Si Minglan took out a few spiritual coins to buy candied haws, and with her other hand she pulled out a jade pendant from her bosom, whispering:

"The jade pendant I gave Zheng Mulin just now was my own, but he couldn't recognize the real thing. It shows that he has long forgotten Yin Qiaoqin, but he still pretends to be sad and affectionate. This person is deceitful."

"You guys need to follow me later, don't run around."

"Okay, Sister Si!" The three children nodded heavily. Si Minglan handed the candied haws to the three children, raised her slender hand, and a cloud of mist enveloped them.

After a moment, the four people disappeared.

Zheng Mulin, who was standing far away, was startled and quickly sent a cloud of purple smoke into the sky. Instantly, several Golden Snake Guards appeared around. The leader was tall and handsome, and was somewhat similar to Si Minglan.

Zheng Mulin said to him, "Chief Attendant, Si Minglan must have seen through me. I'm sorry."

The man sneered: "It doesn't matter, she can't get away."

Half an hour later.

More than ten miles outside Feiyun City, in a lush green forest.

Si Minglan fell from the air holding the three children, looked back, and her expression suddenly became extremely cold.

"Si Mingcheng, now that you're here, why are you hiding?"

The next moment, dozens of Golden Snake Guards and Zheng Mulin appeared around. The handsome man named Si Mingcheng walked out slowly, and his eyes fell on Si Minglan, but they were extremely sinister.

"Fourth sister, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown up to be so beautiful. The Jiaofangsi is really a good place."

Si Minglan protected the three children behind her and looked at the other party coldly, her eyes full of murderous intent, but her voice was mocking:

"Si Mingcheng, you slandered your own father, killed your own brothers and sisters, and turned into a beast. After all these years, you have only managed to become a captain of the guards? You are really a waste!"

This Si Mingcheng was also the son of Si Yuanwu, the great general of the Western Dynasty. However, he was born to Si Yuanwu and a prostitute, so he was considered an illegitimate child.

Later, Si Minglan's mother took them and their son into the General's Mansion.

There was no harsh treatment towards them.

However, no one expected that Si Mingcheng had always harbored resentment and colluded with Si Yuanwu's political enemies to slander Si Yuanwu, thus committing the treason case that shocked the Western Emperor that year.

As a result, the entire Si family was executed, and only Si Minglan, who was young, was spared.

However, Si Mingcheng advised the Western Emperor to send Si Minglan to the Jiaofang Bureau and make her an official prostitute when she grew up.

This led to Si Minglan's subsequent tragic experiences.

The two are half-siblings, but also sworn enemies.

Hearing Si Minglan's words, Si Mingcheng was furious: "Si Minglan, your mother is the principal wife, but she bullied me because I was a bastard. Your whole family looked down on me and thought I was a waste. What happened in the end? You all died at the hands of a waste like me!"

Si Minglan sneered: "People like you, even if your mother is the principal wife, you are still a waste and a beast."

"You!" Si Mingcheng pointed at Si Minglan, his face livid. After a pause, he suddenly burst into laughter:

"Fourth sister, you are still the same as when you were little. You never lose in a quarrel. So what? When Prime Minister Li gave you a fight, I heard that you cried very loudly. Minister Liu and General Xu also praised your skills. I will definitely let you continue to be the top player when I capture you this time!"

Si Minglan giggled and Si Mingcheng glared at her: "What are you laughing at?"

"How can I compare to your mother? I heard that your mother was the most beautiful prostitute in Cuiyan Tower and had dozens of men serve her in one night. Hey, are you my father's child? Are you the bastard of some whore?"

"Si Minglan!!" Si Mingcheng was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He had never won an argument with Si Minglan in the General's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, times have changed and Si Minglan will soon become his prisoner, but he still can't win the argument.

Si Minglan no longer paid attention to Si Mingcheng, looked at Zheng Mulin beside her, took out Yin Qiaoqin's jade pendant from her arms, and said coldly:

"Your sister thought of you till her death, but you even forgot what your token of love looked like."

Zheng Mulin stammered and lowered his head, too ashamed to answer.

Si Minglan sneered: "He is a disciple of the Feiyun Sect, but he is so heartless and ungrateful. He is worse than an ordinary person. Pah!"

Zheng Mulin suddenly looked up: "Senior Sister Yin was captured by Lingshi Mountain. Who is the young master of Lingshi Mountain? How can a woman who falls into his hands still be chaste? Even if Senior Sister Yin comes back, how can I, how can I be with her?"

Si Minglan shook her head, her eyes full of contempt: "You are cowardly, selfish, mean and narrow-minded. No wonder you haven't made any progress in your cultivation over the years. You are not even worthy of being a human, so how can you be worthy of cultivation?"

She suddenly threw the jade pendant into the air, and a stream of spiritual power shot out, breaking the jade pendant into pieces.

In an instant, it turned into jade rain all over the sky, falling on everyone's heads.

Zheng Mulin slowly stretched out his hand, and a few pieces of debris fell into his palm, and his palm trembled.

"Senior sister, senior sister, I, I...I'm sorry."

"Enough! You can't escape today no matter what!" Si Mingcheng waved his hand, and dozens of Golden Snake Guards surrounded him.

Si Mingcheng was also at the peak of the foundation building stage. These people formed a formation and locked onto Si Minglan and the three children.

"Sister Si, please go quickly, I will help you stop them!"

Yun Xing stood in front of Si Minglan, and a cloud bamboo appeared in his hand, with light appearing at the tip of the bamboo.

"No one can escape!" Si Mingcheng held a long knife and a green light shot towards Yun Xing.

Si Minglan pulled Yun Xing behind her and blocked the sword light with her white palm.

While she was in a stalemate with Si Mingcheng, the rest of the Golden Snake Guards attacked the three children. Yun Xing was quickly knocked to the ground, spitting blood. Yun Yan and Yun Yu were also captured.

Si Mingcheng said coldly: "Si Minglan, if you don't surrender, I will kill these three children!"

"Sister Si, you, you run!"

Yun Xing tried to stand up, but was kicked down by a Golden Snake Guard, who raised a knife towards him.

"stop!"

Si Minglan gritted her teeth and finally slowly put down her hand.

"I'll go with you."

…

Zhenyang Sect.

Xiyue Peak.

All the outer disciples gathered together.

Second Senior Sister Wei Wan was also present in person.

The selection for the outer sect competition will be held today, and five disciples will eventually be chosen to participate in the Six Peaks Outer Sect Competition in ten days.

Wei Wan was still wearing a simple green dress, with her long hair tied up, revealing her swan-like slender white neck, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was as gentle as water.

"Second Senior Sister is so beautiful!"

"Even if I can't be selected today, it's good to be able to take a look at Second Senior Sister!"

When the outer disciples saw Wei Wan, they all exclaimed in admiration, and even many of the female disciples had eyes full of admiration.

"I didn't get in touch with Si Minglan last night. Could something have really happened?"

"I'll ask Qin Gengyun again tonight."

Mo Xiaolan and Liusu were not in the mood to appreciate the beauty. They talked in low voices, both of them looking a little worried.

Last night, Mo Xiaolan heard what Wu Yiren said and knew that the Western Dynasty was hunting down Si Minglan. She went back and told Liusu, and the two of them had been using sound transmission notes to contact Si Minglan.

But Si Minglan never responded.

The primary election began soon. In fact, the rules were very simple. Two people would fight against each other. The loser would be eliminated, and the winner would continue to fight with the winner.

At this time, Wu Yiren was the first to stand up. He looked around with an arrogant look on his face, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Mo Xiaolan:

"Hey, you so-and-so, come out and fight me."
