Chapter 102 is so green that it glows. Will it be returned to you after three days of use?
"Thank you, Senior Sister Li... for helping me out at the banquet yesterday."
Su Qinghan organized his thoughts, took a few steps forward, and thanked him sincerely.
She didn't know how to address Li Mengning, so she just called her "senior sister", but she was worried that calling her "sister" might be a bit abrupt.
“…”
Li Mengning looked at her in confusion, wondering why Su Qinghan suddenly thanked her.
But she thought about it and nodded gently, with no emotion in her clear eyes.
Su Qinghan already had some understanding of her character, so he was not surprised by this. He smiled inwardly and, like Li Mengning, found a piece of bluestone, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.
Li Mengning had a better background and stronger talent than her, but she still practiced so hard and diligently and refused to slack off.
She admired it very much.
During this period, Chu Chan was not with Jiang Lan. Instead, she was a little lazy and stuck with him all day long, getting addicted to him.
Even his cultivation had fallen behind.
However, the Su Nu Qi Xing Gong taught to her by True Man Yu Qing was not very effective when she practiced it during the day.
When she and Jiang Lan practiced dual cultivation at night, she was unable to practice the Su Nu Qi Xing Gong.
"Sure enough, I still have to go to Dao Cang Sword Sect..."
Su Qinghan actually felt a sense of urgency in her heart, especially after Master Zixia and her group returned from the secret realm, she was vaguely unable to see clearly about Chan's cultivation strength.
Chu Chan's strength improved rapidly, what she lacked before were only opportunities and resources.
Now that he has everything he needs, his strength is increasing rapidly, as if he has accumulated a lot of experience.
But Chu Chan knew how to please Jiang Lan.
During the time in Anyang City, she often saw Chu Chan ordering her servants to go to Wuyi Lane to purchase some mermaid silk clothes that were as thin as gauze.
If Chu Chan was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would probably know how to please the lady.
Su Qinghan didn't want to get involved, but someone forced her to get involved...
On the other hand, after having breakfast with his parents, Jiang Lan asked about the Xie family.
Jiang Lintian thought he was a little worried, so he said with a smile, "Father has already ordered everything to be arranged, Lan'er can rest assured, Xie Jianjia can't fly away even if she has wings."
"Emperor Xia intends to protect Xie Jianjia and plans to send the Xie family's women away in batches, some to the Dao Cang Sword Sect and some to the Canglan Sword Sect."
"And Xie Jianjia claimed to the public that she was sent to the Dao Cang Sword Sect, but in fact, she was among the female relatives sent to the Canglan Sword Sect. Even Xie Jianjia herself was unaware of this."
"Father knows what you are worried about. Xiao Teng, the third son of Zhenbei King Xiao He, has a deep affection for Xie Jianjia. After receiving the news yesterday, he started looking for friends to escort her safely to the Sword Sect..."
"How could his little tricks be hidden from my father's eyes?"
"Everything is as planned by my father."
"It seems that father has already made all the arrangements. I am just worrying too much." Jiang Lan naturally had nothing to say about this.
His father's plans were extremely meticulous and flawless.
His father had taken into account all the necessary considerations.
But the only thing he overlooked was Xiao Teng's own extraordinary qualities.
As the illegitimate son of Ge Qixing and the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Xiao Teng not only possesses a stellar body, but also has a pair of divine pupils that can see through delusion. This is a secret that he hides very deeply, and few people know about it.
In the entire Zhenbei Palace, only the Zhenbei King knew about it.
This pair of divine pupils can allow Xiao Teng to deduce and sense the many dangers and plots in the dark, and avoid danger and seek good fortune.
Even though his father had the Tianji Pavilion behind him that could gather information from all over the world, he still didn't know Xiao Teng's secret.
Jiang Lan did not explain too much. After all, if he said it out loud, it would be beyond the scope of the fragment of the future that he had seen yesterday.
"Father, I plan to go to the Tianjiansi in person." He suddenly said.
"Oh, why?" Jiang Lintian was slightly surprised.
"I want to personally confirm whether Xie Jianjia's Yuanyin is still there. If it has been lost long ago, there is no need to go through so much trouble." Jiang Lan said.
