Chapter 564 Who Did the Bad Deed?
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "President Lan, I plan to visit your Lan family tomorrow."
"Really?" Lan Fenghuang asked with great joy.
Actually, after Chao Bufan left last night, she couldn't wait to tell her elders about meeting him. Her elders were overjoyed and were planning to send someone to meet Chao Bufan. Unexpectedly, Chao Bufan took the initiative to come to her door, which made Lan Fenghuang very happy.
Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said, "I came here to learn more about your Lan family. Could you tell me about it?"
“Of course,” Lan Fenghuang replied. “I wonder what Chairman Chao wants to know about our Lan family. As long as I, Lan Fenghuang, know the answer, I will tell you everything without reservation.”
Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "President Lan, your Lan family's time machine can travel to any era, right?"
Lan Fenghuang replied, "I'm not too sure about that either. After all, this time machine needs a sufficiently powerful magnetic disk."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "So, as long as there's a powerful enough magnetic disk, this time machine can take you back to the past you want, right?"
"Logically, that's how it should be, but for the actual situation, we'll have to ask my grandfather and the others," Lan Fenghuang said.
Chao Bufan nodded again and said, "President Lan, you told me yesterday that your Lan family is collecting martial arts from various dynasties. There must be another reason, right?"
“This…” Lan Fenghuang stammered, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to answer, but rather that she simply didn't know how to answer.
Chao Bufan glanced at Lan Fenghuang and smiled, "If President Lan has some unspeakable difficulties, just pretend I didn't ask."
Lan Fenghuang smiled bitterly and said, "Chairman Chao, you misunderstand. It's not that I'm unwilling to say it, but I'm afraid that if I do, Chairman Chao won't believe me."
"Oh?" Chao Bufan seemed intrigued and laughed, "How would President Lan know I wouldn't believe you if she didn't tell me?"
Lan Fenghuang pondered for a moment, then said, "It's like this, our Lan family is currently developing an automated system."
"What automatic system?" Chao Bufan asked.
“It’s an automated system related to martial arts,” Lan Fenghuang replied.
“I don’t understand,” Chao Bufan said, frowning slightly. “Could you be more specific?”
“I don’t know the specifics very well,” Lan Fenghuang said. “I only heard my grandfather mention it once. He said that they are currently developing a martial arts system that can automatically upgrade. This martial arts system does not require cultivation. You only need to input the cultivation formulas of various martial arts into the system, and the system will cultivate and upgrade automatically. Then, the system’s chip will be implanted into the human body or robot, so that the human or robot can reach the highest level of martial arts.”
"To improve one's cultivation without needing to cultivate? Is there such a thing as cultivation?" Chao Bufan asked, puzzled.
“I’m not quite sure either,” Lan Fenghuang replied. “I just heard it from my grandfather.”
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned deeply, wondering to himself, "Just what is the background of this Lan family? What kind of time machine and system do they have?"
Lan Fenghuang glanced at Chao Bufan and said, "Chairman Chao, you may not believe it, but our Lan family has been a famous family since the Western Han Dynasty. The various strange and escaping techniques that circulated in the Western Regions at that time originated from our Lan family. It's just that for some reason, some of these strange and escaping techniques have long been lost. That's why our ancestors had to collect all kinds of martial arts from all over the world and then extract the essence of each martial arts to pass on."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and said, "I've heard of some of the strange and unpredictable techniques of the Western Regions before, such as sorcery, poison, esoteric arts, puppetry, invisibility, and so on. Even the ninjutsu of Japan originated from the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty. Since your Lan family has been a martial arts family for generations, you should know about these things, right?"
Lan Fenghuang shook her head and said, "I only know it, but I don't understand it."
"Why?" Chao Bufan asked.
Lan Fenghuang replied, "Because in our Lan family, it has always been the case that men learn what women do."
"What do you mean?" Chao Bufan asked, puzzled.
"In other words, women of the Lan family have always been forbidden from practicing martial arts or cultivating any kind of martial arts; only men of the Lan family are qualified to do so," Lan Fenghuang said.
“I understand,” Chao Bufan nodded. “You mean it’s passed down only to sons, right?”
Lan Fenghuang nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean."
"Oh my god!" Chao Bufan cursed inwardly. "Why didn't you just say it's passed down to men but not women? Why did you have to spout all this nonsense? I'm getting tired of listening to it."
"Chairman Chao, are you really planning to visit the Lan family tomorrow?" Lan Fenghuang asked.
“I do have that plan,” Chao Bufan nodded, “but I don’t know your Lan family’s address, so I came to ask you.”
"Chairman Chao, I was planning to go home tomorrow anyway, why don't we go together?" Lan Fenghuang said happily.
“That works,” Chao Bufan said. “If you can take me there, that would be best, so I don’t wander around aimlessly.”
"Okay, it's settled then, Chairman Chao. I'll wait for your news."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "President Lan, it's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer." He then stood up.
"Take care, Mr. Chao, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Back home, Chao Bufan gave Tianyue a general overview of the Lan family's situation. Tianyue was naturally quite surprised and marveled at the incredible wisdom and intellect of humankind. She wondered if it were possible for humans to invent such an upgrade system, which would allow everyone to live forever.
The next morning, Cheng Xue woke up to find Chao Bufan sleeping next to her. She was startled and quickly lifted the covers to look. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: Thank goodness he didn't do anything to me while I was asleep last night.
Thinking about last night's candlelight dinner, Cheng Xue felt a surge of joy. Staring at Chao Bufan's face, she unconsciously became somewhat infatuated.
This guy is getting more and more handsome, hehe~
Thinking this to herself, she couldn't resist leaning in, intending to steal a kiss on Chao Bufan's cheek, but Chao Bufan suddenly turned to the side, and their lips ended up in close contact—
"ah!"
She was startled, and her pretty face immediately turned as red as two shy roses.
Chao Bufan revealed his extremely menacing smile and said, "What? You want to do something bad while I'm asleep?"
"I...I..." Cheng Xue was so shy that she couldn't even speak clearly. She stammered, then "humphed" and said, "Who...who did something bad?"
