258: Have to compromise

“So what?”

“Even if it’s true, I still met Mr. Jiang Lan first. Even if you have a Magic Treasure that can detect the Bodhi Tree, you still need to be able to use it.”

It’s no wonder Wang Wenshan was so confident.

Actually, Wang Wenshan hadn't thought so much at the time, nor had he expected this team to make such a move.

In his impression, this person's attitude was quite good, and even if they really cooperated, it wouldn't be a problem.

But now, it seems this person has truly exceeded his expectations, completely different from what he initially thought.

That’s why he was truly angered this time.

Seeing this, Xu Lindong on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had just said something casually, never expecting this guy to get so agitated. He wanted to cooperate with Jiang Lan this time.

And it could indeed bring great benefits to Jiang Lan, but their Family heirloom truly couldn’t be leaked, nor could it be casually used by an individual.

However, his father said that at necessary moments, some things still needed to be endured.

So he didn't overthink it.

Jiang Lan watched the two arguing, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had no interest in participating in what these two were saying, because to him, it was unnecessary.

He had said at the time that no matter what they did, as long as it didn't affect his plans.

Then they could do whatever they wanted, and he wouldn't care.

But these later things were different, so he would observe their final performance.

“If you two want to argue, go outside.”

With just that one sentence, the two exchanged an awkward glance.

They truly hadn't intended to argue.

Nor had they considered the later consequences, but given Jiang Lan's current situation...

If they didn't clarify things, it seemed neither of them would be allowed to stay.

Even Xu Lindong felt that even if he had a Magical Artifact, if Jiang Lan was unhappy, he would still have to leave.

“We understand. We’ll resolve this outside and then come back in.”

After coming out, the two immediately started fighting without another word. Although Xu Lindong's strength wasn't great...

The Magical Artifact given by his Family was very good.

The demon soldiers outside couldn't get close to either of them.

With just one glance, Jiang Lan saw the upper limit of their strength, but he wasn't interested in paying attention.

Because he felt it was meaningless; whether the two of them lived or died had nothing to do with him.

He was only there to obtain the Magical Artifact on Xu Lindong and find the Bodhi Tree.

At that time, he would pluck three bodhi leaves to Cultivate.

Then his lifespan would continue to increase.

Otherwise, if he were to fight using other Magical Artifacts, the lifespan consumed would be too long.

Although compared to ordinary people, his current lifespan was something most people couldn't compare to.

But he wasn't anxious. After all, in his eyes, lifespan was like money in his previous life.

Naturally, the more the better, and he wouldn't dislike it. It's just that these two guys didn't seem to understand.

They fought for a while, then came in, bruised and swollen, standing before him, admitting their mistakes.

The general idea was to see who Jiang Lan would take with him.

“Aren’t you joking with those words?” “Xu Lindong has the Magical Artifact I need, and you? You’re not very useful, but I don’t think there’s any problem taking you along.”

Hearing this, Wang Wenshan’s eyes widened, full of smiles.

“See? Mr. Jiang Lan said there’s no problem taking me.”

“I just want to know that you are more familiar with the situation here. I hope you won’t disappoint me then.”

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he waved his large hand, and the two were directly sent two miles away, where they stood outside, grinning foolishly.

“I just felt that this was very normal, and even what I imagined at that time was simple.”

“Now it seems that this situation is not too exaggerated.”

After they left, Jiang Lan closed his eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, Wang Wenshan also put away his foolish appearance and returned to his residence.

“Lord Wang Wenshan.”

“I saw that what those guys said earlier was quite normal, but now they are not following your arrangements.”

“Then how will this plan proceed? Will this Jiang Lan be easy to talk to? What if he has other ideas?”

Hearing this, he sneered.

“Whatever ideas he has, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Besides, it’s already like this. If you insist on saying so, then this is just the predetermined outcome of certain things.”

“I just need to agree to travel with him, or be completely aware of some things that will happen later.”

His earlier antics were all to make Jiang Lan take him along.

He had also realized that Jiang Lan was a person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. If he acted too aggressively...

There might be no good outcome in the end, and he might even provoke consequences he couldn't handle.

But this situation was different. Jiang Lan was strong and very serious about these matters.

So even if he said anything...

He could still come up with battle strategies in time.

“I always thought it was about the same.”

“But I didn’t expect it to be like this. However, since you’ve said so, I truly have nothing to refute, so let’s leave it at that for now.”

Jiang Lan didn't know what Wang Wenshan was plotting over there; he was just Cultivating normally.

At first, he indeed felt his physical strength dissipating, but fortunately, with the enhancement of other Magical Artifacts...

His abilities had improved considerably.

Meanwhile, many people came to this small town, all to participate in the trial.

Then, they would wait for a suitable opportunity to enter the Secret Realm.

After all, as long as one entered, there was a supreme opportunity, and perhaps no one wanted to miss such a perfect chance.

“Although I’ve heard a lot, I heard that the person named Jiang Lan seems to have also come.”

“Everyone, be careful. If he appears in this grand competition, then you might only end up dead.”

This Disciple had gathered a lot of inside information.

But others, hearing this, would all scoff. What kind of Dao was prevalent now?

With demons in power, who cared about these things? Those who could survive were lucky; if they died...

It could only be said that their luck was bad, and who didn't have some ability to protect themselves if they dared to wander out?

“Since it’s Jiang Lan, he should find a place to hide and not expose himself in front of us.”

“Besides, at this point, is it even necessary to say these things here?”

“Exactly, what time is it now?”

Perhaps it was because he had thought more seriously before.

Coupled with various reasons, this reaction indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

Jiang Lan had no reaction to their discussion.

To him, as long as they didn't personally dance in front of him...

He wouldn't act. After all, for him, if he really fought with them...

That would be a complete waste of his lifespan.

He wouldn't do such a foolish thing, but those few people seemed a bit restless.

“I heard Jiang Lan is there. Why don’t we go teach him a lesson? I heard he’s already obtained the token to enter.”

After saying that, the few people exchanged glances and ran over.
