That's What Villains Are Like

"Did you hear that?"

"What's going on?"

"Isn't it said recently that near Anyang City, the inheritance cave of an ancient great supernatural power user named Zhenjun Zixia is about to appear?"

"I heard it, but is this news true or false?"

"Where did this news come from? Why do I feel that in the past few days, many monks have come to Anyang City every day, and even some foreigners have appeared. It seems that they are all here because of the rumor."

"I heard that it seemed that a certain guy was talking nonsense when he was drunk, bragging to his companions that his ancestor had a relationship with that True Lord Zixia. And that True Lord Zixia once told his ancestor that he would bring his own The inheritance cave remains here for those who are destined to do so.”

"As a result, the news spread somehow, and now everyone knows about it."

"In order to verify the authenticity of the news, some people personally went to explore the surrounding areas, and some people read some ancient books, and they really discovered that there was once a great supernatural power user named Zhenjun Zixia. It just so happens that he has also performed holy manifestations in nearby areas..."

"What you are talking about is a coincidence. The number of monks who have appeared in Anyang City in the past few days is far greater than before."

"I even saw some disciples of the Taiyi Sect, as well as the Ancient Dao Sect and the Tianyao Palace..."

Anyang City, in a lively wine shop.

Ye Ming has already restored his original appearance and is sitting by the window.

There were some appetizers in front of him, and he quietly listened to the conversations of the drinkers around him. There was no wave on his face, but his palms under the table were clenched for no reason.

He did not expect that in just a few days, a lot of news related to Zhenjun Zixia would spread quickly in Anyang City like a frying pan, and even spread to the rest of the world, attracting many monks to flock here.

Nowadays, monks can be heard talking about the inheritance of Zhenjun Zixia’s cave in every place in Anyang City.

This made him extremely shocked, surprised, and puzzled at the same time.

Because according to what the old ghost said, Zhenjun Zixia's cave has always been a secret, and not many people know about it.

Even if you know it, you can't say it so blatantly. After all, the fewer people know it, the more likely you are to get the inheritance and blessings.

Who would be so stupid as to tell this secret on purpose?

As a result, in the past few days, it seemed as if someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, deliberately spreading the news, and deliberately attracting various forces to come to investigate.

The Great Xia Dynasty also sent people from Supervisor Tiansi to investigate the cave of Zhenjun Zixia.

"The more people know about it, the smaller my chances of winning the opportunity will be."

Ye Ming sighed softly, feeling a little helpless. He didn't know who was doing this secretly.

But no matter what, he is bound to gain the inheritance and creation of True Lord Zixia, and there is no way he would give it up.

After leaving the wine shop, Ye Ming disappeared into the crowded street and soon disappeared.

After he regained his true appearance, he acted cautiously for a few days. He breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that no one knew that he was the assassin who assassinated Jiang Lan that day.

He had changed his appearance and even his breath that day. He estimated that even if Jiang Lan had seen him, he would not be able to suspect him.

This also makes Ye Ming's next actions much easier.

He had made a lot of preparations for this time's visit to Zhenjun Zixia's cave. He originally planned to invite Ling Zhuyun from the Yaochi Sect to explore together, but who could have expected that there would be a sudden change.

…

The glow is surging, and the white mist flows gently like water in the palace.

Jiang Lan sat cross-legged here.

After these few days of hard work, he finally got enough luck from Su Qinghan and Chu Chan, so that the second stage of the Fate Fruit finally matured.

Not to mention his control over his vitality, which has reached a point where he can follow his heart and act like an arm.

Just the new talents brought by the second stage of the Fate Fruit were enough to surprise him.

Sure enough, it was as he expected at the beginning, and it was related to the destiny.

He can now clearly perceive the destiny of a living being or monk. This destiny is actually directly related to luck.

After all, fate is the most intuitive expression of luck in a certain form. The fate of a living being is extremely precious, so the richness of his luck will not be low either.

This will also make it easier for Jiang Lan to obtain luck in the future. After all, Lin Fan's perspective can only roughly show the world, and it is impossible to reveal all the details and characters outside the plot.

