Chapter 132 I don't believe you are just empty-eyed. Young Master Jiang has great luck and is a man of destiny.
On the edge of the green lake, the cold fog was everywhere. The many spiritual objects in the Sumeru bag were reflected in the precious light, which was extremely gorgeous and dazzling.
There they are piled up like mountains, shining brightly.
There was mist swirling and colorful clouds rising.
Many young geniuses in the surrounding mountains were watching all this in shock and surprise.
When hearing the conversation between Jiang Lan and the girl in white, many people had an incredible feeling of unreality.
Because they felt... that the attitude of this girl in white, whose strength was so terrifying that it made people despair, towards Jiang Lan seemed a little strange, with an indescribable meaning in it.
Jiang Lan, who used to be very easy-going and unrestrained, now looked strangely serious and calm.
This has left many people even more confused, and they are wondering what the relationship between the two is.
Many young nobles, such as Xia Jie, were extremely envious and jealous.
What is so special about Jiang Lan that this girl in white is so fond of him that she even comes to Qianyuan Mansion to accumulate points for him.
But he just doesn't appreciate it. Is it just because of his appearance?
Xiao Teng's fists creaked as he looked at the scene in front of him, with anger, unwillingness and many other emotions welling up in his chest.
He originally thought that his physical condition had awakened and that his body was filled with immense power, which would allow him to reverse the situation. However, who would have thought that the appearance of the girl in white would shatter his fantasy.
By the lake, after Jiang Ruxian finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of her mouth and she looked at Jiang Lan quietly.
She didn't seem to care what Jiang Lan would do.
"If you don't want these, then there's no point in me collecting and accumulating them..."
Seeing that Jiang Lan was still silent, she spoke softly.
"If you really want to help me and not cause me trouble, you shouldn't be here."
Jiang Lan glanced at those spiritual creatures, his tone still casual and calm.
Jiang Ruxian's unexpected intervention was beyond his expectations, but for now he had no choice but to continue.
Nowadays, not many people know about the feud between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Jiang Ruxian, only a few people including Emperor Xia.
Given Queen Xia's personality, she would most likely not take the initiative to provoke Jiang Ruxian, and she would keep this matter a secret.
And according to the character that Jiang Lan had previously established in front of Emperor Xia, it was impossible for him to personally make the hostile relationship between Jiang Ruxian and the Prime Minister's Mansion public.
At this moment, Jiang Ruxian would appear in front of him so openly, most likely because she had anticipated this.
For the sake of Xiangguo Mansion and her, he would not turn against her in front of everyone, nor would he attack her...
Jiang Lan wanted to laugh in his heart. He would indeed not take advantage of Jiang Ruxian, because even though she was willing to do so, the guilt in her heart would gradually subside.
On the contrary, even if he did nothing, Jiang Ruxian would guess what he wanted and take the initiative to help him, just like she did this time.
For example, the position of the leader of Qianyuan Mansion, but it’s just a small matter, Jiang Lan doesn’t need her help.
What he needed to do now was to do as he had said on that rainy night, to take the initiative to sever ties with her, and then occasionally let her know that... he still cared about her in his heart, but had to do so due to many reasons.
Jiang Lan actually didn't want to treat and use Jiang Ruxian in this way, but he didn't know if it was because of the complete fusion of memories.
Every time something involved Jiang Ruxian, he would always feel uncomfortable from the depths of his soul.
Perhaps it was the original memory that brought about the obsession and difficulty in accommodating after knowing the future plot of the original world line.
The original body was never the original body. To be more precise, that should be his original memory.
During this period of time, Jiang Lan has actually accepted the idea that he has awakened the memories of his past life.
Because whether it is the Soul Protection Lock or the Seven-Star Soul Lamp, there has never been any change. If the original soul is occupied and travels through time, then where is the original soul? You must know that his soul has never changed.
Whether it was when the "heart-eating disease" broke out in Yuyi City, or when he set up a trap to kill the original protagonist Lin Fan and his heart was pierced by a sword, he could face the horrific pain without changing his expression. This kind of strong willpower cannot be possessed and explained by replacing a person's body.
However, at present, Jiang Lan still cannot figure out where those related plot memories came from.
…
The lakeside is filled with spiritual energy, with orchids and fairy flowers blooming in the air, and ancient medicines laid out in bundles, which is quite astonishing.
