Female supporting roles are not cannon fodder

Chapter 62

60
After returning to Tumi Peak, the first thing Lin Lan did was to go to the Consulate Hall to register for retreat. After much deliberation, she found that only this excuse was suitable for her current situation.

Even if Ouyang Mu was with her when she went out, Mo Xiao had already lost her face. Lin Lan didn't dare to take the risk to go out, and she couldn't think of excuses to decline Ouyang Mu's invitation every time.

Furthermore, with Fusu around, Lin Lan really felt a lot from this trial, and she wanted to retreat as soon as possible to give herself a buffer time.

It's just that it's not immediately possible to retreat. Lin Lan went to the library first, borrowed a few books about vanilla making incense, and then went to the herb garden to get vanilla seeds, planning to find some time to plant them.

She found that besides the palace, there were many exotic plants planted in Fusu's jade ball. She unceremoniously occupied one of the blank spaces, trying to lower the style of the whole palace, and planted something ordinary.

When she was thinking about the open space outside, she casually said to Fusu that he would not allow her to touch the flowers and plants outside, saying that every plant here is more precious than her.

Well, Lin Lan admits that this is a fact. Don't underestimate any grass in the jade ball. They have lived for thousands of years. It is conceivable that they are all the ancestors of Lin Lan's ancestors. Lin Lan expressed respect and kept them at a distance.

After convincing Ouyang Mu, he rang Ruling by the way, and then he had to go to Chu Chun's to report.

Lin Lan hadn't reached the bamboo forest when she heard the commotion over there, and she didn't know what they were talking about.

Given Ming Yan's and Chu Chun's temperaments, they are not the kind of people who would make a scene, so who would be there.

When Lin Lan approached, she heard enthusiastic cheers, and an old urchin galloped towards her, opening his arms as if to hug her, so scared that Lin Lan quickly backed away until he backed up to touch a Lin Lan knew that Ming Yan was behind him without even turning his head.

"Old Kang, that's enough, stop playing." Ming Yan frowned slightly and looked at the old urchin with a sense of helplessness.

Ming Yan's words were obviously very authoritative, and immediately Mr. Kang withdrew his hand tremblingly, his face was full of grievance and disappointment, as if he was accusing Ming Yan of bullying him.

Lin Lan eased her mood, looked at the other party, and then remembered who this old naughty boy was. The other party had appeared before the bee incident, and he was still like this at that time. He was reprimanded by Ming Yan, pitiful for an old man, always It was said by Ming Yan.

"I remember you, and I have to thank you for helping to investigate the bees." Seeing the other party's appearance, Lin Lan still couldn't help reaching out his hand, wanting to shake hands with the other party.

If it weren't for Ming Yan and Mr. Kang, she might not have been able to escape the responsibility for the bee incident. After all, the area she was in charge of was the most serious.

Ming Yan didn't expect Lin Lan to take the initiative to talk to the other party, but he didn't stop him, but his expression was a little helpless.

Compared with Ming Yan, Mr. Kang obviously became excited immediately, but although he is playful, he also knows how to measure. He shook hands with Lin Lan lightly, with a look on his face that you are my bosom friend, as if he wanted to pull Lin Lan away. In the past, his camp was going to fight against the great demon Mingyan together.

When Lin Lan saw Mr. Kang's appearance, he immediately laughed. Compared with those two old-fashioned, this old man is obviously much more lively. Still entertaining myself under the radiation.

"Okay, come here, I heard that Xiaoqian World collapsed, what's the matter? Nothing happened, right?" Ming Yan pulled Lin Lan to the seat and handed her a cup of tea directly.

Now there is wine on the table besides tea, Ming Yan really dare not give the wine to Lin Lan.

"Well, I was shaking there in a daze, and when I felt something was wrong, I crushed the teleportation talisman." Lin Lan took it over in a daze, she dared not lie.

Ming Yan was not surprised when he heard Lin Lan's words. Instead, he stroked her hair and said, "Are you frightened? I heard that you are number one in points. Have you thought about what to exchange for it?"

