That's What Villains Are Like

Ling Zhuyun fell silent.

She had discovered that no matter how she explained it, there would be a fatal flaw.

In the beginning, the reason why she favored Ye Ming and covered him up was because she was worried that his identity as the assassin who assassinated Jiang Lan would be exposed.

Ye Ming assassinated Jiang Lan at that time, but as an associate of Lin Fan, the assassin in Yuyi City, wasn't that assassin a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect?

In other words, from the very beginning when she concealed her identity for Ye Ming, she was destined to be involved later, and she could not explain it clearly, and was considered to be helping him conceal his identity as a member of the Blood Immortal Sect.

At this time, the only way was to tell the reason for favoring Ye Ming at that time, but in this way, she was telling everyone that she lied in public at the tea making party and deceived everyone.

Where to put the reputation of Yaochi Sect? As a saint, even if she explains all this clearly, her prestige will be ruined from now on.

Furthermore, until this moment, she actually still doesn't want to believe that Ye Ming will be involved with the Blood Immortal Sect and deceive and use her.

But she seemed to have entered a dead end without even realizing it.

"Ling Zhuyun, what else do you have to say?"

Qi Heng asked again, vaguely intending to ask everyone behind him to work together to capture Ling Zhuyun.

"..."

Ling Zhuyun was silent, her brows slightly furrowed, her arrogance and fierceness completely gone.

"Qi Heng, are you really sure that Ye Ling is a member of the Blood Immortal Sect?"

After a long time, she asked.

"Haha, what we witnessed with our own eyes can be false? All previous signs indicate that there are many doubts about that guy. At this time, Ling Zhuyun, do you still want to continue to be partial and cover up for him?"

"It's in vain that those junior sisters trusted you so much, but you colluded with outsiders to bring them here and trap them here."

Qi Heng snorted coldly, not surprised at all by Ling Zhuyun's current reaction.

"Have you seen with your own eyes that all my junior sisters died in the Blood Immortal Cult's formation?"

Ling Zhuyun was stunned, and asked after a moment. Her face under the veil, her eyes looked a little gloomy.

Along the way, she tried to contact the disciples of the Yaochi Sect, but did not receive any response.

At present, even the younger generation of the Dao Ancient Sect, Biyou Dongtian and other forces have suffered losses.

Without her protection, the disciples of the Yaochi Sect would probably be in bad luck.

"Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but one thing is true. No one has seen the disciples of the Yaochi Sect, and they are probably all dead outside the secret realm."

"Even I barely survived half of my life. Do you think that your junior sisters can survive when they encounter people from the Blood Immortal Cult?"

Qi Heng looked at Ling Zhuyun's expression at this moment and was a little stunned.

However, this woman should not be gullible, in case she shows such an expression on purpose to confuse everyone.

Ling Zhuyun fell silent.

Did Junior Sister and the others really die at the hands of the Blood Immortal Sect? Because she left carelessly and failed to protect them...

She originally wanted to find the missing junior sisters, but in the end, she couldn't protect anyone.

Ling Zhuyun fell into confusion for a moment.

She looked at Jiang Lan subconsciously, biting the corners of her lips with her teeth under the veil.

Jiang Lan noticed her gaze and was immediately interested.

Shouldn't you bite your own teeth and eat the bitter fruit you sow?

Of course, he knew it.

In Ling Zhuyun's smooth life, she had never encountered such a scene before. Let alone being framed and suspected, even being questioned was something that had never happened before.

However, Jiang Lan still didn't plan to come forward. After all, training...no, it was training. How could this level be enough?

So he just responded to Ling Zhuyun with a warm and gentle smile to reassure her that he had always believed that she could not collude with the Blood Immortal Sect.

Anyway, at this time, if she insists that she doesn't know that Ye Ming is a member of the Blood Immortal Cult and cuts off all relations with him, won't the problem be solved?

Jiang Lan also counted on the great luck that would be brought to him after the relationship between the two broke up.

Ling Zhuyun was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood the meaning of his gaze. Was he unable to help himself and letting himself seek happiness for himself?

Indeed, what can he do to help himself at this time?

Even I can't explain it clearly. Regardless of explanation or not, the Yaochi Sect will be shamed by what she did.

Explain that she was deceived by Ye Ming and didn't know that he was from the Blood Immortal Sect? But such words were really difficult for her to say, and they were contrary to her true intentions. After all, without seeing it with his own eyes, he concluded that Ye Ming was a member of the Blood Immortal Sect. What is the difference between this and falsely accusing him?

Seeing Ling Zhuyun remain silent like this, Jiang Lan clicked her tongue inwardly, but also felt a slight headache.

If it were Su Qinghan who encountered this kind of situation, he would have completely distanced himself from the other party and stayed alone.

