Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

“I’ll say it again, scripture, malice.”

Li Lan spoke calmly.

The skull remained silent for a moment, then suddenly a wealth of information appeared before Li Lan—

Those are some methods left on this skull.

Even so, Li Lan could sense the perfunctory attitude towards the skull—

The scriptures it provided were definitely not complete, and furthermore, the lingering malice within it did not extend to Li Lan whatsoever.

That means, "I'm giving you some face, don't go too far."

Li Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the skull for a long, long time before suddenly turning away and no longer pressing for answers.

The main problem is... Li Lan really has no way to deal with it right now.

Although the primordial power was within his body, Li Lan had no way to mobilize it. The only thing Li Lan could use was that sword of malice.

However, the demons on the fourth floor were not as powerful as this one, and since Li Lanzhi had absorbed half of its malice, he was even less able to harm the skull.

When Xin Zhiping saw Li Lan turn around and walk towards her, she was even more shocked and asked, "What...what did you say to it?"

Although I couldn't hear clearly, it seemed like I saw Li Lan communicating with that demon?

This is amazing...

"We have the scriptures, let's go."

But Li Lan just smiled and said, "I was just lucky to survive."

The two immediately came down from the fourth floor.

When the two returned, everyone on the first floor was astonished.

"They're not dead?"

"Still alive?"

"Great!"

A group of servants were extremely excited, while the others were full of doubts.

"You two dare to disobey orders?!" Zhou Zhongwen roared.

His eyes flashed with cold malice. "According to clan rules, you two are courting death. Guards, beat them to death!"

"Who said we disobeyed orders?"

But Li Lan spoke calmly.

"Still dare to argue? I ordered you to go to the fourth floor to retrieve the scriptures, but you didn't go at all. What is this if not disobeying orders?"

Zhou Zhongwen shouted.

He knew exactly how terrifying the demon on the fourth floor was. Let alone Li Lan and Xin Zhiping, even if all the servants went up together, they would all die.

Especially after the incident a few years ago, when even the second young lady of the Zimu clan had an accident, the family has given up exploring the demon's remains and no longer forces the servants to collect the scriptures.

If it weren't for Elder Luo's power today, even though he was a steward, he wouldn't have been able to force Xin Zhiping and the others to their deaths.

"The scriptures are here; what is there to disobey?"

But Li Lan spoke calmly. He took out a booklet, walked up to Elder Luo, handed it to him, and said, "Please take a look, Elder!"

Elder Luo was somewhat surprised. He took the booklet, read it carefully, and exclaimed in astonishment, "It really is a Xuan-level cultivation technique!"

"Excellent! In this way, our Purple Wood Clan has gained another layer of strength!"

He was very happy.

Zhou Zhongwen was dumbfounded when he saw it. What?

Li Lan and Xin Zhiping actually succeeded?

"You two... how dare you deceive me!"

He became even angrier.

In his opinion, Xin Zhiping might have already obtained this scripture, but just hadn't offered it up!

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Deacon, we risked our lives to obtain the cultivation technique for our family, yet you still want to slander us... I would like to ask Elder Luo to judge this matter."

Li Lan remained completely calm.

Elder Luo put down the booklet, his face darkening. He said, "Zhou Zhongwen, you've gone too far!"

What a joke! Li Lan and Xin Zhiping have already accomplished a great feat by obtaining a Xuan-level cultivation technique. In fact, they might even be able to obtain a second or third one in the future.

The value of a secret martial arts technique far outweighs the small matter of Zhou Zhongwen.

Elder Luo wasn't blind, and he could naturally see that Zhou Zhongwen was targeting Li Lan and Xin Zhiping. If it were before, he wouldn't have bothered, but now, Li Lan and Xin Zhiping had proven their worth.

It can no longer be regarded as a trivial task.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhongwen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Elder Luo, please calm down... I was only concerned for the family, please forgive me!"
