Chapter 282 Master
The patriarch of the Lan Family fell seriously ill, and it was uncertain when he might pass.
Upon hearing the news, the scattered collateral members of the Lan Family from all over the country rushed back.
It wasn't because they had much affection for the elderly patriarch of the Lan Family; they worried that if he suddenly died, they might benefit from the division of his estate upon returning in time.
The Lan Family was such a behemoth that its assets were far beyond what the average person could imagine.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoyao followed and went upstairs.
At this moment, a few people walked into a suite, and Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and knocked on the door several times.
Inside the room, several people were stacking up smiles, greeting the young man sitting on the sofa with respect.
"Big Brother Lan Tian, sorry to keep you waiting."
Lan Tian shook his head and smiled, "I also just arrived not long ago."
Lan Tian's eyes rolled around on the bodies of the two collateral girls of the Lan Family, his almost naked gaze making the cheeks of the two girls flush slightly.
Seeing Lan Tian's gaze, the two men beside them instantly understood and said, "Oh shoot, I left my phone downstairs, third brother, join me in getting it."
"Sure," the third brother didn't forget to turn back and say to the two girls, "Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, make sure you take good care of Big Brother Lan, and don't neglect him."
"Okay."
The two girls understood what their brother's words and that meaningful gaze meant.
They were merely collateral members of the Lan Family, while Lan Tian was a direct descendant.
If they could establish a connection with Lan Tian, whether the old patriarch died this time or not, they could officially enter the Lan Family's field of vision.
The two men left the bedroom, gently closing the bedroom door behind them, exchanged a glance, and whispered with a laugh, "If Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister can hook up with Lan Tian, our Lan Family in Xiangxi can also take this opportunity to prosper."
Of course, Lan Tian was not going to miss out on this delicacy delivered right to his door; he was very pleased with the two men's tactfulness.
Both women bit their lower lips gently, moved with delicate steps, and slowly walked towards Lan Tian.
"Big Brother Lan, this is our first time coming to Jindu, and Jindu is really so beautiful, we don't even want to leave."
"Then don't leave, I have an apartment in the third ring; just live there on normal days," Lan Tian offered.
...
As the two people walked out of the room, they happened to run into Li Xiaoyao, who was coming upstairs.
"Can't seem to get rid of your presence," the man cursed and pointed at Li Xiaoyao's nose, chiding, "Hey, I told you to f***ing stop following me, are you deaf?"
Li Xiaoyao couldn't be bothered to argue with him; some people can only be dealt with fists.
Li Xiaoyao lifted his foot and kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying back to crash against the door. With the door burst open, he screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
The other man, stunned for a moment at the sight, let out an expletive and charged forward.
In less than two seconds, this man was also kicked and sent flying by Li Xiaoyao.
The commotion in the living room made Lan Tian, who was in the midst of a threesome in the bedroom, frown.
"What's going on?" Lan Tian was somewhat annoyed; it was affecting his mood.
As the noise outside grew louder, Lan Tian became increasingly furious, kicked the door open, and demanded with a furious face, "What's happening? What's all this noise?"
Lan Tian glanced over and quickly deduced that this unfamiliar-faced man must be the origin of the conflict.
"Who are you? Who let you barge in here?" Lan Tian asked with frowning.
The two men on the ground were now picking themselves up, rubbing their sore stomachs, and said, "Brother Lan Tian, this kid claims to know Lan Cai and demanded our Lan family's address. We didn't tell him, so he started throwing punches."
"Oh? You know Lan Cai?" Lan Tian was somewhat surprised, but although he asked this, he didn't actually believe it in his heart.
If Lan Cai were a Phoenix from the heavens, the man before him wouldn't even count as a toad.
How could someone with such a shabby appearance possibly have crossed paths with Lan Cai?

Li Xiaoyao, as if he hadn't noticed the mockery in Lan Tian's words, said, "Lan Cai is my woman."
"Your woman?" Lan Tian's gaze became even more bizarre, and had he not heard it with his own ears, he would have thought this man was out of his mind.
Li Xiaoyao seemed a bit impatient and said, "Tell me, where is Cai'er now?"
"Lan Cai is of course at the Lan family's place, where else could she be?" Lan Tian said with a cold laugh.
"Where is the Lan family located?"
"Hehe, do you really think I would tell you? It seems that Lan Cai's charm is indeed no small thing, for there are no shortage of men like you," Lan Tian clicked his tongue and said, "What a pity, my cousin who is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, is about to marry the young master of the Zheng family, alas."
Li Xiaoyao's brows furrowed. He was merely asking for directions, but these youngsters, one after the other, looked down on him, not taking him seriously at all.
"Thump, thump, thump." Suddenly, a knocking sound came from behind, followed by a middle-aged man's deep voice: "Excuse me, is Mr. Li Xiaoyao here?"
Li Xiaoyao, by the sound alone, immediately judged that this was the very Liu Chengxiang he had just spoken with on the phone.
Li Xiaoyao turned around and said, "That's me."
Before Liu Chengxiang could speak to Li Xiaoyao, the two Lan family side branch men cursed, "Who the hell are you? This is my damn room, shit! Everyone get the hell out, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Liu Chengxiang glanced sidelong, his smile somewhat cold, and said, "Young man, be level-headed and courteous."
"Courteous my ass, who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?"
Men can only run wild for a mere three seconds, then with one step forward, Liu Chengxiang raised his hand and slapped with a palm.
"Smack!"
That slap was even harsher than the kick Li Xiaoyao had delivered; accompanied by the crisp sound, the man spun on the spot like a top and thudded to the ground, half of his face swelling up prominently.
This move shocked the other man and Lan Tian, their throats rolling as they swallowed hard.
Li Xiaoyao, on the other hand, thought to himself that these members of the Xuan Sect were indeed all hot-tempered, but this temper suited him just fine.
"How dare you raise your hand and strike someone!" Lan Tian felt that if he didn't say something now, it would be a disgrace to the Lan family surname, he shouted loudly, "If you have the guts, leave your name! My Lan family, Lan Tian, will definitely pay you a visit someday."
"Oh? A youngster from the Jindu Lan family?" Liu Chengxiang was quite surprised, seemingly not expecting that the person he hit would belong to the Jindu Lan family.
Seeing that he seemed aware of the Lan family, Lan Tian suddenly felt more confident, puffing out his chest and holding his head high, he said, "Indeed!"
Liu Chengxiang chuckled and said, "I am Liu Chengxiang, residing in a courtyard house at the base of the Imperial City. If you have the courage, feel free to come find me."
After speaking, Liu Chengxiang gave Li Xiaoyao a slight smile and said, "Mr. Li, let's talk somewhere else."
"Liu Chengxiang! You're called Liu Chengxiang!" Lan Tian suddenly exclaimed in shock, "The Yin Yang Master Liu Chengxiang!"