Of course, he just said it casually. In the original plot, Xie Jianjia had Xiao Teng hanging tightly and didn't even let him touch her hand.
He actually went there with other plans.
After all, Jiantiansi is an important place in Daxia, and it is not easy to get in. Even if he is the son of the prime minister, he needs a pass.
“That’s fine.”
Jiang Lintian nodded slightly, understanding Jiang Lan's obsessive-compulsive disorder, and took off his identity token and handed it to Jiang Lan.
As for the pass token of the Heavenly Supervisor, it is not as useful as his identity token.
…
At the same time, in the magnificent hall in the deepest part of Jingyang City.
A tall figure wearing a crown and a bright yellow dragon robe was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
Looking down from his perspective, one can see the long palace walls and towering courtyard buildings.
In the distance, you can vaguely see a silver waterfall falling from the vast sacred mountain, stirring up endless water vapor.
The divine island is hidden among the fairy mountains, with clouds and mist rising up, which is a magnificent sight.
"These are all my kingdom and my people..."
The tall figure spoke softly.
His face was extremely fair and handsome, with sharp edges and clear features, and he was slightly thin. He looked very neutral, and even his voice was the same, yet it also contained a hint of the majesty of an emperor.
Beside him, several women who looked like maids followed and stood with their eyes lowered.
One of them held a sword, one had a knife on his waist, one held an ancient seal, and one held a seal. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from them, they were all obviously successful in cultivation.
In the far distance of the main hall, palace maids were walking back and forth and eunuchs were standing by, holding golden lamps and incense burners in their hands, a total of one hundred and eight of them.
The tall figure before him was none other than Emperor Xia, the ruler of Great Xia who now controlled the numerous immortal sects and ethnic groups in Zhongtian Province and was feared by hundreds of surrounding countries, large and small.
"How ridiculous that my kingdom is so vast, yet they don't listen to me."
"In the court, he was threatened. None of the ministers dared to step forward and rebuke the old thief named Jiang..."
"My reputation has been completely ruined by these rubbish."
"Grand Tutor has taught me so much, but now I can't even protect the Xie family. I can only watch as the entire family is demoted..."
Emperor Xia looked at the vast and magnificent mountains and rivers outside. Although he was full of lofty sentiments, at this moment he felt a lot of depression in his heart that was difficult to vent.
A pair of fists as white as jade were clenched tightly, and blue veins were visible on the fair skin.
The maids stood with their heads down, not daring to look up, knowing that Emperor Xia was very angry.
Over the years, scenes like this have occurred so frequently that they are nothing new.
But it is rare to see Emperor Xia still angry for two whole days like he is now.
"Old thief surnamed Jiang, I have tolerated him for a long time, and I have tolerated him again and again, and I have retreated again and again, but he still goes too far..."
"Today you can directly say that the censor is colluding with the demon, and tomorrow you can freely frame the nine ministers..."
Emperor Xia had a cold expression, his face as gloomy as water.
During my father's reign, the Prime Minister was somewhat restrained.
After his father passed away, the Prime Minister began to show his claws and ambitions.
In just a few decades, he had already devoured all the power in Daxia.
Today, the imperial court has become a one-man show for him.
This time, the Prime Minister grabbed a memorial in front of all the ministers and reported it to the emperor, bluntly stating that the Xie family was colluding with the devil and hoped that Your Majesty would punish them severely.
But only Emperor Xia knew that the things mentioned in that memorial were totally unrelated to the topic.
The so-called evidence is nothing but a few casual remarks made by that old thief named Jiang.
Faced with such a situation, Emperor Xia could only do as he did when he was a child. He knew that there was a deer in front of him, but he still said it was a horse.
This humiliation reminded him of the powerlessness and anger he felt in his childhood.
"I will tolerate you for a few more years now. After a few years, I will definitely start with your Xiangguo Mansion and leave no one alive..."
Emperor Xia took a deep breath, and his mood finally calmed down.
On the golden dragon throne nearby, covered with soft embroidered satin, a white cat with smooth fur was quietly lying there taking a nap.
Emperor Xia walked over, held it in his arms and sat down.
The white cat opened its eyes, revealing a human-like expression in its pair of turquoise pupils. It stretched out its bright red, tender tongue and licked the back of her hand, which calmed Emperor Xia down a little.
