Chapter 74: I was so lucky both times, why is it so annoying
? "Ming boy, what happened? Why did you suddenly run away in a hurry?"
"You also failed to rescue the Yaochi Sect disciple?"
"I helped you delay for so long, but I didn't expect that you would be the first to get into trouble this time."
In the rich night.
In an area of low-rise blue brick and tile houses in Anyang City.
Ye Ming restrained all the fluctuations of his breath and changed his appearance at the same time, becoming an ordinary man with a sallow complexion. He tried to lower his breathing as much as possible to make himself less conspicuous.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure that the scary woman hadn't followed him.
This is the slum area of Anyang City. It is very simple, with blue brick and tile houses everywhere, forming a sharp contrast with the brilliant lights and palaces and pavilions shrouded in mist in the distance.
Hearing the old ghost's slightly surprised questioning voice, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and quickly told him his guess.
"Stop talking, it's really a ghost."
"The woman we met on the Bloody Plateau that day is the one who has been chasing us just now..."
"Fortunately, I have practiced the Eight Steps to Cloud Ascending. She seemed unable to locate me and lost me. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to escape."
Ye Ming's face was gloomy, and he felt a little scared when he said this. If he was really detained by that woman, he might not be able to escape safely today, and he would suffer again.
But what frightened and surprised him even more at this moment was Jiang Lan's strength.
This good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid is well-known in the whole of Daxia, indulging in sensual pleasures and leading a dissolute life. Who could have thought that he could be hiding so deeply?
He still remembers clearly the horrific vision that occurred on the Bloody Plateau that day.
"Fortunately, he was hindered by something and couldn't take action, otherwise I would definitely not be able to leave today." Thinking of this, Ye Ming still felt fear and horror.
After hearing what Ye Ming said, Lao Gui was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, "That guy deceives the world with his dandy appearance, but his true strength is actually unfathomable..."
"You are indeed lucky today. If that guy had taken action, you might not have been able to escape."
Ye Ming agreed with this statement and had no dissatisfaction at all.
On the contrary, he was very fortunate and felt that he was lucky both times.
When he encountered Jiang Lan on the Bloody Plateau that day, he seemed to have some physical problems, and he had to use the means of the law. He could not catch up with him and could only watch him escape.
Today, Jiang Lan was in good health and in prime condition. It was because there were so many people in Zuixianju and they were unable to take action due to the situation that he was able to escape safely.
"God bless me." Ye Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He has experienced many life-and-death crises like this, and most of them he escaped death.
But somehow, it seemed as if God was protecting him, and he was always able to escape danger and turn crisis into safety.
"You are really lucky, to have met such a terrifying young being, and yet you were able to escape right under his nose twice." The old ghost laughed at this.
"But now, you are taking the initiative to provoke others. Once Jiang Lan knows your identity, he will definitely not let you go."
"Moreover, the female disciple of Yaochi Sect might be implicated because of you."
Hearing this, Ye Ming felt a little guilty, but still said, "I just sent a message to the girl. I don't think she would be so stupid as to say such a thing."
"Even if I failed to rescue her safely, she would not be ungrateful given my willingness to help her despite offending the Prime Minister's son..."
"Haha, who can tell what's in people's hearts?" The old ghost smiled without commenting, and his vicissitudes of life seemed to be filled with many emotions.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "I am a little worried now, whether Zhu Yun will be implicated, but I also kept a trick at that time, just saying that I am a friend of the future saint of Yao Chi Sect."
"If you don't mention Zhu Yun's name directly, I guess you won't suspect her."
…
The news that the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was assassinated again in Zuixianju soon spread throughout Anyang City.
A few days later, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was assassinated again.
Just like the last time he was assassinated in Yuyi City, Jiangling County, today he was assassinated just after he arrived in Anyang City.
This news naturally caused a great sensation.
All the major families in Anyang City felt their scalps tingling.
After all, Jiang Lan has a special identity and is the only son of the current prime minister. He has been assassinated one after another. It is hard not to wonder if there is some hidden force targeting the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Of course, there were many people who secretly rejoiced and felt extremely happy. They had long been dissatisfied with the second-generation rich who were arrogant and domineering and bullying others.
