Chapter 17 Confidant

At this time, Qin Lan ran around like a headless fly, and even he appeared in the same place several times. Obviously, he was lost!

"Where is this? Where did I come from?" Qin Lan looked around with a bitter face, "Why are they the same? Have I been here before this place?"

Qin Lan felt that this was not a solution, and maybe even Zuo Mansion could not go back! So he walked into a very simple store with various objects hanging around the store, and there were many types.

Qin Lan had actually been here for a long time, but when she saw the name of the store outside the store, she felt that it would not be possible. After all, it was called Yangchun Pavilion, so it was not serious when it looked at the name, but there was nothing she could do. Qin Lan could only try and ask: "Hello! Do you have four treasures of study here?"

The shopkeeper who was settled the score looked up and saw that Qin Lan had a plain appearance but was dressed properly. He thought that the young master was, so he didn't dare to neglect it. "Yes, yes, I don't know which kind of young master wants? We have all kinds of materials!"

Qin Lan felt like a blind cat met a dead mouse. The store was named so inappropriately but sold things from scholars. She said in surprise: "It's really true! Except for the pen that requires a wolf hair, everything else is casual."

"I wonder how many levels of Ghost Wolf-haired young master want?" The shopkeeper had already seen that the young master in front of him rarely went shopping and was definitely a good master. He smiled secretly in his heart.

Qin Lan was stumped. The gentleman told him to buy the ghost wolf, but he didn't say how many levels of ghost wolf it was. He could only frown and asked, "Can the price be given?"

The shopkeeper knew what this meant. As long as it could be within the range of this young master's tolerance, the business would not run away. He smiled and said, "Because the first-level ghost wolf hair is too ordinary, we only sell 35 first-level spirit stones. Although the second-level ghost wolf hair is rare, it is only worth eighty second-level spirit stones. The third-level ghost wolf hair only requires twenty third-level spirit stones, and the fourth-level one is more, and twenty-four fourth-level spirit stones are needed. As for those above the fifth level, there will be no shop."

"Ah! Why didn't the price rise in proportion?" Qin Lan obviously grasped the wrong point.

"The monsters are several times more powerful every time they advance, and it is even more difficult to arrest them. However, because they are made of hair, they only need to buy goods in some places. However, the source of goods is extremely unstable, so the price is of course disproportionate!" The shopkeeper was even more sure that the young master must be the kind of person who stayed at home and did not leave the house.

Qin Lan only remembered after hearing this that he only had five third-grade spirit stones, and he remembered it wrongly, and remembered it as if he wanted to spend these spirit stones. He was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Just as Qin Lan frowned and thought about the problem, someone came from behind him. It was Yan Zhi who was pretending to be against him. Yan Zhi walked around Qin Lan's right and suddenly patted Qin Lan on the shoulder.

"Hey, it's really you! I just saw the back looks quite similar, but I thought it wasn't!" Yan Zhi was very happy, just like a friend he had been with for many years.

Qin Lan was startled, and then saw a face that made him slightly jealous, "Uh, Young Master Yan! Is there anything wrong?"

Yan Zhi's smile still did not change, "It's okay, I just say hello to you."

Qin Lan looked at Yan Zhi and saw that his body was a little dirty, and asked quickly: "What's wrong with you? Your body is so dirty."

Yan Zhixiang looked at the door, then turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Prepare a private room for me!"

"Okay," the shopkeeper next to him had long seen that this was Yan Zhi, so he didn't dare to speak on the side, for fear of annoying him.

Qin Lan and Yan Zhi were in a private room by the window, and they could just see the movements of pedestrians through the window.

"Why are you sneaking?" Qin Lan looked at Yan Zhi, who had been investigating the enemy's situation through the window.

"I came out sneaked out and was suffocated to death at home! I finally got out, so I could go back so easily!" Yan Zhi was very frank with Qin Lan, obviously treating him as a good friend.

"Ah!" Qin Lan said in surprise, "Aren't you the young master of the Yan family?"

Yan Zhi sighed and said helplessly: "It is because I am the young master of the Yan family that I am under control everywhere, which is so annoying!"

"I think it's good to be controlled by someone! At least you don't have to worry about being starved to death!" Qin Lan thought of the time when no one was concerned about starving to death in the past few months.

"Oh! You don't understand. You practice and study every day. It's fine. You have to learn to manage family affairs. This is simply fatal! If you make a mistake, you will be locked in a small dark room to reflect on it. You don't understand this day!" Yan Zhi told Qin Lan all the time, "And there are no friends. I'm educated every day and say that I don't need friends! I'm so miserable!"

Qin Lan was still scared when she was locked up in a small dark room and said to the same feeling: "I understand, I have been locked up in a small dark room, it's really not good. It's very dark and can't even see it even if you practice your fingers. Except for the small corner where you are, the other space seems to be full of ghosts."

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling!" Yan Zhi felt that Qin Lan in front of him was his confidant. "Every time he walked out and saw the sunshine, he couldn't be happy because he didn't know when he would go in again."

Qin Lan had a deep understanding and sighed: "I don't want to experience that feeling even if I beat you to death!"

Yan Zhi was educated to have no friends since he was a child. He knew how to practice since he was a child. Those of him at the same age either respected him or were afraid of him. Even those younger generation masters felt that there was an insurmountable gap between him and them. Only when he knew that the lamplight saw Qin Lan that day did he feel a sense of mutual appreciation. Today he had already recognized this friend in his heart because there was no gap between them.

"I don't want to," Yan Zhi looked into the distance, his tone was very deep, and he didn't want the tone of a teenager at all, "I really want to go out and make a fuss!"

