That's What Villains Are Like

"Young Master has bullied most of the young dignitaries in the past few days, and now they are full of resentment..."

"Moreover, there are several young people who are interested in winning the championship, but we have not found them."

"It's just that their news was very hidden, and they didn't even meet the others..."

Ao Xu touched the back of his head, he was honest and honest, but there was a fierce aura flickering in his eyes.

This place is already very close to the deep boundary. The surrounding mountains are towering, but most of them have collapsed. On some low hills, human figures can still be seen shaking.

There were also many young monks following them along the way.

Jiang Lan just glanced at it casually for a few times and then withdrew his gaze.

He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he was not sure yet...

"No matter how many these people are, they are just chickens and dogs. They are not worth caring about. Moreover, Qianyuan Mansion will be closed in two days."

"On the contrary, it is Xiao Teng, the third son of Zhenbei Palace, and his men. We don't know where they are hiding at the moment."

"If he is lucky enough to find some rare treasures, hide them from us, and wait until the Qianyuan Mansion is closed before showing up and leaving, the young master may still have some difficulties."

Chi Yunxiao, a true disciple of the Chiming Ancient Sect, said, his pupils flashing with red divine patterns showing some thoughts.

Along the way, they have robbed most of the young people they met.

Coupled with the points they had accumulated before, together they should be enough to be the leader this time.

But now I am afraid of an accident...

In addition to those ordinary opportunities, there are areas deep in the Qianyuan Mansion that the royal family has never explored. Even the royal family does not know what opportunities there are.

This also ensures that the battle for Qianyuan Mansion will be more unknown.

Before many young dignitaries came in, they had already learned from the family forces behind them about those areas, how to occupy them, what opportunities there are, and which ones can quickly gain points. This has formed a complete set of experience, which can be said to be all occupied. an innate advantage.

Therefore, the deepest unknown area has also become an area that other young geniuses must explore when they stand up.

A similar thing happened before. A young casual cultivator entered the Qianyuan Mansion. He was cautious all the way, avoiding the influence of the young dignitaries, avoiding the eye-catching areas of Tiandiren, and entered the deepest part.

In the end, he accidentally got a few ancient relics in it. After the Qianyuan Mansion was closed, he was teleported out and overtook everyone in one fell swoop, winning the position of leader.

Those ancient relics are still kept in the royal family's treasury. It is said that they record several very powerful ancient techniques, as well as some ancient secrets, which are of immeasurable value...

"If no accident occurs, the points in Young Master's hand should be enough."

"But I heard that there is also a mysterious and powerful guy who is looting all parties these days. Even many young dignitaries have been robbed. All the points have been robbed. His strength is terrifying..."

Luo Ying, with a delicate face, crossed her arms and looked at some Hengduan Mountains in the distance, her eyes narrowed.

"I've heard about it too. It's said that they are still working alone. Depending on their posture, they may eventually come towards us."

"Maybe these guys who came here just want to watch a show..." Chi Yunxiao's face turned cold, and there was a cold aura permeating his body.

Jiang Lan's eyes darkened when he heard this and said nothing.

"Continue to go deeper. I think I will meet Xiao Teng soon. I don't care about others, but I don't want to see any points on him." He said casually.

"Yes, sir."

Ao Xu, Chi Yunxiao, Luo Ying and others all nodded, knowing that there was some grudge between Jiang Lan and Xiao Teng.

There was a commotion in the imperial capital some time ago, and it was said that it was because of Xiao Teng's fiancée, the eldest lady of the Xie Mansion, Xie Jianjia...

That night at Yuxianfang, Jiang Lan also had friction with Xiao Teng. The disciple "Zhang Yuan" from Yi Jian Palace next to him defeated Sun Yi of the Chiming Ancient Sect with a weak force.

Outside, on the central square, many senior officials of the immortal sects had different expressions, and the senior officials of several forces who were close to the Zhenbei Palace also frowned secretly.

The Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion is different from the Xie family. The Prince of Zhenbei holds military power. In the past, the number of heavy armored cavalry guarding Beijun far exceeded one million.

The cultivation level of each heavy armored cavalry is at the second or third level. The mounts they ride on are domesticated beasts, and their strength is not weaker than the cavalry itself.

