Chapter 241 If you have something to ask for, that's good. Sister Zhaoyi, I want you

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

As for what Shi Tian and Shi Sheng would think, that had little to do with him.

He has some experience in dealing with mentality.

"grandfather……"

"Jiang Lan must have said that on purpose. Judging from what I saw yesterday about Zhao Yi helping me out, she is not that kind of person." After Jiang Lan left, Shi Tian's slightly gloomy expression relaxed and he speculated.

He was not a stupid man. He was indeed a little worried at that moment, but when he thought about it carefully, since Jiang Lan wanted to leave, he could just leave. Why would he waste his breath and say so much?

Of course, the main reason was that he trusted Nie Zhaoyi very much.

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

"Jiang Lan is called the future Heavenly Emperor by the world, and it'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 frowned slightly and guessed.

"Grandpa, since you are an old acquaintance of the King of Nie Er, 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 Kingdom let her recognize me?" Shi Tian was very puzzled.

Hearing this, Shi Sheng sighed, which was rare, and said, "Although I am an old acquaintance of that guy, I haven't seen him for a long time. At the beginning, we had some disagreements due to some things, and the last time we met, we parted unhappily."

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

"Grandpa, you are a saint, the king of Nie Er Country. It is impossible that you will not even give you this little face."

Shi Tian was somewhat surprised and asked, "Could it be that this person is also a saint who has been hiding from the world?"

"He has not taken that step, but due to some reasons, he was blessed with a heaven-defying fortune, and his life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. Even now, he is still in his prime. Even ordinary supreme powers are not his match with a single palm."

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 hand, and a faint glow flickered there, turning into a string of peach-kernel bracelets that were shiny black.

"Since you want to meet Nie Zhaoyi, then send this thing to him as well. For my sake, the king of Nie Er Kingdom should not make things difficult for you." He said calmly.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Shi Tian showed surprise on his face. He immediately took it respectfully and then stepped back.

The capital of Nie'er Kingdom was not big, and was even far less prosperous than Niecheng. After Jiang Lan and his men left the Shiling clan's territory, they headed straight for this city.

He did not conceal his identity, and the soldiers at the city gate did not dare to stop him. The moment he appeared in Nie Erdu City, many ministers had already received the news and came to greet him.

On the wide long street, luxurious chariots pulled by handsome pegasus horses were heading towards the imperial palace. The vendors, street vendors, shops and many pedestrians on both sides had been cleared away, making the street look very empty.

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

"I heard Zhao Yi talking about this yesterday. Saint Son Jiang Lan has come to visit us. It is truly an honor for us to have you step foot on this humble land."

The current monarch of the Nie Er Kingdom is named Nie Wushuang. He came to the outside of the palace and personally greeted them with only a few eunuchs carrying golden lamps and incense burners.

He seemed very polite, with a smile on his face. He was wearing a simple silk casual suit with the national flower of Nie Er country embroidered on the collar and sleeves. He had a fair and easy-going face and looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was from the same era as Shi Sheng and had lived for more than ten thousand years.

Next to the king of Nie Er State, Nie Zhaoyi folded her hands and placed them quietly in front of her belly, with a dignified and elegant manner.

Compared to her casual look yesterday, her outfit today was obviously much more solemn and careful, with a slender neck, bright eyes and white teeth, she looked like a lotus emerging from water, gentle and beautiful.

"I have met the king, and the king is smiling. I am flattered that the king personally came to greet me when I came to visit."

Jiang Lan smiled and asked his followers to wait outside the palace while he went forward with the gifts he had prepared.

"Saint Son Jiang Lan, you are too polite. The one who is more accomplished comes first. I am just a little older than you. In terms of strength, I am probably not Saint Son Jiang Lan's opponent."

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

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

This surprised Jiang Lan a little. King Nie Er's attitude was a little too humble.

But on second thought, with his current status, wherever he goes, the strongest person from some faction will come out to greet him personally? And the fact that Lord Nie Er was so humble was probably because he had something to ask for.

In his impression, not long after the birth of Nie Er Kingdom, it would be annexed by the Gou Chen Star Field among the four star fields.

Since there is a request, things will be easy.

Deep in the palace, there is a picturesque cloud pond with curling mist. In the middle sits a huge bronze square tripod, with fish and turtles swimming around, full of vitality. Compared with the Great Xia Palace, it is a bit too plain.

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

King Nie Er was very easygoing and talkative. He placed Jiang Lan on a peer level and did not ask about the purpose of Jiang Lan's visit. Instead, he talked about the customs and habits of Nie Er's country, the purpose of the founding of the country, its history and other aspects. When the conversation got interesting, he called a group of palace maids to dance in the palace to liven up the atmosphere.

Jiang Lan listened with a smile on his face, only responding occasionally.

If someone who doesn't know the situation sees the two of them having such a long and intimate conversation, they might think that they are close friends.

Later, King Nie Er ordered someone to bring the spiritual wine that he had treasured for a long time and poured it for Jiang Lan personally.

Even Nie Zhaoyi, who had been accompanying him in the hall, couldn't help but frown when she saw this scene, feeling that her adoptive father's attitude was a little too intimate.

