After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

When Yi Chen heard what He Lanzhi said, he did not refute it angrily, nor did he admit it. He just changed the subject, or... brought the topic back on track:

"Brother Helan, since you didn't deny what I said just now, it is enough to prove that the human race did come to you. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

He Lanzhi shrugged noncommittally, her attitude was free and easy with a bit of casualness: "Since you already have the answer in your heart, why do you have to ask me for confirmation again and again?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have suddenly realized something, and deliberately pretended to be enlightened: "Could it be that... you no longer trust yourself to this extent?"

Yi Chen thought he had "agreed" and continued to talk to himself: "That human race, oh no, to be exact, those human races, did they come to you to get your help?"

He didn't even wait for He Lanzhi to answer before blurting out a few more words: "'Xuan Yin Chu', 'San Sheng Hua'...Do you need me to explain it in more detail?"

He Lanzhi's narrow fox eyes quietly revealed some complicated emotions: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Yi Chen put away his folding fan and said meaningfully: "It's nothing special, I just hope that the plan can go more smoothly. For my ideal, I will never allow any mistakes to happen."

He Lanzhi didn't understand his mysterious words. Of course, he didn't want to understand them, but there was one thing he cared about.

He looked at Yi Chen with burning eyes, and said solemnly and seriously: "I don't care what you are going to do, you must not joke about the safety of my fellow apprentices. If you hurt them, I... will never let you go."

Facing his almost "threatening" words, Yi Chen did not show any fear on his face, but just chuckled helplessly:

"I don't remember that you, He Lanzhi, are such a... well, kind-hearted demon. When have you ever cared about anyone's life or death? Could it be that after staying in the human race's sect for a while, you have been infected with the human race's... bad habits?"

He Lanzhi is indeed not that noble. If it were any other human, it wouldn't matter how Yi Chen manipulated them, because it would have nothing to do with him anyway. However... Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao, they are not only his junior brothers, but also Xingxing's junior brothers.

If they were injured or unfortunately died...Xingxing would be heartbroken...he absolutely did not want to see this.

He Lanzhi concealed her emotions very well, not showing any emotion on her face. She just stared at him intently and said, "Can you promise me that you won't hurt them? At least... make sure their lives are safe."

Yi Chen's expression was a little complicated. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. We need them in the plan. They won't die easily."

Then, he changed the subject: "But...as for injuries, I can't guarantee that. After all, the plan is not led by me, Yiyao. To be precise, I am only responsible for the part that I am in charge of."

He Lanzhi nodded, but did not ask for more: "This is enough."

I believe that Xingxing probably won’t be too worried if his junior brothers get hurt due to “training”.

Thinking this way, he cast his gaze at Yi Chen again: "Okay, since you said it yourself, everything you wanted to confirm has been confirmed, so shouldn't we leave now?"

Yi Chen pretended to be "regretful": "No, now that this has been confirmed, we can talk about other things... For example, about the human you like, how is the progress between you and him now?"

He Lanzhi felt as if she had been hit in the heart when she heard this, and her face darkened instantly: "Go quickly, or I will really kick you out."

Yi Chen also knew that he had teased him too much, so he smiled at him again, gently waved his folding fan, turned around, and disappeared without a trace.

However, even though Yi Chen had left, the memories that were evoked still kept coming back like a tide.

He Lanzhi sat on the chair, looking out the window, her thoughts gradually drifting away...