But this guy with a single brain is able to lie for others and himself even if he doesn't know how to adapt. If he can't solve the problem, it will be over, and he will have to choose to remain silent and wait for death.

In Jiang Lan's view, this is a small matter, no matter how small it is. Why should there be such a helpless feeling?

Sometimes adhering to principles too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Still lack of adjustment... tempering.

"Saint Zhuyun has been walking around the world for many years, punishing evil and promoting good, and benefiting the people. You must have made up your mind what kind of person she is."

"Qi Heng, you made such a small inference and made a blunt statement that she colluded with the Blood Fairy Cult people, and put such a big label on her head. You know exactly what your intentions are."

"Outside the secret realm, my men and I got separated and were attacked by people from the Blood Immortal Sect. Saint Zhu Yun also rescued her in time. I don't know if the person named Ye is a member of the Blood Immortal Sect, but I know that she is not may be."

"If you dare to take action against Saint Zhuyun, then try to see if you can walk out of this hall today. The Blood Immortal Sect can't take you in, so I will take care of you."

"If the rest of the people dare to take action, they can try it and see if they can get out alive..."

Jiang Lan suddenly spoke, with a casual but strong tone, and then gave a signal with his eyes.

Behind him, Li Daoyi, Luo Ying, Ao Xu and many other young geniuses, as well as a group of knights, stepped forward and surrounded Qi Heng and others.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the rest of the people in the hall suddenly changed.

Some people who believed Qi Heng's words were very angry and felt that Jiang Lan was so arrogant and powerful, which was simply disgusting to the extreme.

But there are also many people who think Jiang Lan's words are good and think Ling Zhuyun can't do such a thing.

There may be some unspeakable hidden meaning in this.

"Jiang Lan, you..."

Qi Heng's face was also extremely ugly, and his voice was trembling with anger.

He had kindly reminded Jiang Lan just now, but it turned out that this guy was indeed the famous useless second generation ancestor. Under such circumstances, he still wanted to protect Ling Zhuyun.

However, he was really afraid of the power around Jiang Lan and did not dare to act rashly.

"Jiang Lan..."

Ling Zhuyun also didn't expect that Jiang Lan would stand up at this time and say such words, even if he didn't hesitate to offend everyone here for her.

Obviously he doesn't want to deal with Ye Ming the most?

"The person who wronged you knows better than anyone how wronged you are. Choosing silence means that you have acquiesced. Do you expect that person named Ye to help you clear your grievances?"

"Or do you want to die to prove your ambition?"

Jiang Lan looked at her and said calmly.

Ling Zhuyun looked at him blankly, and there was a wave of unspeakable emotions in her eyes that seemed to be filled with mist.

"Jiang Lan, don't ignore the overall situation. Now is not the time for you to show off your strength. If Ling Zhuyun doesn't explain all this clearly, do you think you can protect her?"

"Even the Yaochi Sect will not let her go. Do you want to make an enemy of the entire Nine Provinces Immortal Sect?"

Qi Heng gritted his teeth and asked coldly.

"That's such a big statement. Then I will leave you all here today. Anyway, everyone is dead, so there is no evidence to prove it."

"I have to protect her today, what do you dare to do?"

Jiang Lan looked at him indifferently, his tone was understated, but it contained a meaning of "If you dare to say one more word, I will have you killed."

"you……"

Qi Heng suddenly felt cold all over his body, his face looked ugly and his fists clenched loudly, and he did not dare to say anything more.

He was really afraid that Jiang Lan, a master who was not afraid of anything, would do something like this.

The expressions of Zhu Huang, Xia Jie and others are also constantly changing.

Ling Zhuyun looked at Jiang Lan blankly, her eyes filled with mist.

The initially confused mood gradually calmed down, as if he had found some support.

"I met Ye Ling a long time ago. I didn't know that he was from the Blood Immortal Cult. I can swear this with my Taoist heart."

"I have never colluded with the Blood Immortal Sect to harm fellow Taoist brothers. If what I say is even half-false, I am willing to be bombarded by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, annihilate my true soul, and never fall into reincarnation."

"As for why I helped Ye Ling hide his identity, it was because of a... favor, and now the favor has been returned. If he really has anything to do with the Blood Immortal Sect, as everyone said, I will definitely not let him go, and I will kill him with my own hands. Please give me an explanation."

After a while, she took a deep breath and spoke, her expression returning to calm.

Seeing this, Qi Heng could only give up with a cold snort. Ling Zhuyun had already sworn so, so there was nothing he could do if he refused.

What's more, Jiang Lan was there to support her.

Things did not achieve the result he expected, but Ling Zhuyun believed in Ye Ming so much. Until this moment, she seemed unwilling to accept that he was related to the Blood Immortal Sect.

He felt unhappy and jealous in his heart.

The facts are before our eyes, Ling Zhuyun is still so stubborn, I really don't know what she is thinking?