"Chunlan..." Emperor Xia said.
"Your Majesty..." A cold maid holding a sword stepped forward.
"Call the Right Commandant of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace." Emperor Xia said.
The Daxia Imperial Guard Commandery is in charge of the Imperial Guards, which are divided into two commanders on the left and right, commanding the five guards of the center, left, right, front and back. They are dedicated to the defense of the imperial city and are considered her most trusted personal soldiers.
The Heavenly Supervisory Department does not interfere with imperial power and is not responsible for the royal family.
Even Emperor Xia would find it difficult to interfere with the administrative operations.
However, in recent years, she has also made many plans and efforts to infiltrate and control the Tianjian Division.
Now the Prime Minister intends to force the Xie family to hand over Xie Jianjia, and does not hesitate to maliciously slander them in the court, causing the imperial envoy and his family to be thrown into prison.
Emperor Xia chose to compromise due to many reasons, but that didn't mean she would turn a blind eye and let it go.
When Xie Jianjia was born, a phantom of a fairy phoenix descended to the world. Even the imperial teacher said that the Xie family would prosper, so she personally bestowed her the royal surname, made her a princess, and awarded her a fiefdom.
In order to win people's hearts, he has given them many treasures over the years.
She did this naturally because she hoped that Xie Jianjia would be grateful and loyal to her in the future.
Now the Prime Minister is planning to interfere and let Xie Jianjia enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she naturally won't let him succeed.
However, this kind of thing cannot be made public.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty..."
Soon, a handsome man in armor came into the hall led by several eunuchs.
His name was Situ Ying. The Situ family was a family of military generals, and his father was conferred the title of Duke Zhongguo, holding a high position of power.
Behind the curtain, Emperor Xia stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "The Heavenly Supervisor is escorting the Xie family's women to the Sword Sect. You secretly ordered someone to protect them. No mistakes are allowed to happen along the way."
"If any forces dare to rob or pillage, they will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Situ Ying received the order and then withdrew.
"The thief Jiang must have planned everything long ago. He has also planted many people in the Tianjian Division. We must not be careless."
"However, he is now fighting so hard to find the foundation-building items for Jiang Lan. What is his purpose? Is he bluffing? Or is he deliberately covering it up?"
After Situ Ying left, Emperor Xia gently rubbed his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
She glanced at the maid beside her and said, "Xia Zhu, present all the news about what happened in Anyang City recently. I want to check it out myself."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid holding the knife said respectfully, and her figure quickly disappeared in the hall.
"The Blood Immortal Sect is lurking in secret, ready to make a move. The thieves in the court are quite powerful and are causing chaos in our court. The major immortal sects are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, and the Ming Zun is secretly mocking them. The other major states are also unwilling to give up their evil intentions and intend to compete for Zhongtian State..."
"Xiao Bai, what do you think I should do? The country is in turmoil, disaster is coming, and I don't know if I can protect the country left by my parents."
Emperor Xia gently stroked the white cat in his arms with his white jade hands, as if muttering to himself.
The white cat seemed to understand her sorrow and worry at the moment. It stuck out its tongue and gently licked the back of her hand as if to comfort her.
"You are the last royal bloodline of the White Tiger clan, but now you can only turn into a cat. Are you willing?" Emperor Xia smiled.
The white cat rolled his eyes at her when he heard that.
However, Queen Xia seemed to be lost in memories because of these words. She was still young at that time, only in her teens.
In order to explore the base of the demons in Xilingzhou, he went there alone.
And there he met Xiaobai. Although she was from the noble White Tiger clan and had royal blood, she was hunted by many demons. She could only flee in the forest like an ordinary wild beast, avoiding the flying arrows.
The demon behind him laughed loudly and chased after him slowly, full of mockery, as if he was looking at a beast trapped in a cage.
At that moment, she seemed to see her own destiny...
No, she was unwilling to accept this fate.
If she wants to break the impasse, she must have supreme strength. As long as she is strong enough, any plans and calculations will be like a moon in the mirror and shattered at the slightest touch.
"I always feel that Jiang the Thief is deliberately hiding something. Although I was young back then, I have seen Jiang Lan from afar, and he doesn't look like a dandy waste."
