Chapter 2127

Yan Aohan’s divine sense naturally caught every move, but he didn’t bother to stop them. Instead, he led the group to the lawn.

Once there, Yan Aohan took out the powder Zhu Yanyi had given him earlier and handed it back to her. Zhu Yanyi then distributed it among the group.

"There is snake-attracting grass here," Zhu Yanyi said, her voice clear and simple. "Everyone, sprinkle this powder like you are sowing seeds. We must keep the snakes away."

"Snake-attracting grass? Why would anyone plant this here? Isn't that asking for trouble?" Ouyang Tianyun took the powder and helped sprinkle it, but he voiced his confusion.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Who knows? Anyway, whatever is here, we don't need to worry about it. One thing is certain: we are doctors. When a doctor sees snake-attracting grass, we must deal with it properly, right?"

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi made a funny face at everyone.

The others laughed, clearly understanding that the presence of snake-attracting grass here was inappropriate.

Yu Qingyun said, "Still, we should find the person who planted this grass as soon as possible."

Yan Aohan nodded from the side. "We are already looking. We should have results in a few days."

"Actually, there is no need to search deliberately," Yi Yunfei said. "Looking at how the snake-attracting grass is blooming, we can tell that all the flowers here will be fully open in at most three days. I don't think anyone would miss observing this. Besides, when the snake-attracting grass is in full bloom, it is the best time to attract snakes. I don't believe anyone would give up this opportunity."

Yan Aohan looked at Yi Yunfei with approval. "I think the same. So I am not in a hurry. In three days, those who need to know will know."

She then glanced at Yi Yunfei and the others, her eyes twinkling. "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing Yan Aohan’s expression, Zhu Yanyi knew he was planning to trick someone. She pretended to go to the side to sprinkle the powder. As long as Yan Aohan didn’t trick her, it was fine. The others were her senior brothers, but between her brothers and her husband, she would always choose her husband.

Yan Aohan grinned. "Actually, I just want to ask for your help."

"What?" Sikong Xuran asked curiously.

Yan Aohan said, "You must have noticed the situation in the Yan family. I am determined to reform the Yan family. I plan to give the Yan family members here some medicine to make them forget everything here. As for guarding this place, I intend to find other people. Therefore, I want to ask for your help."

Hearing this, Sikong Xuran almost choked on his saliva. "Do you know what you are saying?"

"I naturally know what I am saying." Yan Aohan glanced at Sikong Xuran calmly, looking as if he found their shock unnecessary. "I have thought about it. The guardians here should be cultivators. Only cultivators will exist forever. Also, we don’t need many people. In this world, one cultivator can destroy a world, so we don’t need a large number. However, their character must be good. I have thought about it, and your characters are fine."

"Thank goodness, this has nothing to do with me." Yu Qingyun was nearly scared out of his wits. He only relaxed after hearing Yan Aohan’s words.

Yan Aohan casually looked at Yu Qingyun. "Don’t think you are safe. Since I have asked, it means you will also be used."

"Cough, cough." Yu Qingyun’s face looked very bad. He looked at Yan Aohan. "You cannot bully me, a mortal, just because you are the Lord Yanluo."

"No choice. Being able to bully mortals is also my skill. If you have the ability, come and bully me." Yan Aohan could be quite shameless at times, just like now. His shamelessness left Yu Qingyun pointing at him, unable to say anything for a moment.

Yan Aohan paused for a moment, then spoke seriously. "Cultivators can protect this barrier. Generally, we do not go out to the outside world. However, the daily maintenance of the outside world still requires people from the outside. So I have thought about it. In the future, the Yan family will be divided into an inner sect and an outer sect. The inner sect will consist of cultivators, led by Sikong and you. The outer sect will consist of mortals, led by Qingyun. This matter will be conducted in secret. In the future, no matter what you do, unless summoned by the head of the Yan family, you cannot reveal your identity as members of the Yan family."

"Are you crazy? You said they are members of the Yan family, but we are not members of the Yan family," Ouyang Tianyun said.

"Who told you that members of the Yan family must be blood relatives?" Yan Aohan’s words were awkward but clearly expressed his meaning.

Yan Aohan continued, "The existence of the Yan family itself has not had much blood relation. The current Yan family actually received the surname Yan from my former retainers. However, this method no longer works. I have thought about it, and it is no longer needed. Later, Ani gave me a suggestion. In the future, the Yan family will just be an organization name, and the surname Yan will just be a code."

"This matter is too big. Hearing you say this, we all feel a bit dizzy. Let us think about it carefully first," Sikong Xuran said.

She was telling the truth. Who could have imagined that Yan Aohan would do this? It indeed made them feel inexplicably dizzy, so thinking it over was necessary.

Yan Aohan did not insist on getting their answer right now. "I am just notifying you in advance. You should prepare yourselves mentally."

The way he said it made it feel like forcing a duck onto a cart. They couldn’t refuse even if they wanted to. Ouyang Tianyun sighed. "Little Junior Sister, is your husband being too much? This feels like being forced to win a lottery."

"How wonderful! The chance of winning is so rare. And you all won. You can keep in touch more in the future," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Tianyun, you should not say such things to Little Junior Sister. She is a standard 'husband-first' person. If you discuss her husband with her, she will only protect her. What else can she do?" Sikong Xuran sneered, glancing at Zhu Yanyi to show her dissatisfaction.

Zhu Yanyi made a funny face. "Aohan is my husband. How can I not support my own husband?"

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Yan Aohan smiled broadly. He said to Ouyang Tianyun, "Besides, it is good for you to come to this world. Didn’t you say you wanted to come here often for training in the future?"

His implication was clear: I am giving you an opportunity, and you are complaining. That is not right.

Zhu Yanyi held back her laughter on the side. She would absolutely not participate in this topic. She would only watch her husband constantly coaxing these people. So she raised her eyebrows and remained silent. Besides, Zhu Yanyi also knew that although Yan Aohan seemed to be tricking them, he was actually helping them achieve their goals.
