That's What Villains Are Like

"Master Jiang came to visit Qing'er in person. He hasn't come far yet, but I still hope to forgive you."

An elder from the Tantai family led the way and said apologetically while holding his hand.

"You're welcome, elder."

"Miss Tantai and I hit it off and talked happily. It's thanks to her that she took me around Feixian Island in the past few days. I heard that she was attacked and killed last night, and I was very worried and concerned. I don't know Dan. How is Miss Taiwan's injury now?" Jiang Lan asked.

As he spoke, he ordered his men behind him to deliver the healing medicine that he had visited.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern. Qing'er's injury has been stabilized. Elder Tantai Xu from the Elder Pavilion has rushed back and has seen it personally..." the elder replied.

Jiang Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Jiang Lan was so concerned and worried about Tantai Qing and didn't seem to be cheating, many members of the Tantai family moved their eyes slightly.

Especially some young tribesmen couldn't help but think of something.

Tantai Qing and Jiang Lan had become quite close in the past few days, and many monks and souls had seen them hanging out in some shops and restaurants, talking and laughing, walking side by side, like a couple.

Jiang Lan is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he also has another identity, that is, Fengjun of Daxia, the husband of the current Empress of Daxia.

Does he really not care about reputation and reputation when he is so unabashedly hanging out with Tantai Qing? Aren't you afraid that this news will reach Emperor Xia's ears?

Or, as the outside world has speculated, the current Xia Emperor is just a puppet at the mercy of the Prime Minister's Government?

Soon, many members of the Tantai family, led by Tantai Xu, followed in the courtyard.

He Lianxiang and the people from the Gongsun family fell behind.

Although Jiang Lan is only a young junior, he represents the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, and he must be given enough face on the surface.

It's just that people from the Helian family and Gongsun family are not as good-looking as those from the Tantai family.

At that moment, He Lianxiang cupped his hands, said nothing, and walked out with his clansmen, his face indifferent.

The old woman from the Gongsun family said, "Brother Tantai Xu, I have to go back to the clan to explain this matter. Afterwards, I will definitely cooperate with the Tantai family to find the real culprit who attacked and killed Qing'er."

"I won't continue to accompany you."

Neither Helianxiang nor the old woman paid much attention when they passed by Jiang Lan.

After all, they were also powerful figures in the family of saints behind them. Even when facing Jiang Lan's father, Jiang Lintian, they had the same attitude. When they became famous all over the world, Jiang Lintian might not have been born yet.

Jiang Lan is just a young boy who is not even a fraction of their age.

Looking at this scene, Tantai Xu's face was gloomy, with a hint of anger, but he did not get angry.

"I hope Mr. Jiang will forgive me."

"People from the Helian family and the Gongsun family are extremely resistant to the recent news circulating on Feixian Island, that's why their attitude is like this..." An elder from the Tantai family on the side hurriedly explained upon seeing this.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "Young people can understand that the family of saints has existed for more than ten thousand years. When the world was in chaos, they were born to assist the emperor, establish government order, and serve as prime ministers of the country. Naturally, the family of saints does not deserve too much attention."

Although he said this, the faces of all the Tantai family members here looked a little unnatural, and some dissatisfaction could be heard.

The Tantai family is also a family of saints, but even the Tantai family cannot say anything that would put the prime minister's government in their eyes.

Tantai Xu said at this time, "The Gongsun family and the Helian family do not want to make progress and are stuck in their own ways. Sooner or later they will be abandoned by the times."

"Young Master Jiang Lan has such strength at such a young age. He is truly gifted. He is among the best among men. It will not be a problem for him to catch up with Li Sheng in the future."

"Senior, you have given me too much praise. This junior's cultivation cannot be put on the stage. Grandpa's cultivation is unparalleled in the world, and he is unpredictable. How can I compare with him?" Jiang Lan waved his hands and smiled when he heard this.

The elders and clan members of the Tantai family heard some meaning from it. As a powerful person, Tantai Xu is one of the six elders in the Elder Pavilion. He holds great power in the clan and can be said to have a high and powerful position. He is the clan leader. Their opinions must also be listened to.

But he seems to be interested in getting close to Jiang Lan?

To be precise, it was because of Li Sheng.

