Chapter 454.

Jin Ge looked at Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi with a face full of confusion.

Not understanding how it was that he had recovered his memories in a haphazard manner?

As for the memories within the Lifeless Building, there was nothing worth mentioning ……

It was nothing more than practicing day in and day out and then assassinating the targets given on the list.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, inquired a bit more about the matter of the Lifeless Building’s owner.

It was a pity that the best of the best knew very little about her as well.

Back then, it was because she knew her identity and didn’t have any malicious intent, plus they shared the same goal with each other, and then they got on the pirate ship.

And during the days within the Lifeless Building, the chances of him seeing this person were few and far between.

Not to mention having any understanding.

Jiang Ran nodded after hearing this and told him to go back for now.

Everything would wait until tomorrow’s events were over.

Jin Ge left with a confused look on his face, but it was expected that after having the memories, he might have new ideas on how to deal with this matter of Bai Lu.

Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi were left in the room.

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you.

Finally, Tang Yuyi suddenly grinned:

“The owner of the Lifeless Building, if it’s her ……

“It can’t be.

“If it’s her, how could she kill you?”

What Jiang Ran was suspecting, Tang Yuyi knew very well.

That person had cooked Jiang Ran’s New Year’s Eve dinner, was a woman, and knew the martial arts from the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records ……

Plus, even until the very end, no one had seen the bodies of Lady Qingyang and Jiang Tianye.

What was in here was somewhat intriguing.

Even if Jiang Ran had some suspicions, it was only natural.

But …… in Lifeless Town, Jiang Ran was assassinated by someone from Lifeless House.

If that person was Lady Qingyang.

How could she kill Jiang Ran?

Even if all the people in this world would kill Jiang Ran …… only she would never be able to.

Jiang Ran lifted his teacup and wanted to take a sip, but then put it down again.

Wanted to speak, but the words reached the edge of the mouth, but swallowed back.

Finally he smiled and shook his head:

“If it’s her one day, she will appear in front of me.

“If it is not her words …… this kind of behavior, it must also have a purpose. Sooner or later, one day, the truth will also surface.

“At this moment, there is no need to worry about this.”

“…… Said so, but see you must still be unwilling.”

Tang Yuyi said, raising her hand, grabbing a strand of Jiang Ran’s hair and twining it around her fingers to play with it.

Jiang Ran gave her a bit of a tickle, so he cocked his head and snatched back the hair:

“To play with your own.”

“Cheap!”

Tang Yuyi rolled her eyes:

“Can’t you be more generous and lend it to me for a while? Big deal, I’m going to give it to you to play for a while?”

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:

“You’re going to give me some time to play? How?”

Tang Yuyi was about to speak when she suddenly felt something was wrong, then shook her lips:

“Brother-in-law, why have you turned into a denizen lately?”

“I didn’t start this head.”

Jiang Ran put down the teacup in his hand after all, and was about to say something else to skim over this one.

Just then, he saw Tang Yuyi put her face in front of him:

“Then I’ll come to you tonight, okay ……”

Jiang Ran instantly nodded:

“A promise is a promise, those who don’t keep their word are puppies.”

Tang Yuyi instantly glared:

“You think beautifully! There’s Ye Shocking Frost and Ye Shocking Xue in your room, plus me, can this bed of yours fit?

“In the future, I definitely have to ask a skillful craftsman to create a huge bed, otherwise, how can so many people …… sleep?”

“…… Shame on you?”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes and nudged her in the head:

“Yellow flower big girl, blindly say what dirty words.”

“With you, what is there to be concerned about.”

Tang Yuyi hummed, then asked:

“Tomorrow, what exactly do you plan to do?”

“Tomorrow ah …… tomorrow is actually a theater stage.”

Jiang Ran said with a smile:

“Someone has set up a stage and wants to sing a play, so let’s cooperate with them and finish the play properly.”

Tang Yuyi’s eyes rolled in their sockets, nodding slightly at the end:

“Then let’s wait and see, what kind of a good show tomorrow.”

“Hmm, right, are the things that I asked Elder Tang to prepare ready?”

“Ready.”

Tang Yuyi nodded her head gently.

Jiang Ran smiled after a slight contemplation:

“Then that’s it. ……”

When it came to evening this day, Jiang Ran was again invited out by Chen Mu and Zhen Cheng.

This time it was no longer to meet those who were not well known.

Instead, they really met some prestigious figures in the Jianghu.

The big powers in the Jianghu of the Qing Kingdom, collectively, were the six gates, two courts, and four families.

