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

"Grandpa, Baiyin Palace is recruiting new disciples this time. My mentor brought me back specially because it's close to my home." Lan Mengyan said with a smile.

When Mr. Lan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Lan Mengyan's mentor cared about her so much and even brought her back.

He held Lan Mengyan's hand tightly and praised her repeatedly, "Good! Good! Yan'er, you are so lucky to have such a mentor."

"Blessing?" Lan Mengyan secretly mocked herself in her heart, but still had a gentle smile on her face.

She gently shook her grandfather's hand and said softly, "Grandpa, you are right. It is indeed my blessing to meet such a mentor.

I will cherish this opportunity, practice diligently, and achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible, not only for myself, but also for the glory of the Lan family."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lan's eyes flashed with relief. He gently patted Lan Mengyan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Good girl, I'm truly pleased that you have such determination and courage. Remember, no matter what difficulties or challenges you encounter, never give up easily. Every step you take is for the glory of the Lan family and for your own future."

"Grandpa, I know."

Lan Mengyan then turned her gaze to Lan Yunyan and said with a gentle smile, "Fifth sister, how have you been lately? I came back this time and brought you a gift. I'm sure you'll like it."

As she spoke, Lan Mengyan took out an exquisite little box from her storage ring and gently handed it to Lan Yunyan.

This small box is made entirely of delicate rosewood and is carved with intricate and elegant patterns. It is obvious at first glance that it is of great value.

Lan Yunyan took the box and raised her eyebrows.

Lan Mengyan had bullied her a lot in the past, so why would she be so kind as to give her a gift?

Gently opening the box, I saw a crystal clear jade pendant lying in the box. On the jade pendant was carved a lifelike phoenix, as if it would spread its wings and fly away at any time.

"Master, this jade pendant is poisonous, you must not carry it with you," said Mengli in the space.

Lan Yunyan's lips curled up into a cold smile, and she thought to herself, "Lan Mengyan, you really aren't that kind. This jade pendant is actually poisonous. Are you trying to harm me?"

She remained calm on the surface, and just gently put the jade pendant back into the box, then looked up at Lan Mengyan, with a playful glint in her eyes.

"Second sister, this jade pendant is really beautiful, thank you. However, I have been feeling unwell recently, so it may not be suitable for me to wear the jade pendant. You should take it back first and wear it when I feel better." Lan Yunyan said, handing the box back to Lan Mengyan.

Lan Mengyan saw this, and a hint of surprise and embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Lan Yunyan to refuse her gift, which caught her off guard.

"Fifth sister, are you feeling unwell? Is it serious? Do you need me to call a doctor?" Lan Mengyan asked with concern, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Lan Yunyan shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, Second Sister. I just have a minor illness and I'll be fine after a rest. You should take back the jade pendant first and wear it when I'm better."

Lan Mengyan nodded helplessly and took the box, but she muttered to herself in her heart: "Lan Yunyan, you are so vigilant that you even refuse to accept my gift. It seems that I have to think of another way to deal with you."

Lan Mengyan pondered secretly in her heart, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

Lan Yunyan's alertness and wit had foiled her original plan. However, she was not about to give up. Lan Yunyan's existence was always a threat to her, and she had to find a way to eliminate it.

When Lan Yunyan is around, Mr. Lan always thinks of Lan Yunyan first.

"Lan Yunyan, you are indeed very smart, but I don't believe I can't find your flaw." Lan Mengyan swore secretly in her heart. She decided to pay closer attention to Lan Yunyan's every move and look for the right opportunity to take action again.

On the surface, she still maintained a gentle smile, as if everything that had just happened was just a small episode.

She gently patted Lan Yunyan's shoulder and said, "Fifth sister, you should have a good rest. When you recover, we will practice music together again."

Lan Yunyan also responded with a smile: "Okay, Second Sister. I will definitely rest well and strive to recover soon. Then, we can discuss music together again."

Lan Yunyan's smile held a hint of meaning, and her words were gentle yet sharp. She knew Lan Mengyan's temperament and methods well, so she was even more vigilant, unwilling to reveal any flaws easily.

Lan Yunyan knew in her heart that Lan Mengyan, as an outer disciple of Baiyin Palace, was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had profound attainments in music.

She knew very well that if she wanted revenge, she had to improve her own strength, otherwise she would be at the mercy of others.

Seeing this, Lan Mengyan kept smiling on the surface, but a feeling of frustration welled up in her heart.

She originally thought that she could plot against Lan Yunyan by giving her a poisonous jade pendant, but she didn't expect that she would be easily seen through.

"Lan Yunyan, you are indeed not simple. But I, Lan Mengyan, am definitely not an ordinary person either. One day, I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death." Lan Mengyan swore secretly in her heart.

A fierce light flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she soon returned to her gentle smile.

As luck would have it, Lan Yunyan keenly caught the fierce expression that flashed across Lan Mengyan's face.

This second sister is really a tough character. Lan Yunyan secretly marveled at her acting skills, thinking that if this happened in modern times, she would definitely be the best actress. The transitions in her expressions were so seamless.

She knew that Lan Mengyan was not as simple as she appeared on the surface, and that she hid deeper ambitions and schemes. The fierce expression that flashed across her face this time was undoubtedly a brief revelation of her true inner feelings.

"Lan Mengyan, no matter how well you hide, there will always be a time when you reveal your flaws." Lan Yunyan thought to herself.

She decided to pay closer attention to Lan Mengyan's every move, trying to uncover her hidden true self.