Many young people around looked at those spiritual objects from afar, and no one dared to step forward, even though they knew that it was an astonishing amount of points.
Xia Jie, Chong Xiuyuan and other young nobles had fiery eyes, but they were suppressing themselves and did not dare to act recklessly.
Jiang Lan naturally did not let Ao Xu, Luo Ying and others take away the Sumeru bag left by Jiang Ruxian.
He didn't say much to Jiang Ruxian, nor did he reveal any information about their relationship. His attitude was casual and humble, yet with the same aloofness and naturalness he had shown outside the ruined temple that day.
It's like facing a stranger who you know but have no connection with.
Then, he looked at Xiao Teng who was being supported by his men not far away, waved his hand, and Ao Xu and others immediately stepped forward and surrounded them.
Jiang Ruxian stared in amazement as Jiang Lan and his men walked past him. The spiritual objects they collected along the way piled up into a mountain, but he didn't even look at them again.
She had already guessed and anticipated Jiang Lan's current attitude, so she was not actually surprised... although she had some expectations, what if he would accept it.
She turned around and looked at Jiang Lan's back, silent.
"The more you try to avoid me, the more it shows that you are not confident enough..."
"If you really let it go and have no self in your heart, why don't you dare to really open your eyes and look at me."
"If you really open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty."
Jiang Ruxian noticed that Jiang Lan had been holding Li Mengning's hand tightly since she appeared. He didn't hold it early in the morning or late in the evening, but just when she appeared, he held it tightly.
When Xiao Teng's men and followers saw Jiang Lan coming, they rushed up without hesitation. However, it was obvious that they were no match for him. After being surrounded, they were quickly injured one after another and flew out with screams.
Xiao Teng was covered in wounds. Seeing Jiang Lan approaching him, he was very tough and said directly, "Jiang Lan, just give up. I have discarded all the spiritual objects on me. Even if I can't get the position of the leader of Qianyuan Mansion this time, I will not help you."
Jiang Lan had a large number of people, and he knew that he would most likely not be their opponent, so he had already hidden the many treasures and opportunities he had obtained in Qianyuan Mansion on the way back.
“Crack…”
However, just as he finished his words, Jiang Lan signaled his men behind him to break his legs. The severe pain made Xiao Teng's face turn pale in an instant, and beads of cold sweat flowed down his face one after another.
"You are so old, yet you are still so childish and ridiculous."
"You gave up those points, but now the position of the leader of Qianyuan Prefecture is still mine, right?"
"Are you still counting on others?" Jiang Lan looked down at him.
He knew that Xiao Teng still placed his hopes on Ye Ming who was heading to the deepest part of Qianyuan Mansion.
But if it was someone else, Jiang Lan might not be easy to find, but if it was Ye Ming, it would be easy for him to find him.
After all, Ye Ming provided him with a lot of luck. With the help of the luck fruit, Jiang Lan could easily find his direction.
It was almost impossible for Xiao Teng to rely on Ye Ming.
Xiao Teng endured the severe pain all over his body, clenched his teeth and said nothing.
He was indeed counting on "Zhang Yuan". Now the end of Qianyuan Mansion was approaching very soon. As long as he could drag it out until the end, "Zhang Yuan" might still be able to overtake.
It’s a pity that he didn’t have time to tell "Zhang Yuan" where the treasures were hidden. On the way back, Xiao Teng actually had this idea, but then he thought, what if he could successfully rescue Meng Mo and others and keep them safe and sound.
Wouldn't that mean that he would just give away those treasures for nothing? So he decided to judge based on the situation...
But now, he has no control over this.
At this moment, an astonishing whistling and roaring sound suddenly sounded in the distant sky.
It was an incomparably gorgeous and stunning divine rainbow, surrounded by what seemed to be dense colorful mist, and also accompanied by chaotic haze.
There seemed to be something wrapped in it, rushing up into the sky from the deepest part of Qianyuan Mansion, and then falling towards this place quickly. The void became even more blurred and cracked, as if it was cut apart by the majestic aura.
The sudden scene alarmed all the young geniuses here.
Many people didn't know what it was, but they could vaguely guess its extraordinary mystery. They rushed over as soon as they reacted and tried to intercept it.
In an instant, a series of divine rainbow figures quickly rose into the sky and used various means to try to intercept the rainbow light.