"Over the years, he has repeatedly caused trouble in the imperial capital, causing unrest among all parties, and has earned the reputation of being the most dissolute person in Daxia..."
"What is your intention?"
"Given the character of that thief Jiang, he made such a big fuss to ask for all kinds of rare treasures related to the Phoenix Clan. It is very likely that he did it on purpose to confuse people."
"After all, Jiang Lan has just built his foundation at such a young age. Even if he practices hard and has many opportunities, it is difficult for him to catch up with his peers. So Jiang Ze wants to directly tell the world that Jiang Lan is not a threat, so that everyone can focus on him? To protect Jiang Lan?"
"This behavior does make it easy for people to think that Jiang Lan had no previous cultivation. But doesn't Jiang the thief know the principle that the more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes?"
"The more this is the case, the more I will test it."
Emperor Xia was lost in thought as he stroked the white cat in his arms.
At this time, the maid holding the ancient seal in the hall suddenly stepped forward, came to the barrier where Emperor Xia was sitting, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Naxian League that the half-immortal master you have been seeking to see is finally willing to meet you."
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Xia stood up suddenly and almost let the white cat in his arms fall to the ground.
She couldn't hide her joy on her face, and said, "Go ahead, I will go to the Naxian League in person."
Over the years, she disguised herself as a disciple of an aristocratic family and visited many immortal sects in the martial arts world, looking for traces of them, making friends with talented people, recruiting talented people to serve her, and using them.
The Naxian League was founded by her personally, and now there are many masters in it.
Of course, the most important thing is that some of these characters have extraordinary abilities.
Even the imperial teacher couldn't help but admire after knowing this, thinking that in time, those people would surely achieve something.
And that half-immortal was a mysterious existence mentioned in the edict left by her father before his death.
Over the years, Emperor Xia has been sending people to search for the traces of those semi-immortals. It was not until several months later that he finally got some clues and determined the location of their secluded caves.
Emperor Xia was anxious, so he changed into casual clothes and disguised himself slightly. Then, under the protection of several maids and guards, he left through the secret passage behind the palace.
…
Jiantiansi, damp water prison, seventh floor.
As a prison where many criminals are imprisoned in Daxia, the perennial dampness makes it filled with an unpleasant smell of decay.
The candlelight on both sides of the corridor is burning with mermaid fat, which never goes out and is difficult to be penetrated by water mist.
"The heavens are blind and the powerful ministers are in power. Sooner or later, our Great Xia country will be destroyed by that evil minister."
"My Xie family has been loyal and dedicated for generations, and has made countless contributions to Daxia. But in the end, we were framed by the thieves and ended up in such a miserable situation..."
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a brocade robe covered in dirt, was filled with indignation and unwillingness. He tightly grasped the lock of the cell door, trying to make some noise so that the soldiers patrolling outside could hear him.
Unfortunately, the soldiers all looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them, as if they hadn't heard it.
There are quite a few important officials imprisoned in the Tiantian Division.
Over the years, the center of power in the court has shifted.
Many prominent families were purged, and quite a few court officials were thrown into prison.
Among them are even some old ministers who have served in several dynasties and are still imprisoned deep in the prison.
"Father, there is no need to be like this. The people who wronged our Xie family know better than anyone how wronged we are. It is not a solution for you to continue to be so angry..."
Inside the prison, a young man saw this and began to advise.
He looked equally disheveled, but his face was 70% similar to the middle-aged man in front of him. He was squatting in a corner of the cell, his body was wet, and he looked equally disheveled.
Moreover, his hands and feet were covered with chains, and because his spiritual sea was sealed, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body.
The middle-aged man was the current censor Xie Qing, and the young man was his eldest son Xie Yunshuang.
Because of colluding with the devil and stealing the royal secret book.
Thousands of people from the Xie family were demoted to commoners in one day and were all imprisoned in the Tiansi Prison, awaiting their fate.
Now the verdict has come down.
The day after tomorrow morning, all males will have their cultivation abolished and be sent to the border areas to defend against hundreds of foreign races and countries.
As for the female members, they were sent to the Sword Sect to wash their swords and were not allowed to leave the Sword Sect for the rest of their lives.
