That's What Villains Are Like

Jiang Lan drank her drink and turned a blind eye to Fairy Miaoyin's eyes. She waved her hand and said,

"Fairy, if you have something to do, just say so. If you don't have anything to do, don't disturb my son's music."

"My master doesn't have the time to spare. You are wasting your time here with the fairy."

In fact, he could vaguely guess the purpose of Fairy Miaoyin's visit.

In the Goddess Palace behind her, there is a treasure called Yaoguang Xianyu.

The origin of this treasure is mysterious. It is said that it was cultivated in the Fluctuating Star Field nine days away over tens of millions of years. It contains the secret of Fluctuating Light among the Seven Stars, but it was tragically lost many years ago.

Not many people know about this matter, even the other top immortal sects don’t know much about it.

But Jiang Lan, who is familiar with the plot, knows it very well.

The current palace owner of the Goddess Palace is also Xiao Teng's biological mother. She once stole the Shaoguang Immortal Jade together with the Great Xia State Master Ge Qixing, and then warmed it in Xiao Teng's body.

Xiao Teng's star master, who was also the palace master of the Goddess Palace, and Ge Qixing, personally joined forces and spent a huge price to steal the secret of heaven and usurp it for him.

The two of them then used the method of changing their fate against the will of heaven to gestate the remnant soul of the Lord of the Stars deep in Xiao Teng's body, hoping that he could replace the Lord of the Stars in the future.

During this process, the two of them can also take this opportunity to plot the time and space secrets and many good fortune opportunities left by the Lord of the Stars.

The Lord of the Stars is a figure who commanded the stars in ancient times and understood the supreme creation.

Although he died for unknown reasons, the good fortune he left behind still arouses the envy of countless people.

Fairy Miaoyin bit her lower lip, but she didn't expect that Jiang Lan's attitude would still be the same.

If he was really a dandy, he would have become obsessed with her long ago if he was so seduced by her.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm actually here to ask you for something." She sat back and filled up the empty wine glass in front of Jiang Lan.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Lan looked at her, gently shook the wine glass, and said, "If the fairy has something to say, you might as well say it clearly. I like people who are smart and straightforward."

"The Nu family knows that Xiao Teng, the third son of Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, and Mr. Jiang have always had conflicts. Some time ago, the two of you had a conflict over Xie Jianjia, the daughter of the Xie family..."

Fairy Miaoyin said, "But now the Xiao Mansion is constantly benevolent. Even because of the Blood Immortal Cult, it has not been implicated much. Mr. Jiang..."

Jiang Lan suddenly smiled and interrupted her, "Don't you have something to ask for? Why are you talking about the grudge between me and Xiao Teng again? If I want to deal with him, I need your support." Recruit?"

"Or do you want to lend my hand to deal with Xiao Teng?"

Fairy Miaoyin said quickly, "Young Master Jiang is overly worried. How could the Nu family think so? I just feel that there is something special about Xiao Teng and may be hiding a secret, so I want to tell Young Master Jiang."

The national preceptor Ge Qixing could not visit and was not seen behind closed doors. If she showed up at Zhenbei Palace, she would probably be noticed by the palace owner.

Her master is now the great elder of the Goddess Palace, and has been fighting openly and secretly with the palace owner for many years.

With Xiao He's nature, once he knew that she was paying attention to Zhenbei Palace, he would definitely send a secret message to the palace owner.

As a result, it will become more and more difficult for her to investigate the secrets about Xiao Teng.

She always felt that there was some unexplainable fishery between Xiao Teng, the palace master, and the national master Ge Qixing.

"Hide a secret?"

Jiang Lan's eyes moved slightly, as if he was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the secret?"

Seeing his interest, Fairy Miaoyin immediately curled up her lips. She was not in a hurry to answer directly, but said, "A secret that Young Master Jiang will definitely be interested in."

Jiang Lan immediately sneered and said, "Then what secrets does Xiao Teng have, and what does it have to do with me? Fairy, do you still want to use this to make a deal with me? Then you may be thinking too much. In comparison, This young master is more interested in fairies."

"It just so happens that I'm short of a maid recently. If the fairy is diligent and quick, I might consider it."

