[System] Where is my vest?

Jiang Lan looked at the apprentice who was actively closing the door. After taking a hot bath, his comfortable bones were a little weak, and he yawned lazily: "So, what do you want to talk to me about, Xia Yan?"

"You recognize me." Xia Yan turned around slowly, with joy in his eyes that he didn't realize. He had been in Xuanwu City for several days, but Jiang Lan didn't show any sign after accepting his disciples, which made him I was sure that the other party would recognize my heart, but I became uncertain.

Jiang Lan leaned back, supported her upper body with her arms, restrained the urge to roll her eyes: "What do you think?"

Jiang Lan looked at Xia Yan's hesitant look, and asked again: "What do you want to know from me?"

Xia Yan opened and closed his mouth. He wanted to ask too many questions, but he didn't know where to start. He wanted to ask Jiang Lan for help, but suddenly realized that the other party was too busy to take care of himself. He thought a lot, and finally he realized that , the shortest of all problems is that he himself is not strong enough. If he has the strength of his master, he can take people out of the forest by himself, without having to hide his name because of those who covet mountains and rivers, and he can even help the people in front of him. people through the next difficult time.

"Let go."

Xia Yan came back to his senses suddenly, and found that Jiang Lan came to him without knowing why.

Jiang Lan pinched Xia Yan's chin, and said flatly: "You almost bit your mouth to pieces."

Xia Yan seemed to have been frightened by something, and hurried back a few steps. If there was no door behind him, he would definitely have sat down on the ground.

Jiang Lan's hands were hanging in the air, and she looked expressionlessly at Xia Yan who was leaning against the door and gasping for breath.

Realizing that her reaction was getting worse, Xia Yan took a deep breath: "I——just wanted to ask, is there any way to improve my cultivation?"

"A way to improve your cultivation?" Jiang Lan thought for a while. He felt that Xia Yan's problem might not be solved with a few words. It seemed that his time to fall asleep had to be delayed. On: "Cultivate honestly?"

Xia Yan and Jiang Lan looked at each other for a while, then said in a deep voice, "You know, this answer is not what I want."

The outer robe was loosely draped over Jiang Lan's body, and he said puzzledly: "If you don't say more specifically, how can I know what you want to ask?"

Xia Yan took a closer look at Jiang Lan, trying to find clues from his expression, but Jiang Lan was calm and composed, which made Xia Yan a little uncertain, whether he was pretending to be confused.

In the end, Xia Yan was defeated: "It's what you said about the Eight Spirit Roots, isn't that..." The anticipation in Xia Yan's eyes had already clearly expressed what he wanted to ask.

Jiang Lan thought about it for a while, and finally figured out the cause and effect of Xia Yan's words: "Do you think that becoming the eight spirit root can greatly improve your cultivation?"

Although Xia Yan didn't speak, Jiang Lan had already seen the answer from Xia Yan's face. He rubbed his temples with some headaches: "I don't know. If you want, you can try."

Jiang Lan was fortunate that Xia Yan didn't consider those ways to grow seedlings: "But you see, with more wind spirit roots, your cultivation has not changed."

"Xia Yan, there are no shortcuts in the journey of cultivation. There are gains and losses in everything." Jiang Lan thought of her own situation again, and added: "Even if it's not time and energy, it will be other things."

Xia Yan was a little surprised, "Other things?"

Jiang Lan said perfunctorily: "It's like potential, or a higher height that may be reached in the future..."

Xia Yan felt that what Jiang Lan originally said was not these things, but he saw that Jiang Lan didn't want to say more, so he nodded in agreement: "But if I want to have another kind of spiritual root, I need guidance. In addition to human spiritual power, natural talent Dibao should be fine too."

Being guided by people will create a connection with the other party. From this point of view, it is very important to choose a trustworthy person.But if he wants to have no worries, Xia Yan still feels that the treasures of heaven and earth are more reassuring.

"You can do whatever you want, why come to ask my opinion?"

Xia Yan bowed and saluted: "Then I will step down, Master, rest well."

On the second day, it was rare for Jiang Lan not to stay in bed, and received Jiang Yaru, using the same rhetoric he had agreed with the system.

Jiang Yaru asked: "Then you can know the situation of Jiang Lan's heart, so you will remind us at that time?"

At that time, it was naturally referring to Jiang Lan deliberately finding an excuse before Tianjizong's accident, telling Jiang Huainan and Jiang Yaru not to return to the sect.

"Well, as long as both parties are willing, we can share hearing and vision." Jiang Lan explained.

Jiang Yaru nodded and said, "Well, then Jiang Huainan should really stay with me."

With the warning from Gu Yuan, the former head of the Tianji Sect, Jiang Huainan and Jiang Yaru would not return to the sect after discussing the beast tide. Fortunately, the people in the sect were only staring at Xia Yan, and they all left the team without attracting attention.

Because of her own mother, Jiang Yaru secretly followed her back, but Jiang Huainan really went to find Jiang Chu and Song Xue.

Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, after all, he was not yet ready to meet his relatives.

Jiang Lan originally planned to ask Jiang Yaru to take Luo Su to find Jiang and his wife, but when he stepped out of the city lord's mansion, he changed his mind.

The city, which used to be bustling with people coming and going, is now a deserted and bleak scene, with shops on both sides of the street closing their doors one after another.

