This is what villains are like

This banquet can be described as a feast for the guests and the host.

After Shang Mingyu learned about Jiang Lan's purpose, he also dispelled many of his previous concerns.

However, due to her caution, she still kept a cautious eye and did not completely believe Jiang Lan's words.

She could also tell that Jiang Lan probably knew her special characteristics, so he invited her here.

The two of them are in harmony with each other.

He will not care about Shang Mingyu's affairs, and Shang Mingyu should not delve into his secrets.

Shang Mingyu only focused on the restoration of the country, so she would not cause trouble for herself for no reason, so she agreed readily.

There is no conflict of interest, so why make it unpleasant?

After such contact, she discovered that Jiang Lan should be a person who puts interests first like herself.

Although Jiang Lan has used his status as a playboy to hide his clumsiness and keep a low profile in recent years, he is definitely very ambitious and has great plans.

At least for now, there will be no entanglement of interests between the two.

"Although I am interested in that strange stone, I am not very interested. If Miss Hong is really determined to get it, I can actually help you." Jiang Lan said.

Shang Mingyu looked at him with her beautiful eyes, then smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Jiang is so kind, and the little girl is actually a little flattered."

"I think it's just a strange stone. In comparison, I would rather have Miss Hong as my friend." Jiang Lan said bluntly.

"Young Master Jiang said so. As your friend, it seems that the little girl is settled." Shang Mingyu said with a smile.

"The guy who auctioned off the strange stones must not be an ordinary disciple of Yijian Palace. I met him yesterday on the streets of the Imperial Capital, but for some reason, that guy seemed to hate me..."

Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, maybe the guy next will take the initiative to find Miss Hong."

Shang Mingyu was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

However, she soon understood what Jiang Lan meant. Did the disciple of the Yi Sword Palace who auctioned off the strange stones have a grudge against Jiang Lan?

She wisely didn't ask too much.

After the banquet was over, Shang Mingyu said goodbye and left.

However, both of them also left communication jade charms for each other, hoping that they might really be able to cooperate if there is an opportunity in the future.

"For now, there is really not much conflict of interest between me and her. In a certain way, she can even be my sword, a chess piece, or, to put it nicely, an ally."

Jiang Lan wanted to plot the fortune of the Xia Emperor and the national destiny of the entire Daxia Dynasty, while Shang Mingyu wanted to overthrow the rule of Daxia and restore the Shang Dynasty.

Both of them have a common enemy, that is Emperor Xia.

Before that, the two could naturally be called allies.

"You must be hungry, right?"

Jiang Lan returned his gaze and glanced at You'er, who was waiting obediently beside him.

"Prepare a new table of dishes."

He ordered someone to come and clear the table. Although neither he nor Shang Mingyu touched the dishes and only drank some wine, after talking for so long, the dishes were already cold.

"It's... still edible..."

You'er looked at the delicacies on the table. They were all foods she had never touched before.

Not only is the style exquisite, but it is also filled with a mouth-watering fragrance.

"It's already cold."

Jiang Lan stretched out his hand to indicate that she did not need to continue standing.

Hearing this, a trace of confusion appeared in You'er's amber eyes. Could it be that...can't you eat it if it's cold?

"Follow me from now on. You don't have to eat cold food anymore. These are just the leftovers." Jiang Lan knew why she was confused. It would be good to have something to eat in the arena. Where can I get hot food? Or cold.

"Master...Master, I'm so kind to You'er..."

"And... no... I don't dislike You'er." You'er lowered her eyes and twirled her fingers.

"Just know that I'm good to you."

"In this world now, I'm probably the only one who would treat you like this."

Jiang Lan reached out and rubbed her hair, which was as shiny as black silk.

You'er's delicate nose made a soft humming sound.

Soon, the food and drinks in the private room were replaced by another table, and they were even richer than before.

You'er has never seen so much food, and she can hardly move her eyes away as she stares at these dishes.

But because Jiang Lan was by his side, he still ate delicately, tasting it in small bites. When he ate delicious food, star-like light appeared in his amber eyes, which was very bright.

Jiang Lan looked at her like this, and she really looked like a greedy little cat that hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

He shook his head slightly in his mind. If it weren't for You'er being able to be used by him and bring him benefits and luck, he might not have been touched at all watching her die in the arena.

After all, like Shang Mingyu, he is a person who puts interests first.

It was already afternoon when we left Yun Lantai and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jiang Lan ordered someone to get a box of Xueyu Muscle Cream, which is a scar-removing elixir developed by the Imperial Medical Office. It is priceless and can make all scars on the body look like new.

In addition, he also asked for a bottle of three-turn marrow cleansing pill. Using the two together can basically restore You'er's skin to its normal appearance.

His father didn't ask much about You'er, and with his knowledge, he didn't necessarily understand You'er's special nature.

Jiang Lan had no intention of explaining.

Li Mengning followed his mother Li Qingshu and returned to Taiyi Sect yesterday, because the younger generation of the Li family needs Li Mengning to come forward to calm things down.

At present, among the Taiyi Sect's peers, Li Mengning is undoubtedly the strongest, and can be regarded as a gap-like existence.

However, the geniuses of the other two families of the Taiyi Sect have received many opportunities recently, and their strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

Some time ago, Li Daoyi almost lost at the hands of a true disciple of the Ji family who was not as good as him, causing the Suihan Li family to lose face.

Generally speaking, if a true disciple of the Taiyi Sect cannot easily suppress and defeat him when his level of cultivation is higher than that of his opponent, that is a problem in itself, not to mention that he is almost defeated. This is not surprising. His mother would be embarrassed.

If the two people are in the same realm and have the same cultivation level, wouldn't Li Daoyi lose directly?

The younger generation of the major immortal sects often compete with those in the same realm. For them, it is not difficult to improve their cultivation strength. Unless they are really far ahead and cannot catch up, otherwise they will pay more attention to those in the same realm. of combat power.

Jiang Lan is not very interested in paying attention to these. After all, his current real strength is already much stronger than those of the younger generation.

In the palace, mist drifted, and the incense burner was accompanied by bursts of incense.

Jiang Lan called a few maids, and after getting the Xue Yusheng Muscle Ointment and the Three Turns Marrow Cleansing Pill, he asked them to take You'er directly down and apply the plaster on her.

Although You'er has become accustomed to her scarred face, after knowing that these plasters can remove her scars, she can't help but feel a little hopeful.

After all, no woman can refuse a flawless skin and face.
