Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 328 I only raised them

Seeing Xue Tong's suddenly pale face, Xue Lan said helplessly:

"I told you before that Seven Butterfly Valley is full of things you're afraid of. I'll make you stay obediently in my sleeve."

While pulling Xue Lan's sleeve and walking forward, Xue Tong stubbornly insisted:

"Who said it's all things I'm afraid of? I like Yin Meng, and I'm not afraid of butterflies."

Xue Lan thought to herself, "You're only looking at how pretty the wings are. If I gave you a proper view, you'd jump up and break through the upper realm's restrictions."

Sure enough, for Xue Tong, beautiful things don't stand up to close scrutiny.

The group followed Xie Songyu forward, and Xue Tong was overwhelmed by the handsome men and beautiful women around her.

But when I think about it, their true forms are all...

The girl flinched, then tried to make conversation: "You just said she's one of the two protectors, so who's the other protector?"

Xue Lan gave Xue Tong a cool look: "So you were only interested in reading supernatural tales when you were in the Xuanhuang Sect?"

Xue Tong: "Otherwise, spend your time being more critical of yourself and don't worry about me!"

“The Crimson Jade Spider, also known as Red Jade, is another protector.”

Just as Xue Tong was about to say something, she saw the girl in black in front of them suddenly stop and turn to look at Xue Lan with a smile:

"I already know the purpose of Miss Xue's visit to Seven Butterfly Valley. As for the Scarlet Jade Spider, Seven Butterfly Valley owes you a favor."

Xue Lan smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I will accept this favor from Your Highness."

Xie Songyu was stunned for a moment.

Xue Lan's words, though not harsh, left her speechless.

It means you don't yet represent Seven Butterfly Valley.

As expected of Ling Yuanzi's disciple, this aura that makes people want to kill you is not something everyone possesses.

Xue Lan had a feeling that Xie Songyu, who was silent in front of her, was talking badly about her, but she didn't care.

Let them cricket all they want in private, since I can't hear it anyway.

The girl in black continued walking forward, and the group crossed a barren plain, where a vast sea of ​​flowers came into view.

It was like a dream.

Xie Songyu spoke again: "Young friend, those two children have already recognized you as their master, which is a great help on the battlefield of the desolate region. Why are you willing to part with them and send them back?"

Xue Lan looked at the various flowers and plants blooming around her and said, "Your Highness's words are somewhat biased."

"I did not form a contract with those two children. I was just keeping my promise to Senior Hongyu and raising them."

Xie Songyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Two Crimson Jade Spiders—this person actually managed to resist forming a contract with them and using them for his own purposes.

Xue Lan seemed to have anticipated the man's expression and thoughts: "Xue Lan has never really liked contracts. If she promised Senior Hongyu to take good care of her child, she would end up leading them into dangerous situations..."

The woman spoke calmly and sincerely: "Xue Lan is a legitimate disciple of a cultivation sect and would never force someone else to do something."

Lu Feng, who was standing at the end of the line stroking the petals, paused upon hearing this.

Xue Tong turned and glanced at him, the girl's voice echoing in her mind:

"Don't be sad. You are different from others. You are different from everyone Xue Lan has ever met."

Lu Feng: Oh! So this is a one-of-a-kind act of humiliation, huh?

Xie Songyu carefully examined Xue Lan, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. His tone softened slightly.

"By passing through this flower field, we will reach His Majesty's place. Young friend, if you have anything to say, you may ask His Majesty."

Xue Lan nodded slowly: "This junior understands."

The group walked through a huge flower field, at the end of which was a giant flower. Each petal was as big as the bamboo forest courtyard on Jiyuan Peak, and exquisite little houses were built on the fresh and elegant light purple petals.

Leaves form the walls, flowers the roof. It's like a scene from a dream.

"His Majesty is waiting for Miss Xue in the central hall, so I will not apologize further." Xie Songyu nodded slightly to Xue Lan, then turned into a dark shadow and disappeared in front of Xue Lan.

Xue Tong looked in the direction Xie Songyu had pointed out. It was the very center of the purple flower, where vines were wrapped around a wooden door. In front of the door stood a woman dressed in a light purple dress.

Behind her were two golden wings that folded together, gleaming in the sunlight.

Xue Lan took a few steps forward, stepping onto the vine-formed stairs first, and followed the path on the purple petals to the woman:

"Xue Lan from Jiyuan Peak of Xuanhuang Sect greets Senior Jun."

Jun Die looked at the respectful junior in front of her with a gentle smile on her face.

"No need for formalities." The woman in purple waved her hand gently, and Xue Lan felt a gentle breeze catch her arm and straighten her. The girl's gray eyes were now fully exposed to Jun Die.

The woman in purple was slightly taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "I have heard your name many times, but this is the first time I have met you."

Xue Lan asked casually, "Has Xue Lan disappointed you, senior?"

Jun Die turned and walked towards the main hall behind her, gesturing for Xue Lan and the others to follow.

The woman's voice was gentle, carrying a hint of elder's affection, which was very comforting to listen to.

"It's not exactly disappointing, just a little different from what I expected." The woman turned slightly to look at Xue Lan:

"I originally thought that the people who devised that method to kill the demons in Luoxia Mountain should not be as obedient as you."

Xue Tong secretly asked Xue Lan, "Does she have some misunderstanding about what 'well-behaved' means?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I'm good at putting on a good show in front of outsiders."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Tong found that Xue Lan's words made perfect sense, and she couldn't think of any rebuttal.

The next moment, she heard Xue Lan's voice: "Xue Lan has always been quite ruthless towards demons."

Jun Die nodded in satisfaction: "In this respect, you are very similar to your master."

The main hall was empty except for an incomparably magnificent throne placed on the throne, symbolizing Jun Die's supreme status in Seven Butterfly Valley.

The woman sat on it, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xue Lan, who had long since stopped in his tracks.

"What about the two children?" she asked softly.

Xue Lan slowly took out the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map from her sleeve and shook out the two little spiders, Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu.

Two tiny spiders, barely able to take on human form through illusion, had red, tear-filled eyes. The moment they saw Jun Die, they grabbed Xue Lan's skirt.

"Your Majesty, don't you want us anymore?"

"Is Your Majesty going to abandon us?"

Xue Lan suppressed the slight bitterness rising in her heart and spoke softly:

"His Majesty is going to the Wan Gong Fang (Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop), and he forbids bringing little monsters!"

"You're lying, you just want to abandon us."

"His Majesty is always like this! He never even asks whether we want to or not!"

Xue Lan's voice was a little hoarse: "Then you should also know that nothing will change."

Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu stopped crying immediately, biting their lips in grievance, their little hands clutching Xue Lan's skirt, leaving wrinkles on it.

Xue Tong, who was standing to the side, was already feeling unwell, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Xue Lan's voice was gentle yet firm: "You two stay in Seven Butterfly Valley and cultivate well, and produce more silk for the Lord. I'll come back to see you whenever I need materials."

Just as Xiaoyu was about to burst into tears, her older brother Xiaofei covered her younger brother's mouth.

The little boy had a very young face and voice, but his tone was firm.

"Your Majesty, we will obey. Don't lie to us."

Xue Lan smiled slightly:

"it is good!"

The tears that had been welling up in Xue Tong's eyes finally fell.

Xue Lan is someone who is good at saying goodbye.
