Chapter 795 - 795 Overbearing Snatch, Sikong Royal Family

795 Overbearing Snatch, Sikong Royal Family

This Lan Jiao actually knew martial arts? This was beyond Yu Wan’s expectations. It seemed that this woman could squeeze out the direct descendants of the Lan family and become the head of the Lan family not only because of her foxy methods.

Yu Wan’s eyes turned cold. “Return the Gu King to me!” As she spoke, she closed the folding fan in her hand.

Lan Jiao did not take the little girl seriously at all. She only glanced at the little girl indifferently. This glance stunned Lan Jiao.

Lan Jiao’s gaze was fixed on Yu Wan’s face.

Yu Wan understood what she was surprised about. She felt that her face was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she could not remember where.

Lan Jiao couldn’t remember, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She was in a good mood after obtaining the Gu King. She revealed a satisfied smile. “You injured my subordinate. I’m just asking for some compensation.”

Yu Wan said coldly, “You really know how to talk nonsense. Who attacked first? If I didn’t hurt her, I would have already died in her hands! Do you want me to not move and wait there for her to hit me?”

The Holy Envoy said angrily, “Isn’t it because you want to snatch the Gu worm from me?”

Yu Wan said with arms crossed, “That’s a fair deal. If you’re unwilling, you can pay a high price. As for who the shop assistant is willing to sell it to, that’s his choice. Could it be that you have to kill me just because you want to bid for something? To think that your Lan family is known as the number one family in the Nether Capital, but it turns out that you don’t even have this bit of upbringing?”

It had to be said that after interacting with Yan Jiuchao for a long time, Yu Wan’s mouth had become eloquent.

The Holy Envoy was speechless by Yu Wan’s retort.

If it were any other family head, they might have been embarrassed by Yu Wan’s words. However, who was Lan Jiao? She was a woman who could even snatch her brother-in-law without batting an eyelid.

It would be naive to expect her to sweat because of Yu Wan’s words.

Lan Jiao freed her hand. The maidservant at the side understood and handed her an emerald jade bottle from the shop.

Lan Jiao placed the little Gu in the jade bottle.

Yu Wan stared at her actions and frowned. “Lan! Don’t be too shameless! Aren’t you afraid of retribution for snatching so many people’s things?”

Speaking of snatching, Yu Wan thought of Yan Ruyu and Nangong Yan. Those two had come secretly snatched, but this concubine’s daughter of the Lan family had snatched it openly. Yu Wan finally saw what true shamelessness was.

In the Nether Capital, the strong were respected. Reputation was just something provided legal or political cover for someone that the weak had fabricated to protect their interests. It might be useful in the Great Zhou and Nanzhao, but it was not the case in the Nether Capital.

Whoever had a strong fist was the law.

Therefore, it was unreasonable to reason with Lan Jiao. If she snatched the thing she took a fancy to, she would snatch it. Even if Yu Wan had never had a grudge with the Holy Envoy today, as long as Lan Jiao’s palanquin passed by Yu Wan and sensed the Gu King’s aura, she would definitely snatch it!

Yu Wan also realized this and gave up on arguing with Lan Jiao. She only looked at Lan Jiao steadily and said word by word, “I’ll say it one last time. Return my Gu to me. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”

Lan Jiao seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed until her shoulders were trembling. “Girl, do you know who you’re talking to? I think you’re probably not from the Nether Capital. Where did you come from? On account that you gave me a Gu King, I’ll make an exception and remember your name.”

Yu Wan said seriously, “You’re not worthy!”

Lan Jiao circulated her internal energy and slapped her from afar! Asura, who was originally suppressed by the black-robed man and could not move, suddenly broke free and protected Yu Wan with his body. He was slapped firmly in the back.

Lan Jiao looked coldly at the black-robed man. The black-robed man bowed guiltily. He did not expect that the other party would still have the strength to move after he suppressed the Asura King who had just broken through to that extent.

However, that was all the Asura King could do.

Lan Jiao nodded.

The black-robed man attacked, intending to kill these two troublesome fellows in one move. Unexpectedly, a luxurious carriage carried by sixteen Asuras passed by on the street.

Of course, Asura was not written on Asura’s face, but Yu Wan had interacted with her Asura for so long and was already very familiar with his aura. Therefore, when his kind approached, she almost subconsciously recognized them.

However, it was precisely because of this that she was so shocked that she did not know what to say.

She had never seen a large number of Asuras, and they were even Asuras who sat in carriages for others. How noble was the person on the carriage?

