That's What Villains Are Like

The mountains are vast and strange fog surges.

At the mouth of the abyss, the woman in white stood quietly, with a stunned look on her fairy-like face under the veil.

She was silent, and after a long time, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Leave the Island of No Return and set foot on the road to Zhongtian State.

She has been thinking about how to face Jiang Lan and how to explain what happened.

All kinds of things flashed through her mind like running water every moment, and finally turned into heartbreaking pain and despair.

In her previous life on this timeline, she had never understood many things, nor had she wanted to understand them.

Her mind was filled only with pain and hatred.

The paranoid idea of ​​revenge became her only motivation to continue practicing.

So in this life, when she entered Daxia, she began to deliberately collect and investigate Jiang Lan's many actions and information over the years.

But no matter which one she heard or which piece of news she got, it made her heart hurt even more, and she became more helpless and confused.

The most powerful man in the Xia Dynasty was indulgent, sensual, evil, arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women... No matter who heard his name, they were filled with disgust and avoided him like a snake or a scorpion.

More people even cursed without restraint, saying bluntly that he was a useless second generation ancestor who only relied on the power of the Prime Minister.

If it weren't for the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would have died countless times.

Every time she heard these curses and disgust, her heart felt stinging.

Even though she had reached the top of the world in her previous life, overlooking all living beings, the deep powerlessness, regret and self-blame still made her dizzy and almost unsteady.

When he was young, he was the object of admiration of many young girls. He was humble, polite, and as gentle as jade.

Even just a polite smile would make the girls who peeked at him blush and their hearts beat, causing them to toss and turn and find it difficult to sleep.

All the maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion affectionately call him Master Lan. He is polite to everyone and never punishes anyone.

Sometimes, when faced with some bold maids teasing them secretly, they would be shy, and then they would worry about their parents punishing those maids, so they would secretly help them cover up the past.

And facing himself, he is even more obedient and well-behaved...

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the most coveted husband of all women in the world. He is as rich as jade, gentle and humble, has a prominent family background, powerful talents, and profound cultivation.

I will marry him as promised and live a life of harmony and kindness.

But... there are no ifs in this world.

Even if she finds a time cicada that can travel through the long river of time, she still can't go back to that past and change that time.

Why didn't she think carefully about why he became a useless person in her previous life?

At that time, he was still a dazzling and dazzling figure of genius, so how could he let himself down and sink to the point where everyone yelled at him and hated him and retreated from him?

No, she actually thought about it in her previous life, but her cowardice in not facing the truth made her choose to turn a blind eye.

She should bear all the backlash and pain.

"If you were like me and were reborn from the future to this life, you would probably come to me for revenge, right..."

"I deserve this bitter pill."

"No matter what, I'm willing to accept it. I don't expect you to forgive me, but you shouldn't fall into the mortal world like this, let alone abandon yourself because of me..."

The woman in white murmured softly, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the vast mountains.

Although she guessed that Jiang Lan might be reborn from the future like her, she still needed something to verify.

There are many wonderful truths and mysteries in the world. Sometimes, the so-called rebirth may just be a glimpse of a fragment of the future by chance.

Like her, she chooses to travel through the long river of time and go back to the past.

If you don't have the courage to endure the great cause and effect, you will be crushed into powder by the boundless power the moment you step into the long river of time.

In his previous life, Jiang Lan didn't have the same cultivation strength as hers, and secondly, he didn't have the wonders of heaven and earth and the unparalleled opportunities, so how could he be reborn and go back to the past?

So she guessed that Jiang Lan accidentally glimpsed a fragment of the future due to some unknown reasons.

Since she set foot in the future and returned to this period, in a sense, she has disrupted the original timeline.

So when she entered the river of time, it was already destined that the original timeline had disappeared and changed.

The flapping of a butterfly's wings is enough to cause a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and in her previous life, she was a near-immortal existence in the true sense.

From the moment she returned to the past, the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The correction power of the original world line will make the trajectory straighten out and move closer to the established trajectory.

Therefore, she can completely understand the unexpected changes in the fate of many people.

…

Half a month later, the capital of Daxia.

Jingyang City.

A painted boat shrouded in mist sped down from outside the sky, followed by a mighty group of knights who also quickly arrived.

Many monks and creatures who saw this scene couldn't help but curse in secret, understanding that it was the scourge of the Prime Minister's Mansion who had returned.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, mist drifted, and the rays of sunlight steamed upstairs near the lake courtyard.