Tantai Xu said seriously, "I accidentally met Li Sheng when I was overseas many years ago. I benefited a lot from listening to the holy words at close range. Young Master Jiang Lan is Li Sheng's grandson, and he traveled thousands of miles to Feixian Island. . I have been favored by Li Sheng, and I should personally welcome him because of my feelings and reasons. It’s just that there are many things in the Elder Pavilion during this time, and I can’t get away from it. "

"Now that Qing'er is injured, it's really shameful that I bother Mr. Jiang Lan to come and visit him in person."

"The seniors are joking, and they are embarrassing the juniors. How can you rely on grandpa's reputation when you are away from home?" Jiang Lan said with a smile.

The members of the Tantai family and the four princes couldn't help but marvel in their hearts when they saw the two talking and laughing freely, without being affected by their seniority at all.

After all, he was one of the top young dignitaries in the world, yet he was so calm in the face of a powerful man.

The elders of the Tantai family would not dare to be so casual in front of a powerful figure like Tantai Xu.

And they could also see that Tantai Xu's attitude towards Jiang Lan was not like treating a junior, but like peers discussing friendship.

Many members of the Tantai family became more active.

Later, Jiang Lan asked about the details of Tantai Qing's attack.

Tantai Xu's eyes flashed slightly, but he did not hide anything. In front of the four princes, he told everything that the Tantai family had learned.

"He Lianwen, the former sixth son of the Helian family, is still alive?"

They were extremely shocked and shocked.

The incident in which He Lianwen stole the sacred objects from the Elder Pavilion and finally jumped off a cliff to his death caused a huge uproar on Feixian Island and was well known to everyone.

Everyone believed that he was bound to die. How could the human race survive in the depths of the Demonic Abyss filled with demonic aura?

"Not only did she not die, but she also deceived Qing'er on the pretext of meeting her, launched a sneak attack, and seriously injured her..." Several elders of the Tantai family shook their heads.

At this time, Tantai Qing, who was supported by the maid, also walked out of the wing. She was wearing a light yellow dress, a green snail bun, and a little powder on her face. She looked much better.

"I was just wondering why Qing'er hasn't come out for so long. It turns out she still needs to dress up..."

"Why, are you worried that Young Master Jiang Lan will see that sickly look?" Tantai Xu joked with a smile.

"grandfather……"

Tantai Qing seemed a little shy because of his words, a faint blush appeared on her face, and then she bowed to Jiang Lan Yingying and said, "Qing'er has met Young Master Jiang."

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern. Qing'er's injury has improved a lot now."

"Then He Lianwen is really ruthless. Don't worry, Miss Tantai, I will ask people to help you search for his traces and find him." Jiang Lan sighed slightly.

"Qing'er was too careless and trusted him credulously, so he suddenly attacked and killed her."

"I thought he..."

Tantai's eyes were as bright as water, as if they could speak, but when he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and fell silent.

"Hmph, until now, the Helian family is still hiding it and refusing to hand over Helianwen's life lamp. I see that Helianxiang came here in a hurry just to make sure whether the letter is Helianwen's handwriting. , how could he not recognize him with his level of cultivation?" An elder of the Tantai family was very angry.

The rest of the Tantai family members also had expressions of indignation on their faces.

"If the Helian family insists on protecting Helianwen, it will be extremely difficult to determine his identity..." Jiang Lan also shook his head slightly.

Tantai Xu said coldly, "No matter what, we will definitely let the Helian family give an explanation to Qing'er. We can't just let this matter go."

"I will put pressure on the Elder's Pavilion. Even if the Helian family doesn't want to, they must hand over Helianwen's life lamp and announce it to the world..."

After that, he gave the order in front of Jiang Lan and gave the order.

All members of the Tantai family also retreated.

Jiang Lan, on the other hand, was persuaded by the elders of the Tantai family to stay and decided to have lunch before leaving.

His visit to Tantai Qing was only secondary. The main purpose was to contact Tantai Xu, the powerful figure in the Elder Pavilion.

In the original plot, Tantai Xu was ruthless and only interested in profit, and compared to Tantai Qing, he did not show any concessions.

It was with his help that He Lianwen succeeded in stealing the sacred object of the Elder Pavilion, the Three Saints Heart Refining Pill.

Jiang Lan contacted him just to confirm his attitude towards himself and the other two saint families.