What would happen if the people of Nie Er country saw this?

"My Nie Er country is located deep in the North Sea. During these years of seclusion, we have accumulated a lot of treasures. During this period, the prosperity and bustle of Nie City must have been seen by Saint Son Jiang Lan."

"My Nie Er country has a lot of treasures, but as the king, I am weak and cannot protect such a huge wealth. And seeing that the world is about to change, who wouldn't want to fight for it?"

"In the Gouchen star field, there is my old enemy. He got a drop of Gouchen's true blood left in the world. Three months later, the world will change drastically and he will definitely become a saint. Then he will definitely not let my Nie Er Kingdom go." With the help of wine, King Nie Er also took the opportunity to express his helplessness and worries to Jiang Lan.

The ordinary supreme powers are no match for him, but his mortal enemy is already half a step into the holy realm.

The gap in strength between the two is huge, and it’s not just a little bit.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaoyi's eyes dimmed. She naturally knew about this. It was said that the great demon in the Gou Chen star field wanted to devour her lichen grass growing in the Xitu, so that her bloodline could undergo a transformation and make further progress.

King Nie Er couldn't stand this and couldn't bear to see her being devoured by it, so he fought with it and the two became mortal enemies.

Jiang Lan put down his wine glass, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you worrying too much about this? With the Stone Saint in charge of the North Sea, who dares to attack? Your great enemy in the Gouchen Star Region has not dared to attack you for so many years. Could it be that he has the courage to do so after three months?"

Hearing this, Lord Nie Er sighed, glanced at Nie Zhaoyi behind him, and said in a voice transmission, "Saint Son Jiang Lan, you don't understand. Saint Shi and I did know each other, but that was a long time ago. I have been seeking the Tao all my life, and I have no wife or children. Although Zhaoyi is my adopted daughter, I treat her as my own and love her very much."

"And the grandson of the Stone Saint, Shi Tian, ​​is actually one of the three Heaven-Repairing Stones. Although his younger brother, Shi Ning, was also transformed from a Heaven-Repairing Stone, he was eroded by Shi Tian's instincts when he was conceiving and giving birth to his consciousness, which robbed him of all his nutrients. Therefore, he is born with congenital deficiencies."

"It is precisely because of this reason that Shi Tian was accomplished, and his foundation and footing far surpassed that of any other living being, and he is known as a natural saint."

"Zhao Yi was born with the Bu Tian Stone, and was contaminated with a trace of its aura. She was born with intelligence before Shi Tian, ​​which is equivalent to robbing him of a trace of his innate fortune. Shi Tian wants to make up for this fortune, so he will definitely have to take away Zhao Yi's foundation in the future..."

"This innate good fortune has added a love calamity to Zhaoyi's fate. I am worried that this calamity will befall Shi Tian, ​​and she will die and her soul will be scattered. Shi Sheng already knew about this and could have taken away Zhaoyi's innate good fortune earlier to save her life, but he refused on the grounds that she was destined to have this calamity. I had a big quarrel with him because of this, and we have parted ways since then..."

When King Nie Er was telling this story, he did so by voice transmission and did not let Nie Zhaoyi behind him know.

Jiang Lan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that King Nie Er was so honest and didn't hide anything.

However, he did have some impression of this matter, and it was almost the same as what King Nie Er said.

"Your Majesty, are you telling me this because you want me to help your Nie Er Kingdom in three months?" Jiang Lan asked bluntly with a smile on his face.

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

“Maybe by that time, Saint Son Jiang Lan, you will have become a saint…” King Nie Er said with a smile.

He was indeed very optimistic about Jiang Lan. Just having broken through the eighth level gave him a heavy sense of oppression.

If the rumors are true, Jiang Lan may really be invincible under the Saint.

If he were to enter the ranks of supreme powers, he might even be able to accomplish heaven-defying feats and defeat saints with his mortal body.

If you make friends with Jiang Lan in advance, you will never suffer any loss.

"From the treasury of my Nie Er country, Saint Son Jiang Lan can take whatever he likes." King Nie Er said again.

Even Nie Zhaoyi was deeply shocked when he heard this. Isn't this equivalent to handing over the national treasury to others?

"The king is really a down-to-earth person, but I also always like dealing with down-to-earth people." Jiang Lan smiled slightly. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

Although Nie Er's country is small, its foundation is no less than those of the saintly families, and there should be many good things in the treasury.

"In that case, let Zhaoyi take Saint Son Jiang Lan to choose." King Nie Er showed joy on his face, and he was also very straightforward.

"But before that, I have a favor to ask," Jiang Lan said.

"Please speak, Holy Son Jiang Lan..." said King Nie Er.

Jiang Lan looked at Nie Zhaoyi behind him and said, "I think Princess Zhaoyi has already told the king about what happened yesterday. I want to find Xitu, and Princess Zhaoyi was once contaminated by its aura, so I want Princess Zhaoyi to be wronged for a while, stay by my side, and help me find Xitu."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing this, King Nie Er was stunned. Behind him, Nie Zhaoyi's beautiful eyes widened suddenly. She was shocked and shocked, and subconsciously shook her head to refuse.

