That's What Villains Are Like

Huafang, which was originally in chaos, gradually calmed down as Emperor Xia took action.

Several remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect were killed one after another, without exception.

People of the Blood Immortal Cult will leave restrictions in their consciousness. Once they see someone trying to search for souls, they will immediately detonate them.

Even if the attack is timely, the restriction will directly explode the moment the divine consciousness erodes into his sea of ​​consciousness.

This has always been a headache for Daxia. Even if someone from the Blood Immortal Sect is captured, it is difficult to get anything out of their mouths through torture and investigation.

Originally, Emperor Xia wanted to continue watching the show in secret, but judging from the situation just now, the strong man in the fifth realm was indeed not something Jiang Lan could deal with now.

If he hadn't stopped him, Jiang Lintian, the prime minister, would later see that his son had been assassinated in Jingyang City and suffered severe injuries. He didn't know what trouble would happen again.

She was already quite busy and she really didn't want to cause any more trouble.

It was a pity that she wanted to use these remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect as clues to see if she could follow the clues, find out their strongholds, and find out the top brass of the Blood Immortal Sect who spread the news that she was a daughter.

Now that such an accident has occurred, we can only find another plan.

"Thank you for your help..."

Quietness returned to the boat, except for the strange mist and fragrance still floating in the void.

Jiang Lan didn't seem to expect that someone would come to the rescue at this time.

He straightened his robes and looked at the fair-skinned man in brocade robes in front of him.

"..."

Emperor Xia stood with her palms closed, her face expressionless. She could not have a good attitude toward Jiang Lan, even if she was in disguise.

However, after thinking about it, she still said calmly, "It's a little effort, Mr. Jiang doesn't have to do this."

Jiang Lan didn't know her true identity at the moment, but she wanted someone to investigate him during this period.

Now that we have such an opportunity to contact him secretly, we might be able to find out some of the secrets and plans of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia's expression softened slightly and he said, "The remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect are causing trouble in the Nine Provinces. Everyone will find them and punish them."

Jiang Lan smiled noncommittally when he heard this, then calmed down and asked, "What do you call me?"

Although he had not had direct contact with Emperor Xia before, he could guess his identity from the look and behavior of the person in front of him.

What's more, he personally set up a trap and planned it for several days, just to lure Emperor Xia to show up in person.

No matter how she disguises herself, Jiang Lan can determine her identity through the Fate Fruit. He knows that Emperor Xia will definitely come.

Now she succeeded in getting Xia Huang to come to the rescue, dispelling many of her original doubts and concerns about herself.

This is exactly what Jiang Lan wants.

It can be said that all of this is within his expectation and control.

"It's just a name, it's not important." Xia Huang said.

"Of course the name is not important, but after all, you have saved my life. My father has taught me since I was a child that my life-saving grace must be repaid with a spring of water."

"If you don't even know the name of your savior, then it's somewhat unjustifiable." Jiang Lan said seriously.

Emperor Xia sneered in his heart. Such words came out of Jiang Lan's mouth, no matter how uncomfortable they sounded.

"In that case, Mr. Jiang will remember that my name is Haoxinren."

"As for the grace of saving lives, don't worry about it. It's just a little effort. I was tracking down the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect and happened to encounter this scene. If it were anyone else, I would help them."

Emperor Xia said calmly.

"It's just that you don't want to tell me your real name. If there is a chance in the future, I will return the favor to you." Jiang Lan didn't seem to be persistent when he heard this.

Emperor Xia glanced at him and felt a sense of interest in his heart.

Jiang Lan walked to the window of the wing, looked out at the river where the mist was gradually dispersing, and said, "Your Excellency is a bit unfamiliar. I guess you are not from Jingyang City."

"I have just sent the message. My guards will be here soon. If you don't want to get involved in these troubles, it's best to leave first."

"I didn't expect Young Master Jiang to be so kind?"

Emperor Xia looked at him and said with great interest, "Aren't you worried that the Blood Immortal Sect and I are co-conspirators and deliberately directed and staged the scene just now?"

Logically speaking, she, a strange face, appeared on the same boat as Jiang Lan, faced the strange mist of the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect, and did not fall into a coma.

