Chapter 153.
Jiang Ran didn’t even let Tang Yuyi rest properly this night.
He asked a lot of things.
Some Tang Painting Yi told Jiang Ran directly.
For example, why did he think that he could use the matter of the Flying Cloud Walled City to get Tang Painting Yi close to Jiang Ran.
This was because the Flying Cloud Walled City would inevitably make a move against the Cangzhou Mansion under the intimidation of the Heavenly Que.
And then Jiang Ran would also inevitably not leave from Cangzhou Mansion for the time being because of the Tang Family’s matter, and once they fell into entanglements with each other, then the Cangzhou Heroes’ Meeting would be the best time for ”Li Tianxin” and Jiang Ran to get acquainted with each other.
Before that, ‘Li Tianxin’ then needed to play his role well.
Establish a clear persona.
A somewhat cold, arrogant, and straight-laced Jiang Ran.
His purpose was not to capture people, but to investigate the Blood Tripod True Scripture, the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record.
Once in contact with Jiang Ran, she was also responsible for subconsciously giving Jiang Ran a somewhat different impression of the Devil Cult.
Not so much as to yell and scream at them as soon as they met.
She entered the Flying Cloud Walled City and was ‘tortured’ for a day.
That naturally couldn’t be true either.
It was just that the people of the Flying Cloud Walled City, and even Luo Qingyi herself, thought that she had been tortured for a day.
The truth was just as Jiang Ran had said, with her demonic sect’s ability to compel, she had only been in that cell for a day, watching the jokes.
In the end, she did it herself and made herself swollen and bruised, and only then did she get away.
This is also why, Jiang Ran after seeing her, her clothes intact, not half blood marks, but the reason for the nose, face and swelling.
The original plan was to get away and then blend into the Cangzhou Heroes’ Association, exposing Flying Cloud Walled City’s Li Feiyun’s cultivation of devil’s power, and thus rise to prominence.
As a result, he met Jiang Ran.
The Great Transformation Divine Blade was also used for the first time at that meeting.
At that time, she was really only a beginner at this blade technique.
As a result, the few times he saw her strike afterwards, Jiang Ran realized that her blade technique was growing by leaps and bounds.
That was because …… she was only a beginner.
And with this supreme talent at her side, she naturally improved by leaps and bounds.
Not only that, they had also pressed a ‘can’t tell’ persona on the ‘Li Tianxin’ person, making it seem like he was inextricably linked to the Demon Cult, and with that deep understanding of them, he wouldn’t be able to do nothing about it.
This, on the other hand, was to make Jiang Ran understand the Devil Cult better, thus improving his impression of the Devil Cult.
It was also considered to be, well, painstaking.
After the matter in the Cangzhou Prefecture was over, Tang Yuyi left first, but she actually didn’t go far.
She was always paying attention to Jiang Ran.
As a demon, she naturally has some extraordinary skills, so that Jiang Ran wanted to find her was not easy.
This is what led to the ‘coincidence’ of seeing ‘Li Tianxin’ again at the late-night gathering at Zuo Dao Zhuang.
Since then, ‘Li Tianxin’ hadn’t really separated from Jiang Ran.
It was only because after Jiang Ran’s battle with the Yang Yue Er Jun, Tang Wuyi realized that he had become more and more unpredictable.
If she did that kind of behavior in the past again, she was afraid that it would be a mistake.
Afterward, Jiang Ran asked her about the details of that Tian Ji Dou Shi Da Shifting Form method.
She also told the truth.
This martial art was exactly what Mr. Big had said, one of the divine arts that could change one’s appearance.
And it is also from the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records.
It was the topmost mastery of the Devil Sect.
Although it can’t create something out of nothing and turn a woman into a man completely.
However, it was easy to change the physical appearance.
If Jiang Ran hadn’t practiced the Creation Positive Heart Sutra, coupled with Tang Yuyi’s own tactics, it would have been a deception, and no one would have been able to see through her true colors.
Previously, she had also been hiding very well.
Unfortunately, the Ghost King Palace line, in the end, had pierced the soft underbelly of her heart.
So much so that after being frightened by the Ghost Cook, she used her own mastery.
She let the Ghost Chef eat himself, and then let those people in the Pin Xin Restaurant kill each other.
Later, when she sat in front of the restaurant and regretted that she had not composed herself, the Jade Prince came out to make trouble again, which led to the scene where the Jade Prince ran to the Soul Hooking Gambling House and twisted his own neck.
In fact, she would have been more or less a bit broken.