Not to mention that unique armor and weapons, once formed, can stop thousands of troops.

With this power, even if King Zhenbei openly sides with Emperor Xia, the Prime Minister's Office will not do anything to him easily...

Now Jiang Lan, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, intends to target Xiao Teng in the Qianyuan Mansion. Is there a secret signal from the Prime Minister?

When Jiang Lan stepped into the Qianyuan Mansion that day, Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, stood up with an angry look on his face. As for the prime minister, Jiang Lintian, he didn't even show his face.

This is what's going on in the imperial capital today. You can't see the big shots' game on the surface, but you can guess it through some of the actions of the younger generation...

In the black chariot, Emperor Xia's face was expressionless. She did not think that Jiang Lintian, the Prime Minister, would have the idea of ​​​​taking action against Zhenbei Palace. This was at most a personal grudge between Jiang Lan and Xiao Teng.

Caused by a woman.

She couldn't help but recall the last time she saw Xie Jianjia in her mind. She was a beautiful woman who looked like a cold white flower, with a hint of grace and dignity.

"Xie Jianjia?"

"Is it for the Phoenix clan's essence and blood? Or does it have other motives?"

She looked at Jiang Lan in the round mirror, wondering what he was thinking.

One day later, in another area deep in Qianyuan Mansion.

The water mist on the lake surface is steaming, and there are streaks of rays of light reflecting out, which are extremely gorgeous, like streams of light rising into the sky.

Some of Xiao Teng's men and followers were collecting Tianyuan Seven-Colored Grass in special jade containers, with expressions of excitement and excitement on their faces.

Wrapped in strands of mana, they separated the water flow, then pulled away the algae-like water plants and quickly picked them.

In the mid-air, there were people waiting there for a long time, using jade vases to fill them, and several jade vases were quickly collected.

The jade bottle is filled with splendor, filled with seven-color brilliance, and a magnificent aura pervades it.

"Tian Yuan Seven-Colored Grass is rare in the outside world and is extremely valuable. There are so many plants here. Maybe there is some divine object that contains the origin of the seven colors deep in the lake..."

"However, if we go to investigate at this time, it will be too late."

"Pity……"

"Only a few can be picked in a day and a night. This process is quite troublesome. If you are not careful, they will escape and your efforts will be in vain."

"Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone else or be disturbed."

The young man dressed as a pharmacist is named Meng Mo. He is dressed in a light gray robe and is very elegant. He exudes a pure and rich Confucianism and Taoism.

He came from the Confucian Temple and studied under the great scholar Zhao Tianhe, one of the priests of the Confucian Temple. He can also be regarded as a closed disciple that he has accepted in recent years.

After reading tens of thousands of volumes of books, he gained enlightenment in one day, and his talents formed three flowers, condensed into the divine form of writing, pen, paper and inkstone. He was recognized by the statue of the Confucian sage in the Confucian Temple, and in one night he reached a state comparable to the five realms of a practitioner.

He is also considered a very talented genius in the imperial capital.

Not only that, he is also very interested in the knowledge of medicinal herbs. He is also the registered disciple of an imperial doctor in the Imperial Medical Office and is very knowledgeable.

He was personally summoned by Emperor Xia and was awarded the position of editor in the Hanlin Palace. He had a good personal relationship with Xiao Teng and was interested in getting close to the Prince of Zhenbei.

This time when he entered the Qianyuan Mansion, he came in as a guest of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

Just now, when Xiao Teng took the rest of the people to continue exploring the depths, he handed him the matter of collecting the Tianyuan Seven Color Grass.

Meng Mo's body was full of literary energy. He stood on the lake and commanded everyone. From time to time, he used a wolf-hair brush of unknown material to draw something in the void, mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to drive away some water beasts in the lake. Drive away.

Chi, chi, chi...

However, at this moment, streams of light fell not far away, and then quickly fell on the shore. The leader was a handsome young man, who looked like a young man who had stepped out of a scroll.

Behind him, Haodang followed many young geniuses, both men and women, whose bodies were filled with brilliance and extraordinary aura.

"not good."

"Jiang Lan..."

Meng Mo's expression changed and he recognized the person.

The rest of the people around him quickly became panicked and began to put away the jade bottles floating in the air.