After hearing Ling Zhuyun's oath.

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed again and again, and they no longer doubted her. After all, not everyone dared to swear by Taoism. This was related to their future practice career.

If a beautiful girl like Ling Zhuyun said something like this, it would most likely be true.

The reason he had chosen to remain silent just now was probably because he had some unspeakable secret, and it must have something to do with that so-called favor.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Ye Ling is really innocent and has nothing to do with the Blood Immortal Sect.

However, as a true disciple of the Renwang Palace, Qi Heng could not target without reason. Even Zhu Huang, Xia Jie and other young geniuses with extraordinary backgrounds said they could testify.

Who would make fun of his own reputation?

So the most likely possibility is that Ling Zhuyun was deceived by Ye Ling, and she still can't believe this fact until now?

Jiang Lan had a calm expression on his face, but his consciousness was now in the Niwan Palace, and he could feel a lot of luck coming to him.

That mysterious ancient vine has spurred the growth of many green and tender leaves, and even the color of the Path of Life Fruit has become much darker.

The newly emerged Qi Luck Dao Fruit, which was originally only the size of a thumb, has also grown in size.

Although Ling Zhuyun's words have not completely broken with Ye Ming, they have already stated her position and taken herself out of it.

No matter what version Ye Ming heard later, the suspicion between him and Ling Zhuyun had already arisen.

After the suspicion, the fate between the two people was destined to never intersect again. Jiang Lan, the initiator, could naturally enjoy everything he deserved with peace of mind.

Then, what happened in this hall quickly spread in the secret realm.

Many monks who were competing for the opportunity also got the news and began to search for Ye Ling's whereabouts.

No matter at any time, the Blood Immortal Sect is an existence that makes people talk about it.

The many young people and casual cultivators who were looking for opportunities in Zixia Zhenjun's dojo also began to be frightened and alert.

During this trip to the secret realm, there were still many people from the Blood Immortal Sect hidden secretly.

However, there are very few people who are as grand and exposed as Ye Ling.

Therefore, many young people who wanted to avenge their fellow disciples quickly pursued Ye Ling after finding out where he had appeared.

In just a short period of time, the name Ye Ling was pushed to the forefront in this secret realm.

In the main hall, after Qi Heng and others left angrily, the other monks who had gathered before also left separately and did not stay for long.

"Thank you just now." Ling Zhuyun came back to his senses a little, and looked at Jiang Lan with all his emotions in his eyes.

Jiang Lan shook his head and said, "No need."

There was silence for a long time.

"I owe you another favor. If you didn't help me out just now, I might not be able to say such words in the end." Ling Zhuyun said.

It was equivalent to picking herself clean.

She is still the holy virgin of the Yaochi Sect, leaving no stains or traces.

This made her feel a little ashamed, feeling that she was hypocritical and had tarnished the name "Saint".

When Jiang Lan heard this, he just glanced at her and didn't answer.

Ling Zhuyun followed him silently.

"Am...am I a little stupid?" After a moment, she opened her red lips and asked.

"It's not stupid, it's stupid."

"..."

Ling Zhuyun bit her lip, looking straight at him with misty eyes.

Jiang Lan ignored her, called Li Daoyi, Luo Ying, Ao Xu and others, and continued to rush to the dojo.

But judging from the luck coming from Niwan Palace.

Maybe we can give it a little try and advance their relationship?

He thought slightly in his mind.

The corridor building leading to the depths of the dojo is very spacious. The monks have been there a long time ago and swept it away, leaving nothing behind.

The same was true in the rest of the side halls. Almost everything that could be taken away was taken away, like locusts passing through.

Jiang Lan's goal is the Anfu, so he doesn't care about this dojo at all. The real good things are not here.

This dojo was just a place where the former disciples of Zixia Zhenjun practiced and lived. Magical weapons, pills, secret books and scriptures were also ordinary things.

He came here to wander around, just to cover up others' eyes.

"You just scolded me..." Ling Zhuyun followed and said.

"You heard wrong."

"Jiang Lan..."

Jiang Lan walked in front and said casually, "You can't prove your innocence if you do nothing if you are wronged."

"You believe in that person named Ye so much, then just wait and see how he helps you prove your innocence..."

"You obviously have a way, but you do nothing and just wait to die. Isn't this stupid?"

Ling Zhuyun moved her slender legs and followed him silently.

"Are you angry for me?" she asked.

"No, it's just that I'm angry. If I don't come forward for you, are you going to sit back and let Qi Heng and the others catch you, and then lead you to death and wait for death?"

"If Ye Ling is killed in the end, then you will naturally become an accomplice of the Blood Immortal Sect. Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you will not be able to clean yourself up. You will be reduced to the shame of the Yaochi Sect. Are you willing to do this?" Jiang Lan asked.

Ling Zhuyun was silent. From a certain point of view, it was regarded as acquiescence.