Ming Yan's news has always been very well-informed, Lin Lan is deeply touched by this, and it's not surprising that he gets along with others easily because of his temperament.

"Well, I saw those fungi by accident, only to realize that I read them in a book before, and I brought them out because I thought they were valuable. I didn't expect the points to be so high." To be precise, Lin Lan knew those things The points will be very high, after all, something that Fusu can look up to, just knowing it and encountering it are two different things.

"However, I haven't thought about what to redeem. It's better to wait until I participate in other accumulated points to redeem." This is partly because of the reason, but more because Lin Lan doesn't know what to redeem, and she has to look at it Almost everything that can be exchanged there is good for her, but she doesn't think it is very suitable for her.

Apart from Xiangzong's affairs, Lin Lan still needs time to quietly improve his cultivation, rather than through external things.

Ming Yan obviously knew about it beforehand, and nodded understandingly, "That's fine, go out with me to do missions some other day, some mission points are very good."

There are several types of task rewards in the Consulate Hall. Earning spirit stones and contributions are the most. As for points, they are less. Contributions are accumulated from small daily things, while points are accumulated from large-scale events such as trials, so points are more precious than contributions , and the exchanged things are much better.

Precious, the difficulty of natural tasks is also great, and those tasks are not what Lin Lan can handle now, so Ming Yan will ask to help.

Faced with Ming Yan's kindness, Lin Lan did not refuse, but instead remembered that he needed Ming Yan's help.

"Can you check someone for me?" Lin Lan's expression was hesitant, but he still spoke.

She still made up her mind to investigate Mo Xiao, at least let Ming Yan discover something through investigating him, so as to get rid of Lin Lan's crisis.

Lin Lan didn't know what reaction this action would cause. Even if Mo Xiao was found out and defeated, and Dai Ran escaped because of this, Lin Lan's sense of threat did not diminish, but she felt that Mo Xiao was not so easy Being defeated, on the contrary, Lin Lan thought that his strength would increase greatly.

She just wanted to use Ming Yan's investigation of this matter as an excuse to make Ming Yan pay more attention to Mo Xiao, so that when Lin Lan might meet Mo Xiao in the future, Ming Yan could show up to make a rescue.

This was the first time Lin Lan offered to help, Ming Yan couldn't help but get serious, even seeing the hesitant look on Lin Lan's face, he wanted to investigate more carefully.

"Who?" I don't know whether it's at the outer door or the inner door. As far as Ming Yan knows, Lin Lan is active in such a narrow circle. There are few people he can think of. He really can't think of anyone else.

"Mo Xiao, a member of the Fazong during the Foundation Establishment Period." Lin Lan only knew this.

"It has something to do with you?" Or is it because the other party destroyed Xiaoqian World? Ming Yan can only think of these two possibilities. If it is the latter, then he will not investigate this matter in private. After all, it is related to The whole sect thing.

However, Ming Yan was disgusted with Fazong's people at first, which was really tricky. He had always had a bad impression of Fazong's people.

Ming Yan really hit the point. Lin Lan pursed her lips and hesitated for a while, "It's about me. I met him a few times. He threatened me to do something, but I didn't respond. This time I even got to the trial."

Lin Lan didn't want to directly say what was going on. Rather than talking about it, she would rather see how far Ming Yan could investigate, and it was hard for her to talk about that kind of thing.

Just looking at Lin Lan's expression, Ming Yan guessed something, his face darkened immediately, and he nodded: "I see, I will check."

"I will be in retreat for a while, and I just finished the trial, and I want to calm down and practice for a while." Lin Lan suddenly remembered that he didn't talk about the business, and hurriedly said.

But obviously the timing of what she said was very ingenious, Ming Yan immediately thought that something must have happened to Lin Lan during the trial, and now he probably wanted to hide from Mo Xiao.

He thought that the people who tried Fazong this time could enter the Xiaoqian world. If they wanted to threaten to do something, it would definitely be a good opportunity.

"Aren't you injured?" Ming Yan immediately pulled Lin Lan to stand up and looked. Although there was nothing on his face, his actions and those eyes definitely couldn't deceive anyone.

