Chapter 99 Why is Lin Fan dead? He came back to avenge all his enemies in his previous life
"Lan'er, it really gave me and my wife a surprise."
"However, what makes us both most relieved is that he has finally come out of his old knot. My wife and I tried everything we could to help him untie the knot, but he finally untied it on his own."
"According to the news from Jiang Ying, Lan'er woke up after experiencing several life-and-death crises. But from what I know about him, I'm afraid there are other reasons."
Jiang Lintian accepted the jade slip of message and spoke cheerfully, his words sounding like a kind father, totally unlike the eagle-eyed and wolf-like look that the outside world had said he had.
"You have to untie your own knot. No matter what others say, it's useless."
"Young Master has a noble destiny. How can a mere setback overwhelm him?"
"From the news that has come in, it seems that what the young master has been doing recently has a deeper meaning. To be cautious, I think it would be best for the prime minister to meet the young master in person..."
The old man in black robe smiled.
Jiang Lintian nodded slightly and said, "Lan'er has the soul protection lock left by the madam. The soul protection lock was personally engraved and condensed by the ancestor of the Li family. In the ancestral temple of the Li family, there is also a seven-star soul lamp. I know what Master Ji guessed, so there is no need to worry about it."
Hearing this, the old man in black robe nodded and said no more.
The Prime Minister and his wife only have one son. It is impossible for them not to have anticipated this situation, so they must have made preparations to prevent many unknown situations.
He had only heard a little about what happened to Jiang Lan many years ago. He didn't know much, but he could vaguely guess some of it.
For the Prime Minister's Mansion, this was a taboo that no one dared to mention. Even when he talked with the Prime Minister, he avoided talking about it.
And what happened many years ago was also the biggest source of Jiang Lan's heart knot and illness.
Jiang Lintian knew what Master Ji in front of him was thinking, he just smiled and didn't say much.
He picked up the jade chopsticks and picked up the delicacies in front of him.
"Lan'er will come back after he finishes the business in Anyang City. Master Ji, which natural resources and treasures do you think are most suitable for him to rebuild the foundation of the great way now?" he asked casually.
"The Immortal Fetus Creation Dew is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It contains fragments of the essence of the former Immortal Phoenix Clan. It can reverse the innate nature and shape the immortal fetus. Ordinary natural treasures will not be of much use to you, young master."
“I have heard that in the royal family’s treasury, there is the corpse of a young fairy phoenix. Although it is just a corpse and its divinity has dissipated a lot, it is the most suitable main material for refining the foundation-building medicine. In addition, it is said that the King of Zhenbei has a piece of Moon Phoenix Stone, and the Duke of Zhongguo has a feather that is suspected to be a fairy phoenix feather. In the Qingsong Dao Mansion, there is a lost exotic bird egg. If it is condensed, a wisp of the ancestral phoenix blood can be obtained…”
The old man in black robe talked eloquently, as if he knew all the treasures in the world and where they were.
Jiang Lintian showed an approving look and nodded, "Then do as Master Ji said. I'll send someone to find it right away."
The old man in black robe smiled and said, "Then Prime Minister, you have to cover up for me, otherwise others will blame me and I won't be able to bear it."
"Master Ji, you're joking. As the head of the Tianji Pavilion, who in today's Great Xia dares not give you some face?" Jiang Lintian also smiled, looking casual and at ease.
Although those natural treasures are extremely rare and precious, when he talks about them, it seems that others will offer them to him just by saying a few words.
The Tianji Pavilion he mentioned was a mysterious force that suddenly emerged in Daxia more than half a year ago.
The leader of the pavilion is said to be a mysterious and powerful person who is extremely skilled in divination. His origins are unknown, but he is said to have spies throughout the entire Zhongtian Province, and there is no secret that he does not know.
He first created the Peerless List, which was said to cover the entire Zhongtianzhou, and later he created many lists such as the Outstanding People List, the Qingyun List, and the Tenglong List.
Each list is divided into three parts: heaven, earth and man.
So far, the peerless list and the heavenly list have been announced, with ten people selected for the heavenly list, thirty people for the earthly list, and one hundred people for the human list.