"This world is big and beautiful," Qin Lan murmured at the sky.

"Where do you want to go the most?" Yan Zhi asked.

"Mr. I have shown me a book. There are many beautiful places in it. I want to see if it really exists," said Qin Lan. "The book says that in the sea and sky, where the sky kisses the sea, there is a floating island. Legend has it that when the sky clears up, you can watch the stars in the highest place on the island, just like being in it, dancing with the stars!"

"I also want to go to the sea and sky, but I want to go to the depths of the forest. It is said that there is a valley full of flowers. There are spring all year round, and butterflies are flying freely in the valley. No monster has the heart to destroy it. It is said that even the worst people and the bloodthirsty monsters enter it, it is as docile as goats. It is the peaceful place in the world," Yan Zhi's eyes showed a longing light.

"But we can't leave," Qin Lan was discouraged. "I am the young lady's book boy, and I still have to become a strong man to protect her. You are the young master of the Yan family, and your responsibility is no less than mine."

"Who said no!" Yan Zhi also became discouraged. "How great would it be if we could take off our responsibilities! We could go where we wanted to go!"

"The head of the family is very nice to me, I can't leave the Zuo family casually," Qin Lan's voice was low, but she was very firm.

"Yes! We are all people who are bound by these responsibilities, so it is not so easy to break free," Yan Zhi smiled bitterly.

The two were silent at the same time, and they didn't know that their conversation was not like what two teenagers should say, but like two middle-aged people complaining to each other.

Yan Zhi remembered that Qin Lan seemed to be buying something just now, and blurted out: "By the way, are you here to buy something?"

"Mr. asked me to buy the four treasures of the study," Qin Lan said frankly, "I have been away for a long time. I have already walked to the front of this store several times, but I always don't feel like this name, so I missed it a few times until I just found out there."

"This name is bad, Yangchun Pavilion sounds so nice!" Yan Zhi's face turned slightly red and he explained.

"This name is indeed not good! My brother said before, don't go in easily after the shop with the name of Chun," Qin Lan said frankly.

"Ahem," Yan Zhi's face turned slightly red, showing embarrassment, but he still forced his defense, "What your brother said is not exactly right."

"Why are you so safeguarding the name of this store? It's not your choice!" Qin Lan showed an expression of seeing through everything.

"Let's stop talking about this! I've been here for so long, maybe my family has already found that I've sneaked out, so find a place to hide!" Yan Zhi hurriedly changed the topic.

"That's OK, but I have to buy the four treasures of the study first!" Qin Lan did not forget his task.

Yan Zhi said: "I will ask the shopkeeper to find someone to send it to Zuo Mansion. Let's go first!"

Qin Lan thought about it and said that the gentleman only said that he would buy it, but he didn't say that he would send it back by himself, nor did he say that he would go back after buying it, so he agreed.

After Yan Zhi greeted the shopkeeper, Qin Lan had to pay, but the shopkeeper looked at Yan Zhi. Yan Zhi said carelessly, "I don't want it." It's all my brothers who want. Qin Lan is not the kind of person who hesitates about such things. The main reason is that he doesn't have much idea about spirit stones.

After Yan Zhi took Qin Lan away, the three of them walked into Yangchun Pavilion. Of course, the shopkeeper knew that they were here to find Yan Zhi, so he said that Yan Zhi had never been here, and the three of them did not delay their work. After searching aside, they turned around and left.

The two people hiding in an alley saw the three people in Yangchun Pavilion, secretly glad that they had left early, otherwise they would have been caught.

Qin Lan suddenly remembered and said strangely: "They are here to look for you, why am I hiding!"

Yan Zhi whispered: "You can speak softly, what if you are discovered? What are yours and mine now? I'm caught. Do you think you can run away!"

"It seems like this," Qin Lan felt it made sense. Now that Yan Zhi was caught, he had no good results, "Then where are we going now!"

"While you can't leave everything behind when you go out, it's good to go out and experience it!" Yan Zhi said cunningly.

"Ah! We can't leave the city casually! We can't be scolded when we come back!" Qin Lan was a little reluctant.

"You think! Let's go and experience it, but if we don't go and experience it, how can we become masters and how can we protect our family!" Yan Zhi looked like a liar.

"But, is this really good? I don't feel good if I don't say it to my elders and go out, I always feel bad!" Qin Lan was moved, but she didn't feel good.

"It's nothing! I'll tell you and me to go out?" Yan Zhi continued to trick him, "And you think, even if the head of the Zuo family agrees to go out, it's always time to go back! I can't go out anymore, are you still going?"

"But," Qin Lan was still a little reluctant.

"If you think I am a brother, just go out with me," Yan Zhi played the emotional card, saying as if they were brothers who grew up wearing pairs of pants.

"But I am just a book boy! I don't have the right to decide for myself!" Qin Lan grabbed the point. Yan Zhi was the young master. When he went back, he could get scolded at most, and he might lose his skin.

"You think I have the right to decide for myself. From childhood to adulthood, they have made decisions for me. This time I finally seized the opportunity. I don't want to waste it in vain," Yan Zhi didn't want to give up the idea of ​​leaving the city, nor did he want to go out alone. After all, a teenager wanted to bring courage to the same age as his own. "Otherwise, you write a letter and go back, and I will go to Zuo Mansion with you, and say I forced you, okay!"

"I don't mean that," Qin Lan wanted to explain, he felt that Yan Zhi misunderstood his meaning.

"Can you go?" Yan Zhi looked at Qin Lan's glasses and said seriously.

Qin Lan looked at Yan Zhi's glasses, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, I have to write a letter."
