Chapter 383 Xue Lan, where is the craftsmanship you've been looking for?
Xue Lan and her inner demons are sworn enemies.
Or perhaps they are destined to coexist within a broken human body, sworn enemies.
The inner demon could tolerate Xue Lan's scheming against her, and could tolerate Xue Lan's desire to deal with her.
However, she couldn't stand Xue Lan speaking to her in that sickeningly sweet tone.
Xue Lan listened quietly to the inner demon's grumbling and cursing in her sea of consciousness. It contained words that Xue Lan had never heard before.
Xue Lan speculated that it was something her inner demon had secretly learned after being scolded by Xue Tong for so long.
The woman endured the commotion within her mind while dealing with Yin Yue.
Actually, it wasn't really a matter of just going through the motions. The woman gave Yin Yue a slight bow:
"Senior Gu Master, Xue Lan has had a long journey and has just been separated from her two little spirit beasts that she has raised for many years. She is heartbroken and wants to go back to rest."
The fatigue from the journey was fake; I was a little heartbroken, but not much.
He told Yin Yue in a single sentence that was two parts truth and eight parts falsehood.
My master and senior master are not here right now, so I am not afraid of you.
Standing a little distance away from the three of them, Xue Tong heard these words spoken without any attempt to hide them from her and let out a soft "tsk" in the darkness, her tone full of sarcasm.
"You've gotten involved with someone, daring to speak to the Gu Master like that."
Xue Lan didn't take it to heart: "I'm naturally disliked by this aunt. She tried to use me to coerce Shishi from the very beginning, and later she even chased after me, a helpless little girl, with that two-headed snake."
The woman's voice was full of resentment. Her tone was firm and resolute.
"Their birth charts clash, making harmony impossible."
Xue Tong was already used to Xue Lan's nonsensical ramblings, automatically skipping over the incoherent accusations and getting straight to the point:
"You want to go back to sleep now, right? Do you need any help?"
Xue Lan thought to herself that Xue Tong was really too shrewd, and she felt a little reluctant to send him back later.
The woman didn't ask Xue Tong to come and help; instead, she turned to face Yin Shishi.
"I want to sleep."
Yin Shishi was already used to this person's deception, and waved her hand dismissively at Xue Lan:
"Go to sleep and have sweet dreams."
Only after Xue Lan and the others disappeared into the dark night did Yin Shishi look at her mother.
Seeing her daughter's inquisitive gaze, Yin Yue spoke softly:
"The wood elemental power within her is far too concentrated; there's only one place in the entire Siyao River with such a concentrated wood elemental power..."
"Shishi!"
Before Yin Yue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a resentful voice from the darkness.
Xue Lan stood in the darkness not far away. She carried a small box in her hand, and as she walked over, her gray-white eyes were fixed on Yin Yue.
“It’s a gift!”
Before Yin Shishi could react to what was happening, the woman shoved the small box into her hand.
Then she watched as Xue Lan stared at her mother, and slowly retreated back into the night.
She's sick, which made her laugh.
Yin Yue watched as the woman, like some kind of nocturnal bat, once again vanished into the darkness. She couldn't help but laugh.
The woman's voice carried a husky laugh, and also a touch of elder's loving kindness:
"Among all the disciples of your Xuanhuang Sect, is she the most fun to watch?"
Yin Shishi's shoulders trembled with laughter as she forced a nod.
"Actually, she also has a master, but he doesn't often return to the sect."
Yin Yue nodded slightly:
"We've all heard a little about her master's affairs."
Xue Lan maintained her resentful attack as she returned to Xue Tong's side:
"She was indeed talking badly about me."
Xue Tong struggled to suppress the smile on her face and spoke:
"Did you spy on her? Just like I instructed?"
Xue Lan nodded and gave Xue Tong a thumbs up:
"Yes, it's very effective."
Xue Tong couldn't help but laugh.
What a melancholy little bat that roams the night! It's hilarious!
Hearing Xue Tong's unusually unrestrained laughter, Xue Lan didn't bother to argue with her.
Then, seeing that Xue Lan wasn't angry, Lin Su and Lu Feng also laughed.
Xue Lan: It wasn't you guys...
After visiting Yandu, I've become much bolder?
Lin Su covered his mouth, barely maintaining the composure of a disciple of a major sect, and spoke:
"Senior Sister Xue, Lu Feng and I are also tired from our journey and are about to go back to sleep."
Xue Lan waved her hand:
"go Go."
Upon hearing this, Lin Su and Lu Feng vanished like two gusts of wind.
Xue Lan and Xue Tong returned to their room in Chong Gu Village. The room had been cleaned while they were away, and there was a bouquet of fresh flowers in a vase on the table.
Xue Tong plopped down in a chair and poured two glasses of water for herself and Xue Lan.
"Do you want to sleep?" the girl asked skillfully.
Xue Lan shook her head: "I plan to stay up all night."
The girl finished the water in her cup: "Is there anything I need to take care of? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Xue Lan nodded, not intending to hide it from Xue Tong, and told the girl that she had asked Zhu Qing for the willow branch.
"Perhaps I should ask you why you still remember Liu Shu..." Xue Tong's voice was filled with endless emotion:
"But then again, you even remember Xiao Shuang, so these things become simple and ordinary."
The girl's voice was gentle and delicate, as if she had grown up a lot in an instant, her exquisite eyebrows and eyes reflecting the candlelight. Two stars seemed to appear in her pupils:
"You have a good memory; you always remember everyone you meet."
Xue Lan smiled, her face appearing exceptionally gentle under the dim light.
Xue Tong looked into her eyes and couldn't help but speak:
"Xue Lan, have you found what you're looking for in your own experiences?"
Xue Lan was puzzled: "What is it?"
The girl stood up from the table and cast a cleansing spell on herself.
"For example, the obsession of inner demons."
"For example... the craftsmanship that Wan Gong Fang wants."
Xue Lan: "Are you pretending to be an adult like a child?"
Xue Tong's composure crumbled instantly as the girl released a transparent panel beside her.
"Am I pretending to be an adult?" The girl tapped her finger on the panel.
"You travel around for two reasons: first, to find your master, and second, to cultivate a craftsman's spirit."
"Now that we've found our master, what about craftsmanship?"
For the first time, Xue Lan felt somewhat uncomfortable with Xue Tong's current state.
"I still prefer you when you were a child. Can you come back to your childhood self?"
"Restore what? Restore the little pet in your sea of consciousness?"
Xue Tong shook his head skillfully:
"Don't even think about it."
The girl's expression held an unprecedented seriousness:
"Xue Lan, where is the craftsmanship you were looking for?"