"Haha, God wants to destroy our Great Xia. The powerful minister is so powerful that no one in the court can defend our Xie family. Just because I rejected his shameless request, he framed and slandered us..."
Xie Qing sat slumped on the spot with a miserable smile on his face.
Although Xie Yunshuang was also angry and clenched his fists, he also knew that he was facing such a situation.
The Xie family had no plan or means of resistance.
In the court, even His Majesty the Emperor Xia remained silent, not daring to offend the Prime Minister. What else could the others do? "How could our Xie family offer our daughters for glory..."
"The Prime Minister is so shameless that he wants us to send Jianjia to the Prime Minister's Mansion. How can we give in to such a bully?" Xie Yunshuang said.
Xie Qing still looked miserable.
Who could have thought that just because he rejected his request, Jiang Lintian would be so cruel that he fabricated facts and framed him in front of all the ministers in the court.
The Xie family has been clean for generations, so how could they collude with the devil?
Falsifying historical records and stealing royal secret books is even more absurd.
However, even though everyone knew that all this was just a false accusation, no one in the court stood up to explain for the Xie family.
Although Emperor Xia looked unhappy, he did not say a word. His silence indicated that he had acquiesced to the charges submitted by the Prime Minister.
The huge Xie family fell apart overnight.
Many of the dependent families fled in a hurry and were unable to take care of themselves, so how could they have the opportunity to help the Xie family?
"It's all my daughter's fault..."
"It has brought the family to this state."
At this moment, a cold and slightly guilty voice sounded from across the prison where the two men were imprisoned.
Upon hearing this, both Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang looked up, then sighed and said, "Jian Jia..."
"This is not your fault. The current situation in Daxia is like this, and the world is even more like this. Even my father and others can hardly protect themselves, let alone a woman like you."
"If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on that thief who brought chaos to the government..."
Across from the prison, a woman was imprisoned.
She had an extremely beautiful appearance, eyes like lacquer, a nose like jade, long black hair hanging down, and a green jade hairpin in her hair. She exuded a kind of elegance, luxury and coolness.
The originally pure white gauze dress was now stained with mud, some white and some black, but even though she was in the water dungeon, she still exuded a sense of calmness and composure.
"Father and brother, there is no need to do this. It is my daughter who has dragged down the Xie family."
"If we had agreed to the Prime Minister's request back then, how could the Xie family have ended up in this situation?" Xie Jianjia said with guilt and self-blame.
"Jianjia, don't say such things. Do you know what will happen to you if I hand you over to the Prime Minister and send you to his mansion?" Xie Qing asked loudly, worried that Xie Jianjia would be unable to get over it and make some compromising move.
Xie Jianjia's long eyelashes drooped slightly as she whispered, "It's just innocence. In comparison, if it can exchange for the health of my father and brother, and protect the Xie family, what does this mean?"
"Jianjia you..."
Hearing this, Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang felt waves of pain and self-blame in their hearts.
Xie Jianjia has always been so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. Even in this situation, she is still thinking about the family.
"Jianjia, stop talking nonsense like that."
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. That villain has been wanting to target my Xie family for a long time. Now he has simply found an excuse." Xie Qing sighed.
Xie Jianjia's eyes seemed to have turned dim because of these words.
"Uncle Xie Qing, Uncle Yun Shuang..."
"Reeds..."
At this moment, a soft cry sounded in the dim corridor.
A handsome man in a light fur coat and loose belt came here accompanied by several jailers.
"Xiao Teng?"
Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang both recognized the person who came. They were stunned at first, but then they couldn't help but feel happy.
During the days he was in prison, none of his former colleagues came to visit him, but Xiao Teng took a huge risk and came in person.
This sincerity touched both of them, and it was worth the importance they placed on him.
Xie Jianjia seemed to have not expected that Xiao Teng would appear here, and she said coquettishly, "Brother Xiao Teng..."
"Reeds..."
Xiao Teng felt distressed when he saw her haggard appearance in prison, but he could do nothing as the black iron bars separated her.
"Jianjia, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent and can't protect you." He said with guilt and distress.
"Brother Xiao Teng, there is no need to say such things. What does this have to do with you?" Xie Jianjia consoled.
