[Sound Recording Stone] plays the arrogant remarks of Xiao Hui.

Hearing this sound, Xiao Hui's scalp felt numb.

In order to make Jiang Ping An quickly put away [Sound Recording Stone], he endured the heartache of cutting flesh and took out a Storage Ring from the world inside his body, which contained five thousand Spirit King Pill.

Throw it forcefully towards Jiang Ping An who is standing inside Hua Miao Lou.

"Hurry up and put [Sound Recording Stone] away! Then explain clearly to everyone that we were just joking!"

The most important thing right now is to suppress this storm as soon as possible to prevent the situation from expanding and affecting Young Master's reputation and his own future.

As for revenge on this "Long Ping", we will talk about it later.

Jiang Ping An stretched out his hand to catch the flying Storage Ring.

Divine Sense quickly scanned the inside and confirmed that it was five thousand Spirit King Pill. He put away the Sound Recording Stone in his hand very "honestly".

The sound playing over the imperial city stopped abruptly.

Then, he faced the growing crowd of onlookers around him and said loudly:

"Everyone has seen and heard it! Now, I have accepted this lord's Spirit King Pill, and this matter is over! He said that he will not come to the Imperial City Guardian Team to arrest me again in the future, nor will he casually frame me for charges!"

His "explanation" was like adding fuel to the fire.

Xiao Hui After hearing this explanation that completely deviated from his original intention, the anger that had just been suppressed suddenly surged again, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is not an explanation, this is clearly a reverse smear!

He was furious and shouted, "Who asked you to explain like this! I want you to tell everyone that the two of us were just joking! It was a joke! It was a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Ping An heard this and showed an expression of "I understand", nodded cooperatively, then faced everyone and explained again:

"Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood just now. This adult said that the two of us were just teasing me. Believe it or not, that's what I said anyway!"

His voice echoed over this area of the Imperial City, and his tone was full of teasing and irony, attracting more people to come and watch the show.

Anyway, the two sides have reached a deadlock and there is no room for turning around. This matter must be made bigger.

In the crowd, some people belonging to other factions of the royal family showed unabashed gloating smiles on their faces when they saw Guardian Team under Lan Jie Young Master making mistakes in public.

With this incident, it can be used as a handle to attack the other faction and bring down several middle and high-level officials in the imperial city Guardian Team.

Xiao Hui was so angry that he was shaking all over when he saw Jiang Ping An taking money and not doing anything.

He finally realized that this guy named "Long Ping" had no intention of settling the matter after taking Spirit King Pill from the beginning.

The other party is simply making fun of himself!

"You bitch..."

Xiao Hui turned pale as he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and Divine Power began to surge uncontrollably all over his body.

At this moment, a familiar and powerful aura rushed towards here from far away.

Xiao Hui looked back.

I saw that Lan Jie Young Master turned into a stream of light and was rushing through the air at an extremely fast speed.

Flying is prohibited in the Imperial City and is usually blocked by patrolling guards.

But Lan Jie, as Young Master, a direct descendant of the royal family, obviously does not fall within the scope of being governed by ordinary regulations.

With a gloomy face and a suppressed anger, he landed in front of Hua Miao Lou like a meteorite. His powerful aura silenced the noisy voices around him.

"Young Master..."

When Xiao Hui saw Lan Jie arriving in person, he was shocked at first, then felt a sense of grievance, and quickly stepped forward to salute and explain.

However, before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Lan Jie's eyes, and he raised his hand and slapped him hard.

"Idiot!"

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and Xiao Hui didn't even have time to scream. His whole body was blown away by the huge force, turning into a Little Black point, and disappeared into the sky, and he didn't know where he landed.

After slapping away this subordinate who failed to achieve anything but failed to do anything, Lan Jie took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He faced the growing number of onlookers around him, raised his voice, and said loudly:

"Everyone! It was my subordinates who misunderstood what I meant. My original intention was for him to invite fellow Daoist Long Ping to his residence to show his friendship."