After being able to feel and understand the destiny, Jiang Lan can naturally understand more clearly and intuitively which people have great luck, and which people have unique destiny that can be used by him, allowing him to plunder luck from them.

"Su Qinghan's current destiny is to be a born swordsman, which is exactly what I thought at the beginning, while Chu Chan's destiny is to be a destined evil girl..."

"In some aspects, destiny can be regarded as a prediction of its future destiny and trajectory. Although it seems that there will still be certain changes."

Although Jiang Lan can sense the fate of others, his own fate is completely blank and he can't feel anything. If he feels it, it is like a mist that changes at any time. Unobservable.

He speculated that it might be because he was an anomaly outside the plot.

At present, it is only the second stage of the Fate Fruit. As it gradually transforms into the third stage, Jiang Lan feels that he may be able to control a person's fate.

This feeling is quite strange. Things like destiny are already involved in fate.

And fate has always been mysterious and unpredictable. Even fate can be interfered by him. Does this mean that in the future, he can also control the fate of the world?

With his thoughts back, Jiang Lan stood up and left the palace.

Outside, Uncle Ying was leading a group of guards waiting. When he saw Jiang Lan coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, the information you want me to find out seems to be true..."

"The True Lord Zixia is indeed a real great supernatural power user. In his heyday, his cultivation was unfathomable, and he definitely surpassed the Nine Realms of Ascension. The inheritance cave he left behind should not be underestimated."

"This news has spread throughout Anyang City in the past few days. The major immortal sects are ready to make moves. Even the aristocratic families in other major counties have sent their clansmen here to investigate and compete for it."

Hearing this, Jiang Lan nodded slightly and said, "Since I have encountered the inheritance of Zhenjun Zixia's cave, it belongs to my Jiang family."

"Uncle Ying, please send more people to investigate. If there are not enough people, send a message to my father and tell him that I want this inheritance cave."

Uncle Ying smiled and replied, "Don't worry, young master. As long as you need it, no matter what kind of inheritance it is, we will bring it back to you. I will definitely be happy to know that you are interested in this kind of thing." of."

But when he said this, he still paused, because he was worried that Jiang Lan would still be unable to practice after bringing this inheritance back.

He felt slightly helpless, but he couldn't say these words for fear of damaging Jiang Lan's confidence.

The young master finally cared so much about his spiritual practice. In the past, he didn't bother to care about these news. Instead, which girl was beautiful and naturally beautiful was more attractive to him.

"Uncle Ying, don't worry. Even if I can't practice, my parents will definitely be interested in bringing back the inheritance."

"After all, this was left by a person with great supernatural powers. If it can help confirm their current cultivation level, it will be of great use."

Jiang Lan smiled casually, as if he knew what Uncle Ying was thinking.

With his current strength, it would not be difficult to avoid the guards and quietly find someone to spread the news.

"Yes, Master."

Uncle Ying was relieved, and then led a group of guards away.

Anyang City was a mixed bag these days. He was afraid that Jiang Lan would encounter the assassins of the day again, so he asked him to stay in the city lord's palace. No matter how courageous those assassins were, they would not dare to come to the city lord's palace to act recklessly.

Jiang Lan didn't care about this. Ye Ming's escape would be more convenient for him to catch big fish in the long run.

So next, he just needs to wait for a suitable time.

"It's time for Chu Chan to go over to Zixia Mountain. Then there will be a chance to get in touch with the old Taoist."

"I remember that in addition to knowing the inheritance and creation of True Monarch Zixia, Taoist Zixia also had clues about a valuable treasure..."

While Jiang Lan was thinking, a graceful figure appeared lightly, carrying a delicate fragrance. Her black hair was rolled up into a bun, and a hosta was inserted at an angle, revealing her slender snow neck. She wore a large snow-white cloak outside her wide skirt, which looked a little luxurious.

"Master..." Chu Chan came to his side and subconsciously held his arm.