Because Jiang Ran had been more or less suspicious of her earlier, the Ghost King’s Palace, her behavior, but also self-disclosure.
Also because of this, today Jiang Ran called through her identity, she did not continue to disguise.
As for the Red Maple Villa, what exactly did she say to Zhang Zhiying and other trivial matters, Jiang Ran did not ask in detail.
However, it also explained why ‘Li Tianxin’ was so unfavorable to Zhang Zhiying.
After all, how could a woman, or a very normal woman, accept another woman showing her love?
Of course …… whether Tang Painting Yi was considered normal or not was still up for debate.
In addition to these questions, Jiang Ran also asked many things about Tang Shixiang.
But except for the fact that Tang Shixi is most likely in the Jin Yang House now, the other Tang Yuyi is all silent.
Either she talked about other things, or she spread her hands out and let Jiang Ran do whatever he wanted.
This kind of rogue behavior, Jiang Ran really can’t say how she will be.
Walking in the jianghu so far, although with this devil religion with not much.
But from all angles, the old drunkard and they really weren’t in a normal relationship.
Tang Yuyi said that his marriage with Tang Shiyi was to save his life.
Jiang Ran found himself unexpectedly unable to refute it either.
There was indeed a great possibility in this.
Otherwise, why would the old drunkard toss this trip again when he clearly knew that he would not live long?
It was just these questions, wanting to find a clear answer.
It was best to wait until they found Tang Shixi and the old drunkard, and let them personally explain it to themselves.
As for the Tang painting Yi …… nowadays, their relationship is really quite complicated, a thousand threads, Jiang Ran is not good to really give her means.
This matter, then also temporarily so.
But as long as she will control in the hands, not afraid of not get what they want in the end.
So, the night passed.
The next morning Jiang Ran went to the county office.
When he came back, he got a lot of reward money.
Now he really thinks, this knife catching order is really a good thing.
Once this order is issued, whoever’s head he says he got, that’s who’s head.
It was really too convenient.
Returning to the inn, he realized that Tang Yuyi was just like a nobody.
Still using the Heavenly Qi Dou Turning Great Shifting Form method, she had restored her appearance to that of ‘Li Tianxin’.
She was sitting at the table drinking tea while chatting with Mr. Big and Luo Qingyi.
Ruan Yuqing wasn’t within the lobby, and was thought to be resting in his room.
Jiang Ran asked Luo Qingyi to call Ruan Yuqing down.
Then he took out the silver tickets and started dividing the spoils on the spot.
Ruan Yuqing, seeing this scene for the first time, quickly waved her hands:
“No no no, I have enough silver on me to spend.”
“Don’t want it for nothing, don’t save it for him ah, he has plenty of money.”
Tang Wuyi snatched the silver ticket and put it in front of Ruan Yuqing.
Then she went to take it herself again, only to be slapped on the back of her hand by Jiang Ran.
Tang Yuyi looked at Jiang Ran dumbfounded:
“What are you doing?”
“How much effort did you put out yourself, don’t you have a count in your own heart?”
Jiang Ran blankly glanced at her, “The money in here, are you good enough to take it?”
“I ……”
Tang Yuyi thought about it for a while and realized that except for the fact that she had put out her hand when she was blocking those ‘evil ghosts’ that were controlled by the Soul Loss Compulsion, she hadn’t done anything at all the rest of the time.
Although the Ghost Chef and the Jade Prince were both killed by her, the problem was …… that those two people weren’t worth anything.
In the end, she could only skim her mouth and hugged a plate of peanuts and rice to eat hard.
She will also want to open up, anyway, Jiang Ran will not let her die.
The poison was only because he didn’t want her to run away, so she should be frank and eat and drink.
Anyway, her purpose of following Jiang Ran was to protect him, and to monitor him not to womanize.
Regarding the latter, in the past, she still had a bit of a reputation.
Now after this layer of identity has been pierced, there are no more scruples, and there is no need to be as stoic as before.
The time to say, just say it vigorously, as long as it is not heard by others on the good.
This way of thinking, on the contrary, is a lot more convenient than in the past.
After sharing the money with Luo Qingyi and Ruan Yuqing, Jiang Ran followed suit and ate and drank.
Just halfway through the meal, he heard a clamor from outside the door.
“What the hell are you doing?”
He heard the store assistant shouting at the top of his voice.
Following the voice, one could only see a man dressed in all black, standing squarely in front of the door, blocking the entrance to the inn.
Neither come in, nor let open.
So much so that the guests to and from the inn had to make a detour.
