Chapter 268 Solving the Situation 2
Upon hearing Lan Wenjing's firm and resolute denial, Wen Ruohan merely smiled coolly, without indicating whether he believed or disbelieved Lan Wenjing's denial.
He slowly raised his chin and said indifferently, "Didn't the three of us cooperate quite well before? It'll be the same this time. Anyway, whatever you want to do, you can't get around the Qishan Wen Clan!"
Nie Changfeng grinned heartily, his smile full of sincerity and trust: "Hey, Brother Wen Jing, don't look at me like that. My Nie Clan has always been on good terms with your Lan Clan, so I have no objections!"
Lin Yingsu smiled gently, her lips curving into a faint smile like a lily trembling in a warm breeze. Her tone was firm and unwavering: "Sect Leader Lan, the Lin Clan of Huaiyang are all in the same boat, and we all follow the lead of the Lan Clan!"
After agreeing on a unified narrative, Lan Wenjing nodded and added gently, "After this, the situation in the Xuanmen will definitely undergo a major change, with endless possibilities for reversal in the future. Therefore, we still need to strictly control every important juncture and must not let it slip out of our control!"
"Based on these demands, we should maintain smooth and timely communication at all times!"
“But this universal communication talisman can’t meet your requirements, Brother Wen Jing!” Nie Changfeng scratched the back of his head and said somewhat dejectedly.
A sincere and proud smile appeared in Lan Wenjing's eyes: "Brother Changfeng, don't be discouraged. The problem of communication tools, which was the most difficult to meet the standards here, has been overcome!"
"Huh? Solved? I've never heard of that..." Midway through his sentence, a sudden inspiration struck him, and Nie Changfeng's dark eyes lit up. He abruptly turned to Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, who were hiding to the side pretending to be invisible, "These two young talents solved it?!"
Although it is a question, the tone is an unchangeable affirmation.
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, who were called out again, had no choice but to stand up and bow. Then, Wei Ying slid his right hand out from his sleeve and revealed a gourd-shaped magic weapon about three fingers wide with a smooth, simple and elegant design and a silver-gray glass texture. He explained in a low voice: "This is a communication device that I developed. It can communicate without any obstacles regardless of the distance."
It is highly secretive; without one’s consent, no one else can know the content of the conversation, even if it is in front of outsiders.
It can store information and save images; it allows for one-on-one communication as well as group communication without interference.
To put it simply, it's a mobile phone with the basic functions of a modern mobile phone, but with a modified version!
"Most importantly, it can recognize its owner, and once bound, it cannot be dropped or exchanged. And most importantly, it only requires the essence of the rising sun in the sky to maintain its operation, without consuming spiritual power!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Ruohan's eyes, but she quickly dismissed it as nothing more than a hint of astonishment: "Very good! Now that the main issues have been resolved, Lan Wenjing and those Wei family lads, have you forgotten that there are still some things you need to give me and Nie Changfeng a proper explanation for?"
Lan Wenjing, Wei Ying, and Qi Ye were momentarily confused, unable to follow Wen Ruohan's train of thought.
Lan Zhan succinctly stated, "Through three channels, we will reveal to the various sects of the Xuanmen the inside story of our tribulation and the root cause of the difference in our cultivation methods!"
After Lan Zhan reminded them, the group remembered their original topic that they had strayed from.
Wei Ying tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then exchanged glances with Qi Ye and Lan Zhan for a short while before touching his nose, clapping his hands, and giving a timeframe: "Ten days from now! Lan Zhan and I will go back and cultivate in seclusion for ten days to carefully organize everything. After we emerge, we will hand over the detailed information to the sect leaders. As for when and how much to announce, that's up to you to decide based on the actual situation at the time. We juniors won't concern ourselves with that!"
"Alright!" Wei Ying clapped his hands again. "Seniors, the issues have been basically clarified. Is there anything else we need to discuss? If not, please forgive our rudeness, we must take our leave now!"
Lan Wenjing, Wen Ruohan, and Nie Changfeng shook their heads. Lin Yingsu replied gently and kindly, "Wuxian, Yuhuai, you must be tired. Go back and rest. Sect Leader Wen and Sect Leader Lan are both very magnanimous and won't hold this against you! Oh, Sect Leader Lan, don't you think your eldest son should also go down the mountain first? After all, he's still just a child!"
Lan Wenjing paused for a moment, then nodded calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader. Qiren, you should take Ahuan down the mountain with Miss Wei and Young Master Wei to stay and rest at the inn in Yiling Town."
"Brother, what about you and the other elders?" Lan Qiren asked in a low voice, his brows furrowed.
"Qiren, it's rare for us to come to the depths of this forbidden mass grave. Several elders, along with Sect Leader Wen and Brother Changfeng, will take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate and learn more about the specific situation inside the mass grave so that we can deal with it in the future," Lan Wenjing explained to Lan Qiren with a slightly serious tone.
Lan Qiren thought for a moment, realizing that his elder brother must have other considerations at the moment, but hadn't decided yet, which was why he hadn't told him. In that case, he would simply follow his brother's arrangements. After all, his brother was always reliable when it came to important matters!
Seeing that Lan Qiren agreed, Wei Ying reached into Lan Zhan's wide sleeve with his right hand and rummaged around for a while before finally pulling out several communication devices with different inscriptions. He took a few steps forward, opened his palm, and handed them to the group: "Sect Leader Lan, Sect Leader Wen, Sect Leader Nie, Sect Leader Lin, I have five blank communication devices here. You can have them. As for how to distribute them, please discuss it yourselves."
After saying that, he directly stuffed the five magical artifacts into Lan Wenjing's hand. Then, with a look of bewilderment on Lan Wenjing's face, he raised his hand to activate the teleportation gate, turned around, and dragged Lan Zhan's hand to bow in unison before stepping into the floating gate and leaving. Without him having to say anything, Wei Chaoyan pulled Qingyan and followed closely behind. Next came Lan Qiren, who was leading Lan Huan, and the black-faced elder who had gone ahead to the town to book a meal at an inn, following Nie Changfeng's instructions.
Seeing this, at the signal of Wen Zhibai and Lin Jing respectively, a shrewd and capable person from both the Wen and Lin factions stepped forward and entered the teleportation portal, leaving the mass grave!
