I were to do this, we'd cover a thousand miles in a day. Look, it's only been ten minutes, and we've already covered quite a distance."
Arata Ichito pointed to the emerald green mountains behind him.
"Mr. Wu... I understand your anxiety, but you also have to consider our situation. This speed could kill people! Did you know that?!"
Lan Yan was so angry that he went crazy and argued with reason.
"Teacher, you have to listen to Lan Yan."
Jiaming swallowed and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Aratagi Ichito nodded seriously, "Well, what you said makes sense, so I'll knock you out first, and then wake you up after we reach our destination."
“Eh——!!” x2
Lan Yan and Jia Ming screamed together.
Especially Lan Yan, the girl's innocent eyes looked confused and shocked.
She turned her head and looked at Jiaming, as if questioning, "What kind of teacher did you find?! Didn't you say you could trust me?!"
Jiaming also felt something was wrong. When he saw Arawaki Ichido walking forward calmly, he couldn't help but get anxious.
"Hey! Teacher! You don't really want to knock us out, do you? Calm down!!"
"Don't worry, I will control the strength well and make sure nothing goes wrong. You just need to get some sleep, it will be quick, don't worry."
Arata Ichito finished speaking expressionlessly, and a dark shadow gradually enveloped Jiaming and the other person who were huddled together for warmth.
"You...you don't come over here!!!" x2
…………
"Hey, wake up, wake up."
Jiaming suddenly heard someone calling him, so he opened his eyes with great effort, and what came into his sight was a pockmarked face that showed neither joy nor sadness.
He was patting his cheeks gently.
"Old...teacher..."
Hearing the voice, Arataki Ichito stopped what he was doing and turned to wake up another person.
He slapped his palm against the other person's face, causing it to quickly turn red.
Jiaming rubbed his red cheeks and glanced around, "Is this... Yilongbu?"
"Yeah, here we are."
Arata Ichito said without turning his head, his hands moving non-stop, "I've always said that I can control the force very accurately. Look, I just slept and reached my destination."
"...Although it's very fast, please forgive me for rejecting this kind of thing." Jiaming shook his head and sighed.
Soon, Lan Yan was also awakened by Huang Long Yidou's call.
She opened her eyes and saw the same pockmarked face.
So she immediately used her hands and feet to move away from Arata Ichito, and kept checking her limbs and body.
"Don't worry, you're fine. I just brought you here."
Aratake Ichito noticed the girl's concern and spoke to comfort her.
"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't just knock us out and take us away like that!"
Lan Yan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hard.
The kid is angry now.
This answer popped into Arataki Ichido's mind.
Well, indeed, if he was forcibly knocked unconscious and taken somewhere else for no apparent reason, he would probably fight to the death with that person.
"Ahem, this matter is indeed my fault, but the most urgent thing is to go to the Lan family first, and then deal with this matter later."
Arataki Ichito rarely showed a look of guilt, and his apology was quite sincere.
"……Row."
Lan Yan gritted his teeth.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to retaliate, but the problem is that she can’t win, so she can only accept it in humiliation.
On the streets of Yilongbu, Lan Yan walked in front with an unhappy look on his face, leading the way. Jiaming was only one body length behind, without even a glance.
Arataki Ichito walked quietly at the end.
Half an hour later...
"We're here. The Lan family's residence is right in front of us."
Lan Yan folded his arms across his chest and snorted coldly.
"Okay, I see."
"Wait?! You understand what…"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Long Yidou turned into a dark afterimage, flew over the wall in an instant, and jumped into the gate of the Lan family.
One minute later...
Arata Ichito opened the door from the inside and said in a calm tone, "Everything is settled, come in quickly."
Lan Yan covered his face with his hands and said, "I knew it..."
"Is it so simple and crude?!"
Jiaming couldn't believe it.
"Don't be so shocked, just get used to it."
"How can I get used to this kind of thing?!" x2
Walk through the gate with dignity, and after three or two steps you will see a person lying unconscious on the ground.
There were men and women, old and young, regardless of status, no matter who was rich or poor, all of them lay on the ground.
Every time they passed someone, Jiaming and Lan Yan would clasp their hands together and apologize frantically in their hearts.
One of them is the leader, and the other is the guide. They both bear some responsibility for what has happened now.
After a while, they arrived at the place where the Lan family stored ancient books. Huang Long Yidou opened the door and looked at the bookshelves that were twice as long as those in Lan Yan's side room. He said lightly,
"It seems we have to put in some effort again."
Lan Yan pressed his temples and said, "Now that things have come to this, we've done it. I can only pray that it can be finished soon."
Jiaming had resigned himself to his fate and picked up a book at random to start reading.
Lan Yan stopped talking and walked quickly through the bookshelf, selecting his target.
There were several mountains of books piled up around him, and Huang Long Yidou was reading them meticulously.
Time passed quickly, and another three hours passed.
"I got nothing here, what about you?"
Jiaming Chaopeng's vitality had become waning and he looked listless.
Anyone would feel exhausted after reading ancient books for several hours in a row.
"No, absolutely nothing. Herbal knowledge, geography, and humanities—there's no such thing as Liyue history."
After Araki Ichito finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lan Yan, "How is it? Lan Yan, how are you?"
Lan Yan pursed his lips and said slowly, "You two, I think I have found some clues here."
"Um?!"
"Oh!"
Aratake Ichido and Jiaming's eyes lit up and they quickly came to the girl.
"Lan Yan, I didn't expect you to actually find it."
"Tell me quickly, do you have any clues?"
Lan Yan turned the book over and said, "This is a diary of an ancestor of the Lan family that I happened to find. It records many of the ancestor's experiences. It's even older than that of the Wanxiang Fengjiao Lingguan."
"Look, although the diary doesn't mention that kind of two-headed monster, there are similar examples."
On the cliff, I encountered a strange bird with two heads, one claw, and deformed wings. It liked to peck at people's eyes and brains. I was afraid it was not a human being, so I lost my footing and fell.
After Lan Yan finished reading every word, there was no more relaxation in his eyes, only solemnity.
"Mr. Wu, I'm afraid you're right. There might really be traces of immortality here..."