It’s just a pity that the hero who tried to assassinate Jiang Lan seemed to have failed in the end and had to retreat.
That night, the sealing formation of Anyang City was activated, talisman lights flowed, and a vast aura rose, like a raging wave rolling and hitting the sky.
Everyone could see the light shield above their heads that looked like blue waves. Even someone as powerful as a sixth-level being would find it difficult to break out of it.
The four gates of Anyang City were closed and blocked immediately, and no one was allowed to go out.
Patrol teams rushed out quickly and conducted searches in various areas.
It’s a pity that Anyang City is too big, enough to accommodate tens of millions of people. An assassin conceals his figure and his breath, and trying to find him is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Especially since the assassination on that day was so strange and sudden, many people did not react.
Even the characteristics of the assassin are unclear. We only know that he seems to have an accomplice who can control puppets and is very powerful, able to resist strong men in the sixth realm.
Under such circumstances, the difficulty of finding it is increased several times.
"Haha, someone will always be disgusted by such arrogance and bullying."
"Isn't this retribution?"
"It's a pity that no one can take him in."
In the Yao Chi Sect’s base in Anyang City, there are pavilions and towers lined up one after another, with towering cliffs, purple mist lingering, and palaces and caves hidden among them.
After Chen Ning and the others returned here, they showed undisguised gloating on their faces after learning the news that Jiang Lan had been assassinated.
It’s a pity that Jiang Lan was safe and sound, which made them feel very unhappy.
Since leaving Zuixianju, they did not dare to stay for a moment and hurried back here. Zhao Dieyi even returned to the cave to meditate as soon as possible.
Even for this inner door assessment task, I was too lazy to care about them.
Chen Ning and the others had no choice but to wait until Zhao Dieyi calmed down before trying to say something nice to her. Otherwise, they would not be able to pass the inner door assessment and would have to wait another year.
A year is enough time to miss a lot of resources.
As for Chu Chan, they all tacitly ignored her. Everyone treated her as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth, not asking about her or intervening.
Even when the elders of Yao Chi Sect came to inquire about the progress of the inner sect assessment, everyone remained silent and did not mention Chu Chan at all.
The elders of Yao Chi Sect had already learned what had happened from Zhao Dieyi, and they pretended to be ignorant of it.
An ordinary female disciple with no background, apart from her good looks, has no other advantages.
His talent for cultivation is mediocre, and he has even missed the best age to build a solid foundation.
The slight advantage in cultivation gained through hard work and diligent practice had long been overtaken by other disciples with more outstanding talents and more abundant resources, until there was nothing left.
There are thousands of such disciples in Yao Chi Sect, if not tens of thousands, and many of them die every year due to various missions and training.
Even if Chu Chan died silently, it would not cause any waves.
"Zhao Dieyi will be practicing a technique in seclusion during this period. You will be delayed for a while for the inner sect assessment task."
"I got the news that the quasi-saint Ling Zhuyun will leave for Anyang City soon."
"She will be in charge of your inner sect assessment then."
After leaving these words in the communication jade talisman, the figure of the elder of Yao Chi Sect slowly disappeared.
Chen Ning and others could not hide their joy and excitement on their faces, and many people had undisguised admiration in their eyes.
The quasi-saint Ling Zhuyun is actually going to come to Anyang City in person.
He is the undisputed young legend of their Yao Chi Sect, with outstanding talent and profound strength.
Now, at only twenty years old, she has broken many records in cultivation. Many people even call her the incarnation of the ancestor, who will lead the Yao Chi Sect to new glory.
The other two quasi-saints, even though they were incredibly talented and gifted, still paled in comparison to her.
In the eyes of all the disciples of Yao Chi Sect, the quasi-saint Ling Zhuyun is not only gentle as water, but also has a heart of justice and is willing to help the common people. She is also detached from the mundane world and holy, just like a banished immortal.
Everyone in front of her can't help but feel inferior.
…
"Don't worry, sir. This concerns the safety of Young Master Jiang Lan."