“Young Master Sikong!” Lan Jiao, who was arrogant a moment ago, changed her expression almost instantly the moment the carriage appeared. She turned around politely and bowed, saying gently, “I didn’t know that Young Master Sikong would come. Sorry for not welcoming you.”

The golden gauze curtain fell layer by layer, making it impossible to see the appearance of the person in the carriage. However, that deep and domineering royal aura invisibly passed through the gauze curtain and landed on everyone.

Yu Wan did not hear the person in the carriage, but she guessed that he must have gestured something because the attendant in the carriage said, “My young master asks Master Lan, did something happen here?”

Lan Jiao smiled. “Ah, it’s nothing. I’m here to buy Gu worms for the Saintess. I’ve already bought them. I have to go back to the manor now.”

The attendant said, “Then I’ll take my leave.”

Lan Jiao bowed piously. “Take care, Young Master Sikong.”

The carriage left with a bang. The person sitting there was from the Sikong family. Unfortunately, she didn’t see his face clearly.

Yu Wan gathered her thoughts and wondered if Lan Jiao, this shameless and domineering person, would come and deal with her after the Sikong family left. Unexpectedly, Lan Jiao did not say one thing in front of her and another in the back. When she said that she would return to the manor, she really returned immediately.

“Consider yourself lucky!” Lan Jiao glanced at Yu Wan coldly and sat back in the carriage. When Young Master Sikong’s carriage completely disappeared at the end of the street, she let the guards return to the manor majestically.

It seemed that the Lan family was even more afraid of the Sikong Clan than they had imagined. From this, it could be inferred how powerful the Sikong Clan’s overall command in the Nether Capital was.

“Are you alright?” Yu Wan helped the injured Asura up.

She had been careless. She had never thought that Asura could also cultivate. Just like how no matter how smart a person was, they had to study to become the top scholar. She could not expect him to write an amazing article without studying for a day or a book.

The Dao of Asura was probably the same. She had always known that her Asura was a very talented Asura, but they had all become very mediocre “parents”.

Asura hugged his head in shame. He hadn’t protected Ah Wan well, and Ah Wan had been bullied. He did not protect the little Gu well. The little Gu was snatched away.

Yu Wan removed his hand that was holding her head. “It’s not your fault. Let’s go home first.”

Yu Wan brought Asura and the little munchkins who were waiting obediently at the stall back to the temporary residence. On the other side, Lan Jiao also brought the new Gu King back to the manor.

“This is really an unexpected fortune.” On the way back to the courtyard, Lan Jiao could not help but look at the jade bottle containing the little Gu several times.

The trusted maidservant asked, “Master, is this Gu King that powerful?”

Lan Jiao entered the courtyard. A maidservant walked forward to take her cloak. She walked into the house and said with a smile, “With the Lan family’s current status, they can have any treasure they want. If they’re not powerful, would I fight with a little girl to snatch it?”

At the mention of snatching, not only was there no embarrassment on Lan Jiao’s face, but she was also extremely proud. “I really didn’t expect that a little girl would have such a powerful thing in her hands. If Young Master Sikong hadn’t appeared just now, I really wanted to ask about that little girl’s background.”

The confidant maidservant asked in confusion, “Is she really not from the Nether Capital?”

Lan Jiao snorted coldly. “Does anyone in the Nether Capital dare to offend me?”

The trusted maidservant hurriedly said, “Master makes sense.”

“Who cares who she is? It’s her fortune to let me obtain a treasure.” Lan Jiao yawned and handed the jade bottle to her trusted maidservant. “I think it’s hungry, that girl bought so many Gu worms to feed it. Take it down and raise it well. I’ll go see Master.”

“Yes.”

After Lan Jiao left, the trusted maidservant took out the most precious Thousand Gu King in the Lan Manor. Because she had quietly raised it in the Lan Manor for a period of time, it was even higher-grade than the ones sold in the shop. However, for some reason, the little Gu did not eat a single bite.

“Aren’t you hungry?” The trusted maidservant muttered.

The trusted maidservant changed to seventeen to eighteen types of Thousand Gu Kings in a row, and the little Gu all resisted.

The little Gu went on a hunger strike.

This was not a good thing.

The Gu King could not eat for a long time, but that was only when it could not find food. If there was really something, it would not eat it. Usually, it was because this Gu King’s time was almost up and it could not eat anymore.

“It’s just a young Gu. How can its lifespan be coming to an end?” After hearing the report of her trusted maidservant, Lan Jiao snorted and decided to take a look personally.

Even when Lan Jiao came, the little Gu still did not eat.