Jiang Lan rubbed his eyebrows and seemed to have a headache.

However, he stopped saying anything and seemed too lazy to talk nonsense.

Seeing that Jiang Lan was walking a little too fast, Ling Zhuyun also quickened her pace and followed.

She didn't know why, although Jiang Lan was indeed very angry now, there was a feeling in her heart that was difficult to explain.

This feeling is like a skill that I haven't learned for a long time. One day, I suddenly study it thoroughly and understand it. Then I feel very good, happy and joyful all day long?

"Don't be angry because of me. I also know that this won't solve anything."

"But that's the only way I can think of that won't hurt Qi Heng and the others, and won't bring trouble and trouble to Ye Ling."

"If he was wrongly accused, then if I had chosen to explain at the time and concluded that he was related to the Blood Fairy Cult, it would have been almost impossible for him to clear his suspicions later..." She tried to explain later.

Suddenly, Jiang Lan stopped, and then his back hit a soft ball.

"Saint Zhuyun, you might as well go find your Yaochi Sect disciples first. It's not an option for you to follow me like this." Jiang Lan turned around and said.

Ling Zhuyun didn't expect that he would stop suddenly. She was so confused that she didn't even notice, so she bumped into him.

"Junior sister and the others may have encountered something unexpected. It will be useless if I look for them again."

Hearing this, her eyes darkened slightly and she blamed herself.

Jiang Lan looked at her and said, "If you don't look for it, how will you know it won't help?"

"Or, go find that Ye Ling and prove your innocence to the world, or prove his innocence? It's better to help him clear his suspicions than to follow me like a headless fly."

Ling Zhuyun looked at him blankly, not seeing the slightest hint of joking in his eyes.

"Jiang...Mr. Jiang, you don't want me to follow you, do you?" She raised her eyes and asked softly, her tone was much weaker for some reason.

"There's no point following me when you're like this. I don't want to wipe your ass and clean up the mess." Jiang Lan said.

"I'm sorry..." Ling Zhuyun said guiltily.

Jiang Lan's eyes suddenly fell on her face, as if he wanted to get angry.

Then he took a deep breath to calm down, and then he said almost word for word, "What's the use of saying sorry?"

"You know clearly that I have a grudge against Ye Ling. He wants to kill me again and again, and I want to kill him too. But even if everyone thinks he is related to the Blood Immortal Cult, you must stand by him resolutely. Bian, choose to believe him. If that's the case, why are you still following me now? When I want to kill him, will you stand up to stop me? "

"Go find him, help him clear his suspicions, and prove his innocence."

"The relationship between you and me has been cleared up. You don't have to think about any kindness and still stay with me. I don't need you to help me obtain the inheritance of True Lord Zixia. You go do your thing and don't delay me. OK?"

"I……"

Ling Zhuyun's beautiful eyes suddenly widened and she was stunned. She didn't expect that Jiang Lan would suddenly say this to herself.

And each of these words hit her heart like a heavy hammer, making her head buzz and the jade face under the veil turned pale.

And Jiang Lan seemed to be somewhat affected by his mood after saying these words.

He looked at Ling Zhuyun coldly and continued, "The person who made you suffer injustice was not me, and the person who made you suspected of colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect was not me, but Ye Ling, who is my enemy."

"I was the one who protected you in the hall just now, and I was the one who supported you. But now, you are still thinking and worrying about him, caring about his situation, and thinking that he is innocent, haha. You put What did I think it was? Air?"

"Ling Zhuyun, you are a good person, but I am not. I don't care if Ye Ling is related to the Blood Immortal Cult. From the day he assassinated me, it was destined to be a life-and-death battle between me and him."

"If you are concerned about me, then don't interfere in the grudge between me and him, and don't mention him in front of me. If you are not concerned, then it doesn't matter. In the hall just now, you just thought that I was being sentimental and unnecessary."

After that, Jiang Lan ignored her and turned around to leave.

Ling Zhuyun's head buzzed, but she could only look at him blankly.

The flawless face under the veil looked a little pale, and the delicate body seemed to be trembling slightly because of these words.

Yes, her focus is on whether Ye Ming is related to the Blood Immortal Sect.

But I forgot that there is irresolvable hatred between Jiang Lan and Ye Ming. Whether this has anything to do with Ye Ming and the Blood Immortal Sect has nothing to do with it.

In front of Jiang Lan, she chose to believe his enemy and said words of consideration in front of him... What would he think?

"sorry……"

Ling Zhuyun bit the corners of her lips and clenched her jade hands tightly.

She didn't understand why she felt so flustered as never before, even more flustered than when she heard the news that her junior sisters might be killed.

It wasn't until a moment later that she realized that Jiang Lan had gone far away, that she suddenly came back to her senses, turned into a divine rainbow, and hurriedly chased after him.