But it was obvious that many young people underestimated the substance surrounded by the glowing light. The moment they approached it, they were knocked away by the powerful and terrifying force, and then flew backwards violently, spitting blood from their mouths, and countless ribs were broken.
In the central part of the mass of matter, one seemed to be able to see a thick, bright yellow breath lingering. It was that breath that made the void blurry and seemed to be collapsing.
"Someone is chasing us."
"That is..."
"The Yijian Palace disciple who became famous at the auction that day?"
At this time, someone also noticed a figure chasing closely behind the mysterious substance.
It was unknown how long the figure had been chasing, rushing out from the deepest part of Qianyuan Mansion, and even after arriving here, it still did not give up.
"How could it be him?"
Many people quickly recognized it and were extremely surprised and shocked.
"Brother Zhang Yuan?"
Xiao Teng also noticed this scene. He didn't care about the severe pain all over his body and his face was full of shock.
"Ye Ming? This guy is really lucky to have encountered such a good fortune?"
"But why do I feel like he can't be subdued?"
Jiang Lan, who was originally planning to use the Fruit of Luck to sense Ye Ming's whereabouts, did not expect such a scene to appear. He looked over and narrowed his eyes.
However, he didn't know if it was his illusion. The mass of matter surrounded by the glow seemed to be falling towards where he was?
No, it wasn't coming towards him.
It should be Jiang Ruxian behind him.
Jiang Lan turned his head to look over, only to see Jiang Ruxian looking at him with a completely unaware look.
The astonishing whistling sound above the sky attracted the attention of everyone in the surrounding mountains, but no one seemed to be able to alarm her.
Noticing Jiang Lan looking at her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
Jiang Lan quickly turned his head back and withdrew his gaze. Jiang Ruxian then blinked, as if she didn't know the cause of all this.
However, she was muttering in her heart, "The Tongtian Monument..."
A treasure that was born in Qianyuan Mansion in the previous life was obtained by her later. It has great power to detain, seal, and destroy.
It records the corresponding magical skills, which include four styles in total, but each style can evolve into hundreds of mysterious skills and contains terrifying power.
She has already mastered it and can manipulate it at will.
This time he entered Qianyuan Mansion, ostensibly to help Jiang Lan gain the top spot, but in reality he was letting the Tongtian Monument come out ahead of time and recognize him as the master.
To outsiders, this was just a scene of a spirit choosing its own master, and they would not think too much about it...
As for whether Jiang Lan would know, Jiang Ruxian didn't care, as long as she could help him.
His current strength is indeed too weak. Whether it is out of self-esteem or the grudges between the two of them, he certainly does not want to come forward to protect him.
So the best way to protect him is to help him become stronger.
…
"Who is this girl in white? Why does she look like she has known Jiang Lan for a long time?"
"Besides, why does Jiang Lan's attitude towards her seem a little strange..."
"This dandy second-generation rich kid's behavior is a bit hard to get used to."
Outside, on the central square, there was a loud uproar.
Many immortal elders and princes and nobles were also extremely surprised. They thought they were going to watch a good show, but in the end they found that things were going completely opposite to what they had expected.
The girl in white actually came to help Jiang Lan, and Jiang Lan actually looked cold and a little disgusted...
What happened in this world? "Could it be related to the secret that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that year..."
"The origin of this girl in white is probably not simple."
Only Zhenbei King Xiao He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became uncertain.
There were actually some rumors about this matter in the imperial capital, but not many people dared to really understand it in depth.
For some reasons, he got some information during his conversation with the national teacher Ge Qixing.
Just seeing Jiang Lan humiliating Xiao Teng like this and even sending people to break his legs made him even more furious. He stood up directly from the platform, and his face with a hideous scar showed even more terrifying murderous aura.
Xiao Teng's injuries could naturally recover afterwards, but it was very embarrassing in front of so many ministers and nobles.
In the chariot, Emperor Xia watched with great interest. He was somewhat surprised that Jiang Ruxian was interested in helping Jiang Lan.
After all, she was one of the few people who witnessed the "grudge" between Jiang Ruxian and him.
But... Jiang Lan's attitude towards Jiang Ruxian made her very interested.
"You have such a strong sister who is willing to do anything for you, but you don't take advantage of her and don't appreciate her..."
"What are you thinking? Are you doing this on purpose? Or do you really not want to be involved with her anymore?"
