That's What Villains Are Like

"Sister, I may need to look for that jade pendant. At that time, I put the jade pendant and the spirit stone pills together. After I fell off the cliff, I don't know if it was touched by Fei Luo and others."

After thinking for a while, Chu Yun replied.

He first planned to conceal the jade pendant for the time being, and then discuss the matter with Qingniu Dahuang to see if he should hand over the jade pendant.

After all, he had never seen the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and he didn't feel comfortable handing over something as important as the jade pendant.

If his sister wanted it, he would definitely not have any hesitation.

Chu Chan glanced at Chu Yun, a look of confusion appeared on her face, but she didn't say much.

She knew Chu Yun very well. If he lied, his eyes would look aside subconsciously.

This habit has been around since childhood.

It’s just that she didn’t point it out.

Chu Yun's head has indeed become a lot smarter. If it were before, he would definitely not play such tricks.

But Chu Chan still decided to believe him, thinking that he had other concerns and did not think that he wanted to monopolize the jade pendant.

"Master Jiang is kind to me. If I want to gain more of his favor and respect, I must show value that can make him value me."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion behind him will not let me, an ordinary woman, enter like this, so that jade pendant is very important to me."

"If I can use this to allow the Prime Minister's Mansion to obtain the inheritance and blessings of True Lord Zixia, then I will be considered to have made a contribution, and I will have more confidence to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future."

Chu Chan looked at Chu Yun deeply and said honestly.

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely find that jade pendant."

"How about you wait for me here for a while."

Chu Yun felt a little sad, knowing that his sister had made up her mind, and immediately replied.

Regarding the matter of Green Bull and Rhubarb, he promised that he would not tell anyone else, including his closest sister, and the same was true.

After all, there are many spiritual creatures in this world. If the existence of Rhubarb is known to others, there is no guarantee that it will not attract covetousness.

As the former mount of True Monarch Zixia, it knows a lot about True Monarch Zixia and is equivalent to a walking treasure.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Chu Chan could tell that her brother had many secrets.

However, she didn't point it out. She just nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you here. You can pack up and come back to Anyang City with me."

"Mr. Jiang also wants to take a look at yours. Originally, he promised me that he would find a famous doctor from the Great Xia Dynasty to help you treat your head, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

When Chu Yun heard these words, he was stunned again.

He really didn't expect that the prime minister's son would be so kind to his sister, and even his idiot brother would take it into consideration.

No wonder my sister was so calm when mentioning him, with no resistance in her eyes.

Presumably, Mr. Jiang must be a man as rich as jade, handsome and elegant.

He felt increasingly sad in his heart, and as he agreed, he walked towards the Zixia Temple.

"Xiaoyun is too young, and he has some secrets, but if he can't hide them like this, he will attract attention."

"The old Taoist of Zixia Temple is not a good person, I think you can see that."

After Chu Yun left, Chu Chan fell into deep thought, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back.

She looked at Zixia Temple from a distance and saw purple mist rising in it. The atmosphere was astonishing, as if some strange phenomenon was evolving between heaven and earth, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The cultivation strength of that Zixia Taoist must not be underestimated. He must have lived in seclusion for many years to plot the inheritance and creation of True Lord Zixia.

"If it were before, I might not be able to take my brother away safely, but now I am no longer what I used to be. If Taoist Zixia knew what he was doing, he would not dare to stop me."

With this in mind, Chu Chan looked at the white jade cloud chariot, in which the ancient flag with the word "ginger" was fluttering. On the way here, all the monks she saw changed their expressions and gave in.

"This is the smell of power...it's really easy to get intoxicated."

She then returned to the white jade chariot and began to sit cross-legged and practice seriously. No matter what, improving her strength was still crucial.

Although Su Qinghan had been practicing hard on weekdays and seemed cold and indifferent, he was not a good person.

During the time when she left Anyang City and was not with Jiang Lan, she might take advantage of it.

Chu Chan still felt a sense of urgency in her heart. Her talent was not outstanding and could only be described as above average. Nowadays, even with the resources to support it, it is not easy to catch up from behind.