Fairy Miaoyin was not annoyed when she heard this. Instead, her smile grew thicker, her eyes sparkled, and she said, "Master Jiang wants the slave family to be a maid. If this matter is spread, I don't know how much public outrage it will cause."

"I don't know how much public indignation there is. I only know that if you continue to talk nonsense and waste my time, I will really consider sending someone to your Goddess Palace. I believe the owner of the Goddess Palace will be happy to work with me in the Prime Minister's Palace. Make good friends and send you to me as a maid..." Jiang Lan said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Fairy Miaoyin stopped laughing immediately.

She knows the current situation in the Goddess Palace better than anyone else.

The relationship between the palace lord and her master, the great elder, is like fire and water. If the Prime Minister's Palace intervenes at this time and proposes this condition, the palace lord may really persuade all the elders to agree to this matter.

Jiang Lan seemed to say this casually, but in fact he wanted to tell her... Even if he was thousands of miles away, he knew the situation in the Goddess Palace.

"Everyone really underestimates Master Jiang..." She looked at Jiang Lan and suddenly didn't know what she was thinking.

Jiang Lan remained speechless and continued to search through memories in his mind, but the memories of the plot related to Fairy Miaoyin can really only be described as fragments.

In the original plot, she was not even a supporting character.

Even if he now explores her destiny, it is indeed mediocre, just the level of a beautiful girl from heaven.

If she was special and had extraordinary luck, maybe he would consider taking her for his own use.

But...could it be that there was some kind of change in her?

"I know that Young Master Jiang has obtained the Immortal Fetus Dew of Creation, and I have a strange meteorite in my hand that is wrapped with the true blood of the Immortal Phoenix."

Fairy Miaoyin spoke again, changing her name from "Slave" just now, her demeanor also lost her previous charm and became much more cautious.

"Immortal Phoenix True Blood?" Jiang Lan reached out and tapped the table gently, which was somewhat surprising.

However, this was just an excuse he used to intercept Hu Ye's face recognition, not that he really needed the blood of Immortal Phoenix.

But if there is any, it is better than nothing, and it can be used in conjunction with his subsequent condensation of the second natal magical power related to the Huangxu Hunyuan Sutra.

"I don't know how rich and pure the drop of Immortal Phoenix's true blood that Xie Jianjia once got is, but the Immortal Phoenix's true blood inside the meteorite in my hand is as big as a fist, its aura is extremely surging, and it contains amazing life. The breath seems to be transformed into an immortal phoenix and resurrected from nirvana at any time..." Fairy Miaoyin said.

Naturally, she would not carry such a precious thing with her easily.

So when he spoke, he raised his jade hand, and the mist of stars turned into a mirror, which reflected a fist-sized stone with a gray appearance and some traces like the veins of leaves. From the cracks, you can see the golden light spurting out. Xia Xi.

Jiang Lan glanced at it and could indeed tell that it was the pure aura of the Immortal Phoenix clan.

"Tell me, what do you want?" he asked.

"I want Mr. Jiang to help me catch Xiao Teng." Fairy Miaoyin said bluntly.

Jiang Lan smiled and said with interest, "You are quite courageous. Xiao Teng has an official position. As a disciple of the Immortal Sect, you want to attack the court officials. Aren't you afraid that the Goddess Palace will be liquidated by the Immortal Suppression Division?"

"So I want to ask Young Master Jiang to do this. After the matter is completed, I will prepare a small gift." Fairy Miaoyin said seriously.

"Instead of looking for me, it would be better for you to contact Xiao Teng directly and use a little trick to capture him unconscious. Wouldn't it be easier?" Jiang Lan agreed in no hurry.

From the moment Fairy Miaoyin was able to produce the true blood of the Immortal Phoenix, he guessed that she must have received some kind of inheritance opportunity.

Otherwise, she would not have allowed so much Immortal Phoenix true blood to not be integrated and refined. The only explanation is that it is inconsistent with the techniques she has practiced and the inheritance she has learned.

The reason why she noticed Xiao Teng now must be because she noticed something strange about Xiao Teng.

After all, in the Qianyuan Mansion, the scene where Xiao Teng almost controlled many stars in the sky shocked everyone at the time, and many people were discussing and speculating afterwards.

