Chapter 612 She wondered if she had just slapped Lan Huaiyu's soul away.
"How do you know your father was completely unaware? Perhaps he knew all along?" Yan Yun scoffed. "Your father has a daughter from the demon race, so what's so surprising about him protecting the Demon Lord?"
"You!" Lan Huaiyu glared angrily at Yan Yun, but couldn't find the words to refute her.
Lan Huaixi is a demon, which means that demon blood flows in her veins. Therefore, at least one of her parents must be a demon. Her father is not, so only Lan Huaixi's birth mother, the 'Ji Qianyi' that her father mentioned, is a demon.
As for why Lan Huaixi, who is Ji Qianyi's daughter, was born from her own mother's womb, Lan Huaiyu doesn't understand. But it is undeniable that if Xi'er is indeed her father's daughter, then her father must have connections with the Demon Clan.
"Alright, stop arguing," Fu Sheng said. "These are all just speculations right now."
Lan Huaiyu took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down: "But I think that even if Father is involved with the Demon Clan, it is because of Xi'er's identity that he has no choice. He loves Xi'er so much that he would not allow the Demon Lord to possess Xi'er's body."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sheng fell silent.
Fu Sheng had also witnessed Lan Chengtian's behavior in the Tomb of the Gods. His affection for Lan Huaixi seemed genuine, and Lan Huaiyu's rebuttal based on this point was indeed credible.
But if Lan Huaixi was really only possessed by Chongming in the Tomb of the Gods, then what happened in the flight cabin?
Was Lan Huaixi's slumber at that time really just an accident?
"Is there anything else about Lan Huaixi's strangeness?" Fu Sheng asked.
Lan Huaiyu hesitated, seemingly recalling something: "I've caught Xi'er talking to herself several times, as if she were having a conversation. Xi'er is always well-behaved and innocent, but sometimes she seems like a different person, calm and composed. And she always says strange things to me..."
"What did you say?" Fu Sheng asked.
Lan Huaiyu looked up at Fu Sheng, seemingly hesitant to speak: "She said... Yan Su is the chosen one, it's normal that I can't compare to him, and told me not to worry too much. She also said she would protect me..."
When Lan Huaiyu first heard Lan Huaixi say that Yan Su was the chosen one, he thought it was just his sister comforting him. As for the idea of protecting him, he found it even more ridiculous.
After all, in his eyes, his younger sister was someone who couldn't even cultivate, weak, kind and innocent. How could such a sister protect him?
Despite his thoughts, Lan Huaiyu felt a warmth in his heart, and every time Lan Huaixi said that, he would smile and reply, "Okay."
"Protect you..." Fu Sheng seemed thoughtful, but felt that Lan Huaixi's choice of words was a bit strange.
Fu Sheng had heard enough of Lan Huaixi's previous comments about Yan Su being the chosen one, so she wasn't surprised. But Fu Sheng still didn't understand why Lan Huaixi said that.
“I feel like you’ve always listened to Lan Huaixi,” Fu Sheng said.
“Yes, because Xi’er always makes me do the right thing,” Lan Huaiyu said. “She’s like a prophet, always able to help me a lot.”
Fu Sheng had this suspicion before, and now it seems that she is not the only one who feels this way.
"Is there anything else?" Fu Sheng asked.
“That’s all,” Lan Huaiyu said. “That’s all.”
Fu Sheng suddenly said, "Lan Huaiyu, let me ask you, if the investigation eventually reveals that your father's connection to the Demon Clan is not simply that he is connected to the Demon Clan, but that he works for the Demon Clan and that he also played a role in helping Chongming possess Lan Huaixi's body... then what would you do?"
Lan Huaiyu's gaze faltered for a moment before she finally said in a low voice, "I don't know, but right now, all I want is for my sister to come back safe and sound."
During that year, he thought a lot when he was alone.
He always valued the Lan family and his father highly, but in reality, the only one in the entire Lan family who truly cared about him was Xi'er.
Even if Xi'er and he are not siblings from the same mother, so what?
He cultivated like a madman for the past year, even more diligently than before, all in the hope of increasing his strength so that he could rescue Xi'er from the Demon Lord.
He couldn't accept that Xi'er was in danger, nor could he accept that Xi'er's body had been possessed by the Demon Lord and her whereabouts were unknown.
He wanted Xi'er to be safe and sound, he wanted Xi'er to be whole and unharmed.
Hearing Lan Huaiyu's reply, Fu Sheng nodded: "I understand."