On the contrary, when Jiang Lan was about to encounter danger, he came to the rescue at the right time. This was too much of a coincidence no matter how you looked at it.

A normal person's first reaction shouldn't be to doubt whether all this is a self-directed and self-acted game?

However, Jiang Lan acted so casually and calmly, and did not doubt this.

"If I say I don't doubt it, will you believe it?"

Regarding Emperor Xia's question, Jiang Lan just glanced at her and said, "Even if I doubt you, I can't do anything to you, so it's better to choose to believe you."

Emperor Xia didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and said, "Young Master Jiang is a smart man, so I can only say that you may have believed the wrong person."

"Speaking of which, from the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were not a bad person..." Jiang Lan said seriously.

Emperor Xia snorted in his heart and said expressionlessly, "Young Master Jiang has a sharp eye."

"Since you don't want to tell me the origin, I won't force you."

"This thing is my token. If you encounter trouble in Jingyang City, you can use this thing to come to the Prime Minister's Office for help. As long as it is not a very troublesome matter, the Prime Minister's Office can basically help you solve it."

"Of course, if your Excellency wishes to come to my Prime Minister's Mansion to serve as a guest, my Prime Minister's Mansion will also welcome you to the utmost. You will be satisfied with all your spiritual skills, spiritual stones, rare beauties, and whatever you want."

While Jiang Lan was talking casually, he took out a jade pendant with the surname "Jiang" engraved on it from his arms and placed it on the tea table in front of him.

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Lan's face. He just glanced at the jade pendant without picking it up.

The majestic Lord of Great Xia asked her to serve as a guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

However, over the years, Xiangguo Mansion has indeed cultivated many disciples, all of whom have good cultivation, and there are many who are in the Sixth and Seventh Realms.

Jiang Lan doesn't know her identity at the moment, so this jade pendant might come in handy in the future.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia nodded gently, raised her jade hand under the wide sleeve robe, and she took the jade pendant away.

"Since Mr. Jiang has said so, I will be disrespectful." She replied.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan smiled as if he expected it and said, "If your Excellency comes to look for you one day, I will be waiting for you in my house, sweeping the bed and walking on foot to welcome you."

Emperor Xia was silent, flicked his sleeves and robe, and his figure disappeared instantly.

After Jiang Lan watched Emperor Xia leave, the smile on his face disappeared.

He sensed her with the Fate Fruit and made sure that she had gone far. Then he shook his head gently, sat back on the couch, picked up the cold tea and took a sip.

"It was smoother than I imagined, and the jade pendant was delivered smoothly..."

He looked strange.

She originally thought that Emperor Xia would be cautious and would investigate directly first, but she did not doubt it and accepted the jade pendant directly.

Of course, if she remembered afterward, she might investigate, but that was no longer important.

Jiang Lan condensed a ray of his life soul into the jade pendant.

When Emperor Xia returned to the palace, it was enough for him to completely attach the life soul to her life breath.

This has two benefits.

First, it is possible to determine the location of Emperor Xia by sensing the location of his life soul, so as to prevent him from directly meeting Emperor Xia when he pretends to be the leader of the Naxian Alliance, and becomes the real or fake Monkey King.

The second is that his life soul is attached to Xia Huang's life breath. Jiang Lan can use this to simulate her life breath, and in a true sense, the fake is the real thing.

It doesn't matter whether his actions tonight will make Queen Xia doubt him again.

It is estimated that by the time she realizes this, Jiang Lan has already pulled out her teeth and broken her arms. She is just a caged bird and has nothing to fear.

Shortly after Emperor Xia left, Jiang Lan took action and disposed of the body of the broad-faced man who had cultivated in the fifth realm, leaving no trace.

Then, a group of his guards came quickly and sealed the boat tightly.

The fact that he was assassinated by the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect was also under Jiang Lan's intentional control, and no news was released.

Although his parents also received the news, they knew that the people who attacked and killed him were only a few people with cultivation level in the Fourth Realm, so they were not too worried.

This was the reason why Jiang Lan disposed of the corpse of the broad-faced man with a fifth-level cultivation.

