“Li Lan, we were classmates before. Now that we’re in a foreign land, we’re still compatriots. You’re right, we are all equal.”

She sighed, her expression slightly complicated. What Li Lan had just said had not only stung Zeng Rou, but had also struck a chord deep within her.

Before the dragon, all living beings are food for the beast; under the heavenly law, all living beings are straw dogs!

So many years have passed, and now that they meet again in a foreign land, Li Lan, though looking disheveled and miserable, seems to be having a very difficult time, still often makes surprising remarks and reveals the essence of things, just like he did in college.

She and Liu Guiyuan seemed to possess exceptional talent and enjoyed higher status and treatment, but she also knew that to the Dao Palace... they were merely slightly more valuable resources, to be used when necessary...

They will be used and sacrificed just the same!

"Weiwei is right. We are all classmates. Even if we develop in different ways, we are all from the same planet, so we still have this sense of kinship."

At this moment, Liu Guiyuan, who was next to Ling Xuewei, smiled slightly and said, "Li Lan, welcome."

"Long time no see, how have you been!"

The hint of mockery and smugness in his eyes was laid bare before Li Lan, and his unspoken meaning was crystal clear.

Their developments have diverged, leaving only a sliver of shared earthly connection...

She's a bit more skilled than Zeng Rou, and she shows off her superiority in a more subtle way.

Moreover, he didn't call her "Xuewei," but "Weiwei"... he was deliberately calling her that for Li Lan to hear.

Back in college, Ling Xuewei was a goddess-like figure in her class, and many people liked her, but most of them only had a crush on her. Liu Guiyuan was different. He was a rich second-generation with considerable family assets, so he was very confident and launched a fierce offensive against Ling Xuewei.

However, in the end, Ling Xuewei appreciated the calm and serene Li Lan more and got together with him.

After graduation, Li Lan heard that Liu Guiyuan was still relentlessly pursuing Ling Xuewei...

Even today, he still harbors hostility towards Li Lan...

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter how you lived before. If anyone dares to bully you in the Dao Palace in the future, just mention my name."

Seeing that Li Lan remained silent, Liu Guiyuan assumed that Li Lan was mostly feeling inferior and remorseful, so he continued with a hearty laugh, saying, "Have you decided which hall of the Dao Palace you want to go to? Zhou Xiang is in the Alchemy Hall, which is not bad, but he's still not up to par. I'll talk to Master about it and let you all go to the main peak to cultivate..."

Li Lan remained calm, but Zhou Xiang looked at Liu Guiyuan with some excitement and said, "Guiyuan...really? Thank you!"

Li Lan sighed inwardly. After all, they were classmates from a few years ago and had spent several years together in their purest years. Why is it that when they meet again, some people always try to physically seduce female classmates and mentally humiliate male classmates?

"Ha, you don't even have this much emotional intelligence. People are helping you out, and you don't even know to say thank you? Li Lan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you've always been like this. You're so immature. Nobody in the Ziwei Star Region will tolerate you!"

Zeng Rou spoke again.

"Zeng Rou, where I go to cultivate is none of your business, is it? Aren't you afraid of going to the Hell of Tongue-Pulling Aren't you so talkative?"

Li Lan spoke calmly. She didn't care about Zeng Rou's existence, but that didn't mean the other party could act recklessly without restraint.

"you!"

Zeng Rou was so angry that her face turned white.

When Liu Guiyuan saw Zeng Rou, who had spoken up for him, being treated this way by Li Lan, his eyes turned cold.

"never mind."

Ling Xue frowned slightly and said, "Let's go inside first. The elders are still waiting for us."

As she spoke, she paused, then looked at Li Lan, a complex emotion rising in her eyes, a fleeting hint of nostalgia, leaving only sympathy and感慨. She said, "The Ziwei Star Region is different from Earth, I believe you already understand, and cultivators and mortals are also different."

"Everyone needs to adapt to new changes, otherwise... it's hard to survive. Good luck."
