“That’s right.”

“How can a beggar like you have a pet beast? Who will believe you!”

The people behind Lan Ning’er quickly echoed.

“Charm! It seems like they want to snatch you by force. What should we do?” The little old man looked at the small and cute Charm and pretended to be worried.

“You have to protect me! I don’t belong to this ugly monster.” Charm pouted with some dissatisfaction. Hmph! Lan Ning’er really dares to have designs on me! She really doesn’t know life from death!

“You little bastard, who are you calling an ugly monster!” Lan Ning’er shouted angrily when she heard that she was actually being called an ugly monster by a fox.

“It’s you! Your heart is black, and your liver is stinky. What are you if not an ugly monster?” Charm asked in return.

“Little bastard, you’re really courting death. Just you wait. When I obtain you, I’ll skin you alive and make you into a scarf,” Lan Ning’er threatened fiercely.

“Just with you?” Charm’s beautiful purple eyes looked Lan Ning’er up and down, his fluffy little face full of doubts.

“Yes, me. I’m the fifth young lady of the Lan family. There’s nothing I can’t have once I want something,” Lan Ning’er said with a proud expression on her face!

“Is that so?” A questioning voice sounded from behind everyone. Lan Lie’s group of three were standing at the entrance of the inn with a smile that was not a smile on their faces as they looked at Lan Ning’er.

“Big Brother Leng!” Lan Ning’er immediately called out gently like a different person after seeing Leng Wudi. At this moment, Leng Wudi was the only existence in her eyes. She automatically ignored the other two.

The little old man was a little speechless as he looked at the rapidly changing Lan Ning’er. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This… Was the current Lan Ning’er really the same person as the arrogant, domineering, barbaric, and overbearing Lan Ning’er from before? The difference before and after was a little too big!

Lan Lie, who was completely ignored, walked to the little old man with a face full of guilt. He bowed and said, “Elder, you weren’t scared, were you?”

“No. Uh, you are?” The little old man looked at Lan Lie and thought, Is this kid also from the Lan family?

“I’m Lan Lie, the young master of the Lan family,” Lan Lie explained and looked at the little snow-white fox in the little old man’s arms from the corner of his eye. Why does this little fox look so familiar? He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but all foxes appeared to look the same.

“Oh! You’re the young master of the Lan family who’s about to be replaced!” the little old man said in realization.

“Uh! The news spread really quickly,” Lan Lie said helplessly. But it wasn’t so easy to replace him. Alas! In fact, he really hoped that his second uncle and the others could succeed! However, he was afraid that they would have worked for nothing in the end.

“Brat, you’re not unhappy, are you?” the little old man said understandingly. Hehe, this kid’s reaction was written all over his face. Otherwise, if others heard him say this, they would definitely turn hostile.

“How do you know?” Lan Lie asked softly, his handsome face full of curiosity.

“You didn’t turn hostile!” the little old man said with a naughty smile.

“Uh! You’re right. I couldn’t ask for more!” Lan Lie said honestly.

“Hehe, kid, you’re quite unconventional. I like you,” the little old man said with a chuckle.

“Thank you! Erm… Elder, is this little fox yours?” Lan Lie thanked him first and then couldn’t help asking curiously.

“He’s mine! What’s the matter? Don’t have any ideas about him. He’s too young to make a scarf,” the little old man warned with a wary look in his eyes.

“Elder, you’re mistaken. I just think he resembles my friend’s pet beast,” Lan Lie said awkwardly. Boohoo… When did I say that I wanted to turn this little fox into a scarf? I shouldn’t be wronged like this!

“As long as you don’t have any ideas about Charm,” the little old man said with relief.

Lan Ning’er, who was ignored by Leng Wudi, turned her head and happened to see Lan Lie talking to the little old man. She roared, “Lan Lie, this fox is mine!”

Unfortunately, neither Lan Lie nor the little old man paid any attention to her.

“Lan Lie, can we leave now?” Sun Teng urged impatiently.

“Okay, let’s go! Elder, leave this place quickly too!” Lan Lie said and then reminded the little old man.

The little old man grabbed Lan Lie’s sleeve and asked curiously, “Wait, brat, where are you going?”

“We’re going to the medicinal herb exchange meeting,” Lan Lie said. Although the medicinal herb exchange meeting had not officially begun, a number of alchemists had already gathered there, so of course he had to go and see the commotion!

“Oh, I want to go there too. We’re heading the same way.” The little old man planned to rely on Lan Lie.

“Then let’s go together!” Lan Lie said as he glanced at Lan Ning’er.

The little old man nodded, hugged Charm, and left the inn with Lan Lie and the others.

“Stop right there! No one is allowed to leave!” Lan Ning’er stomped her feet in anger and shouted from behind Lan Lie and the others. Unfortunately, she was ignored!

After Lan Lie and the others left the inn, they went directly to the medicinal herb exchange venue. At this moment, the entire venue had been set up. Moreover, some alchemists had already entered and were waiting for the medicinal herb exchange meeting to officially begin three days later.

“Young Master, why are you here?” The person in charge of the venue ran over obediently and respectfully when he saw Lan Lie. Although he was in the second master’s faction, Lan Lie was the young master of the Lan family after all, so he didn’t dare to be disrespectful to Lan Lie.

“Steward Wu, there doesn’t seem to be many alchemists coming for the exchange this year!” Lan Lie said knowingly as he looked at the sparse number of people in the entire venue. He had long been laughing in his heart. Alas! Second Uncle thought that the profits in the exchange would be huge, so he did everything he could and finally obtained the right to manage this year’s medicinal herb exchange meeting. But he probably wouldn’t have dreamed that this year’s exchange would actually be such a failure. Hehe! He was really too happy!

“Uh! Young Master, there are still three days before the exchange meeting begins! Most alchemists have not arrived yet! Moreover, the exchange will last for more than half a month, so many alchemists are not in a hurry,” Steward Wu explained. In fact, he was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Blue Cloud City should have been packed with people by this time in the previous years. But why was it so quiet this year? Apart from some alchemists who came a while ago, these two days should have been the peak period for alchemists to come to Blue Cloud City, but no alchemists entered the city at all..
