Chapter 394 Frankness

Although both Shuangxue and Shuangxue found this matter embarrassing.

However, since Jiang Ran was confident, he didn't ask any more questions.

The three people searched among the ruins for a while and finally found the Star Reacher.

This thing is not stained with blood.

The man who was wearing a star-catching hand before had his fist smashed by Jiang Ran. After pouring out the dregs of his flesh, blood and bones, there was not even a trace of blood in the star-catching hand.

"It's so light, like cicada wings."

Ye Jingshuang put the star-picking hand in his palm and shook it gently.

From the outside, this thing looks like it has a metallic texture, but when you reach out and touch it, there is nothing hard or cold about it.

And it is as light as a cicada. Even after trying it on for a while, there was no foreign body sensation at all.

Jiang Ran took it over and put it on.

I found that this thing is indeed extremely clever. Fenghuo Lanshan probably wanted it to be worn by anyone with the size of a hand, so it left a certain amount of flexibility when it was built.

Ye Jingshuang's little hand put it on and it fit snugly, and Jiang Ran's big hand put it on, and there was no feeling of tension when it was opened or closed.

This made Jiang Ran have to sigh, Fenghuo Lanshan is indeed Fenghuo Lanshan.

After putting this thing away, Jiang Ran led Shuangxue and the two of them, along with Master Dao Yuan and Wu Qianzhong in the secret room, and left here together.

This time, Jiang Ran came directly to the princess mansion without any suspicion.

Find someone to lock up Wu Qianzhong and Daoyuan Zhenren.

Then he asked Shuangxue and Shuangxue to go back to rest, and he went to find the eldest princess on his own.

It was still early at this time, and the eldest princess had not yet woken up.

When they arrived at the door, the maid outside looked at each other, and then silently opened the door for Jiang Ran.

After all, their previous experiences told them that if Jiang Ran wanted to go in, he could go in at any time, and there would be no problems if he didn't notify him.

Even so, there is nothing to be polite about.

Jiang Ran entered the door, glanced at the direction of the eldest princess's bed, then came to the table, picked up the teapot, shook it slightly, and said:

"Someone is coming."

"Mr. Jiang."

The two maids outside the door came in immediately.

He didn't dare to see the eldest princess openly. He only dared to glance at her furtively while saluting.

I heard Jiang Ran say:

"Go make me a nice pot of tea."

The two maids quickly nodded in agreement.

The eldest princess is still sleeping, but Jiang Ran has no intention of leaving...

I don't know what the two maids thought of, but their faces turned slightly red before bowing and retreating.

The tea came quickly, and a moment later, the maid's voice came from outside the door.

After getting Jiang Ran's permission, the two maids entered the door.

Changed Jiang Ran to a pot of tea.

Jiang Ran opened a tea cup and drank it by himself.

While drinking, I looked at the bed.

At first, the eldest princess lay on her side to rest. During the period after Jiang Ran came in, she seemed to be sleeping in an iron pot, tossing and turning.

However, Jiang Ran didn't say anything and just let her writhe.

But I was thinking about how to talk to the eldest princess for a while.

He had a plan in mind.

But this plan requires the cooperation of the eldest princess.

It's just... once this happens, there are some things that two people need to be honest about.

But even though there was that time in Jinyang Mansion, someone from Xue Chan told him that the eldest princess already knew his identity.

But again...

Seeing may not be believing, let alone what others say?

If Xue Chan never told the eldest princess his identity, and the eldest princess really never knew about it.

Then because of Xue Chan's words, he came to have a showdown with the eldest princess...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

Jiang Ran sat there, drinking tea and looking at himself. The eldest princess couldn't sleep anymore.

I flipped the pancakes over and over again.

Now Jiang Ran not only looks, she also laughs...

How could the eldest princess continue to lie down?

Unable to help but stand up, he hugged the quilt and glared at Jiang Ran:

"Is it so funny that I am sleeping?"

"what?"

Jiang Ran looked at her, smiled and shook his head:

"No, no, there's nothing funny about sleeping. I didn't laugh at you either..."

"Then what are you laughing at?"

The eldest princess didn't believe it at all.

"I'm laughing at myself."

Jiang Ran sighed softly:

“I don’t know when I started to be cautious about doing things.

"I'm worried that some things are false, and I'm also worried that I've fallen into the enemy's trick. It's so ridiculous..."

"Ok?"

When the eldest princess heard this, she believed that Jiang Ran was indeed not laughing at her.

She frowned slightly:

"What's wrong with you?"

After saying that, he stood up. After hesitating for a moment, he came to Jiang Ran and looked at him with his head tilted, his face full of curiosity.

Jiang Ran clicked his finger on the table:

"What does the eldest princess know about the Demon Cult?"

Jiang Ran's topics seemed to be flying.

The eldest princess paused for a moment, then looked away slightly:

"Isn't it the same as in the past? I remember that we already discussed this issue when we were in Jinyang Mansion."

"Your Highness, do you know who I met and what I did tonight?"

