Time can dilute many things.
After so many years, Jiang Lan actually doesn't have much hatred for her father, but she still holds a sigh of relief in her heart, waiting for the other party to apologize.
Hearing what Qi Canglan said today, Jiang Lan felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing Qi Canglan's expression was not right at the end of the chat, Jiang Lan instinctively felt that the Jiang family might be in some trouble, so she questioned her.
Originally, Qi Canglan didn't plan to say anything, but he couldn't bear Jiang Lan's questioning, so he could only sigh and say, "Recently, the Jiang family is really not having a good time..."
He spoke slowly.
The reason why the Jiang family was able to gain a foothold in Jinling was because Jiang Lan's grandfather, Jiang Tianyuan, was a master of transformation. With his own efforts, he raised the Jiang family to the ranks of Jinling's first-class families. Only recently, one of Jiang Tianyuan's deadly rivals returned to Jinling.
The enemy's surname is Hou.
The Hou family had a feud with the Jiang family many years ago. At the beginning, Jiang Tianyuan drove them out of Jinling. Later, they hid their strengths and bide their time, and unexpectedly cultivated a Huajing Grandmaster who was less than forty years old.
The Grandmaster of Huajing was named Hou Yong, and in recent years he had been ranked thirty-eighth on the list of Longguo Grandmasters. Because he only had eight fingers, he was also known as the "Eight-fingered Grandmaster".
As for Jiang Tianyuan, he only ranks in the 80th place on the grandmaster list. Although his ranking may fluctuate, compared to Hou Yong, there is definitely a big gap.
The most important thing is that Hou Yong is young and has greater potential in the future.
Speaking of this, Qi Canglan suddenly took a meaningful look at Lu Yun. He was very sure that Lu Yun was not on the list of masters, otherwise the world of martial arts would definitely be shaken.
After all, it is an incomplete statistics, and omissions are normal.
Closer to home.
This time the Hou family returned to Jinling, of course they wanted to settle accounts with the Jiang family. After several provocations, Jiang Tianyuan had no choice but to agree to a fight with Hou Yong. The time was set on the tenth of next month. The latter party wants to withdraw from Jinling.
Just like when the Hou family was defeated and withdrew from Jinling.
In this battle, most people are more optimistic about the Hou family, so those families that have business dealings with the Qi family have been quiet a lot recently, and some have even started to approach the Hou family.
Qi Canglan said with shame: "Actually, our Qi family has been waiting and watching recently."
After Jiang Lan heard this, she couldn't calm down for a long time. She didn't expect such a big event to happen to the Jiang family, but she didn't blame Qi Canglan, because such things are very common for martial arts families.
Moreover, this method of making an appointment to fight and bet is already very gentle. If there is no Wumeng pressing it, it is estimated that bloodshed may break out.
...
When the two were talking, Lu Yun was also listening, but his mood didn't fluctuate at all, as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him... Uh, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him in the first place.
"The group of guys in the Wumeng are really boring. They actually compiled a list of masters. They really have nothing to do when they are full." Lu Yun shook his head and said silently in his heart.
"Little Lu Yun."
While listening to the wonderful story, Liu Yan'er suddenly came to Xinglin Hall, found Lu Yun and said, "Come with me to the bar!"
"What's the matter, Sister Yan'er, haven't you already become a shopkeeper, why do you still want to go to the bar? Could it be that you are going to get drunk... Could it be that you, like Fourth Sister, have been hurt by love?"
Since the third sister became a cultivator, the bar was not taken care of, and she was directly thrown into the management of the people below.
Lu Yun guessed that the night suit hidden in her room had probably been burned by her.
For Liu Yan'er's behavior, Lu Yun finally summed up four words: not doing business properly.
"Love hurts your head!"
Liu Yan'er flicked Lu Yun's forehead, and dragged him away from Xinglin Hall without even saying hello to Lin Qingtan.
"What's the matter, third sister?"
Lu Yun saw her hurried footsteps, with a solemn expression, and had a premonition that there might be something really urgent, so he couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yan'er said: "Little Lu Yun, anyway, you already know my identity as an assassin, so I won't hide it from you. This time I'm going to meet someone. It's my upline in Shadow Pavilion, codenamed Eagle Eye."
After all, the Shadow Pavilion is a shady organization. It adopts a one-to-three small team model, and everyone uses code names to match each other, so as not to be taken over by one pot.
Liu Yan'er's code name is 'Night Rose', and the other three people in her team are Eagle Eye and Black and White Wuchang, the two who were killed by Lu Yun last time.
Yingmu is online, and he is the only one who knows the real identities of the three people. This time he found Liu Yan'er, if nothing else, it should be related to the death of Black and White Impermanence.
Liu Yan'er brought Lu Yun with her just to be on the safe side.
Lu Yun said: "Sister Yan'er, if you say that, doesn't it mean that as long as you kill that eagle eye, no one will know your identity as the killer?"
Liu Yan'er nodded: "That's true. Although Eagle Eye is also online, his online presence probably doesn't know my identity."
This kind of small team management model is not imprudent, even if a line below is terminated, it will not affect other people above or in the same group, unless it is peeled off layer by layer from the very top, but This is definitely a big project, enough time for Shadow Pavilion to react and adjust.
Lu Yun patted his forehead and said, "I just realized now that you and Seventh Sister should be at odds, and you've been living in peace for so many years?"
"Seventh Sister is the leader of the Central China Martial Arts League. I only found out about it a while ago, and I have done a good job of keeping my identity secret..."
As Liu Yan'er spoke, she gave Lu Yun a faint look: "It's not all your fault, you disrupted everything when you came back."
"Hehe, I have a sense of accomplishment when I say it this way...By the way, Sister Yan'er, why did you join the Shadow Pavilion in the first place, and why do you want to quit now?"
Judging by the attitude of the third sister, she is definitely not going to drink tea with Yingmu, she is clearly going to fuck him, because only by killing Yingmu can she truly break away from this killer organization.
Liu Yan'er said: "I'll talk about this later, wait for my mother to finish the important things first."