Now it seems that it is just as he expected.

Tantai Xu's public show of intimacy is the most important signal for Jiang Lan, and it will also be the most critical step in his next move.

As one of the six elders of the Elder Pavilion, Tantai Xu must know the omens left by the ancient Three Saints, and understand that the demonic abyss cannot be sealed. Sooner or later, the formation patterns left in it will be broken, and the demonic disaster will come again. That is also Sooner or later.

The only way for the Tantai family to survive the catastrophe is to evacuate in advance.

But with the current strength of the Tantai family, if they want to move away the entire small world where the clan is located, they will inevitably lose all the savings accumulated over the past ten thousand years.

During this period, they may also be attacked and ambushed by enemies on the way to migration and evacuation, and their ten thousand-year-old foundation may collapse and dissipate, and be destroyed in one day.

If the small world wants to jump in the turbulent space, it must need a large amount of mana as support. Without a saint sitting in charge, it is almost difficult for the small world to be activated.

Tantai Xu mentioned his grandfather Li Ran in front of him three times today, and he must be planning for the next plan.

If you want to evacuate safely, the surest way is to have a living saint to protect you and guide you.

Tantai Xu then wanted to connect with his grandfather Li Ran through Jiang Lan.

"Qing'er, you and Jiang Lan have gotten very close recently. How is your relationship?"

In the courtyard, after everyone retreated, Tantai Xu did not leave.

After rejecting many maids and servants, he put his hands behind his back and asked about Tantai Qing.

"What does grandpa mean by this?" Tantai asked as if he didn't understand, with his head bowed.

"What do you think of Jiang Lan? I want to hear your true thoughts." Tantai Xu asked in a different way.

"Returning to my grandfather, Jiang Lan does not match the rumored image of the dandy second generation ancestor. He is gentle and warm in conversation, has a decent manner, has extensive knowledge, and has profound cultivation. If they really fight, Qing'er may not be able to beat him." Dan Tai Qing seemed to think for a moment, and then answered honestly.

Tantai Xu smiled and said, "Qing'er, it's rare for you to have such a high opinion of a man, but he is indeed not simple. I have observed his cultivation, and there is still a vague feeling that I can't see through it..."

"Besides, seeing as he came to visit in person today, you are quite concerned about Qing'er."

Tantai was speechless.

"Do you have a good impression of him?" Tantai Xu suddenly asked.

Tantai Qing was startled, then shook his head and said, "Qing'er only wants to pursue the great road in this life, and has no love between men and women in his heart."

Tantai Xu sighed and said, "That's really a pity."

Tantai Qing raised her eyes and looked at him with some confusion.

Tantai Xu said, "I failed to kill Helianwen. This is a trivial matter. Soon, the Helian family will cease to exist. A mere Helianwen can't make any waves at all."

"The most important thing now is the future foundation of the family. I thought about it carefully and saw that Jiang Lan's concern for you today doesn't seem to be fake. So for the sake of the family, I can only let you sacrifice Qing'er."

Tantai Qing was startled, feeling that these words were a bit baffling.

It's so good, why did it involve sacrificing yourself?

"What does grandfather mean by this?" She frowned.

Tantai Xu turned to look at her and said, "The family may need to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Tantai Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly thought of something.

"Grandpa, I will become a female saint in the future, carrying the glory of the family and leading the family to another peak. Is it possible that you plan to marry me to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Moreover, Jiang Lan has already married the Empress of Daxia, is it possible that you want me to marry him? Used to be a concubine?" There was no concealment of shock and disbelief in her eyes.

"The Empress of Great Xia is just a puppet. Don't worry about her. Once you marry her, you will be the main palace. After the Demonic Abyss changes, the seal in it will collapse in half a year at the earliest and three years at the latest. When the time comes, the demonic disaster will occur. With the outbreak, there will be no Feixian Island left, let alone the three major aristocratic families."

"If there were a hundred years, it would be enough for you to grow up, but now there is no time. Before the evil disaster breaks out, we must do everything we can to get the family to evacuate. You are very smart, and you know that in this world, the only one who can help the family is ." Tantai Xu sighed, feeling a little helpless.

If they didn't have no choice, how could the Tantai family abandon a genius with the qualifications of a female saint?

Only they know how much effort and resources they have poured into Tantai Qing over the years.