The jade table in front of you is filled with many delicacies and delicacies, their aromas are alluring and make you want to eat.

Prime Minister Jiang Lintian and his wife Li Qingshu have been waiting here.

Rows of maids stood on both sides, standing with their heads bowed and their expressions submissive. Even if they were only responsible for serving wine and food, they still had good cultivation skills.

"Madam, don't worry, Lan'er should be here soon." Xiang Guo Jiang Lintian said with a smile.

"I haven't seen Lan'er for many days, so naturally I miss you very much. I personally put aside all the matters with the Li family just to rush back and see Lan'er. Do you want me not to be in a hurry?"

When Li Qingshu heard this, she gave him a slight look.

She has a beautiful face and is dressed in a loose robe with few accessories, showing no signs of age.

But if you look closely, you will find that her face is blurry and ordinary. If you look closer, you can't even remember what she looks like.

As a former saint of the Taiyi Sect, her current cultivation level has already reached an unfathomable level.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to get a glimpse of their true appearance.

Jiang Lintian smiled. He knew that his wife said this mainly because she learned from the summons that Jiang Lan's heart knot was resolved, so she made a special trip back to her clan.

Although she seemed calm at the moment, he could still feel some tension in her.

After all, Jiang Lan's knot in her heart can be said to have been caused by her, and she has often fallen into self-blame, regret, and pain over the years.

Knowing that Jiang Lan's heart knot was resolved, she was naturally more excited and happy than anyone else, but of course she was also worried... This was just a rumor, so she had to see it with her own eyes.

"Sir, the master and his wife have prepared a banquet and are waiting for you at Biyunxuan."

Jiang Lan, who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, rushed to the inner mansion under the leadership of the housekeeper.

The housekeeper is a silver-haired but energetic old man. He is very kind when he smiles, and his eyes are completely narrowed.

But only those who know him well know that he is a powerful man with six levels of cultivation, who is enough to serve as the governor of a county in the outside world.

"Father, mother, they must have been waiting for a long time." Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

Behind him followed Su Qinghan, who had been carefully combed, dressed up and lightly put on makeup. She secretly pinched the sleeves of her skirt with her jade hands.

From the moment she stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt nervous.

She was dazzled by the luxurious and majestic scenery she saw, and was shocked and surprised in her heart. However, in order to maintain as much courtesy as possible and not embarrass Jiang Lan, she still lowered her eyes and followed without looking much.

Compared with the Xiangguo Mansion, which is magnificent and has endless palaces, palaces and buildings in front of us, the Su family in Yuyi City is really no different from an ordinary blue brick house.

It is not even qualified for comparison. Every jade brick, glazed tile, and ancient golden wood beam with carved beams and paintings all shows its profound heritage.

Not to mention that after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were several powerful auras secretly sweeping over her body.

Just the pavilions and corridors he walked along were engraved with formation restrictions and exuded a good wave of energy.

Su Qinghan boasted that he had seen a lot of the world, but today he was still shocked by the grandeur of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his heart trembled slightly.

From today on, after she met Jiang Lan's parents, she became a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

All kinds of complicated emotions flashed through her heart, making her still feel dazed.

However, compared to this scene, the next scene where she was going to meet Xiangguo and Xiangguo's wife in person made her feel nervous.

Because she was not sure whether the forbidden aura left by her master Yu Qing on her body would be noticed.

She simply didn't dare to think about the consequences if she was discovered.

Although Jiang Lan comforted her along the way, telling her not to worry too much when the time comes, to act calmly and just treat it as usual.

But... this is the Prime Minister, standing tall in the entire Daxia, and even the most powerful person in the entire Zhongtian State.

She was just Miss Su from Yuyi City, an inconspicuous little person... How could she be treated like an ordinary person?

According to rumors, the opponent's strength has already reached the level of a ghost. Is it true that he can't detect anything unusual about her?

At this time, he seemed to feel Su Qinghan's nervousness.

Jiang Lan, who was walking in front, paused briefly, stretched out his hand and held her little hand, which was cold and sweaty.

"It's not like your character to be so nervous." Jiang Lan said.

"Sir, I..."

Su Qinghan pursed his lips, feeling the warmth coming from his hands, and tried to stay calm, but his voice still inevitably trembled.

"Don't worry, my father and mother are all excellent people. Just keep a normal mind. Don't forget that I am by your side." Jiang Lan said as softly as possible.

