As soon as Yan Yan entered the car, Jin Lanjiao immediately stepped forward and asked nervously: "Did he hurt you?"
Yan Yan smiled lightly: "With his little ability, he is still far from hurting me."
Sitting down in front of the coffee table, Yan Yan made a pot of tea, spread out the map and started to check the route to be taken next.
Jin Lanjiao sat quietly on the bed, looking at Yan Yan with her eyes lowered and serious, she couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Miss Yan, thank you."
Yan Yan looked up at her, smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Why do you want to thank me?"
Jin Lanjiao leaned forward and took the tea cup with both hands.
Holding the warm tea cup in her hand, Jin Lanjiao's heart calmed down as she thought about going home soon, and said softly: "I know you put the Diting phonograph in my bag, right?"
She listened carefully to the contents of the recording wall, including what Yan Yan said about her carrying treasures to ward off evil spirits, and what Zhang Bi said...
That day Zhang Bi came back and told her that evil spirits tend to target wealthy people. She had not yet been possessed by evil spirits at that time. Jin Lanjiao clearly remembered the scene when she took off the treasure. Although she was later possessed by evil spirits, what happened after she was possessed
She couldn't remember, but now that she had broken through the realm and the evil spirits on her body had been removed, the previous memories came back to her mind.
Zhang Bi's words were inconsistent, and he deliberately deceived her to lure her to take off the amulet. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to let her be possessed by a monster. Zhang Bi's intention to harm her was so obvious. If she continued to persist, it would be like deliberately slipping into someone else's designed trap.
Drill.
Although Jin Lanjiao cherishes this relationship very much, she still has some rationality in the end.
Although she learned the truth and was already on her way home, Jin Lanjiao was still filled with regret and could not wait to pursue her revenge.
Yan Yan quietly drank tea with her eyes lowered and said nothing.
Jin Lanjiao frowned: "How on earth did you see that he was so attentive?"
Yan Yan gently put down the teacup: "I don't have any basis, I just rely on intuition. This person was born with white eyes and black spots, which is not a sign of kindness and loyalty. His behavior is carefree and arrogant, and he lacks self-restraint. He is not like a person from a well-known family.
Man. But you are elegant in manners, gentle and virtuous, and you are from a good family. I couldn't bear to see you being bullied, so I took the opportunity to test him, but I didn't expect that he really had ulterior motives."
Jin Lanjiao sighed quietly: "I was so stupid. I ignored all the teachings from my father and mother since childhood. Now that I think about it carefully, there are already many flaws in this whole thing. This relationship cannot withstand careful consideration at all. I think
I should have noticed it a long time ago, but I was so stupid... Ouch!"
"Since he is a disciple of the White Mist Palace, by bringing me out, he will completely destroy the friendship between my Jin family and the Miao family. In this way, he, the White Mist Palace, will eliminate the Reincarnation Hall and have one less enemy to form an alliance with.
It’s done once and for all!”
When Jin Lanjiao said this, her cheeks turned red and her nails clenched tightly into her palms. She was obviously ashamed, angry and regretful.
Yan Yan raised his head and looked at Jin Lanjiao: "With your intelligence, when you first came out with Zhang Bi, you should have figured out that your family was at odds with the Miao family, so why did you still go with him?"
Yan Yan thinks that this is obvious because of the lice on the bald man's head, but it is common sense that girls in the period of passionate love often have lower IQs.
Jin Lanjiao shook her head: "When he first brought me out, the defecting sect was hunted down by the White Mist Palace Protector and more than a dozen disciples. Every part of his body was good, but when he came to see me, he was almost a bloody man.
I was moved when I saw how truly affectionate he was. If he hadn't stayed with me even though his life was hanging by a thread, how could I have left home so rashly."
Yan Yan sneered: "Hmph, those injuries on his body might be a trick his sect deliberately set on him."
After taking a sip of tea, Yan Yan frowned and asked, "According to what you just said, the relationship between Samsara Hall and Baiwu Hall is not on good terms?"
Jin Lanjiao nodded: "Well, among the several chief ministers of Hanxiang Palace, these two are from the Immortal Cultivation Sect. They are respectively in charge of the protection of the treasures and the auction venue of Hanxiang Palace. They have been fighting overtly and covertly over the years."
Yan Yan nodded, and then asked: "Apart from your family, the Miao family, and these two immortal sects, why are so few people hearing about the Nan Leikong family? His family seems to be one of the principals of Hanxiang Palace, right?"
Jin Lanjiao nodded: "Yes, the Kong family is one of the principals. Moreover, the current head of the Kong family, Kong Nantian, is a rare and upright person with quite a reputation. Kong Nantian has a wide range of contacts, including black and white mortals, and is very broad and complex.
. Because he is a fair man, he writes to Xiang Palace that whenever something cannot be decided, he will ask the head of the Kong family to mediate and make a decision, and the other families are all convinced."
Listening quietly to Jin Lanjiao's story about complaining to the officials of Hanxiang Palace, Yan Yan drank half a cup of tea and asked: "Is there any power from Tianbei Island in Juyan Castle?"
Jin Lanjiao frowned slightly: "Of course there is Tianbei Island, but they only opened a self-operated auction house, and the store is not big. It mainly sells spiritual weapons and elixirs refined on Tianbei Island.
We don’t interact with other merchants on weekdays. Apart from a small amount of medicinal materials business, my family rarely has any other dealings with Tianbei Island.”
Yan Yan was curious: "But I heard that Tianbei Island has extraordinary power in the entire Eastern Continent. How come Tianbei Island has no power in a major town like Juyanbao where merchants gather?"
Jin Lanjiao: "Tianbei Island is indeed very powerful among the Immortal Cultivation Sects, but they are somewhat different from other Immortal Cultivation Sects. For example, Reincarnation Hall and Baiwu Hall, although they are also Immortal Cultivation Sects, their sects are relatively
The sect is focused on profit. The sect has a chief executive who specializes in trade, and he is also very good at management. The annual income from spiritual stones is very considerable. It is also considered a wealthy sect among the cultivation sects. However, when it comes to cultivation, it is naturally incomparable with Tianbei Island.
."
At this point, Jin Lanjiao smiled: "Tianbei Island is a clean stream in the Immortal Cultivation Sect. The sect is orthodox and upright. It mainly focuses on cultivation. It never competes with merchants like us for profit, so it is well respected by all parties.
If such powerful sects start fighting, how can we survive?"
Yanyan nodded.
It seems that Tianbei Island has a really good reputation.
However, she was relieved to hear that there were no forces from Tianbei Island in Juyan Castle.
Mainly afraid of exposing Shen Yuyun's old wounds.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and after about a month or so, the caravan turned from the small road to the official road. The inns along the way became more and more luxurious, and there were obviously more caravans of all sizes.
Further forward, the official road becomes wider and wider. The road is specially ground with fine stones, covered with red kiln mud and pressed flat. Horses' hooves will make a crisp sound when stepping on it, which is quite as hard as tar.
The texture of the road.
The wide brick-red official road leads straight to a majestic and tall copper-nailed city gate at the end.
Yan Yan stood on the shaft of the carriage, built a pergola with his hands and looked at the big city from a distance. He saw the city gate going in and out, bustling with people, like clouds of merchants, and like a weave of pedestrians.
Within the city wall, you can vaguely see buildings standing tall, with cornices and arches, and flags flying...