"I will definitely not be careless. I have already dispatched people to guard the city gates and use the Qianyuan Mirror to investigate. If there is anything unusual, the assassin will definitely not be able to escape."
"Young Master Jiang Lan came to Anyang City last night. I was busy with work and was unable to go to greet him in person, which is why Young Master Jiang Lan was frightened."
"This is a small token of my humble service to calm Young Master Jiang Lan down."
In the private room of Zuixianju, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes, a tall hat and a wide belt, with a smile on his face and a bit of humility, was apologizing.
He was tall, with a stern face, and when his eyes opened and closed, there was a faint flash of golden light, making him look like a great master.
As the mayor of Anyang City, he is also a sixth-level being, and his cultivation is not inferior to Uncle Ying.
"You are too polite, Lord. The young master was just a little frightened, nothing serious is wrong."
Uncle Ying stood in front of the middle-aged man and just nodded slightly when he heard the words, with a calm expression.
Although the person in front of him was as powerful as him and was the mayor of a large capital city like Anyang, he did not care too much.
As the prime minister's confidant, even a county governor would not dare to act arrogantly in front of him.
On the other side, there stood an ancient jade screen filled with mist, giving off an aura of tranquility and concentration.
Faintly, one could see a slender figure lying at the back on the table, with his head lazily supported.
A graceful figure seemed to be nestling in his arms, peeling the spiritual grapes beside him from time to time, then gently holding them in her rosy lips like petals, and then raising her flawless face to hand them over personally.
"I accept the city lord's kindness." Jiang Lan's words came, casually and lazy.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to look up, and just said, "Then I will not disturb Master Jiang Lan's rest."
After saying this, the servants behind him left the boxes behind. Several beautiful young girls also stayed where they were, looking nervous and anxious.
"Chan'er and Qinghan, go and take a look. Since it's a gift from Anyang City, there must be a lot of good stuff."
"Uncle Ying will give the rest to the guards. They have done a great job in stopping the assassin today and they deserve a reward."
Jiang Lan said casually, not really caring about the treasures he sent.
Although his original body had no cultivation before, he had everything except treasures.
He estimated that the things sent by the Lord of Anyang City were just vulgar things.
"Yes, Master."
Uncle Ying was not surprised at this. Although the young master's actions were absurd, he was never stingy when it came to rewarding his subordinates.
"Chan'er thanks you very much, sir."
Chu Chan was pleasantly surprised. She was originally very tight on money, and even when she was practicing, she tried to save as much as possible.
He would wish to break a spirit stone into two halves and would not want to waste it. He would absorb all the spiritual energy in it, leaving not a trace behind.
She would also collect the spirit stone residues that other disciples disdained.
She would also keep the empty shells left after the spirit stones had used up all their spiritual energy, and exchange them for some useful small items in some mortal markets.
The medicinal meal she had yesterday was equivalent to half a year of hard training, and that was because it had not been completely refined.
If she could completely refine the medicinal power, she estimated that she could save one to two years of hard training... As for the little she paid, in her opinion, it was not worth worrying about at all.
The feeling of "reaching the sky in one step" made Chu Chan feel complicated and mixed, but at the same time she couldn't help but indulge in it.
She was very glad that she woke up quickly and changed her mind in time, instead of indulging in the same stubborn thinking as in the past.
Su Qinghan was still sitting cross-legged on a table not far away, practicing, trying his best to transform the power of the medicine into his own cultivation strength.
Not long after she broke through the fourth realm and entered the Zhaoyou realm, her foundation was not yet solid and firm, but she lost her virginity and her cultivation speed was much slower than before.
However, the Su Nu Qi Xing Gong that her master, Qing Yu Zhenren, taught her is most effective only on a night full of stars. She has not yet figured out the trick, and her progress is not fast.
She didn't want to delay her practice, so she practiced whenever she had time.
Just watching Chu Chan sticking to Jiang Lan since yesterday, and Jiang Lan accepting all her advances, there was no trace of her previous mysophobia at all.
She was still restless for no reason, unable to calm down most of the time, and having trouble keeping her mind clear.
