"Um, Mr. Lu, if you don't mind me asking, if you already know the truth of your birth and never had the plans of returning to your family, Isn't it better to go somewhere else?" Li Cheng asked after listening to Mark's resolution. The presence of the Imperial princess in the store is also bugging him.

In response to his question, Mark asked in return, "Is that a problem for you?"

A clever person would be able to understand what Mark was trying to say. Outsiders have no right to poke their noses into his business.

While Li Cheng might not read between the lines but he could at least understand that Mark wasn't pleased by his question. He shook his head and stayed silent.

Meanwhile, Lan Jing was analyzing Mark's reactions from the start to his latest reply and came to a conclusion that the latter might not follow him if he just offered him what he had originally in mind. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you know that you are the son of Lan Jingyi and Emperor Shang, then, you must have already figured out what bloodline you have."

"Blizzard Pegasus," replied Mark.

Lan Jing nodded with a smile, "Then, you must have also known about Lan Gengxin."

"Just as much everyone knows." Mark shrugged his shoulders. Originally, he doesn't know a dime about his maternal grandfather. He had only learned of that name from the system when he awakened the bloodline. After that, that Seer from the Church of Doom told a little bit about him.

When Gu Ya told him that his grandfather and others came to the Phoenix Empire and took over the existing branch of the Sect, he thought they were probably from other Empires.

But, after seeing the details of Lan Jing, where it was mentioned that this guy is from Heavenly Ocean Empire, Mark wondered whether they are from other worlds.

To confirm his suspicions, he let the old man finish the story of the Lan Clan too.

"Lan Gengxin's origins lie with the Ancient Lan Sect, which is based in the Heavenly Ocean Empire. It is located in the plane of Ice and Fire where spiritual energy is a hundred times richer than this low-level world of the mortal plane.

Of course, I won't belittle this world either. After all, this world only faces low-level threats compared to what we face there.

For a hundred thousand years, the Ancient Lan Sect acted as one of the guardians to keep the monsters in check.

But, more than five decades ago, your maternal great grandfather, Sect master Lan Ye made a blunder by joining other clans and sects to overthrow the Emperor. If the rebellion succeeded, Lan Sect would have become the number one sect in the entire Heavenly Ocean Empire.

Unfortunately, his wrong choice hit us very hard.

As we lost our status and our fame took a hit, a lot of disciples left the sect, the elders formed factions among themselves, and the Imperial family started breathing fire down on our necks. While we might have lost the war, the imperial palace couldn't take us down.

So, they kept on provoking us and harassing us to make us lose patience and make another blunder. If we had done that, the Imperial family would have taken the support of other guardian sects and completely destroy us.

To appease the Emperor and protect the sect from a civil war, the Sect Master had to make a difficult choice. He had destroyed the cultivation of his only two sons and exiled them from the sect.

The Emperor was a good man, in fact. He felt like our sect and our sect master had suffered enough. Keeping the sect's past deeds in mind, he had forgiven us. At the same time, the Sect Master had made the elders take the oath of not eyeing his seat until he was alive.

Considering the main family line has ended, they too agreed with it. Only after that, did he destroy our cultivations and sent us away.

However, no one has any idea that the Sect Master had a backup plan. Before our cultivation got destroyed completely, we were given a cultivation storage pill, which will absorb some of our ether particles and store them in a particular part of the body.

Once we became ordinary civilians with all of our ether particles killed, I and my brother were sent to the mortal plane. Thankfully, some loyal friends followed us and stayed with us until the end.

After the seven of us reached this land, we learned that there's a Lan Sect branch existing without our knowledge. It was a sect formed by a descendant of the Lan Clan expelled from our sect thousand years ago.

We took over the sect and slowly improved our cultivation realm. Unlike my brother, I wasn't blessed by the Blizzard Pegasus. As a result, I couldn't reach my peak even after fifty years. Sigh…

Anyway, coming to the point, you are the descendant of Lan Gengxin and also blessed by Blizzard Pegasus. You have the chance to be the clan heir before taking over the Sect.

Our Ancient Lan Sect might have fallen from its peak but no one can deny our history. We have reserves of money, treasures, skill books, pills, whatever you ask, it will be yours.

If you come with us and claim your heirship, within a decade, you can easily become a Demigod (10-circle). And if you diligently cultivate for a century or two, who knows, you might be able to even become a Saint (12-circle). What do you say?"

Lan Jing already realized that this fellow doesn't seem the type to be moved by a story. That's why he tried to tempt him with treasures and cultivation.

On the other hand, Mark was simply staring at him in silence.

Lan Jing thought that this descendant was in his thoughts but Mark wasn't, at least, not at the moment. He was just staring at the holographic screen that was only visible to him.

*Ding! You triggered a mandatory hidden quest.

Quest: Return to the Clan

Description: The host was able to activate the Blizzard Pegasus bloodline due to the mother's family line. One way or another, you are connected to Lan Clan. And the Lan clan is directly connected to the Ancient Lan Sect. It is your duty to repay the debt by returning Ancient Lan Sect to its former glory.

Reward: Unknown (Depends on how long it takes to complete the quest)

p Time limit: None

*Ding! The system accepted the quest on your behalf.

Mark couldn't anything with the mandatory quests but then again, as there is no time limit, he wasn't worried about it.

Once he closed down the screen, he finally started thinking. His thoughts weren't about the quest but rather on how to deal with these two. What he liked about Lan Jing is that this old man didn't try to speak of the blood relationship between them. After all, he is Mark's granduncle.

Instead, the old man only talked with him as if they were strangers. Mark liked that way. So, what should he do to take advantage of his desperation?

After thinking deeply, Mark came to a decision and said, "I'll go with you but not at the moment. There are several things I need to do at this place, for example, I need to find out the killer of my parents. I also wanted to restore Lan Sect at Kunyu mountain range among other things.

If you help me with them, then, I can even finish them faster and return with you."