He naturally knew why Su Qinghan was nervous.

If she hadn't met Master Yuqing, no matter how nervous she was, her little hands wouldn't be so cold now.

But now that she knows the hostile relationship between Zhenren Yuqing and Xiang Guofu, how can she deal with it with a normal heart.

If his parents knew that she had been in contact with Master Yuqing and kept it secret from him, how would they guess that she was a pawn placed by Master Yuqing next to him?

Jiang Lan had a clear idea. When he was in Yuyi City, he had guessed that Master Yuqing had been looking for Su Qinghan.

However, he didn't mention anything later, and showed that even though he knew that Su Qinghan was hiding something from him, he didn't ask questions and trusted her very much.

And he did this to wait for this day.

Although Su Qinghan accepted her current identity and recognized herself, it was still far from what Jiang Lan wanted.

Su Qinghan has not yet reached the point of being completely obedient to him and obeying his words, or even betraying Master Yuqing.

"Master..."

Seeing Jiang Lan's behavior, although Su Qinghan was moved, he was still in a state of pain that he couldn't express.

During this period of time, Jiang Lan had been really good to her, and after she revealed her heart, he took great care of her.

Even though he knew that she was hiding something from him, he did not interfere or force her, but chose to trust her as always.

"I know what you want to say..."

"You should have already come into contact with Master Yuqing and understand her identity. Don't worry, I will help you cover up your parents."

"It doesn't matter even if they see it." Jiang Lan smiled at her and comforted her.

"I'm sorry, sir, I've been hiding this from you..."

There seemed to be some mist in Su Qinghan's clear eyes, and her slightly cold hands held him tightly, as if she didn't want to let go for the rest of her life.

"It's okay, I can understand."

"I believe you too."

Jiang Lan replied, feeling the luck surge again in Niwan Palace, he understood that everything he had done during this period was worth it.

If he wants to capture Su Qinghan's heart, just getting along for a while is definitely not enough. He will definitely not treat her well, care for her, and trust her for no reason.

Like this moment, when she feels helpless and scared, if you give her the greatest touch, the balance in her heart will always tilt to her side.

Master Yuqing wanted to place her beside him, but he actually didn't need to do anything. Su Qinghan would naturally help him to deal with her master...

"My child, I have met my father and mother."

In the courtyard, Jiang Lan led Su Qinghan to salute.

Li Mengning, who had never shown up, came out at this moment and saluted the two of them.

Because of Chu Chan's status, Jiang Lan did not ask her to follow him. Instead, he asked her to follow Ling Zhuyun back to the Yaochi Sect.

If you follow him, it will affect and limit Chu Chan's development.

"Lan'er doesn't have to be polite."

Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu both had smiles on their faces. In fact, when they saw Jiang Lan approaching from a distance, they had already noticed the changes in him.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of energy, energy, and demeanor, there have been earth-shaking changes compared to the days when he was living despondently.

His posture is calm and confident when he walks, and he has the demeanor of a noble gentleman in a true sense.

There is a sense of Taoism and Heavenly Harmony in his movements, and the auras of heaven and earth are swarming towards him like swallows returning to their nests.

At this moment, both of them seemed to be in a trance. Jiang Lan looked like this many years ago, confident, calm, and gentle.

"came back……"

"It's Lan'er who's back..."

Both of them felt uncontrollably excited and happy.

As a mother, Li Qingshu's eyes were a little moist, but they were quickly dried by her magic power, and no one could notice it.

As for Su Qinghan, who seemed a little awkward and nervous following Jiang Lan, they subconsciously ignored him and didn't pay much attention.

If it weren't for their master Yuqing Zhenren, they wouldn't even look at such an ordinary little girl.

Just thinking that such a little girl from an ordinary family could climb a high branch and become Jiang Lan's concubine.

As a mother, Li Qingshu felt a little uncomfortable and tried not to look at her to avoid being upset.

How can a little girl like this be worthy?

"These are the dishes you have always loved, Lan'er. My mother knew you were coming back, so she specially asked Chef Ling to prepare them for you early. Eat them while they are hot. They will cool down after a while."

"You see you have lost a lot of weight..."

After Jiang Lan sat down, Li Qingshu picked up the dishes for him, her words full of doting.

"The mother also eats, and the children take care of themselves."

Jiang Lan smiled, not to mention anything else, the love his parents gave him, no, it should be doting, it was engraved in his bones.

