The innkeeper looked at the person in front of him and was momentarily surprised.
This was truly out of his expectations.
Since when did he become a dead person who was buried in the ground?
Everyone watched on nervously.
Actually, they didn't know if the innkeeper would be angry, but this scene really made them want to laugh.
But no one dared to show it.
In just a few breaths, the man had recovered.
He naturally knew what he had done.
He was at a loss.
“Senior, I, I, I didn't mean anything else,” he explained immediately.
He was afraid that if he explained it too late, his life would have been taken away.
“Next.” The aged voice of the innkeeper rang out.
However, he glared at that person.
This made the person frightened and he immediately lowered his head.
Then, he stepped aside.
From the innkeeper's reaction, the person could infer that he was not really angry. That was good news for him.
Jiang Lan walked over to the table and sat down.
The others looked at Jiang Lan, wondering if this Senior Brother from the Ninth Summit could succeed.
With such high cultivation, he should be able to succeed, right?
However, this test had nothing to do with cultivation.
They did not understand what this test was about either.
After Jiang Lan sat down, the cup returned to its original state, and the tea in it naturally disappeared.
Slosh.
Another half cup of tea was poured into the teacup.
“Drink.” The innkeeper looked at Jiang Lan.
He was also curious if Jiang Lan could drink it.
He could feel Jiang Lan's excellence.
Jiang Lan was truly extraordinary. If he was his disciple, he would be able to sleep peacefully every day.
Mo Zhengdong was really lucky.
Jiang Lan nodded and looked at the teacup on the table.
He didn't think too much, nor did he sense anything.
He then reached for the teacup.
This was something that everyone would do.
However, when Jiang Lan picked up the teacup, he felt countless scenes flash through his mind.
What he saw first were the days he had spent in seclusion and the days of living in the Ninth Summit.
It felt as if the happy or scary affairs that had happened in his life would be magnified.
Such as when he encountered a dangerous enemy.
However, no matter how striking the affair was, he still watched on calmly.
Killing Feng Ji, fighting Miao Xiu, and watching the ceremony at the Jade Pool.
One scene after another appeared.
What surprised Jiang Lan was that his meeting with Ao Longyu at the Jade Pool was also made very obvious. She was like a ray of light trying to influence him.
It was probably because she was pretty.
Or perhaps, among all the people he knew, she was the most beautiful.
Yes, he had only seen slightly more than two Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters. In fact, he had only conversed with around three of them.
Ao Longyu was the most beautiful out of the three.
Subsequently, Jiang Lan continued looking at what happened decades ago to what had happened a hundred years ago.
During these few years, his life was pretty plain. He was either in seclusion or taking care of the Ninth Summit. Occasionally, he would go out to resolve some issues.
The scene then played back to his tenth year of entering the sect where his master had asked him to kneel down to accept him as his personal disciple.
Jiang Lan was elated.
It wasn't because he had become a personal disciple, but he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It was as if the matter of his master asking him to buy wine for him and making him kneel down to pay respects had just happened yesterday.
The feeling was not annoying at all.
The feeling was magnified even more now, but he was still very calm.
At this time, the innkeeper was looking at Jiang Lan, but the teacup in Jiang Lan's hand remained unchanged.
He continued to think back to the time when he activated his system. This was an affair to be happy about. However, he only felt calmness when seeing this scene.
Therefore, the supposed feeling of happiness did not affect him at all.
Time flashed forward. His ordinary life in this world had almost been completely recalled.
Then, the scene started to play out what had happened in his previous life.
As time pa.s.sed, he heard a familiar voice.
“Jiang Lan, school starts tomorrow.”
When he heard this voice, Jiang Lan felt extremely moved. However, his heart was still calm, as if he returned to that time.
It was as if he was going to cla.s.s tomorrow.
The long holiday had just ended and he was looking forward to the school reopening.
Soon, the familiar voice sounded again.
“Have you done your summer homework?”
In that instant, Jiang Lan's hand trembled.
The half cup of tea almost spilled out.
Everyone's hearts trembled. They thought Jiang Lan was going to fail.
The innkeeper looked at Jiang Lan and was a bit surprised. Jiang Lan had merely trembled a bit.
Once one was affected by one's memories, it would be difficult to suppress them.
People with good temperaments were more or less immune to tea.
However, if one was affected by one's memories, no matter how good one's mental state was, it would be useless.
“What did he recall that could have caused his hand to tremble?” The innkeeper was a bit curious.
At this moment, Jiang Lan finished recalling his entire life.
He saw the final match that he did not win. He saw the last portion of the food that he wanted to eat being bought by someone in front of him. He saw that he did not do well in that important exam. He saw that he did not bid farewell to his cla.s.smates when he graduated.
He also saw the watch that he had drawn on his hand when he was young. It had never moved, but those times were one of the best parts of his life.
After recalling everything, Jiang Lan sobered up. In the end, he looked at the teacup in his hand that didn't spill any tea.
He felt a little emotional.
In his previous life, he did not have many regrets, even though his life was a little b.u.mpy.
He shouldn't have any regrets in this life too, but his life this time might be even b.u.mpier.
However, he would face all the problems head-on.
Jiang Lan raised his hand and drained the tea in one gulp.
The tea tasted bitter and sweet.
At this moment, he felt as if his soul was blessed.
A trace of enlightenment appeared in his mind.
It was as if in just that fleeting moment, thousands of years had pa.s.sed by.
Small things in this world would disappear in an instant. Only the blue sea and fields would continuously be renewed.
Everyone saw Jiang Lan drink the tea. They didn't know what Jiang Lan had experienced, but they were surprised that he managed to drink the tea.
But something even more unexpected happened.
They suddenly felt the surroundings become quiet.
Then they were affected by the silence around them.
Everyone could see their past in their eyes.
The feeling of enlightenment emerged from the bottom of their hearts.
They had also received a blessing to their souls and gained enlightenment on the spot.
Xiao Yu walked towards the old wine tavern. He wanted to see if Jiang Lan was in the inn.
But halfway there, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded in Kunlun.
Xiaoyu looked at Kunlun in surprise.
“What had just happened?”
She had understood the dragon's roar earlier, as if it was saying, “You guys are simply too daring.”
After the dragon's roar, a sword beam shot out from Kunlun.
The powerful force shook the heavens and earth.
“They're fighting?”
Xiao Yu was shocked. She never expected the dragon and Kunlun to start a fight.
Following that, another dragon roar rang out, as though saying, “You dare to kill me?”
He looked furious.
After that, all that remained was silence.
Xiao Yu looked in the direction of Kunlun with some confusion.
She was a little worried, but she definitely couldn't get close.
In the end, she decided to return the items she owed to Jiang Lan first before she went to ask around to see if she could find out anything about what had just happened.
Xiao Yu walked towards the old wine tavern.
Soon, she arrived at the old inn. However, she was surprised when she entered.
There was an aura of enlightenment inside.
There were nine people inside.
Standing in the middle was a man drinking tea.
He maintained the posture of drinking tea like a statue.
It was the Jiang Lan that Xiao Yu was looking for.
“Do you want to give it a try too?”
The innkeeper came to the outermost table and asked Xiao Yu.