The store assistant saw it just now and felt that this was not the case, so he went forward to greet him.
Asked him whether he was staying at the inn, the result was that this person still did not say a word.
The store assistant saw this also a little annoyed.
Only then angrily out of the voice to ask.
But this person for the words of the store assistant, also is deaf, as if with the original did not hear the same.
The store assistant slapped his palm:
“Well well well, I don’t know where the scoundrel came from.
“If you have the ability, you can wait here!”
After saying that, he turned around and rushed inside the inn.
However, a moment later, when he came out again, a group of people were already following behind him.
Jiang Ran took a look and was almost happy.
The ones cooking in the back kitchen, chopping wood, washing vegetables, and scrubbing bowls were all about to be led out by him.
There were also two older matrons, mostly cleaning the bedding for the guest rooms.
In a group of people, the most vicious was a fat-headed, horse-headed chopper-carrying cook.
“That’s him!”
The store assistant pointed with his hand, as if he was a small child who had been bullied and found a parent as a backer.
This scene was not too common.
Jiang Ran and the others forgot to eat and watched with rapt attention.
Mr. Big, on the other hand, shook his head repeatedly, somewhat in tears.
The hanyou didn’t look up either, still turning a deaf ear to the words.
The cook gave a sardonic laugh at this:
“Where did this shrew come from, daring to come to our inn to spread wildness.
“From all over the countryside, you don’t want to know who I am, Old Li?
“Back then, I was a cook in the cottage, and this horse-head chopper has been with me for more than ten years, chopping up cows, sheep and pigs, as well as living people!
“Kid, if you leave now, it’s just a matter of time.
“If you don’t go, let’s see if your head is hard, or my knife is sharp!”
When the crowd heard this, they were all energized.
This is to roll up their arms and sleeves to stare at the slaughter of the living ah.
Only that Han remained unmoved.
Li cook frowned tightly, looked around, a moment a little down.
Immediately hey a sound:
“Well well well, there is a way to heaven you do not go, there is no door to hell since come to cast.
“And see my old Li’s ability!!!”
After saying this, he let out a shout first.
Immediately following the step forward, closed his eyes, and split a knife.
This slash is really hard to describe.
There is no pattern, no internal force, the accuracy is completely absent, the knife to halfway, but also regretted, the blade pulled back, the wrist vaguely shivering, seems to be unable to grasp.
Just heard a cry of alarm.
Li cook hastily opened his eyes.
As a result, he felt empty in his hand, and hastily looked around:
“I, where’s my knife?”
“Uncle Li, Uncle Li, your knife, it’s in his hand.”
The store assistant hurriedly reminded.
Li cook turned around, and really saw the horse head chopper that had followed him for more than ten years and had chopped living people, was in the hands of that man.
“You …… you give it back to me!”
Cook Li hurriedly opened his mouth.
He saw that han gazing at this knife in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he casually wiped and flicked his hand on top of the blade.
With a clattering sound, one side of the kitchen knife, which had been sharpened to the extreme, was directly flicked to him into crumbs all over the ground.
“This ……”
Cook Li’s entire body went numb, his legs softened and he almost gave a knee.
The onlookers watching the fun also froze.
This is not a shrewish scoundrel, this is obviously a good jianghu player.
“Good skill.”
Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly, “This person’s internal energy is fierce, just now when he reached out and wiped his hand on the kitchen knife, his internal energy had already shattered that blade. Subsequently, he flexed his fingers and flicked it, which completely broke it open.”
“How does it compare to Miss Ruan?”
Jiang Ran asked casually.
Ruan Yuqing shook her head:
“My Water Moon Sword Sect’s internal force is mainly Yin and soft, and it’s not all the way with this rigid internal force of his.
“Therefore, what he can do, I can’t do.
“What I can do, he may not be able to do either.”
Jiang Ran nodded, understanding what Ruan Yuqing meant.
At this moment, the shopkeeper and the others were all confused:
“This …… this …… then you, then you just stand here, we, we don’t care about you.”
“I ……”
The man pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
“Wait for someone.”
“Waiting for someone?”
The store assistant froze and nodded again in a hurry:
“I see, you old man wait slowly, or, why don’t you come in first? I’ll bring you a jug of good wine, let Uncle Li bring you two good dishes, how about you eat and drink while you wait?”
The man was silent for a moment and spat out one word:
“Poor.”
“…… ah?”
The store assistant didn’t understand at first, and after reacting, he hurriedly laughed:
“It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ll treat you.”
