That's What Villains Are Like

"It's too much to bully someone."

Xiao Teng's fists clenched as he looked coldly at Jiang Lan opposite him, suppressing his anger.

In the past few days, he followed "Xie Jianjia"'s suggestion and went to visit "Zhang Yuan".

Although he had not met him the previous few times, "Zhang Yuan" finally agreed to meet him after his patient visit.

So after the two people came into contact, they talked happily, and they both felt that they had met each other too late.

At the same time, because the common enemy was Jiang Lan, the two of them developed a sense of sympathy for each other.

That's why Xiao Teng sent out an invitation, inviting Zhang Yuan to visit Yuxianfang today, but who would have thought that he would meet Jiang Lan right here.

After noticing the boat that Jiang Lan was on, he deliberately ordered people to avoid it, but Jiang Lan took the initiative to let people come closer to cause trouble for him.

Although Xiao Teng didn't care about the Qing Guan, but in front of all the disciples of Yijian Palace, giving him away like this didn't mean that he was afraid of Jiang Lan.

Especially today, he was the one who made the decision and invited everyone to come. Where should he put his face?

In the future, he wants to recruit these disciples from Yijian Palace as his disciples. Does he still have the face?

Fortunately, this brother "Zhang Yuan" was astute and saw his difficulty and stepped forward to help him out in time.

But Jiang Lan was still unwilling to give up, and took the initiative to bring up the fact that "Zhang Yuan" brother sincerely opposed him at the auction meeting that day.

So when the young geniuses from the immortal sect who were traveling with Jiang Lan heard this, they all got angry and scolded him as they wanted to please Jiang Lan.

Xiao Teng was so angry that he replied a few words, but the conflict escalated, and this was the tense situation in front of him.

"What should I do? The man in the boat opposite is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

"Junior Brother Zhang Yuan offended someone at the auction that day, and now they are looking for trouble."

"I know the genius of the ancient Chi Ming sect, his name is Sun Yi. When he was in the Linghai realm, he condensed three Chi Ming divine patterns in his body. Each of the Chi Ming divine patterns was formed by practicing a cluster of spiritual fire. The strength in the same realm is extremely tyrannical, and it is difficult to find an opponent..."

"Although Junior Brother Zhang Yuan has extraordinary methods, he is probably no match for this person."

"Furthermore, have you seen that the strange man in red robe in that painted boat is a young true successor of the Chiming ancient sect, named Chi Yunxiao. He is even more ruthless in his attacks. He will kill his opponent every time. His cultivation is ruined."

"With him here, Junior Brother Zhang Yuan will definitely not be able to get any favors from him..."

Above the cloud boat, all the disciples of Yijian Palace looked worried. They looked at the two people facing each other in the sky and did not dare to step forward to stop them.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Teng immediately responded, "You don't have to worry, as long as I am here, Brother Zhang Yuan will not suffer any losses."

And just when everyone was worried, more and more people gathered around and looked at the situation here.

Above the river, the Yijian Palace disciple "Zhang Yuan" and the prodigy of the Chiming Ancient Sect, Sun Yi, also started a battle.

The surging atmosphere overflowed, waves rose, and the river seemed to be boiling, and wisps of mist began to evaporate.

Sun Yi was like a young fire god, even his hair was stained with terrifying flames. With a bang, he punched out, the void rumbled, and the terrifying power seemed to be tens of thousands.

White waves appear there, densely packed vertically and horizontally, as if they are about to burst.

His fist became extremely red, like a red-hot treasure, and the water waves it stirred up were evaporated in an instant.

boom! ! !

The fists and feet of the two people collided, and an astonishing energy burst out, like rocks shaking. In a few breaths, they flickered and collided a dozen times.

Various tyrannical performances of spells burst out with brilliant and heart-stopping auras.

"Sun Yi's cultivation level is much better than that of Zhang Yuan, but despite his hard work, he has come back and forth, making him indistinguishable."

