Later, Helanzhi lived a life of hiding from place to place for a while, and then used many means to contact one of his sisters from the branch family - Helan Yanli.

Helan Yanli is a disciple in a large sect of the human race.

Because Helan Yanli belongs to a branch family and has not awakened the Eye of Falsehood, she does not have the right to inherit the title of head of the family, and she will not be valued if she stays in the Helan family.

In addition, Qingyun Sect's Qingyan Peak is top-notch in the study of illusions, and Helan Yanli likes and is good at illusions, so Helan Yanli left the demon world early and went to Qingyun Sect through some special channels to concentrate on studying illusions.

He Lanzhi wanted to enter Qingyun Sect to seek refuge. After all, Qingyun Sect was one of the four great immortal sects, and ordinary sects could not protect him at all. Only by joining such a powerful sect could he feel at ease.

If he could enter Qingyun Sect, he wouldn't have to live his life in hiding, his life would be guaranteed, and he wouldn't have to be on guard all the time at night and could sleep well.

He Lanzhi tried to find a way to contact He Lan Yanli, hoping that she could recommend a way for him...

During his days of wandering outside, he had learned about the human race's rejection of the demon race. If he went through normal channels, he would not be able to join the human race's sect, and might even be driven out and killed.

In a small teahouse, He Lanzhi sat somewhat awkwardly, waiting for He Lan Yanli to appear...

This is already half an hour later than the agreed time. Could it be that they have broken the contract?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and then he saw a beautiful and charming woman, it was Helan Yanli.

He Lanzhi wanted to say hello to her. After all, they had just met and she needed help from her.

As a result, Helan Yanli simply waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to say any more empty words, and then said the first sentence after they met: "What benefits can you bring to me? Or what value do you have?"

He Lanzhi didn't react for a moment: "What?"

Helan Yanli tapped the table with her fingers in dissatisfaction: "If you can't bring me any benefits and you have no value, then why should I help you? Do I really like to do charity?"

Hearing this, He Lanzhi lowered her eyes to look at the tea on the table.

Foxes will not do anything without profit. He should have known this a long time ago, right? Why did he still have such naive thoughts just now?

Then he raised his eyes again, and his gaze became firm. He knew that only by proving his worth could he have the right to negotiate a deal.

He looked at Helan Yanli and said seriously and confidently: "Do you know your own value? The position of the head of the family?"

"The position of the head of the family?" A hint of color finally flashed in Helan Yanli's fox eyes, and there was a hint of interest.

He Lanzhi nodded, met her puzzled look, and explained: "I have awakened the Eye of Delusion and gained the qualification to compete for the position of Patriarch."

"So what if that's the case?" Helan Yanli took a sip of the tea in front of her. "You are a fox with no name or status. Even if you are qualified to compete, you can't compete with them."

He Lanzhi did not deny it, but leaned forward, her fox eyes full of sincerity: "So...I need your help."

"Oh?" Helan Yanli's eyes showed more interest. "Tell me about it."

He Lanzhi's Adam's apple rolled, and she seemed a little nervous, but her eyes were full of confidence: "I need you to help me, let me enter Qingyun Sect."

He said truthfully: "I am being targeted by other foxes now, and I must find a place to shelter me, and Qingyun Sect is such a good place."

"After I enter the sect, those foxes who target me won't dare to be so blatant. I can also take the opportunity to gather strength in the dark and build my own power..."

Helan Yanli heard his words, licked her teeth lightly with the tip of her tongue, and commented:

"That's a very bold idea. I admire your courage to compete with those powerful foxes. But your idea is still immature. You are too young."

Then, she changed the subject and stared at He Lanzhi: "But...are you trying to get me to take sides? I am neutral and will not participate in any power struggles."

"Besides, even if I wanted to participate, why didn't I choose a party with a better chance of winning, but you? Why did I choose a fox who has no chance of winning and no status?"