Originally, there was nothing special about the list of most beautiful women. In some areas, there were people who arranged the appearances of many beautiful women.
However, the list of beauties published by the Tianji Pavilion includes some peerless beauties who, in the eyes of the world, have long since passed away and even some ancient forces that have never been heard of before.
After the announcement of the Most Beautiful List, people realized that those beauties who seemed to have turned into skeletons in their eyes were not actually old, but just changed their identities and retired to different places.
The authenticity of the list has also been confirmed.
The subsequent release of the Outstanding People List, the Rising Star List, and the Tenglong List caused even greater waves.
Many young geniuses are on the list. Where they came from, what kind of opportunities and fortune they had, their strengths and their battle records were all analyzed in detail, and the authenticity of the analysis shocked all parties.
Many young geniuses also started fighting for a ranking position, even to the point of bloodshed.
They are young and energetic, and can bring fame to themselves and the forces and sects behind them. Naturally, many young people are controlled by them.
As soon as these lists were released, they attracted great attention from all the immortal sects.
Of course, only a very few forces know that this so-called Tianji Pavilion is most likely a force supported by the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just like the Changlong Business Alliance, the Xiangguo Mansion controls nearly 60% of the economic lifeline of the entire Daxia territory. Once the Tianji Pavilion comes into being, many secret information will no longer be hidden.
Many people speculated that the existence of the Tianji Pavilion was to shake up the Tianjian Division that abolished Daxia.
The Heavenly Supervisory Department is responsible for monitoring the world, collecting and listing a lot of information and secrets, and is responsible for the situation of the immortal gates in various places.
However, the Tianshi Division was only responsible to the royal family, and the information contained in it was not spread to the outside world.
The existence of Tianji Pavilion is equivalent to making the internal information of Jiantiansi public and controlling it in its own hands.
Although this move may have the suspicion of shaking the foundation of the Tiantian Bureau, the Tianji Pavilion caused a huge sensation in a short period of time after its establishment, and even many immortal sects benefited from it. The royal family of Daxia could do nothing about it.
Over time, Tianji Pavilion has become the most mysterious force in today's Daxia.
From the great sects of immortals to peddlers and hawkers, everyone can go there to find out the information they want.
The updating and publication of numerous rankings every month has become the most concerned issue for many immortal sects and aristocratic families.
"It's a good thing that Lan'er has untied his knot, but I'm afraid that from now on, those royal relatives will no longer be as patient as before. Although it's a good thing, it may also bring danger to him..."
"The situation in Daxia is still unclear. Although I am confident, I still need to wait."
"However, once Lan'er has some cultivation, the royal family will definitely not stay still."
"Although the Tianjian Division does not interfere in the struggle for imperial power, there is no guarantee that the people in it will not be biased towards the royal family. Some time ago, the people from the Dark Flower Pavilion secretly contacted the Tianjian Division and intended to investigate Lan'er..."
Jiang Lintian put down his jade chopsticks, frowned slightly, his expression suddenly became deep, and there seemed to be scenes of extinguished stars in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Master Ji also put down his chopsticks and said, "Is the Prime Minister worried about the safety of the young master? There are so many experts around the young master now. Even if the royal family members are restless, they will not be so stupid as to attack the young master."
Jiang Lintian shook his head and said, "Of course, the royal family doesn't have the guts to do that, but there are people who want to use a knife to kill someone else and stir up chaos in Daxia."
"The holy sects in Beiyuan Prefecture have long intended to compete for Zhongtian Prefecture. The previous emperor of Daxia expelled them, but Daxia's dragon luck has been dimming recently, and the star of disaster is shaking. It is inevitable that Beiyuan Prefecture will have other ideas..."
"The royal family members are so greedy that they burn forests and fields and drain lakes to fish. They only care about the immediate benefits. They don't know that if there were no prime minister guarding Daxia, Beiyuanzhou, Nanhuangzhou, Xilingzhou...how could they be so peaceful?" Master Ji smiled respectfully.
