That's What Villains Are Like
Chapter 168: Cutting flesh with a dull knife only hurts. The future will only be a vain dream. Come
The night wind sobbed, passed through the ancient courtyard of Shenlou, and then circled among the pavilions and palaces for a while, before finally dispersing into the corridors and corridors, causing the high-hanging golden lamps to sway.
It's late at night, everything is silent, peaceful and plain.
boom! ! !
At this time, a shocking loud noise suddenly came, and the high walls of the surrounding palaces were shaking.
The ancient tree trembled, and a slender figure quickly exited from the palace door, and then stood on the top of an ancient tree.
Jiang Ruxian is dressed in snow-white clothes, which outlines her beautiful fairy body in an extremely moving way. Her black hair dances lightly and is slightly scattered to her chest.
Her face, as delicate and fair as jade, with no flaws at all, could be called perfect, but at this moment, there was an indescribable red glow.
There was a trace of blood on her lips as delicate as petals, but it did not affect her beauty at all. She was a little less refined and cold like a fairy, and more delicate and charming than petals.
"Jiang Rushian, are you going too far?"
At the entrance of the palace, Jiang Lan walked out.
He straightened the collar of his somewhat messy robe, with an extremely cold expression. In his palms, one bright rune after another could be seen flashing, containing an extremely powerful aura.
Jiang Rushian's mood at this time also calmed down a little.
"I……"
She wanted to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
How to explain?
Did your mood fluctuate violently just now and couldn't control yourself? Is that why you act impulsively?
But even she herself didn't believe this excuse. With her cultivation reaching this stage, could she still be unable to control her own mood?
All this is just her true intention.
"You know my feelings..."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Rushian said softly.
"Emotions? What you call feelings is just to make up for your guilt. I have already said that we have nothing to do with each other. I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me anything."
"I won't pursue what happened tonight, but I won't do it next time." Jiang Lan said calmly.
Jiang Rushian looked at him blankly.
"I know you want to take revenge on me, but don't be so heartless, okay..." She murmured.
Jiang Lan reached out and touched his chest, and it seemed that he could still feel the feeling of the exquisite immortal heart with seven orifices beating in his chest.
But now, that heart has long been returned to Jiang Rushian.
"I never wanted to take revenge on you."
"Whether it was before or now, all I want to do is to break up the relationship with you." Jiang Lan looked indifferent.
"Why……"
"Why can't you give me a chance to do this to me..." Jiang Rushian was still murmuring, the pupils in his eyes trembling slightly.
"Although I don't understand why you are different now from the future I know, but I believe there must be a reason."
"Jiang Rushian, you have also seen the future, right?" Jiang Lan looked at her calmly.
Hearing this, Jiang Rushian's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer Jiang Lan.
"Don't be silent..."
"Answer me, Jiang Ruxian."
"You are such a proud person, you should not bother to lie." Jiang Lan still looked at her.
"sorry……"
Jiang Ruxian's heart felt stinging and congested, but he did not dare to look directly at Jiang Lan's eyes at this time.
She suddenly realized that from this moment on, the distance between Jiang Lan and her seemed to be getting farther and farther, so far that she no longer dared to reach out and touch him.
"sorry……"
Her eyes kept trembling, her expression became gloomy, and she repeated it again.
"That's true."
After receiving this expected answer, Jiang Lan laughed, his tone self-deprecating, as if there was something he only knew about it.
Jiang Ruxian lowered his head and fell silent.
This should have been a secret that she kept deep in her heart forever, but with Jiang Lan's mind, she guessed the clues.
Not only does she know the future, she has traveled from the future back to the present.
"If this is your feeling as you said, then tell me, what is the future you know like?"
"If you didn't know that part of the future, how would you treat me like this?"
"Kill me? Destroy my tomb and spread my ashes?"
Jiang Lan said with a mocking smile, "No matter in the past or now, I, Jiang Lan, have been kind enough to you."
Hearing these words, Jiang Rushian's face turned pale.
"Don't use your so-called debt and guilt as so-called feelings to insult me..."
"Jiang Rushian, you are not worthy."
Jiang Lan ignored her and turned back to the palace. The door of the palace closed with a bang behind him.