Fairy Miaoyin showed a hint of helplessness and said, "Xiao Teng is the third son of Zhenbei King after all. How dare I attack him easily? Not to mention the retaliation afterwards, I may not succeed."

"You want me to help you catch Xiao Teng, but that's not enough. You also know that Xiao Teng has a special status, and I don't want to cause trouble for no reason." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.

Fairy Miaoyin looked completely unsurprised and said, "This is not a trouble for Mr. Jiang. After a while, a star skeleton ruins will be opened. Xiao Teng has a star body. In order to temper his body, Inspire the power of bloodline, and you will definitely go there when the time comes..."

Hearing this, Jiang Lan's heart moved slightly. Fairy Miaoyin even knew about the ruins of the star skeleton.

There must be some secrets hidden in her.

The subconscious meaning of these words is that he does not have to choose to take action at this time, he can wait until Xiao Teng leaves the imperial capital.

"I have to say, you have piqued my interest." Jiang Lan put the strange color in his eyes away and suddenly smiled.

He also planned to use Xiao Teng to plot against the national master Ge Qixing. The jade in his body was also something he had been eyeing for a long time. Fairy Miaoyin planned to drive away tigers and devour wolves, and she would reap the benefits.

Jiang Lan could teach her the consequences of seeking skin from a tiger.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang has agreed?" Fairy Miaoyin also showed a slight joy on her face.

Jiang Lan said without comment, "This matter depends on Fairy Miaoyin's sincerity."

"Don't worry, Master Jiang. In order to show my sincerity, I will order someone to send the meteorite to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." Fairy Miaoyin stood up, bowed Yingying, and then planned to leave.

Jiang Lan had no intention of keeping her.

As soon as Fairy Miaoyin left, he seemed helpless, got up and came to Xiaoque's window, saying, "Here you are, why don't you show up? Do you need to hide here and eavesdrop?"

"Didn't I meet Young Master Jiang and Fairy Miaoyin from the Goddess Palace and talk to Yan Yan honestly? Isn't it okay to disturb the good things of the two of you?" A cold snort sounded in the side room.

The figure, as pale as blue smoke, slowly solidified, and then turned into a slender figure with a black hair crown.

Her face is as white as jade, and her facial features are delicate and delicate. She is wrapped in moon-white clothes and covered with a red-black cloak, revealing her delicate and graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones. A few strands of black hair fall from her crystal ears, and her brows are looking forward. , and with a kind of majesty and stunningness that is unparalleled in customs.

Emperor Xia had his hands behind his back and looked down at Jiang Lan with a look of displeasure on his face.

Jiang Lan stared at her face, as if he didn't recognize it for a long time, and seemed to be stunned because it was too gorgeous.

Emperor Xia was stared at by him, and for some reason, he was the first to be defeated. He couldn't stand his almost naked inspection, so he took the lead to look away and snorted, "What? Mr. Jiang, could it be that Don’t you recognize me?”

"This is indeed the first time I've seen Your Majesty with such an appearance and dress."

"It's quite strange." Jiang Lan also retracted his gaze and replied casually.

Since Emperor Xia had made no secret of his identity, he naturally followed her.

"It's quite weird? What's weird? This is my original appearance." Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows slightly and sounded dissatisfied.

"It's so pretty." Jiang Lan said.

Emperor Xia still wanted to say something, but he suddenly took it back. Although he felt weird in his heart, he didn't feel disgusted. He even felt a little relieved, but he still snorted coldly, "Glib tongue."

Jiang Lan seemed to be no longer surprised by her tone. He changed the subject and congratulated a little perfunctorily, saying, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for successfully breaking through the Eighth Realm. This success must have solved a lot of worries."

"Shouldn't Your Majesty be correcting memorials in Chengming Hall now? Why do you still have time to come to Yuxianfang?"

When she mentioned this, Emperor Xia felt upset. She waved her hand, and a round stool not far away appeared in front of her.

The round stool that Fairy Miaoyin had been sitting on just now was thrown aside casually by her.

"I came to you. Naturally, I have something to discuss with you. It is very important and cannot be delayed." She sat down directly and said in a serious tone.