Jiang Lintian sighed slightly, "If I could check and balance those major states, I would have changed Da Xia to Jiang long ago. The current Emperor Xia is too weak. Does she think she can protect Da Xia by herself?"
"The royal family members are each acting on their own, scheming against each other, and only want to erode their own interests. How could they care about the many problems in Daxia?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the skills I practiced required me to carry the destiny of the country, cultivate humanity, and then use the method of Yunchao to condense the foundation of feather transformation, otherwise I would have already left this mess behind and learned how free and easy it would be like Madam. How refreshing it would be."
Hearing Jiang Lintian's complaints, Master Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Prime Minister is a great talent. Others all say that the Prime Minister is ambitious and has brought chaos to the government. But who knows that the Prime Minister is the only one who truly cares about Daxia?"
Jiang Lintian couldn't help but smile at himself when he heard his praise.
How could he care about Daxia? It was just that Daxia was useful to him.
"Actually, I do have a plan, but it depends on whether the Prime Minister and his wife are willing..." Master Ji suddenly stood up and bowed.
"What method?" Jiang Lintian was slightly surprised.
"Not many people know that the current Emperor Xia is a woman. Since the Prime Minister is worried about how to balance the power of several states, it would be better to let Emperor Xia become a member of the Jiang family." Master Ji said.
Jiang Lintian narrowed his eyes when he heard this, as if he thought of something.
"It's easy to say, but not easy to do. It depends on whether Lan'er is willing to suffer this loss. But judging from Xia Junxi's character, she would rather defend the country to her death than surrender to the Prime Minister's Mansion..." He laughed.
Master Ji smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Lintian smiled and said, "In a few months, Xia Junxi will be sweeping the land bordering the Southern Wasteland State to hold the usual Southern Hunting Conference. During this period, disciples from various immortal sects will be there. I wanted to teach her a lesson, but Master Ji, what you said has changed my mind."
"But I will discuss this matter with him in detail after Lan'er comes back. After he breaks through the third realm, I will prepare some surprises for him."
…
Anyang City.
In the villa, Jiang Lan had no idea that Jiang Lintian, who was far away in Jingyang City, was already thinking about how to give him a surprise.
There are several ancient pines towering into the clouds. When the wind blows, the sound of pine waves sounds like the roar of the sea.
In front of the old tree that looks like a dragon, there stands a pavilion.
He held a page of an ancient scroll in his hand, which he spread out on the stone table in front of him.
Chu Chan helped him grind the brush and watched him holding the brush and drawing on the ancient scroll, as if marking something.
"Daxia has a total of 108 counties, and each county is of different sizes. Generally speaking, apart from the county governor who is at the sixth level of strength, only the patriarchs of some ancient aristocratic families have this level of strength..."
"Zhongtianzhou is located in the core center of the Jiuzhou land, where dragon veins converge. It is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."
"And the Great Xia Dynasty occupies the most advantageous location in Zhongtianzhou. The various immortal sects are like stars surrounding the moon, scattered among the surrounding mountains. Although they have not submitted to Great Xia, they have to abide by the rules of Great Xia when they come to the territory of Great Xia and dare not cross the line..."
"Daxia is the undisputed overlord of Zhongtianzhou. Apart from them are many immortal families and various alien races. Among the immortal families, Taiyi has the most profound and long-standing heritage."
Jiang Lan was actually analyzing the situation in Daxia based on the memories in his mind, because this was related to his next plan.
After all, the story he is familiar with is only the tip of the iceberg of this world and cannot fully reveal the entire world.
Now he is outside the plot, and many things are no longer developing according to the plot he knows.
Therefore, he felt it necessary to mark out some of the opportunities and fortunes he was familiar with on the map in advance, and then combine them with the information he had learned to make better plans.
After solving the current obvious problems with his body and putting the blame for being the successor of the Blood Immortal Sect on Ye Ming, he has temporarily resolved his current worries.
So next, he has two options.
One is to practice step by step, and honestly play the role of a second-generation rich man who has "resolved his mental knot". With an immortal fetus in his body and the resources of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he naturally does not have to worry about anything for his future practice. With his "talent", it is only a matter of time before he pursues immortality.
