I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 67 - 62: Picked Up (Third Update)_3

It doesn’t seem very convincing.

Outside the room, the sun was just rising, casting a pale light on Gu Lan’s face.

She thought of the pile of corpses in her own room and felt a headache coming on: "Since that’s the case, I’ll leave first."

Gu Lan exited the room and left.

After a few steps, she felt something was off and turned her head.

Wei Chengyuan was following her closely;

Wei Lan was jogging behind Wei Chengyuan;

Rong Heng was carrying a small bundle, indifferently walking at the very back, and when he caught Gu Lan’s gaze, he said in an unfeeling voice: "I’m not following you; I’m going to the water source north of the city to see if there’s an epidemic."

Gu Lan replied, "Brother Hang, I haven’t asked you anything, why are you explaining?"

Rong Heng: "..."

Gu Lan hooked her arm around Rong Heng’s shoulder, and as he was about to shake her off, she spoke: "Is the Heart Closing Pill fun to play with? If I take one, would it increase my inner strength? Maybe I’ll even become strong and energetic."

Rong Heng’s brow furrowed, and he said coldly: "If you want to end up like him, then try it."

Beside him, there was the familiar scent of the young man mixed with a hint of blood, coming warm and close, making Rong Heng uncomfortably stiff.

And yet, Gu Lan kept talking, making him momentarily forget to create distance between them.

"Brother Hang is going to the water source north of the city to check for an epidemic, why not come to my house to see if there’s one?"

"The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is at a high elevation, with a water source independently drawn from Meng Mountain, there’s no issue."

"But right now, there are several corpses in my room." Gu Lan said with a faint smile.

Rong Heng’s pupils constricted, and suddenly he understood why Wei Chengyuan showed up out of nowhere, and why Gu Lan was covered in blood.

"Did Consort Qian find you?"

Gu Lan shook her head: "No, it was someone from the Qian Family named Qian Zhao, claiming to avenge the Second Prince."

— Qian Zhao.

Rong Heng muttered this name, a shadowy glint passing through his eyes.

Then, he thought about how he had become what he was now, having gone through so much torment and schemes, while Gu Lan, as a trueborn of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, appeared to be endlessly glorious, yet unknown to anyone were the battles and plots he had faced to attain his current skills...

"Brother Hang, since you’ve left the palace and have nowhere to stay, why not live at my place," Gu Lan’s voice carried a hint of ambiguity, "Could it be you’ve taken a fancy to some young girl? No worries, our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has an abundance of young girls, you can choose any you like, I don’t mind at all."

Rong Heng clenched his fist, feeling ashamed of his momentary lapse of softness.

Haha, he thought Gu Lan hadn’t suffered any hardship, instead, he seemed to be enjoying himself!

Gu Lan had no idea what Rong Heng was thinking, she looked at Wei Chengyuan and her tone turned flat: "Don’t follow me, she’s the one who’s actually your sister."

Wei Chengyuan opened his eyes wide, his eyes shaped in a slightly droopy manner, looking tough yet innocent, that reddened at the edges, and then tears rolled down: "Lanlan, are you abandoning me?"

A tall, strong, wild, and cold-hearted man, weeping in front of her?

Gu Lan pressed her brow violently, feeling this sandbag had come to life, indeed a troubling matter.

Wei Lan clung to Wei Chengyuan’s leg, also sobbing: "Brother, are you abandoning me?"

She gazed at the pair, one large and one small, and sighed sadly.

When Young Master Gu returned to the Marquis Mansion, behind him were three new small servants arranged by height, wearing bamboo hats.

The foremost, Wei Chengyuan, turned into a streak of black light as soon as he entered, disappearing from sight, his martial arts forgotten, yet his Qinggong remained remarkably adept.

The citizens queuing at the Marquis Mansion’s gate to receive porridge, seeing the two people Young Master Gu brought back, especially the young girl who appeared only six or seven even under a hat, worried about her troubled fate.

Once you’re in the Marquis Mansion it’s as deep as the sea, Young Master Gu doesn’t even spare the six- or seven-year-old girls!

The gatekeeper, leaning on a cane, hobbled over, looking behind Gu Lan: "Young Master, you’re finally back! Who are these two?"

Wei Lan, small as she was, was searching for her brother’s figure.

Meanwhile, next to Young Master Gu, was Rong Heng wearing a black bamboo hat.

His face was covered with a silver-white mask, devoid of decoration, showing only a pair of eyes deep as ink, appearing mysterious and cold.

An unrecognizable man, a young girl, the Young Master’s taste is truly becoming increasingly peculiar.

Gu Lan flashed the gatekeeper a smile all men understand.

"Alright, alright, I understand," said the gatekeeper.

Rong Heng’s lips pressed together under the mask, his eyes looking faintly at Gu Lan.

Understand what? Just what exactly is Gu Lan up to every day?

Before reaching the Step Lotus Hall, Zipei came forward, looking anxious.

Gu Lan knew the dead in her room had been discovered, she thought for a moment, then turned back and said: "Doctor Hang, take a left up ahead and that’ll be where I live, the Step Lotus Hall. Zipei, arrange two rooms for him and this young girl."

Doctor Hang? Rong Heng, hearing the name she addressed him by, did not refute.

Zipei looked towards Rong Heng, then bent down to view Wei Lan, quickly asking: "Young master, where did these few come from?"

Gu Lan: "Picked them up!"
