Chapter 473 Confused
Dongcheng Rushi blinked.
She did not feel that there was an illusion in front of her eyes. But the Li Tianlan in her sight gave her a strange feeling.
Li Tianlan, who was sitting quietly on the bed, was extremely quiet. It seemed to be a kind of peace from the inside to the outside, which had completely settled down all his emotions. It was not a calmness after experiencing strong winds and waves, but the purest silence.
He was as still as a rock, but it seemed very unreal at the same time.
In this state, Li Tianlan was like a shadow that would be blown away by the wind at any time, void and clear.
It seemed that he did not notice Dongcheng Rushi coming in at all. He was staring at the huge vase in the bedroom without blinking and kept silent.
His eyes were very focused.
But there seemed to be a vast expanse of fog in his eyes, vague and blurred.
Dongcheng Rushi suddenly felt that Li Tianlan was very terrible now.
She could not tell how terrible he was, but there was a kind of fear in her instinct that gradually took over her consciousness. It even covered up her surprise when she saw Li Tianlan wake up.
She hesitated for a moment, and then said in a very low voice, “Are you awake?”
Li Tianlan turned his head and glanced at her.
The mist in his eyes faded away, and he became extremely calm.
“How many days have I slept?” he asked.
“It’s the 10th day.”
Dongcheng Rushi gradually calmed down. She came over and sat next to him. She reached out and shook Li Tianlan’s hand.
Li Tianlan frowned slightly, but he did not ask about the situation outside. He just asked casually, “Did you stay here during these days?”
His bed was very big.
As soon as he woke up, Li Tianlan found that there was another position next to him. The fragrance surrounded the big bed, and it belonged to Dongcheng Rushi.
“Yeah, it’s convenient for me to take care of you.”
Dongcheng Rushi blushed and whispered, “Did I squeeze in next you when I was sleeping?”
Li Tianlan smiled, touched Dongcheng Rushi’s hair, and stood up.
“I’ll take a shower,” he said.
Dongcheng Rushi nodded and thought of the guests downstairs. “Mr. Qin is still downstairs.”
“Oh,” Li Tianlan said, “I’ll hurry up.”
He took a set of pajamas casually and walked to the bathroom. His steps were steady and calm.
Dongcheng Rushi looked at his back, and a bit of disbelief showed in her doubtful eyes.
At present, she might be the only one who knew Li Tianlan’s secret in the whole Dark World.
During the 10 days when he was unconscious, Dongcheng Rushi had never let anyone get close to Li Tianlan. To some extent, she also wanted to protect Li Tianlan’s secret.
There was a huge change in Wulan State in one day.
Li Tianlan’s injury was unimaginably serious.
But what was incredible was that the speed of his injury recovery was also unimaginably fast.
Almost every day or every moment, Li Tianlan’s injury was getting better and better while in the coma.
How much would Li Tianlan have to pay to kill two Invincible Realm experts in succession?
However, such a serious injury did not seem to affect his foundation at all. Any expert of the Half-step Invincible Realm would regard it as a fatal injury. But Li Tianlan had been improving at a speed that was enough to make people stunned. It was really a miracle.
Dongcheng Rushi thought about it for a while. She did not understand why this was the case. But she was still happy when she saw Li Tianlan’s injury getting better.
There was a sound of water in the bathroom.
Dongcheng Rushi stood up, took out a brand-new military uniform of Zhongzhou State from the wardrobe, and carefully put a military rank on it.
She put her military uniform on the bed and looked at it for a while. Then she nodded with satisfaction.
Eastern Europe was getting colder and colder.
In the cold weather, the cold water sprinkled on the body and brought a kind of coolness that almost soaked the body.
The sense of suppression after the first awakening of the dream was swept away by the cold water.
Li Tianlan closed his eyes and began to examine his injuries for the first time.
All the wounds had been healed, and even the scars began to fade. His seriously injured internal organs had almost recovered completely, and his exhausted physical strength had returned to the peak state. In general, the injuries on Li Tianlan’s body had almost been completely healed.
This was something that even he himself could not figure out.
If he could not figure it out, he could only attribute it to the dragon vein.