But this choice will also lead to a problem. Although the immortal fetus is obtained, it will still take a long time to reach the level of your parents.
Even in the original plot, it took Jiang Ruxian decades to grow to the point where she was hard to find an rival in the world.
Jiang Lan didn't think that his acquired immortal fetus, coupled with some random opportunities, could be better than her, so his greatest reliance was still on the Fruit of Life and the inheritance of the Blood Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, if he only relied on an immortal fetus, he really wasn't sure whether he could still be successful in the future under the influence of some kind of corrective force in this world, and whether he could ensure that he, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the family behind him could still stand firm under the torrent of the great trend of heaven and earth.
So the first option is basically impossible.
The immortal fetus can only be used to conceal the surface of his cultivation. He still has to stay behind the scenes and continue to be the sixth person.
"After Lin Fan died, Chu Yun appeared. However, Chu Yun does not pose any threat to me at present. On the contrary, I can use him in the future..."
"As for Ye Ming, there is no need to consider him as the scapegoat for now. When he is no longer of any benefit to me, that will be his death."
Jiang Lan fell into deep thought.
He wanted to plot against her for luck, and basically ignored all the people he could think of.
And his good sister Jiang Ruxian should still be on the Island of No Return. In the original plot, she will appear later.
So for now, he can only focus on other people.
Su Qinghan? If we count on her, we can only wait until she enters Dao Cang Sword Sect and see if we can use her to plot against her master, Jade Green Sword Immortal.
As for Chu Chan, she has always been by his side, and there is no chance for her to show her skills. He has to think of an excuse to let her do whatever she wants. The more she gains, the more luck he can get in return.
"In the current situation in Daxia, the royal family and the Prime Minister's Mansion are openly competing with each other, the Confucian Temple is declining, and the imperial master lineage remains neutral."
"But as someone who is familiar with the plot, I know that this imperial teacher may seem neutral, but in fact he is biased towards the royal family."
"The current Queen of Great Xia, Xia Junxi, is actually his youngest disciple, but it is kept secret."
Jiang Lan stroked the brush.
Speaking of the current Queen of Da Xia, Jiang Lan suddenly remembered.
She currently seems to be acting as a man and dares not reveal the fact that she is a woman.
There was a serious internal struggle among the descendants of the previous emperor of Daxia. As the various factions fought secretly, several princes were assassinated and died one after another.
Although the late emperor was extremely capable and worked tirelessly to rectify the government, he gradually became unable to do so as he grew older.
In the court, the prime minister monopolizes power, has evil ambitions, holds military power, intimidates various sects and dynasties, and resists foreign races.
In addition, the late emperor had swallowed life-extending elixirs made by various immortal sects, which had caused him to have poison over a long period of time. He was old and weak, and his cultivation was no longer at its peak. In order to give birth to a prince to succeed the throne, he toiled day and night.
Under such circumstances, several princesses were born one after another. Finally, the late emperor had no choice but to conceal the fact by disguising the little princess as a boy, and announced to the world that he would pass the throne to her.
When the previous emperor was in power, he could still intimidate all forces in the court. However, with the previous emperor's death, the young emperor naturally no longer had the power to intimidate them, and all parties became more and more unscrupulous.
That's why Jiang Lan's father called a horse a deer in the court, causing him to lose face.
Although Emperor Xia is now the emperor, he has no real power and is like a puppet. He has been enduring humiliation and keeping his weapons within reach, waiting for the day when he can confiscate the property of all the traitors and powerful ministers.
In the original plot, when the Queen of Daxia was on an incognito tour to the north, she was attacked by an assassin. The protagonist Lin Fan happened to meet her and fought off the assassin. Then he began to come into contact with the Queen and was appreciated and respected by her.
Over the years, the Queen has been trying to find ways to build up her own power.
She often disguised herself as a young man from an aristocratic family and frequently visited the martial arts world to seek out the whereabouts of immortals, make friends with talented people, recruit talented people to serve her, and use them for her own purposes.
Privately, she has established Juxianzhuang, Zhengyihui, Naxianmeng, Anhuage and other forces...