Elder Kang, who had been watching silently from the side, had a flash in his eyes, and his heart was a little bit down. He saw that Lin Lan and Ming Yan had been talking about business, and they didn't interrupt. Don't be bored.

"No, no, no." Lin Lan waved his hands quickly, even if there were any, they were cured by Fusu. After seeing that the scars on her body had been wiped off, Lin Lan decided to wait for Fusu to leave the customs. That ointment is really effective, if it is placed in the 21st century, it will definitely be sold out.

Ming Yan saw that Lin Lan was not injured, his face was rosy, and he felt relieved, "That's good, just tell me if there is any danger in the future."

Lin Lan smiled sweetly, only in front of Ming Yan could she be so relaxed and indulgent, Fusu was good, even though Fusu used voice control and Lin Lan didn't know about it, it was only because Lin Lan was not vigilant that Fusu succeeded , and the reason why Lin Lan was not vigilant about Fusu was also because of the blood contract. Fusu, who is so powerful, had to stay by her side, so there was no need for Fusu to lie to her.

It's just that for Fusu, she has never been able to completely reciprocate and not think about how to repay his kindness. She knows that every time she troubles Fusu now, she will have to devote herself to finding his soul in the future. It is cooperation and a community of interests, but when it comes to multiple relatives, there is really no such thing.

After the two chatted for a few words, Lin Lan decided to leave.

"Since the teacher is not here, I will leave first. Senior brother, remember to tell the teacher." Lin Lan wanted to leave immediately.

Seeing Mr. Kang sitting next to him without opening his mouth or leaving, he knew that Ming Yan and him might still have something to discuss.

Ming Yan didn't hold back any more, nodded, and didn't take any formal gifts to see off the guests. He just sat there and watched Lin Lan go back. He expected that this was still Tumi Peak.

When Lin Lan completely left and couldn't hear them talking, Mr. Kang who was sitting beside him didn't have the demeanor of the old urchin at all. Instead, he stood up with a serious look on his face, not daring to sit casually like just now.

"Master, this Miss Lin is really very clear." Elder Kang has seen many people in his life, so how could he not know the reason why Lin Lan left in such a hurry? Although he was not here usually, he also knew that Lin Lan was never You're welcome to stay here for half a day, and the two masters really treat her like a friend.

Moreover, just looking at Lin Lan's generous offer to help, one can tell that she is an unreasonable person, not to mention that Lin Lan's every move just now showed his trust in Ming Yan.

"Naturally." Ming Yan picked up the flagon and drank without even raising his eyebrows, as if it was the most natural thing.

At the beginning, he valued Lin Lan simply because she was a kind-hearted person. Sometimes she had her own little thoughts, and would habitually restrain herself with the thoughts of the secular world. It's just that she is extremely exquisite, and she can see through a little bit.

His mind is also simple, he likes to be straightforward in life and work, and will not easily offend others. In Ming Yan's view, these are the best friends to be with. What's more, Lin Lan is more than just a friend to him. Friends are that simple.

Ming Yan's eyes were a little deeper, but he didn't look at Mr. Kang. Standing beside him, Mr. Kang naturally knew that his master might not know where he was thinking.

"Master, how about the business of Zhenbao Pavilion? Recently, a Linlang Palace was opened next door, but it lost a lot of business." When Mr. Kang thought of this, his heart seemed to be bleeding. A spirit stone like a pearl!
Ming Yan was pulled back by Mr. Kang's words, and when he heard the name, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Lin Lang Temple, I really thought that Lin Lang Palace was full of treasures, but this name... really is."

Ming Yan just shook his head vigorously after speaking, he didn't know what expression to show, helplessly, a name very similar to that girl turned out to be a shop opened by his opponent.

"Have you found out who the other party is?" Ming Yan shook his head a few times before thinking about the business.

Those who can open a shop there are not simple characters. Without a foundation, it is really unstable. Even Ming Yan, who has been in the market for a few years, can do it by relying on the contacts in his hands. This is due to other forces, not It's all about personal power.