"Thank you for the reward, sir. But Qinghan has a lot of treasures on him, so let Sister Chan'er pick those things first."
Su Qinghan opened her eyes and smiled lightly, but when her eyes glanced at Chu Chan, there was a fleeting hint of deep meaning and amusement.
She had already seen that this woman's previous act of being delicate was completely prepared. She was determined to follow Jiang Lan.
Everything he said and did, every move he made, was to please Jiang Lan.
She was like a vine that suddenly saw a towering tree, and tried every possible means to climb up, absorb nutrients from it, and seek shelter from it.
Although Su Qinghan could understand, he couldn't be like Chu Chan, and he didn't dare to imagine himself becoming like that...
"Then Chan'er would like to thank Sister Qinghan."
"It just so happens that Chan'er is in great need of magic weapon spirit stones. If you can't use them, you can give them to Chan'er. Chan'er will definitely be grateful."
Chu Chan could guess what Su Qinghan was thinking, but she just smiled and looked very happy.
Su Qinghan looked down on her. She had already abandoned her dignity and face long ago. What was there for her to care about if she was ridiculed and looked down upon?
"..."Su Qinghan paused.
She didn't expect Chu Chan to be so calm, which made her feel like she was punching cotton.
"Qinghan, you don't have to argue with Chan'er. She has suffered a lot in the past. As her elder sister, you should be a little more generous."
Jiang Lan smiled with interest. He found it interesting to see that Su Qinghan actually started to make sarcastic remarks about Chu Chan.
With her personality, she would care about these things.
Therefore, he didn't mind showing some favoritism and adding fuel to the fire for the two of them.
Su Qinghan glanced at him with a hint of resentment, vaguely guessing Jiang Lan's bad taste. Didn't she just want to see her and Chu Chan fighting?
"Sir, please don't blame Sister Qinghan. It was Chan'er who was ignorant and made Sister unhappy. Sister is Sister after all, and Chan'er shouldn't talk back to Sister..."
Chu Chan immediately apologized hastily, and did not forget to continue chatting, which made Su Qinghan so angry that she gritted her teeth. Her plump and well-proportioned chest also rose and fell, and then she turned her head away, thinking that if she didn't see it, she wouldn't be annoyed.
Uncle Ying, upon seeing this, tactfully withdrew, and took with him the several young girls sent by the city lord.
As long as Jiang Lan doesn't give any orders, it means that he looks down on these vulgar women.
However, Jiang Lan suddenly waved his hand, stopped him, and ordered, "Uncle Ying, go and ask someone to collect all the past experiences related to Chan'er. I will take a look at it myself."
"I heard from Chan'er last night that when she lived in Anyang City, she was bullied a lot..."
"Oh, she has a younger brother. Let's investigate her brother's recent situation and see if he's been bullied by anyone."
Although he already knew Chu Chan's past and future destiny.
But at this time, he still has to play his role well. It is not difficult at all to play the role of a second-generation rich man who is fascinated by her beauty.
If Jiang Lan remembered correctly, it wouldn't be long before Chu Chan would get the greatest opportunity to change her life.
"Yes, young master." Uncle Ying was slightly stunned when he heard that, but he didn't care much and left as he was told.
"Thank you, sir, for taking charge of Chan'er."
Hearing Jiang Lan's words, Chu Chan couldn't hide her emotion and happiness.
Although she wanted to win Jiang Lan's favor, it was entirely because of his power and the fact that she had no choice and no way out, and there was not a single bit of sincerity in her.
But she had to admit that Jiang Lan, a second-generation rich man who was despised and scolded behind his back and had no good reputation, was the first person who had been so nice to her in all those years.
Even she was not sure whether her feelings at the moment were genuine...
Jiang Lan naturally didn't mind her being touched and sincere.
He smiled gently, held her in his arms, and said, "Chan'er is happy, and so am I."
"Young Master..."
Chu Chan's eyes suddenly became misty, and without caring that Su Qinghan was right beside her, she raised her fair and flawless face to greet him.
"Why are you so annoying?" Jiang Lan chuckled.
