Chapter 786 - 786 New Capital’s Lan Family

786 New Capital’s Lan Family

There was only one Saintess every few generations. Her great-grandmother was one of them, but her great-grandmother had already passed away. Now, only the new one from the Lan family was left. If she obtained her blood, it could be a medicinal primer for Yan Jiuchao.

A trace of light flashed across Yu Wan’s eyes. “In that case, it’s our luck that the Lan family has a Saintess.”

Qiu Bing nodded. “That’s right.”

Yu Wan stood up and said, “Then let’s hurry up and look for her! If we miss this and wait for the next one, god knows when we’ll be able to find one.”

They could wait, but Yan Jiuchao’s poison could not. It would take at least half a month or three months. Yu Wan did not dare to use half a year as a bet.

“How do we go?” Qing Yan, who had been silent for a while, asked.

Yu Wan picked up the portrait on the table. “I remember that when I first saw it, it wasn’t a portrait, but a public map. I think there should be a place that indicates the Lan family of the New Capital on it.”

As Yu Wan spoke, she pondered for a while. Her fingertips dipped in a few drops of tea and sprinkled them evenly on the portrait. The water seeped into the portrait. After the water dried up, the original portrait was gone and the original public map appeared.

“Here.” Yu Wan pointed at a marked place. Although there was nothing on the map, her intuition told her that this was the destination that the woman had left for them back then.

Qiu Bing held the map and studied it for a long time before saying, “No wonder they moved the Capital. This is indeed an extremely good place.”

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. Was this the time to discuss fengshui? Shouldn’t you think about how to go?

Shadow Thirteen said seriously, “Young Master’s poison can’t wait. We’ll pack our things as soon as possible and set off tomorrow morning!”

Shadow Six looked at Yu Wan and said, “Young Madam, are you going too?”

Everyone looked at Yu Wan and their gazes landed on her slightly bulging stomach. Had she gained weight or was she pregnant? Her stomach really looked like it was getting bigger day by day. It was already not easy for her to travel all the way to the Ghost Clan. If she followed them to the New Capital, everyone was worried that she would not be able to take it.

Yu Wan straightened her back and pointed at herself. “Why are you looking at me? Without my face, would the Lan family recognize you?”

That was true. The public map and token were left for the Lan family. If Yu Wan did not go, even if they obtained the token, they would not be able to enter the Lan family.

Yu Wan felt that this child is quite obedient. Other than eating and sleeping, there was nothing else wrong with her. He must be a healthy and fat boy.

Shadow Thirteen thought of something and hesitated. “Young Master…”

That’s right, Yan Jiuchao’s brain was damaged. Until now, he still thought that he was the Ghost King. How could he easily leave his territory?

…

After leaving the residence of Grandma and the others, Yu Wan returned to her bedchamber. Fang Fei and Fang Rong served snacks and pregnancy stabilizing medicine. Yu Wan did not touch any of them. When Yan Jiuchao returned from the clan, he saw Yu Wan leaning against the bed and sighing.

His handsome brows furrowed, and a powerful killing intent poured out. The two of them were so frightened that their legs and stomachs trembled.

“You can leave.” Yu Wan waved her hand.

He originally wanted to strangle these two servants to death who did not know how to serve. After Yu Wan spoke, Yan Jiuchao retracted his killing intent. The two of them were relieved and left fearfully.

Yan Jiuchao strode to the bed and pinched the little fat meat on her waist. After confirming that she did not lose weight, he sat down beside her. “Why aren’t you eating?”

“I can’t eat,” Yu Wan said.

“Men!” Yan Jiuchao wanted to drag the chef out and chop him up again.

Yu Wan stopped him and said, “It’s not about the chef, it’s about me.”

“What’s wrong?” Yan Jiuchao’s gaze landed on her abdomen. “Did this thing torture you?”

“No.” Yu Wan lowered her head and said aggrievedly, “I miss home.”

“Nanzhao?” If he remembered correctly, she was the Princess of Nanzhao. Yan Jiuchao said disdainfully, “Hmph, your father sold you for a mere worm. What’s there to think about in such a family?”

Yu Wan’s eyes flashed and she probed, “I’m thinking about… our home in the New Capital.”

“The New Capital?” Yan Jiuchao frowned.

“It’s not like I only have a father and no mother. My mother’s house is in the New Capital. Can you accompany me to the New Capital? In our New Capital, there has always been a custom that we have to bring our newlywed husband back after the wedding,” Yu Wan said as she secretly sized up his expression.

He now had the Ghost King’s memories and habits, so he would not easily leave the clan. Therefore, Yu Wan was not sure if he could accept her suggestion.

As expected, Yan Jiuchao’s expression became resistant when he heard about returning.

Yu Wan shook his arm and said softly, “Just accompany me. I really want to see them.”

