--- Chapter 94 ---

Upon entering the array, the scenery Baek Ain and others saw before changed drastically. The scene of a blue lake encircled by a row of mountains became even more beautiful, but one thing caught their attention.

Unlike Jia Nan Academy, Fallen Orchid Sect didn't restrain nor trap the Six Path Reincarnation Flame. In the center of the blue lake, two giant black and white carp swam freely and moved around in a flow-like state.

They revolved around each other before disappearing into wisps of flames.

The flames swam in the air and reached a majestic pagoda, where a statue of a woman in a white robe meditated calmly. The woman's appearance is similar to Lan Rou, which is beautiful and pleasant.

"Rou-!" Baek Ain glanced at his lover and saw a frown on her beautiful face.

"How unpleasant..." Lan Rou muttered in displeasure. "The clan hated me to the bones, and they dared to pull something like this out of their ass."

"Worship my past self, hmph! Those old farts must have gone crazy."

"Eh..." Baek Ain was speechless.

At first, He expected a longing speech from Lan Rou, but she outright insulted her relatives, whether they died or not in this era.

He knew her relationship with Yin Yang Orchid Clan was horrible.

But not this horrible!

Even Yi Xian and Yafei, who have listened to Lan Rou's story when changing her clothes, didn't expect this.

Lan Rou is a woman of a few words.

If she said something long, it's either something she loved(Baek Ain) or something she hated to the bones and annoyances like her former family and many others.

A weak smile appeared on Lan Guan's face because she expected this to happen when bringing Lan Rou to the Fallen Orchid Sect.

"Late Elders, what have you done in the Yin Yan Orchid CLan to anger the Ancestor Orchid to this state..." She sighed in defeat.

Even if Lan Guan wanted to know more, the text about Yin Yang Orchid Clan has long gone in history. Not to mention she's only the 3rd generation of the young lady with impure Lan's Bloodline, so this is out of her scope already.

The fraction of information Lan Guan knew couldn't be compared to Lan Rou, who has lived four lives.

A presence appeared out of nowhere as a woman in a black robe jumped from thin air.

She gazed at Lan Guan with a surprised expression and said, "Guan, you're back!"

"How was the Jia Nan Academy? You should be able to get us some helpers, right?"

"Sect master." Lan Guan smiled at the woman in black.

"I'm back, and bring some backup. Even though these people aren't from the Jia Nan Academy, they are famous and strong in the Black Corner Region."

"Some might surprise you to the very core."

The Sect Master of Fallen Orchid Sect, Lan Tianxue, frowned inwardly and faced four youthful figures. From appearances alone, they are clearly one century younger than her.

Yet her face froze when looking at Lan Rou.

"O-O-Orchid Ancestor!"

"You..." Lan Rou squinted her eyes at the Fallen Orchid Sect's Master.

She pondered and awkwardly continued, "Are you perhaps my seventh brother's third child, Lan Tianxue? Or Huoxue?"

"I forgot because the Lan Clan is expanding like no tomorrow in the past."

"I-It's you-!" Lan Tianxue rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

"..." Lan Rou.

"Sect master!" Lan Guan caught Lan Tianxue's body, preventing her from falling into the lake. She gave Lan Rou a troubled look and sighed helplessly.

"Haa..."

"Follow me, everyone. I'll summon other elders and the grand elder to greet you later, Ancestor Lan."

Baek Ain shook his head gently and commented, "Your family sure is interesting."

Lan Rou rolled her eyes and returned, "They weren't in the past."

Baek Ain chuckled and decided not to ask more.

They entered the small palace near the altar and were "quickly." greeted with a rich fire dou qi, more profound than dou qi energy in the Jia Nan Academy.

It was a surprise because the Six Path Reincarnation Flame is weaker than Fallen Heart Flame in fire energy. And Fallen Orchid Sect also has more landmass than Jia Nan Academy. Yet the dou qi here is better by two times.

The concentration is clearly thicker and better in the lake's center.

"Half-Saint's essence." Lan Rou suddenly opened her mouth.

"My former body is a Half-Saint, possessing a rich essence for anyone below the Half-Saint Realm. It's been almost four centuries, so this land was "probably." blessed by it."

"Is that why the dou qi here was richer than Jia Nan Academy?" Baek Ain asked Lan Guan.

Lan Guan nodded and answered, "Yes."

"It's all a blessing from the Orchid Ancestor."

Lan Rou sneered and commented, "I bet even the array that protected this place uses my former body's essence."

"Haha, yeah..." Lan Guan could only laugh bitterly.

Yafei and Yi Xian have weird looks on their faces.

"Isn't this a good thing, Sister Rou?" Yi Xian tilted her head in confusion.

Lan Rou rubbed her forehead and replied, "It's not."

"What?" Yafei reacted weirdly this time.

Lan Rou looked at her fellow sisters and continued, "I don't blame you for not understanding the value of Half-Saint, who failed to break through into Saint Realm. Fei, Xian."

"It's indeed a blessing for this land but also a curse."

As if she knew something, Lan Guan could only cover her face in shame because the following lines from Lan Rou's mouth were why the Fallen Orchid Sect was hiding and not really famous in the outside world.

"Oh, that's why..." Baek Ain also grasped what Lan Rou meant by blessing and curse. However, she's more brutal in her wording than he thought.

"The Fallen Orchid Sect is weak." Lan Rou glanced at Lan Guan.

"It's so weak that they hide in this mountain range."

"So what if they have the essence of Half-Saint? It's useless because they can't protect it. Over three centuries have passed, and none of the members(including the Sect Master and elders) have reached Dou Venerate Realm. What a shame..."

"Damn..." Baek Ain gave his stern lover an awed look.

Lan Rou grasped Baek Ain's shoulder and added, "Looks, Ain! He's 16 and has reached the 4-Star Dou Ancestor Realm."

"Aren't you ashamed of being surpassed by a junior whose age isn't even two decades yet!"

[Oh, wow. Lan Rou compared you to others like an Asian mom in a family gathering] Alicia said as a matter of fact.

Baek Ain chuckled inwardly and responded, 'She's a cultivator.'

Lan Rou's rambling wasn't over as she looked at the pillars nearby and groaned, "All of you! Yes, all of you who hid in the shadows and only watched from afar! Don't you have shame, huh?"

"We didn't dare, Orchid Ancestor!" Several figures appeared and bowed before Lan Rou, revering her politely. Since the Sect Master has gone up, the other elders obviously caught her movement and hid in the shadow, thinking someone was invading the Orchid Palace.

Meanwhile, Lan Guan's eyes widened as she looked at Baek Ain with a shocked expression, "You're SIXTEEN?!"

"Hehe... I'm just a little bit talented." Baek Ain scratched his neck, responding to Lan Guan humbly.

"A little bit talented? Fuck you!" Lan Guan was a brash woman. She spoke her thoughts directly without minding the environment sometimes.

Baek Ain shrugged and allowed Lan Rou to lead this situation.

"Hold an ancestral meeting in fifteen minutes and gather all your pitiful members." Lan Rou glared at the bowing elders.

"And you, wake up that little lass." She said to Lan Guan.

Lan Guan nodded awkwardly and responded, "Y-Yes!"

Watching the elders leave, Lan Rou sighed and said, "This is more annoying than I thought."

"I'm here only for Six Path Reincarnation Flame."

"What do you mean?" Baek Ain was curious.

Lan Rou smiled and responded, "I was planning to give you the Six Path Reincarnation Flame."

"Also, the Half-Saint's Essence for Yafei and Yi Xian to fix their foundation, if possible."

"Wow." Baek Ain, Yafei, and Yi Xian reacted simultaneously.
