Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 297 Kneel Down [Third Update]

Lan Cai sat beside the sickbed, looking at the elder with a rosy complexion and spirited eyes, and exclaimed with joy, "Grandfather, you have really awakened."

The old man smiled and said, "Stop crying. Crying will ruin your looks, and the children of the Lan Family shed blood, not tears."

"Um," Lan Cai wiped away her tears, took Li Xiaoyao’s hand, and said, "Grandfather, this is Li Xiaoyao." Find exclusive content at novelbuddy

Li Xiaoyao, with an expression of cold pride befitting a male god, nodded to the elder and said, "Hello."

The elder showed great interest in Li Xiaoyao and after scrutinizing him up and down, asked, "Are you a Cultivator?"

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised but then came to a realization.

It seemed that behind the scenes of the Lan Family, there indeed must be Cultivators, otherwise how would the elder know such things?

"Um," Li Xiaoyao did not deny it and said, "Your granddaughter is now also a Cultivator."

"What?" The elder looked at Lan Cai in surprise, disbelieving.

The elder had seven siblings, among whom his oldest brother had the fortune to be taken in by a Cultivator as an apprentice.

As the saying goes, when one man attains the Tao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven; the eldest brother achieved success in cultivation, found his siblings, and provided them with large sums of start-up capital, clearing away any troubles they met on their entrepreneurial path.

It was for this reason that Lan Shanwen, within merely a few decades, was able to establish a vast business empire, without any others daring to covet it.

With a powerful Cultivator backing them, which fool would dare to provoke them? That would be bringing death upon oneself.

Every time a child was born into the Lan Family, the elder would use the Spirit Testing Stone given by his eldest brother to test whether the Lan children had Spirit Roots.

If one had a Spirit Root, they could become a powerful Cultivator.

Unfortunately, those with Spirit Roots were one in a thousand miles; the vast Lan Family, over so many years, had only a few people who tested positive for Spirit Roots.

Those who did test for Spirit Roots were sent from childhood to the Lan Family in Yun Country for cultivation.

Lan Cai knew only of the three elder brothers in the Jindu Lan Family, but she did not know that aside from these three brothers, there were a few others. It’s just that these elder brothers were sent to Yun Country shortly after their birth.

Lan Shanwen was shaken, and as an insider, he knew how difficult it was to become a respected and revered Cultivator. Yet now, this young man told him that his granddaughter, who had reached the age of 25 and was an ordinary person, had suddenly become a Cultivator.

What was the background of this young man who could allow an ordinary person to become a Cultivator, completely unbound by the constraints of a Spirit Root?

Li Xiaoyao looked back outside the sickroom at the sea of Lan Family members and the security guards, as well as the fully armed police officers who had rushed over quickly.

"Elder, I must go now. Your Lan Family members don’t seem to welcome me," Li Xiaoyao said with a cold laugh.

Lan Shanwen furrowed his brows and asked, "What’s going on?"

Lan Cai explained the situation in a soft and delicate voice from the side.

After hearing the course of events, Lan Shanwen huffed heavily: "Outrageous, open the door, let them in. I want to see who dares to shout at my lifesaver!"

Lan Cai walked over and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, led by Lan Shili, they charged in, with Xu Wan following closely behind. Seizing what she thought was a good opportunity, she yelled, "You treacherous little wretch!"

After the insult, she raised her hand and delivered a heavy slap across Lan Cai’s face.

The slap was both sharp and loud, surprising everyone present, yet none stepped forward to speak up for her.

Xu Wan, with her chin raised and an air of arrogance, looked down on Lan Cai. In this situation, nobody would dare to utter a word against her for striking Lan Cai.

Because she was fighting for the old patriarch.

Previously, when Li Xiaoyao and Lan Cai were sitting by the bed, those outside did not realize the old man had actually awakened. Had they seen this scene, they would never have dared treat Lan Cai with such disrespect.

"Are you looking for death!"

A furious roar, akin to that of a beast, erupted from the sickroom. Right after, everyone saw Li Xiaoyao, who was standing beside the bed, transform into a shadowy figure, instantly appearing before Xu Wan, and with a raise of his hand, he slapped her across the face.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound rang out, and Xu Wan’s figure, like a kite with its string cut, flew several meters, collided with the wall, and finally slid down slowly.

Li Xiaoyao reached out to hold Lan Cai in his arms, his cold and murderous gaze sweeping over everyone in the room, eventually resting on the disheveled Xu Wan.

"You dare to hit me!" Xu Wan covered her cheek, with a few teeth knocked out, causing her to speak with a noticeable lisp.

"I said before, if you dare threaten Cai’er in the slightest, I’ll kill you!" The icy words seemed to drop the temperature of the entire sickroom by several degrees.

Everyone thought Li Xiaoyao was all talk, but anyone who made eye contact with him involuntarily trembled.

Could he really dare to kill someone?

A fear began to grow inside everyone.

"Li Xiaoyao, you are not taking our Lan Family too lightly!" Xu Wan’s husband, Lan Qiniang, stood in front of Xu Wan, glaring furiously at him.

"You worthless things, kneel down!" A voice, though aged yet filled with vigor, angrily rang out from the sickbed.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone was shocked, then turned their heads to see the old patriarch with a face full of rage.

"Dad, you’re awake!" Lan Shili’s eyes widened in surprise as joy quickly surged within him.

The old patriarch propped himself up with his palms on the bed, and while sitting up, scolded him, "If I didn’t wake up, the Lan Family would have been destroyed by you all!"

"Dad, what do you mean by that?" Lan Qiniang asked, confused.

A younger member quickly stepped forward to assist the old patriarch off the bed.

The old patriarch slowly approached Li Xiaoyao and apologizingly said, "Mr. Li, I’m truly sorry. These youngsters in my Lan Family are ignorant. If they have offended you, this old man hereby offers an apology on their behalf."

"What!"

"Dad, what are you talking about? Why are you apologizing to him?" Lan Qiniang was utterly perplexed by his father’s actions.

"Unfilial son!" The old patriarch swung his hand, landing a slap across Lan Qiniang’s face, leaving him completely baffled.

"Haven’t you knelt down yet to apologize to Mr. Li?" The old patriarch, having had dealings with cultivators, knew they were all quite temperamental.

In the days he lay unconscious, the Lan Family members had repeatedly offended Li Xiaoyao, and had it not been for Lan Cai’s presence, Li Xiaoyao might already have cleansed the Lan Family in blood.

Thinking about the potential consequences made the old patriarch shudder with fear.

"Dad!" Lan Qiniang, refusing to kneel, thought that if he kneeled before a young man with so many family members present, it would be utterly disgraceful.

With a natural air of authority, the old patriarch said, "Are you not even listening to my words anymore?"

After hesitating for a long time, Lan Qiniang ultimately did not dare to defy the old patriarch’s command and slowly kneeled before Li Xiaoyao.

This drastic turn of events left the members of the Lan Family utterly stupefied.