Anyone can feel that strong feeling of doting.

Jiang Lintian looked at this scene and shook his head with a smile. He hadn't seen such a smile on his wife's face for a long time.

"Lan'er used to like to eat the blue water golden dragon crabs. These crabs are more than five hundred years old. I specially asked the Merchant Alliance to keep them..."

"How do you like it?"

With a smile on his face, Jiang Lintian lifted his sleeve robe with one hand and took some vegetables for Jiang Lan with the other hand.

"The blue water golden dragon crab that my father chose must taste extremely fresh and sweet."

"Qinghan, don't stand still. Sit down, father and mother. This is the Qinghan I told you in the messenger jade talisman..."

Jiang Lan also asked Su Qinghan to sit down.

However, both Li Qingshu and Jiang Lintian just nodded casually and did not pay much attention to Su Qinghan.

With their status, they can clearly investigate the affairs of many generations of Su Qinghan's ancestors.

Su Qinghan had already expected this casual and dismissive attitude.

Instead, he felt much more relaxed and silently sat down next to Jiang Lan, but he was still a little cautious.

Li Mengning, on the other hand, had long been accustomed to this kind of scene. She picked up her jade chopsticks and silently tasted the various dishes in front of her.

"Eat..." Seeing her not moving her chopsticks, Li Mengning reminded her kindly.

Su Qinghan's heart froze slightly, and then he followed her example and worked silently.

I have to say that he is indeed a talented chef specially hired by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and every dish tastes excellent.

Even though she was a bit picky in the Su Mansion before, she couldn't find any fault with him.

Not to mention that these ingredients are all taken from various rare spiritual birds and animals. Outside, just a piece of meat would probably fetch a sky-high price.

Su Qinghan finally realized what it means to make white jade the best in the palace. Compared with these, what did the medicinal food he had eaten before mean?

Of course, compared to such sighs, she was more envious.

Whether it is the Prime Minister Jiang Lintian in front of him or his wife Li Qingshu, they are both well-known ruthless people in Daxia.

But how do they look like they are ruthless?

Especially when I think about the fact that the middle-aged man is still the prime minister of the dynasty and has all the power. Every stamp of his feet can cause earthquakes in the Great Xia Dynasty, and a single sentence can make countless heads roll.

He is even called a wolf by many of his colleagues, and is known for his harsh methods and cold-blooded cruelty.

If many ministers saw such a gentle and smiling expression on his face at this moment, would they be surprised and unbelievable?

With Su Qinghan, an outsider, Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu did not ask much about Jiang Lan, but only asked about his experiences outside during this period.

Jiang Lan also answered "honestly" and told him how to obtain the inheritance of True Lord Zixia with the help of Chu Chan.

Anyway, they must have already understood what happened, he just omitted many relevant things.

As for the three scriptures he had obtained, he thought about it and did not hide them. He wrote them on the jade slips with his spiritual thoughts and handed them to the two of them.

With their current level of cultivation, they wouldn't be able to use it, but if they could use this to prove it, they might gain something unexpected.

And the origin of the wordless book in it is even more mysterious. For the two of them to reach this point, they cannot be stupid people, they must be able to comprehend something.

Although Jiang Lan is selfish and puts personal interests first, the stronger his parents are, it is naturally a good thing for him.

This is not the first time he has done something like sharing the Wordless Bible.

When I was in Anyang City, I burned a copy of it and gave it to Li Mengning.

He never hesitates to give benefits to people who are trustworthy and can be used by him, not to mention that in his opinion, what can be understood from the wordless book is also a matter of personal fate.

"Lan'er, you did get a lot of opportunities and benefits this time, but you should try not to show it to others, such as inheritance and fortune."

Li Qingshu and Jiang Lintian only wanted to ask about Jiang Lan's situation and find some topics to talk about.

But I didn't expect him to create the opportunity he got from it for them to watch.

The two of them have been able to get to this point, and the opportunities and blessings they have received will naturally be great, but they don't care about this.

"Parents are not outsiders, children know what they are doing," Jiang Lan said.

"You kid..."

Li Qingshu smiled helplessly and didn't bother to check the inheritance and good fortune in the jade slip. She accepted it as if it was Jiang Lan's intention.

Jiang Lintian poked out a ray of consciousness and went in, then was slightly startled, and the expression on his face also changed slightly.

"What's wrong, husband?" Li Qingshu noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Lintian glanced at Jiang Lan, then waved his hand, and the surrounding maids immediately retreated.

