801 Torturing Lan Jiao
Lan Jiao said slowly, “Girl, you’re new to the Nether Capital, right? I’m afraid you’ve never heard of the Lan family of the Nether Capital. Our Lan family’s ancestral business has been accumulated for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, the power of the Lan family has repeatedly expanded. In the entire Nether Capital, only the Sikong Clan can surpass the Lan family. You want to threaten the Lan family with just an expert? Girl, are you too innocent or too stupid? You didn’t escape before I captured you, but you actually dare to bargain with me here! You don’t know what’s good for you!”
Yu Wan was almost frightened by her. Fortunately, she was not easy to fool. Yu Wan smiled faintly and said, “If you really have a powerful expert, would you still waste your breath with me here?”
Did she really think that the Asura King was a cabbage on the streets? That she could get a large handful with her eyes closed?
Lan Jiao’s pupils moved.
!!
Yu Wan did not let go of any expression on her face and said indifferently, “I guessed correctly, right? You don’t have any more powerful experts in your hands. At most, two more Asura Kings will come, but my husband can kill them with just one finger. It’s not a problem for you to have ten or eight more!”
Yan Jiuchao liked these words.
Lan Jiao clenched her fists.
Yu Wan did not believe that the Lan family really did not have any experts left. Where the experts went was the key. They had caused such a big commotion, but they did not see the legendary Saintess. The other experts of the Lan family should be escorting the Saintess out, right?
“Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the Gu King!” Yu Wan reached out.
A cold glint flashed across Lan Jiao’s eyes. She quietly looked at the man who was always protecting the brat. The man was protecting this girl like he was protecting a child, making it impossible for her to ambush her even if she wanted to.
However, her daughter was coming back soon. As long as she stalled for a little time—
Lan Jiao smiled wantonly and said, “Do you know that the Lan family has a Saintess? Do you know what’s the outcome of offending the Lan family and the Saintess? In the end, you might not even be able to leave the Nether Capital. If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly. I can give you a sum of gold as compensation.”
Yu Wan touched her chin. “I tore down your wall, and you still want to compensate me with gold. Aren’t you not afraid of me? Why are you so guilty? Don’t tell me… you want to stall for time until your precious daughter comes back and wipes us out?”
Lan Jiao choked. When she met this girl in the shop, she thought that she was rash and brainless. Why did she become so smart in such a short time?
It was true that pregnancy made one stupid for three years, but she had suffered once. No matter what, she had to learn a lesson.
Yu Wan had heard Grand-aunt Lan mention that the Lan family had done their best to nurture the previous Saintesses, so the Saintess’ martial arts were definitely not bad. Other than the Lan family, there was also the Sikong Clan who protected the Saintess.
Yu Wan did not dare to underestimate her enemy anymore. It was best if she could not face the Saintess. However, her goal today was not for the Saintess’ blood.
Yu Wan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore. “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you handing it over?”
Lan Jiao sneered. “So what if I don’t hand it over?”
Yu Wan said, “Then we can only snatch it!”
Yu Wan had thought about it. Her relationship with the Lan family had actually torn apart from the beginning. There was no point in hiding. If they did not find the Lan family, the Lan family would not let them off. The reason why she did not expose them now was to prevent Lan Jiao from using the Gu King to threaten her and the Lan family to hand over the Lan family’s jade token.
Of course, they could also wait for a suitable time. When the Saintess and the little Gu were both there, they could use the jade token to exchange for both things. However, Yu Wan could not guarantee that the little Gu would not suffer any abuse in the hands of a woman like Lan Jiao.
Therefore, there was no time to lose to save the little Gu!
Qing Yan and Shadow Thirteen also understood what Yu Wan meant. Anyway, they had long fallen out. It was useless to pretend to be a grandson, and a roundabout method was even more unsuitable. It was better to snatch the Gu King back while the Saintess was not around.
When the Gu King was in their hands, they would not be in a passive position even if Lan Jiao discovered their identities.
These people were all prepared to fight to the death. They did not expect Yan Jiuchao to snort and had no intention of attacking.
Yu Wan winked at him.
He looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it.
Yu Wan silently stretched out two fingers and tugged at his sleeve.
Yan Jiuchao rolled his eyes. He didn’t want to save that little thing! It was always leaning on his woman! It was so annoying!
“Hubby ~” Yu Wan took out the skill she had learned from the little munchkins and acted cute. Her clumsy acting skills were simply shocking when she acted cute. Qing Yan and Shadow Thirteen’s hearts skipped a beat and they turned their faces away, unable to look at her.
Was that acting cute and not having a fit?