You know, there is no shortage of beautiful women like her in this world. Today there is Chu Chan, and tomorrow there may be Wang Chan or Zhao Chan next to Jiang Lan...

"No matter what, improving your own strength and power is the most important thing."

"Right now, these maids and subordinates are my initial capital..."

On the other side, Chu Yun, who returned to Zixia Temple, immediately went to the backyard and found Qingniu Rhubarb in an open space full of spiritual grass outside.

In order to avoid the attention of outsiders, Qingniu Dahuang specially taught him a unique way of communication, just to deal with situations like the one in Zixia Temple where there are too many people.

At that moment, Chu Yun told Qing Niu everything about what had just happened without any concealment, and asked what it thought.

"That jade pendant is indeed a token left by the owner. I have told you about this, and the owner seems to have left something like a jade slip to inform the descendants of the Chu family about this matter. But who wants to be given by you? Lost and forgotten.”

"Actually, whether you want it or not, you can't keep that jade pendant now, but you don't have to worry, the master's secrets are not limited to that cave."

"Zixia Mountain is just a place where he cultivated in his later years. I know all the secret scrolls of skills left in it. When your cultivation strength reaches a certain level, I will teach them to you one by one."

"The more important ones may be a few magic weapons and secret treasures, but those won't be of much use to you now."

"On the contrary, since your sister has made this choice, as the younger brother, you naturally have to help her gain a foothold. The situation of casual cultivators and cultivators with powerful support is very different. Don't take it lightly now. It won’t be easy for you to find some cultivation resources in the future. In the end, you will have to rely on your sister..."

Although Qingniu Dahuang's voice was childish, when he opened his mouth at this moment, it seemed like a wise and experienced old man, teaching Chu Yun trickling down.

Chu Yun fell silent.

He didn't expect that Dahuang would persuade him to hand over the jade pendant.

Isn't this equivalent to giving away Zhenjun Zixia's cave?

"It's really short-sighted."

"Your sister is smarter and far-sighted than you. Master, how many resources does his cave have? If you gain a foothold in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it means that your sister will be able to walk sideways in Daxia in the future."

"What a silly boy. Your sister knows this very well, so she has no intention of taking it for herself. After all, this is a rare certificate of submission." Qingniu Dahuang looked like he hated iron.

Chu Yun was scolded, but he gradually understood.

Qingniu Dahuang was too lazy to say anything more to him. It knew that Chu Yun was in a depressed mood at the moment and was unwilling to accept it for many reasons.

But only when he truly sets foot in the world of spiritual practice and understands the hardships and sufferings of this world, will he understand what his sister is doing.

How was its owner, True Lord Zixia, when he was just a young monk? In the end, he didn't need the help of the ancestors of the Chu family.

"I will listen to you and give the jade pendant to my sister. But if I take you back to Anyang City, won't those strong men notice me?" Chu Yun said.

Qingniu Dahuang shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. No matter who investigates, they will think that I am just an ordinary buffalo."

After it said this, Chu Yun felt relieved and immediately returned to the wing where he lived and began to sort out his clothes.

At the top of Zixia Mountain, there is a huge blue stone.

Zixia Taoist is sitting cross-legged here, facing the sun, and wisps of purple mist are lingering and steaming around him.

As he swallowed and breathed in and out, it was like a purple sun, astonishingly bright and magical.

His eyes were calm and indifferent, and he could clearly see the scene Zixia was watching outside.

It was just Chu Chan's caution that somewhat surprised him. There was a secret treasure on her body, which obscured the conversation between the two siblings.

Naturally, it was not easy for him to find out what the two of them were talking about in order to avoid unexpected twists and turns.

With the arrival of Chu Chan, Chen Ning and others, Taoist Zixia also began to think about other things.

He did not interfere in the affairs of Chu Chan and Chu Yun.

After years of finding no abnormalities in them, he gave up on this path.

Right now, Zhenjun Zixia's cave abode is about to be born. He has been planning for many years, so he naturally cannot allow any mistakes.

