Baili Hongzhuang was also a shrewd person, and even though Lan Jingkuang concealed it well, she still sensed the scent of conspiracy.
Whether it was a conspiracy or a scheme, as long as it was directed at her, she would meet it head-on!
"Judging from the expressions of Lan Jingkuang and the others, they must have believed that Lan Qingyan had already broken through to the Purple Realm. So our appearance caught them off guard," Emperor Beichen said with a hint of playfulness and wickedness in his jet-black eyes, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He vividly remembered the unchanged expressions on the faces of the Lan family members when they came out.
"No wonder Lan Qingyan is hiding in the Ice and Snow Divine Pool and refuses to come out. If she saw the scene just now, she would be extremely embarrassed," Baili Hongzhuang said.
Mo Yunjue shook his head. Some things had to be faced sooner or later, and it was useless for Lan Qingyan to hide inside.
"However, with Lan Qingyan's talent, coupled with the Seven-Colored Divine Bead and the family's secret technique, it should be enough for her to break through to the Purple Realm," Baili Hongzhuang pondered aloud. Based on the expressions she had observed from Lan Jingkuang earlier, she could tell that he was also convinced that Lan Qingyan would definitely be able to break through.
Thinking about it, even if she hadn't broken through yet, she was not far from it.
"Whether it's Lan Qingyan or you, breaking through to the Purple Realm is only a matter of time," Emperor Beichen smiled at Baili Hongzhuang. Although many people were stuck at the ninth stage of the Blue Realm and unable to break through, Baili Hongzhuang and Lan Qingyan's talents guaranteed that they wouldn't have any problems.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "The power of the Ice and Snow Divine Pool is indeed formidable. Although I still have some distance to go before breaking through, I'm not far from it. I believe Lan Qingyan is even closer to her breakthrough. It's just that the closer she gets to the end, the more unstable her mentality becomes, which is why she has been unable to break through."
Baili Hongzhuang was clear about this point.
After all, it took her several days to break through from the eighth stage to the ninth stage of the Blue Realm. Lan Qingyan had more time than her, and the elemental energy absorbed at the ninth stage of the Blue Realm was stronger than what she had absorbed.
...
After Baili Hongzhuang and her group left, Lan Jingkuang silently entered the Ice and Snow Divine Pool.
Seeing this, Lan Kaicheng and Lan Yongtai followed closely behind, while the other elders chose to stay outside.
When Lan Jingkuang arrived at the Ice and Snow Divine Pool, he saw Lan Qingyan with her eyes tightly closed, still staying in the water, while the four Lan family disciples stood beside her, unsure of what to do.
Upon seeing Lan Jingkuang's arrival, the four disciples quickly lowered their heads and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Elder Jingkuang, Second Elder, Third Elder."
Lan Jingkuang glanced at the four of them indifferently, ignoring their presence, and his gaze fell on Lan Qingyan.
Obviously, Lan Qingyan had not broken through to the Purple Realm.
At the thought of this, Lan Jingkuang couldn't control the anger inside him. This time, Lan Qingyan had completely ruined his reputation!
"Do you know what it means for you not to have broken through?" Lan Jingkuang roared.
The fierce and intimidating roar made the four disciples tremble, and Lan Qingyan, who was in the water, was no exception.
She was afraid, afraid to face this Lan Jingkuang.
If she were to receive another resounding slap, it would be unbearable for her.
"Do you know what it means for you not to have broken through?" Lan Jingkuang's anger hadn't subsided. He had been planning for so long, time and time again, only to be defeated by Lan Qingyan!
With two proposals, if Lan Qingyan couldn't even claim the position of the clan leader, her reputation would continue to decline, and her chances would become smaller and smaller!