Jiang Lan said to Xia Yan who was following behind him: "I originally thought that if the distinguished guests from the Tianji Sect were coming, they should dress more formally, so I wanted to buy a new dress..."

There are two gates in the city of Xuanwu, and the two gates face each other far away, one leads to the forest of monsters, while the other faces the territory of the human race.

Now, the two city gates are wide open and unguarded.This is Jiang Lan's meaning - if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, and no one will stop you.

Xuanwu City was originally a city famous for its trade. The people in the city were very mobile, and there were very few permanent residents. For the people in Xuanwu City outside the city lord's mansion, this was a place for trading, not a place for fallen leaves to return to their roots. place.

Now going out of the city will definitely not be blocked, but it is hard to say whether there will be any blocking after going out of the city.

But Tianjizong did not hide its intentions for Xuanwu City at all. The news that Xuanwu City was in danger was known even to the people at the bottom.

Just when Xia Yan wanted to comfort Jiang Lan, he heard Jiang Lan's emotion again: "Fortunately, Ding Hong is too busy to go out, otherwise he will definitely be sad..."

Xia Yan didn't quite understand Jiang Lan's meaning, he just accompanied Jiang Lan silently, walking from one end of Xuanwu City Avenue to the other end.

Jiang Lan brought Xia Yan to the open city gate, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Now, you can go."

Xia Yan was taken aback by Jiang Lan's sudden action, but after he realized it, anger rolled in his chest, and he lowered his voice: "What do you mean?!"

What Jiang Lan did was not like letting Xia Yan leave because of danger, but that he thought Xia Yan would do so.

"Your doubts have been answered. Not to mention the benefits of staying, you may be in crisis." Jiang Lan concluded indifferently: "It's not worth it."

Xia Yan retorted loudly: "I don't have such an idea, nor would I have such an idea!"

"Really?" Jiang Lan's tone was indifferent, as if whether to leave at this juncture was not within his concern: "It's up to you."

In the next few days, Ding Hong clearly felt the strange atmosphere between the master and apprentice.

The little apprentice, who had been submissive before, was taken out by Jiang Lan, and came back as if he had been stimulated by something. Ding Hong gritted his teeth several times watching the apprentice and the figure of the master.

The apprentice seemed to have some conflict with the master, but what puzzled Ding Hong was that the apprentice was angry with the master, but instead of avoiding the master, he wandered around in front of the master all day long to show his own existence.

"Huh? Boss, do you think your apprentice is waiting for you to coax him?" Ding Hong patted Jiang Lan's arm and asked.

"Don't worry about him." Looking at the new information, Jiang Lan finally took the next step, sending three God Transformation experts to the direction of Xuanwu City, and these three are also strange. They used foreign objects to fly in the air, but instead these three people led the Tianji sect, just like mortals, they traveled at the speed of a tortoise in a vehicle that ran on the ground.

They didn't go to one place, and every place they stayed would be counted and written as information, and finally it was in Jiang Lan's hands: "How are you preparing?"

"No matter how you prepare, it's still the same." Ding Hong scratched his hair angrily: "What does Tianjizong mean by killing people without nodding their heads? What do they mean by hanging people like this?! Are they not afraid that we will run away? !"

"If the enemy fled without fighting, wouldn't it be better to show the power of Tianjizong?" Jiang Lan pointed to the contents of the newspaper and showed Ding Hong: "You didn't see that every place they passed along the way, every city lord and master The sect and the head of the family will greet them respectfully, and will offer countless treasures." This seems to be telling the people of the Tianji sect that to be an enemy of the Tianji sect is to be an enemy of the entire cultivation world.

"Ah!" Ding Hong yelled angrily, "I know this is a psychological tactic, but I can't help it!!!"

While Ding Hong waited eagerly, people from Tianji Sect appeared at the gate of Xuanwu City.

Because of the arrival of the Tianji Sect and his party, Xuanwu City regained some popularity.

At the gate of the city, Ding Hong was next to Jiang Lan: "Boss, why do I feel wrong?"

Jiang Lan also narrowed her eyes.

The group of Tianjizong saw a large group of people from a distance, but when they looked carefully, they found that there were much fewer people than expected, most of them were spirit beasts pulling vehicles, and there was a group of people on the trailer. a big box.

Although the vehicles pulled by the spirit beasts are not used to carry people, they still have complex and protective formations.The box is not an ordinary box either, it is made of spirit jade.

Jiang Lan's mind was not on the things in the box, but on the big red flowers on the box and the flying red silk satin in the team.

Jiang Lan folded her hands in her wide sleeves, showing no intention of going forward to greet her at all.

On the contrary, one of the Tianjizong people stepped forward. This person was not one of the three Huashen in the information Jiang Lan received, but the former Huashen powerhouse with Wan Qixuan.

Seeing Jiang Lan's face, Chi Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said sternly: "I, on behalf of my master, come to propose marriage!"

Jiang Lan looked at Chi Xiao's red hair, and frowned slightly: "Who is your master? Whose relative are you going to mention?"

"My master is Guhan Sword Master." Chi Xiao replied loudly: "The one mentioned is Jiang Yuan'er, the younger sister of City Lord Yin, who is also the relative of the Demon Emperor!"
