Chapter 1117

: When Xu Xiaolan Encounters Lan Xiaoni
Lan Xiaoni’s understanding of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was limited to what had been broadcasted on the news.

I heard that the Four Nine Immortal Sect has a Sword Pavilion. Could she be the pavilion lord of the Sword Pavilion, Liu Qianhuan?
Lan Xiaoni cocked her head to the side and muttered to herself as she enjoyed the beautiful display of swordsmanship.
She was using a special concealment artifact so that no one would notice her presence.
As such, she crept a little closer.

No, Liu Qianhuan is apparently a very energetic woman who likes to cosplay. She wouldn’t wear such a normal dress.
Lan Xiaoni finally eliminated one potential option after much thought.

She must be one of the renowned beauties of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. After eliminating Liu Qianhuan, she could only be Bai Ling of the Purple Star Pavilion, Xu Xiaolan of the Flame Pavilion, or Su Qianyun of the Moon Pavilion. Among those three…
Lan Xiaoni’s interest had been completely piqued, and she continued her process of elimination.

Bai Ling is said to be a big-sister-like figure who dresses in a white robe. Su Qianyun apparently does not wield swords. Then she should be…
The mermaid princess’ heart rate accelerated as she stared at the woman in the jade dress, and a peculiar light appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, a tender voice suddenly sounded from beside her.

Big Sister, what are you doing hiding behind a tree?


Ah!

Lan Xiaoni had her attention fully focused on the woman in the jade dress, and the voice that had suddenly sounded from beside her gave her a huge fright.
She turned and discovered an adorable porcelain-like little girl standing beside her.
The little girl was also startled by Lan Xiaoni’s scream, and she took a few steps back as her little face paled slightly.

You… How did you see me?
Lan Xiaoni was still a little flustered.

How did I see you?
The little girl cocked her head to the side.
With my eyes.

Lan Xiaoni:
…

Lan Xiaoni had no response to that.
Right at this moment, an extreme sense of danger suddenly erupted from behind her.
An immortal sword pierced through the air and hurtled toward her like a bolt of lightning!
Lan Xiaoni’s expression shifted drastically, and she immediately summoned her white ball as a shield.
A green figure flashed past and cradled up the little girl in her arm as her sword struck the white ball.
Boom!
The dual power of lightning and fire struck the white ball, upon which an earth-shattering boom erupted, creating shockwaves that had even cracked the fortified ground below open.
Lan Xiaoni felt an overwhelming power sweeping toward her before her body was knocked flying through the air.

Who are you, and what business do you have trespassing on our sect?!
the woman in the jade dress let loose a clear cry.
She was none other than Xu Xiaolan of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
The Dao plazas of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was a restricted area to guests, and this was a black-robed figure who was concealing both their aura and their appearance. This was quite suspicious, so Xu Xiaolan naturally had to investigate.
Lan Xiaoni was starting to panic a little, and she immediately turned to flee into the distance.

You aren’t getting away!
Xu Xiaolan spread open her Holy Flame wings and launched herself in hot pursuit.
The two of them exchanged several blows in the air, and Lan Xiaoni was forced onto the back foot, so she was unable to run away.
A pillar of flames fell from the sky and struck the black-robed woman, knocking her to the ground.
Their battle instantly alerted everyone within the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
An Lin arrived at the scene first.
He was completely dumbstruck at the sight of Xu Xiaolan forcing her Dragon Sparrow Sword against Lan Xiaoni’s neck.

What’s going on?

His underling had been caught by his wife?

Hurry up and come over here, An Lin, I caught an enemy spy!
Xu Xiaolan made a reasonable evaluation while her Dragon Sparrow Sword was still held firmly against Lan Xiaoni’s snowy white neck. It looked as if Xu Xiaolan was going to end her life if she dared to move.
Lan Xiaoni had already given up on resisting, and she turned to look at An Lin with a pitiable expression.
There was a hint of guilt and indignation on her face from having her cover blown.
An Lin’s head was throbbing at this sight.

Please let her go, Xiaolan!
An Lin extended a hand and yelled in the end.
Xu Xiaolan turned toward An Lin, and her brows furrowed slightly.
You know her?

Lan Xiaoni opened her mouth and was about to yell out
Big Boss An Lin
, but she resisted the urge to do so. She didn’t know if doing that would spell trouble for An Lin, so she decided to let An Lin handle the situation.
But how was An Lin supposed to deal with this situation? He could only take a deep breath and muster up his courage.
Put the sword down first, Xiaolan. This is all a misunderstanding! This is the woman I mentioned to you before, Lan Xiaoni of the Spirit Fish Clan.

Xu Xiaolan murmured to herself.
She’s Lan Xiaoni?

She turned to look at the black-robed woman on the ground and was met with the sight of a set of exquisitely beautiful features as well as a pair of bright, sapphire eyes. She was trying her best to remain calm, but it was quite easy to see how scared she actually was…
She was indeed extremely beautiful.
Lan Xiaoni was feeling quite unsettled by Xu Xiaolan’s intense scrutiny, and her body trembled slightly as she lowered her head like a little child who had made a mistake.
At this moment, Da Bai, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, and all of the other Four Nine Immortal Sect members had also arrived on the scene.
Xu Xiaolan’s expression shifted, and she withdrew her longsword before extending a hand with a smile.
It’s all a misunderstanding! Ms. Lan Xiaoni, I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time. I really must thank you for everything you’ve done for my An Lin.

Lan Xiaoni nodded with a blank expression before holding on to Xiaolan’s hand and standing up.

Hello… You’re Ms. Xu Xiaolan, right? I’ve heard so much about you,
Lan Xiaoni said as she also extended a friendly greeting.
Thus, Da Bai, Xuanyuan Cheng, and the others arrived just in time to see Xu Xiaolan and Lan Xiaoni in a joyous and harmonious handshake.
An Lin explained the situation to all of the other Four Nine Immortal Sect members.
Everyone actually already knew about Lan Xiaoni. There was no vendetta between them, so they quickly accepted this mermaid and made self-introductions one after the other.
Lan Xiaoni was extremely flattered by everyone’s friendliness and enthusiasm.
She had actually already mentally prepared herself to be shunned and even insulted for what she had done during Xiao Chou’s wedding. She didn’t think that the reality would be so different from what she had anticipated.
With this in mind, tears of joy began to flow down her face again.
Xu Xiaolan didn’t really know how to react to this. She made her way over to An Lin and pointed her chin at Lan Xiaoni.
Does she always cry for no reason like this?

An Lin nodded with a resigned expression.
She does. She’s very timid and cries very easily.


Even so, she still had the courage to risk her life for you,
Xu Xiaolan said.
An Lin was just about to respond when his heart suddenly jolted.
This was a trap!
