That's What Villains Are Like

Jiang Lan didn't mean to explain more. He waved his hand, and Yuan Kong, Kong Xuan and others behind him followed him and left the Shiling clan's territory.

As for what Shi Tian and Shi Shenghui think, it has nothing to do with him.

He still has some experience in dealing with mentality.

"grandfather……"

"Jiang Lan probably said that on purpose. Judging from what I told Zhaoyi to help me out yesterday, she is not such a person." After Jiang Lan left, Shi Tian's slightly gloomy expression relaxed. Guess said.

He was not a stupid person. He was indeed a little worried at that moment, but after thinking about it carefully, since Jiang Lan wanted to leave, he would just leave directly. Why waste time and say such words?

Of course, the main reason is that he trusts Nie Zhaoyi.

"But I don't understand how he knows about Zhaoyi's origins. Could it be that he also knows about the relationship between me and Zhaoyi?" Shi Tian frowned slightly.

"Jiang Lan is called the future Emperor of Heaven by the world, and that's not without reason. He naturally has his own methods. Even I can't see his fate clearly. Every time I try to deduce it, I find that there is a layer of fog covering it. "

"Maybe he really knows some secrets of the world." Shi Sheng also frowned slightly and guessed.

"Grandpa, since you are an old acquaintance with the king of Nie Er Kingdom, you might as well contact him directly and inform him of this matter."

"I actually don't understand. Since Zhaoyi remembers me, why doesn't the king of Nie Er country let her recognize me?" Shi Tian was very puzzled.

Hearing this, Shi Sheng sighed in a rare way and said, "Although I am an old acquaintance with that guy, I haven't seen him for a long time. At first, we had differences with him because of some things. In the end, Even when they met, they broke up on bad terms."

"Moreover, the reason why Nie Er Kingdom appears this time is probably because I want to seize the opportunity of great changes in the world. I am afraid that my friendship with the king of Nie Er Kingdom will not be able to persuade him."

"Grandpa, you are a saint. It is impossible for the king of Nie Er country not to give you even this little face."

Shi Tian wondered a little, "Is it possible that this person is also a reclusive saint?"

"He has not taken that step, but for some reasons, he was blessed with a destiny that defies the heavens. His lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary people. He is still in his prime even now. Ordinary supreme power is not an enemy of his. "

Shi Sheng shook his head and glanced at Shi Tian, ​​as if he knew what he was thinking. He waved his slightly dark and dry palm, and a faint glow flickered there, turning into a string of shiny peach stones. Bracelets.

"Since you want to see Nie Zhaoyi, then send this thing to me by the way. For my sake, the king of Nie Er will not make things difficult for you." He said calmly.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Shi Tian looked surprised, and immediately took it respectfully, and then withdrew.

The capital of Nie Er Kingdom was not big, and it was even far less prosperous than Nie City. Jiang Lan led a group of men and came straight to this city after leaving the Shiling clan.

He did not hide his identity, and the soldiers at the city gate did not dare to stop him. The moment he appeared in Nie Er's capital, many ministers had already received the news and came to greet him.

On the broad long street, luxurious chariots were ridden by handsome Pegasus horses, heading towards the palace. The vendors, street stalls, shops, and many pedestrians and merchants on both sides had been cleared away, making it look very empty.

The palace of Nie Er Kingdom has been built for some years, but it still looks very grand and grand, revealing a rich historical heritage.

"I heard Zhao Yi talking about this matter yesterday. Holy Son Jiang Lan is here. His noble feet are treading on humble soil. It is really a flourishing flower."

The current king of Nie Er Kingdom, named Nie Wushuang, came outside the palace and greeted him personally with only a few eunuchs carrying golden lamps and incense burners.

He looked very polite, with a smile on his face. He was dressed in simple silk casual clothes with the national flower of Nie Er Country embroidered on the collar and sleeves. His face was fair and easy-going. He looked like he was in his forties or fifties, but he was People of the same era as Shi Sheng lived for more than ten thousand years.

Next to the king of Nie Er Kingdom, Nie Zhaoyi folded his hands and placed them quietly in front of his lower abdomen, acting dignified and elegant.

Compared with yesterday's casualness, her dress today is obviously much more solemn and thoughtful. Her neck is slender, her eyes are bright and her teeth are as gentle and beautiful as hibiscus.

"The junior has met the monarch. The monarch joked. The junior came to visit and was greeted by the monarch in person. This junior is really flattered."