Jiang Ruxian's face was as pale as paper. She didn't even know how to answer Jiang Lan's series of questions.
So much so that she even felt a little confused and bewildered in her heart.
In fact, as Jiang Lan said, the future he saw was indeed what she had experienced personally.
She couldn't defend or deny it.
The reason why she chose to hide this from Jiang Lan was that she did have her own selfish motives and subconsciously did not want to admit what she had done.
To this day, she still carries that cowardice.
But after tonight, the two of them were open and honest, and she felt much more at ease.
"future?"
"No, that is no longer the future, it will only be a vain dream."
Jiang Ruxian stroked his heart, and his mind quickly returned to calm. Then he turned around, with a flash of light, white clothes fluttering, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The movement here just now would have alarmed many people, but Jiang Rushian didn't want to make the matter known to everyone, so he took action to cover everything up.
Jiang Lan returned to the hall, and the expression on his face returned to calm.
He silently felt the luck emerging from the Niwan Palace. The Sui Dao Fruit would soon mature to the third stage. Jiang Ruxian was worthy of being banished to an immortal, and had provided him with a lot of luck in a short period of time. .
In comparison, the luck brought by attacking He Lianwen's state of mind was pitiful.
As for what he said just now, part of it was actually his truth. According to the original plot, Jiang Rushian wanted to kill him indiscriminately, so he should be his biggest enemy.
Now he is just trying to improve her luck and spoil her mood, which is not too much.
It only hurts when a dull knife cuts flesh.
As for whether Jiang Rushian was acting out of guilt, compensation, or true feelings, Jiang Lan actually didn't care.
No one is perfect, no gold is perfect, so Jiang Ruxian's feelings towards him are all sincere, without any compensation for the debt?
To be honest, it's really a bit overwhelming.
Jiang Lan himself didn't think he could do this.
The next day, a piece of news quickly caused a sensation in the major cities of Feixian Island, causing great heated discussions and discussions.
When the four princes received the news, they immediately came to Jiang Lan to report.
Among the Helian family and the Gongsun family, there was even more turmoil.
In the courtyard, Jiang Lan was sipping tea, and the four princes told him the news one by one.
Behind Jiang Lan, Kong Xuan, Yuan Kong and others were also surprised and shocked.
The myth of the young generation of the Immortal Island, the transcendent goddess Tantai Qing in the minds of countless young heroes, was actually injured last night and was escorted back to the clan by many people from the Tantai family.
This situation reminded them of the day when Jiang Lan was attacked and killed by barbarians.
Is it possible that the barbarians have set their sights on the younger generation of the three guardian families?
So unscrupulous?
"According to the news, Tantai Qing's injuries seemed to be quite serious. However, when she encountered the enemy, there was no one around her and she was unprepared."
"This matter is really full of doubts. However, the Tantai Family has kept a tight seal on the specific matters and details and has not revealed them." King Zhong had a solemn look on his face.
Jiang Lan put down the tea and said, "Miss Tantai Qing has been in contact with me a lot these days. She was attacked and injured. Due to emotional reasons, I have to go and visit her in person."
"Prepare the chariot."
"Yes, Holy Lord." The four princes quickly ordered, and they also planned to follow.
At this time, in the small world where the Tantai family is located.
In the mansion complex where Tantai Qing usually lived in seclusion, there were usually very few maids, but now there were no people around, and many clan members had arrived.
But just waiting outside, only some senior officials and elders were able to enter.
In the room, Tantai was half-leaning on the red sandalwood bed, covered with a thin silk quilt. His face was pale with a hint of blackness, making him look even more weak.
The patriarch of the Tantai family and several elders were frowning and talking about something in the room.
One of them held an unfolded letter in his hand. Although there were signs of being kneaded, the handwriting was clearly visible.
"I really didn't expect that He Lianwen would appear again after so many years. Everyone was watching him jump into the devil's abyss, but who knew he was still alive."
"Confused..."
"You're confused, Qing'er, how could you believe this letter and go to see him in person?"
"Well, you can't blame Qing'er. She values friendship and still doesn't believe the fact that He Lianwen has fallen into the devil's path. She even tried to persuade him to return from his lost ways, so he succeeded in sneak attack."
"It's not easy to deal with being haunted by demonic energy. If you're not careful, your cultivation will turn into running water. That's why He Lianwen has such a vicious mind."
