Chapter 202 Fa Miaoyin’s ambitions, could it be that she has a crush on me?
The arrangements in the Goddess Palace were very thorough. Not only did they vacate the palace that the Palace Master had previously used for her retreat for Jiang Lan, they also specially selected several disciples with excellent looks and temperament, who could be considered fairies in the outside world, to serve her.
Several disciples had their faces covered with a thin layer of powder, their faces were fair and white, their eyes were shy and timid, and seemed to be shining with water.
Her slender and graceful figure is looming in a long gauze dress as thin as mist, her hair is casually tied up, revealing her slender, white neck.
In the bathtub made of white jade, mist was rising and flower petals were falling. Jiang Lan squinted his eyes slightly in satisfaction and let several pairs of small hands knead his shoulders.
Apart from anything else, if the looks of these disciples of the Goddess Palace were taken to the Yuxianfang in the outside world, I wonder how many young talents would be attracted to spend a fortune just to make them smile.
With his current status and position, replacing these disciples with elders of the Goddess Palace is just a matter of a word.
Soon, Jiang Lan heard light footsteps coming from outside the hall, accompanied by bursts of pleasant fragrance.
Several disciples around him paused, then quickly stood up and saluted.
"You all go down." The figure approaching spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Lan did not open his eyes, but continued to squinted his eyes leisurely, half lying in the bathtub with a lazy posture.
Ripples soon appeared on the surface of the pool, and then a graceful figure lightly entered the water, came to his side, and imitated the movements of the disciples just now, kneading him gently.
Jiang Lan said nothing.
The figure did not speak either.
After a moment, he seemed a little lazy and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"You guys in the Goddess Palace are quite interesting. I thought that you and your master were very respectful to each other, but I didn't expect that you were so scheming behind the scenes..."
The person who came was Fa Miaoyin.
She was not surprised at all when she heard this, and said honestly, "Young Master, don't be fooled by the fact that our Master seems to be taciturn and aloof. She is actually very cunning. Over the years, she has played many tricks on the former Palace Master Lou Long. Several of Lou Long's disciples have been persecuted by her..."
"She accepted me as her disciple, not necessarily out of true good for me, but because she values the Fa family behind me."
After experiencing the incident at the Goddess Palace, the way she addressed Jiang Lan had changed. When Fa Wu Ji from the Fa family sent her to Jiang Lan a few days ago, she still only called him "Holy Son Jiang Lan."
Now that she calls him "Young Master", it can be seen that some of her thoughts have changed.
Especially today, I followed my master Ji Xuanxin and heard her conversation with Jiang Lan. In the end, I even vaguely guessed what Ji Xuanxin was thinking.
Jiang Lan was amused when he heard this, and said, "Before you said this, weren't you worried that your master would find out? I don't know whether your master is very cunning, but I know that you are indeed very cunning."
"If you don't have a little more wisdom, you won't be able to survive in this world." Fa Miaoyin sighed, a layer of faint sadness seemed to cover her brows, and she leaned over gently.
Jiang Lan said disapprovingly, "Just tell me why you're here."
Seeing that he was not buying it, Fa Miaoyin had to change her approach and whispered, "Young Master, you also know that I have the Origin of Yaoguang..."
"So what if you know?" Jiang Lan was interested.
"The Yaoguang Fairy Jade of the Goddess Palace is actually a companion creature of the first generation of Yaoguang Master, and is most compatible with the origin of Yaoguang..." Fa Miaoyin's breath was as sweet as orchid and as quiet as musk, and she bit gently in his ear.
When she said this, she couldn't hide the desire in her eyes.
"You want me to help you get the Yaoguang Fairy Jade?" Jiang Lan asked knowingly.
Fa Miaoyin's eyes sparkled. She turned her head to look at him and then hummed softly.
"The Yaoguang Fairy Jade is regarded as a treasure by the Goddess Palace. No matter how shameless I am, I can't ask the Goddess Palace to hand it over. What's more, if I help you, it will not benefit me in any way. Instead, it will attract the hatred of the Goddess Palace." Jiang Lan seemed to laugh and shook his head.
Fa Miaoyin bit her lip and whispered, "I am already yours. If I get the Yaoguang Fairy Jade, it will be yours. Even if it does not bring you any immediate benefit now, in the long run, it will definitely be a win-win."