When Su Qinghan saw this, he stood up and left wisely, understanding what might be involved, which made Xiang Guo's expression suddenly become cautious.

"Madam, there is a page of a wordless book in it."

After everyone retreated, Jiang Lincai raised his hand and put up a barrier to prevent anyone from being able to detect and notice.

"Wordless Heavenly Book?"

Li Qingshu was slightly startled, then realized what he was talking about, frowned, and penetrated the jade slip with her spiritual mind.

"I didn't expect that..."

"Lan'er unexpectedly got a page of wordless heavenly book by some mistake." Jiang Lintian shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

After Li Qingshu found out clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It is indeed a wordless heavenly book."

"It was a real surprise."

Jiang Lan did not expect that the two people reacted so strongly, but why was there no record of the Wordless Book in the original plot?

The two of them saw that he seemed a little confused, so they explained to him.

"The Wordless Heavenly Book has nine pages in total. It is said that it came down from the Immortal Realm."

"Each page of the wordless heavenly book records an innate immortal pattern. The power of the innate immortal pattern is so vast that ordinary monks cannot comprehend it even if they obtain it. Only by condensing the foundation of ascension can they gradually comprehend and control... …”

"Your father and I once got a page from the Kunlun Fairy Ruins, and your grandfather also got a page. Now, including the page you got, there are three pages."

"If you can obtain the complete Heavenly Book of Heavenly Characters, you will be able to obtain a complete inheritance of immortal arts in the true sense, which is the true foundation of immortality and immortality."

"Nowadays, there are no traces of immortals in the land of Jiuzhou. The main reason is because there is no complete inheritance of immortal arts. Even if one has reached a certain level of cultivation, it is difficult to communicate with the world and reflect the immortal gate..."

Jiang Lan was slightly startled when he heard this.

It's a pity that he didn't pay attention to the subsequent plot because the water flooded the Jinshan Mountain. Otherwise, it would have been able to confirm the truth of these rumors.

However, his mother's words made him understand.

Why did the ancient vine leaves not bring much change to him after absorbing the Wordless Heavenly Book?

It turns out that the cultivation level is not enough, and the foundation of feathering is already a level that can only be achieved by the feathering realm.

"I will bring you the other two pages of rubbings from the Wordless Heavenly Book later. Since Lan'er has such a good fortune, it means that the Wordless Heavenly Book is destined to you."

"Perhaps you can gain some insights from it." Li Qingshu said again.

Jiang Lan nodded.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, he also talked about his own affairs.

After all, if you keep hiding it, problems will eventually arise, and the best way is to tell the truth and lies.

"Father, mother, you may still be a little confused now, why I took the initiative to plan the inheritance and creation of Zhenjun Zixia, and went to get the Immortal Fetus Dew of Creation..."

"Do you think there is a long river of time in this world?"

Jiang Lan's expression became serious, and he looked at the two of them, speaking almost word by word.

Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu also looked cautious at this time.

With their current strength and status, they naturally know that there is a long river of time in this world.

It's just that ordinary people, let alone seeing it, even want to contact it, is impossible.

Unless you are a true immortal, I am afraid that you are qualified to touch the river of time.

"The child had a dream before. In the dream, there was a river that ran through the entire space, time and world. It was calm and waveless, but shimmering. One of the waves suddenly stirred up, slapped towards me, and then exploded into countless waves. fragments of..."

"From one of the fragments, I saw myself, the past, and the future..."

Jiang Lan said calmly.

Although the tone in which he said this was calm and even without any ups and downs, it made Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu feel shocked and shocked.

The two looked at each other and both guessed that the river might be the river of time that Jiang Lan just mentioned.

At this moment, Jiang Lan's breath and soul fluctuations were all stable, and even the breath of life and the speed of blood flowing in his veins remained unchanged, indicating that he was not lying.

He really saw such a river.

"Lan'er, what else did you see..."

Li Qingshu's voice trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something. When Jiang Lan said that he had seen the past, her heart suddenly jumped.

Jiang Lintian was silent and stretched out his hand to hold her.

Jiang Lan suddenly smiled, looked at her and said, "Mom, I understand your painstaking efforts. My child has never resented you..."

Although he said this, it was still in the memory of the original person, and even included in the plot he learned.

Even if the original person knew the truth of what happened, he never had any resentment towards his mother, and was even willing to bear the sins.