With a smile on his face, Jiang Lan asked his followers to wait outside the palace while he stepped forward with the gifts he had prepared.

"Holy Son Jiang Lan, you're welcome. Those who are wise come first. I am just a little older. In terms of strength, I am probably not the opponent of Holy Son Jiang Lan."

"It's a bit embarrassing for you to call me your senior."

The king of Nie Er Kingdom had a very humble attitude and always had a smile on his face. He smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand to lead the way.

This made Jiang Lan a little surprised. Lord Nie Er's attitude was a bit too humble.

But then I thought about it, with his status now, wherever he goes, which force's strongest person is not allowed to come out to greet him in person?

And Lord Nie Er lowered his body so lowly, it was probably because he wanted to ask for something.

In his impression, Nie Er Kingdom would be annexed by the Gouchen Star Territory in the Sifang Star Territory not long after its birth.

Since there is a request, then things will be easier to handle.

Deep in the palace, there is a picturesque cloud pool with curling mist. In the middle sits a giant bronze square cauldron, with fish and turtles cruising around. It is full of life, but compared to the Great Xia Palace, it is a bit too simple.

Even the number of palace maids and eunuchs was not large.

Lord Nie Er was very easy-going and talkative, placing Jiang Lan on the level of his peers. He did not ask Jiang Lan about the reason for his visit. Instead, he talked about the customs of Nie Er Country, the purpose of founding the country, history and other aspects. When he was happy, he summoned a group of palace ladies to dance in the palace to cheer him up.

Jiang Lan kept listening with a smile on her face, and only occasionally responded.

If an uninformed person saw the two of them having a long conversation like this, they would think that the two were close friends.

After arriving at the back, Lord Nie Er ordered someone to bring the spiritual wine that he had treasured for a long time and poured it for Jiang Lan himself.

Even Nie Zhaoyi, who had been accompanying him in the palace, couldn't help but frown secretly when watching this scene, feeling that her adoptive father's attitude was a bit too close.

If the people of Nie Er country were to see it, how would it look like?

"Our country, Nie Er, is located deep in the North Sea. During these years of hiding from the world, we have accumulated a lot of treasures. During this period, the prosperity and liveliness of Nie City must have been witnessed by Holy Son Jiang Lan."

"My country of Nie Er doesn't have much, but it has many treasures. However, as the king, I am weak and unable to keep such a huge wealth. And seeing the world changing so fast, who doesn't want to fight for it?"

"In the Gouchen Star Territory, there is my old enemy. He has obtained a drop of true blood left by Gouchen in the world. After three months, the world will change drastically, and he will definitely become a saint. Then he will definitely not let me go, Nie Er. Over the wine, Lord Nie Er also took advantage of the opportunity to express his helplessness and worries to Jiang Lan.

The ordinary supreme power is no match for him, but his mortal enemy is an existence that has already half-stepped into the holy realm.

The disparity in strength between the two is not just the slightest bit.

Nie Zhaoyi couldn't help but dim her eyes when she heard this. She naturally knew this. It was said that the great demon who had seduced Chen Star Territory wanted to devour her lichen grass growing in the living soil, so that her bloodline could undergo transformation. The head of the ruler goes one step further.

Lord Nie Er couldn't stand this and couldn't bear her being swallowed up by him, so he fought with her and the two formed a deadly feud.

Jiang Lan put down the wine glass and smiled and said, "Is the monarch a little unreasonable about this? There is a Stone Saint sitting in the North Sea. Who dares to invade? Your great enemy in the Goochen Star Territory has not dared to attack you for so many years. , is it possible that after March, you will have such courage?"

After hearing this, Lord Nie Er sighed, glanced at Nie Zhaoyi behind him, and said through a message, "Sage Jiang Lan doesn't understand. Sheng Shi and I did know each other, but that was a long time ago. I have been seeking the truth all my life and have no wife or children. Although Zhaoyi is my adopted daughter, I treat her as my own and love her very much."

"As for Shi Sheng's grandson Shi Tian, ​​his body is one of the three Sky-Mending Stones. Although his younger brother Shi Ning was also transformed from the Sky-Mending Stone, when he was gestating and giving birth to his sanity, he was eroded by Shi Tian's instinct and destroyed him. The nutrients have been plundered, so they are inherently deficient.”

"It is precisely for this reason that Shi Tian was perfected, making his foundation far beyond that of any living being. He is known as a born saint."

