Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Xie Jinglan followed the waiter downstairs and walked into the backyard through the aisle next to the stairs.

When I came out of the back door of the inn, I found that there was a different world behind it.

This is a particularly exquisite courtyard. The first thing that catches the eye is the colorful scene. There are all kinds of magical flowers and plants planted there. Each plant contains unique spiritual energy, and the whole courtyard is filled with rich floral fragrance.

When I looked up again, I saw that it was a two-story house. There was a man standing in front of the door. He was the innkeeper.

"Miss Xie, the master is over there, please come in." The waiter bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you." Xie Jinglan nodded slightly and walked towards the house.

"Hello, Miss Xie!" The shopkeeper came forward and bowed respectfully.

Just as Xie Jinglan was about to speak, Cao Li came out of the room.

"Miss Xie, you're here! Please come in."

"You're here too!" Xie Jinglan said lightly.

Cao Li smiled and said, "The senior is inside. I'll take you to see him."

The two entered the house and saw Zou Ting sitting in the main seat in the main hall.

"I am Xie Jinglan, a junior, and I am here to meet Mr. Zou." Xie Jinglan stepped forward and saluted.

Cao Li knew her background and must have told Zou Ting everything about her, so there was no need for her to hide her identity.

"Do you recognize me?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zou Ting's eyes, and he looked at Cao Li with an inquiring look.

Cao Li shook his head, feeling puzzled. Mr. Zou had long since changed his name, and few people knew his true identity. He didn't seem to have mentioned anything about Mr. Zou, did he? How did Xie Jinglan know?

"Miss Xie, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down and talk!" Zou Ting raised his hand.

After Xie Jinglan and Cao Li sat down, Zou Ting asked again, "I wonder how Miss Xie knew my last name?"

According to what Cao Li said, Xie Jinglan had just arrived in this middle world a few days ago, so she should not know his last name unless someone told her.

Then this person must be someone familiar to him.

Suddenly, a ball of white light appeared, and Bai Cang in a white robe appeared in the middle of the lobby.

"I told her."

Seeing the person who suddenly appeared, Zou Ting and Cao Li stood up suddenly, their faces full of vigilance.

"Who are you?"

Xie Jinglan glanced at Bai Cang and shrugged. "Let him explain it himself!" He would be beaten up if he couldn't explain it clearly.

Bai Cang turned around and sat down in his seat, crossed his legs, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and tossed it back and forth in his hands, "Zou Ting, only a few decades have passed, and you've even forgotten your lifesaver?"

"Savior?" Zou Ting was puzzled and walked over to look at him carefully.

He had been rescued only once in his life, but it was a white squirrel...

"Are you the senior white squirrel?" Zou Ting asked uncertainly.

"It's me, the deity. It seems your eyesight isn't blurry anymore!" Bai Cang said calmly, "It's no wonder I used forbidden techniques to help you escape danger."

When Zou Ting heard him mention the forbidden technique, he immediately confirmed that it was the squirrel that saved him.

"My benefactor!" He lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed heavily. "Senior, please accept Zou Ting's greetings. Over the years, I have been searching for your whereabouts, but there has been no news..."

"Get up! You're old, stop kneeling." Bai Cang lifted him up with an invisible force, "Sit down and talk properly!"

"Yes!" Zou Ting sat down in the lower seat opposite.

Because Bai Cang was here, he didn't dare to be so arrogant as to sit in the main seat again.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Senior, so you came here with Miss Xie."

He could see clearly that Bai Cang flashed out from Xie Jinglan.

"This is a long story. Let me tell you about your situation first. After lying dormant for fifty or sixty years, have your wings grown stronger?" Bai Cang asked.

"I dare not forget the family hatred."

Zou Ting couldn't help but think of that bloody and tragic scene again. He saw his parents, siblings, and entire family members lying in a pool of blood. Every time he thought of those familiar faces, it was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, making him feel unbearable pain.

"The Han family, I will make them taste the pain of losing everything." His hands on his legs unconsciously clenched into fists.

The hatred of the Han family's genocide was forever engraved in his heart, becoming an indelible scar.

"I wonder what Senior Zou's plans are?" Xie Jinglan asked him.

"Although I have gained considerable influence in Tiandu City, I am still far from being able to compete with the two major families, the Han family and the Lei family, at the same time." Zou Ting said.

"Senior, why don't we let Miss Xie participate in this genius conference as well?" Cao Li said.

"Participate in the Genius Conference?" Xie Jinglan came here just to find the Fu family and Beitang Yuan, and had never thought about participating in the competition. But now after hearing what Cao Li said, she felt that it might not be a bad idea to participate!

"Can independent cultivators participate?"

She has no background here and can only participate as a casual cultivator.

"Sure!" Cao Li nodded and said, "The Wuhua Genius Conference is actually a disciple recruitment conference. Anyone with a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul Realm can participate.

With your talent, I'm afraid those five sects will fight for you. Of course, you don't have to join their sect after the competition."

"In that case, I'll participate." Xie Jinglan said.

"In that case, I'll register you and give you an admission ticket." Zou Ting said as he stretched out his hand. A sign appeared on his palm and said, "This is the admission ticket. Keep it."

Xie Jinglan stood up and took it with both hands, "Thank you, senior."

"You have good talent. You have already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm at such a young age. It is not easy for Guangyuan Continent to produce a genius like you." Zou Ting looked at her carefully, and took out a small porcelain bottle and a notebook.

"This is the Wusheng Jue and Tianyuan Shendan. If you practice according to the above techniques, it may help you advance to the next level."

Wusheng Jue and Tianyuan Shendan? Xie Jinglan was pleasantly surprised and knelt down to take the things. "Thank you, senior."

"Well, go ahead!" Zou Ting waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave first." Xie Jinglan stood up, bowed again, and walked out.

"Master, that's great! I didn't expect this old man to be so generous and give you such precious pills and skills. There are still five days before the Genius Conference. Maybe you can make a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation." Xiao Jinzi said happily.

"Well, I will go back and practice now." Xie Jinglan was also very happy.

"Thank you, Miss." Cao Li followed her out.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Xie Jinglan turned and looked at him. "Han Mingyu is dead. As her nominal fiancé, shouldn't you go and pay your respects to her?"

"Stop laughing at me! You know I don't like that vicious woman. I came out to thank you for killing her for me." Cao Li said.

He was happier than anyone else that Han Mingyu was dead. He wouldn't be bothered by that woman all the time, and he wouldn't have to go through with the wedding that was scheduled for two months later.

When he heard that he was going to marry that vicious she-devil, he felt worse than death, but no matter how painful it was, he had to marry her for the sake of the whole family.

Now that the woman has been killed, all these worries are gone and my mood has become cheerful.