It is actually possible to abandon the small world where the clan is located and evacuate, but without the support of the small world.

Can a family of saints still be called a family of saints? How is it different from an ordinary wealthy family?

Tantai Qing gritted her teeth. She was not stupid. When Tantai Xu said that the demonic disaster would break out in three years at the latest, she already understood the consequences.

There is no time, no time for her to grow up.

In three years, you want her to become a saint? This is simply nonsense.

Not to mention that there may be other changes during the period, causing a demonic disaster to break out in advance.

"Besides marriage, is there no other way? As long as there are enough benefits, I can definitely ask the Taiyi Sect to take action."

"Moreover, grandfather, how can you guarantee that after the Tantai family marries the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will not be annexed and cannibalized by it?" Tantai Qing was still unwilling to accept this result.

"As long as Qing'er becomes a saint in the future, this situation will not happen, so you are the most suitable candidate." Tantai Xu looked at her, his tone unquestionable.

Tantai Qing's eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, and he said, "That's just the best situation. How can I allow others to snore next to the bed? How can the Prime Minister's Palace let me become a saint?"

"So there is still Jiang Lan? Don't you think he cares about you? Then He Lianwen is known as the hope of the future of the Helian family, and he is being toyed with by you? Why can't Jiang Lan do the same?" Dan Tai Xu said.

Tantai Qing was suddenly speechless and clenched her jade hands tightly. Is she playing with Jiang Lan? At that time, we still don’t know who is being played by whom.

She felt that her grandfather still underestimated Jiang Lan's strength and methods.

It's just that there are some things that can't be said much and can only be kept deep in her heart, just like her secrets and ambitions.

"Let's leave this matter as it is. The family hasn't decided yet, but as long as I speak, the matter will be settled. You can also think of a way on your own." Tantai Xu waved his hand and left the courtyard.

"I don't want to be anyone's tool, not even my family."

Tantai Qing looked at Tantai Xu's leaving figure, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he clenched his hands tightly.

Just as there was an undercurrent surging in the land of the Tantai Family.

In the outside world, the news that He Lianwen, the former sixth son of the Helian family, attacked and killed Tantai Qing soon spread on Feixian Island, causing a great sensation.

With the Tantai Family's deliberate push, the news spread throughout the streets in just half a day.

Many people still didn't know who He Lianwen was, but soon after the local residents of Feixian Island explained his identity, they were shocked.

The sixth son of the Helian family, a proud man of his generation, is also Tantai Qing's fiancé.

Unfortunately, because of stealing the sacred items from the Elder Pavilion, after the incident was exposed, he fled to the Demon Abyss area and jumped down in one fell swoop.

This incident had become a shame for the Helian family, and they were secretly ridiculed by countless people.

The appearance of such a character in the dignified saint family is really a disgrace to the saint family.

The Helian family spent a lot of manpower to quell this matter, and now it has become a taboo topic.

But who knew that after so many years, He Lianwen, who was supposed to be dead, would reappear and sneak attack Tantai Qing, seriously injuring him...

According to the news from the Tantai family, Helianwen even colluded with the demons and used the demons' unique skills.

The sensation caused by this news can be described as explosive.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves.

The Helian family had no choice but to stand up and refute the rumors, saying bluntly that the matter was wrong. Helianwen had already died, and there was someone else who attacked Tantai Qing. It was probably a remnant of the demon clan in disguise, and it was definitely not Helianwen himself.

Another saint family, the Gongsun family, also stood up to explain, saying that the matter still needed to be investigated and that they should not make false statements easily to avoid falling into the demons' tricks and destroying the original relationship between the three major families.

More people still tend to believe that Tantai Qing was attacked and killed by someone pretending to be He Lianwen. After all, given He Lianwen's strength at the time, he would definitely die if he jumped into the Demonic Abyss even though he was seriously injured.

For a time, the situation on Feixian Island was turbulent, and various speculations emerged.

Jiang Lan was attacked and killed by barbarians on the long street. Not long after this, people from the demon tribe also appeared, probably hiding in the dark.

Many monks who came to Feixian Island to explore resources also took cargo ships and left this land of right and wrong.

In many areas of Zhongtian State, many informants of the Immortal Sect spread the news back, which also caused a great sensation.

The imperial capital of Daxia, Jingyang City, inside the Chengming Hall.