"Zhang Yuan dared to offend Young Master Jiang so blatantly. It seems he has something to rely on..."

On the boat, a group of young geniuses were paying attention to this battle.

One of the men, who was wearing a fiery red robe and had a somewhat pale and enchanting face, spoke, seeming to be very interested in "Zhang Yuan" who was fighting with Sun Yi.

In his pupils, strands of fiery red runes flickered, like clusters of firelight.

It is Chi Yunxiao, the younger generation true successor of the Chi Ming ancient sect.

"What Taoist Brother Yunxiao said is correct. It seems that Zhang Yuan has caused quite a stir during this period. He is not a simple person."

Another man carrying a broad sword smiled and said.

His facial features are as sharp as a knife, his nose is like hanging gallbladder, and his eyes are very bright, with a sense of righteousness. He comes from the other side of the Immortal Sect, Wuliang Sword Mountain.

It is said that there are many connections between Wuji Sword Sect, one of the three major sword sects in Daxia today, and Wuliang Sword Mountain.

"However, no matter how difficult it is, you must obediently apologize to Mr. Jiang in front of us today." Another young genius said, but it was not a man, but a very enchantingly dressed woman from Maha. Demon Sect.

These immortal sect forces all belong to factions that are close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are also very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

These young men and women in front of them are all the best of their generation among those immortal sects.

Of course, these immortal sect forces cannot be compared with the top immortal sects, such as Taiyi Sect, Yaochi Sect, and Dao Dao Ancient Sect. Even compared with Yijian Palace, they are all inferior in background.

As the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Lan naturally had the obligation to take them around after they arrived in the imperial capital.

This Yuxianfang is naturally the most suitable place.

"It's not enough to apologize. Otherwise, if I say it out loud, it will look like I've gone too far to deceive others."

"His Majesty the Xia Emperor is about to conduct a hunting exercise in the south. If there is news that my prime minister is bullying others, he will probably be unhappy after hearing it."

Jiang Lan leaned against the pavilion railing on the side of the boat, with a casual smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we are just comparing notes, and we won't cause any trouble."

"Besides, this is a conflict between us and Zhang Yuan, and it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Office."

When several young geniuses heard this, they immediately smiled and agreed.

The Immortal Sect behind them still has to rely on the breath of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This time they came to the imperial capital because of the Southern Hunting Exercise. The sect arranged for them to come here to act as guards.

"This source is extremely powerful. I'm afraid you guys should not be careless..." Jiang Lan smiled.

The strength of the few people in front of me, except for Chi Yunxiao, was average.

But he himself doesn't care about this.

Bringing them to Yuxianfang for fun is partly a courtesy to the landlord, and partly a deliberate trap for someone to step in.

Meeting Xiao Teng and Ye Ming here tonight was completely accidental.

Jiang Lan hadn't paid attention to these two people for several days.

We bumped into each other today, so let's take a look. The two of them are lucky. If Ye Ming is serious about it, then he just wants him to be the limelight.

Of course, now, the person Jiang Lan had been waiting for finally arrived.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Xia, one day he would definitely be unable to bear it anymore and come to Yuxianfang to find out the news for himself.

It was her who Jiang Lan was waiting for.

"You also know that I will be unhappy..."

"But what's the difference between doing this and going too far to bully others?"

Not far away, Emperor Xia squinted her eyes to join in the fun. Naturally, the conversation between Jiang Lan and several young geniuses could not be hidden from her ears.

It was rumored that Jiang Lan bullied men and dominated women. Although she had not seen it, she had experienced it today...

Knowing that Daxia had strict rules these days, he deliberately caused trouble for the third son of Zhenbei Palace and the disciples of Nayi Sword Palace.

He also mentioned the laws of Daxia in front of everyone. He really didn't take himself seriously.

"Master, do you want to notify the people from Zhenxian Division to come over?"