The ma.s.sive Qi gathered by the dragon vein in him was enough to erase all his injuries in the shortest time. Now Li Tianlan had returned to his peak state. But the only thing that entangled him was his Dual Wind and Thunder Veins.
They had two times the strength and speed of the ordinary Wind and Thunder Veins. Such a heaven-defying innate condition was really perfect. The Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were the foundation, and the perfect kendo combined with his strong will. In such a situation, once he entered the Invincible Realm, he would have the confidence to defeat most of the Invincible Realm experts on the Divine List without even stabilizing his realm.
But after the battle in Eastern Europe, his Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were half destroyed. Now he still had the Dual Wind and Thunder Veins. But after most of the injuries were almost healed, he could still feel that a vein in his body was still intermittent, as if it was lost.
Li Tianlan’s mood was a little complicated.
He clearly remembered the punch that he could not throw when he fought with Jiang Qiannian that day.
When strength, speed, Martial Arts, and willpower were all perfect, they were not concentrated, but scattered. He had no weakness in anything, but it became his biggest weakness.
This was bound to be a problem that would trouble him for a long time.
Nowadays, half of the Dual Wind and Thunder Veins had been destroyed. From a practical point of view, his strength and speed were no longer perfect. But in this state, Li Tianlan could be calmer and even be able to exert a slightly stronger combat capability than when he was in a perfect state.
This seemed to be a good thing.
But there are two sides to everything.
In the imperfect state, Li Tianlan would be stronger.
However, imperfection was not the limit.
Li Tianlan’s Martial Arts originally pursued the limit.
There had to be some problems for the limit.
Even if Li Tianlan could not solve these problems for the time being, how could he be willing to give up?
The most important thing was that under the situation that half of the Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were temporarily destroyed, Li Tianlan’s condition was not perfect. So there was no so-called limit state.
In fact, no one knew a thing.
At that time, in the face of Jiang Qiannian, who had been forced into a desperate situation, and the move of Living with Heaven and Earth, he, Fire Man, Cool Breeze, Drifting Cloud, and the Ying-Yang Phantom Sword Masters had fought against Jiang Qiannian together.
But if Fire Man and the others had not been there at that time and Li Tianlan had had no choice, Li Tianlan also had the confidence to kill Jiang Qiannian, who had risked his life to fight to the extreme.
As long as he had dared to pay the price.
The price he needed to pay was not his foundation, but a sword in his extreme state.
When fighting to the death, Li Tianlan could start with the Forever Silent World.
This was entirely due to the fact that the Forever Silent World was his way of starting in his kendo.
Originally, Li Tianlan had wanted to save the sword in this extreme state for last. But he did not expect that just in the beginning, his extreme state would completely disappear. At least before his Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were completely restored, this sword would not appear. It meant that he had lost his strongest card.
The cold water washed Li Tianlan’s body.
Li Tianlan’s expression was calm, but the waves and doubts in his heart did not stop for a moment.
When he came back to his mind, nearly an hour had pa.s.sed.
Li Tianlan was shocked. Suddenly, he remembered Dongcheng Rushi’s words, saying that Qin Xilai was still waiting downstairs. He shook his head, wiped his body as fast as he could, and walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.
Dongcheng Rushi was still lying on the bed. But instead of sitting down, she had already fallen asleep.
Her body was curled up gently, and she was wearing clothes. Her breathing was steady. She was not prepared for others at all.
Li Tianlan walked over and quietly picked up the military uniform she had prepared for him.
Dongcheng Rushi’s body moved.
“You go to sleep first. I’ll go down and have a look.”
Li Tianlan touched her face. Her face was very white and tender, but it looked a little haggard.
Li Tianlan quietly looked at her for a while.
He had been in a coma for 10 days.
During these 10 days, he did not know how long the woman in front of him had rested. If she had had a good rest, how could she sleep so deeply under her mental relaxation?
Dongcheng Rushi unconsciously rubbed Li Tianlan’s palm with her face then turned over.
Li Tianlan covered her with a quilt and put on the military uniform that symbolized power, whether in Zhongzhou State or in Wulan State. Then he walked out slowly.
There was the sound of a soft chat downstairs, as if someone was whispering. Besides, the voice was very low.
