"Xiaochu, long time no see."
The woman spoke softly. She had not spoken for too long, and her voice was dry and hoarse.
"Well... long time no see."
Yanchu involuntarily took a step forward, wanting to get closer, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Yan Qing's raised palm.
Therefore, Yanchu said indifferently: "I didn't expect that I could see you here."
The woman was not surprised by Yan Chu's indifference. She stared at Yan Chu for a while and shook her head: "Young City Master...are you okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qing whipped him out of the air.
"See clearly before you speak. The person in front of you is the real Young City Master!"
The woman's expression was numb, as if she was used to the pain.
She stared at Yanchu without blinking.
Yanchu felt as if she wasn't looking at him, as if she was looking at something through him. Her eyes were full of nostalgia.
Yanchu suddenly felt sad.
Tinglan was once her mother's personal maid, and someone she trusted very much.
It was she who single-handedly brought up Cheng Yuan. When Cheng Yuan chose his maid, Ting Lan was also by her side.
In Yanchu's memory, Tinglan took great care of Cheng Yuan and was considerate. No matter what Cheng Yuan did, she would support him.
During the three years she had been a maid, Ting Lan was also something she envied Cheng Yun.
"she's fine."
Yanchu knew she shouldn't speak at the moment, but she couldn't bear to look at Tinglan's disappointed eyes.
Just think of it as repaying her kindness for taking care of her back then.
Hearing this, Tinglan smiled, that slightly raised corner of her mouth, light and gentle, the smile that Yanchu was most familiar with.
Snapped!
Another blow.
Yan Qing warned Yan Chu with a warning look.
"What happened in the beginning was all your fault. Now, after meeting the young city lord, you don't feel guilty at all, and you dare to mention that little bitch! If my guess is correct, that little bitch is you and Wei. Where was the bastard born?"
"Shut up!" Ting Lan suddenly raised her head, her originally calm eyes filled with anger.
"You are not allowed to slander Shao—her!"
"Haha, you bitch is really loyal. That's all. When the old poisonous demon elixir is completed, I will be the first to send you to meet your little bitch!" Yan Qing took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag and put it inside The liquid poured into the pool at Tinglan's feet.
The water in the pool suddenly boiled, and countless bubbles rose.
Tinglan's whole body twitched, and she couldn't help but scream.
"Master, what are you—" Yan Chu couldn't bear to look directly and had to turn his head.
"It's just some boiling gold water. Don't worry, her life will still be useful."
After Yan Qing finished speaking, he took Yan Chu and left without looking back.
…
Cheng Yan held his head in his hands, sweating profusely.
Ji Qiuyu was the first to notice that something was wrong with her, and quickly set up a soundproof ban to prevent Cheng Yuan's muffled groan from reaching above.
"Ah Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
When Cheng Yuan heard Yanchu say 'Aunt Lan', his head felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and then he heard the familiar voice of the person above.
Scenes of familiar scenes appeared in her mind.
She remembered!
Although it was the memory of the original owner, Cheng Yan still couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.
It was Ting Lan, the Aunt Lan who treated her very well on behalf of the city lord.
Ting Lan is a woman with an extremely gentle personality. She is usually taciturn and has almost no sense of presence. But he has been with the original owner since he was a child, and almost watched the original owner grow up.
She knew everything about the original owner and had the courage to hug her when he was sad.
It can be said that Tinglan was also an extremely important person in the original owner's childhood.
But the original owner completely forgot about it because of the illness he suffered after being beaten severely when he was eight years old.
Cheng Yan wiped away her tears and shook her head when she saw the worried eyes of the other people.
Not long after, the stone slabs beside the pool at Ting Lan's feet made a shattering sound.
The stone slab of the ditch was moved away, and a piece of grass poked out from inside.
After Lingfu Cao got to the top, it fished Cheng Yuan and others up one by one.
And Cheng Yan also rushed to the pond as soon as possible.
Ting Lan had completely fainted, and her face was completely covered by messy hair, but despite this, the familiar breath still made Cheng Yan burst into tears.
"Aunt Lan?" Cheng Yan said softly.
"Don't go there, the water in this pool is poisonous!" Ji Qiuyu stopped Cheng Yan at the right time: "The stone pillar behind her is also extraordinary."
Cheng Yan calmed down and stared at the boiling water below, then looked at the stone pillars under Tinglan's feet.
"Tsk, tsk, this is the Three Toads Swallowing Gold Stone Formation, specially used for imprisonment." Lin Jialuo took a breath: "What the Three Toads absorbed is the woman's spiritual power and cultivation, and then the longevity." , when the suction is finished, the woman will be dead.
Not only that, the insidiousness of this formation lies in its speed, which is almost like peeling off a cocoon, and the pain in it is unbearable. Isn't Master Yanqing jealous of this woman? "
"Is there any way to unlock this formation?" Cheng Yan asked.
Lin Jialuo thought for a while, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Cheng Yan: "I also saw it from above."
Cheng Yan took it and checked it, falling into deep thought.
Ji Qiuyu also took the jade slip, and after reading it, he took out an illusion talisman from the storage bag.
"This array of eyes is at the feet of the woman. If we want to save her, the illusion talisman can last for an hour. And what we have to do is to find the exit within an hour. Otherwise, when Lord Yanqing finds out, None of us can escape."
Cheng Yan came to his senses: "How did you know that I wanted to-"
"Didn't they all say it just now? If my guess is correct, this is Lord Tinglan from the former City Lord's Mansion. She is Lord Yanqing's biological sister."
After Ji Qiuyu finished speaking, Lin Jialuo and Yu Zimao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What, my biological sister?"
"Master Yanqing's vicious attitude just now cannot be justified by someone who killed his father and his enemy."
Ji Qiuyu glanced at Lin Jialuo pointedly: "You guessed it right."
"what happened?"
"We have to wait until we go out to talk about these things. Now Ayuan should think about the past and how to replace this illusory talisman."
Cheng Yan said: "I have a way, but I have to ask you for a favor."
"Easy to say, easy to say...just give me three hundred spirit stones later."
Cheng Yuan discussed with a few people and took out a spiritual weapon from the storage bag.
After preparing everything, she handed a bottle of pool water into Ji Qiuyu's hand, and then quickly shot out several silver threads.
The silver thread shot into the stone pile and made two slight 'ding-ding' sounds.
While Cheng Yuan handed one end of the silver thread to Yu Zimao, he jumped up, and with the help of the silver thread, he reached the stone pillar in the center of the pool.
Coming closer, Cheng Yan saw clearly that there were two large iron chains as thick as fists behind Tinglan. There were two sharp hooks at the front of the iron chains, which penetrated Tinglan's pipa bone.
Lingfucao wrapped around the iron chain at Cheng Yuan's signal, but she didn't want to touch it lightly, and Tinglan let out a muffled groan.
She woke up!
Ting Lan: Finally we meet, Young City Lord.
Cheng Yan: Ouch, I want to cry.