Behind Emperor Xia, Chunlan, who was dressed as a guard, saw the fierce battle on the river in front and couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Xia waved his hand after hearing this and said calmly, "No need."

The people from the Zhenxian Division had already noticed the commotion here, but they were unable to come forward due to Jiang Lan's identity and the fact that the two people fighting against each other were doing so in the name of competition.

Since Jiang Lan said this, he definitely didn't want to make the matter a big deal. At most, he wanted to teach the Yijian Palace disciple named Zhang Yuan a lesson.

Emperor Xia had long known what happened at the auction meeting some time ago.

In fact, even she was somewhat interested in that strange stone. After getting the news, she tried to deduce it using a secret treasure of the royal family, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

It was as if the things inside that strange stone were also very important to her.

During her subsequent deduction, that feeling disappeared, but the feeling of loss that day still lingered in her heart.

What was in that strange stone, she still didn't know until now.

"Since Jiang Lan is determined to get that strange stone, he must know what is in it..."

"Perhaps I can use an excuse to find out what he's talking about."

Emperor Xia made a stroke with his slender palm, and a clear light flashed, and the jade pendant left by Jiang Lan in the boat that day appeared.

Her white fingertips gently rubbed the word "ginger" on it, and her eyes gradually deepened.

As for the battle on the field, she just glanced at it and was not interested, because the outcome was already determined in her eyes.

The disciple of Yi Jian Palace deliberately concealed his clumsiness and used good methods, so his opponent would definitely be defeated.

As the battle above the river became more intense, when the two collided and fought, the glow burst out and the fire shook.

Large tracts of river water were evaporated and turned into overflowing mist. It was so hazy that it was impossible to see the movements of the two people clearly.

In front of Jiang Lan, Sun Yi, who had praised Haikou, saw that he could not win "Zhang Yuan", and his expression became unhappy.

I originally thought I was just going to teach him a lesson, but now he is really angry and beaten out.

Ye Ming, who changed his name to "Zhang Yuan", naturally did not show his true strength. He just wanted to rescue Xiao Teng. After all, he finally met an ally again, and he was also the third son of Zhenbei Palace. He also had intentions. Make good friends.

But he doesn't want to attract too much attention and suspicion. The stronger he shows, the more people will pay attention to him.

Therefore, when fighting Sun Yi, we try to deal with it as close as possible.

In his opinion, if the other party is sensible, he should understand that his strength is far superior to his, and he is giving him a step down.

"If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me."

But Ye Ming didn't expect that the other party would get more and more aggressive, and his anger was rising.

His face also turned cold, and then he stopped holding back.

Blazing light burst out from his palms, and behind him there seemed to be a vast star field with majestic aura.

The stars among them flickered, emitting bright light, turning into streamers of light, flying away as he raised his palm, drowning Sun Yi who was moving forward.

Boom!

The huge momentum shocked all directions, and even aroused a wave several feet high, which almost overturned several surrounding boats.

More and more monks were watching the battle around, and they were all shocked and speechless by the shocking scene in front of them.

There are heads poking out from each boat.

Some people looked over at some of the palaces and pavilions on the shore, and were startled by the momentum here.

"Junior brother Zhang Yuan is so strong, but this technique has never been seen before..."

All the disciples of Yijian Palace were also shocked. They thought "Zhang Yuan" was defeated and injured, but they never thought that he suddenly used such a powerful method and directly knocked away his opponent.

In the river, a mist was steaming. Sun Yi fell into it, his throat felt sweet, and his blood boiled. He swallowed the blood that he wanted to spit out.

His face was full of shock and disbelief. He didn't expect that the blow from "Zhang Yuan" just now directly injured him. He was no match for him.

The young geniuses on the boat were also shocked.

Jiang Lan looked as expected. After all, he knew Ye Ming's true strength very well.

"Brother Zhang Yuan is indeed very capable..." He clapped his hands with admiration in his eyes.