Xiao Teng sighed in his heart. He had been struggling for a long time to get a token from his father, the King of Zhenbei, to meet Xie Jianjia at the Jiantian Division.
Nowadays, all the princes and nobles of Daxia are unwilling to have any contact with the Xie family, fearing that they will be misunderstood and liquidated by the Prime Minister at this juncture.
He said briefly, "Jianjia, don't worry, I will protect you."
"I have asked some of my friends to go to the Sword Sect to make arrangements. No one will embarrass you then. Once we get to the Sword Sect, I will find a way to clear your Xie family's grievances and give you justice."
"Believe me, I swear on my heart."
Xiao Teng currently has no idea which sword sect Xie Jianjia will be sent to.
Today, there are three major sword sects in Daxia, also known as the three major sword clans, namely the Dao Cang Sword Sect, the Canglan Sword Sect, and the Wuji Sword Sect.
According to the information he has received now, Xie Jianjia might be sent to Daocang Sword Sect.
However, the intuition of the Divine Pupil of Breaking Delusion told him that there might be something wrong, so he was sure that this was just a trick and Xie Jianjia might be sent to Canglan Sword Sect.
When Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang heard this, they were moved. It is good to add icing on the cake, but it is nothing compared to the timely assistance now.
In order to protect Xie Jianjia, help the Xie family clear suspicion and restore justice, Xiao Teng was willing to swear an oath on his Taoist heart.
"I was right about Xiao Teng. Entrusting Jianjia to him is indeed the best choice." Xie Qing felt relieved.
Xie Jianjia seemed to be moved by Xiao Teng's sincere words at this moment, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
After a long while, she whispered, "Brother Xiao Teng, why do you have to do this? From now on, Jianjia is just a sinner, and will spend the whole day washing swords for a living..."
Xiao Teng interrupted her and said, "Jianjia, there is no need to say more. No matter what you look like in the future, in my heart, you will always be my sister Jianjia."
His voice was sonorous and his expression was sincere.
Although these words were meant to impress Xie Jianjia, they more often contained his sincere heart.
Xie Jianjia stared at him blankly, remaining silent for a long time.
"The entire family of the Imperial Censor is now imprisoned here."
"Mr. Jiang, come this way..."
At this moment, sounds of footsteps and talking suddenly came from the damp dungeon.
Hearing this, not only Xiao Teng was stunned, but Xie Jianjia and others also seemed to be stunned and couldn't help but look over.
Under the dim light, a young and noble man in white, led by several soldiers, walked towards this place.
As if intimidated by the stench of the place, the young man in white clothes who was walking over gently covered his nose with a folding fan, and his eyes swept across casually with a hint of disgust.
"Jiang Lan..."
How could Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang not recognize Jiang Lan?
Seeing him appear here, anger and coldness appeared on their faces, and they stared at him intently.
"Your Excellency the Censor..."
"Are you used to this place?"
Jiang Lan seemed to have just noticed Xie Qing. He glanced at him and asked with a chuckle.
"Jiang Lan, what are you doing here? This is the Heavenly Guardian, not your Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you really think that the Prime Minister's Mansion can reach here?"
Xie Qing looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disgust.
"You are joking, Lord Censor. I just came to see Miss Jianjia. I heard that she once obtained a drop of fairy phoenix blood, and I came here to confirm it." Jiang Lan still chuckled casually.
He ignored the angry Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang, and his eyes fell on Xiao Teng, who had an equally cold expression.
He looked at it for a moment, then seemed to recognize it.
"Xiao Teng, the illegitimate son of Zhenbei King Xiao He?" Jiang Lan asked casually.
Xiao Teng looked at him coldly without saying a word.
The coldness on his face became even stronger, but due to the place and Jiang Lan's identity, he still suppressed it tightly.
As Xiao He's illegitimate son, he hated others mentioning this matter the most. As soon as Jiang Lan came, he jumped into his minefield.
"Why does he look nothing like Zhenbei King Xiaohe?"
"Has no one asked about this in all these years?" Jiang Lan withdrew his gaze from Xiao Teng and asked with interest.
Xiao Teng's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. His face was indeed different from the tall and burly King Zhenbei.