He Lanzhi did not show any panic in response to her questioning, but looked at her:

"Although I am nameless and have no status, and cannot compete with other foxes who have obtained the qualifications to compete for the position of family head, it is precisely because of my namelessness and no status that I can bring more benefits to you."

Helan Yanli's eyes changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "Oh? What do you mean?"

He Lanzhi also took a sip of the tea in front of him, moistened his throat, and then said:

"I guess you're not staying neutral because you don't want to take sides, but because you can't take sides."

"Because you know that no matter which side you stand on, it won't bring you much benefit, even if the side you stand on wins."

"Because they all have relatives, the bulk of the benefits will go to their relatives, and as for your branch family, you can only drink some soup."

"But if you stand on the wrong side, you will die miserably. If you stand on the right side, the benefit will not be great, but if you stand on the wrong side, you will die. Weighing the pros and cons of both, that's why you don't participate and choose to be neutral so as not to offend either side."

He Lanzhi noticed the fleeting change on her face, and felt more confident:

"But I am different. I have no name or status. Apart from my mother, I have no relatives behind me. If I become the head of the family, I promise to give you the greatest benefit by dividing the family."

He Lan Yanli laughed out loud when she heard this: "You think it's too simple."

Just when He Lanzhi thought he had failed and failed to convince He Lan Yanli, and felt a little disappointed, He Lan Yanli suddenly changed the subject:

"But...if I join you and help you perfect your plan, maybe...there will be a 60% chance of success."

He Lanzhi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "So? You agree?"

Helan Yanli coughed lightly and said, "Don't get too excited. I don't completely agree. I just think some of your words make sense. But only some of them, so I'm considering it."

Although she said this, He Lanzhi was still somewhat happy: "Well, I understand."

Helan Yanli's expression suddenly turned serious: "You are right, I really need to take a gamble. The branch family is in great need of resources, and only if you...only if you become the head of the family, the branch family will have a chance to rise."

"I know that if you lose, my fate won't be much better, so once I choose you, it means I've chosen a side. From now on, we will rise and fall together, and we will become grasshoppers on the same rope."

"So... I still need to think about it for a while. If I have really thought it through, I will let you enter Qingyun Sect regardless of whether you agree or not."

Helan Yanli said seriously: "But if I really choose your side, then I will assist you with all my strength."

He Lanzhi nodded: "That's enough, thank you...Sister Yanli."

He thought about it for a while and decided to be more intimate, so he used the name "Sister Yanli".

Unexpectedly, Helan Yanli looked disgusted and said, "No need, just call me by my normal name. There is only a relationship of interest between us, no feelings, and there is no need for any."

"To be honest, I was late on purpose today because I was wondering whether I should hand over your whereabouts to the third young master of our family and have their assassins ambush you and kill you, so that I can get some benefits."

Helan Yanli spoke without hiding anything, her words were so straightforward, without caring at all whether Helanzhi would accept it or not, because she knew that Helanzhi needed her and had something to ask of her, so even if she was angry, she could only swallow her anger.

He Lanzhi was not angry, because he had anticipated this possibility. He came here with precautions. He left an invisibility talisman within a radius of 500 miles, and would use it if he felt that something was wrong.

He was somewhat relieved now. Fortunately, he had persuaded Helan Yanli, otherwise he would have to use this invisibility talisman. The invisibility talisman was very expensive, and he had used up all his wealth to buy it.

Helan Yanli continued, "But now...the little benefit from the Third Young Master is not important, and I will not tell him your whereabouts."

"Thank you."

He Lanzhi could only express her gratitude now, after all, he couldn't do anything to her.

When Helan Yanli heard his words of thanks, she ignored him and just got up and left.

Helanzhi looked at her figure and sighed helplessly, hoping to convince her. After all, Helan Yanli was very powerful in the branch family. If she could get her help, it would be easier to get started.

Helan Yanli has no lack of strength, power, or ambition. The only thing she lacks is blood. If she had the Eye of Falsehood, she would have become the head of the family by now...

Maybe she would feel a little unwilling to let some foxes who are not as good as herself become the head of the family?
