"Killed over ten people? Lord Hanguang did it himself?"
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Nie Huaisang had a momentary thought that he was hallucinating, but thinking of the person thousands of miles away, he felt that Lan Wangji would be strange if he wasn't crazy. At the moment, he had only killed a dozen or so people, and they were just spies, so it wasn't a big deal.
"Mr. Lan might be really angry this time."
"Not really."
"No? How so."
"He said he's going to seclude himself for a while, and all the affairs on hand are handed over to Lord Hanguang."
Larger Immortal Sects are divided into inner and outer sects, and they are all controlled by the direct line of the aristocratic families. Take Qinghe Nieshi for example, the internal affairs are definitely in the hands of Nie Mingjue, while Nie Huaisang, although seen by outsiders as a carefree young lord only interested in poetry and painting, actually manages nearly eighty percent of the outer sect affairs, with the remaining twenty percent still being reported to Nie Mingjue.
As a first-class family of the same scale as Qinghe Nie's, the Lan naturally does not concentrate its affairs on the head of the family alone. Lan Xichen is in charge of the internal affairs, while the external affairs fall to the hands of Lan Qiren. According to the rules, Lan Qiren, as the elder of the previous generation, should have long been given the title of elder and settled down at home to cultivate his character. However, due to the environment in which Lan Wangji grew up, his temperament is too cold and solitary. Not to mention communicating with outsiders, he can't even exchange more than a few words with his own uncles and nephews in a day. Helplessly, Lan Qiren can only continue to bear the responsibilities of the external affairs, and Lan Wangji has only taken over the matter of "hand penalties" from him.
Now, whether willingly or helplessly, Lan Qiren has handed over the authority for external affairs. Regardless of whether it is willingly or helplessly, it is absolutely unprecedented for Lan Wangji to decide to take charge of the affairs.
"Second Young Master, everything has been arranged according to the plan. You should focus on recovering your health first."
"Of course, I will focus on recovering my health first. By the way, where is my elder brother?"
"The sect leader has been on the road for two days, and should be arriving soon."
"That's good. I hope Brother Wei won't beat up our brother too badly for my sake."
Nie Mingjue had been investigating the poisoning incident involving Nie Huaisang for a long time, and finally obtained some information, only to learn that the poison came from a tribe in the Qilian region. Since the idea of poisoning had reached his own younger brother, Nie Mingjue naturally wanted to investigate it personally. Little did he know that all of this had been arranged by his unlucky younger brother.
Returning to the topic, regarding Lan Wangji's killing of spies and taking over the Lan's outer gate, Nie Huaisang was merely curious, but those who were unfamiliar with the Cloud Recesses were more surprised, even a little shocked.
Lan Wangji briefly closed himself off in the Cold Pool Cave for a few days, and upon emerging, he made bold moves, reorganizing both the inner and outer gates, surpassing Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren, and rooting out over a dozen spies from other sects in one go.
The Lan family As a prominent family in the current world, it's not surprising that they have planted spies in other families. The key is to ensure that no outsider discovers the information within the core. However, the crucial point is that among the spies exposed this time, one was personally selected by Lan Qiren to enter the inner circle.
This person has been in the outer circle for seven or eight years, experiencing the trials of fire and the test of the sun, and has shown self-discipline, propriety, and practical ability. This aligns well with Lan Qiren's principles in personnel selection. If nothing unexpected happens, this person will likely be promoted to Lan Xichen's internal affairs chamber in two or three years, effectively infiltrating the core of The Lan family.
However, no one had expected that this person was arranged by Jin Guangshan from the very beginning when he entered The Lan family. His ancestors were all locals of Gusu, and he had not left the boundaries of Gusu until he was over ten years old. At the age of fourteen, he joined The Lan family as an outer disciple to study under a master. During those years, Jin Guangshan never used him, so even though there were people specifically monitoring in Gusu the Lan, they did not find anything on him. It wasn't until the final stage of the Sun-shooting Campaign, when every household was in a state of exhaustion and chaos, that Jin Guangshan finally sent someone to contact him.
"The person who contacted him is... is Jin Guangyao?"
"My brother doesn't believe me, but you can go check for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen almost wanted to laugh out of anger. He suddenly didn't know whether to blame himself for being too trusting in the past, only thinking about repaying the debt of saving his life without doubting Jin Guangyao much, or to suspect that Lan Wangji doubted his devotion as his brother.
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, you are my younger brother."
"Younger brother is still a brother."
"How can he compare with you?"
"Why would the older brother want to acknowledge a younger brother?"
"I..."
Lan Xichen was speechless, knowing he was in the wrong. When the three of them formed a brotherhood, he only considered three things: first, to establish some prestige for Jin Guangyao so that he wouldn't be looked down upon just after joining the Immortal Sect; second, to have the status of brothers, making it easier to mediate the conflicts between Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao; and third, by bringing Jin Guangyao in, it was equivalent to bringing in the Jin family, and due to this level of prestige, Jin Guangshan couldn't take advantage of the situation between the Lan and Nie families. Even if he did, it would be good to gather information through Jin Guangyao.
But he overlooked two points, which also caused his current passive situation: one was Jin Guangyao's honeyed words, and the other was Lan Wangji's delayed rebellious phase.