"However, speaking of that national teacher, it reminds me of someone."
Jiang Lan put away the ancient scroll in front of him, and some thoughts flashed through his mind.
The Great Xia National Master is named Ge Qixing. He was once a figure as famous as his father and always sat in the observatory. It is said that he can see the sun and moon in the sky, the movement of stars, know the past and present, and predict good and bad luck. In the original plot, he is also a powerful character.
Of course, the reason why he thought of Ge Qixing was because of the imperial teacher's illegitimate son Xiao Teng.
Xiao Teng is the illegitimate son of Ge Qixing and the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, but due to his status as the Imperial Master, this cannot be made public, so it has been kept secret.
In the original plot, Xiao Teng was defeated by the protagonist Lin Fan and was convinced that he wanted to become his disciple, but was rejected by Lin Fan. He then regarded himself as a follower and servant.
In the plot in the imperial capital Jingyang City, Lin Fan was ridiculed. He showed up and addressed him as the master, slapping him in the face.
Xiao Teng’s current identity is the third son of Zhenbei King Xiao He.
Because Xiao He admired the Goddess Palace Master, he volunteered to help her raise her illegitimate child and helped Xiao Teng conceal his identity. He has always called the child his own illegitimate son and treated him as his own son, cherishing him very much.
Xiao Teng did not disappoint him. As a well-known genius in Jingyang City, he was young but had great strength and talent. He overwhelmed many young people and had few rivals.
"Xiao Teng didn't know his own life experience. He was accepted as a disciple by the national teacher Ge Qixing many years ago. He was taught carefully and his strength improved by leaps and bounds."
"It was also because of Xiao Teng that, in the original plot, Lin Fan gradually learned the true identity of Queen Xia Junxi, whom he accidentally saved..."
Jiang Lan pinched his brows and sorted out these relatively important plots.
"Sir, the Saintess Zhu Yun from Yao Chi Sect is visiting outside the mansion."
At this time, the servant's voice came and interrupted Jiang Lan's thoughts.
Ling Zhuyun? "Please ask her to come in."
Jiang Lan was not surprised at all. He waved his hand, and Chu Chan on the side tactfully stepped back upon seeing this.
Soon, Ling Zhuyun, led by her servants, met Jiang Lan in the pavilion.
"Saint Bamboo Rhythm..."
Jiang Lan stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit down.
Ling Zhuyun was not polite either. She gathered the hem of her skirt, then crossed her legs and sat down elegantly on the stone bench beside her. However, the expression on her face seemed as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are not strangers anymore. There is no need to be so polite." Jiang Lan glanced at her, took a sip of tea, and said casually.
"I'm here to thank Master Jiang for what happened at the entrance to the secret realm of Zixia Mountain a few days ago."
"You left without thanking me properly at that time. Later, due to many things happening in the sect, I was unable to get away, so I was delayed." Ling Zhuyun gathered the few strands of black hair floating on her temples and said softly.
"You don't have to worry about such a small matter." Jiang Lan still looked casual.
Ling Zhuyun bit her lip lightly, looked at him and said, "Mr. Jiang, are you still angry with me because Ye Ming escaped in the secret realm that night?"
Jiang Lan was very interested, but his face was still casual and indifferent. He said, "No, why would I doubt you, and why would I be angry with you?"
"After all, you and Ye Ming have known each other for a long time. Even if he is colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect, it is normal for you to let him go for the sake of our past friendship. I can understand that, so why would I be angry?"
“…”
Ling Zhuyun was left speechless by what he said.
She said she had no doubts, and that really meant she had no doubts. She had already determined that she was the one who let Ye Ming go on purpose.
And saying that, he must be angry...
"I really didn't let Ye Ming go on purpose. I can swear on my Dao heart."
Ling Zhuyun couldn't help but explain. She felt that if she didn't explain it clearly, she might not be able to explain it clearly. She didn't want to be misunderstood by Jiang Lan, especially when his words now sounded as if he was still thinking about his old relationship with Ye Ming.
This made her feel very uncomfortable these days. Even when talking to the elders, she was absent-minded. She had to find an opportunity to explain things to Jiang Lan.
