Chapter 184 I'm here to kill you!
The Lantern Festival is a rare grand event for the people of the capital. When Xue Lan and the others arrived, it was already quite late, and the lantern festival was already packed with people.
Children dressed in bright colors ran through the lantern festival, followed by adults hurrying by.
Xue Tong was about to rush into the lantern festival, but stopped when she reached the street and turned to look at Xue Lan, who was walking slowly behind her.
She almost forgot there was a blind man behind her.
The little girl turned around and took Xue Lan's hand, but the man stood still and didn't move.
Xue Tong asked, somewhat annoyed, "It's growing here?"
Xue Lan slowly shook her head: "I'm blind, I didn't come to see the lanterns tonight!"
As she spoke, the girl took out a money pouch from her sleeve and handed it to Xue Tong: "We're leaving the capital soon, go buy something you like."
Xue Tong took the money bag somewhat blankly, then heard Xue Lan remind him again: "Don't get kidnapped by human traffickers!"
Xue Tong knew Xue Lan was going to do something behind her back, so she stopped bothering her and walked into the lantern festival with her money bag. Halfway there, she turned back to Xue Lan and asked, "I won't get lost, will you?"
Xue Lan smiled and replied, "I won't lose it either!"
A little girl in a pale yellow dress skipped and hopped into the lantern festival, and Xue Lan's upturned smile slowly faded. She noticed someone walking up behind her.
A gentle melody sounded behind Xue Lan: "I asked Miss Xue's sister to tell you last time that I would like to be friends with Miss Xue!"
Xue Lan turned slightly, wrapping the light veil from the veil on the person behind her wrist, making her wrist itch.
Xue Lan naturally recognized the voice of the newcomer. The girl rubbed her wrist and frowned slightly: "It is fate that we met Miss Liu, but let's forget about being friends!"
"Xue felt uneasy seeing blood on the food he had worked so hard to make!"
Liu Mingyi looked at Xue Lan with slight surprise. She sized up the girl in front of her. Xue Lan was not tall and did not look like a martial artist. She was dressed in a simple white dress and looked calm and elegant.
Liu Mingyi sighed softly, "I really misjudged you!"
Xue Lan thought to herself that this had nothing to do with her judgment. After all, there were very few cultivators above the Golden Core stage who were willing to meddle in mortal affairs like Xue Lan.
Xue Lan didn't have much time, so the young woman bowed deeply in Liu Mingyi's direction: "I know that Her Highness the Princess is in the teahouse over there, and I would like to meet her!"
The smile on Liu Mingyi's face vanished the instant he heard Xue Lan utter those words. A short blade slid out from the woman's sleeve, and she raised her hand to stab Xue Lan...
But she couldn't lift her hand!
A layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Liu Mingyi's forehead.
What is this? Is it a martial arts technique or poison?
Why had I never noticed this before?
Xue Lan's face wore a gentle smile, which looked particularly terrifying in the dim light.
"Since Miss Liu is unwilling to make an introduction, then Xue Lan will go up and see for herself!"
Liu Mingyi was now speechless, only her eyes could move, as if she were frozen. She watched helplessly as Xue Lan walked towards the teahouse across the street like a fleeting breeze.
The girl's steps seemed very slow, but she entered the teahouse in just a few breaths. The tea drinkers and waiters around her seemed not to see her, letting Xue Lan enter the second floor of the teahouse as if it were her own home.
The second floor of the teahouse looked unusually deserted, with only three people present, including Xue Lan who had just arrived.
Xue Lan, and the Xie siblings sitting by the window.
Xie Xiao had been observing Xue Lan while the two were entangled down below. Now, upon seeing the person in question, he looked like a thin, sickly cat and smiled at Xue Lan, saying, "This immortal, would you like to come and have a cup of tea?"
Xue Lan wasn't surprised that he knew her identity. Judging from the scene just now, anyone who wasn't a little crazy could tell that Xue Lan was no ordinary person.
Now that she had already made things clear to His Majesty the Emperor, Xue Lan stopped pretending and moved like a ghost to the side of the Xie siblings. When her divine sense opened, she saw something familiar on Xie Lingchao's head.
That was a silver butterfly that Xue Tong had given her before.
What a lovely royal sibling pair!
Xie Lingchao and Xie Xiao are waiting for her at this lantern festival tonight.
If she doesn't come tonight, Yu Niang's house will probably be turned upside down tomorrow.
What is the reason?
Xue Lan thought of Liu Mingyi, who was still trapped below her, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
The reason Xue Lan was being targeted was because Liu Mingyi glanced at her while she was listening to storytelling at the teahouse today.
He truly deserves to be called an emperor among men!
Xue Lan pulled up a stool from the side and sat down next to Xie Xiao, speaking softly, "Your Majesty is in quite a mood, running around like a skeleton on the verge of death..."
"You look exactly like your father!"
The pale-faced young man looked at Xue Lan and replied in a measured tone, "Thank you for the compliment, Immortal Master. May I ask what brings you here to see me?"
Xie Xiao's question gave Xue Lan a lot to say. The young woman poured herself a cup of tea and looked at Xie Xiao with a smile.
"I am Xue Lan from Jiyuan Peak of the Xuanhuang Sect! Ji Jinjin is my third junior sister!"
Xie Xiao's face turned even paler, looking somewhat eerie in the teahouse lights.
Regardless of whether the girl was terrified, Xue Lan continued, "His Majesty bestowed the title of Princess upon Jinjin, which blocked her path..."
"I've come to kill His Majesty!"
As soon as Xue Lan finished speaking, the shadow guards hidden outside the teahouse drew their swords, their blades gleaming in the snow.
Xie Lingchao, who was opposite Xie Xiao, stood up and shielded his younger brother behind him.
Fortunately, Xue Lan only said one sentence and then did nothing.
Everyone remained on edge, wary that the immortal before them might suddenly turn on them and kill them.
"Cough cough!"
A cough broke the silence around them. Xie Xiao covered his mouth and coughed for a while before looking at Xue Lan and asking in a hoarse voice, "Does being an immortal mean you can kill mortals at will?"
Xue Lan laughed when she heard the question.
"You ruined my junior sister's cultivation path with the dynasty's destiny, so it's only right that I kill you. The only reason you're saying these things to me now is because Xue Lan is an immortal, an immortal that the imperial power can't touch!" The girl's voice was tinged with laughter, and her eyes were curved in a charming way, but her dark, piercing eyes seemed to suck everyone in.
After a long while, Xie Xiao glanced at Xie Lingchao beside him, and under the worried gaze of his elder sister, he slowly spoke to Xue Lan: "Then please, Immortal Master, make your move!"
Xue Lan smiled gently at the young man's calm gaze.
