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

Finally arriving at the Lan Mansion, Lan Yunyan stood in front of the door, looking up at the magnificent, tall and imposing gate of the mansion in front of her, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

The guards at the door immediately became nervous when they saw Lan Yunyan. They hurried forward and said respectfully, "Fifth Miss, you are finally back. The clan leader has returned and has been looking for you everywhere! Please come in and take a look."

"What? Grandpa is back? When did he come back?"

The guard quickly replied, "Miss Fifth, the clan leader just returned today, and he's already aware of the rumors going around these days."

Lan Yunyan's expression changed slightly. Without giving it any time to think, she hurried back inside. Before she even entered the hall, she heard the old man's angry roar from afar: "Where's my precious granddaughter? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her? Where is she now?"

Lan Yunyan quickened her pace, rushed into the hall, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I'm here!"

Upon hearing the voice, Old Man Lan's eyes flickered with surprise. He immediately turned, his gaze piercing the crowd until it fixed on the familiar figure of Lan Yunyan. "Yan, where have you been? You scared me to death." His voice was a touch of reproach, but more so, of unconcealed love and concern, as if a heavy heart had finally been lifted.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."

In her previous life, Lan Yunyan was like a lonely soul, wandering alone in the world, surrounded by a cold and isolated air.

There is always an unspeakable desire in her heart.

However, fate always seemed to like to play tricks on her, causing her hopes to be dashed time and time again, and her pursuits to be lost time and time again.

Faced with Mr. Lan's enthusiasm, Lan Yunyan felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. It was a long-lost warmth, but also a feeling she was not used to.

She was a little at a loss, and her eyes, which were usually as cold as water, were flickering unconsciously at this moment.

Her fingers gently stroked the corner of her clothes, with a subtle but hard-to-conceal nervousness, just like a deer that had strayed into the mortal world, facing the sudden kindness, feeling both curious and uneasy.

"Grandpa..." She opened her red lips slightly, and there was an imperceptible tremor in her voice. It was the fluctuation of emotions deep in her heart, a response to this sudden concern, and also a helpless sigh for her long-standing loneliness.

Her eyes became extremely complicated at that moment, showing both a desire for warmth and uneasiness about unknown changes.

Just as Old Master Lan was looking at Lan Yunyan carefully, his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he had discovered something unusual. "Girl, are you hurt? Who hurt you?" There was a bit of anxiety and anger in his voice, and he was obviously very angry about Lan Yunyan's injury.

Lan Yunyan nodded slightly.

There was a cold flash in her eyes, "Grandpa, it's Lan Zhiyan." Although her voice was soft, it carried an undisguised chill.

"What? You mean Lan Zhiyan, the concubine of the second house?" Old Master Lan's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and he was obviously very shocked and angry about the news.

"Yes, it's her! Thanks to her, I had an adventure in the Misty Forest." There was a hint of sarcasm and coldness in Lan Yunyan's tone.

"Adventure? Girl, I don't notice anything different about you." Old Master Lan looked at Lan Yunyan in confusion, trying to find something unusual about her.

Lan Yunyan smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with confidence, "Grandpa, haven't you noticed that I can practice?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lan's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Lan Yunyan again, as if he was looking at a completely new person.

"Girl, you can practice?! This...how is this possible?" There was a bit of shock and disbelief in his words. It was obvious that he was very surprised and delighted that Lan Yunyan could practice.

"Grandpa, I can really practice now. When I become strong, I can protect you." Lan Yunyan's tone was full of firmness and determination. She knew that her ability to practice meant she had the power to protect herself and her family.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lan burst into laughter, "Hahaha, great! God bless our Lan family! Girl, you must practice hard and become the pride of our Lan family!" His voice was filled with excitement and joy.

"Girl, Lan Zhiyan from the second house dared to kill you when I was away. You must not let her off easily." A cold light flashed in Old Master Lan's eyes.

"Grandpa, I want to avenge this grudge myself." A hint of coldness flashed in Lan Yunyan's eyes.

Old Master Lan looked at her deeply, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and finally nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you. But remember, no matter what, Grandpa will always have your back."

"Grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Lan Yunyan knew that Grandpa Lan still had a lot of things to deal with, and she didn't want to disturb him too much.

"Well, Miss Yan, do you want me to send a few people to you?" Old Master Lan was still a little worried.

"No, grandpa, I plan to go to the slave market and buy some slaves." Lan Yunyan's lips curled up into a faint smile, and she already had a plan in mind.

Since she can practice, she needs some manpower to help her take care of some trivial matters, and the slave market is a good place.

When Mr. Lan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he was relieved.

He knew that Lan Yunyan had her own plans. So, he nodded and said, "Okay, then you better be careful."

"Well, don't worry, Grandpa." Lan Yunyan smiled slightly and turned to leave the hall. She knew that she was no longer the Lan Yunyan who walked alone in the world, but a Lan Yunyan with family, hatred, and dreams.