"Besides, the Goddess Palace may not be able to take the Yaoguang Immortal Jade out of Xiao Teng's body."
"My spies in the imperial capital have secretly gone to the Imperial Master's Mansion to investigate. Ge Qixing has already left the Imperial Master's Mansion and is likely on his way to the Goddess Palace."
“It is impossible for him to allow the Goddess Palace to take the Yaoguang Immortal Jade from Xiao Teng’s body. With the current strength of the Goddess Palace, it may not be a match for Ge Qixing…”
"Lou Long gave all the treasures he obtained from the Ancient Star Sect to Ge Qixing. Ge Qixing's cultivation was originally unfathomable. Even the former Palace Master was no match for him. Now he will be even more terrifying."
After some analysis, she believed that Ge Qixing would not only come, but might even break into the Goddess Palace.
Anyway, the Goddess Palace won't be able to get the Yaoguang Fairy Jade and will be taken away by Ge Qixing, so I'm not thinking of a way to help her.
After hearing what Fa Miaoyin said, Jiang Lan couldn't help but look up to her in his heart. To say that she was a vase was not the case. At this time, she still had the intention of plotting against the Yaoguang Fairy Jade and instigated him to help.
"Why are you so sure that Ge Qixing will force his way in? What you can think of, can't the Goddess Palace think of it? How could they not make preparations? How could Ge Qixing not think of it?" He smiled without commenting.
“No one is immune to this, as caring too much will lead to confusion. Ge Qixing’s wife and son are in the hands of the Goddess Palace. No matter how wise and resourceful he is, he will lose his composure at this moment…” Fa Miaoyin looked serious and determined.
Jiang Lan nodded. He was actually also thinking about how to remove the Yaoguang Fairy Jade from Xiao Teng's body.
Although this item is of no great use to him at present, it is after all something of the supreme treasure level. If the first Lord of Yaoguang were still alive, and the Yaoguang Fairy Jade under his control was fully revived, it would be able to unleash power comparable to that of a saint.
The power of the supreme treasure is far greater than any other spiritual treasure.
The only thing on Xiao Teng's body that might pose a threat to him was the fully revived Yaoguang Fairy Jade.
If the Goddess Palace can separate it from Xiao Teng, it will be a good thing for him in the future. With Ji Xuanxin, who is temporarily called a chess piece, the Goddess Palace will basically follow his lead in the future, and the Yaoguang Fairy Jade will be in his pocket.
But the problem lies in what Fa Miaoyin said just now. It is very likely that the Goddess Palace cannot take the Yaoguang Fairy Jade from Xiao Teng.
Three days were enough time for Ge Qixing to turn the Goddess Palace upside down.
Without the appearance of a saint, basically no one can easily suppress Ge Qixing. Even if his father Jiang Lintian takes action, it is highly unlikely that he will be able to do so.
"When we were in the imperial capital that day, I wanted you to help me capture Xiao Teng. It was actually for this reason. As long as we capture him, I will have a way to extract the Yaoguang Fairy Jade from him." Fa Miaoyin said at this time.
Her method was even faster than the so-called formation of the Goddess Palace. The Goddess Palace needed three days, but she only needed one and a half days.
Jiang Lan was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he fell into deep thought.
"Young Master, you are the only one who can help me now..." Fa Miaoyin blinked and stared at him closely, her eyes full of desire and expectation.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, her pretty face flushed slightly, and her head, which had originally appeared in the bathtub, suddenly sank.
"hiss……"
Jiang Lan's thoughts were instantly interrupted by her.
At the same time, in the forbidden area at the back mountain of the Goddess Palace, there was a crystal pool covering an area of several dozen feet.
Several elders escorted Xiao Teng to this place. The pond was crystal clear and filled with mist, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
On one side of the pond mouth, there is an ancient peach tree, but it has no fruit. Instead, it is a bit dry and its branches and leaves are sparse.
Although Xiao Teng was unconscious at this time, the space between his eyebrows was still shining, like an ancient star, spinning and floating in the sky, as if it was about to rush out at any time.
"First, release his blood. Let his blood activate the holy spring..."
Zhuang Feihua spoke and directed several elders to cut a wound on the wrist of the unconscious Xiao Teng, allowing the blood to flow out and soak into the pool.
