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

Zeng Chenglin said.

"No wonder!"

Elder Chen nodded and said, "With such qi and blood, even those in the late stage of Qi Refining cannot compare to you. Your physical body is indeed strong enough. What is your name?"

"Li Lan".

Li Lan asked calmly.

Li Lan!

Upon hearing these two words, Elder Chen and the man and woman behind him all changed their expressions slightly.

"Your name is Li Lan?!"

Young Master Gu was utterly astonished.

Li Lan keenly sensed something, but remained calm and asked, "Yes, Elder Chen, is there a problem?"

Elder Chen frowned slightly and said, "Were you previously in a vegetative state? Your father's name is Li Guinong, and your mother's name is Yun Luojin?"

Li Lan's heart stirred, and he said, "Yes."

For a moment, Elder Chen fell into deep thought, as if pondering something, while the two young men and women scrutinized Li Lan with unreadable expressions.

Zeng Chenglin suddenly spoke up, asking, "Elder Chen, are Li Lan's parents at the headquarters of the Fudao Group?!"

His question seemed abrupt and presumptuous!

In reality, his identity made it completely inappropriate for him to ask this question, but he had previously promised Li Lan that he would help her find clues. Later, he looked through old files, which vaguely pointed to the Restorationists...

Now that Li Lan has joined the Restorers, we should give Li Lan an explanation!

"Chief Zeng, you shouldn't have asked that question!"

"Young Master Gu said in a deep voice."

But Elder Chen waved his hand and said, "Never mind."

"Since you were able to wake up and escape from the Li family, it must be fate. I might as well tell you."

He looked at Li Lan calmly and said, "Your parents are currently at the headquarters of the Restorationists. They are safe, and they have even arranged a marriage for you."

A marriage agreement!

Li Lan looked at Elder Chen and said, "Please enlighten me on what exactly happened, Elder."

"Your Li family has some karmic connections from your ancestors, so when your parents were in danger, headquarters sent people to take them away. It's just that we haven't been able to find you since."

"According to some agreements, you should be engaged to a noble lady at headquarters. However, you have not appeared before, so that noble lady has been married for many years and is now a mother."

Hearing this, Li Lan felt slightly relieved. As long as her parents were still alive and safe, that was enough!

As for Elder Chen's claim that Li Lan could not be found... that's just an excuse. The headquarters of the Restoration Clan knows that the Li family is targeting his parents. How could they not guess that Li Lan has been captured by the Li family?

They just don't want to get involved.

Li Lan had seen this kind of thing many times. Even if there really was some karma between their ancestors, now that the Li family had fallen to the level of ordinary people, it was perfectly normal for the other party to be unwilling to fulfill the marriage agreement and to use Li Lan's disappearance as an excuse.

But he didn't care; his parents were the most important thing.

"Li Lan broke his promise, so the engagement should be null and void."

He answered very frankly.

"No!"

But Elder Chen solemnly said, "This marriage contract cannot be voided. Therefore, after that noble lady became a mother, her daughter inherited the marriage contract with you!"

Li Lan: “…”

Holy crap, is this even possible?

"What exactly is the Old Testament?"

Li Lan couldn't help but ask.

Elder Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know the details either, but it is said that the marriage was arranged by an immortal, so it cannot be changed."

Suddenly, Young Master Gu said, "Elder, that is true, but I have heard that some of the older members of headquarters are not satisfied with this marriage. Back then, Aunt Kexin was a favored daughter of heaven, and her daughter Yusu is the hope of headquarters. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can marry into such a high position."

His words carried a hidden meaning, and he continued, "Once the immortals in the mountains come out, this marriage will definitely be discussed again."

His gaze toward Li Lan was quite unfriendly.

In fact, everyone at the Restorationist headquarters knew about this engagement!

After all, this marriage contract was of great importance; it was arranged by a very important person and passed down through generations. Even when a generation grows old and gets married, their children are obligated to continue fulfilling the contract.

Li Lan had previously disappeared without a trace, rendering the marriage agreement meaningless. Furthermore, Li Guinong and Yun Luojin had no other children, so headquarters didn't care. But now, Li Lan has actually come back to life...