He had also asked the King of Zhenbei, and the response he got was that he and his mother were more alike. The King of Zhenbei also told him not to think too much about it, as there was no son who didn't look like his father.
"hehe……"
Seeing that Xiao Teng remained unmoved, Jiang Lan smiled and stopped trying to trouble his mentality.
Just a few words like these won't bring you any luck.
When he looked at Xiao Teng just now, he was paying attention to his fate. As he expected, he was indeed the lord of the stars.
Xiao Teng is the reincarnation of the Lord of the Stars from ancient times, but until now, there has been no sign of awakening.
In order to awaken, one must integrate the seven star origins.
In the original plot, his Seven Star Origin was taken away by Xie Jianjia, and later the protagonist Lin Fan helped him to take it back, helping him to condense the more precious Seven Star Lord Fate, greatly increasing his strength. He became a great general under the protagonist Lin Fan.
Jiang Lan looked down upon the fate of the Lord of the Seven Stars. What he cared about was Xiao Teng's true identity and the rich aura that made him so enviable.
"Miss Xie, are you still used to staying here?"
"If you are not used to it, I can take you away from here. I have asked people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to prepare a bathtub, and I am just waiting for Miss Xie's nod." Jiang Lan looked at Xie Jianjia in prison and smiled leisurely.
“…”
Xie Jianjia didn't expect Jiang Lan to appear here. Upon hearing this, she just glanced at him without saying anything.
"Jiang Lan, you little thief, just give up. Even if my Xie family is torn to pieces, I would never help you." Xie Qing said angrily with cold eyes.
"I admire the integrity of Yushi Xie Qing, but you seem to have made a mistake now."
"I was asking Miss Xie, not you." Jiang Lan just glanced at him casually.
Xiao Teng looked at Jiang Lan coldly, his fists clenched. He couldn't stand his arrogant attitude.
"Mr. Jiang, please go back." Xie Jianjia also spoke at this time, her tone was cold and calm.
"Miss Xie, why are you in such a hurry to refuse? You might as well think about it more. Even if you don't care about yourself, the Xie family has thousands of people. Don't you care about them?"
"You are the one who can save the fate of thousands of people in the Xie family. I think this deal is a good deal."
"Besides, I won't do anything to you. I'll just invite you into my house for a chat. At most three days, I'll let you go. After three days, your Xie family will still be the original Xie family, and you'll still enjoy the original wealth and splendor."
"What do you think? After all, the Xie family has fallen to this point because of you. I'm sure you feel guilty."
Jiang Lan was still smiling leisurely, looking at Xie Jianjia through the black iron fence, but there was an inexplicable sense of meaning in his words.
“…”
Xie Jianjia looked at him blankly, as if she was lost in thought because of his words.
Xiao Teng suddenly shouted angrily, "Shut up, you evil thief..."
He knew Xie Jianjia's character. Seeing that the Xie family was thrown into prison because of her, she must be feeling extremely guilty and remorseful.
If there was a way to help the Xie family clear their grievances and give them justice, she would definitely be willing to do it.
But she knew very well that the entire Xie family had ended up in such a situation because they were framed and slandered by the Prime Minister.
If they agreed to Jiang Lan so easily, wouldn't all the persistence and efforts of the Xie family go to waste? He also didn't want to see Xie Jianjia do something that went against her heart.
"Jianjia, don't listen to this evil villain's lies. Once you enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you still think you can get out safely?"
"Impossible..."
Xie Qing and Xie Yunshuang were also furious at Jiang Lan's words. They shouted angrily, asking Xie Jianjia not to compromise and that the Xie family would not let a woman like her risk her life to save them.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan became more and more interested. The entire Xie family was under the control of Xie Jianjia.
If it was the Su family where Su Qinghan was, they would have used all sorts of tricks to get her to agree, tsk tsk...
At this time, Xie Jianjia seemed to be in a state of confusion and silence.
"Jianjia, you must not believe the words of this evil villain..."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Teng became a little anxious and hurriedly spoke to Xie Jianjia in prison.
Xie Jianjia glanced at him, as if she wanted to say something.
Jiang Lan frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy, and looked at Xiao Teng and said, "Xiao Teng, what do you mean?"
