Yuwen Yao nodded. "Yes, the most powerful and well-informed family in Baidi City right now is the Lan family, and..." Yuwen Yao paused slightly and said, "The eldest daughter of the Lan family, Lan Xinyi, has always been in love with Xu Yiran."
"Is that so?"
Nan Lingqin expressed her confusion.
“Yes, back then he got too close to you, and I even considered arranging a marriage between them,” Yuwen Yao said.
Nan Lingqin glanced at him and said, "You're really petty and wicked."
"At this point, if we want to make a living in Baidi City without being discovered, we must find the Lan family to cover for us."
Nan Lingqin agreed, but then her tone suddenly changed, her face showing even more worry, "Moreover, what I'm more concerned about is whether the reason there's still no news from An Shangning is because she's already fallen into Xu Yiran's hands and is being controlled by him, I..."
Nan Lingqin looked dejected. "Yuwen Yao, I love you, but I treat Xu Yiran as an inseparable family member. I really can't believe his betrayal. I don't even dare to think about whether he will kill me with a sword or I will kill him when he reappears in front of me. In my heart, he's not that kind of person. He shouldn't be like this. Nothing should be like this..."
Yuwen Yao held Nan Lingqin tightly, resting his chin on her forehead and gently stroking it. "Qin'er, I'm here for you."
Nan Lingqin leaned against Yuwen Yao's chest, clutching his clothes tightly, and nodded heavily. "I was too selfish. I couldn't give him what he wanted, but I pointed at him when he was most helpless, trying to keep him by my side. I'm the one who pushed him too far."
"Qin'er..."
Yuwen Yao tightened his grip and gently closed his eyes. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you experience your most helpless moment."
"So from now on, you can only be good to me, and nothing else but be good to me."
"Okay." He stroked her head, his smile low and gentle, as beautiful as a painting.
After eating something, the two quietly left the inn under the deep moonlight and headed towards a mansion in Baidi City.
In the shadows, Tingfeng and Tingyu, having received the news, finally arrived. Seeing their Emperor and Miss Lingqin safe and sound, they were almost moved to tears of joy. They felt as if spring had returned to the earth, and nothing could make them happier than this.
Especially since the two ancestors had reconciled, the Emperor's gaze remained fixed on Miss Lingqin without ever leaving her.
At this moment, the two stood at the back gate of the Lan residence, and Tingfeng and Tingyu concealed their figures.
However, before the two could make a move, their expressions changed drastically.
Something seems off about the Lan family mansion.
The atmosphere was very heavy.
The two climbed over and hid in the shadows, where they saw a middle-aged man, a young woman, and several maids surrounded by dozens of men in black.
“Master Lan, if you don’t hand over the items, the Lan family will disappear from this world tomorrow, completely vanished.”
His voice was cold and ruthless.
"The Lan family members are definitely not cowards who fear death."
The voice was loud and clear; it must be the patriarch of the Lan family.
"But they're really tough nuts to crack."
The ruthless voice turned cold, then he walked to the side, placed a sword against a young woman's neck, and stared at her with ill intent.
"Hehe, everyone says that the eldest daughter of the Lan family is as beautiful as a fairy, not inferior to Princess Lingqin of Southern Qi. Seeing her today, her gentle beauty is truly pitiful. Brothers, tell me, if we had the eldest daughter of the Lan family keep us company, what an intoxicating experience it would be."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as the man finished speaking, some people burst into laughter along with him, and others suggested, "Sir, why don't we do it right here, so that this old man Lan can have a good look and see the methods of our Yama Palace?"
"That's very well said."
"Guards, dissect this young lady of the Lan family."
"Are you from the Underworld?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the woman he was pointing his sword at suddenly spoke softly, showing no sign of panic, but rather extreme calmness.
"So what if I am? Does the eldest daughter of the Lan family also harbor desires for the Underworld? Hahaha..."
"Does your Second Elder of the Underworld know that you are causing trouble here?"
Lan Xinyue asked, standing there without flinching or flinching, her expression calm and composed.
"Heh..." The man chuckled, looking at her. "I say, a young lady like you from the Lan family is not worth the trouble of our Second Elder of the Underworld. Besides, our Second Elder is currently locked in a fierce battle with the First Elder and has no time to concern himself with this matter."
"I see." Lan Xinyue nodded gently. "I knew it. Otherwise, why would you be so reckless as to break into the Lan family and cause chaos, and then speak so arrogantly to me?"
After Lan Xinyue finished speaking, she straightened her clothes, seemingly deep in thought.
The woman had a gentle and beautiful appearance, truly as serene as a painting. Standing there, her calmness made people frown.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull her over here, strip her naked."
As the man giving the orders spoke, he raised his sword and pointed it at Master Lan beside him, "Quickly, hand over all the money and seals..."
The words abruptly stopped.
Because the man's head had already separated from his body, rolling to the side in a round shape. This scene was so sudden and shocking that it was horrifying and unpredictable. Then, the other dozens of people from the Yama Palace were all killed instantly when Lan Xinyue suddenly thrust silver needles from her fingernails into their brows.
It's rare to see someone kill with such calm and beauty.
In the shadows, Nan Lingqin raised an eyebrow, clearly quite impressed with this Miss Lan.
"Miss, we acted quite well, didn't we?"
At this moment, the maids who had been surrounded and trembling with fear immediately stood up, eager to be rewarded, and showed no sign of fear at all.
