Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."

As soon as the man in black robe fell to the ground, he was hit by a barrage of bullets all over his body, and was riddled with bullets.

But snakes have very strong vitality. Even after being beaten like that, they were still alive. They fell to the ground, struggling and rolling, with a tail sticking out from their wide black robe.

Zhongli Xiao flew down and slapped the black-robed man into a pulp with a palm strike.

The big commotion here attracted the disciples on the mountain to come and chase the few remaining snake demons.

Seeing that the matter here had been resolved, Xie Jinglan took a pair of binoculars and wanted to see what was happening with the first and second elders, but saw that they were also rushing towards this side.

She landed the plane.

As soon as the plane landed, Zhongli Xiao also came over.

"Lan girl, it's a good thing you guys are here, otherwise this battle wouldn't be over so quickly."

"Hehe, Master, do you think I'm a lucky star?" Xie Jinglan gave him a mischievous smile.

"Of course, hahaha..." Zhongli Xiao laughed in a good mood, and a little arrogantly, "My disciple, Zhongli Xiao, is extraordinary."

"metropolitan."

The first elder and the second elder arrived one after another, with some blood on their bodies.

"Well, how are you?" Zhongli Xiao asked them.

"We are all fine. When that ghost thing saw it couldn't escape, it blew itself up and wanted to die with us. Fortunately, we hid quickly." The elder said with a serious face.

Zhongli Xiao's face darkened when he saw the snake-man corpses scattered all over the ground.

"It seems that someone has broken the formation again and released these snake demons." said the Great Elder.

At this time, Zhu Yichen came back after killing the snake demon, "Master, Master, are you all okay?"

"Nothing." The second elder's elegant voice sounded.

Xie Jinglan couldn't help but look at Zhu Yichen's master, the Second Elder.

Seeing his face, I was stunned.

She was so focused on the fight just now that she didn't notice the Second Elder at all. Now that she looked closely, it was really beyond her expectations!

A middle-aged man can look so elegant and extraordinary!

He looks no more than 40 years old, with handsome features and a fair complexion. He is dressed in a white robe and has a tall figure, as straight as a green bamboo. His whole temperament gives people a feeling of dignity and elegance, which completely surpasses those male stars in the 21st century.

Some male celebrities are obviously ugly, but they are praised for how handsome and charming they are.

Look at this one, he is truly handsome and charming, like a god who is not affected by the mundane world. I wonder what kind of family can cultivate such a gifted person.

Now I know where Zhu Yichen's aura comes from. It turns out that it all comes from his master.

The two are master and apprentice, but she feels that they are more like father and son. Except for their completely different appearances, they are the same in every other way.

I just feel like he's a little familiar, like I've seen him somewhere.

Seeing that she was staring at the Second Elder, Beitang Yuan reminded her, "Lan'er, this is the Second Elder."

Xie Jinglan finally came back to her senses and bowed to the Second Elder, "Greetings, Second Elder."

The Second Elder then turned to look at her, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment before he nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Yuan'er, everything is fine here. Take Lan'er back to rest first." Zhong Lixiao said.

"Yes, I'll send Lan'er back first and come back later." Beitang Yuan said and took Xie Jinglan's hand.

With something like this happening, I'll be busy today.

The two left by helicopter again, and when they returned to the mountain, the plane landed at the same place where they had stopped last time.

On their way to Beitang Yuan's residence, Xie Jinglan couldn't help but ask him, "Where is the Second Elder from?"

"Second Elder." Beitang Yuan looked at her with some confusion. "He's from the Shengjing Zongzheng family of our Yuyong Nation! How could you not know him?"

"From the Zong Zheng family?" Xie Jinglan was even more surprised when she heard this. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity. It turned out that he was from the Zong Zheng family. She must have seen him before.

"Yes! He is the only biological brother of the Empress Dowager. You must know these things, right?" Beitang Yuan asked.

"He's the Empress Dowager's only biological brother? He was also the only legitimate son of the Zong Zheng family at the time." Xie Jinglan was even more confused when she heard this. She really didn't know these things. No one had ever told her. "To be honest, I really don't know."

"You're still young, so it's not surprising you didn't know." Beitang Yuan told her some things about the Second Elder:

"The Second Elder has been gifted since childhood. He studied under the former Sect Master and often traveled in his youth. Like Senior Brother Zhu Yichen today, he was known as the world's greatest young master and achieved fame at a young age. However, he rarely appeared in public for the next thirty or forty years, and the younger generation rarely knew him."

"Since he is the only legitimate son of the Zong Zheng family, why didn't he inherit the position of the head of the Zong Zheng family?" Xie Jinglan was very puzzled by this.

"Perhaps everyone has their own aspirations!" Beitang Yuan was not too clear about these matters. "The current heir to the Zongzheng family business is from the lineage of the Second Elder's eldest brother."

The two of them talked as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Qingyun Pavilion, the courtyard where Beitang Yuan lived.

"Your Highness, you are back!" someone called them from behind.

The two turned around and saw that it was Beitang Yuan's servant.

Seeing him sweating from running, I thought it was because of what had just happened, so I went out to see.

The servant used the key to open the gate and helped them move their things in.

After entering the main house, Beitang Yuan said to her, "Lan'er, you can rest here first. I still have to go help. Those snakemen corpses need to be burned, and the formation needs to be re-set up."

"Okay, go ahead!" Xie Jinglan nodded.

After Beitang Yuan left, Xie Jinglan was still thinking about the Second Elder.

She couldn't understand why a position as the second elder of Xuan Ji Sect would make him give up the entire Zong Zheng family?

Even if he is indifferent to fame and fortune, I believe his family will not agree. After all, he is the only legitimate son!

Could it be because of the previous emperor’s fight for the throne?

She looked around Beitang Yuan's room and saw that the decoration in the room was simple yet elegant. Every item was not simple. There was a clothes hanger next to the bed with several fine clothes hanging on it. The decoration in the room gave people a feeling of tranquility and comfort.

There was a table by the window, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone neatly placed on it. A servant had just lit incense in the incense burner, and curls of green smoke rose up, filling the entire room with the faint scent of sandalwood.

"Miss Xie, please have some tea." The servant brought in the tea, his face dimpled as he smiled. "This is the first time His Highness has allowed a woman into his room."

"Oh? That means there were women who wanted to enter his room before, but he didn't let them in?" Xie Jinglan thought of those women who wanted to marry him, and they were all scolded harshly by him.

This guy has no mercy on women at all.

"Yes, even the Great Elder's Senior Sister Lingzhu is not allowed in." said the servant.

"Senior Sister Lingzhu?" Xie Jinglan thought to herself, could it be Beitang Yuan's bad love affair?