The four great families were the Ye Family, the Lin Family, the Xiao Family, and the Autumn Family.

The two academies were the Buddhist and Confucian academies, one being the Da Fan Zen Academy and the other being the Xuan Ji Academy.

Then there were the six sects.

Hundred Wood Sect, Shao Ting Sect, Game Sword Sect, Iron Palm Sect, Vajra Sect as well as Shadowless Sect.

The ones that Zhen Cheng and Chen Mu introduced to Jiang Ran in the evening were the experts from the Great Brahma Zen Academy and the Xuanji Academy.

Of course, after meeting the people from the Great Brahma Zen Academy, it was always unavoidable to mention again, the Three Monks of Quitting Evil.

At that time, Preceptor Delusion had followed Jiang Ran, and as a result, he had encountered the Winning Divine Blade.

Zhen Cheng had seen this matter with his own eyes and knew that it was not Jiang Ran’s doing, which was considered to be an endorsement for Jiang Ran.

The Great Brahma Zen Center could not find fault with Jiang Ran for this matter.

This night’s meeting, although it was a rehash of an old incident, Jiang Ran’s words could not be understood, and the people of the Da Fan Zen Center could not feel the pulse, so they could only leave the matter unsettled.

However, this meeting, Jiang Ran also and the people of the Da Fan Zen Center agreed to wait for the future will have time to personally visit the Da Fan Zen Center.

A group of monks gladly promised.

As for the people of the four families of the Six Sect, this is basically all here, but Zhen Cheng did not introduce Jiang Ran to the experts of the Hundred Wood Sect.

As for the other five sects, they were not even mentioned.

Apart from the Qiu Family, the other three families did not want to meet the guests.

This introductory session came to an end here.

In addition to flipping old scores with the monks, Jiang Ran had a good chat with a group of people from the Xuanji Academy.

This group of people had read a lot of books and had extraordinary insights.

It was very interesting to have a casual conversation.

Jiang Ran chatted with Mr. Qing Cang of the Xuanji Academy until midnight.

At night naturally do not see Tang painting Yi sneak drill to, small girl mouth bold, body bold small, Jiang Ran also had to let her off the hook.

I thought that this night will be here, the next morning, should go to ambush ‘devil religion’.

But did not want, Jiang Ran this side just sat down and Ye Shocking Frost said not two words of effort, outside the door came Chu Yuniang’s voice:

“My lord, have you slept?”

Jiang Ran glanced at Ye Jingshuang.

Ye Qingshen shook her head, indicating that she was unsure, so Jiang Ran said softly:

“Not yet, something is wrong?”

“Can I invite Your Excellency for a moment?”

Chu Yuniang’s tone was dignified.

Ye Jingshang let out a light laugh:

“I’ve seen her sitting still for the past two days, and I guess that, with tomorrow’s meeting just around the corner, she can’t hold it down any longer.

“She is in the end a descendant of Chu Nanfeng, she must not be neglected, you go, I’ll sleep first.”

“Good.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“Then you rest first, I’ll go and come.”

As he spoke, Jiang Ran stood up and walked to the door.

Reaching out and pulling open the door to the room, Chu Yuniang was standing outside the door playfully.

Raising her head to look inside the room, and meeting Ye Jingshuang’s eyes, Chu Yuniang gave a slight salute, and Ye Jingshuang nodded to her.

Jiang Ran laughed:

“Not sleeping in the middle of the night, running to my room to look for me, isn’t Miss Chu worried that people’s words can be feared?”

“How can people’s words be compared to Your Excellency?”

Chu Yuniang took a deep breath:

“Can the eunuch come with me for a moment? I have something I want to say to you.”

“…… Good.”

Jiang Ran nodded and followed her out the door, smoothly taking the door of the room with him.

Chu Yuniang walked in front, and Jiang Ran followed right behind her.

Seeing her figure in a graceful manner, without realizing it, she had lost a few points of the rigidity she had when she first met.

This caused Jiang Ran to reflect, if he treated her like this, was he considered to have worn down her sword intent?

The two of them, one after the other, finally came to Chu Yuniang’s room.

The room was lit with oil lamps, and after leading Jiang Ran through the door, Chu Yuniang closed it again.

Turning back again, she saw electricity in her eyes.

Jiang Ran’s eyes were flashing through a flash of surprise, Chu Yuniang had already arrived in front of her.

Before she could see the momentum, the sharp edge had already arrived in front of her.

It was a sword!