"You...you already know..." Li Qingshu was stunned, with a wry smile of self-blame appearing on the corner of her mouth.

In order to prevent Jiang Lan from knowing all that, she deliberately sealed that part of his memory. Unfortunately, who knew that by some mistake, he would understand everything that happened.

"I saw everything that happened back then, and I understand your hard work, mother, so mother, you don't have to blame yourself..."

Jiang Lan said, "Things in the past are no longer important. In the fragments of time in the future, I saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion was destroyed, and the Taiyi Sect where my grandpa lived was reduced to ruins. I was also killed by a man named Lin Fan. People were killed..."

Li Qingshu and Jiang Lintian were both stunned.

If Jiang Lan hadn't said this himself, they would all be in disbelief.

The Xiangguo Mansion and the Taiyi Sect were both destroyed and disappeared in the future?

Naturally, they are unlikely to end well.

"Is Lin Fan the former husband-in-law of Su Qinghan?"

Jiang Lintian had people investigate Su Qinghan, so he had some impressions of his husband Lin Fan, who was regarded as an assassin.

Most people may really think that Lin Fan is a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect, but in the eyes of a person like him, with the truth of many investigations before his eyes, it is naturally impossible to regard him as a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect.

On the contrary, it looked like Jiang Lan deliberately set up such a trap in order to kill Lin Fan.

"So this is the reason why you want to kill Lin Fan, Lan'er?"

"He is just a minor son-in-law of the Su family in Yuyi City. Is he really that capable?" Jiang Lintian asked.

The strength Lin Fan showed was at the fourth or fifth level at most.

Although there are many special methods, the weak can defeat the strong.

But if the Prime Minister's Mansion is determined to kill him, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he can be cut into pieces and his body and soul will be destroyed.

"I don't know why, but those pictures are not complete, but Lin Fan himself is indeed extraordinary. He has the wisdom from his previous life and is accompanied by great luck..."

"Father, mother, you will definitely know this thing when you see it." Jiang Lan said.

He raised his hand casually, and with a clang, an ancient long sword with some mottled marks fell to the ground.

"This is Lin Fan's companion sword. I kept it after his death..."

When the two saw this, they made a move and the sword fell into their hands.

Although its spirituality has dissipated, its terrifying edge can still be felt.

The forging materials alone are not simple. It is impossible to know how old it is just by judging at a glance.

Jiang Lintian tried to squeeze it, but the sword did not move at all, and there was not even a slight tremor on it.

You must know his strength. If you pinch it casually, even any magical weapon will break instantly.

But such an ordinary-looking, featureless long sword was able to remain unscathed.

An adopted son-in-law of the Su family in Yuyi City, recognized by this sword companion, would definitely not be a simple character.

"My child didn't give Lin Fan a chance to grow up. Since he wants to destroy our Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, I will find a way to deal with him first."

"At that time, I was in a hurry and couldn't explain the matter to my parents. I was also afraid that Lin Fan would be alert and notice something was wrong and take the opportunity to escape, causing serious trouble, so I took the opportunity to set up a trap..." Jiang Lan continued to explain.

He had already thought about these statements on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. His parents were not ordinary people, but the most powerful people standing at the pinnacle of the world.

Ordinary rhetoric will only arouse their suspicion, which will be counterproductive.

So what he said, half true and half false, could not only dispel some of their concerns and doubts, but also explain his own motives.

After all, the series of things he did were already contrary to his original temperament and habits over the years. Unless his parents were really fools, how could they not be suspicious?

Untie your heart knot?

How to untie your heart knot for no reason? The original person had experienced a lot of assassinations and dangers, but because of what happened in Yuyi City, he suddenly had an idea and figured it out all of a sudden?

Even if the parents didn't notice the abnormality of his body being taken away, they would still wonder if it was an unknown method...

Jiang Lan undoubtedly believes that the statement of the long river of time is the most appropriate and the easiest to explain and understand.

If his mother had not left a seal in his original sea of ​​​​consciousness, Jiang Lan could also say that it was because that part of the seal was accidentally broken open. He clearly understood the cause of the incident, so he decided to learn from the pain, repent, and start a new life...

But obviously, his mother knew very well whether that part of the seal had been broken open.

Speaking of which, the biggest reason is because the parents are not ordinary people.

Their vision and strength are destined to know more secrets than ordinary people. It is basically impossible to fool them casually...

"The matter of the passage of time is deeply involved. Lan'er, remember not to mention it to anyone again."