"He's from Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. Xiao Teng is indeed here."

"Sir, what they collected is Tianyuan Seven Color Grass..."

"The value is amazing, each plant can be exchanged for high points."

Behind Jiang Lan, a young prodigy looked over, and quickly recognized the objects that were as brilliant as seaweed, and his eyes were a little fiery, and he spoke.

"Grabbed it." Jiang Lan looked calm. He just spoke briefly and concisely, not wanting to waste time.

"Jiang Lan, you..."

Meng Mo's face was extremely ugly and angry, but when he saw the people behind Jiang Lan, he immediately understood that they were definitely no match.

But he didn't want to give away the Tianyuan Seven Color Grass he had collected, giving Jiang Lan a huge amount of points.

"Destroy all the jade bottles. I would rather destroy them than let him get them."

He quickly calmed down, then spoke and ordered everyone to destroy the jade bottle.

At the same time, the literary energy on his body was steaming, as mighty as the bright sun, with a pure and bright aura, and the shadow of an ancient book vaguely appeared behind him.

He took out the wolf-hair brush from before, with a serious look on his face, and swayed it in the void. Words appeared one by one, dazzling and shining like stars, moving the general trend of the world and pressing towards the people in front. And go.

The entire lake is in turmoil, the lake water is boiling, and the terrifying spiritual energy storm is gathering with frightening momentum.

Meng Mo not only had to destroy the jade bottle, he also had to delay Jiang Lan so that Xiao Teng could have more time to explore the depths.

However, his approach did not have any effect.

In the void, a quiet aura flashed past, and along with a terrifying sword aura that made people tremble with fear, the whole world seemed to be frozen.

The next moment, the phantom of the ancient book was cut in two with a sword, turning into a blur of literary energy and disappearing.

At the same time, an ancient sword that had not been sheathed pierced his shoulder with a whoosh, causing the wolf hair brush in his hand to escape and fall directly.

However, before the brush fell into the lake, it was cut into two pieces by a sword energy and shattered into pieces.

"Pfft..."

Meng Mo was traumatized, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face suddenly turned pale. It was an imitation of the Manjusri pen given to him by His Majesty Emperor Xia, and it broke like this.

From the beginning to the end, he never saw the figure of the person who made the move, and could only faintly smell the fragrance slowly dissipating in the void.

"Miss Li's strength is really terrifying..."

"I'm afraid none of us can be the enemy of Miss Li."

Luo Ying, Ao Xu and other young geniuses were secretly shocked when they saw this scene.

Li Mengning, a quasi-saint of the Taiyi Sect, did not take many shots after entering the Qianyuan Mansion, but each time she only used one sword to easily injure the enemy.

After taking action, her figure disappeared again.

As Meng Mo's sword was defeated, the other young prodigies behind Jiang Lan stepped forward and quickly snatched away the jade bottles. After counting, there were always more than a dozen Tianyuan seven-color grass, and another large amount. Points obtained.

Jiang Lan didn't waste any time and asked them to arrest Meng Mo and others and asked Xiao Teng where they were going.

Meng Mo and others naturally refused to speak. If they were in the outside world, Jiang Lan would not show mercy to them, but after all, now in full view of the public and with Emperor Xia watching, he naturally would not kill them.

So they asked Ao Xu and others to torture them. Naturally, they had the means to make Meng Mo and others talk.

Unable to withstand the torture and being watched by the outside world, and losing face, Meng Mo and the others had no choice but to inform Xiao Teng of his whereabouts.

But a day and a night have passed, and they don't know where Xiao Teng and the others are exploring now.

"Then let Xiao Teng come over. You have the Jade Talisman of Communication on your body. If he values ​​you so much, he will probably not see your cultivation level wasted and you will become a useless person from now on."

Jiang Lan frowned slightly and said calmly.

When Meng Mo and others heard this, their expressions changed dramatically, and many of them turned pale with fear.

If they lose their cultivation, they will be no different from useless people in the future, and Xiao Teng will definitely not treat them like before.

Moreover, without the protection of Zhenbei Palace, it would be easy for Xiangguo Palace to deal with them.

In the outside world, many people were a little dissatisfied with Jiang Lan's actions, especially the people in Zhenbei Palace, but they could only endure it, their eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

But I have to say that this is indeed Jiang Lan's style.