"Zhaoyi was born with the Sky-Mending Stone, and was innately contaminated with a ray of its aura. She was born with spiritual intelligence before Shi Tian, ​​which is equivalent to robbing her of a ray of innate good fortune. Shi Tian wanted to complete this good fortune. Zhaoyi’s foundation will definitely be taken away from now on..."

"This innate destiny has given Zhaoyi another fateful calamity. I'm worried that this calamity will happen to Shi Tian. When the time comes, she will die and her soul will be scattered. Shi Sheng has already known about this. Originally, Shi Tian I could have removed the innate destiny from Zhaoyi earlier and saved her life, but I refused on the grounds that she was destined to suffer such a calamity. I had a big quarrel with him because of this, and we parted ways from then on..."

When Lord Nie Er told the story, he did so through voice transmission and did not let Nie Zhaoyi behind him know.

Jiang Lan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Lord Nie Er to be so sincere and not hide anything.

However, he did have some impressions about this matter, and it was very similar to what Lord Nie Er said.

"Does the monarch tell me this because he wants me to help your Nie Er country after March?" Jiang Lan asked bluntly with a smile on his face.

"Although this request is a bit abrupt, in the land of Kyushu today, only the Taiyi Sect has such confidence and strength. No one knows what the environment of the world will be like after March."

"Maybe by then, Holy Son Jiang Lan, you will have become a saint..." Lord Nie Er said with a smile.

He was indeed very optimistic about Jiang Lan. Just after breaking through the eighth realm, he felt a heavy sense of oppression.

The rumors are true, Jiang Lan may really be invincible to a saint.

If he steps into the ranks of supreme powers, he might even be able to accomplish feats that defy the heavens and defy the heavens and conquer the saints with his mortal body.

If you make friends with Jiang Lan in advance, you won't suffer any loss.

"From the treasury of our Nie Er Kingdom, Saint Jiang Lan can pick whatever he likes." Lord Nie Er said again.

Even Nie Zhaoyi was deeply shocked when he heard this. Isn't this equivalent to giving away the treasury?

"The monarch is really a real person, but I have always liked dealing with real people." Jiang Lan smiled slightly, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Although Nie Er's country is small, its heritage is not inferior to those of those saintly families, and there should be a lot of good things in the treasury.

"In that case, let Zhaoyi take the Holy Son Jiang Lan to choose." Lord Nie Er looked happy, and he was very straightforward.

"However, before that, I have one more unkind request." Jiang Lan said.

"Sir Jiang Lan, please tell me..." Lord Nie Er said.

Jiang Lan looked at Nie Zhaoyi behind him and said, "Princess Zhaoyi must have told the monarch what happened yesterday. I want to find the resting land, and Princess Zhaoyi was contaminated with its aura, so I want to Princess Zhaoyi suffered for a while and stayed with me to help me find my resting place."

Upon hearing this, Lord Nie Er was stunned. Nie Zhaoyi's beautiful eyes behind him suddenly opened wide. She was so surprised and shocked that she subconsciously shook her head in rejection.

Let’s not talk about what will happen if she is allowed to follow Jiang Lan. How much impact will this incident have on her reputation?

"this……"

Lord Nie Er also hesitated a little.

There are many rumors about Jiang Lan, and the one that many monks talk about the most is the beauties around him, each of whom is beautiful and charming.

Many people who do good things say that they are romantic in nature and show mercy everywhere.

"Is the monarch doubting my character?"

Jiang Lan smiled, and then said unhurriedly, "I won't stay in Beihai for long. If Princess Zhaoyi can help me find the land of rest, that would be the best. If she can't find it, then I can only think about it." I thought of another way."

Lord Nie Er was also a human being, and he immediately realized that he was the one asking for help. Jiang Lan was fully capable and qualified, so he didn't have to sit here and talk to him.

In this world, everything is ultimately determined by strength.

"I can certainly trust the character of Holy Son Jiang Lan."

He sighed slightly, "But I can't make the decision for Zhaoyi, she has to agree."

"Princess Zhaoyi is so considerate, I think she will know what to do."

Jiang Lan stood up, looked at Nie Zhaoyi, and said with a smile, "Right, Princess Zhaoyi?"

Nie Zhaoyi pursed her red lips and did not accept the words. Instead, she said softly, "I will take Holy Son Jiang Lan to the treasury first."

At the same time, outside the capital city of Nie Er Kingdom, Shi Tian looked at the closed city gate, frowned, grabbed a guard in front, and asked, "Why did the capital city close so early today?"

The soldier obviously recognized him, and he looked a little scared and evasive, and explained, "In order to receive the distinguished guests, the king evacuated the irrelevant people, and the capital was closed for a day, and no one was allowed to set foot."