The Ghost King’s habits and Yan Jiuchao’s will fight fiercely. Two completely different voices appeared in his mind. One urged him to agree as soon as possible, and the other forced him not to leave the clan.

“Alright, I’ll go back with you.” Yan Jiuchao finally defeated the Ghost King’s will. “Men!”

Fang Rong and Fang Fei bowed and walked in. “My King.”

Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “Prepare the carriage. I want to accompany Madam back!”

“Yes!” The two of them agreed respectfully.

Yu Wan said, “Wait, don’t make this public first.”

“Why?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

This was because the Qiu family had been guarding the Ghost King for generations. Once they let the New Capital know that the Ghost King had left the place of exile, not only would the “Ghost King” be in danger, but the entire Qiu family would also face a calamity.

However, Yu Wan could not think of a better reason. She braced herself and said, “I… just don’t want to make it public.”

Yan Jiuchao narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Have you brought that pretty boy back to the New Capital?”

Yu Wan shook her head. “No, you’re the first!”

This fact greatly pleased Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao did not ask why she was hiding it. He glanced at her indifferently. “Got it.”

The next day, the Ghost Clan spread the news that the King was in seclusion in the forbidden area. This was not the first time the King was in seclusion. The longest time was from the end of spring to the beginning of autumn. Everyone was used to it, so no one felt anything amiss.

Ah Dou was entrusted with an important task of guarding the place where the King was in seclusion.

The real Ghost King was in the forbidden area, hugging a small milk bottle that Asura had given him. Of course, the explanation to Yan Jiuchao was that this was his substitute in the Ghost Clan.

Yan Jiuchao nodded heavily and gladly accepted it.

“Bring Grandma and the others along too.” Going to New Capital was not just about finding a medicinal primer. The best plan was to split up after entering New Capital. Of course, for now, they had to successfully enter New Capital.

...

Before leaving, Yu Wan sent the disciples of the Feiyu Manor out of the palace. Ji Xingchuan’s whereabouts were unknown. With his cultivation, his life should not be in danger. The most likely possibility was that he was lost in the forest. The disciples of the Feiyu Manor went to look for him, while Yu Wan and the others boarded the carriage to the New Capital.

Yu Wan did not think that there would be any danger in this trip. She was a descendant of the Lan family, and the Lan family was a noble of New Capital. Now that there was a Saintess, she should be an existence that could do whatever she wanted in New Capital.

They did not encounter any danger along the way. Following the path indicated by the map, the group successfully crossed the mountains and followed the river. They passed through a few sparse villages and finally arrived at a towering and majestic city at the end of March.

“This place is so lively.” Yu Wan looked at the commoners queuing up to enter the city outside the city gate. She could hardly believe that there was such a huge city in the distant Ghost Domain.

Qing Yan pointed in the direction of the city gate. “Grandma, what’s written on the plaque on the city wall?”

Qiu Bing narrowed his eyes and said, “Nether Capital.”

“Nether Capital? Is that the name of the new Capital?” Yu Wan opened the map and looked at it to confirm that they had not gone the wrong way.

The three little munchkins could not wait to stick their heads out of the window. On the way, they did not have a good time sunbathing and had turned much fairer. They were no longer the three black eggs from back then.

The pedestrians on the road had never seen such beautiful children, and they were triplets. They all looked over curiously.

Yan Jiuchao carried his sons back into his arms and calmly pulled down the curtain. It was their turn not long after. Qing Yan jumped off the carriage and handed over the token in his hand.

When the guard guarding the city saw this token, he frowned and sized up Qing Yan. He said impatiently, “You can’t enter the city!”

...

Qing Yan said, “Why? We’re from the Lan family!”

“The Lan family?” The guard snorted and threw the token back into his arms. “Don’t think that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can pretend to be a member of the Lan family! I’ve been guarding the city for so long, how can I not recognize the Lan family’s token? I’m in a good mood, so I won’t arrest you today. If you dare to use these fake tokens to fool me again, be careful that I’ll arrest all of you!”

“You…”

“Qing Yan, what’s wrong?” Yu Wan lifted the curtain.

Qing Yan walked over with the token and said, “The guard said that this token is fake.”

Yu Wan frowned. “Fake? How can that be?”

As they spoke, an old woman walked over with a hunched back and patted Qing Yan’s shoulder. “Young Master, are you looking for the Lan family?”

“That’s right.” Qing Yan turned to look at her. “Granny, do you know where the Lan family is?”

The old woman asked, “Are you looking for the Lan family in the city, or outside the city?”

Qing Yan and Yu Wan exchanged glances and asked her, “There are still two Lan families?”

The old woman raised her thin hand. “You can’t see the ones in the city. The ones outside the city are there.”