Jiang Lan nodded, looked up at her, and motioned for her to continue speaking, but his face still looked casual and not very concerned.

Seeing his attitude, Emperor Xia immediately became a little dissatisfied. He reached out and patted the table in front of him vigorously, making a loud noise, and said, "I have something to discuss with you. Why are you so perfunctory and casual? I don't take it to heart." Go up? Could it be that you are still thinking about that woman just now? "

Jiang Lan seemed to know nothing about her current anger, and just said, "When did His Majesty's affairs become my affairs? I have no obligation to find a solution for you every time."

"Solve your own affairs by yourself."

"You..." Xia Huang's jade hands clenched tightly immediately.

"I helped His Majesty make suggestions regarding the national weapon to suppress the Dragon Seal. Regarding the Southern Hunting Exercise, if I hadn't come up with a way to delay your Majesty's time, Your Majesty wouldn't have had the chance to break through the Eighth Realm."

"How come in the end, His Majesty resented me the most?" Jiang Lan interrupted her immediately, and everything Emperor Xia wanted to say was blocked by him.

Emperor Xia also knew that these things were all thanks to him, and Jiang Lan did help her a lot.

For this reason, he can no longer withdraw from the world and hide his talents and bide his time as he did before.

Therefore, her attitude towards Jiang Lan was very tolerant and casual, and she did not treat him like a minister.

"The Zhenlong Seal is lost."

At that moment, Emperor Xia stopped talking nonsense and spoke directly with an expressionless face.

Jiang Lan seemed to be planning to pick up the wine glass and take a sip. Hearing the words, his movements were slightly stagnant, as if he had not yet reacted.

He raised his gaze, frowned, and looked at Emperor Xia as if indicating.

Emperor Xia remained expressionless and repeated, "The Seal of Zhenlong is lost."

Judging from Jiang Lan's performance in front of him, it seemed that he didn't know about this yet. Prime Minister Jiang Lintian must have rushed directly to the palace after getting the secret letter.

But yes, this kind of thing is of great importance. Every more person knows about it, there is more risk of leakage.

An old fox like Xiang Guo is not comparable to a simple-minded warrior like Zhenbei King Xiao He.

"Sure?"

Jiang Lan slowly put down the wine glass, and the expression on his face became serious and cautious, and asked, "How can something go wrong in such a seamless plan?"

Although Emperor Xia didn't want to admit it, this was the fact.

Seeing Jiang Lan's questioning and suspicious eyes at this moment, she was also very irritated and helpless, and then felt inexplicably guilty.

If she hadn't trusted Zhenbei King Xiao He too much, this incident might not have happened.

In the past few days, she had also been thinking that if she handed over the important task of guarding the Palace of Eternal Life to her uncle, Prince Chong'an, the Blood Immortal Sect's conspiracy would probably not succeed, and the Dragon-Suppressing Seal would not be lost.

"I don't want the Zhenlong Seal to be lost, but there was really nothing we could do at that time..."

She clenched her jade hands tightly, and at this moment she had to tell the story of what happened deep in the palace that day.

After Jiang Lan listened, he fell into deep thought.

Emperor Xia didn't know why, but after experiencing those few things, he felt that Jiang Lan was reliable and had a reassuring smell about him.

So today, when she was forced to marry by the Prime Minister in the palace, she was helpless and didn't know how to deal with it, so she immediately thought of Jiang Lan...

"Jiang Lan..."

At this moment, I saw Jiang Lan sitting there without saying a word, and there was no change of emotions on his face.

Emperor Xia felt guilty and irritable for no reason, like a child who had been caught doing something wrong and was waiting for criticism from an adult.

While waiting, I felt guilty and nervous.

"It has been so many days, and Your Majesty suddenly told me about this? Did something unexpected happen, or someone got the handle, and you don't know how to deal with it, and then you came to me?" Jiang Lan looked at Emperor Xia and asked in a tone of voice Calm, a change from the casualness just now.

Emperor Xia felt even more guilty when he looked at him. As the Lord of Great Xia, he had broken through the eight realms, but now his momentum was suppressed by Jiang Lan.

She couldn't even say a word of quibble. After all, her approach was indeed a bit too utilitarian.

Before something happened, you tried to hide it, but after something happened, you immediately went to him to find a solution?