Li Tianlan could only hear some words about Elder Sister, Brother-in-law, and the Qin Clan.
He tidied up the b.u.t.tons on his sleeves, walked down the stairs, and said with a chuckle, “Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Qin.”
Qin Xilai, who was thinking about something, subconsciously shook his head. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, so he stood up all of a sudden.
Li Tianlan waved his hand casually and said with a smile, “You don’t have to be so polite, sir. Please take a seat.”
“You…”
Qin Xilai took a deep breath and stared at Li Tianlan with undisguised shock.
There were more and more rumors about Li Tianlan’s injury in the public.
To be honest, Qin Xilai naturally did not believe the rumor that Li Tianlan’s foundation had been destroyed.
But for Li Tianlan’s injury, Qin Xilai was not optimistic. He knew very well how much difficulty Li Tianlan had been in that day. With such an injury, it would take Qin Xilai at least three months to recover a certain combat capability. If he wanted to really recover, it would take at least half a year.
But how much time had pa.s.sed?
Not only did Li Tianlan wake up, but also he had a faint feeling of returning to the peak of his spirits.
The injury was close to healing, but it was not yet cured.
So Li Tianlan could not control his own aura very well.
But it was precisely because of the sword intent, which he exposed intentionally or unintentionally, that Qin Xilai was able to confirm the extent of his recovery.
Perhaps Li Tianlan’s injury had not recovered yet. But it seemed to have no specific difference from the true recovery.
How could it be possible?!
“Your Highness, your injury…”
Qin Xilai was so excited that he could not say too much for a moment.
“I’m fine now. I’m much more comfortable after taking a nap,” Li Tianlan said softly.
The dragon vein was the vitality.
He alone bore the vitality of a country, and the two complemented each other. As long as Li Tianlan did not suffer an injury that could kill him instantly, no matter how serious his injury was in the future, his recovery speed would not be too slow.
“This…”
Qin Xilai took a deep breath and suddenly shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I remember the rumors from the outside world. Recently, people outside have been saying, Your Highness, that you are seriously injured and even had your foundation destroyed. If Your Highness goes out now, I really don’t know what expression will appear on the faces of those who spread the rumors.”
“Destroyed foundation…” Li Tianlan repeated and shook his head subconsciously.
Only those who had the potential to be invincible had the right to talk about one’s foundation.
Anyone who could enter the Invincible Realm could be regarded as a genius. How could a genius’s Martial Arts foundation be easily destroyed?
Li Tianlan had only heard of two people in the Invincible Realm who had their foundation destroyed.
One was the hostess of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, Summer Solstice.
Summer Solstice had broken through and entered the Invincible Realm. Although her combat capability had directly soared to the Peak of the Invincible Realm, her realm had not been stable. Li Kuangtu had been no worse than Summer Solstice. He had held the murderous weapon, Infinite Sky, and had used all his strength to cause this result.
He had been at the Peak of the Invincible Realm.
Infinite Sky had also exerted its greatest power, which was equivalent to the two experts at the Peak of the Invincible Realm attacking at the same time. So he could have barely disabled Summer Solstice.
As a result, Li Kuangtu had also been seriously injured, not to mention the collapsed Infinite Sky.
He had just dealt with Summer Solstice, whose realm was unstable at that time.
It was a completely different concept between defeating an Invincible Realm expert and destroying an Invincible Realm expert.
As for the second one, of course, it was his grandfather, Li Honghe.
This was what had happened just now.
But Li Honghe was already over 80 years old this year. His foundation had already been loose. It was normal for him to have fallen from the Invincible Realm by taking w.a.n.g Tianzong’s Break of Reincarnation. Even without that sword strike, Li Honghe’s strength could not have been in the Invincible Realm all the time.
The foundation meant everything to martial artists. It was absolutely difficult to destroy a martial artist’s foundation.
When it came to Li Tianlan, his current Martial Arts had been perfect, and his foundation was as stable as a mountain. In this case, unless he was dead, his foundation could not be threatened at all. No matter how serious his injury was, it was impossible to hurt his foundation.
“It’s ridiculous.”
Li Tianlan shook his head and suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Sir, did you just say that this is a rumor?”
“Yes.”
Qin Xilai nodded.