"Qing'er was extremely kind to him, but he wanted to destroy Qing'er..."
Several elders showed indignation and anger, and they had already learned the whole story from Tantai's mouth.
A few days ago, she suddenly received a letter, which was sent by her ex-fiancé He Lianwen, who had stolen the Three Holy Heart Refining Pills from the Elder Pavilion and finally jumped into the devil's abyss. The letter expressed deep concern and invited her to go See you at Wangfu Cliff.
Tantai Qing was very happy that He Lianwen was not dead, so he secretly hid the news from many tribesmen and elders, and did not let his subordinates follow him, and decided to go to see him alone.
But who knows where, she will be attacked by He Lianwen and she will be seriously injured. Fortunately, she is good at cultivation and successfully forces He Lianwen back. Then she hurriedly crushes the jade communication talisman and lets the tribesmen rush there...
After knowing all this, the elders of the Tantai family were filled with hatred and anger.
But now that things have happened, they can't blame Yu Tantai Qing.
"I have already reported this matter to the Elder Pavilion. I want to tell you why the Helian family has been against us all these years. It turns out that they deliberately concealed the news that Helianwen was not dead..."
"He Lianwen's destiny has always been with the Helian family. Whether he is alive or dead, the Helian family will definitely know."
"This guy has a vicious mind and has fallen into the devil's path. He must be hanging out with the demons now. The injuries on Qing'er's body are the best evidence."
The attack on Tantai Qing had a great impact. After several elders of the Tantai family reported it to the Elder Pavilion, an elder came personally to investigate the matter thoroughly. It was Tantai Qing. Grandfather, Tantai Xu.
The elders of the Elder Pavilion are different from the family elders. They are the decision-makers responsible for all matters of the entire Feixian Island. They hold high positions and must be at least in the Eighth Bridge Tribulation Realm to be eligible to be elected.
Most of these elders of the Tantai family are only in the sixth level.
After receiving the information from the Elder Pavilion, elders from the Helian family and the Gongsun family also set out to bring some clan members to the Tantai family to confirm whether the matter was true or false.
The Helian family, in particular, paid unprecedented attention to this matter, and even had a heated discussion within the clan.
"It is true that Qing'er was infected by demonic energy. Regardless of whether it was He Lianwen's fault or not, colluding with the demons on Feixian Island is a capital crime."
"If this letter was written by Helianwen, his breath will definitely remain on it. When the Helian family arrives, how will they explain it?"
Tantai Xu has a majestic face, deep eyes, and his hands are much wider and thicker than ordinary people. He looks like a common martial artist or martial artist.
There was killing intent in his cold eyes.
All the elders of the Tantai family were somewhat silent.
As a powerful person, Tantai Xu drives the power of heaven and earth with every move he makes.
Although he is far from reaching the level of a saint, in the eyes of other monks, he is as powerful as a god and has no intention of resisting at all.
Tantai Qing remained silent and just leaned on the bed quietly. His pale face was full of weakness, and he seemed to feel guilty and sad because of this matter.
Soon, people from the Gongsun family and the Helian family also arrived. The three guardian families were not far from each other. It didn't take long to arrive after leaving the small world.
The leader of the Helian family is a spirited old man with a long and wide cloud-patterned robe. His cultivation level is much stronger than that of ordinary elders. He is already at the Seventh Dharma Realm.
His name is He Lianxiang, and he is He Lianwen's grandfather.
The head of the Gongsun family is an old woman, holding a snake staff, and her cultivation level is also at the seventh level.
Several people had obviously known the ins and outs of the matter through the Elder Pavilion, and they came here just to confirm whether it was true.
After He Lianxiang arrived, he looked at the letter. His thin palms trembled slightly, but he quickly recovered and hid the excitement in his eyes.
"He Lianxiang, this letter was written by your grandson himself. You must recognize his handwriting." Tantai Xu said coldly.
Although he and He Lianxiang are of the same generation, he had a fortune in the early years and his cultivation level broke into the Eighth Level Bridge Tribulation Realm, while Helianxiang is still at the Seventh Realm Dharma Realm Realm.
Hearing this, He Lianxiang did not speak, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were still looking at the letter.
