"Lan Yundiao, I didn't expect you to come," Lan Yundiao glanced deeply at Yu Linfeng. While others may not be aware of what happened in the past, he understood it all too well. This place, the Lan family, was probably the last place Yu Linfeng wanted to face.
Yu Linfeng smiled lightly, "I heard that tomorrow is the day you become the head of the Lan family. As a good brother, I naturally came to congratulate you."
"But you have such feelings towards this place..."
"The previous Lan family did disgust me, but now it's your Lan family, and that's different. With you and Hongzhuang here, I won't be able to avoid dealing with the Lan family in the future."
A gentle smile appeared on Yu Linfeng's face, exuding a sense of freedom. Lan Yundiao, as his brother, could naturally see that his carefree demeanor was genuine, not a façade.
"Thank you, brother!" Lan Yundiao embraced Yu Linfeng. He understood the humiliation Yu Linfeng had endured in the past, and now, seeing him willing to let go of that resentment, it was entirely for the sake of him and Hongzhuang. Just this alone showed Yu Linfeng's sincerity.
"Hongzhuang, I heard the news about you and your accomplishments here in the Infinite Palace. I have to say, you've done an excellent job!" Nangong Wu's eyes were filled with excitement. "Unfortunately, I couldn't witness it firsthand, but even just hearing about it is satisfying."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "That's because Grandfather has always supported us. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to stand against the entire Lan family."
"Let's all go inside and sit," Muling Bing said with a smile.
After hearing that Yu Linfeng's friend had arrived, Lan Hongtai and the others were surprised. They headed towards the main gate of the Lan family, wanting to know who the guest was.
However, when they saw Yu Linfeng, everyone's expressions froze. Despite the absence of the youthfulness and aloofness from before, they could still recognize his familiar face at a glance.
"Junchen?"
Lan Hongtai looked at Yu Linfeng in astonishment, his eyes filled with deep surprise. Since Junchen had left, he hadn't seen him again, never expecting him to appear today.
After seeing Lan Hongtai, Yu Linfeng's bright eyes also deepened for a moment before returning to normal. However, there was still a hint of distance in his expression.
Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen exchanged a glance, realizing that Yu Linfeng's previous name was Junchen.
Lan Borong stared at Yu Linfeng in a daze. His usually composed face was now filled with complex emotions, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Junchen..."
Yu Linfeng's face turned cold. "I am not Junchen; I am Yu Linfeng."
As soon as he spoke, Lan Borong and the others were taken aback, recalling the name Yu Linfeng and their expressions couldn't help but change.
"The Lord of the Infinite Palace, Yu Linfeng?"
"Indeed."
Baili Hongzhuang looked at the slightly awkward and strange atmosphere before speaking, "This is my master."
Lan Hongtai and the others still had strange expressions, but they nodded slightly with a hint of stiffness. "So, you're the Lord of the Infinite Palace, Yu Linfeng. We've heard of your great reputation."
The coldness on Yu Linfeng's face dissipated slightly. He glanced briefly at Lan Borong and the others before shifting his gaze to Lan Yundiao.
Lan Yundiao knew that the past grievances wouldn't disappear so easily. He immediately spoke, "Please come inside. You must be tired from your journey. Rest for a while."