Li Qingshu and Jiang Lintian quickly recovered from the complicated and shocking emotions just now.

After all, no one would believe something like the passage of time, but it would cause a lot of trouble.

As for the reasons mentioned by Jiang Lan, they did not doubt it, because this was what they had always wondered about.

If Jiang Lan was possessed by someone else, the many restraints they had left would definitely react.

But judging from the results, he did not have such a problem.

But this kind of accidental glimpse of the future was something they had never expected.

Jiang Lan's explanation, coupled with the mysterious sword of extraordinary origin, convinced them all of his statement. "

This in itself is a great blessing and opportunity. Lan'er's fate was not meant to be like this, but God was merciful and resolved this knot in his mind. "

Many doubts in the two people's minds were eliminated, and they felt extremely comfortable and excited this time.

"I know what I'm saying, I'm just saying this because I don't want you to worry," Jiang Lan said.

After this explanation, what he does next will be simpler and calmer.

And his parents will definitely give him the greatest help.

Jiang Lan's biggest purpose is also here.

…

At the same time, Jingyang City.

Zhenbei Palace.

In an extremely magnificent courtyard.

A young man was looking through a mountain of books, looking for something.

He has a handsome face, regular facial features, and a very tall and straight figure.

Wearing a light gray brocade robe, with a round and vermilion ancient jade tied around his waist, he gave people an extraordinary and handsome feeling.

And around him, there seemed to be a faint layer of glow.

There are fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air, which is obviously a result of successful cultivation. Even when the eyes are opened and closed, there seems to be flashes of light.

"In ancient times, a phoenix lived in a phoenix tree. Jianjia has the blood of the phoenix clan in her body. If she can find a piece of phoenix tree, it will be of great benefit to her current practice."

"Unfortunately, in today's world, it is very difficult to find the real ancient sycamore. If you still can't find it, I'm afraid you have to go to Tianji Pavilion and spend a lot of money to ask..."

The young man murmured to himself while flipping through the many books in front of him.

His name is Xiao Teng, and he is the third son of Xiao He, the current North King of Daxia Town.

In Jingyang City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, he is also a famous young prodigy. He is extremely powerful and talented, and it is difficult to find an opponent among his peers.

And just as he was flipping through the books in front of him, trying to find records related to Wutong.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the courtyard.

A girl dressed like a maid hurried over and shouted breathlessly, "Third Young Master, something is wrong, something serious is going to happen..."

Xiao Teng frowned slightly and asked, "Cai'er, why are you so panicked..."

"Third Young Master, something happened to the Xie family."

"Something happened to the Xie family?"

Xiao Teng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Cai'er doesn't know either, but I just heard the news outside that something big happened to the Xie family and they were going to be executed, so I hurried over to tell you, Third Young Master."

The maid named Cai'er hurriedly replied, also full of anxiety.

She knew that the young lady from the Xie family was married to the third young master of her family, and the two had contacts with each other.

The third young master also seems to have a deep affection for him, and often takes the initiative to help him with big favors.

Xiao Teng's face was as dark as water, and he hurriedly got up and left the courtyard, going to find his father to ask what was going on.

Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, was dressed in casual clothes. He was tall and strong, with a very conspicuous knife scar on his face.

He had just returned from the mansion with many attendants. Before he reached the main hall, he saw Xiao Teng hurriedly coming.

"Father, I heard that something big happened to the Xie family. What happened?" Xiao Teng asked hurriedly.

Xiao He also looked a little unhappy. When he saw Xiao Teng coming, he knew why he asked.

He sighed and replied, "The Xie family has collapsed. Ever since the old master became critically ill, the Xie family has been in decline."

"And Xie Qing, as the censor, secretly tampered with historical records, secretly colluded with the devil, and stole the royal treasured secret book. The prime minister reported it yesterday. This crime was found out, and the officials were furious."

"His Majesty the Xia Emperor is wise and kind. Considering the face of the old master and the great contributions made by the Xie family in the past, he made an exception and granted pardon without implicating the whole family."

"But we will abolish the cultivation of the Xie family and demote them to common people. The men will be sent to the frontiers to serve as handymen, and the women will be sent to the Sword Sect's sword pool to wash their swords..."

"What……"

When Xiao Teng heard this, he felt his head buzzing. It was really unbelievable.

Especially the last sentence, the female family member sent the sword to the sword pool of the Sword Sect to wash the sword?