“Where did the rumors come from?”
The temperature in Li Tianlan’s eyes seemed to gradually disappear.
“Who knows? Every force may spread this kind of rumor. They also have such a motive,” Qin Xilai said.
Li Tianlan nodded.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed. “It seems that Recchi City has been very busy recently.”
Qin Weiyun had been watching Li Tianlan curiously.
This was the youngest legend in the Dark World. The future king looked neither tall nor handsome, but every move of his had an indescribable charm. It was a combination of power, force, status, and the halo of the Chosen One, which was hard to describe.
Qin Weiyun was thinking about how she would describe him after she went back. Then she heard Li Tianlan’s words.
“It seems that Recchi City has been very busy recently…”
This sentence was very light.
Li Tianlan’s smile was also very calm.
But in an instant, Qin Weiyun suddenly felt an unprecedented coldness.
A kind of vague killing intent seemed to be filled between heaven and earth in an instant. It was illusory and void, but it did exist.
Qin Weiyun felt her scalp get a little numb. She was about to speak, but at this time, she could not help calling him Sixth Uncle.
Her voice was very low.
However, Qin Xilai suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile, “Your Highness, I forgot to introduce her to you. This is my little niece.”
The looming killing intent suddenly disappeared.
Li Tianlan glanced at Qin Weiyun and nodded. Then, he said blandly, “Nice to meet you.”
Qin Weiyun forced a smile and said softly, “Your Highness, I’m Qin Weiyun.”
She wanted to call him “Brother-in-law” to make a joke. But at this moment, she did not have the courage.
“Hmm?”
Li Tianlan suddenly made a sound. He looked at Qin Weiyun and then at Qin Xilai.
He slowly relaxed his body and leaned against the sofa.
“Boss Qin is Weiyun’s elder sister.”
Qin Xilai explained with a smile, “This name is just a coincidence. In fact, Boss Qin has no blood relationship with the Qin Clan. She is a cooperation partner of the Qin Clan. Well, this is also because of such a little girl, Weiyun.”
Li Tianlan felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what it was.
He nodded subconsciously and suddenly said with a smile, “How did you meet Little Bai?”
Qin Weiyun’s face was still a little pale, but she subconsciously wanted to say a few more words to this brother-in-law. When she heard this, she did not think too much. She whispered, “A few years ago, I met her when I was traveling in England.”
“Go on.”
Li Tianlan smiled.
Qin Weiyun seemed to have gradually regained her composure. She smiled and said, “It’s nothing. At that time, there was an opponent of my family in England who was very difficult to deal with. She was a famous devil in Europe. She heard that I was from the Qin family and wanted to kill me. Then, my sister sent someone to kill her. In the end, Qin Weibai recognized me as her younger sister, and…”
Qin Weiyun’s voice suddenly paused.
She seemed to realize that she had said something that she shouldn’t have said. Her face instantly turned pale and she shut up in a panic. Then she did not want to say a word anymore.
When KingTong hurriedly pushed open w.a.n.g Tianzong’s door and broke in, w.a.n.g Tianzong was having a video chat with Summer Solstice.
Summer Solstice’s figure appeared on the large screen. She looked at KingTong, as if she was really condescending.
KingTong did not like Summer Solstice very much.
Summer Solstice did not like KingTong very much, either.
So seeing this scene, KingTong changed her expression. She snorted and subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave. However, just as she turned around, she stopped where she was.
w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at her in surprise.
Summer Solstice was even more surprised.
Her glance stopped on the file in KingTong’s hand. Then she smiled calmly and said, “You can talk first. I’ll hang up.”
The screen went black.
Summer Solstice’s figure disappeared on the screen.
KingTong did not look very good, but she was forcing herself to restrain herself.
“An emergency?” w.a.n.g Tianzong asked.
He knew very well about KingTong’s character. According to her character, if she was not really in a hurry, she would definitely turn around and leave when she saw Summer Solstice. Now she was standing where she was. This kind of compromise was not easy. It also meant that it was extremely urgent.
KingTong took a deep breath. She thought of the news she had just received and suddenly changed her expression. “You should take a look at this.”