"Dao Xin swears?"
"Then why did you suddenly stop at that time? Don't think that because I didn't have any cultivation at that time, I didn't know that you were communicating with Ye Ming through telepathy." Jiang Lan suddenly looked at her with a serious expression on his face.
"I……"
"At that time, I was just afraid that I might have recognized the wrong person, so I wanted to confirm his identity. I wasn't talking about anything..." Ling Zhuyun hurriedly explained, but because she spoke so fast, she seemed to be stuttering.
"If it's not you, why are you so flustered and stuttering? Are you hiding something?" Jiang Lan still looked like he was unwilling to let her go.
"I...I'm just afraid that you will misunderstand." Ling Zhuyun said in a low voice, not daring to look him in the eye.
Jiang Lan seemed to understand at this moment. He nodded, said with an "oh", and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood you."
"No, it's all my fault for not explaining it clearly at the time."
Seeing that he understood, Ling Zhuyun heaved a sigh of relief and felt inexplicably more relaxed and happy.
"You know it's your fault, that's right..."
Jiang Lan said, "But is it necessary for you to care so much about my thoughts?"
"It is necessary. I have been thinking about being misunderstood by you these past few days. I don't know why, but I always feel blocked and uncomfortable in my heart. I can't calm down even when I meditate..."
"If I don't explain it clearly, I'm worried that it will become my inner demon." Ling Zhuyun explained seriously.
"Are you sure it's your inner demon, and not that you fell in love with me for no apparent reason?"
Jiang Lan looked at her and suddenly reached out to grab her veil.
Ling Zhuyun was worried that he would flirt with her again like he did that day in the side hall of the Taoist temple, so she was about to stand up and hide behind him.
Jiang Lan's words rang out, "Don't move."
Ling Zhuyun felt her head buzzing for a moment, and she subconsciously sat where she was, not moving, but pinching her sleeves with her delicate hands, very nervously.
"I'm not a monster. Is there any need to be so scared?" Jiang Lan asked with a chuckle, stroking her face through the veil.
Ling Zhuyun didn't say anything, her eyes seemed to be filled with mist, and her ears and neck were red.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan lifted her veil and held it in his hand, "Don't wear these veils when you see me in the future."
"I like the way you look now. The veil is for others to see..."
Ling Zhuyun bit her lip lightly and nodded subconsciously.
"You came here today, it can't be because of this, right?"
"no."
"I'm going back to Yao Chi Sect with the sect, so I came to say goodbye to you." While Ling Zhuyun was speaking, her eyes were looking at him, as if she wanted to see the expression on his face clearly.
"I see. Just leave this veil to me as a souvenir." Jiang Lan said casually, "Whenever I want to see you, I'll take it out and take a look at it..."
"Not to mention it smells pretty good."
After saying this, he took it and sniffed it, then put it back in his arms.
Ling Zhuyun's ears and neck became redder and redder, and even her flawless white face seemed to be covered with a bright red.
At this moment, Jiang Lan seemed to have thought of something. He spread out his palms and a clear light flashed.
A simple but beautiful jade hairpin appeared in his hand, with pearls and tassels hanging at the end.
"What is this?" Ling Zhuyun was immediately attracted by the small object in his hand.
"When we were in the temple that day, didn't you say that every time your master punished you, he would bring you some small items to cheer you up?"
"Your favorite was a jade hairpin, but it was a pity that you accidentally broke it..."
"Don't mention it, they look quite good together."
Jiang Lan explained casually, stood up, and helped her pin the jade hairpin diagonally between her black hair as she looked at him in surprise.
"How come you still remember it..." Ling Zhuyun didn't expect that she was just talking to him casually at that time, but he still remembered it.
She looked at Jiang Lan with bright eyes, which seemed to be filled with waves of emotions.
"I have a good memory. I just happened to see it on the street and bought it."
Jiang Lan said casually, as the most amorous and devoted Daxia noble, isn't this a basic operation? It's nothing more than knowing that she will definitely not be able to hold back and come to the door herself, and then ordering someone to buy it and prepare it early.