The battle for the Qianyuan Mansion naturally resulted in casualties. He did not let Meng Mo and others be killed. In fact, to a certain extent, it was considered a mercy.

As for whether the Prince of Zhenbei will seek justice from the Prime Minister's Office afterwards, it's uncertain...

On the surrounding mountains, there are longing figures, and many people are already watching the excitement.

Many of the young prodigies who came from behind were secretly frightened when they saw the scene that took place by the ice lake, especially those who had been robbed by Jiang Lan.

"Fortunately, we didn't offend him. Otherwise, given his character, if he killed us, we would just have to admit that we were unlucky. Who would seek justice for us afterwards..."

"Even His Majesty Emperor Xia would probably turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it."

"These guys in Zhenbei Palace can only pray that Xiao Teng will come back to save them after learning the news."

"Actually, His Majesty Xia Emperor shouldn't have suddenly added such a reward. If there was no Hualong Pond, maybe this person wouldn't have come in..."

"It's a good time. Everything went into chaos all of a sudden. All the points we had worked so hard to accumulate were wiped out."

Many young people sighed and complained.

Emperor Xia from the outside looked at Jiang Lan with a vaguely evil look.

She kindly opened the Hualong Pond, but Jiang Lan made such a scene for her.

The news spread quickly, and many young geniuses in Qianyuan Mansion also learned about it.

Many young people who had no idea about the position of leader, after thinking about it, also rushed towards that area.

There has never been a shortage of people who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, not to mention that Xiao Teng was still a well-known presence in the imperial capital. He had a dazzling aura since he was a child, and his strength and talent were extremely tyrannical.

"Haha, if Xiao Teng and Jiang Lan encounter each other, there is a high probability that Xiao Teng will suffer."

"Although there are many strong people around him, and his own strength is also good, the Saint of Taiyi Sect beside Jiang Lan is enough to defeat everyone..."

"However, Jiang Lan probably didn't expect that he would also be targeted."

"Although the Saint of Taiyi Sect is strong, she cannot be the opponent of that girl in white. That guy is a complete monster."

Xia Jie, the third son of Prince Wu Xuan, Chong Xiuyuan, the eldest son of Chong'an County Prince's Palace, and others followed the girl in white riding a snow-white horse and watched her go all the way to the depths of Qianyuan Mansion.

And she seemed to have a goal, and she was not walking without direction. Judging from the information she received, the place she was going now should be the same area where Jiang Lan was.

It can be seen that she is also thinking about Jiang Lan's points now.

This made the young dignitaries who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time excited and eager to see how Jiang Lan would suffer a big loss at his hands.

The girl in white didn't care who the other person was or what his identity was. She would grab him when it was necessary and never say a word more.

He was extremely cold and indifferent, which made it impossible for all the young dignitaries to lose their temper.

Especially when they saw that she had no scruples along the way and was not worried about encountering danger when passing through some dangerous areas, this shocked them even more.

This is not only strong, but also reckless.

"Jiang Lan, you are really bullying me. You treat me like I'm easy to pinch, over and over again..."

"One day, I will make you pay the price and regret what you did."

At this time, Xiao Teng was standing in front of an underground cave that looked very ancient, holding the jade talisman of communication in his hand, his expression extremely ugly.

The cold underground river flows turbulently and converges into a deep and icy cold pool here. The green lake water is filled with a strange coldness.

And in the depths of this cold pool, there is a jade-green strange flower blooming, gorgeous and magnificent, but the surrounding temperature is frighteningly low, and no living thing dares to approach it.

He originally wanted to spend some time picking this strange flower, but there was no time left for him now.

If he leaves Meng Mo and others alone, even if he gets the position of leader this time, his reputation will be greatly damaged.

As for Jiang Lan, he has no reputation at all... He doesn't care about this.

"Let's go and meet Jiang Lan. Let's see how arrogant he is going to be. In full view of the public, I won't bear it this time."

Xiao Teng took the rest of the people and left here quickly.

At this time, in the deepest part of Qianyuan Mansion, there were mountains shrouded in mist.

A blurry figure sat there cross-legged, surrounded by thick fog, unable to see clearly, it was Ye Ming.

