She always maintained a gentle and elegant smile, especially towards Jian Lian Hui. Hugging her, he poured a bowl of nourishing sacred medicine and said with a smile: “You bullied my sixth brother and are so fierce. How can I take you away without piercing your scapula? Moreover, I risked offending the righteous martial arts of the Central Plains by ruthlessly killing four people and saving your life. You must pay a price.”
Jian Lian Hui was so angry she couldn’t speak.
Yan Zi Lian laughed to herself, patting the unfamiliar disguise on her face, and sighed: “Don’t be angry. I haven’t been this good to someone in a long time. It’ll probably take a while before they fully believe you’re dead. From now on, you’ll follow me. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.”
Jian Lian Hui’s pride was completely destroyed by this woman who always wore a gentle smile.
“Yan, Zi, Lian!”
Hearing this teeth-grinding voice, Yan Zi Lian raised an eyebrow in amusement, smiling sincerely: “I’ve long heard of your name. You’re only remembering mine now. But, remembering is good.”
Yan Zi Lian was easygoing and enjoyed teasing Jian Lian Hui. Her pride was extraordinary and may have some hidden intentions.
She brought Jian Lian Hui back to the city lord’s mansion. Old City Lord Yan Huan Xin saw his daughter half-carrying a woman and was shocked, almost rushing forward thinking his daughter was seriously injured.
Yan Zi Lian smiled: “Mother, sixth brother will arrive in two days. Her name is Jian Lian Hui. She was from the Central Plains before and now she’s part of the Yan family.”
Yan Huan Xin had heard of the Palace Master of Zhe Yue Palace and couldn’t help but stare. Jian Lian Hui’s face was pale, held tightly by her daughter, with an indescribable beauty.
“Lian’er, you’re really—too idle!”
Yan Zi Lian’s expression became slightly awkward: “Mother, I understand my identity. I’m clear about what I should bear.”
“Hmm. I have a few thousand-year-old ginseng and a Hundred Saints Pill. Take what you need.” Unexpectedly, her mother gave the Hundred Saints Pill to Jian Lian Hui. Yan Zi Lian joyfully said: “Thank you, mother.”
Yan Huan Xin waved her hand: “Go rest first.”
