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

After entering the Immortal Realm, he was still far behind his former classmates... Watching Ling Xuewei and others become glamorous and become core disciples of major sects, he was treated as food and not knowing when he would be taken out as a sacrifice.

No wonder he has such white hair at such a young age!

"So that's how it is. I thought I was the only unlucky one who got caught up in this mess. Everyone else is here... so I don't feel so lonely."

Li Lan comforted him, saying, "You're a cultivator now, right? You're better off than me..."

He shrugged, his face full of self-deprecation. Zhou Xiang asked with concern, "Didn't you go find a sect?"

"No, I don't dare to go. I'm afraid I'll be treated like some kind of monster and sliced ​​into pieces." Li Lan laughed. "It's good that I've met you all now. I think those two immortals want me to join the Dao Palace... This should be a good opportunity."

Zhou Xiang hesitated, glanced in that direction, and then said in a low voice, "Entering the Dao Palace... might not be a good thing."

"If you have exceptional talent, that's great, but if you have mediocre talent, then you'll end up like me, a domesticated prey."

"Do you know why these powerful forces like us Earthlings? It's not because we're anything special, but because... we're the best medium for finding the underworld."

"Even Ling Xuewei and Liu Guiyuan might be sacrificed if the time came..."

He sighed repeatedly. After being taken to the Underworld of the Fighting Demon God by Bai Li last time, he was completely disheartened and gave up on himself.

We'll die sooner or later anyway.

A thought struck Li Lan: the main purpose of the various forces supporting the people of Earth is to find the underworld.

This is quite possible!

But this also shows that powerful forces like the Dao Palace are probably the most knowledgeable about other beings in the underworld!

After all, they've been searching.

The God of War instructed Li Lan to find other underworlds and obtain the scripture recorded by other demon gods... But Li Lan was alone and powerless, without any support in the mortal world. Searching like a headless fly was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

If we rely on powerful forces like the Dao Palace, things will be much easier!

With this in mind, he became more determined to enter the Dao Palace.

"She's better off than me no matter what. I haven't even had a full meal in all these years..."

He sighed.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Indeed, although he was in a terrible state, at least he was within a major power, and as long as he didn't encounter any trouble, the Dao Palace still provided him with good food and drink. But Li Lan... was in a completely different state, he had become a beggar!

Back in her university days, Li Lan, though not academically outstanding, had a wide range of interests, participated in many competitions and activities, won quite a few awards, and was quite famous—a prominent figure in everyone's eyes. But now…

“Things will turn around, things will be better from now on... However, if you really want to come to the Dao Palace, you should still be cautious.”

Zhou Xiang offered a word of comfort, then couldn't help but sigh, "You shouldn't have revealed that you're from Earth. If you hadn't, you would have had a choice. This time... sigh."

Having been targeted by the Dao Palace, what other choice did Li Lan have?

"Are you ready?"

At this moment, the two disciples finally walked over impatiently.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, Zhou Xiang just told me that the Dao Palace is very good, and I am willing to join the Dao Palace!"

Li Lan immediately spoke up.

Upon hearing this, both of them couldn't help but show joy in their eyes!

"Zhou Xiang, thank you so much!"

The two men were nominally fellow disciples with Zhou Xiang, and they found Zhou Xiang much more agreeable this time. They continued, "It's almost time, Zhou Xiang, we need to go see the elders!"

--After the arrival of the major forces, they all attached great importance to the emergence of reincarnation, so they jointly questioned Xuan Yuan Tong Xuan, Zhou Xiang and others.

"Why don't you come with us too?"

The disciple spoke again, saying that such a great achievement should not be taken lightly.

Zhou Xiang sighed, and Li Lan could only nod. Immediately, the two disciples led them out of the academy and towards a grand hall in the city. That hall had become the meeting place for various forces.

"Oh right, Li Lan..."