Jiang Lan's original purpose was to take Ye Ming out and bake it on the fire.

The more he hides, the more people will pay attention to and talk about him after this battle, and now everyone has seen that Ye Ming has been mixed up with the third son of Zhenbei Palace.

This is what Jiang Lan wants to achieve.

"Mr. Jiang, this guy really hides his secrets..."

Chi Yunxiao's eyes were filled with fire. He took a step forward and was about to take action.

When Xiao Teng, who was on the Yunzhou opposite, saw this, he didn't care about the surprise. He also took a few steps forward and stood in the sky. The aura on his body surged, as if the light of the stars was gathering, deliberately blocking it.

Ye Ming's face was calm, calm and calm.

"No need, since Brother Sun Yi lost, then we are willing to admit defeat."

"I will make amends to Brother Zhang Yuan for what happened today."

Seeing that Chi Yunxiao was about to step forward and take action again, Jiang Lan waved his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Since you lose, just accept it, it's no big deal."

"Brother Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, following Xiao Teng, isn't it a bit humiliating?"

"If you are interested, you might as well come and sit in my Prime Minister's Mansion. My Prime Minister's Mansion is open to all rivers and loves talents and scholars. I appreciate people like Brother Zhang Yuan."

Upon hearing his words, all the Yijian Palace disciples in Yunzhou were stunned.

They thought they would face a tense atmosphere again next, and their whole bodies became tense.

But who would have thought that Jiang Lan would say such words directly, that he would no longer pursue the case and cause trouble?

Everyone was stunned for a while.

On the other hand, Xiao Teng's expression turned gloomy. His fists were still clenching, but he did not scold him out of concern for his face.

That day in Jian Tiansi's dungeon, Jiang Lan also had the same condescending and contemptuous tone...

Ye Ming's face remained calm. He didn't know whether Jiang Lan had seen his identity or had ulterior motives. He cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Mr. Jiang's love, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the Prime Minister's Mansion. "

After saying that, he jumped back to the Yunzhou.

Sun Yi, who was injured, returned to the boat with a guilty look on his face and was about to speak.

Jiang Lan just smiled nonchalantly and said, "My skills are just inferior to others. Brother Sun Yi doesn't have to blame himself."

"I have a bottle of three-turn Yuanling Pill here. After swallowing it, your injuries should be relieved."

"I disappoint Young Master Jiang."

Hearing this, Sun Yi couldn't hide the emotion on his face, and at the same time, he felt deeper guilt in his heart.

If he hadn't been too careless and underestimated the enemy, he might not have been defeated so miserably.

Many people watching the excitement thought it would be more lively next, but they didn't expect that Jiang Lan would choose to give in so straightforwardly and freely.

This demeanor surprised many people, as they didn't think it was like Jiang Lan's arrogant character.

But then I thought about it, if the commotion was too big, maybe even he would be punished...

"He is a smart guy. He retreats in order to advance. In the end, Zhenbei Palace becomes a joke..." A sneer flashed across Emperor Xia's eyes, vaguely guessing Jiang Lan's intention.

"Young Master Jiang is an upright and straightforward person. In such a public situation, it is really unexpected that he is so willing to admit defeat."

"If it were anyone else, I would probably refuse to give in for the sake of face..."

The many disciples of Yijian Palace had complex and varied expressions. Liu Xue, who was beside Ye Ming, had a brilliant look in her eyes and murmured in an authentic voice.

"Looking generous on the surface, but actually harboring trouble inside. Such a person is far from as simple as you think. He is just taking advantage of us tonight..."

Ye Ming thought he knew Jiang Lan's character very well, so when he heard Liu Xue's words, he felt even more uncomfortable and retorted coldly.

Liu Xue also realized that she had made a mistake and suddenly smiled bitterly.

Junior Brother "Zhang Yuan" had a deep resentment towards the Prime Minister's Master, but she didn't quite agree with what he said just now. Maybe he was really just recruiting Junior Brother "Zhang Yuan" sincerely.