She handed the doc.u.ment in her hand to w.a.n.g Tianzong.
w.a.n.g Tianzong took the folder in his hand and opened it to have a look.
There was a family’s information in it.
“The Tylo family?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at KingTong. He felt that this family was a little unfamiliar, but also a little familiar. After thinking about it, he said uncertainly, “The Tylo family of Fog City?”
KingTong nodded solemnly.
w.a.n.g Tianzong was a little confused, but he did not ask more. In his impression, the Tylo family was barely a second-rate wealthy family in Europe. They were not weak in England. But England was the most solid base camp of Rothschild. The w.a.n.g family of Beihai had a very close relationship with Rothschild. So w.a.n.g Tianzong naturally did not pay attention to the Tylo family in daily life.
But this family…
The more he thought about it, the more familiar it became to him.
The information showed the data of some important members of the Tylo family in recent years.
w.a.n.g Tianzong frowned and suddenly said, “This family… I seem to have heard of it somewhere in the past few years.”
“No, I’ve only heard it from Xuan Ming recently.”
“Haven’t you thought of it yet?”
KingTong’s voice was a little hollow. “Some time ago, you asked Xuan Ming to investigate Qin Weibai.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s palm froze slightly. He raised his head and looked at KingTong.
He finally remembered where he had heard of the Tylo family.
When Qin Weibai appeared in the eyes of the Dark World for the first time, it was the year of the Tylo family’s group gathering!
w.a.n.g Tianzong frowned tightly.
“I just got this information, too.”
KingTong barely suppressed the constant ups and downs in her mind. “And I have confirmed that if there is no mistake, there is a 90% possibility that the Tylo family is an important part of the Samsara Palace.”
“What does this mean?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong simply put down the doc.u.ment in his hand.
“Do you still remember who the Master of Samsara Palace killed in England a few years ago?” KingTong asked.
“Witch,” w.a.n.g Tianzong said a name.
“Yes, Witch, the famous devil of the Half-step Invincible Realm in Europe in recent years. There was a deep conflict between her and the Qin Clan. So she fled from Eastern Europe to Western Europe.”
KingTong said slowly, “Witch had her eyes on an Asian girl a few years ago. The Master of Samsara Palace happened to meet her and killed Witch. She also recognized the girl she saved as her sworn sister.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded and said yes.
“From then on, Qin Weibai came into our sight. We have been investigating the relationship between Qin Weibai and the Qin Clan. We have come to the conclusion that Qin Weibai has nothing to do with the Qin Clan,” KingTong continued to say.
“Don’t tell me it’s not right?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong frowned.
“That’s right, but that’s not right!”
KingTong suddenly became excited. “Because the sworn sister saved by the Master of Samsara Palace was not Qin Weibai at all! It’s just that the group gathering of the Tylo family didn’t have much influence. Moreover, the Tylo Group deliberately blurred their vision. So the girl became Qin Weibai.”
She pointed to the information beside w.a.n.g Tianzong. “At that time, Witch didn’t target Qin Weibai. The girl she targeted was named Qin Weiyun. She is a member of the Qin Clan in Eastern Europe. Half of the information is evidence!”
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“Really?”
The essence, qi, and spirit of his whole body seemed to be condensed in an instant.
KingTong looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong with complicated eyes. She nodded and said, “This is a mistake of Rothschild. It was not until today that we finally know the truth. The most ridiculous thing is that we know the truth because of an external doc.u.ment.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong was silent for a long time.
The sound of rain in the outside world swept across the whole city.
The whole city was filled with ice and coldness.
w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at the information in front of him and was lost in thought.
The first time Qin Weibai had appeared in the Dark World, she had been in England.
In order to save her, the Master of Samsara Palace had killed the European demon, Witch.
Then she had recognized Qin Weibai as her sworn sister.
Later, Qin Weibai had become the second-in-command who could represent the will of the Samsara Palace. She was only inferior to the Palace Master.
This was the consensus of the Dark World.
But now, this consensus was completely overturned.
All the information about Qin Weibai seemed to have been messed up that night.
The Master of Samsara Palace had not saved Qin Weibai that year.
The person she had saved was Qin Weiyun.
Then…
Where did Qin Weibai come from?