"Chan'er seems a little happy. What's going on?" Jiang Lan glanced at her and asked with a smile.

"Chan'er listened to your words and has already redeemed the ancestral home. However, when I was cleaning the abandoned ancestral home, I accidentally found something in it. I thought you might need it, so I hurried over."

"I have also heard the rumors in Anyang City these days. I really didn't expect that my ancestor of the Chu family and the True Lord Zixia actually have many connections."

"In this jade slip, there is a vague figure, which seems to be the True Lord Zixia. He said that he was grateful for the kindness my ancestors of the Chu family showed to him when he was in decline. After his death, he deliberately left his inheritance in the cave. Among them, I, the descendant of the Chu family, will use the token to find it."

Chu Chan raised her snow-white face, smiled as if she was taking credit, and her tone was somewhat unconcealable joy.

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from the sleeve of his wide skirt and handed it to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan had expected it and didn't care about it. However, there was still a look of surprise on his face and he said, "Oh? There is such a coincidence in this world? Could Chaneryou be lying to me?"

"How could Chan'er lie to you, Master? This is true. When I saw the jade slip, I felt incredible. It was such a coincidence."

"The inheritance of True Lord Zixia, which has caused a lot of commotion in Anyang City these days, actually has such a big connection with my Chu family, and no one in my parents or even my grandfather knows about this..."

Chu Chan said, feeling very dreamy and incredible.

However, without Jiang Lan, she would not have been able to redeem the ancestral home, let alone find the jade slips left in it while cleaning.

Now she only regrets why she didn't know about this earlier. If she had cleaned the ancestral house earlier and obtained the jade slips, maybe she would have obtained the inheritance of True Lord Zixia and soared into the sky.

But there are not so many ifs in the world, and all of this is just a mistake.

Of course, she could also hide the news, secretly take the token, and then secretly go to Zhenjun Zixia's cave to accept the inheritance.

But Chu Chan didn't do this. In her opinion, the inheritance of Zhenjun Zixia was far from being comparable to the benefits that Jiang Lan could bring to her.

"So, Chan'er, you really brought me some good news."

"Tell me, Chan'er, what kind of reward do you want?" Jiang Lan smiled and reached out to hold her in his arms.

"Chan'er's status as she is today is all thanks to the young master. She is already extremely happy to be able to help the young master. How can she ask for other rewards."

Chu Chan leaned against his chest, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and her mouth seemed to have a satisfied smile.

Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and said, "My master has always made clear distinctions between rewards and punishments. Chan'er, you have brought me such an unexpected joy. How can I be stingy with rewards? Tell me, what do you want? A technique? A magic weapon." ?Supernatural power? Or something else?"

When Chu Chan heard this, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and she seemed to be a little confused.

In fact, she had already expected that Jiang Lan would reward her with benefits, and she already had words and things she wanted in her heart.

The statement just now was just about retreating in order to advance.

At that moment, she pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment before saying, "Master, Chan'er wants to go to Wanling Pavilion and choose some maids."

She said she was a maid, but actually she wanted to start training her own henchmen.

Wanling Pavilion is Anyang City. To be precise, it should be the largest slave trading venue in the entire Daxia.

It is said that it is backed by the Changlong Merchant Alliance, and the slaves involved involve various ethnic groups in the Kyushu. You can even see the disciples of some powerful immortal sects, with extraordinary qualifications, and they are all equipped with various treasures.

Its background is so vast that even the blood of some foreign royal families can be seen occasionally.

Jiang Lan was not surprised by Chu Chan's request.

"No problem, Chan'er, if you go with my master's token, the talker of Wanling Pavilion will naturally receive you. You can use this to choose ten maids at will."

With that said, he handed the identity token around his waist to Chu Chan.

"Chan'er, thank you sir."

Chu Chan was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly took the token.

Her original plan was to choose three, but she didn't expect Jiang Lan to be so generous and directly reward her with ten maids.

After having ten maids, many of her next tasks will be much easier.

At this moment, she even thought of some rumors. Sure enough, behind Wanling Pavilion, there were inextricable connections with the Changlong Merchant Alliance.