"This young master is discussing this with Miss Xie, why do you have to interfere?"
"Are you trying to stop Miss Xie from saving the Xie family? I will only let her stay in the mansion for three days, and after three days, I will let her leave on her own."
"She will still be your fiancée at that time, and I will not interfere with your engagement or anything like that."
"Could it be that after three days, you no longer like Miss Xie? Are you unwilling to accept her?"
"you……"
Hearing this, Xiao Teng's face turned pale, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and murderous intent and anger surged in his body.
He wished he could take action and make Jiang Lan pay a heavy price for his words.
After three days, he would let Xie Jianjia go. Would she still be his fiancée? What would happen during these three days? Anyone with a normal mind could figure it out.
I'm afraid that by that time, the prairie on his head will have turned glowing green.
And what did Jiang Lan think of Xie Jianjia? After using her for three days, he returned her to him? "If you don't accept it, then it's fine. After three days, you can be more tactful and cancel the engagement with Miss Xie. Maybe it will be more decent..." Jiang Lan said casually.
"You evil villain, you are really going too far, I can't stand it anymore..."
Xiao Teng was so angry that his face turned ashen, his body was filled with spiritual energy fluctuations, and his fists were covered with rosy clouds. He was about to teach Jiang Lan a lesson.
"Brother Xiao Teng, stop it now."
"This is the Heavenly Guardian..."
Seeing this, Xie Jianjia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted out and tried to stop him.
Hearing this, Xiao Teng gritted his teeth, retracted his fist, and forced himself to suppress his anger, but his face turned extremely blue with rage.
After all, he was still a young man in his early twenties. Even though he was good at cultivating his Qi on weekdays, how could he bear such humiliation from Jiang Lan, especially in front of his sweetheart?
But he wasn't impulsive.
If he took action in the Tianjian Division, not only would he trigger the iron law of Daxia, but he would also be considered to be attempting a prison break. The consequences would be something he could not bear now.
Jiang Lan clicked his tongue, seeming to be a little disappointed that Xiao Teng didn't take action.
"Mr. Jiang, there is no need to say more. Jianjia is not a fickle person. She has decided to be with Brother Xiao Teng in this life and will definitely not do anything to let him down."
"Jianjia will figure out the Xie family's affairs herself, so Mr. Jiang, don't worry about it."
Xie Jianjia also said this at this time, her tone was still cold, but it seemed to contain some more anger and disgust.
Hearing this, Xiao Teng's expression suddenly changed and became much better looking, because Xie Jianjia's words made him feel moved.
Hearing her say in person that she only recognized him in this life, he felt that everything he had done in the past few days was worth it.
Even if he was willing to go through fire and water for her, so what? "If that's the case, then I won't persuade Miss Xie."
"However, the day after tomorrow morning, Miss Xie's cultivation will be abolished. When that time comes, you will become a cripple, and the Immortal Phoenix Blood in your body will be wasted."
"I have a True Turtle Breathing Pill here. After you take it, you can hide it from the people in the Immortal Suppression Division."
"I hope you can keep that drop of Immortal Phoenix Blood for me. I will come and get it myself when the time comes."
Jiang Lan smiled indifferently, reached into his arms, took out a white jade bottle, and placed it on the open space outside Xie Jianjia's black iron fence. She only needed to stretch out her hand to get it.
The Heavenly Supervisory Department is responsible for detaining and guarding them, abolishing their cultivation, and demoting them to commoners, while the Immortal Suppression Department will handle it.
Jiang Lan knew Xie Jianjia very well, and knew her true origins, so he knew very well that what she valued most now was her cultivation strength.
This was also what she was most worried about. It would be hard to hide it in front of the Immortal Suppression Division...
As for this Huanzhen Guixi Pill, it was actually obtained by Jiang Lan in the cave of Zhenjun Zixia.
At that time, he didn't know the specific effects of those elixirs, so he used his spiritual consciousness to record many aspects such as appearance, color, smell, etc., and used a communication token to ask Xiao Yingyue who had returned to Medicine King Valley.
A few days later, Xiao Yingyue informed him of all the information she had found.
Jiang Lan asked his father to take action against the Xie family in advance because he had planned for this day.