"Zhenjun Zixia's cave is about to be born. Who spread the news? It's really a good thing for a bad old man."

"I didn't expect that after just being in seclusion for a while, such a big change would happen after I woke up..."

"Who is behind this?"

"This Chu Chan may also be involved in the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise the old Taoist will definitely keep her. There are still many people missing from the core of the formation."

"Just because we are related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, we still need to be cautious, lest our plans go to waste."

Taoist Zixia looked indifferently.

Naturally, he did not simply live in seclusion here for so many years.

He has already engraved formations on various hills in Zixia Mountain, arousing the power of the earth dragon and activating the essence of heaven and earth. As soon as Zixia Zhenjun's cave appears, this place will become a deserted place with no way in or out.

When Zhenjun Zixia's inheritance is obtained, he will fly away and change his appearance. Naturally, he will not have to worry about the terrible consequences that will follow.

…

When Chu Yun packed up the package and led a green bull with shiny hair out of Zixia Temple, Chu Chan was shocked for a while.

Fortunately, Chu Yun explained in time and she realized it.

It's just that this green bull looks ordinary. Is it necessary to bring it with me?

However, this was Chu Yun's private matter after all, so she didn't ask any more questions, just assuming that he and the green cow had already developed a relationship and were reluctant to separate.

Among the many Taoist priests in Zixia Monastery, no one expressed any intention to stay when Chu Yun left. After all, many of them had persecuted Chu Yun and felt very guilty and were afraid of retaliation in the future.

Taoist Zixia never showed up from beginning to end.

Chu Yun had hidden hatred in his heart, waiting for the opportunity in the future to kill his enemies with his own hands, so he never showed his hatred from the beginning to the end.

Soon, the white jade chariot slowly left along the bamboo forest path it came from.

Chu Chan asked Chu Yun to follow her, but due to the difference between men and women, she did not let him ride in the same car with her.

Not to mention that Chu Yun has grown up, not only the child she once was, but also her current relationship with Jiang Lan, which requires her to keep a certain distance from any man, including her own brother.

Although she didn't care and wouldn't think too much about it, there was no guarantee that Jiang Lan would have any misunderstandings after knowing about it.

Moreover, she could feel that her brother Chu Yun had been in a very depressed mood since he knew that she had committed herself to Jiang Lan.

As a sister, she felt it was necessary to correct Chu Yun's attachment mentality.

On the way out of Zixia Temple, Chu Yun had already handed over the jade pendant to Chu Chan.

Chu Chan carefully put it away, feeling slightly relieved and smiling. She also wanted to return to Anyang City as soon as possible and hand it over to Jiang Lan.

A few days passed by again.

In Anyang City.

In the pavilion, Jiang Lan listened as usual to Uncle Ying's investigation into the inheritance of True Lord Zixia, looking bored.

But what is different from the past is that now there is a middle-aged man with a gentle face beside him, Mr. Chu who once appeared outside Qingshui Village.

A worshiper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a powerful being with seven realms of cultivation.

Even though he is as powerful as Uncle Ying, he is still respectful in front of Mr. Chu.

As the cultivation level reaches higher, the gap between each realm is like a chasm, which can be described as earth-shaking.

Although Uncle Ying is a being in the Sixth Level of Divine Power, facing Mr. Chu in the Seventh Level of Dharma Realm, he has no chance to resist and will be easily suppressed.

After learning that Jiang Lan intended to seize the inheritance of True Lord Zixia, his parents were extremely happy. They sent a message to Mr. Chu and asked him to come to Anyang City to help Jiang Lan get the opportunity.

If anyone dares to stop him, he will kill him without mercy. His attitude is extremely strong.

Jiang Lan was naturally happy to see this scene, but as he was familiar with the plot, he knew that the cave of Zhenjun Zixia was located in an alien time and space deep in Zixia Mountain. It was similar to a secret realm and had cultivation limitations.