A very fast sword!

The moment one realized there was this sword, the sword was already about to penetrate the throat.

However, Jiang Ran’s speed was even faster.

With a flick of his fingers, he was about to hit the blade of the sword.

But right at this moment, Chu Yuniang’s sword blade suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Ran’s finger force broke through the air, and with a sudden sound, broke a hole in the paper on the window.

The firelight of the oil lamp set off ripples, it was Chu Yuniang who abruptly turned around, and the sword blade was already facing Jiang Ran’s calf.

Jiang Ran raised his foot, and that sword blade disappeared again.

Jiang Ran laughed at this, and sent out a palm in the right direction, the hunting wind rose, covering the sky and the sun.

Chu Yuniang’s face turned white, her palm created something out of nothing, the sword Qi steeply came out, pointing straight at Jiang Ran’s palm.

There was a bang!

Sharp sword qi and Jiang Ran’s palm force touched in a place, the tip of the sword in less than half an inch from the center of Jiang Ran’s palm after, it stopped.

Chu Yuniang had not lost the battle up to this point, she could still fight with Jiang Ran for a bit of internal strength.

But she has sighed, smoothly back a step, the hand long sword has been ground to the left hand, turn the blade behind the back.

Jiang Ran took a step forward, reached out and pinched her neck, pulling her in front of him.

Under the light, four eyes were facing each other, but the distance between the two was the closest it had ever been.

Jiang Ran’s exhalation when he spoke was something Chu Yuniang could clearly feel:

“You’re not afraid that I’ll kill you?”

“If it was the very beginning, I would be afraid …… I can die, but I can’t die this meaningless.

“But now …… I’m not afraid, because you won’t kill me.”

Chu Yuniang looked at Jiang Ran, there was really no fear in her eyes, she just said softly:

“Over these hours and days, I have been observing you.

“I found that you, a person who has always been very good to your own people …… and I, too, seem to have been taken by you as your own.”

“Don’t put gold on your own face.”

Jiang Ran was dumbfounded:

“You’re just my prisoner …….”

With his other hand, he traced over Chu Yuniang’s face, gently:

“In fact, if I’m willing, you’re more than just a prisoner.”

“But you are not such a person.”

Chu Yuniang said in a deep voice:

“I believe in my own eyes.”

“What the eyes see may not be true, and what the ears hear may not be false.

“Don’t be so easily certain of everything in this world.”

Jiang Ran released his grip on her neck and slowly sat down:

“You martial arts since recovered, what not go?”

“…… Going is easy, then what?”

Chu Yuniang smiled:

“To want to have this opportunity to be able to be with you at close range again, I’m afraid it’s only impossible.”

“Could it be that you’re still attached to it?”

Jiang Ran looked at Chu Yuniang with a smirk:

“This is somewhat surprising to me.”

“It’s not staying in love ……”

Chu Yuniang blankly glanced at Jiang Ran with some disgust:

“Everyone fears the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect’s Young Lord is right in front of me.

“If I don’t want to be beaten to death by you as soon as I see you, taking advantage of this chance that you won’t kill me yet, I want to stay by your side and take a closer look at you.”

“And then what?”

“And then decide …… how to treat you.”

Chu Yuniang sighed:

“I probably have a bad …… fate.”

“Tell me carefully.”

“In the past, my family’s ancestor, Chu Nanfeng, made a name for himself as one man in the world.

“Not just because of his overwhelming martial arts skills, but also because of his better luck.

“Before he ever got out of the jianghu, he met someone like you.

“Even when he went to challenge Wenren Tianzhong, who is the second best in the world, he did so after making sufficient preparations.

“If he and I are the same, just out of the jianghu not a few days of light was captured by the demonic sect’s holy maiden …… only afraid that there will not be later the world’s number one.”

Jiang Ran laughed loudly, then waved his hand:

“My Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, with her self-respect and self-love, wouldn’t go and capture a random man back. What’s more, it’s a nobody.

“As for your words, most likely you are also blessed with the remaining shade of your ancestors, which makes me look at you highly.”

“…… In that case, one really has to thank the ancestors.”

Chu Yuniang said here and Jiang Ran glanced at each other, but they smiled at each other.

Chu Yuniang laughed but then sighed:

“If the family ancestor knows that I’m arranging him like this now, in the future, I will die in battle in the jianghu, and in the nine springs, I’m afraid that I will also have to be scolded by the family for being unfilial.”

“Today’s people today, today’s things today, and the past, not half a relationship.