The Daishan school has been established for a long time, the water is deep, and the meat is extremely fat, so many people are salivating, but they can only stay away.

Who on earth has the ability to establish it in a short period of time, and even gain a firm foothold to compete with him for business.

Ming Yan has always trusted Mr. Kang's ability, but this time he had to be disappointed.

Mr. Kang shook his head, and said with shame on his face: "I'm afraid it's not easy this time. The other party's head didn't even show his face. They are all working with some subordinates. As for the connection line, we can only find the Great Elder, nothing else. know."

"The Great Elder? That's really not a simple person." The person who can be the head of the elders in the Daishan Sect is naturally someone who is extremely trusted by the head, and the Great Elder is clean and honest, and there are not so many messy relationships. A granddaughter, the others are not too involved.

Moreover, he has always never made his own claims, and he never cared about those trivial matters, so that he has a high prestige in the sect, but this time the other party actually invited him to take action, I am afraid that there is an intention behind it.

Ming Yan pondered for a moment, and at some point quietly put down the flagon in his hand, "It's just a Daishan faction?"

The person who can establish a relationship with the head of the Daishan School is probably not a member of the Daishan School. In this place where the head is completely in power, no one can let the head give face to the other party.

Ming Yan obviously asked the right place, what did Mr. Kang think of, and a look of fear appeared on his face; "Of course not, on the contrary, the old slave found out that the master behind this is definitely not ordinary, not only the Daishan sect, but also other sects have Lin Lang The existence of the temple, and there is a steward to take care of it, there is no mistake, but no one knows the master behind it."

That master was able to get so many people to work for him without even showing his face, and he has never made a mistake so far. Ming Yan's face became more serious now.

"We don't care too much, remember to treat each other with courtesy in the future, everyone competes fairly and sees who has the best ability." Even if the other party's ability is enough to be afraid of, Ming Yan doesn't think that the other party will put down airs just to deal with a small person like him.

Moreover, to be able to call so many people to work hard, the rank must be extraordinary. The higher the rank, the less they care about the spirit stones that can be seen everywhere. If things can be bought with spirit stones, it is definitely not what they need. It's just that a person who doesn't covet Lingshi but starts a business, I'm afraid an organization is more appropriate.

In addition, no mistakes have been made so far. Compared with that organization, there must be absolute rules. Since this is the case, scholars are most afraid of encountering soldiers. As long as the opponent is not an unreasonable soldier, Ming Yan has a way to make a living from them .

"The old slave will supervise the people under him." Elder Kang also thought a lot, and he didn't dare to treat it carelessly. He just wanted to go back later, and he must beat his people well.

Ming Yan clapped his hands together, "In a few months, won't it be the time when the main peak will be opened. At that time, we will hold an auction, which will be enough to attract customers. During this time, in addition to making preparations, we can also engage in activities, such as how many spirits are consumed. Stone, you can get an invitation card or something."

He obviously thought of a great idea, Kang Lao became completely excited when he heard it, nodded repeatedly, wishing to do it now.

Having been with the other party for so long, Ming Yan doesn't know Elder Kang's temperament. Just when he was about to wave his hand to let the other party go, Ming Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Can I bring that token with me last time?"

From then to now, Ming Yan never saw Mr. Kang again, and it was inconvenient to hand over such an important token, so he kept procrastinating.

When Ming Yan mentioned this, Mr. Kang immediately rummaged through his clothes, and quickly handed the token to Ming Yan: "Master."

For such a hot thing, it's already out of bounds for him to use it once. If Ming Yan didn't need his cooperation, Mr. Kang really wouldn't dare to do that.

"Go, it seems that the bamboo forest can't let you raise your temper." Ming Yan never regarded Mr. Kang as an ordinary servant, and directly smiled and bowed to him so that the other party was not here.

If it wasn't for Mr. Kang's manners, Ming Yan wouldn't let him do this. He really treats Mr. Kang like a grandfather.

It's just that at the beginning, if the family didn't see that he was polite, he wouldn't have been sent to Ming Yan.