Not to mention what would happen if she followed Jiang Lan, just how much of an impact would it have on her reputation if this matter got out?

"this……"

King Nie Er also became a little hesitant.

There are many rumors about Jiang Lan, but what many cultivators talk about most is the group of beautiful women around him, each of whom is extremely beautiful.

Many people who like to gossip about him say that he is a playboy and has many affairs with women.

"Are you doubting my character, my Lord?"

Jiang Lan smiled, and then said slowly, "I won't stay in the North Sea for long. If Princess Zhaoyi can help me find Xitu, that would be the best. If not, I will have to think of other ways."

King Nie Er was also a shrewd man. He realized immediately that he was the one who needed help. Jiang Lan was fully capable and qualified to talk to him properly without having to sit here.

In this world, everything is determined by strength.

"I naturally trust the character of Saint Jiang Lan."

He sighed slightly, "But I can't make the decision for Zhaoyi on this matter. She has to agree to it herself."

"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 respond. Instead, she said softly, "I will take Saint Jiang Lan to the national treasury first."

At the same time, outside the capital of Nie Er State, Shi Tian looked at the closed city gate with a frown on his face. He pulled a guard in front of him and asked, "Why is the city closed so early today?"

The soldier obviously recognized him, and his expression was a little fearful and evasive. He explained, "In order to receive the distinguished guests, the king has cleared out irrelevant people. The capital is under lockdown for a day, and no one is allowed to set foot in."

"Dear guest..."

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

He did not make things difficult for the guards guarding the capital. With his level of cultivation, it was not difficult for him to enter without being noticed.

"Is the bracelet my grandpa gave me useful?"

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

He waved his hand casually, and a mighty gust of wind emerged, tearing the void apart at will. Then he determined the coordinates of a certain space and time and walked straight in.

There are only restrictions and formations near the imperial palace in Nie'er's capital, but under the guidance of Shi Sheng since childhood, Shi Tian has acquired various skills, so he easily appeared within the high walls of the imperial palace and stepped out steadily from the void without alarming anyone.

It was Shi Tian's first time to come to the palace of Nie Er Kingdom. He was afraid of alerting the patrolling guards, so he concealed his own breath by using the method of gathering his breath, and performed an invisibility technique to blend himself with the surrounding environment, and then walked towards the depths of the palace.

His purpose was to meet the king of Nie Er State, and by the way, see if he could meet Nie Zhaoyi and reminisce about the past with her.

But since Jiang Lan is being entertained, there probably won't be many people in other parts of the palace. The king of Nie Er Kingdom has never been married and has no children. The huge palace seems very empty and deserted.

"Which direction is the palace where Zhao Yi usually rests?"

Shi Tian did not send out his spiritual sense to investigate casually, for fear of being discovered by the masters in the palace and causing unnecessary trouble.

So he was very careful along the way, passing through empty palaces and finally passing through several high walls. He faintly heard footsteps coming from a distance.

The pavilion corridor is built with bluestone and hung with some wind chimes. You can faintly hear the crisp tinkling sound, which is very melodious and pleasant.

"Saint Son Jiang Lan, won't you take another look? We can't always access the treasury of our Nie Er country. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be a second one."

In Shi Tian's ears, the female voice sounded very soft and gentle, but also very familiar. It was the woman who rescued him in the white jade carriage yesterday.

Zhao Yi...

As he repeated the name, his emotions suddenly fluctuated greatly and became very intense.

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

The two of them were actually here, not at the banquet, and it seemed that they had also visited the treasury of Nie Er State? "I have always been a contented person. No matter how many treasures I have, they are actually useless to me. Taking one or two is enough."

Along with the crisp sound of wind chimes, the man's voice was clear and calm, like the moonlight and the gentle breeze, which could easily make the woman feel favored.

“I guess Saint Son Jiang Lan is well-informed and doesn’t look down on these treasures.” The woman’s voice seemed to be a gentle smile, and she responded politely.

"Zhao Yi..." Shi Tian was still muttering this name. The desire to meet him and reminisce about the past was more urgent than ever before.

He carefully concealed his figure and looked through the arched doorway on the other side of the pavilion. He could vaguely see two figures. The man was otherworldly and detached, dressed in white as white as snow. He had his hands slightly behind his back and looked casual and unrestrained.

The woman beside him behaved gently and gracefully, with a little makeup on her beautiful face. She was not only beautiful and charming, but also showed a kind of softness and intelligence, like a fairy orchid blooming in the 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.

Shi Tian looked at this scene and his mood finally improved a little. He didn't know why, but when he saw the two people walking side by side, he felt a wave of sour and stinging emotions in his heart.

If Shi Sheng had not told him the whole story, he might never have known the relationship between him and that woman.

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

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

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

"I want you." Jiang Lan put away his smile and his expression became serious.

When Nie Zhaoyi heard this, her head buzzed and seemed to go blank all of a sudden. Her beautiful eyes widened instantly and she was at a loss.

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

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