"This is the first time I accept something from a man." Ling Zhuyun's mouth curled up. She wanted to reach out and take down the hairpin and take a closer look, but she was afraid of accidentally breaking it again.
As the saint of Yao Chi Sect, the men who pursued her in the past gave her many gifts, including some precious items, but she never accepted them.
Jiang Lan didn't let her refuse at all and directly helped her pin it into her hair.
"Don't you like it?"
"……like."
Ling Zhuyun came over and didn't stay long. When she got up to say goodbye and leave, she took out another veil and put it on.
This is a secret treasure that conceals its true appearance, and even divine consciousness cannot see it clearly.
Not long after Ling Zhuyun left, an unexpected person came to visit.
The leader of the Tianjian Division who is in charge of investigating the events of Zixia Mountain is a woman named Linglong.
Jiang Lan originally thought that she came to inquire about Zixia Mountain, but unexpectedly, she would ask about Lin Fan in Yuyi City and some details about Lin Fan.
Jiang Lan answered casually and called Uncle Ying to ask him to respond. He was surprised that someone from the Tianshi Division would suddenly come to him.
He also specifically asked about what happened in Yuyi City and Jiang Lan's situation in Yuyi City during the period afterwards.
At that time, Jiang Lan and Li Mengning went to the Bloody Plateau and were not in the City Lord's Mansion.
And this is no secret.
Jiang Lan asked himself that he had not left any loopholes or flaws, so it was impossible for people to make such associations for no reason.
But being suddenly suspected by the commander of the Tianshi Division made him suspicious.
Presumably, what I have done during this period of time has attracted the attention of many forces.
But what did this leader named Linglong mean by asking him? Was there something special about him that aroused her suspicion? Or was it just a routine matter?
"Although the Tianshi Division does not interfere with the imperial power, in the original plot, it has always been closely connected with the royal family."
"Because of that incident many years ago, any information about me must have remained a mystery in the Heavenly Monitoring Department."
"This commander seems to be investigating Lin Fan, but in fact he wants to take this opportunity to find out about me..."
"It seems that the royal family has decided to put some thoughts on me."
Not long after the Linglong commander left, Mr. Chu showed up and told Jiang Lan something.
"That Linglong Commander comes from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. She can control all the beasts. Some birds, beasts, insects and fish can become her eyes..."
After listening to this, Jiang Lan was slightly stunned.
There seems to be no such character in the original plot, but he has an impression of Wanshou Mountain.
Wanshou Mountain is a loyal force of the current Queen Xia Junxi.
"They came to visit and investigate me in a false way. In fact, they wanted to use the birds and beasts here as spies to judge my true intentions."
Jiang Lan sneered in his heart at his profound control over life.
If there was some living being that was intentionally monitoring and investigating him, how could he not sense it?
However, this incident reminded him that since he couldn't find a suitable person with great luck at the moment, he could start with the Queen.
"Return to the imperial capital, Jingyang City."
Jiang Lan gave the order and decided not to continue resting. It was time for him to meet with his parents and explain and solve some problems related to his temperament change.
…
"Old man, are you saying that Lin Fan, the son-in-law of the Su family in Yuyi City, is dead?"
"Because he assassinated the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was wanted and surrounded, and finally died in the mountains?"
Yuyi City, a relatively remote teahouse located at the entrance of an alley.
A woman was sitting among them, wearing a gauze hat on her head that covered her face, and was asking softly.
She was dressed in white, with a graceful figure, a slender neck, fair skin and fair bones, and was as white as frost and snow. Even if she was just sitting here, she could feel her transcendent temperament that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
But it seemed that none of the monks around her could see her.
"Reporting to the fairy, it is true. This was a major event that caused a lot of uproar in Yuyi City some time ago. It can be said that everyone knows about it."
"The eldest daughter of the Su family was favored by the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion and became his concubine."
"And because of this reason, the Su family got close to the Prime Minister's Mansion and became the largest family in Yuyi City. Even the city lord had to smile and accompany them..."
