Chapter 190: Xiao Yu’s Invitation

Ao Longyu stood by the lake, looking at Jiang Lan.

Then, she said softly.

“Then help me take a look around.”

Jiang Lan was confused as well.

She definitely wasn’t going to take a shower.

Ao Longyu was not such a person.

Even though he didn’t know the details, he still nodded his head and set up some array formations outside to ensure that no one would come close.

He also set up some array formations which would inform him if someone were to approach this place.

After Jiang Lan was done, Ao Longyu took off her shoes and began to shrink in front of Jiang Lan.

Her appearance had also changed slightly.

Her body shrank to become a girl that was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

On closer inspection, the change in height was actually not that big.

The only time there was a drastic change in height was during the first and second time he had met Xiao Yu.

However, what surprised Jiang Lan the most was the assets on Ao Longyu’s chest.

The changes were huge.

He did not feel anything previously. After all, there was no clear comparison.

However, it was very obvious now.

“This doesn’t make sense.”

This thought flashed across his mind.

Now, he also understood that if Senior Sister Ao became smaller here, it really wasn’t suitable for others to see her.

“What are you thinking about, Junior Brother?” Xiao Yu tilted her head and smiled at Jiang Lan.

The morning light fell on Xiao Yu, making her smile look exceptionally bright.

“Senior Sister only smiles in your current appearance. Your original appearance looks cold.”

Jiang Lan spoke softly.

Although he did not ask why, Xiao Yu should understand.

“When I’m normal, what would you call me?” Xiao Yu asked curiously.

“Senior Sister Ao?” Jiang Lan answered after some thought.

Normally, he would call Ao Longyu Senior Sister Ao.

“What about now?” Xiao Yu asked again.

“Xiao Yu?” Jiang Lan subconsciously asked.

Yes, he would address her two states differently.

This was because he felt that he needed to be more serious when facing the normal Ao Longyu.

As for Xiao Yu, he did not know about her true identity at the start and had interacted with her more often.

He was able to talk more casually when his Senior Sister took the form of Xiao Yu.

However, what did this have to do with Xiao Yu’s completely different personality?

“Junior Brother, are you still puzzled?” Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

“Because I’m used to it,” Xiao Yu replied softly.

“Normally, I’m cold to everyone. I don’t really talk to Junior Brother in that appearance as well. Although this appearance is unfamiliar to others, it is more familiar to Junior Brother.

I have also helped out at the inn with Junior Brother using this appearance. Thus, it’s more natural for me to talk with Junior Brother in this form.”

So Xiao Yu was Senior Sister’s real personality?

After confirming that Jiang Lan understood, Xiao Yu ran into the water as if she enjoyed stepping on water.

Jiang Lan didn’t say anything else. He found a seat and sat down quietly.

While keeping his guard up, he checked the lake.

It was true that he had discovered this place, but he had never been here before, so he had no idea what was here.

It was unlikely to be an ordinary lake.

Xiao Yu only walked on the edge of the lake, not daring to approach the center.

Because she didn’t know if there was any danger in the center.

In other words, Xiao Yu was also avoiding danger.

They had no intention of taking the risk.

Xiao Yu walked by the lake and occasionally looked at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan glanced at Xiao Yu before turning his gaze towards the center of the lake.

There was something in the middle of the lake.

He couldn’t sense any special danger. It was just that there were some confinement array formations in the lake that prevented people from coming up.

Furthermore, there was also a spirit severing array formation.

Although this array formation was dangerous, it was not special.

After realizing this, Jiang Lan stood up and walked to the lakeside.

The lake was huge, and he planned to walk around.

He could also set up some things.

While Jiang Lan was walking, Xiao Yu came to Jiang Lan’s side and asked curiously.

“Junior Brother, are you studying this lake?”

“No.” Jiang Lan shook his head lightly and said.

“There’s a spirit severing array formation and a hidden confinement array formation in the lake. I plan to break the confinement array formation and pause the spirit severing array formation for some time. ”

Xiao Yu blinked.

She hadn’t noticed that there were array formations in the lake.

Had her Junior Brother finished his investigation?

“Is there a treasure inside?” Xiao Yu asked curiously.

“I’m not sure.” Jiang Lan squatted down and set up some formation runes.

This was used to resist the spirit severing array formation.

Comparatively speaking, this lake’s spirit severing array formation was more dangerous.

If it was just a confinement array formation, Xiao Yu should be able to forcibly break through it with her Void Refinement strength.

However, with the presence of the spirit severing array formation, she would not be able to unleash her full strength.

The consequences of being held back were unpredictable.

“Then what is Junior Brother doing?” Xiao Yu squatted down beside Jiang Lan.

She looked at Jiang Lan’s formation, wanting to see if she could see through it.

She soon discovered that her attainments in array formations were far inferior to Jiang Lan’s.

It was no wonder he was able to ascend the array formation hill and leave behind the words ‘Heavens Reward The Diligent’.

Those four words still hung on the peak of the Fifth Summit.

It had become a legend in the Fifth Summit.

“If you want to go into the water, it’ll be safer.”

Jiang Lan spoke calmly.

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan and blinked. She paused for a moment before asking curiously.

“Junior Brother, aren’t you curious about the treasure in the lake? If there’s an array formation here, there’s a high chance that there’s a treasure.”

Jiang Lan continued to walk forward. At the correct position, he would squat down and lay down some runes.

“The Ninth Summit doesn’t lack treasures, right?”

“That seems to be the case.” Xiao Yu stood up and jumped to the side of the lake to continue stepping on her water.

When Jiang Lan walked a distance, she would follow.

She would discuss with Jiang Lan what the treasure in the lake was.

She would also talk about the affairs of the Jade Pool.

“There’s nothing beside the Jade Pool. There aren’t many trees, and there are very few plants. It’s completely incomparable to Junior Brother’s yard.” Xiao Yu was somewhat envious.

He thought about Xiao Yu’s life at the Jade Pool.

Jiang Lan’s first thought was that she was constantly exposed to the elements of nature.

Where could she seek shelter on a rainy day?

There should be an array formation at the Jade Pool that prevented him from approaching it. Even his eyes and senses were unable to extend over.

The rain shouldn’t fall too easily on the Jade Pool.

“Senior Sister, you can bring your favorite flowers over,” Jiang Lan suggested.

The preparations were almost done.

The spirit severing array formation and the confinement array formation could no longer threaten Xiaoyu.

To be safe, he added a few more array formation runes.

“I’ve tried. However, they can’t survive after being transplanted. I don’t know why,” Xiao Yu said while kicking the water.

When Jiang Lan went out to train, she had tried, but she had always failed and never mentioned it.

“Maybe it’s the soil,” Jiang Lan said casually.

He was not good at this.

The reason why plants could grow well in the Ninth Summit was because the land there was good.

And most of them had adapted to the aura of the Netherworld.

Therefore, those flowers were actually growing in a place with dense spiritual energy.

Jiang Lan suddenly understood.

How could the flowers of the Ninth Summit survive in the Jade Pool if they had grown up in such an environment?

Just as he was about to clarify.

Xiao Yu suddenly beat him to it. Her voice was soft and her calm tone fluctuated.

“Then do you want to help me take a look? Help me see what flowers are more suitable.”

These words were very ordinary, but also not ordinary.

At the very least, Jiang Lan was unable to say what she had just said.

In the end, he nodded slightly and did not choose to say it out loud or reject it.

He only answered softly.

“Okay.”

“Remember to tell me when you have time. I’ll lead the way for you.”

A crisp sound rang out with a hint of a smile.