Soon, the crystal clear pool water changed, and it seemed that some kind of array pattern was activated at the bottom.
The originally dark night sky, the dark clouds retreated, and suddenly there were wisps of starlight falling, like a magnificent galaxy, descending from the sky, or like white jade settling down, with fine snow falling, magnificent and stunning.
All the elders of the Goddess Palace were stunned.
All the monks outside the gate of the Goddess Palace were stunned and speechless by the magnificent sight. The vast starlight gathered together, bright and white.
Everyone felt a powerful star force descending. In the distant sky, many stars were shining and undergoing amazing changes.
Somewhere in the deep and vast outer realm, on a dry and dead star, there was a sudden violent earthquake. A strong and burly figure suddenly rushed out from the ground. A terrifying huge crack instantly spread for thousands of miles. The scene was shocking.
His hair was flying in all directions, and his body seemed to be nourished and tempered by endless starlight, exuding a surging breath like a furnace.
"The starlight is sinking, and the stars are reviving. This is the aura of the Yaoguang Immortal Jade..."
"The treasure left behind by the ancient Xing Sect will also be revealed."
The figure's eyes were like little suns, emitting two terrifying rays of divine light that pierced through the void in an instant.
He looked into the deep, dark universe, trying to capture the source of this breath, and then he stared at a certain place, and his breathing became hot.
…
Today, the Goddess Palace has become the focus of attention from all parties.
Three powerful figures of the eighth realm from Taiyi Sect showed up in person and guarded outside the mountain gate of the Goddess Palace, causing all the villains to concentrate their thoughts and wait quietly for the Goddess Palace to hand over Xiao Teng in three days.
The amazing sight of the bright stars constantly gathering together has attracted many people to discuss and speculate.
The next day, even in broad daylight, one could see the brilliant light shining from the mountain behind the Goddess Palace.
Many people are speculating about the origin of this starlight and whether it is related to the origin of Tianxuan.
It was on this day that news came from Dongyuan Prefecture that there were suspected traces of a Seven Star Origin inheritor.
The inheritor of the Seven Stars Origin who appeared this time was Kaiyang Star among the Seven Stars. This news caused a great sensation as soon as it came out.
Unfortunately, Dongyuan Prefecture is too far away from Zhongtian Prefecture. Without a teleportation array, even if a cultivator of the seventh realm wanted to get there, it would take at least several months.
Many cultivators in Zhongyuan Province felt helpless, but some major sects began to take action.
In Dongyuan Prefecture, there was undoubtedly another round of bloody storm. The Zhenwu Kingdom where Zhou Zhenwu was located was furious because of Zhou Zhenwu's death.
Some cultivators heard that the Zhenwu Kingdom was gathering strength and wanted to retaliate, but they had no way of telling whether the news was true or not.
In Nanmozhou, some cultivators inquired around and finally found out the location of Chen Sect. Upon hearing the news, many immortal sects followed the example of the Goddess Palace and began to gather in large numbers, planning to oppress and force Jiang Yuheng, the inheritor of Yuheng's origin, to show up and hand over Yuheng's origin.
However, this move not only failed to produce any effect, but also caused dissatisfaction among the Chen Sect.
Many elders showed up and beat up the immortal sects that came to force and offend, and they all left with injuries.
Some people later said frankly that although the Chen Sect was established not long ago, it has a deep foundation. There are elders with the cultivation level of the eighth realm in charge of the sect, and it should not be provoked easily.
The Yuheng origin moved people's hearts, and Chen Zong did not dare to offend the offending immortal sect too much. Then it stated that Jiang Yuheng was not in Chen Zong and his whereabouts were unknown. Now the sect could not contact him. If they could contact him, they would definitely let him hand over the Yuheng origin...
The truth of this statement is unknown, but the strength of the Chen Sect makes many cultivators afraid of it. Without a strong leader, no one dares to easily offend them.
So we can only wait until the matter at the Goddess Palace is settled and let Taiyi Sect take the lead.
That night, in the dungeon of the Goddess Palace where Xiao Teng, Lou Xinyu and others were previously imprisoned.
There seemed to be a breeze blowing through the corridor, and the oil lamps lit on both sides also swayed. Lou Xinyu and others who were meditating in the dungeon fell limply to the ground before they could react.
At the same time, the disciples who were in charge of guarding fell to the ground one after another and passed out.
