253: The clues are interrupted

"I really don't know. If I knew, I would have told you directly."

Wang Wenshan personally came to the door, even threatening Gu Yan.

After dealing with these ants, Jiang Lan walked back again.

Walking down this familiar street again, he still felt a sense of loss.

Because of his protection, everything here was safe and sound.

Ordinary people could live here.

There was no threat of Yao Beasts or any other problems.

He just remembered that Gu Yan's gaze when he left was indeed a bit pitiful.

He returned for two reasons: first, to see if Gu Yan was still there, and second, to inquire if there was any other information besides this.

But what he didn't expect was that as he walked in, he heard a familiar voice.

He was very sensitive to sounds.

So, when he got closer, he heard Gu Yan's scream. He instantly arrived there, his toes barely touching the ground.

"I thought I was mistaken."

"I didn't expect there really would be someone so ignorant, daring to do such a thing. Their guts must be quite large."

His tone carried a hint of disdain.

The moment Wang Wenshan saw Jiang Lan, he directly threw Gu Yan aside.

Jiang Lan flashed over and caught Gu Yan.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to leave after taking those things?"

Because in Jiang Lan's view, this was not a good place to stay for a long time.

There would definitely be no good outcome. Compared to other current situations, this was the most difficult.

"I know, but I thought Young Master might come back, and I want to make this my place to Cultivate, to practice well, and wait for Young Master to return later."

Gu Yan spoke hesitantly.

Jiang Lan felt a moment of heartache, but he was more angry, because he hadn't felt this way in a long time. During this period, he had basically been searching for the power within the bodhi leaf, and slowly nurturing it.

As long as he didn't use the corresponding techniques,

his lifespan would not decrease. But now, seeing Wang Wenshan, he suddenly became interested.

He even felt that this person was simpler than he imagined.

Or rather, at certain moments, he somewhat aligned with his ideas, and things would be easier to do later.

"What kind of look is that?"

When he saw Jiang Lan's expression,

he couldn't help but swallow.

After all, he had seen some powerful guys.

But compared to the current Jiang Lan, none of them had this much pressure.

"What kind of look? It's the look one gives to a dead person. Although I don't particularly care for the things on you, and I don't find them interesting,"

"I suddenly feel that absorbing them directly like this wouldn't be bad either. After all, this thing seems to have some use."

Jiang Lan's expression carried a hint of disdain.

He then told Gu Yan to hide to the side and began to act.

Since he now had the Blood Burning Art, he merely moved a finger.

The opponent instantly turned to dust.

When he saw the increased lifespan on him, his brows furrowed.

He wanted to say that it wasted his time and lifespan, but it was just to vent his anger, so it didn't matter.

Wang Wenshan's other Puppet subordinates were all scared and dared not move after seeing this scene.

They had never seen such a sight.

Although they had seen those powerful Divine Beings before,

compared to Jiang Lan, they were nothing. It was like a small witch meeting a great one.

"What? You still don't want to leave? Do you still want to stay here and play with me?"

"Unfortunately, I can't put on such a grand show. I think it's a bit of a waste of my time. Of course, if you really want to die, I can grant that wish."

His tone carried a hint of disdain.

Meanwhile, Wang Wenshan's main body, upon sensing everything that happened there, suddenly awoke from his dream.

Manipulating Puppets already consumed a great deal of Divine Power.

Now, upon learning this news, he instantly panicked.

But besides panic, there was more excitement.

He didn't expect such a person to be there, just as he had hoped.

Even everything was similar to what he imagined, and the plan at the time was different from now.

"Good, this Jiang Lan is exactly who I'm looking for."

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly spread the word that I have a bodhi leaf here. If he is willing to come, he might get everything."

"But if he has ideas about my place, or is unwilling to come, then I cannot guarantee that these will all become reality."

After driving away all these guys, Jiang Lan comforted Gu Yan a few times.

"I will give you some life-saving items, but it's best not to stay."

"Because since they are coming for me, there might be more than one group later."

Jiang Lan didn't want Gu Yan to be harmed because of this.

But Gu Yan's gaze towards Jiang Lan was exceptionally sorrowful.

"Young Master, what are you saying?"

"This servant girl doing these things for you is willing, and it has no meaning compared to anything else."

"And you have helped me so much, even if I risk my life, it doesn't matter. Now I am already Cultivating, although I am not as good as you."

"But I am also working hard to improve myself. I don't want to drag you down, and I don't want to be too far behind. It would be truly unspeakable then."

Jiang Lan was a little moved upon hearing these words.

He didn't expect Gu Yan to be able to do these things.

Finally, he gave Gu Yan some Spirit Pills.

"I don't need these. You take them and practice. If you truly cross this threshold, the road ahead will be very difficult."

"But I believe with your ability, you can definitely do well and even become more and more outstanding."

Perhaps Jiang Lan's tone was too gentle.

So Gu Yan also immersed herself in such gentleness.

That night, Jiang Lan left the Inn directly while Gu Yan was asleep.

He didn't want to wait for a farewell.

Although even if he did say goodbye to Gu Yan, she wouldn't try to keep him, he didn't want to encounter the situation from last time again.

He even spent some lifespan.

He set up a protective shield on Gu Yan. He, who originally shouldn't have been immersed in gentleness,

at this moment, also put in some effort because of Gu Yan.

But he didn't regret it.

When he walked south, he suddenly heard news of a Bodhi Tree there.

He had originally thought the old man was joking.

Now, hearing this, he was a little excited.

Because this meant he could increase his lifespan again, even if he used those techniques again.

He wouldn't have to worry about the day his source would be exhausted.

But even if it were truly like this, would the remaining things go smoothly?

Although that Wang Wenshan appeared quite frequently, and it was very easy for him to deal with him, he was afraid that next time, someone even more powerful than this guy would appear.

So he improved his abilities and also significantly increased his vigilance towards his surroundings.

And Wang Wenshan was already getting impatient.