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Lan's handsome face, which made her feel a little strange.
That day in Yuxianfang, when she mentioned his sister to Jiang Lan, his expression was so calm and without any ripples, and he said that the two of them no longer had any relationship.
At that time, she thought that Jiang Lan was just talking casually, but now it seems... he was telling the truth.
But was it for the sake of so-called self-esteem, or simply because he didn't want to take advantage of his sister?
Judging from Jiang Ruxian's attitude towards him, she would agree without hesitation to whatever he wanted her to do.
"This is?"
But soon, the expression on Emperor Xia's face, which was full of interest, was suddenly replaced by astonishment.
All the ministers on the platform, as well as the elders of the immortal sects, also exclaimed in surprise.
Many people even stood up in disbelief, staring at the astonishing sight deep in Qianyuan Mansion.
I saw a ball of mysterious substance with a bright yellow scent flying out from the deepest part, as if wrapped in thick chaotic fog, hazy and gorgeous.
Even if it is just the scene reflected through the round mirror, one can still feel the indescribable mystery and surging energy.
"That breath..."
"It's the Xuanhuang Mother Qi."
"How is that possible?"
Deep inside the Observatory, the Imperial Master Ge Qixing stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with golden light, his whole body surging with an aura as terrifying as the vast ocean, his heart unable to calm down.
And the next moment, everyone exclaimed and looked at them in disbelief.
That ball of mysterious substance fell from the sky, landing straight towards the snow-white clothes on the edge of the green lake, instantly covering it.
Everyone could even clearly see the look of astonishment and surprise on that face, as if he himself had no idea what was going on.
The entire central square of the palace became dead silent until one could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, a voice full of surprise and shock was heard.
"Why did you choose him?"
"The divine object has a spirit and chooses the person with whom it is destined to be, but why did it choose him..."
Many elders from the immortal sects could hardly believe their eyes.
Emperor Xia could not hide his surprise and shock on his face. He even lifted the curtain of the chariot, stepped out, and his eyes fell on the round mirror.
But soon, a vast and astonishingly rich glow suddenly came from there, covering the sky and the earth, instantly covering the entire round mirror, making it extremely blurry.
No one, including Emperor Xia, could clearly see what was happening.
There was a dead silence around the platform. Xiao He, the King of Zhenbei, stood up and stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Many princes, nobles and ministers were also shocked. Who would have believed it if they had not seen it with their own eyes?
Deep in Qianyuan Mansion, an extremely mysterious ancient object suddenly flew out, then fell from the sky and landed on Jiang Lan.
This is just like a record in a biographical novel.
Why did the mysterious substance wrapped in mist choose him? Was it really destined by God?
“I heard that there was an ancient stone wall with the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills in the cave of True Lord Zixia. The inheritance in it also recognized Jiang Lan, but due to an accident, when the inheritance was born, it was snatched away by other geniuses…”
"This kind of thing has probably happened more than once or twice. The young master of the Xiangguo Mansion has great fortune."
"He is obviously just an ignorant and uneducated second-generation rich kid. How could he deserve the favor of God?"
Many elders of the immortal sects thought of the many rumors about Jiang Lan and felt very unwilling.
When they were in the cave of True Lord Zixia, the younger generation of the immortal sect behind them concealed their aura and snatched that opportunity, so they had a deep impression of this incident.
Combined with what happened this time in Qianyuan Mansion in full view of everyone.
It's hard not to make people think of this.
"The young master of the Xiangguo Mansion has great luck and is a man of destiny."
"He is blessed by heaven, has great fortune, and is blessed with endless blessings. According to ancient records, such a person, as long as he does not die, can bear the destiny and dominate the universe..."
The noisy and vibrating sounds echoed throughout the surrounding platforms. Even Emperor Xia felt uneasy and found it hard to accept.
Could it be that Jiang Lan was even more fortunate than her, the true emperor? Could it be that she was the fake emperor? The sensation and shock in Qianyuan Mansion at this moment was far more shocking than that in the outside world.
The first to be hit was Ye Ming, who had been chasing the Tongtian Monument for a long time.
He watched with his own eyes as the Tongtian Stele flew away from his sight, and then watched it break through the void, fly away all the way, and then fall from the sky, landing directly on a person... whom he hated to the core and never wanted to see again.
"Jiang Lan..."