"tell me the story."

The eldest princess sat opposite Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran glanced at:

"You are becoming more and more defenseless against me now..."

Of course, you don’t wear a lot of clothes when you sleep.

However, the eldest princess is quite bold sometimes, such as when she sits down...

After Jiang Ran's reminder, the eldest princess suddenly realized.

But if you turn around and change clothes in a hurry at this time, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?

She smiled faintly:

"When did I put my guard up against you?"

"Really?"

Jiang Ran looked at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was slightly startled:

"What you said means something...what happened?"

Jiang Ran tapped his fingers lightly on the table:

"Today during the day, I went to Dao Yizong...and found out that Dao Que was dead."

"what?"

Jiang Ran's opening remarks made the eldest princess almost ascend to heaven:

"What...what's going on?

"Dignified Imperial Master, how could he die? Does the Emperor know about it? Who killed him?"

"Listen to me and tell you slowly..."

Jiang Ran visited Dao Yizong this morning.

On the way, I met Marquis Wuwei and Yuwen Subaru, and then went to Dao Yizong. I talked about the things I experienced along the way.

The eldest princess was fascinated for a while.

Although Dao Que's method is not clever, it is very effective.

It's like Jiang then told Dao Que that his method was not very clever... but clever methods may not work. This kind of shabby method makes it easy for opponents to fall into traps.

However, until now, the eldest princess did not understand what Jiang Ran wanted to express:

"Since Daoyuan has been captured by you, and you still have a plan to deal with other blood cicada undercovers, everything is going smoothly."

"Eldest Princess, listen to me and continue..."

Jiang Ran took him and Dao Que back to his stronghold in the capital.

After saying this, the eldest princess was very surprised:

"You have other places to go in the capital?"

"how?"

"Does the golden house hide the beauty?"

"Not yet."

"What about later?"

"maybe."

"Humph……"

"Hum, you're a bitch."

Jiang Ran picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly:

"The accident also started at this time. When I searched Daoyuan, I found something... The name of this thing is [Secret Incense].

“It’s an excellent means of tracking.

"Then I waited for the blood cicada master..."

The eldest princess was even more happy:

"Wouldn't that be better? You can catch them all in one fell swoop..."

"That's what I thought at first."

Jiang Ran smiled and said:

“But the people from Xue Chan are very polite to me.

"They told me some things...so, I guess I will come back and ask the eldest princess."

"……What's up?"

The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran.

He saw Jiang Ran looking at him intently and said softly:

"Is there anything you're hiding from me?"

"..."

The eldest princess was silent for a moment.

Jiang Ran chuckled:

"It doesn't matter, if you really are hiding something from me, tell me now, and I promise to forget about it.

"But if you don't tell me the truth this time and let me investigate it by then, then from now on, you and I will be on the same road, each going his own way.

"Just pretend you don't know anyone!

"how?"

The eldest princess was even more silent. He laughed dryly for a while:

"Don't let others drive a wedge between you and me..."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran looked at her with a half-smile:

"What kind of relationship is between you and me?"

"...I am dressed like this and sitting across from you. What kind of relationship do you think it will be?"

When she raised her head, she was filled with emotions.

Jiang Ran just smiled and said nothing.

The eldest princess's smile also faded. She picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.

Once again he fell into silence.

"You can think about it slowly."

Jiang Ran finished the tea in his cup:

"When you think about it, come to me and tell me..."

With that said, he stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, the eldest princess finally couldn't help but shout.

Then he smiled slightly:

"Why are you so heartless, Young Master?"

Jiang Ran's footsteps paused slightly, and the sound of needle drops could be heard in the room.

The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran slowly turned around, with a faint smile on his face:

"Young Master..."

"I have known from the very beginning that you are the young master of the Demon Sect!

"The son of the former demon king Jiang Tianye!"

The eldest princess took a deep breath and said:

"You ask me what I am hiding from you...

"Only this one!

"Other than that, I have no reservations about you."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Isn't this enough?"

With that said, he sat down again.

Then he poured himself a cup of tea:

"The eldest princess is so courageous...

"How dare you actually tell me."

"No, I am not brave at all."

The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran:

“Otherwise, I should have been honest with you from the beginning.

“But I don’t dare!

"Although you are a knife hunter, you are the young master of the Demon Sect.

“With one order, the whole world may fall.

"Facing someone like you, it is impossible for me to be honest with you from the beginning.

“We can only walk on thin ice and investigate carefully.

"Getting to know you bit by bit... Only in this way can it be possible to create some affection between you and me."

"mutual affection?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

"...the love of friendship!!"

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and pointed out the key points, then she was silent for a moment and said:

"It's just that now, it seems that what has been given out is a bit too much, and it is not the same as the original idea."

"Then I dare to ask the eldest princess...what was your purpose in wanting to have some affection with Jiang in the first place?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said:

"Are you planning to take advantage of Jiang's ability to bring down the whole world with just one order?"

"Yes!"

