289: Being remembered

“He’s certainly very powerful, but it’s better to be low-key in the future. Don’t do this again.”

At first, Jiang Lan also thought there was no problem with this.

He even thought it was fine to let him take action.

“And don’t you even have a name?”

Jiang Lan’s words made Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong, who were nearby, also confused.

Although they had made all sorts of preparations, this guy’s situation truly exceeded expectations.

“I think I have a name, but I can’t remember what it is exactly. I should be able to… after this?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Are you sure you’re not joking?”

“You have a name, but you can’t remember what it is. Are you deliberately teasing me?”

Wang Wenshan, nearby, couldn’t help but tease, saying that perhaps he had been inside for too long.

He had completely forgotten that he should live outside and have thoughts about other things.

However, because of this incident, they also left an impression among these people.

“I said from the beginning that in this situation, there would definitely be nothing.”

“And it’s not like what those people thought. I even thought you had pretty much done it, so even if they said that, it wouldn’t matter.”

“Since you already know, I’ll just be direct.”

“This time, Jiang Lan and the others have come out of the Secret Realm, and their strength is definitely impressive. If you only want to be like before, I advise you to save your effort. Because it’s impossible to succeed.”

“This isn’t right, that’s not good. If everything is as you say, then wouldn’t everything go wrong later?”

“Indeed.”

“When we were to be punished, I wasn’t the only one. Why are you pushing this responsibility onto me now? I find it very strange.”

At first, he hadn’t thought so much.

He even thought that even in the current situation, he could handle it.

But the current situation truly surprised him.

“Since you already know, I won’t say any more nonsense. Anyway, that’s pretty much it.”

“If you want to punish Jiang Lan, relying on one person alone is definitely not going to work, and you know his abilities.”

In addition, the few people who came out here looked at each other. Although they were fully prepared,

Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong were still under a bit of pressure.

“Where are we going next? After all, you’ve helped us so much, and we can’t just ignore it. So if there’s anything we can do to help, just say the word.”

Xu Lindong also nodded, saying that they had indeed learned a lot in the Secret Realm this time, and it would be unreasonable if they didn’t do something.

Jiang Lan couldn’t help but smile wryly when he heard this.

“I was wondering what was wrong with you. So you already have a deep understanding of this matter. In that case, the rest shouldn’t be too difficult. But why are you two so insistent on following me now?”

He had originally thought that after coming out, they should go their separate ways and not bother each other.

But looking at them, it seemed they couldn’t quite do that.

“We really shouldn’t follow you, but this situation is different from before, and there’s no actual outcome.”

“So I think it might be better to change our approach. We can’t always be like what was said before, right?”

Jiang Lan looked at them with a slight smile.

“Then what is your true purpose? Is it just talk? I don’t think so.”

After hearing this, they quickly shook their heads.

“I know you might not believe us when we say this, but the fact is that this has already exceeded expectations.”

“We hope to be different from before, and what we’re thinking is that if it’s possible, then the rest will be pretty good.”

Jiang Lan no longer refused the two of them from following, but only told them that if they encountered any other situations,

Then it would be beyond what these two could anticipate.

To allow the two to follow Jiang Lan and gain experience, this was an extremely good thing for them.

As for the rest, they would talk about it when the time came.

“Since you already know, I won’t hide it.”

When Jiang Lan went to rest, Wang Wenshan approached Xu Lindong.

“We two were once great enemies, but now that we’re together, we somehow feel indifferent?”

At first, Xu Lindong hadn’t thought so much.

In his opinion, Wang Wenshan was insidious, cunning, and selfish.

And it was simply impossible for him to be similar to what they had seen before.

“Since you already know, there’s no point in saying these things now. Anyway, after all this time, I have my own plans.”

What he had thought at first was this:

If it didn’t work out, he would just make Jiang Lan not be with this guy, and then whatever he wanted to do later would naturally be fine.

But what he hadn’t expected was that this situation completely exceeded expectations and was different from what they had initially thought.

“I was wondering if you knew something else, but since you’re already well aware of this, then the rest probably isn’t important.”

Besides this, several other people also gathered around.

“Did you two go to the Ancient Secret Realm? What was the situation like inside? What happened?”

He wanted to know the situation inside.

But Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong were already in a bad mood, so how could they listen to him talking there?

“What happened when we went there, it seems we didn’t go in, and there’s no need to tell you. You don’t need to be curious.”

“This matter has nothing to do with you. If we really told you, wouldn’t you then do whatever you wanted?”

The expressions of several people were very bad. Jiang Lan took the white-haired young man into the room.

The white-haired young man directly told Jiang Lan that his name was Bai Ze.

He had also forgotten who taught him this name and how it was given.

Anyway, it was completely different from what was before, and not the same thing.

“Alright, since you already have a name, I won’t have to call you ‘branch’ anymore.”

“When was I a branch? But how can you help me improve my strength? If I don’t improve my strength, I can’t give you bodhi leaves.”

Jiang Lan sighed helplessly.

“This situation, well, it’s a bit urgent now, and you haven’t seen what’s happening outside.”

“It would be good if it could be easily resolved, but I don’t think these people are as simple as we imagine.”

Hearing these words, Bai Ze sighed.

“You humans are so troublesome. Sometimes there’s no need to do all this, yet you insist on thinking it’s normal.”

“What will happen later then? Do you still think it doesn’t matter?”

“If you say it that way, it makes sense. After all, not everything can be lumped together, and not everything is as we imagine.”