The moment he saw the stele falling towards Jiang Lan and disappearing from his body, Ye Ming's eyes suddenly turned red and his voice roared. He wished he could roar to the sky to vent the endless anger and unwillingness in his heart.
Why? Why did Tongtianbei choose Jiang Lan?
When he was in the secret realm of True Lord Zixia, he was chosen to inherit the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills? How could he be so worthy?
At this moment, Ye Ming was so angry that he felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat, and blood seemed to be gushing out.
Even though the old ghost kept comforting and persuading him in his mind, it was of no avail. His eyes turned red and he wished he could rush forward and ask Jiang Lan to hand over his Tongtian Tablet.
This was supposed to be his chance.
Xiao Teng, Xia Jie and many other young people had the same feeling as Ye Ming at this moment.
The shock and disbelief in their hearts could not be expressed in words.
There is nothing more shocking and incredible than seeing with your own eyes a strange object covered in rosy clouds falling from the sky and landing on Jiang Lan.
What followed was a deep sense of confusion and inability to accept.
"How is it possible..." Xiao Teng was stunned. The severe pain brought by his broken legs could no longer describe his emotions at the moment.
"Brother Xiao..."
Ye Ming landed from a distance and rushed towards Xiao Teng. His reason made him suppress the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
However, as he walked over, a terrible aura of danger instantly descended.
Ye Ming's scalp felt numb and he got goose bumps all over his body.
He looked in the direction of the terrible and dangerous aura.
He saw a pair of beautiful, cold and indifferent eyes, looking at him from a distance.
At this moment, all the anger and murderous intent in Ye Ming's heart disappeared.
He seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss in an instant. The terrifying cold air locked and enveloped him. Even the old ghost who had been talking to him suddenly became silent.
It was not until the girl in white withdrew her gaze from him that Ye Ming seemed to come alive.
But he broke out in a cold sweat, and his back was stuck to his clothes.
"What a scary girl, who is she?"
In just a moment, it felt like I had walked through the gates of hell.
This was the first time Ye Ming had encountered this feeling, and an indescribable fear arose in his heart.
"The Tongtian Monument..."
At this time, Jiang Lan no longer had the mind to care about what was happening outside.
After the mist-like substance fell from the sky and enveloped him.
He felt that suddenly, in his spiritual sea, there appeared a piece of something made of unknown material, like a token.
That thing was floating there, looking like gold but not gold, like bronze but not bronze, ancient and time-honored, filled with chaotic mist.
There was also thick, dark yellow mother energy lingering around, and just a wisp of it seemed like it could easily crush a mountain.
There was a faint message coming from it, which made him quickly understand what it was.
But this thing suddenly fell from the sky and recognized him as its master.
Logically speaking, shouldn't this be Ye Ming's fortune? At the same time, a huge amount of luck surged into Jiang Lan's Niwan Palace. The Dao Fruit of Life and the Dao Fruit of Years were undergoing amazing changes and were maturing in the next stage.
Corresponding information and records also appeared in his mind, all related to this Tongtian Monument.
While Jiang Lan was digesting this information unintentionally, he also figured out why this thing came.
He could not find any other explanation except Jiang Ruxian.
This is something beyond the plot he is familiar with. If he knew that there was such a treasure in Qianyuan Mansion, he would definitely find a way to get it no matter what.
Otherwise, if Ye Ming got it for nothing, not only would he lose a lot of luck, but it might also give Ye Ming an extra trump card.
If he knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely intercept it in advance.
It was indeed unexpected that Jiang Ruxian came to help him now.
I think she showed up in Qianyuan Mansion not only to help him win the championship, but also to have more plans for this Tongtian Monument.
Jiang Lan's entire body was enveloped in a hazy light, with mist floating around him and divine aura lingering, making his snow-white clothes look even more otherworldly.
Looking at Jiang Lan, who had his eyes closed, he seemed to be digesting the information from the Tongtian Monument.
Jiang Ruxian, who was not far away, raised a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, looked at him again, and then rode away on the snow-white horse silently without disturbing anyone.
Almost all the young people here looked at Jiang Lan with disbelief and shock, and few people paid attention to her.
Of course, if she wanted to leave, no one would notice.
Ye Ming, Xiao Teng and the others all looked extremely unhappy. There would no longer be any suspense about the position of the leader in this competition for Qianyuan Prefecture.