With a creaking sound, the lock of the dungeon was opened. Ye Shiyan, the only awake person in the dungeon, opened his eyes and looked coldly at the figure who walked in. He said nothing and still maintained the meditation posture.
Jiang Lan came up to her and tried to reach out to pull her up, but Ye Shiyan coldly avoided him.
He was not surprised and remained patient, asking, "Why? Are you angry?"
Ye Shiyan ignored him and closed his eyes, as if out of sight, out of mind.
Jiang Lan sighed and said, "Why are you ignoring me? You're making me very tired."
"Jiang Lan, you just remembered me now?"
Hearing this, Ye Shiyan opened his eyes.
Her voice was cold. She reached out and grabbed a bunch of dry straw behind her and threw it at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan didn't dodge or avoid, letting the straw hit him. Then he bent down, got close to her face, and said, "I know you're angry now. You've been hurt a lot along the way. If you want to vent, just do it. I won't fight back."
Ye Shiyan said coldly, "It's not worth it. It's not worth it to dirty my hands. You are looking for me now, so you must have some instructions for me."
Jiang Lan was indeed right about what she said. Of course, from the very beginning, he asked Ye Shiyan to follow Xiao Teng in order to control Xiao Teng's movements and take advantage of his luck.
Apart from that, Ye Shiyan actually has no effect on him.
As the boss behind the scenes, he felt that he had treated Ye Shiyan with all his heart. After all, she wanted to plant a slave mark on him and make him submit to her at the beginning. This kind of hatred was actually no different from a life-and-death feud.
"Why do you have such a big grudge against me? I gave you the magic crystals you wanted, information about the demon clan, and various magic weapons. You did things for me, and it seems that I have never treated you unfairly..." He sighed slightly.
Then he stretched out his hand, and a tooth as crystal as black jade and as big as a baby's arm appeared. It was shrouded in wisps of purple mist, which was very deep and filled with an astonishing demonic aura.
If Jiang Lan hadn't used a secret technique to suppress most of the evil spirits in it, the moment he took out this thing, the place would have been filled with monstrous evil spirits.
Ye Shiyan was a connoisseur of good things. He recognized at a glance that this tooth had an extraordinary origin and contained extremely amazing energy.
She was surprised, but her deep resentment and hatred towards Jiang Lan still prompted her to look away, as if she didn't want to take any more looks.
"This is the tooth of the demon god. I said I would not treat you unfairly. This thing should be more than enough to make up for the injuries you have suffered recently." Jiang Lan said.
Ye Shiyan still said coldly, "I don't need it."
Jiang Lan sighed, then laughed, "You're still pretty stubborn, are you angry and blaming me for not caring about you? I know your abilities and strengths, and these troubles are nothing but trivial matters to you. Because I trust you too much, I overlooked the grievances in your heart."
"I forgot about the demon women. They are also women..."
“Who needs your attention?”
Ye Shiyan's tense and cold expression suddenly broke out and she interrupted him angrily.
Did he say this as if he was begging for his concern? "Ye Shiyan, it's probably been almost a year since we last met. Logically speaking, I forced you to do all kinds of things, so you should hate me."
"But the way you look now makes me doubt, could it be that you have a crush on me?" Jiang Lan looked at her with interest.
Ye Shiyan was caught off guard by his question.
Yes, shouldn't I hate him? How could I still have a good impression of him? "You think too much, I would have a good impression of you? It's ridiculous."
"No, then why are you mad at me?"
"I'm not angry..."
Ye Shiyan said this subconsciously, and looking at Jiang Lan's smiling face right in front of him, he realized that he had fallen into his trap.
Even she didn't know how to face Jiang Lan at this moment.
If she admitted that she was angry, wouldn't that be a response to what he had just said, that she had a crush on him? How could she possibly admit such a thing?
"This is the last thing. When this is over, you can come back to me and don't have to suffer with Xiao Teng anymore."
Seeing her tense and expressionless face, Jiang Lan seemed to laugh silently, then reached out, hugged her in his arms, and said softly.
Ye Shiyan wanted to struggle, but her cultivation was sealed and she couldn't break free. She could only say in a muffled voice, "Really?"
"Really." Jiang Lan said seriously.
"Don't lie to me."
Ye Shiyan bit his shoulder hard, as if wanting to leave her mark.