That Han shook his head at the words and thought for a moment, wanting to speak.
In the end, he still shook his head.
When Ruan Yuqing saw this, while her brows knitted slightly, she was suddenly blessed:
“Could this person be …… shying away from words like gold full of reputation?”
After saying this, she looked at Mr. Big.
She saw that Mr. Big did not know when, had already taken out a booklet and a brush, and was writing furiously.
Wanting to come over to see what he had written, Mr. Big hurriedly blocked it with his arm:
“Don’t look, don’t look! Heavenly secrets must not be divulged!”
“……”
Ruan Yuqing was speechless for a while.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, said thoughtfully:
“You guys say, could he be waiting for me?”
Tang Yuyi nodded her head repeatedly:
“Naturally, he’s waiting for you.”
When Ruan Yuqing heard this, she glanced at the burnt-tailed zither behind Jiang Ran and sighed:
“I didn’t expect that even this word-shy Jin had run here for the Jiao Tail.”
Luo Qingyi, on the other hand, clattered to her feet:
“I’ll drive him away.”
After saying that, he directly walked towards the outside of the inn and came to that Man Sheng Ming.
Man Sheng Ming looked up at him, and when his four eyes met he heard Luo Qingyi say:
“Waiting for someone in front of the inn, are they still doing business? Don’t underestimate the people of the world just because you have a few skills.
“Get out of the way!”
Man Sheng Ming shook his head, “No!”
He was also really as stingy with words as gold, definitely not saying two words when he could say one.
“Then don’t blame me for not being polite.”
Luo Qingyi grunted, clenched his single fist and abruptly sent it out.
There was an explosive sound in the air.
Man Sheng Ming looked up and his eyes lit up slightly:
“[Elephant Divine Fist]!?”
This was the first time he said four words, and the next moment he followed suit with a punch.
As soon as the two fists touched, there was a thumping sound.
Luo Qingyi’s face changed slightly as he stomped and retreated three steps in a row, and the last step landed, directly stepping on a green brick in front of the door.
Man Sheng Ming looked down at his fist and frowned slightly:
“Not fine.”
Luo Qingyi was originally amazed at this person’s martial arts, but at this moment, she heard this, but she was erect:
“Are you saying that I, am not skillful in my studies?”
“Right.”
Man Sheng Ming nodded and seemed to want to say something again, but finally hesitated and closed his mouth again.
“Outrageous!”
Luo Qingyi laughed angrily, taking a few steps forward, his double fists suddenly giving a dance as if there were a thousand virtual shadows.
Man Sheng Ming looked up and only felt that Luo Qingyi’s punches were like a big tidal wave, roiling the sky and heaving.
However, without taking a step back, his right hand flipped and violently explored.
In the next moment, a snapping sound was heard.
His palm unexpectedly passed through the heavy shadows and grabbed Luo Qingyi’s wrist, and with a turn of his body, he grabbed Luo Qingyi directly, spun around on the spot, and threw him back into the inn.
Luo Qingyi’s center of gravity was unsteady this time, and she retreated seven or eight steps in a row before she could barely stand.
For a moment, her face was green and white.
Just then, he heard that Man Sheng name say:
“Too bad.”
Luo Qingyi’s face was already ugly, and at this time, he was even more furious when he heard this:
“Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated!!!”
After saying this, he wanted to rush forward and fight with this Man Sheng Ming.
Just heard Jiang Ran’s voice came:
“Stop.”
Only then did Luo Qingyi regain her senses.
Turning back to look at Jiang Ran, and then at Man Sheng Ming in front of the door, he took a deep breath, clasped his fists, and returned to his seat.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, smiled and looked at Man Sheng Ming:
“This brother, this trip came to wait for someone?”
“…… Right.”
Man Sheng Ming nodded.
Jiang Ran then asked:
“Then I wonder, who is the person you’re waiting for?”
“You.”
Man Sheng Ming didn’t hide the slightest bit, although he was as shy as gold, and definitely didn’t say two words if he could say one.
But this bluntness was unexpectedly honest.
“Waiting for me? You and I don’t know each other, wait for me for what?”
“…… challenge.”
Man Sheng Ming looked behind Jiang Ran and clasped his fists:
“Win …… Jiao Tail!”
“Then what if I don’t agree?”
Jiang Ran was a bit curious.
Man Sheng Ming was instantly filled with consternation and asked in a panic:
“No …… no no no no …… no promise? For …… for …… for …… why?”
Jiang Ran and the others froze at the same time.
It was sort of understood why this person was called shying away from words.
