Chapter 275 The eve of the decisive battle
Seeing that the person had left, Qi Ye turned back and asked, "Second Brother, how are Uncle Lan and Sect Leader Wen doing at the mass grave? When do they plan to come down the mountain? I'd like to go and arrange guest rooms and lodging in advance!"
Wei Ying smiled, his imposing demeanor vanishing: "Qi Ye, don't be in such a hurry. Father and Sect Leader Wen have no plans to go down the mountain yet. You don't need to make arrangements so early!"
Qi Ye's gentle smile froze: "What's so special about a place like the mass grave that they're so reluctant to leave? It's been a whole day and night, aren't they hungry, thirsty, or sleepy?!"
Wei Ying chuckled dryly, his mind flashing back to the images he had just received from the vengeful spirits he had deliberately left near the Demon-Subduing Cave. He thought to himself, "That's right! Not only is Sect Leader Wen thoroughly enjoying himself, but even my father, who is usually indifferent to worldly desires, and my gentle mother, who are both mild-mannered, don't seem to have any intention of ending the exploration and returning home early! I really don't know what's so interesting about these fierce corpses and vengeful spirits that are everywhere in the mountains!"
He harbored these thoughts in his heart, but dared not openly utter them; he simply chuckled and tried to gloss over the issue.
Seeing this, the quick-witted Qi Ye and Lan Zhan immediately guessed what kind of trouble the group still on the top of the mass grave had caused. Qi Ye, with a worried look on his face, asked in a low voice, "Second Brother, can't we really call them down sooner? Not to mention that we still need to discuss and follow up with them on many things, how are we going to explain this to Uncle Lan and Brother Lan who came back with us yesterday?"
Wei Ying's face went blank for a moment. Up until now, his mind had been focused on the meeting with 001 and the timely adjustment of the overall plan. He had no time to think about Lan Qiren and the other two who had returned with him. Now, after Qi Ye's reminder, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn't want to face Lan Qiren and Lan Huan at this moment, so he turned to Lan Zhan, who was standing next to him, and gave him a shy smile: "Lan Zhan~~"
Lan Zhan: "..."
However, he was unwilling to face his uncle and elder brother, who had a 99% chance of exploding in anger! Especially when he recalled how the two of them had been woken up in the middle of the night and how Qi Ye had tricked them back, and how he, Lan Zhan, their most beloved and trusted nephew/brother, not only did not stop Qi Ye's deception, but also watched it all happen. This behavior was simply piercing their lungs.
Most importantly, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan knew about the mass grave, the truth about the origin of the world, and the golden core tribulations of Wei Ying and Lan Zhan. The rest of the Wei family knew, Lan Wenjing knew, and even Lin Yingsu, who had long since left Cloud Recesses, knew a little about the inside story. Only Lan Qiren and Lan Huan were kept in the dark and knew nothing about it!
Now, they have been tricked by Lan Wenjing and others into leaving the mass grave, and the group has not returned for a long time.
With all these factors combined, even the aloof and indifferent Lan Zhan couldn't withstand the raging torrent of anger from the two of them, which was like an eruption of lava!
After a moment of deep thought, and seeing Wei Ying's pitiful, expectant puppy-dog eyes, Lan Zhan shook his head firmly: "I am powerless."
Wei Ying's ahoge (cowlick) drooped down mournfully, and every strand of hair on his body seemed to be bubbling with sorrowful gray bubbles.
Qingyan scratched his head in confusion: "Brother, can't you send a message to Uncle Lan and the others to hurry down the mountain? Didn't you leave them five communicators before we came back yesterday?"
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan: "..."
Qi Ye pinched his sore brow bone: "They also need to be willing to cooperate!"
Qingyan blinked his honest eyes, which were filled with a clear and transparent confusion. Qi Ye's heart skipped a beat, and the gentle smile on his face could no longer be maintained. He glared at Wei Ying in annoyance: "What you mean is that Uncle Lan and Sect Leader Wen are currently enjoying their time at the Demon Subduing Cave and are not willing to return now!"
"Huh?" Qingyan stared wide-eyed, his usual shrewdness and competence completely gone, replaced by sheer stupidity. "It can be like this? Before we went down the mountain yesterday, didn't Uncle Lan tell Uncle Lan that we would go ahead and they would follow? Why are they still unwilling to come back today?"
Qi Ye was too lazy to pay attention to the silly and cute Qing Yan. He secretly estimated the time and predicted that it would be Mao Shi (5-7 AM) soon. Lan Qi Ren, Lan Huan, and Wei Chao Yan would also wake up. They had to think of a suitable solution quickly, otherwise, they would all be turned into "beautiful and charming" cannon fodder under the anger of Lan Qi Ren and Lan Huan!
Wei Ying understood Qi Ye's gaze, grabbed his wrist, and calmly said, "Qi Ye, go to the morning market and buy some delicious breakfast. Also, go to the inn and book enough rooms for Father and the others, and make proper arrangements for their food and lodging!"
"As for Qingyan, you go to the kitchen and quickly boil enough hot water for your sister and the others to use when they wake up!"
"Lan Zhan, you go and guard Uncle and Elder Brother for now, buy them some time, at least until they finish breakfast! I'll go to the Burial Mound right now and do my best to persuade them to come down the mountain immediately! After all, time is of the essence, the time for the final battle is ripe, we need to make thorough preparations in advance, because we only have one chance to turn the tide!"
Seeing Wei Ying calmly and seriously arranging everything, those who were assigned tasks by him lost their playful mood and solemnly accepted their tasks, each leaving to fully cooperate in completing their work!
After the others left one after another, Wei Ying shook his somewhat tired head, put two fingers together and ignited some red star power. With fluid movements, he drew a talisman in the air. A profound and mysterious talisman was formed in an instant. The next moment, it suddenly shattered, and a majestic bronze door suddenly tore open the void and appeared.
Wei Ying stretched out his ape arm, and the door suddenly opened silently. In a flash, he entered the door and traveled dozens of miles through the portal, arriving at the original entrance of the Demon-Subduing Cave, where only a pool of blood remained.
Amidst the surprised gazes of the guards who remained, he politely inquired about the direction of Lan Wenjing and the others, and then resolutely strode towards that direction.