Xiao Teng agreed with Ye Ming's words and said, "If you ask more about what this guy is doing in the imperial capital, you won't regard him as a good person."

Liu Xue smiled even more bitterly.

But at this time, Jiang Lan's voice came again from the other party's boat, "Xiao Teng, I see that you have been living in a low-key life recently, and everyone in the Xie family has been demoted. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be worried. Before you get started, Do you care about your future? You still have time to accompany the others to play in Yuxianfang."

"Xie Jianjia was kidnapped on her way to the Canglan Sword Sect. As her fiancé, you have a deep love for her, but you are not worried or anxious at all."

"Why on earth is this?"

"Is Xie Jianjia hiding in your Zhenbei Prince's Mansion?"

As soon as these words were heard, Xiao Teng's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect Jiang Lan to suddenly ask this in front of everyone.

Moreover, his actions during this period are indeed a bit suspicious from this point of view.

But his strong willpower still made him recover quickly, his face was calm, and he didn't show anything abnormal.

"Jiang Lan, I don't know what you are talking about. The Xie family colluded with the devil, and they deserved to be demoted. I know this, so naturally I cannot collude with the Xie family."

"It is true that Xie Jianjia is my fiancée, but since she has been assigned to Canglan Sword Sect, she has nothing to do with me."

"Don't try to frame me, Prince Zhenbei."

He looked at Jiang Lan and responded in a deep voice.

On both sides of the river and among the boats, many monks and souls were shocked when they heard this conversation, and many people began to speculate.

The fact that the Xie family colluded with the devil and was demoted caused a big fuss in the imperial capital...

Xie Jianjia, the daughter of the Xie family, was once granted the title of Princess Xiahuang by Emperor Xia and was given a territory by himself. However, she was kidnapped on the way to Canglan Sword Sect.

Could it be that it was really the Zhenbei Prince’s Mansion?

"Really? Since Xiao Teng said so, you have to hide Xie Jianjia, but don't let me find her."

Jiang Lan laughed out loud, his tone full of condescending contempt and casualness.

"you……"

Anger surged on Xiao Teng's face, but he suppressed it and directly ordered Yun Zhou to turn around and go to the bank of the river.

On the bank of the river, Emperor Xia also became thoughtful after hearing these words.

Even she had no idea where Xie Jianjia was.

Now it seems that it is indeed possible that Xiao Teng protected Xue Zang.

"That's fine. With Xie Jianjia's character, he will definitely appreciate the royal family's kindness to him in the future. It is better than falling into the hands of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Xiao Teng's acting skills during this period have been hidden from many people. Even I was kept in the dark by him."

"If I hadn't come to Yuxianfang today and happened to meet him, I might not have known about this..."

She thought to herself and felt relieved.

After all, the Zhenbei Palace is a faction that is closely loyal to the royal family. Over the years, Zhenbei Wang Xiao He has always fulfilled his duties and obeyed her orders without ever having second thoughts.

Compared to the elusive Jiang Lan, Xiao Teng's temperament is much simpler and easier to control.

In a way, Xiao Teng can be regarded as her fellow senior brother. National Master Ge Qixing had already accepted Xiao Teng as a disciple before teaching her.

Although such an incident happened tonight, it did not affect the enjoyment of everyone in Yuxianfang at all.

Relevant news quickly spread throughout the imperial capital with the help of caring people, triggering heated discussions.

Seeing the boat Jiang Lan was on drifting towards the middle of the river.

Emperor Xia thought for a moment and asked the four maids to wait for her, and her figure stepped forward. The void in front of her eyes blurred and disappeared in an instant.

And when she reappeared, she was already on the extremely luxurious boat, full of golden lights and carved beams.

No one among the guards responsible for patrolling back and forth could discover how she appeared above.

