This person is none other than the head of the Lan family, Lan Hongtai!
This was the first time Bai Li Hongzhuang had seen her grandfather. She could faintly recognize some resemblance to Lan Yunxiao in Lan Hongtai's weathered face, indicating that he must have been a handsome man in his youth.
Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't hold any resentment towards Lan Hongtai. She knew that he had suffered just as much in this matter as they did. The fact that Lan Hongtai had never passed the position of family head to Lan Jingkuang over the years indicated his deep remorse for what had happened.
Furthermore, she had heard from her father that Lan Hongtai had doted on her when she was young. Although she couldn't remember it, Lan Hongtai had shown her great affection.
However, after the incident, they had never seen each other again. Lan Yunxiao could let go of many things concerning the Lan family, but Lan Hongtai was always a concern in his heart.
In these past few days, Bai Li Hongzhuang had also learned from Di Beichen and Mo Yunjue that the current head of the Lan family, who held a high position, still cared about them deep inside.
When everyone saw Lan Hongtai arrive, they all wore expressions of surprise. It was unusual for the family head to personally attend to family matters these days.
The moment Lan Jingkuang saw Lan Hongtai, his face turned gloomy. As Lan Hongtai's son, how could he not know the reason behind his father's appearance? He must have come for Bai Li Hongzhuang!
Lan Yunxiao had been missing for so many years, but this old man, Lan Hongtai, had never given up searching for him. In Lan Hongtai's heart, Lan Jingkuang couldn't compare to his deceased son.
Lan Qingyan's eyes also showed surprise, but she soon smiled. Her grandfather must have come to support her. Yesterday, Bai Li Hongzhuang had been too arrogant, so today her grandfather, as the family head, had come to preside personally.
Lan Hongtai's gaze swept over everyone before lingering a few seconds longer on Bai Li Hongzhuang. Looking at her face that bore a striking resemblance, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
How good would it be if he could see Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing again in this lifetime!
However, he also understood that if Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing were still alive, they would have appeared long ago. Lan Yunxiao might bear grudges, but he wouldn't deny himself as their father.
As long as Lan Yixuan was still alive, Lan Hongtai would do everything in his power to take care of her!
Bai Li Hongzhuang could sense the mixture of affection and complexity in Lan Hongtai's gaze, and her heart trembled slightly.
The others were right; Lan Hongtai must have come today for her.
"Miss Bai Li, Prince Di, and Lord Mo, you are truly outstanding and extraordinary young talents. It's a pleasure to meet you today," Lan Hongtai said with a faint smile.
"Lan Family Head, you overestimate us," Bai Li Hongzhuang and the other two respectfully replied.
"This Ice Snow Divine Pool is our Lan family's heritage. The power within the pool can help cultivators break through to the Purple Realm. However, the power of the ice and snow is not something an ordinary person can endure. The three of you should be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others exchanged glances. They didn't have much knowledge about the Ice Snow Divine Pool. They had only understood its purpose, but they didn't know it would be so challenging.