It is basically impossible for beings in the Seventh Realm to step into it, unless they suppress their cultivation. However, once they show their cultivation beyond the limit, they will be forcibly expelled, and may even fall into the turbulence of the void, and have their bodies torn apart by the strong wind. All gods are destroyed.

However, he himself is not very interested in the inheritance and creation of True Monarch Zixia.

What he cares about is the Immortal Creation Dew in it, which is a divine object that can be used to cover up his cultivation.

The immortal embryo creation dew can help him reshape his body and condense it into a flawless immortal embryo. The troubles caused by the exquisite immortal heart with seven orifices can also be easily solved.

He can't always hide his cultivation, sooner or later it will be exposed.

Whether it is to face Jiang Ruxian's revenge in the future, or to cover up his own secrets.

He must get the Immortal Fetus Fortune Dew in his hands.

"In the original plot, it was still early when Jiang Rushian appeared. She should still be on the Island of No Return now."

"The Island of No Return is extremely far away from Zhongtian State. Even if we use a cross-domain teleportation formation, it will take a long time." Jiang Lan shook his head gently.

With his current speed of strength improvement, even if he faces Jiang Ruxian later, he will still be able to compete.

Not that much to worry about.

"Sir, Miss Chu Chan is back..."

Suddenly, the voice of a servant reporting from outside interrupted Jiang Lan's thoughts.

…

"Sure enough...did it fail?"

Island of No Return.

In an ancient bronze palace, filled with white mist, a woman was whispering softly to herself. In her slender white palm, there lay an almost transparent autumn cicada filled with the breath of time.

But at this moment, this autumn cicada seemed to have died and was dissipating into spots of light all over the sky.

The woman is dressed in white, with a graceful figure, a slender neck, icy muscles and jade bones, defying frost and snow, exuding an astonishing fairy spirit.

She sat cross-legged on a futon with astonishing charm, her head slightly lowered, and she watched quietly as the cicadas disappeared in her hands, and her hair was covered with green hair, covering her fairy-like and picturesque face.

But her expression was very indifferent, as if nothing in the world could arouse her interest.

After a long time, the cicada completely disappeared and turned into powder all over the sky, and there was nothing else in her hand.

The woman looked at all this blankly, and then suddenly laughed.

Although the voice is as beautiful as the sounds of nature, it can't hide the bitterness and self-deprecation that is full of fatigue and vicissitudes of life.

"Is fate... really unchangeable?"

"I even found the legendary Time Cicada, but I can travel through the long river of time and go back to the past."

"But why, nothing can be changed."

"Still... still can't go back to that original moment."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, but she tightly clenched her slender, white jade hands. Even though her palms were warm and blood was dripping, she didn't seem to know it.

Trekking in the long river of time requires endless cause and effect. Even the cicada of time will continue to eliminate transparency while trekking.

And the complete blurring and dissipation means that she has reached the end and cannot take another half step forward.

In a large world, in the long years, there is only a slim chance that such a rare thing in the world as the Time Cicada will appear.

In her previous life, she achieved the holy realm and was invincible, but she did not want to become an immortal. Instead, she set foot on the Three Thousand Realms and searched for forbidden places in all places, just to find the legendary cicada that could reverse the past.

Thousands of years pass by, the sea turns into dust, and the stars change.

Scenes from the past are flooding into my mind at this moment, as if it was yesterday.

She originally thought that her state of mind had reached perfection, and that nothing in the world could move her, but at this moment, she still felt a sharp pain.

In the catastrophe of inner demons in the holy realm, in that familiar courtyard, maple leaves were falling, and a young man in white clothes was touching his heart that was pierced by a long sword. His clothes were red, he looked at her and asked blankly, "Sister..." Why do you want to kill me?"

"Did I...do something wrong?"

She thought that after many years, the memory that she had deliberately forgotten no longer existed, but when the inner demon catastrophe came, she suddenly discovered that it had always been there, but it was buried deep in her heart and she did not dare to touch it. .

The edge of memory is blurred with blood and flesh. Every time I touch it, it hurts so much that I almost suffocate.

He was not wrong.

It's only you who's wrong.