The eldest princess nodded:

“The world is currently in chaos, and although my brother, the emperor, is trying his best to manage it, in the end he is unable to make progress and develop more.

"Since I know your identity, how can I not do something with it?

"What's more, you are still a knife hunter registered with the imperial court.

“I single-handedly promoted the Sword Holding Division, so it’s natural for me to become acquainted with you.

"And you...as a knife catcher, you also fulfill your duties.

"There are countless criminals in my hands... Actually, at that time, I was thinking that if there were all people like you in the Demon Cult, the world might not be what it is today."

Jiang Ran gently turned the tea cup and stared at the tea leaves inside, as if in a daze.

The eldest princess could not help but said:

"You don't really plan to be strangers to me because of this, do you?

“Although I have indeed concealed this matter...but haven’t you also concealed your identity?

"I can completely understand why you concealed it.

"The identity of the young master of the Demon Cult is too terrifying for ordinary people.

"I can understand that you don't want others to know.

"And when I don't know what kind of person you are, I naturally don't dare to expose this matter at will.

"What if you see the secret and I know it, and then you do something to me first, and then kill me?"

"You think highly of yourself..."

Jiang Ran curled his lips:

"What else...what else?"

"What do you mean by looking down on yourself?"

The eldest princess, Bo Ran, stood up all of a sudden, letting Jiang Ran appreciate what turbulent waves meant, and then said angrily:

"Isn't this palace worth it?"

Jiang Ran's eyes changed:

"It does make sense..."

"That's right...and, along the way, I have already shown my heart to you."

When the eldest princess said this, she glanced at Jiang Ran secretly and whispered:

"Between you and me, there is more than just friendship now? There has to be a little bit of affection, right... It's not enough when you take advantage, but now you are ruthless with me.

"Why don't you and I become strangers from now on..."

"Doesn't it mean that you have taken advantage of me, and then you turned around and wanted to run away?"

"Speak of business, and don't talk about useless things."

Jiang Ran glared at her coldly:

"Since you have known Jiang's identity for a long time, and later you confided in me, why did you never tell me the truth?"

"I naturally have concerns in my heart."

The eldest princess hesitated and said:

“Twenty years ago, I was still young, so I don’t know exactly what happened.

"But I also know...the reason why the Demon Cult is not out of the world now, and there is no trace of it.

“It’s because there was a battle between the Five Kingdoms and the Demon Cult.

"Your parents must have died in that battle.

"Although I have not been involved in this matter, it is inseparable from my Jin Chan royal family...

"I originally planned to... wait until the events of that year were investigated, and then I would show my cards to you and speak frankly.

"In the end, I didn't expect Xue Chan to use this matter to drive a wedge between you and me..."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran raised his head and glanced at the eldest princess:

"Have you re-investigated this matter after returning to the capital?"

"Ah."

The eldest princess nodded:

"Whether it's because the matter involves your parents' feud.

"Even if it's just for you... I can't let this matter remain unclear.

"I also know that the reason why you agreed to return to the capital with me is not just for the gold.

“After all, it’s not easy for a dignified young master from the Demon Sect to want money?

"So, while you have been investigating Xue Chan for a while, I will help you investigate the past events of twenty years ago."

After saying this, she stood up and walked to the desk.

He opened the drawer on the small cabinet on one side, took out a stack of paper and handed it to Jiang Ran:

“There is not much that has been investigated now…

"It is also because of my status that I was able to find these little corners.

"But there is one thing that you, as the young master of the Demon Sect, probably don't know at all..."

"what's up?"

Jiang Ran asked while flipping through it.

"There were traitors in the demonic sect back then."

The eldest princess spoke softly:

"This person leaked the whereabouts of Jiang Tianye and his wife, so they were attacked by many masters from the five countries...

"In the end, that's what killed them."

When the eldest princess said this, Jiang Ran had already seen the record on the paper.

The person's name was not written on it.

It's just called "black".

The person sent a letter to the Jin Chan Dynasty, and the eldest princess copied the letter. It read:

[Three days later, Jiang Tianye and his wife went to Luotuoling with their son. 】

[Accompanying him are the seven masters of the Demon Sect, the Master of Wenxinzhai, the Master of Seven Emotions Hall, the Master of Six Desires Hall and others. 】

[I have prepared the Flute Clan’s ‘Blood Gu’ in my luggage, making sure to hit it with one hit! 】

Seeing this, Jiang Ran raised his head and glanced at the eldest princess:

"This letter only contains this content?"

"Yes."

The eldest princess said:

"The original of this letter is in Jin Chan's secret vault. If you don't believe it, I can take you to see it."

"it is good."

Jiang Ran nodded:

"When are we going?"

"...You really don't believe it?"

The eldest princess's eyes widened.

"Master often teaches me that you can have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others."

Jiang Ran said:

"In view of what you hid from me before, should I trust what I say to you now? Of course I have to reserve it."

"...Then did your master say that you can easily be beaten to death like this!!"

The eldest princess gritted her teeth.

Jiang Ran smiled faintly:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"..."