He had just started training not long ago, and with the strength he showed in front of his parents, it was not difficult to kill the beings in the fourth realm with many means, but wanting to kill the existence in the fifth realm was a bit beyond the standard and shocking. He didn't want to cause trouble.

Anyway, the only people who saw Emperor Xia take action were him and several of Emperor Xia's maids.

Even if Emperor Xia holds his token, it is impossible to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for him, so basically no one will know what happened tonight as long as he doesn't tell.

In the next few days, everything in Jingyang City was calm.

After Emperor Xia returned to the palace, he still did not give up asking people to investigate the Blood Immortal Sect's stronghold in Jingyang City.

At the same time, she also ordered Anhua Pavilion to try to find out more information about Jiang Lan.

Although they had only met him briefly, she could confirm that Jiang Lan was not the frivolous playboy that the world knew him to be. On the contrary, he was very smart.

If you were unable to practice before, there must be some unknown secret in it.

However, because of this matter, she gave up some of her previous worries. She was originally worried that the Prime Minister's Mansion might secretly collude with the Blood Immortal Sect.

But the Blood Immortal Sect dared to assassinate Jiang Lan so blatantly, which proved that she had been overly worried before.

While investigating Jiang Lan, Emperor Xia also did not forget to send people to investigate the authenticity of the tips in the bag he received from Master Banxian.

If she didn't understand that matter, she might really have trouble sleeping and eating.

…

Jingyang City returned to a brief period of calm.

Jiang Lan also received the news from Su Qinghan.

She has already arrived at the Dao Cang Sword Sect and will follow the Jade Green Sword Immortal to cultivate in secret.

Jiang Lan responded to her and told her to practice with peace of mind and that he would visit her when he had time.

Chu Chan, on the other hand, has also begun to establish a firm foothold in the Yaochi Sect and has emerged among the inner disciples. After a while, she will follow Chen Ning and visit the Chen family in Beiming.

Jiang Lan knew about her plan. The Chen family of Beiming had a great connection with the former Ancient Heavenly Lord of Beiming.

The ancient Heavenly Lord Beiming, also known as the Demon Lord Beiming, left behind a legacy of the Beiming Demonic Skill, which can devour the origins and cultivation of others for his own use.

The inheritance that Chu Chan received from the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Beiming in the original plot should be related to this trip...

Jiang Lan has great expectations for her.

Now Chu Chan has not yet grown into the descendant of the Demon Lord who will make the entire Kyushu fearful in the future, but she has already begun to take shape.

During this period, with the accumulation of various cultivation resources every day, Jiang Lan also "successfully" broke through the realm of nourishing Qi as his parents wished, and began to prepare for opening up the spiritual sea.

Pieces of rare and priceless treasures of heaven, materials, and earth were sent from all over the territory of Daxia and piled up in the side hall for his practice.

Two pages of jade rubbings from the wordless heavenly book were also sent from the Li family in Suiji.

Originally, Jiang Lan was a little worried because the jade talisman that was rubbed was not authentic, and whether the mysterious ancient vine would absorb it.

Later, he realized that he had worried too much, and two streams of light flew away from the sea of ​​consciousness, turning into two dense mist-like lights that instantly enveloped the rubbing jade talisman.

On the ancient vine, there were two more ancient leaves that seemed to be surrounded by chaotic matter. Including the previous one, there were three leaves.

It is equivalent to that he now has three innate immortal tattoos on his body.

In the courtyard, maple leaves were falling, figures were intertwined, and skirts were flying.

Several groups of rays of light collided, bursting out with brilliant light like flowing fire, causing the surrounding forbidden formations to flicker and shake.

Immediately afterwards, a slender figure landed steadily on the bluestone. The blue silk was soft, but the gauze used to cover the face disappeared. There was still a trace of being rubbed on the face as clear and flawless as white jade.

"It seems that Meng Ning has suppressed your cultivation to the level of the spiritual sea, and you are no longer a match for me." Jiang Lan casually put the veil into his arms.

Li Mengning didn't want to pay attention to him.

In her eyes, Jiang Lan's cultivation has improved very quickly, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the changes as rapid.

You can still fight him in the first few days, but it will be a bit tricky on the second day. If you still suppress your cultivation on the third day, you will be bullied by him.

"Angry?"