"He Lianwen betrayed the Helian family. He is no longer my grandson. As for the handwriting on this letter, I cannot tell whether it is his."
"After so many years, I can't remember many things clearly, not to mention handwriting. As long as someone familiar with it can imitate it, it's nothing." He Lianxiang shook his head and said.
Tantai Xu coldly snorted and said, "Don't pretend to be confused. You, the Helian family, know best whether Helianwen is dead or not. You know whether his life lamp was extinguished or hidden by you. "
He Lianxiang was not afraid of him at all, even though this was the territory of the Tantai family. Hearing the words, he said calmly, "Why bother to accuse him? Tantai Xu, God is watching what you do. If you slander and slander, you Tantai The aristocratic family is very good at it.”
Seeing the two of them, they were about to get into a tense situation. The old woman from the Gongsun family on the side quickly tried to persuade her, saying, "Why do you two have to argue? There are many ways to change one's appearance, change one's body and shape one's bones in this world. The person Qing'er saw, It’s also possible that someone else is pretending to deliberately sow discord among the three families including me.”
"The Demonic Abyss is moving, and the barbarians are hiding in secret. These troubled times are not the time for fighting."
"There is no need for the Tantai family to be angry about Qing'er's attack. The three of us are united as one. Next, we will send people to search everywhere. We will definitely be able to find clues and give Qing'er an explanation."
"If that doesn't work, go to the Elder's Pavilion and ask for the ancestral weapon to trace the scene that night?"
At the end of the sentence, her eyes moved slightly, which seemed a little meaningful.
"The ancestral weapons have been accumulated for many years and cannot be used unless it is a matter of life or death. If the ancestral weapons are used and a demonic disaster breaks out, how can we resist it? Will Qing'er have to bear the blame in the end?" Tantai Xu snorted coldly.
He Lianxiang did not express his position.
The three major guardian families all have the suppressive heritage of clan weapons left by their respective saint ancestors.
In addition, there is an ancestral artifact in the Elder Pavilion that was forged by three ancient saints to deal with disasters on Feixian Island. However, it only needs the residents of the island to sacrifice and provide the power of faith as savings. Come to motivate.
"In this case, we can only let the Elder Pavilion send people to investigate first, and Qing'er can only feel aggrieved first." The old woman said with a smile.
Tantai Qing remained silent until he heard the words. He nodded gently and said, "Qing'er, listen to what your grandfather and elders say."
Tantai Xu's face was a little gloomy.
As He Lianwen's grandfather, He Lianxiang insisted that he didn't recognize the handwriting on the letter, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Unless the Elder Pavilion can personally order the Helian family to compare the auras above, the Helian family is as cunning as a fox and will definitely hide everything related to Helianwen in advance, including his life card.
With him alone, it is difficult to put pressure on the entire Elder Pavilion.
The other elder of the Tantai family in the Elder Pavilion belongs to another lineage and may not necessarily support him.
Tantai Qing seemed to be aware of what his grandfather was thinking, and gave him a calm look.
At this time, someone suddenly came from outside to report, "Jiang Lan, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, together with the four princes, came to visit the young lady."
Several people in the room were slightly stunned.
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, in terms of historical background, it is far inferior to the saint's family. However, behind it is a current saint who dominates the world.
And that saint was Jiang Lan's grandfather.
With this kind of relationship, even if Jiang Lan is just a junior, it would be difficult for several people to treat him casually when visiting him in person.
"Go and greet him." Tantai Xu ordered and walked out of the house first.
He Lianxiang and the old woman from the Gongsun family frowned slightly. These days, because of the Chamber of Commerce, the Tantai family and the Xiangguo Mansion seemed to be very close.
Now Jiang Lan actually brought the four princes to visit, which is not good news.
"Help me up..." Tantai Qing's eyes flashed and he stretched his arms out of the thin quilt.
The maid on the side hurriedly came to help her.
In the courtyard, the scenery is beautiful. Not far away, you can see the silver waterfall falling, and the spring water flowing down the stream. There are many ancient trees planted on both sides, which have bloomed, and the petals are crystal clear, making it look very peaceful.
Jiang Lan walked up surrounded by the four princes and a group of followers. Many members of the Tantai family followed and looked at him secretly.