"Dignified guest..."

Shi Tian's face sank. He naturally knew who the so-called distinguished guest was.

He did not embarrass the guards guarding the capital. With his cultivation strength, it was not difficult to enter without anyone noticing.

"Whether the bracelet my grandpa gave me works or not..."

Shi Tian's figure flashed and disappeared outside the gate of the capital city. The next moment, he was already in the mountains hundreds of miles away.

He waved his hand casually, and a mighty force of wind emerged, tearing apart the void at will. Then he determined the coordinates of a certain time and space and stepped directly into it.

In Nie Er's capital, there are only restrictions and formations near the palace. However, under the guidance of Shi Sheng since childhood, Shi Tian has dabbled in all aspects of skills, so he can easily appear within the high walls of the palace, steadily. He stepped out of the void without disturbing anyone.

This was the first time Shi Tian came to the palace of Nie Er Kingdom. He was worried about alerting the patrolling guards, so he used the Qi Condensation method to cover his own aura, and also used a concealment technique to blend himself into the surrounding environment. , and then walked towards the depths of the palace.

His purpose was to meet the king of Nie Er and see if he could meet Nie Zhaoyi and reminisce with her.

But since Jiang Lan is being entertained, there must be no one in the rest of the palace. The king of Nie Er has never married and has no heirs. The huge palace seems very empty and deserted.

"Which direction is the palace where Zhaoyi usually rests?"

Shi Tian did not use his spiritual consciousness to explore at will, fearing that he would be noticed by the masters in the palace and cause unnecessary trouble.

So he was very careful all the way, walking through empty palaces, and finally passed through several high walls, when he faintly heard footsteps in the distance.

The pavilion and corridor are made of bluestone, with some wind chimes hanging on them. You can hear the faint tinkling sound, which is very melodious and sweet.

"Prince Jiang Lan, won't you stop taking a look? The treasury of my country, Nie Er, cannot be entered at any time. If you miss such an opportunity, there will be no second chance."

In Shi Tian's ears, the female voice was very soft and gentle, and at the same time very familiar. It was the woman who rescued him in Bai Yuxiang's car yesterday.

Zhaoyi...

As he muttered the name, his mood suddenly fluctuated greatly and became very intense.

Of course, he also heard the name "Jiang Lan" that he really didn't want to hear.

The two of them were actually here, not at the banquet, and they seemed to have even visited Nie Er's treasury?

"I have always been a contented person. No matter how many treasures I have, they are of little use to me. One or two items are enough."

Along with the clear ringing of the wind chimes, the voice of the man who spoke was clear and calm, as if the moon was white and the wind was clear, which could easily make a woman feel good about him.

"Sage Jiang Lan must be well-informed, and he doesn't like these treasures." The woman's voice seemed to be smiling softly, and she responded politely.

"Zhaoyi..." Shi Tian was still chanting this name, and the idea of ​​meeting him to reminisce was more urgent than ever in his heart.

He carefully concealed his figure and looked through the arched doorway on the other side of the pavilion. He could faintly see two figures. The man was refined and aloof. His white clothes were as white as snow. His hands were slightly clasped behind his back, and his posture was casual and free.

The woman beside him has a gentle and dignified manner, with a touch of pink and white on her jade face. She is not only beautiful and charming, but also sets off a softness and wisdom, like an orchid blooming in the empty valley.

The two walked side by side, seemingly talking as they walked. The woman was very polite and kept a certain distance from the other person.

Watching this scene, Shi Tian finally felt a little better. He didn't know why, but when he saw the two walking side by side, he felt sour and stinging emotions in his heart.

If Shi Sheng hadn't told him the cause and effect, he might never know the origin between that woman and him in his lifetime.

"Zhaoyi...sister..." Shi Tian whispered in his heart.

At this time, a faintly smiling voice came from the front again, "No, actually those treasures are not what I want."

"What does Holy Son Jiang Lan want?" Nie Zhaoyi was slightly startled and asked softly.

"I want you." Jiang Lan suppressed her smile and became serious.

Nie Zhaoyi's head buzzed when he heard this, and it seemed to go blank all of a sudden. His beautiful eyes widened instantly, and he was at a loss.

Shi Tian, ​​who was watching this scene not far away, was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of these words. His hidden aura was almost unsteady, his eyes were full of gloom and anger, and his fists were clenched tightly.

He was resisting the desire to rush out, trying to calm down and not be impulsive.