Jiang Lan walked over and rubbed the other half of her face. Her skin was very delicate, white and smooth, like mutton-fat fairy jade, shining with a white luster.

"No……"

"Your cultivation level has improved very quickly, I'm very happy." Li Mengning stared at him with her quiet eyes.

Jiang Lan smiled, returned the veil to her, helped her put it back on, sat down on the bluestone beside her, and then held her in his arms.

He lives such a simple and unpretentious life every day.

Practice during the day and listen to music at night. Red flowers are flying and green trees are dancing, accompanied by singing orioles and swallows.

By the way, Ye Shiyan was asked to pay attention to Xiao Teng's actions through the jade talisman.

He always remembered that the palace master of the Goddess Palace and Ge Qixing awakened the memory of being the Lord of the Stars in his previous life in order for Xiao Teng to successfully open the star mark.

Not only did he seal a treasure from the Goddess Palace, the Shaking Light Immortal Jade, in his spiritual sea, but he also secretly condensed and collected the seven-star essence for Xiao Teng.

But it's not yet time for the Seven Stars Origin to be born.

The Southern Hunt is approaching, and Jiang Lan is also planning to prepare a second gift for Emperor Xia.

In the original plot, before the late emperor passed away, he had expected that his heirs would be assassinated one after another, so he had a backup plan.

The current Xia Emperor Xia Junxi is the seventh eldest. According to seniority, she should actually be the seventh princess.

Before her, there was another sixth prince, born to Concubine Xuan.

However, on the day of his birth, he was betrayed by a maid in the palace and sent to be raised outside the palace. However, the fake prince was plotted and assassinated by many forces in the court, and later died an untimely death.

The late emperor asked Xia Junxi to disguise herself as a man and establish him as the crown prince, although it was for no other reason than that.

But the bigger purpose is to confuse the public and let Xia Junxi attract the attention of the court, so as to protect the sixth prince and allow him to grow up in peace.

For this reason, the late emperor secretly left a will to prepare for future emergencies.

"At this time, Xia Junxi probably already knows about this matter, but she doesn't know where the sixth prince is or who he is, but with her eyesight, she can investigate the family connections and whereabouts of the maids in the palace, and she will soon be able to It can also be investigated..."

"I have to control the Sixth Prince before she does."

Jiang Lan planned to secretly develop his power during this period of time.

At present, there are not many people who can be used by him, only Song Youwei and Ye Shiyan.

As for Li Mengning, Jiang Lan didn't want her to be involved in too many things. Besides, if something went wrong with her, even he himself would be under suspicion.

He is now no longer involved with the Blood Immortal Sect...

"It looks like I have to make another trip to the Sixth Prince in person. Song Youwei has been unable to get away these days to deal with the Blood Immortal Sect's plan."

"Ye Shiyan was injured that night, and she is still recovering from her injuries. In addition, she cannot show up easily at the moment..."

"I still need to find more people who can be of use to me."

Jiang Lan fell into thinking.

Linjiang County, Yangchun City.

Qi family.

"In ancient times, if you want to bring enlightened virtue to the world, you must first govern your country; if you want to govern your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your body..."

In a courtyard that looks a little poor.

Next to a willow tree, a well-looking man with tied hair in a gray cotton robe is holding an ancient scroll in his hand, sitting on a stone bench, reading with relish.

His spirit is strong and his eyes are clear, seeming to contain great wisdom.

Judging from his face, he looks like he is only in his twenties, but if a monk judges his bones, he will find that he is already past his thirties.

"If you want to govern the country well, you must first manage your own family. If you don't have a family, there is no country. If you have a family, a country, a country..."

"It's a pity that in today's world, there are very few people who can manage their families well. Where are the people who can really manage the country?"

"The court is in chaos, and the place is even more so. Immortal gates are watching, princes are entrenched, and all the powerful families will only take care of themselves."

After a moment, the man sighed and closed the book in his hand.

There are three major families in Yangchun City, and his Qi family is one of them, and Qi is the head of the three families.

As the third master of the Qi family, he should be rich and prosperous.

But the courtyard in front of me was very poor and simple, with no maids to serve.

I was delayed because of something. This chapter is a little short of words. I will make up for the missing ones later.