“Even if it is scolded, the big deal is that you also draw your sword with him?”

“…… Worthy of being the young reverend of the demonic sect, three words are not finished, and began to instigate me to bully my master.”

“Or you have this thought in your heart, otherwise, what can outsiders do to shake a person’s heart.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“Do not underestimate the determination and indifference within the mind.

“In the simplest example, there is a man who likes a girl, yet the girl doesn’t like him.

“Then even if the man does anything, the woman will not be swayed.

“Hearts that can be twisted in three words are often not so positive themselves.”

“…… This is unexpectedly surprisingly reasonable.”

Chu Yuniang glanced at Jiang Ran in surprise.

Jiang Ran, however, smiled:

“Alright, cut the crap, tell me, you recovered your martial arts and didn’t go away, and this evening it was even shown directly in front of me, in the end, what do you want to do and say?”

“I want to know …… what you want to do tomorrow?”

Chu Yuniang looked at Jiang Ran with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

Jiang Ran saw that she was so serious, so he said seriously:

“I intend to beat to death all the people of the Qing Guo Jianghu who are present in Qi’an Town.”

“…… Lying.”

“Truth!”

“No …… you’re lying to me.”

Chu Yuniang looked at Jiang Ran:

“Although your expression, tone of voice, demeanor, including the small gestures, are all telling me that you’re telling the truth, in reality, it’s also the case that the more your words are not believable.

“You, of all people, always like to tell the truth like a lie.

“Speaking falsehoods like truths.”

Jiang Ran looked at her in surprise, then frowned:

“This is not good ah …… you’d better go.

“Inexplicably being observed so meticulously, it always feels like something will go wrong in the future.”

“But what if I say …… I’m willing to join the Demon Sect?

“Will you still drive me away?”

Chu Yuniang suddenly spoke in a shocking manner.

Jiang Ran was not shocked, he just quietly poured himself a cup of tea.

He sipped it in front of him, then frowned:

“Cold?”

“…… Do you think that the tea in the servant’s room can be the same as the one in your room, with someone watching to change the hot tea for you every now and then?”

Chu Yuniang cried and laughed:

“If you don’t become an underling, you’ll never know how hard it really is.”

“In fact, my intention was not to have you saddle up like this, it’s mainly because you’re too cognizant of the work ……

“I didn’t say anything, you are busy on your own, I can’t dampen your enthusiasm.”

“…… Although I don’t particularly understand this, but inexplicably I’m very angry ……”

Chu Yuniang looked at Jiang Ran:

“How?”

This asked the same question she had earlier.

Jiang Ran then laughed:

“Interesting, this time if you really die, Chu Nanfeng in the nine springs, may really want to be immortal with you.

“Ancient and modern unfilial persons, are you trying to be the first?”

A hundred years ago, Chu Nanfeng, alone and with a sword, killed the Demon Sect’s main altar, led a large group of righteous good fighters, and broke the Demon Sect into pieces.

A hundred years later, Chu Yuniang actually told Jiang Ran that she wanted to join the Demon Sect?

This was a decision that betrayed the ancestors.

Chu Yuniang didn’t say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:

“I want a reason.”

“You.”

Chu Yuniang didn’t hesitate and directly gave a reason.

Jiang Ran touched his face:

“Although I am indeed very handsome, it’s really not necessary to be so ruthless for me.

“Beauty misleads people, it doesn’t discriminate between men and women.”

“…… Do you have to have some face?”

Chu Yuniang really didn’t hold back, but when she saw the teasing out of the corner of Jiang Ran’s eyes, she knew that the scene she had forced herself to hold up was in the end collapsed by Jiang Ran’s sentence.

She sat down with a bit of annoyance:

“You are indeed very good looking ……

“But it’s not like I want to join the Demon Sect because I like you.

“I just think …… that to a certain extent, we might not be enemies.

“The Devil Cult acts as it pleases and is treacherous.

“The only thing that can make the Demon Sect change is not a person, a sword, but the Demon Sect Demonfather.

“My family ancestor’s martial arts skills were so great that he was able to break the Demon Sect apart, but even with his best efforts, the Demon Sect was still a hundred-foot worm.

“Nowadays the world is about to forget the great achievements of the family ancestor, while the devil religion …… has risen again with the spring wind, and there is such a stunning devil father of your martial arts.

“It can be seen that wanting to decimate the Demon Sect by virtue of martial arts, this is not feasible.”

Jiang Ran gently nodded:

“Because …… the devil is in the heart.”