Suddenly, Zhou Xiang looked at Li Lan again, his expression slightly complicated, and said, "Several classmates have come this time... Ling Xuewei is here too."

Ling Xuewei... Li Lan had already seen her on the street, and he knew what Zhou Xiang meant.

His thoughts drifted, and many images flashed before his eyes: two naive and innocent young people in college, holding hands on campus, strolling by the lake, and cuddling in the library...

But all of this quickly faded away.

After graduating from university, the two broke up for a simple reason: on campus, external factors such as identity and class were not obvious; it was more their own qualities that attracted them to each other, which made them able to be together. But once they entered society, the influence of the outside world was often very intense.

Everyone has fallen back to their respective social classes; she was too high up, and Li Lan was too ordinary.

That's it.

Back in the first few years after graduation, Li Lan had already accepted and let go of that love. Now, after experiencing various battles and ups and downs in the underworld and becoming accustomed to life-and-death struggles, the traces of that naive love in his heart had long been blown away like sand.

He no longer felt anything for Ling Xuewei.

"I know."

Li Lan smiled and, to avoid worrying Zhou Xiang, offered, "I'll be my beggar, and she'll be her core disciple."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiang said with a complicated expression, "Li Lan, you are still the same as before. You always see things much more clearly than the average person... No wonder the teacher once said that you are too mature and too precocious."

……

Before long, the group arrived.

Zhou Xiang entered the main hall alone and was questioned by the elders from all sides, while Li Lan was "guarded" by two disciples and waited outside the main hall.

Besides Zhou Xiang, Li Lan saw Yan Zhanyu, Xuan Yuan Tongxuan, Xu Caiwei, and others also go in one after another. Xuan Yuan Tongxuan was extremely nervous, clearly feeling uneasy.

Seeing him, Li Lan couldn't help but think of the Heavenly Mystery Elder, Xuan Yuan Dangtian, also a formidable figure. If he could become an unparalleled powerhouse in the underworld, he must have been a ruthless man in the mortal realm as well. It's a pity that in the end…

In the end, Xuanyuan Dangtian entrusted the Dao Palace's ancestral artifact to Li Lan. Although they were once enemies, Li Lan would not break his promise and would give the artifact to the Dao Palace when the opportunity arose.

However, who to give it to in the Dao Palace... Li Lan needs to think about that. Xuan Yuan Tong Xuan? Li Lan doesn't appreciate that person's style!

After a short while, the people in the main hall dispersed.

Obviously, they couldn't get any useful information out of him. Once reincarnation is complete, the spirits enter the world, and the underworld disappears. Li Lan, the instigator, is right here, and they can't even detect it.

Xuanyuan Tongxuan and the others had already left, but Yan Zhanyu and Xu Caiwei stayed behind.

"There's actually a genius in Nantian Academy!"

Zhou Xiang walked out of the main hall and talked to Li Lan with envy: "That girl named Xu Caiwei has an amazing understanding of swordsmanship. Several elders personally kept her behind to test her!"

Xu Caiwei… Li Lan smiled slightly. It seemed that she had put in a lot of effort and had digested much of what Li Lan had taught her.

The two were chatting when suddenly a woman's voice came from behind them:

"Zhou Xiang?"

Zhou Xiang and Li Lan both turned to look, and saw that several young people had already walked in. Li Lan recognized Ling Xuewei and Liu Guiyuan, whom she had seen from afar once before. There was also a female cultivator, whom Li Lan also recognized. She was their classmate and Ling Xuewei's former roommate and best friend, Zeng Rou.

"You're still alive..."

Zeng Rou was quite surprised, and Liu Guiyuan and Ling Xuewei also looked over.

"Why are you with a beggar...?"

Zeng Rou couldn't help but look at him with a hint of disdain.

Zhou Xiang felt quite embarrassed and said, "He's not a beggar... he's Li Lan."

He is Li Lan.

Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly surprised, and their gazes all fell on Li Lan!
