Lan Yeng is the head of the second largest family in Central Continent City; moreover, she is also the elder sister of Lan An.

Like the Yan Family, the development of the Lan Family is closely tied to Gu Zhiqi.

The Lan Family is an alchemical family.

Six years ago, Gu Zhiqi encountered the sisters Lan Yeng and Lan An. At that time, the two sisters had fallen into the hands of the Tongtian Sect and were rescued by Gu Zhiqi.

Seeing that the sisters had a decent alchemical talent, Gu Zhiqi took them in as apprentices. Later, she further assisted Lan Yeng in ascending to the position of family head. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

After listening to the two’s account, Gu Zhiqi gained a deeper understanding of her own experiences.

No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity with Central Continent City these days; it turns out she had been here before.

After the dinner, the Yan family head sent Qiao Qingshu and Lu Xingzhe back to the hotel.

As for Gu Zhiqi, she was driven back to Xilu Villa District by Lan Yeng.

Midway, Gu Zhiqi suddenly remembered the call from Fu Xiyan this afternoon.

Similar to the situation at Moon Falling Bay Villa District, the villas of Fu Xiyan, Tang Yichen, and the others in Central Continent City were next to Su Yunling’s, only a few steps away.

Thinking that Fu Xiyan should also be at Xilu Villa District, Gu Zhiqi figured there was no need for him to pick her up.

She directly sent him a message, informing him that she was heading back to Xilu Villa District and would see him there later.

Just as she sent out the message, Fu Xiyan replied.

[Fu Xiyan: I’ll wait for you at the villa district]

Staring at Fu Xiyan’s message, a hint of doubt crossed Gu Zhiqi’s mind.

No idea what it’s about.

If it were urgent, he would say it in person; if not urgent, why wait until so late?

Thinking about this afternoon’s matter, Gu Zhiqi began to zone out.

If Fu Yingying truly took her identity, then she and Fu Xiyan are siblings.

Upon thinking of this, Gu Zhiqi felt complicated emotions.

Thirty minutes later, Lan Yeng drove Gu Zhiqi to Su Yunling’s house at Xilu Villa District.

"Master, remember to come to my house after your exams~"

"By the way, if you ever run into trouble, come to me first. Don’t bother with Yan Zhongjing and Yan Dong; they’re not as reliable as I am."

Gu Zhiqi twitched her lips, giving a perfunctory reply.

Lan Yeng noticed Gu Zhiqi’s dismissiveness but didn’t mind. Waving goodbye reluctantly, she said, "Goodbye Master, your disciple will miss you."

Only after saying this did she let the driver get going.

Even after the car started to drive away, Lan Yeng couldn’t resist turning back to look at Gu Zhiqi.

Just as Lan Yeng’s car drove off, someone appeared beside Gu Zhiqi.

"Xiao Qi."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Zhiqi immediately turned around and saw that it was Fu Xiyan. She greeted him, "Brother Yan."

Fu Xiyan nodded, moved his lips but didn’t say a word for several seconds, and eventually ended up staring dazedly at Gu Zhiqi’s face.

Gu Zhiqi: ?

"Brother Yan, what do you need me for?" Seeing Fu Xiyan silent, Gu Zhiqi took the initiative to ask.

"Besides my big uncle and little uncle both having leg issues, my mom too, and my younger brother’s Vital Energy always goes out of control, it’s extremely dangerous each time."

"When you were in the Imperial Capital treating my uncles, my mom and brother weren’t there. They are now in Central Continent City. I wanted to ask, do you have time after your exams?"

"If you do, I’d like to invite you to take a look at them."

Today, seeing Gu Zhiqi wasn’t actually about this matter.

Because of Tang Yichen’s words, he suspected Gu Zhiqi might be his sister, so he took a strand of her hair for a kinship test.

The results had just come in: biologically, it ruled out the possibility of them being siblings.

However, they indeed have a previous kinship connection.