Even the people outside can't clearly see the area here and know what's going on.

He is using the ancient method taught by the old ghost to lead to an empty and chaotic place ahead.

The atmosphere there was very chaotic and blurry, like a cracked abyss, or like a valley mouth that was formed at an unknown time.

A lot of heavy mist drifted out from there, and then enveloped the entire Qianyuan Mansion.

His body was shrouded in a gleaming light, and every acupuncture point seemed to come alive. There was an extremely surging suction force coming out, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.

The roaring wind can easily blow some rocks into powder, which contains extremely terrifying energy.

But under the ancient method he was practicing at the moment, it seemed to have turned into a tempered hammer, constantly beating his fascia and skin.

As Ye Ming's ancient method moved faster and more violently, his skin also faintly exuded a hot aura, and the color of the Gangfeng also continued to deepen.

"Appeared……"

Suddenly, the old ghost's somewhat urgent voice sounded in his mind, which shocked Ye Ming.

Then he looked at the crack, with a burning look in his eyes.

In the howling wind, there is a thick and yellowish aura. The yellow color is extremely obvious and completely different from the surrounding matter.

It is heavy, chaotic, and lingering with some vitality like the mother of the earth. Just a wisp of it seems to be able to easily collapse the surrounding rocks.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his physical body seemed to be unable to bear the breath, and began to show signs of collapse, with blood seeping from every pore.

"It's not just pure chaotic aura, it's also accompanied by a wisp of black and yellow mother energy..."

"Good guy, why are you so lucky that you can encounter Xuanhuang Mother Qi in a place like this?"

"It's just that with your current strength, I'm afraid you can't keep this ray of black and yellow maternal energy, nor can you bear it."

The old ghost was also shocked, and then felt incredible.

But soon, he became worried. Such a rare treasure of heaven and earth, with Ye Ming's current identity and strength, could never be saved.

Even if he leaves Qianyuan Mansion safely, he will soon be targeted by others, not to mention that at the auction meeting, Ye Ming was targeted by many forces because he took out a life-extending artifact.

Now, he will definitely become more famous and attract attention, and it will be impossible to leave secretly.

"The black and yellow mother energy is said to contain the secret of the beginning of the world and the origin of all things..."

"It should be left over from the birth of this small world."

Ye Ming's heart was burning. Looking at the black and yellow mother's energy slowly coming out of Yuan's mouth, his body was in severe pain, as if he was about to be crushed by that breath.

Although he longed for excitement in his heart, he also knew that with his current strength, he simply could not bear this wisp of black and yellow maternal energy, and he could not find a suitable container to contain it.

"No, it's not just the black and yellow mother's energy, there's something else behind it."

At this time, the old ghost's voice sounded again, full of surprise and disbelief.

Ye Ming also quickly calmed down and looked over.

Boom!

The mountains shook, as if a major earthquake had occurred at this moment. An inscription that was dozens of feet high and shrouded in chaotic mist rose from the ground.

The sacred radiance spilled from these inscriptions, but they were all blurry and shrouded in chaotic mist, making them extremely mysterious.

I don’t know what kind of material these inscriptions are made of. They look like sacred gold or raw stones, and they convey a sense of ancient vicissitudes.

And that wisp of black and yellow maternal energy was wrapped around the inscription, and the surrounding chaotic mist was rising and falling.

The movement here was very loud, as if the mountains were shaking violently, opening up the world. Even from a long distance, many monks noticed it and looked there.

The surging light instantly dispelled the thick fog, as if there was some kind of divine object floating there.

"What is this?"

Ye Ming lowered his gaze and looked carefully, only to find that there was an inexplicable aura surging in front of the inscription, blocking his vision.

Then, whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the inscription was getting smaller quickly. In the blink of an eye, it went from more than ten feet to the size of a palm. There seemed to be some kind of spiritual wisdom in it.

When he wanted to touch it, there was a gentle buzzing sound, and the black and yellow maternal energy shook.

He suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, as if he was hit by a huge mountain. His body flew out, and mouthfuls of blood spurted out from his mouth.

"This thing should have intelligence. It doesn't look like it was brought out by you. You'd better not come into contact with it easily..."