When he came back to his senses and wanted to ask about her identity, Emperor Xia took out the jade pendant with the word "ginger" engraved on it, and then, under the shocked and respectful eyes of the guards, Shi Shiran walked to the third floor. go.

The clouds and mist were floating, and a group of young women with heavy makeup and light shoulders, half-exposed shoulders, sang and danced among them.

Beneath her graceful figure, her jade body is exquisite, snow-white and delicate. She is only covered with a thin, gauze-like dress, making everything appear faintly visible and very alluring.

Emperor Xia frowned inadvertently. He seemed a little dissatisfied with the situation in front of him, but his face was calm and composed.

She thought for a moment, and when she walked towards it, she took a woman beside her into her arms, but found that the smell of powder on her body was very unpleasant and pungent.

Then he pushed it away with a dull face, and used magic to wrap around his body to keep it clean.

It looks different, so be it, she doesn't really care anyway.

"Who is this?"

At the banquet table, a group of young geniuses were drinking and talking, but they didn't even notice anyone walking in.

Only Chi Yunxiao, who was stronger, noticed something strange, glanced outside the open door of the wing, and then asked aloud.

Jiang Lan was sitting in the first place, holding a bronze wine glass in his hand, shaking it gently, with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, he seemed to notice someone coming in, looked over, and then showed a hint of surprise at the right time.

"This brother, his name is Hao Xinren, he once saved my life." Jiang Lan opened his mouth, seeming to explain and introduce.

"Hao Xinren?"

When all the young geniuses heard this, they were stunned for a moment, with somewhat surprised and weird expressions on their faces.

Are you really sure that's the name?

"Young Master Jiang has a really good memory. I just mentioned it casually that day, but you actually remembered this name."

Emperor Xia replied calmly, as if he regarded all the young geniuses here as nothing, and did not even look at them.

"Who is your Excellency who helped me save my life? How can I forget this?"

"It's just that Mr. Haoxin, why did you suddenly come to visit today? You didn't even tell me in advance."

"I can tell people to get ready, but I haven't repaid the life-saving kindness that day."

Jiang Lan smiled and extended his hand to signal.

Seeing this, all the young geniuses here also got up and left the table one after another, giving up the side room.

They were not stupid, they could see that this being named "Hao Xinren" had very strong cultivation and was unfathomable.

Since he came to the door in person, he must have something to discuss with Jiang Lan.

"Young Master Jiang is really trusting of me." Emperor Xia glanced at the empty wing.

"If you have the intention to harm me, you can do it now..." Jiang Lan replied.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to trust people too much."

Emperor Xia found a clean chair and sat down, and then said straight to the point, "I happened to see Mr. Jiang arguing with someone on the bank of the river just now. I happened to have something unclear and wanted to ask Mr. Jiang."

"By the way, I also want to return this thing to its original owner."

As she spoke, she placed the jade pendant named "Jiang" on the jade table in front of her.

The implication is to use the life-saving grace that day in exchange for a question from him.

Jiang Lan glanced at the jade pendant and was not in a hurry to answer. He just said, "Even your Excellency doesn't know something. Can you tell me the answer if you ask me?"

Emperor Xia said, "If you know, I have to ask first."

Jiang Lan looked at her and smiled, "What if I know but choose not to tell you? Or, why do I have to tell you the truth?"

"Whether it's true or not, I will judge myself."

Xia Huang said that she didn't expect Jiang Lan to tell the truth. By asking, she was just trying to probe his tone.

Even she couldn't deduce what was in that strange stone, so how could Jiang Lan know?

She just wanted to test it out to see if Xiang Guo Jiang Lintian knew anything.

"You want to ask me about the strange stone at the auction?" Jiang Lan seemed to know what she was thinking, staring into her deep and bright eyes.

Emperor Xia was startled when he heard this, and stood up suddenly, staring at him with his eyes.

At the same time, there was a strong and terrifying aura permeating the body.