Emperor Xia was processing the memorial and frowning while listening to Chunlan's report next to him.

"Is Feixian Island already in such chaos?"

Chunlan said respectfully, "Originally, this was not the case, but the three great saint families have become inseparable in appearance, and the harmony they once had has long since disappeared. It is not uncommon for families to fight overtly and secretly."

"This time, the Tantai family was squeezed out by the other two saint families because they were closer to the Prime Minister's Palace. Tantai Qing is on Feixian Island and has a good reputation. She has countless suitors. Many people think that her future will be inevitable. As a female saint of a generation, it is normal for the Tantai family to be furious after this attack..."

Emperor Xia threw the memorial on the desk and said calmly, "A beauty is a disaster, that's it. Jiang Lan is also very close to her."

Chunlan paid attention to Emperor Xia's expression, but couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. She could only consider her words and whispered, "Fengjun will inevitably come into contact with people for the matter of Moyuan, and Tantai Qing is responsible. Regarding patrolling the Demonic Abyss, so..."

The implication is that Jiang Lan had no choice but to do something because something happened.

Emperor Xia waved his hand a little irritably, interrupted her, and said, "I understand, and you don't need to explain for Jiang Lan. Besides, how can I care who he gets close to?"

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Chunlan's mouth and she shook her head gently.

"By the way, go get a copy of Tantai Qing's portrait. I want to see what she looks like and whether she deserves such a reputation."

Emperor Xia rested his elbows on the desk and rested his plump and white chin on his palms. He looked outside the palace for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chunlan seemed to smile, then lowered her head and retired respectfully.

Emperor Xia looked dimly outside the palace.

The situation on Feixian Island is chaotic, so why is the situation in Daxia not like this now?

That day, the Xiameng was doing some conspiracy behind the scenes, so she sent the Supervisor Tiansi and the Zhenxian Division to solve it. Not long after, all kinds of rumors started popping up in another area. What about the wrath of the heavens, the drought for several years, and the loss of grains? Received all kinds of rumors.

She was really disgusted.

This feeling is like a buzzing fly that keeps flying in front of my eyes, but I can't kill it.

In addition, the news of the coming of Seven Stars has spread throughout Zhongtian Prefecture at some point.

In order to find the origin of the Seven Stars, some Holy Land Traditions in the other major states sent elders and disciples here, who refused to obey discipline and were not restrained.

There was great commotion in many places in Daxia.

Although Emperor Xia is also sending people to secretly investigate and find the origin of the Seven Stars, there has been no clue, like a headless fly.

She was also thinking that if Jiang Lan was around, maybe he would have methods and clues, and she wouldn't have to be so tired.

It was obvious that he had only left Didu not long ago, but Emperor Xia always felt that time passed very long and he felt a little boring for no reason.

After getting used to having him around, getting used to relying on him, now I feel at a loss what to do alone.

Obviously she was carrying everything by herself in the beginning.

Emperor Xia took out a crystal and warm jade talisman from her arms. Looking at the jade talisman for communication, she hesitated and hesitated, and finally took it back.

The situation on Feixian Island is not optimistic now, so it’s better not to disturb him...

But, hasn't he ever thought about taking the initiative to ask himself about Daxia's current situation? Or ask yourself?

Emperor Xia became a little angry for no reason.

In the study room of Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian held a jade slip in his hand.

"Lan'er's ambition is greater than I thought, but if his plan succeeds, the benefits will be absolute."

"The heritage of the saint's family that spans tens of thousands of years is not the most important. The most important thing is the small world."

"With my father's current cultivation strength, it is not difficult to open up another small world. Although it takes time, the trouble is management and development. The potential of the small world that has been operated for thousands of years exceeds that of the newly opened small world by an unknown amount. …”

"But this move is also extremely risky, and I dare not act rashly."

This jade slip contains some of Jiang Lan's plans and plans.

Wanting to plot against a saint's family is beyond what Jiang Lan can do with his current strength, so he must find a way to get his father's help.

In addition, Jiang Lintian must also inform Li Ran of the matter and let him know.

Soon, he accepted the jade slip and without hesitation, took out the jade talisman of summons and told his wife Li Qingshu about the matter, who would then inform his father Li Ran.

The stakes are too high to be careless.
