Overview
Lan Shaodi, a young man from the Lan family, gives out quests, and Soul runs into him at a hideout in the Village of Lu.
Describing himself, he says he is the son of the esteemed Lan family. Young Master Lan, the side tale he offers, takes its name from him and follows him out of the Village of Lu, into Pangzhen and to the manor he wants to reach.
Finding him takes little effort, yet losing the tale is easy. Before walking into Pangzhen, Soul must report back to him in the village, or the tale may be missed.

Role in the Story
Hideout in the Village of Lu
Start at Old Man Gen’s Hideout, drop off the bridge and scale the wall to arrive at Young Master Lan’s Hideout. Talking with Lan Shaodi there begins the quest.
The only road into Pangzhen, the smugglers' tunnel, has been closed, he says, after the Herald quarreled with his subordinate Dusk. He adds that the children under his care have spent well over a week at the manor and are likely running out of food. Report to him again when the Smuggler’s Tunnel is open, before stepping into Pangzhen.
Lan Manor Key
Go to the Pavilion of Knowledge Crossroads in Pangzhen and follow the road, which sets off an encounter with Lan Shaodi in which he gives you the Lan Manor Key. Rest at any Bell, then head back to the manor. Waiting outside are enemies; clear them, talk to him once more, and go into the manor to finish the quest.
While giving Soul the key, he says that nobody is able to take it away while Soul holds it.