Even the honest Yue Gou covered his chest after taking a look. I was scared to death…
Yan Jiuchao also almost covered his chest. But he wasn’t frightened—
What kind of immortal cutie was this? It almost melted his heart, okay?
Yan Jiuchao was successfully charmed by his little fairy. He immediately gave up resisting and walked into the depths of the Lan Manor majestically.
Qing Yan looked at Shadow Thirteen bitterly. Is your Young Master blind?
Shadow Thirteen: I don’t know if it was in the past, but it’s basically true now…
When Lan Jiao saw Yan Jiuchao’s posture, she knew that he planned to use force. This person was so bold. The walls of the Lan Manor were demolished just like that, and the people of the Lan Manor were beaten up just like that. Now, he even dared to barge in. This was no longer an ordinary provocation, but a violation of the laws of the Nether Capital! Even if she killed this group of people on the spot, no one would dare to say anything!
However… that girl’s guess was right. The Saintess had gone out to train, and the most powerful experts of the Lan family had been sent by her to protect the Saintess.
Didn’t they say that they would come back at this time? Why was there still no movement?
Lan Jiao was anxious. At this point, it was no longer a matter of giving way to a Gu worm. Her authority had been provoked. If she did not take revenge today, the entire Nether Capital would be laughing at her tomorrow.
She could not become the laughing stock of the Nether Capital!
“Stop right there!” Lan Jiao looked at Yan Jiuchao’s back and gritted her teeth. “Do you know the relationship between our Lan family and the Sikong Clan? We’ve long been engaged with the Sikong Clan. The young master of the Sikong Clan will marry the Saintess in a few days. If you dare to take another step forward, the Sikong Clan will definitely not let you off!”
She could understand why he did not take her seriously. After all, she was the daughter of a concubine, and so was her father. Their family could only hold their heads high when the Saintess was born. However, they had yet to obtain the Lan family’s jade token, which made her unable to completely order the Lan family.
The Sikong Clan was different. Everyone who entered the Nether Capital was intimidated by the Sikong Clan!
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Yan Jiuchao walked back.
Lan Jiao smiled smugly. “At least you know—”
“Where’s your courtyard?” Yan Jiuchao asked her.
Lan Jiao : “…”
If Lan Jiao didn’t say anything, someone would naturally say. Shadow Thirteen had grabbed a maidservant and placed a sword across her neck. The maidservant’s legs went limp and she trembled as she pointed the way.
Yan Jiuchao brought Yu Wan to Lan Jiao’s courtyard. Lan Jiao narrowed her eyes coldly and suddenly turned around. “Saintess!!!”
Yan Jiuchao stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of Lan Jiao.
This was the moment she had been waiting for! Lan Jiao suddenly shot out more than ten hidden weapons. The hidden weapons exploded into countless silver needles that attacked Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao.
Shadow Thirteen drew his sword and blocked a wave, but the rest passed through.
“Young Master!” Shadow Six was shocked.
Lan Jiao’s internal energy might not be as good as the Asura King’s, but her ability to use hidden weapons was unparalleled in the Nether Capital. Even in her normal state, it was difficult to dodge, let alone that she had played a trick.
Lan Jiao was confident that her hidden weapons could take their lives. The hidden weapons attacked their robes. Just as they were about to penetrate their bodies, all the hidden weapons suddenly stopped in midair as if they were frozen.
Lan Jiao’s pupils constricted! In the next second, the hidden weapons she shot out shot back at her.
“Ah—” She was hit by one of the hidden weapons and flew back. Then, she fell heavily to the ground and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yu Wan looked at her in disdain. “To think that you, the head of the Lan family, would actually cheat!”
Lan Jiao was half lying on the ground, covering the place where she had been hit by the silver needle with her hand. She was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely.
Yan Jiuchao couldn’t even be bothered to look at her. “Let’s go.”
“Stop them!” Lan Jiao ordered. The guards of the Lan Manor surrounded them. Shadow Thirteen drew his sword and walked forward, stopping them with Shadow Six and Qing Yan.
This place was left to Shadow Thirteen and the others. Yan Jiuchao held Yu Wan and flashed into Lan Jiao’s courtyard.
Yu Wan sensed the aura of the little Gu in the backyard. When she followed the aura and found that the little Gu was actually locked in the most hated iron box and thrown into the most feared chicken coop, Yu Wan’s eyes turned cold.
“Who is it?” A guard rushed up to stop Yu Wan, but he was sent flying by Yan Jiuchao’s internal energy before he could even touch the corner of Yu Wan’s clothes.
Yu Wan hurriedly picked up the iron box containing the little Gu. Just as she was about to open the box, no sooner said than done, a white silk flew over from the sky, entangled Yu Wan’s wrist, and grabbed her.
