#326 - Lan Wenhao's thoughts

The news of Qin Yi's secret realm accommodating ten billion people quickly spread throughout the Great Ming Imperial City.

Within the advanced instructor area of the Great Ming Imperial City.

Lan Tianhe, Qi Yun, and Lan Wenhao stood together, exchanging glances upon hearing this news.

They all sensed a hint of threat to their positions in each other's eyes.

Lan Tianhe said, "Third Brother, Qin Brother accommodating so many people into his minor chiliocosm will inevitably have a significant impact on our Lan family's status."

Lan Wenhao said, "That's indeed the case. Our Lan family has been focusing solely on the advanced instructor area of the Great Ming Academy these days."

"The number of newborns within the family has suddenly increased due to the family planning initiative, but ultimately, the time is too short. These newborns will require a significant amount of time to grow up."

Lan Tianhe said, "Third Brother, what do you think we should do?"

Lan Wenhao said, "How about this? You let Linglong lead one-third of our Lan family back to the minor chiliocosm through the teleportation portal left behind by Qin Brother in the advanced instructor area."

"From now on, this portion of the Lan family will take root and survive in the minor chiliocosm. Meanwhile, we will closely follow Qin Brother's footsteps in the outside world. Only by focusing on both internal and external affairs can our Lan family's position be secured."

Lan Tianhe's eyes lit up and said, "Third Brother, your idea is excellent. I agree."

"Our Lan family and Qin Brother both came from Blue Star, and we were among the first to support and follow Qin Brother."

"Among Qin Brother's forces, our Lan family must strive to solidify our leading position, or else wouldn't we be wasting this unique advantage?"

Lan Wenhao said, "Go and command Linglong now, and also select one-third of the Lan family members to enter the minor chiliocosm."

Lan Tianhe said, "Yes!"

After saying that, Lan Tianhe hurriedly walked outside.

He couldn't afford to delay. The minor chiliocosm must be in a phase of resource redistribution. If he was late, the Lan family might not even get a single hair.

Lan Wenhao gazed at Lan Tianhe's figure, his mind filled with thoughts.

The reason he chose Lan Linglong was simple.

Ever since Lan Linglong met Qin Yi, it seemed as if she could no longer accommodate any other man in her heart.

Lan Wenhao had also worked hard during this period, using his influence and even specially finding Crown Prince Ying Zhi to introduce him to some promising young talents.

Ying Zhi naturally couldn't neglect Lan Wenhao when he came to him, and quickly gathered the most outstanding young people in the Great Ming Imperial City.

These young people were basically heirs of various major families, each of them among the best in the Great Ming Dynasty.

Whether it was cultivation talent or personal background, they were all top choices.

When these people heard that the Lan family, who was following Qin Yi, was publicly seeking a son-in-law, and they had personally witnessed Lan Linglong's beauty.

The Lan family, now standing behind Qin Yi, might have been huddled in the advanced instructor area of the Great Ming Academy.

In reality, its influence was already comparable to the Wang and Jiang families of the Great Ming Imperial City.

There were even rumors that the Lan family was grouped together with the Wang and Jiang families, secretly referred to as the top three families of the Great Ming Dynasty.

These young people were naturally a hundred times willing to do this, and each of them was eager to leave a good impression on Lan Linglong.

However, what was a blow to these young talents was that they didn't even get to see Lan Linglong's face.

When Lan Wenhao told Lan Linglong about this matter, Lan Linglong only replied with two faint words: "Not seeing them."

The embarrassed Lan Wenhao, in the end, had to personally receive these young talents in order to quell the farce he had created.

He racked his brains to barely find a way to save face.

These young talents weren't fools. Lan Linglong didn't even show her face, naturally causing dissatisfaction among these people.

But what could they do even if they were dissatisfied? Cause trouble with the Lan family, which was now in its prime?

Even the Wang and Jiang families had to be polite to the Lan family, let alone their families, which were far inferior to the Wang and Jiang families.

Lan Wenhao personally came forward to explain this matter, which was already enough to give them face.

If they continued to dwell on it, they would inevitably offend the Lan family.

The matter ended just like that...

Later, Lan Wenhao didn't find any more young talents for Lan Linglong.

He himself also thought carefully, these young talents were truly one in the sky and one on the ground compared to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was like the bright moon, and these young talents of the Great Ming Dynasty couldn't even be considered starlight in front of Qin Yi.

No wonder Lan Linglong didn't see them. Lan Wenhao couldn't help but think of a sentence at that time: "Having seen the eagles in the sky, one will definitely not be attracted by the pheasants on the ground."

Before long, Lan Tianhe, Lan Linglong, and one-third of the Lan family members arrived in front of Lan Wenhao.

Lan Linglong stood in the crowd and said to Lan Wenhao, "Greetings, Third Uncle."

Lan Wenhao nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "This time, gathering you here is to entrust you with a major task."

"Our Lan family's Supreme Elder Qin Yi has just recruited a batch of families and all the soldiers of the Great Ming Second Army in the Great Ming Dynasty today."

"The Lan family, as the first family to follow the Supreme Elder, naturally cannot lag behind. Therefore, your next task is to enter the minor chiliocosm and help the Supreme Elder manage some trivial matters."

"By the way, consolidate the influence and status of our Lan family."

These Lan family members were all as shrewd as foxes, and immediately understood the potential meaning in Lan Wenhao's words, saying in unison:

"Please rest assured, Patriarch, we will do our best to stabilize the Lan family's position!"

A trace of appreciation flashed in Lan Wenhao's eyes, and he continued: "Lan Linglong, as your future leader in the minor chiliocosm, must be consulted on any matter."

"No one shall disobey Lan Linglong's words, or they will be killed without mercy!"

"Lan Linglong's power in the minor chiliocosm is equivalent to that of the Patriarch, possessing the power of life, death, and dismissal."

The Lan family members said in unison: "Yes! Please rest assured, Patriarch, we will definitely obey Lan Linglong."

Lan Linglong's performance has long conquered the Lan family members.

These Lan family members had no dissatisfaction with Lan Linglong leading them in the minor chiliocosm, and they were all convinced.

Lan Wenhao waved his hand and said, "Linglong, time is of the essence, you should go to the minor chiliocosm through the teleportation portal in the advanced instructor area."

Lan Linglong said, "Yes!"

After saying that, Lan Linglong led the way in front, and a group of Lan family members followed behind.

Looking at Lan Linglong's departing figure, Lan Wenhao thought to himself, "Linglong, Third Uncle can only help you this much."

"I hope you can achieve your heart's desire this time, sigh..."

Lan Wenhao had no confidence in the probability of Lan Linglong's heart's desire being achieved.

Qin Yi was like the high and mighty scorching sun, how could such a figure place his heart on Lan Linglong?

Lan Linglong's cultivation talent and appearance were both very good, but it depended on who she was compared to.

Compared to Qin Yi, there was a gap between a genius and an ordinary person.

Under this huge gap, Lan Wenhao naturally didn't hold any expectations for Lan Linglong's infatuation.