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so wary of me. I said before that since I will help you, I will definitely help you."

"You don't need to keep an eye on the throne so closely, like guarding against thieves. What you care about and what I care about are completely different things."

"Tell me, what's the trouble?" Jiang Lan continued with a calm expression.

However, Emperor Xia could clearly feel that his tone was much more distant and unfamiliar, far less casual and teasing than before.

She clenched her jade hands subconsciously, feeling suddenly very irritable. She didn't know why she felt very uncomfortable because of Jiang Lan's sudden change of attitude.

"Your father, Jiang Lintian, came to the palace shortly after the morning court ended with a secret letter. In it was the content of the Blood Immortal Cult inciting him to fight with me. In addition, he also informed him that the Dragon-Suppressing Seal was lost and now Things that are in the hands of the Blood Immortal Sect.”

"The Prime Minister used this as a lever to threaten me and make me..."

Emperor Xia took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and began to explain, but when he got to this point, he paused and found it difficult to speak.

Jiang Lan seemed a little surprised, then frowned slightly and guessed, "Is it related to me?"

Emperor Xia looked at him and hummed.

Jiang Lan still frowned and looked at her.

Emperor Xia then said very awkwardly, "The Prime Minister is forcing me to get married, and he plans to let me make a marriage contract with you."

Jiang Lan seemed surprised and shocked when he heard this, frowning and saying nothing.

Emperor Xia took a breath and quickly regained his composure. He looked at Jiang Lan and waited for his next words.

She knew that Jiang Lan could definitely guess Xiang Guo's intention.

There was nothing she could do about this kind of thing. Now she could only let Jiang Lan find a way to see if she could get rid of the matter.

"My father didn't tell me about this. He used the topic to his advantage. He must have had far-reaching considerations. On such a major matter, his will will not be shaken by others."

"It won't do me any good at all if he does this." Jiang Lan frowned, seeming to be thinking about countermeasures.

After hearing this and seeing the resistance and displeasure on his face, Emperor Xia became more and more irritable and uncomfortable.

Why does he still feel that he is at a disadvantage? No benefit at all?

I am the Eternal Empress, and he has become my Phoenix Lord. Does it feel wronged to him?

However, Emperor Xia did not show his dissatisfaction on his face and still looked at Jiang Lan expressionlessly.

If you don't take into account the antagonistic relationship between the Prime Minister's Office and her, she actually doesn't have such a big resistance to this matter... But now that she is weak, the children born to her and Jiang Lan in the future will definitely be named Jiang, and it is impossible to follow her surname of Xia.

This huge country and country will also be handed over to outsiders.

"I will go back and discuss with my father personally to ask him to take back this idea." Jiang Lan also showed that he attached great importance to this matter at this moment, stood up, and planned to leave.

Emperor Xia looked at his rare anxious look and finally couldn't hold it back. He asked what he had been holding back in his heart and asked, "Jiang Lan, what do you mean?"

Jiang Lan seemed confused and frowned, "Wouldn't it be a good thing for Your Majesty and me to take this matter back? Why are you angry about this?"

"I..." Emperor Xia was speechless when he heard this.

She didn't know why she was angry, but her anger came out of nowhere.

"If you can't help it, forget it. If the Prime Minister knows that you have been in contact with me, it will not be good for you. After all, you are the son of the Prime Minister. How can you keep helping outsiders to deal with your own father?"

Emperor Xia waved his hand, and his tone at this time sounded a bit weak and resigned.

Jiang Lan was slightly surprised, as if he was surprised that she would say this.

However, he didn't say much, bowed his hands slightly and left.

Emperor Xia looked at the empty wing and sighed inaudibly.

She rubbed her brows, feeling that she seemed to have missed something. So what did Fairy Miaoyin from the Goddess Palace want to see him for?

No, why would I care about such a thing?

But if this matter cannot be resisted, how will Jiang Rushian explain it? She might find a way to kill herself.

Emperor Xia's head started to hurt.

With a slightly dazed look on her face, she returned to the palace and was absentminded all day.

After the morning court ended the next day, Emperor Xia received the news that Jiang Lan was detained by the Prime Minister. As for how many days, she had no idea.
