World Dominating Empress Physician



Chapter 45: Banquet VI

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As outsiders were not allowed in the hall, the old madam naturally had to bring Bai Yan out.

Lan Xiaoyun ran to Bai Yan’s side and asked. “Hey, did you really cure my grandfather’s body? Previously I heard Daddy say that you had acknowledged a Tier 4 pill master as your master?”

“Yeah,” Bai Yan responded as the corner of her lips hooked into an arc.

Lan Xiaoyun’s eyes gleamed. “Then, can you teach me how to refine pills?”

Bai Yan turned her head to look at Lan Xiaoyun and after she saw her big, bright eyes, she subconsciously nodded. “I can teach you, but as to whether you are able to learn, that would depend on your own innate talent.”

With Bai Yan’s words, Lan Xiaoyun was so excited that she almost leaped up. Her heart started to be proud again.

‘So what if you, Bai Zhi, have an elder sister who is the crown princess consort?’ After she acknowledged Bai Yan as her master, she would have a Tier 4 pill master as her grandmaster. Her status would not be worse off than Bai Zhi’s.

However, it was a pity that Lan Xiaoyun did not have any innate talent in refining pills whatsoever. She was only suited for practicing. Therefore, after many failed attempts of refining pills, she could only lower her head in disappointment and failure.

However, Lan Xiaoyun shamelessly wanted to be Bai Yan’s disciple in name.

It was fine that she had no innate talent to refine pills, for it was fine as long as she had a Tier 4 pill master as her grandmaster in name. She would then be able to stand against Bai Zhi in terms of might.

This was Lan Xiaoyun’s true aim!

***

In the Lan family residence, within the banquet hall, the announcement “Crown Prince arrives” turned the noisy banquet hall silent.

Crown Prince?

Even he came?

This Bai Yan had almost become his fiancée after all. Yet, because she had lost her virginity before marriage, she was disdained by the royal clan and now that the Crown Prince had come, could it be that he was here to watch a joke?

Lan Yu frowned slightly as he asked in a low voice, “Who sent the invitation to the crown prince’s manor?”

The guard by his side carefully replied, “I have already instructed that they are not allowed to send an invitation to the crown prince’s manor. I reckon no one would dare to have sent it.”

If no one had sent an invitation, then why was he here?

Lan Yu’s expression was little ugly. He did not forget how great of a harm the royal clan had caused for Yan’er.

Everyone said that the crown princess consort had given birth prematurely, but her ‘premature birth’ was able to birth a healthy child. Perhaps only those foolish people would believe that.

This b*stardly couple had long had improper relations before Yan’er had left. Bai Ruo had long schemed to harm Yan’er for the sake of becoming the daughter-in-law of the royal clan.

It was precisely so that Lan Yu did not purposely invite the crown prince to join the dinner banquet. He was fearful that he could not bear it and strangle him to death!

“Lan family head, you wouldn’t blame me for coming without an invitation now would you?” Nangong Yi opened his fan as he said with a smile while walking toward Lan Yu. “I only heard that Old Master Lan’s sickness has been becoming more serious and had purposely taken the opportunity to visit. I wonder how long more Old Master Lan has left to live?”

Lan Yu clenched his fist tightly as a sneered hung on his lips. “My family’s old master is very well. There is no need to trouble Crown Prince to care! It is just that the purpose of Crown Prince’s arrival is too impure. Forgive me for being unable to serve you.”

The news of old master’s recovery was only known by the people of the Lan family at that point and it was not made known to outsiders. It was no wonder Nangong Yi thought that the old master was extremely sick in bed and had only a few days left to live.

Nangong Yi heard Lan Yu’s obvious eviction notice and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to open his mouth, another notice rang out from the door.

“Marquis Cang arrives.”

Marquis Cang?

Lan Yu and Nangong Yi’s expressions were both stunned.

This Marquis Cang had always been proud and aloof. He rarely interacted with those family clan forces. Even if the royal clan extended an invitation to a banquet, he would not necessarily attend.

That was why Lan Yu intentionally did not send an invitation to Marquis Cang’s manor.

Now, he turned up uninvited to Bai Yan’s welcoming banquet?

What did this mean?
