Although he was asking, Lan Hongtai didn't seem too concerned at the moment.
Lan Borong shook his head and said, "In the Battle of Hegemony, Qingyan encountered an unexpected opponent and had his right arm disabled, which affected his strength. That's why we only ranked twentieth."
Lan Hongtai furrowed his brows. "It has been many years since our Lan family faced such a situation. What remarkable talent has emerged among the younger generation?"
The results of the Battle of Hegemony would impact the family's development in the coming years. Learning about the family's poor ranking, Lan Hongtai couldn't help but show a change in expression.
"The Young Palace Master of Wuji Palace, Bai Li Hongzhuang, is very formidable. She has never appeared as the Young Palace Master of Wuji Palace before," Lan Borong explained.
His voice was filled with admiration and appreciation. Despite the unfavorable relationship between Wuji Palace and the Lan family, Bai Li Hongzhuang's achievements were worthy of recognition by anyone.
Listening to Lan Borong's words, Lan Hongtai's gaze turned deep as he remembered the past.
"Back then, Yun Xiao achieved similarly impressive results when he first led a team in the Battle of Hegemony. But after Yun Xiao's absence, our Lan family never competed for the top again."
Lan Hongtai's voice was filled with nostalgia and sadness. Yun Xiao was his most proud son.
Not only was he powerful and diligent in his cultivation, but he was also extremely friendly. That's why Yun Xiao easily gained the admiration of the entire family.
At a young age, he had secured the position of the Young Master, and no one could challenge him.
Under Yun Xiao's leadership as the Young Master, the Lan family had gradually grown stronger.
Lan Hongtai couldn't help but think that if Yun Xiao were still alive, the Lan family would be even more prosperous now.
He, as an old man, could focus on cultivation and not worry about mundane affairs.
From childhood to adulthood, Yun Xiao had always been so sensible, making him Lan Hongtai's greatest pride in life.
But unfortunately, he failed to protect his own son, allowing his granddaughter to suffer such grievance.
Although Lan Hongtai had always been proud of Yun Xiao, he had not overlooked Lan Jingkuang. He never expected Lan Jingkuang to do such monstrous things. He was truly a beast!
He had once wanted to personally kill that ingrate, but all the elders in the clan had stopped him.
He had only Yun Xiao and Lan Jingkuang as his two sons. If both of them died, there would be no one to succeed the position of the family head.
In reality, he didn't care about that. He only wanted to personally deal with that unfilial son. However, as the head of a prestigious family, he couldn't act recklessly. But at the very least, he wouldn't give up his position as the family head, and no one would dare to question that!
Lan Borong looked at Lan Hongtai, who couldn't help but feel sad whenever Yun Xiao was mentioned. He also felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.
The past was truly something to be nostalgic about.
"Family Head, I actually discovered something in the Battle of Hegemony, but I can't confirm it yet," Lan Borong slowly spoke. Seeing Lan Hongtai in such a sorrowful state, he couldn't help but doubt whether he should tell him this news.
If the final result turns out to be negative, Lan Hongtai would undoubtedly be even more heartbroken.