The power of the Prime Minister's Mansion was far more terrifying than she thought.

"Sir, regarding the token left by True Lord Zixia, Chan'er may have to wait a few days before it can be handed over to you."

Chu Chan suddenly remembered something important and said suddenly.

And as if she was afraid that Jiang Lan would misunderstand, she continued to explain, "Because after thinking about it, I found that the token mentioned in the jade slip may be the jade pendant I carried with me before."

"But that jade pendant was accidentally sent to my brother Chu Yun when I sent him the spiritual stone elixir last time."

"So if I want to get the jade pendant back, I may have to go to Zixia Temple in Zixia Mountain to find him in person."

Jiang Lan frowned slightly when he heard this, but soon relaxed.

Are there any surprises in the plot?

The jade pendant token of True Lord Zixia was always carried by Chu Chan in the original plot.

Because she was grateful for the protagonist Lin Fan's help at first, and he noticed that the jade pendant was abnormal, so Chu Chan, who didn't know that the jade pendant was special, gave it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan naturally did not refuse this and silently accepted it.

As for the reason why Chu Chan wanted to kill Lin Fan in the later plot and was deceived by him, and why intercepting Hu and taking away his own destiny, Jiang Lan had no way of knowing.

And now that Lin Fan is dead, the jade pendant belonging to Chu Chan fell into the hands of her brother due to an accident?

Could something happen to her brother?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan's face remained calm and she just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a token. Of course I can trust Chan'er."

"I have always heard that you have a younger brother. I just take this opportunity to take him back to Anyang City and I will meet him by the way. If possible, I will order someone to place him in your Chu family's ancestral home and entrust someone to take care of him. You can also feel more at ease.”

"I will also arrange for some famous doctors to see if they can cure his brain problem. I will also find what medicinal materials and spiritual objects are needed."

"Thank you, sir."

"If my brother knew, he would be extremely happy."

Hearing this, a look of emotion suddenly appeared on Chu Chan's face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with mist.

She said too many words of gratitude, but they all seemed weak at the moment. Her younger brother Chu Yun had always been her concern and weakness.

Her parents died young, and when she was young, she had to take care of her younger brother who had a mental problem. Only she knew the hardships.

Although she is a sister, to Chu Yun, she is not much different from her mother.

She had always known how kind Jiang Lan was to her, and she was very touched.

To be honest, she didn't expect that that day in Zuixianju, she would be ostracized by her fellow disciples and pushed into a pit of fire, but in the end she would unexpectedly meet her "beloved man".

No matter how bad the outside world's reputation is for Jiang Lan, no matter how arrogant, domineering, arrogant, bullying, and obsessed with women, to her, he is the noble man who changed her life's destiny.

At this moment, Chu Chan felt a little guilty. After all, it was different from Jiang Lan's kindness to her.

The admiration and love she showed were actually just flattery, greed for vanity and power, and not much sincerity.

After Chu Chan got tired of Jiang Lan for a while, she left "reluctantly".

"It's not a good habit to like to make up your mind."

Jiang Lan straightened his clothes and felt that the ancient vine and green leaves in Niwan Palace had undergone many changes. A lot of luck had flowed into them, and they became more and more green.

Su Qinghan, who had finished practicing not far away, came out and skillfully brought him a pot of health soup to replenish his body.

This is not something she took the initiative to cook.

It was prepared by the city lord of the city lord's palace. Some maids were originally responsible for bringing it, but Su Qinghan took the initiative to take over the matter.

After her daily practice, she would bring health soup to Jiang Lan, openly asking him to take care of his body, but secretly, there was a hint of her deliberately teasing Jiang Lan.

After all, Mr. Jiang seems to be weak and thin, but in fact he is full of vitality and blood and has terrifying strength. This can be seen from Chu Chan's increasingly rosy and beautiful face.

It's a pity that these people are blind and can't see clearly the reality of Mr. Jiang.

Su Qinghan's mouth curved slightly and he walked over.
