Chapter 70 She is the most beautiful woman in the outer sect, the cowherd Ye Ming
"Jiang... Young Master Jiang..."
Chen Ning never expected that even though she tried her best to shrink her body and bury her head completely, she would still be noticed by Jiang Lan.
Her voice began to stutter and tremble, and her tone was filled with panic and anxiety.
Her originally charming eyes were now filled with fear and trembling. Her oval face was pale, her hands were clenched tightly, and her whole body was shaking slightly because of fear.
"Hmm? She's pretty."
"It's you." Jiang Lan nodded as if satisfied.
"Jiang... Young Master Jiang, I have a fiancé, and... please let me go..."
Chen Ning's face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Dieyi didn't expect that Jiang Lan would actually fall in love with this junior sister.
"Jiang Lan..."
She gritted her teeth and wanted to persuade and stop her again. She remembered that this junior sister seemed to be from the Chen family of Beiyan, and the clan was also a well-known family of cultivators.
If something happened here, she, as the leading sister, would also be to blame.
"Are you trying to take her place, Zhao Dieyi? That's fine."
However, Jiang Lan just glanced at her and smiled faintly.
Zhao Dieyi choked and stopped talking immediately.
Jiang Lan looked at Chen Ning again, slowly lifted her chin with his folding fan, and said, "Fiancé? Do you want me to send someone to capture him, break his legs in front of you, and then ask him if he agrees?"
"I don't like it when someone disobeys me."
Chen Ning's face became paler and his lips trembled.
Suddenly, she thought of something, as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She quickly pointed to a person behind her who was also hanging her head and shrinking her body, and said hurriedly, "Master Jiang, Junior Sister Chu Chan is much prettier than me. She is the most beautiful woman in the outer sect."
"Really? If you don't believe me, just ask her to lift her head. You only need to take a look and you will understand..."
When Zhao Dieyi heard Chen Ning's words, he was not the only one who was stunned.
Even Chu Chan, who had been hiding behind, was stunned. She didn't expect that she would bring disaster upon herself at this time.
Her fair, oval face turned pale as she lowered her head, and her hands made crackling sounds because she was using too much force.
"Oh? Really?"
Jiang Lan also seemed surprised, and then looked over and said, "Look up."
"Jiang... Young Master Jiang..."
Chu Chan pursed her red lips, raised her head as she was told, and tried to remain calm, but her pale face and trembling hands still showed that she was uneasy.
She has big eyes, thick and long eyelashes, and is full of spirit. Her black hair is loose. Although her dress is simple and she has no pendants, she is very beautiful. Her appearance is not inferior to Zhao Dieyi at all.
"It's really good." Jiang Lan's eyes seemed to light up and he praised.
Seeing this, Chen Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Chu Chan with a mocking and gloating expression.
She was thankful for her wit. When Chu Chan was in the sect, she was more beautiful than her. But now? How could she have a good ending after being favored by this second-generation rich man?
Chu Chan felt gloomy in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at her senior sister Zhao Dieyi for help.
However, at this moment, Zhao Dieyi seemed not to have noticed her gaze. He didn't know where he was looking, and it seemed as if he didn't see this scene.
She suddenly felt desperate.
…
"The rumors are true. This second-generation rich kid is really arrogant and domineering. He has absolutely no scruples..."
"Aren't you afraid of attracting unwarranted enemies to the Xiangguo Mansion by doing this? Aren't you afraid of offending too many people and getting slaughtered on the road one day?"
"What an idiot. He doesn't know how to restrain himself at all."
At the same time, in a private room not far away.
A young man in a navy blue robe, with a resolute and slightly darkened face and regular features, was using his divine sense to investigate what was happening in the outside world.
Hearing this, his eyes narrowed and his tone seemed like he was talking to himself, but also like he was talking to someone else.
Above his palm, a soul aura emerged and a blood-red light flashed.
At the same time, an old and deep voice sounded in his mind, saying, "The guards around him are all very strong, and there is also a master of the sixth realm who is secretly protecting him, so he is naturally fearless."
"Sixth realm cultivation?"
The young man's face darkened slightly, and he said, "Zhu Yun is going to become the Saint of Yao Chi Sect in the future. For her sake, I cannot stand by and watch this disciple of Yao Chi Sect die."
"If left alone, there's no telling how this woman will be abused by that second-generation rich man."
"Besides, if she knew that I was there and did nothing, she would probably feel resentful towards me."
The old, deep voice seemed to laugh and said, "Haha, I thought you were devoted to Taoism, but I didn't expect that you would be so easily tempted by beauty."
"If you want to meddle in other people's business, have you thought about the consequences?"
Hearing this, the young man was a little hesitant. Although the second-generation rich man outside was indeed arrogant and domineering, he did have the capital to do so.
As the most powerful person in Daxia today, looking at the entire Zhongtian Province, no one dares to provoke him easily.
"Old ghost, you have many tricks up your sleeve, and I can only count on you to help me." He could only look at his palm and say.
"Let's wait and see. It seems that Zuixianju is also the property of that guy's family. You should not act rashly on his territory." The old and low voice responded.
The young man nodded, his eyes flashing, and began to think of a countermeasure.
Since Lao Gui said so, there must be a way.
"However, I have to find a way to conceal my true identity and change my appearance, otherwise I will offend that second-generation rich man in Anyang City, and it will be difficult for me to plan the inheritance of Zixia Zhenjun that the old ghost mentioned." He said secretly in his heart.
The old ghost has no name or surname. As for why he calls it the old ghost, it is because when he first saw it, he was frightened and thought it was a ghost living in his body.
His name was Ye Ming, and he was originally just an ordinary cowherd in Woniu Village of Dayan Country.
His parents died early, and he lived with his brother's family since childhood.
My aunt was mean and greedy. Not only did she allow my brother to occupy the fertile land left to him by his parents, she also drove him out of the homestead.
Ye Ming could only build a tiled house outside the cowshed and live with a few old oxen.
While herding cattle one day, he accidentally fell into a strange cave and remained unconscious for three days.
When I woke up three days later, there was this person called Old Ghost on my body.
The other party claimed to be the Imperial Master, but due to an accident, only a wisp of immortal soul was left, floating in the world, his consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes confused.
Many years ago, he was summoned by an evil monk when he was refining a soul-summoning flag, and has been sleeping inside the flag ever since.
However, that evil monk went astray and practiced in seclusion in a cave, where he died.
Many years later, Ye Ming fell into the cave by mistake, and woke him up from his deep sleep in the soul-summoning flag.
At that time, Ye Ming accidentally touched the restriction left by the evil monk. In order to save him and escape from the predicament, the old ghost had no choice but to live in Ye Ming and borrow his body.
Over the years, the two of them traveled far and wide, taking risks everywhere, all the way from the Great Yan Kingdom to the Great Xia Dynasty, the overlord of Zhongtianzhou.
As a remnant soul, Lao Gui had witnessed the life lives of many powerful men while wandering in various lands, so he knew which places might contain opportunities and fortune.
Now the two of them appeared in Anyang City, precisely to plan the inheritance of a man named Zixia Zhenjun in Laogui's memory.