"The gods have spirits and will choose their own owners." The old ghost was shocked.

Ye Ming stood up with difficulty. Hearing this, he felt a little unbelievable and unable to accept it.

Isn't this what he induced? And this simple stone tablet actually has intelligence?

In the void, stone chips fell one after another, and Ye Ming noticed that it was not a stone tablet, but something like a token.

After the outer stone skin fell off, the inner color was revealed, which was like a bronze material. It was simple and thick, shrouded in chaotic mist.

"This looks a bit like the Babel Monument..."

A somewhat incredible sound came from the old ghost's shock.

"Tongtian Monument, what is this?" Ye Ming asked hurriedly.

The old ghost shook his head. He didn't know how to explain it to him for a while, so he could only tell him, "This thing is said to have once stood on the bank of the Tianhe River. How could it appear here?"

Buzz!

And just when Ye Ming was shocked by this, the Babel Monument wrapped in the aura of chaos in front of him suddenly trembled slightly.

There seems to be some kind of spiritual consciousness awakening in it, and ripples like ripples are spreading one after another, shaking the void and blurring it.

"How can it be……"

The next moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide, full of disbelief.

He saw the Tongtian Monument turning into a thick bright yellow aura, disappearing with a whoosh in front of his eyes, and fled towards the distance.

Ye Ming, who reacted, was naturally unwilling to let the divine object disappear in front of his eyes, and hurriedly chased after it.

To him, this is equivalent to a cooked duck that flew away immediately. How to accept it?

"You'd better not chase it easily. Divine creatures have spirits. In addition to being able to choose their masters, the fact that they take the initiative to revive may not be an accident, but someone did it intentionally."

"Something terrible may appear in this Qianyuan Mansion." The old ghost reminded him with a solemn voice.

But at this time, Ye Ming was full of unwillingness. He had no intention of containing the chaotic spiritual energy he had drawn out, and just wanted to recover the Babel Monument.

The old ghost sighed and knew that Ye Ming was so angry that he couldn't listen to advice. Whoever it was, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

I stayed here for a whole day and a night, but the opportunity I was about to get suddenly flew away.

Even if it doesn't explode on the spot, it can be regarded as a good Qi-nurturing skill.

If we had known about it earlier, we might have set up a formation in advance and intercepted it...

"Xiao Teng will come. He can't leave these guys alone."

"For him, reputation is much more important than points..."

And now, on the other side.

Dressed in white, Jiang Lan has an outstanding appearance. He stands with his hands behind his back. The water is surging at the foot of the peak. A waterfall hangs down, stirring up mist and making the mountain appear hazy and cloudy.

In the steaming mist, his figure became even more slender and straight. In the eyes of many people, he seemed to be a relegated immortal coming to earth, and he was extremely refined.

"However, there is only less than half a day left."

"Sir, what if that guy really doesn't come?" Ao Xu and others glanced around.

Jiang Lan smiled slightly and said, "Then the cultivation of these people will be ruined."

Before the lakeside, Meng Mo and others looked pale and slumped, their cultivation levels had been sealed, and they were thrown aside.

The surrounding mountains are already full of people, and it is extremely lively and can be described as a grand occasion.

Many people were talking and waiting, wondering whether Xiao Teng would come, and looked into the distance.

"coming……"

At this time, someone suddenly screamed, and there was a commotion in the distance.

"Jiang Lan..."

An angry roar sounded, smoke and clouds rolled, the sky rumbled, and the heavy fog began to disperse.

Xiao Teng was riding on a strange beast. He had already rushed over as soon as he learned of the summons.

At this moment, he was wearing armor, exuding precious brilliance, and his hair was like ink, with a radiant glow. He looked like a young god of war, and many followers and subordinates rushed behind him.

"rat."

"If something is coming for me, let me go."

He stared hard at the snow-white clothes, his eyes could not hide his anger, and suddenly a black and cold spear appeared in his hand, flashing with an icy aura.

"It seems that you really rushed here, but it's okay, it saves me sending people to find you."

"Hand over everything you got, and I will release these people. This battle in the Qianyuan Mansion should come to an end."

"No need to waste my time anymore."

Jiang Lan stood on a high place, calmly overlooking Xiao Teng, and his tone was even more casual.