"That Su family's son-in-law was so bold that he had been hiding in Yuyi City, hiding his strength, and trying to assassinate the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He deserved to die. He almost implicated many innocent people at that time..."
The owner of the teahouse is an old man in his sixties.
Looking at the precious exotic spirit stones on the table in front of him, his eyes lit up and he explained vividly, recounting everything that had happened in Xueyue Pavilion in Yuyi City some time ago without any omissions.
"Assassinating the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
The woman in white was silent for a long time, asked for some details, then thanked and left.
Her figure merged into the crowd as she walked. Although she had an extraordinary temperament and was as ethereal as a fairy, it seemed as if no one could see her and she did not attract any attention at all.
The owner of the teahouse was also in a trance, as if a memory was missing from his mind.
But the precious spiritual stone of a different kind placed in front of him told him that it didn't seem to be a dream just now, but he was really talking to someone.
"This is really weird. Could it be that we have run into a ghost in broad daylight?"
The boss shook his head and took the spirit stone.
Yuyi City was very lively, with a constant flow of people, merchants and monks passing by. After a few simple inquiries, the woman in white quickly determined the location of the Su Mansion.
Her figure was like a wisp of green smoke, and she arrived at the Su Mansion as she walked slowly.
The guards at the door seemed to be unable to see her presence.
She took light steps, and her figure disappeared like smoke. When she reappeared, she was already in the Su Mansion.
"If it is really as the news said, then is Lin Fan really dead?"
"Why is it like this? It's completely different from my previous life. Everything has changed."
The woman in white found the master of Su Mansion.
Just a light touch made him unconscious, and then with a wave of her jade hand, his soul floated out, allowing him to browse through the many related memories.
Afterwards, she confirmed that the information she knew was correct, sighed slightly, restored his soul, left a bottle of elixir, and disappeared in the Su Mansion.
Half a day later, her figure appeared among the mountains behind Qingshui Village.
In the abyss, mist was still floating, accompanied by gusts of strong wind and lingering evil blood energy.
The traces of battle here have obviously been cleaned up, although the cruelty of the time can still be vaguely seen.
At the bottom of the Abyss, there are only some monsters that have just migrated there.
She tried to determine what happened here that day through the memories of these monsters.
But soon I was disappointed to find that there were no memories or clues left.
In other words, all the monsters that witnessed the battle scene that day died tragically, and no one was left alive.
"A man with great luck like Lin Fan would actually die here..."
“It’s really incredible.”
"But he probably didn't die in the monster's belly."
The woman in white stood quietly, and there seemed to be a ripple suddenly in her calm eyes.
Then many scenes began to change and she tried to deduce and trace back the scene of that day, but unfortunately with her current level of cultivation, she could only vaguely see some blurry images which were not real.
The only thing she could be sure of was that Lin Fan was really dead, and he had indeed died here.
In her previous life, she had tried many means to finally kill this lucky man, who was blessed by heaven and had great fortune, but in this life, he died so quickly.
"What went wrong?"
"Why did Lin Fan die here, and why was he wanted for the crime of assassinating him..."
"Did he know all this a long time ago? So he took action in advance and nipped the disaster in the bud?"
The woman in white remained silent for a long time.
In her original memory, Lin Fan did not die so easily. On the contrary, because of his profound luck, he had a smooth journey.
Jiang Lan also offended Lin Fan during his time in Yuyi City, which led to his death at Lin Fan's hands as a result of his revenge.
But now, Lin Fan died early at the hands of Jiang Lan.
She didn't believe that all this was accidental. From the information she had obtained, it seemed that every step Lin Fan took seemed to be guided towards a trap that had been set long ago.
The person who set up this fatal situation was Jiang Lan, the person she wanted to protect in the beginning.
Why is this happening?
Jiang Lan knew that he would be killed by Lin Fan, so he laid a big net in advance and killed Lin Fan first? Apart from this possibility, there is no other possibility.
After learning all this, all her plans were completely disrupted, so that now she was left with only confusion and fear in her heart.
Although she didn't know the reason, she was sure of one thing: Jiang Lan should have been reborn from the future just like herself...
He came back to take revenge on all his enemies from his past life.
