The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Yan Xue was furious as she listened to this and was about to speak when the old man stopped her with a look.

The old man knew that if they fought again today, the Yan family might not gain the upper hand, and Lan Yunyan's strength had already won his respect.

"You..." The old man looked at Lan Yunyan, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration. "You girl, you actually have such strength. Let's just leave today's matter here. Our Yan family will not pursue it further."

When Yan Xue heard the elder's words, she immediately became anxious: "Elder, how can you let her go like this? She..."

"Shut up!" The old man interrupted Yan Xue. "This person is very powerful. If we continue to tangle with him, it will only cause greater losses to the Yan family. I will report today's events to the head of the family after I return."

Although Yan Xue was unwilling, she could only leave in disappointment under the old man's order.

The old man hurried away with Yan Xue and the man in black.

Lan Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Yan family disappear from her sight. Although the battle was temporarily over, the grudge between her and the Yan family had not been completely resolved.

She gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, secretly pondering her next move. Lan Yunyan knew that the Yan family would never give up, and there would definitely be more challenges waiting for her in the future.

"It seems that I have to speed up my cultivation." Lan Yunyan muttered to herself, with a determined glimmer in her eyes.

She turned back to her own residence and began to heal her wounds. Lan Yunyan knew that only by recovering her strength as quickly as possible could she cope with future crises.

At the same time, the Yan family also hurried back to the family residence. Yan Xue was full of resentment, but she did not dare to disobey the elders' orders and could only endure it silently.

After the old man returned to the family, he immediately summoned the family leaders to discuss the matter. He recounted in detail the battle with Lan Yunyan and the astonishing strength that Lan Yunyan had displayed.

The Yan family's top leaders were shocked after hearing this. They had never expected that an unknown woman could have such powerful strength and could actually compete with the family elders.

"It seems that we underestimated this woman." The head of the Yan family said in a deep voice, "We must treat this matter with caution and must not provoke her lightly again."

The elder nodded in agreement. "Indeed, this woman is quite capable. If I can use her, she will definitely be a great help to the family. We should send someone to inquire about her background and see if there's any chance of winning her over."

The head of the Yan family pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement to the proposal.

Meanwhile, Lan Yunyan was also secretly investigating the Yan family's movements. She knew that the Yan family would never give up their pursuit of her easily, so she had to remain vigilant at all times.

After a period of time, Lan Yunyan's injuries were basically healed, and her strength had also improved to a certain extent. However, just as she was about to investigate the Yan family, she found herself being targeted by the Yan family.

One day, while Lan Yunyan was out, she noticed several suspicious figures following her. She calmly continued walking, trying to distract them and find a way to get rid of them.

She deliberately walked into a secluded alley, and when the stalkers followed her in, she suddenly turned around, holding a long sword and looking at them coldly.

"Your Yan family is really haunting us!" Lan Yunyan said sternly.

The stalkers looked at each other, and one of them said stubbornly, "Miss Lan, we are just following orders. We hope you can come with us. Our master wants to see you."

Lan Yunyan sneered, "Want to see me? I'm afraid it's not that easy. Are you from the Yan family trying to take advantage of this opportunity to attack me?"

"Miss Lan, you misunderstood. Our head of the family is really sincere in talking to you. Perhaps we can find a better solution to the matter between you and the Yan family." The stalker explained.

Lan Yunyan pondered for a moment. She felt that this might be an opportunity to understand the Yan family's intentions.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. But if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being rude."

The stalker brought Lan Yunyan to the Yan family's residence. The Yan family head had already been waiting in the lobby. Seeing Lan Yunyan's arrival, he stood up to greet her with a smile on his face.

"Miss Lan, I have long heard of your name. I invited you here today because I want to have a good talk with you." said the head of the Yan family.

Lan Yunyan looked at him coldly and said, "Just say what you want to say."

The head of the Yan family cleared his throat and said, "Miss Lan, I know there are some misunderstandings between you and our Yan family. But after what happened last time, I have also witnessed your strength.

I think there's no need for us to remain enemies. If you're willing, the Yan family can provide you with abundant resources to help you cultivate, and you can also serve the Yan family. We can work together to achieve a win-win situation."

Lan Yunyan sneered inwardly after hearing what Patriarch Yan said. She knew that Patriarch Yan's wishful thinking was just to use her strength to seek benefits for the Yan family.

Lan Yunyan looked at Patriarch Yan coldly, without a trace of fear in her eyes. She knew that Patriarch Yan's words, though polite, were actually a carefully laid trap.

The Yan family wants to use her strength, but Lan Yunyan will never become a pawn in anyone's hands.

"Master Yan, your words may sound noble, but I know that your Yan family is always treacherous." Lan Yunyan's voice was as cold as ice. "Although I am only a woman, I will never succumb to your threats and inducements."

The Yan family's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Lan Yunyan to reject his proposal so directly. He coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Miss Lan, why are you doing this? Cooperating with our Yan family will only benefit you, not harm you." The head of the Yan family continued to persuade her, "Do you really want to make an enemy of the entire Yan family?"

Lan Yunyan sneered. She was tired of this hypocritical conversation. The Yan family wouldn't let her go easily, but she wouldn't back down either.
