In the end, Gu Lan still did not compromise, although he made a significant concession. Regarding the Blood Clan, he felt it was better to avoid getting too involved. The most important thing was that he didn't want to be manipulated by Xue Lengyan. Even though she had been of great help to him, he was not willing to have too much to do with her.
Upon hearing this, Xue Lengyan's expression shifted slightly. However, her change in demeanor was subtle. She eventually smiled faintly and nodded.
"Then it's settled."
Gu Lan's strength was unexpectedly terrifying, and with him around, whatever she wanted to achieve wouldn't be an issue.
Gu Lan, however, was not concerned with these matters. Even if he were to help her suppress the situation, it would have to wait until later. What mattered most to him right now was how Lanyan Royal School would navigate through the current crisis.
"I agree to help you, but how will you assist me?" Gu Lan asked.