"However, in order to complete the task, this idiot subordinate tried to force fellow Daoist Long Ping out of desperation, and even uttered arrogant words!"

"In the final analysis, this matter is my fault. I am not strict with my subordinates. I would like to apologize to fellow Daoist Long Ping and all of you!"

"After I return, I will definitely punish this subordinate severely and will never tolerate it!"

Although there was not much sincerity in his words, he did express an apology on the surface.

And, a "reasonable" explanation was given for the conflict that just occurred.

Everything was a "misunderstanding" caused by subordinates who misunderstood orders and wanted to rush to complete the task.

In this way, even if the blame comes from above, or other factions take advantage of it, they will have a reason.

While he was explaining loudly, he was also transmitting a message to Jiang Ping An.

"I know that the animal skin is on your body. Sell it to me at any price you want. I will accept any price."

Jiang Ping An had doubts and confusion on his face, and responded via the same voice, "I don't understand Young Master what are you talking about? What kind of animal skin?"

"Don't act stupid in front of me! Ding Han has already said that the animal skin is on you!"

"Ding Han? Are you talking about the Ding Han who explored the ruins with us back then?"

Jiang Ping An's face showed a look of indignation at being wronged, "So you are talking about the animal skin in Zhum Civilization Ruins! But when did I get that animal skin? He is clearly trying to divert trouble and frame him!"

He bet that Ding Han was not captured by Lan Jie. If Ding Han was not in the opponent's hands and could not search for the soul, Lan Jie could not be 100% sure that the animal skin must be on him.

Seeing Jiang Ping An's agitated expression after suffering an unjust injustice, Lan Jie's brows could not help but frown tightly.

Could it be that Ding Han guy is really lying to himself?

The animal skin is not on "Long Ping" at all?

Lan Jie stared directly at Jiang Ping An, trying to find flaws in every subtle expression change on his face:

"It's useless for you to hold that animal skin, and it will also bring you death."

"Don't think that I am trying to scare you. Inside that animal skin, the residual consciousness of almost all living creatures in Zhum Civilization is sealed, forming an independent world of consciousness."

"There's no special way, you can't control it."

"When I find the jar of Zhum Civilization and restart it, allowing it to resonate with the animal skin, the conscious world inside the animal skin will also be restarted."

"At that time, the chaotic and huge collection of consciousness in the animal skin will forcefully swallow your consciousness and annihilate your soul!"

After hearing Lan Jie's threatening and warning words, Jiang Ping An's expression remained calm and calm, as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him.

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't get the animal skin at all. The person who is really in danger should be Ding Han who is holding the animal skin."

Lan Jie stared at Jiang Ping An, unable to see any trace of fear or guilt in the other person's eyes and expression.

This made him even more suspicious.

Could it be that Ding Han really tricked him? Is the animal skin really not on this person?

"I hope you really didn't get the hide."

Lan Jie's voice transmission had a hint of coldness, "Otherwise, if you can't really control it, when I restart that jar and hold that animal skin, you will definitely die!"

The speed of sound transmission was faster than the speed of speaking. In just a moment, the two people completed the communication.

After finishing the transmission, Lan Jie continued to speak loudly to Jiang Ping An:

"In order to express my apology, I am willing to host a banquet at my residence to solemnly entertain fellow Daoist Long Ping. I hope fellow Daoist Long Ping can forgive this unpleasant misunderstanding!"

Jiang Ping An refused without even thinking, "Thank you Young Master for your kindness, but I still need to practice in seclusion in the near future. I really can't get away, so I won't bother you at home."

"If Young Master is really sorry and wants to compensate, why not just give me tens of thousands of Spirit King Pill, which is more realistic."

He could sense the murderous intent in Lan Jie.

Go to the other party's mansion? Isn't that like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

Only a fool would go.

Lan Jie put on a smiley expression on his face. "Haha, fellow Daoist Long Ping is joking. Since fellow Daoist doesn't want to attend the banquet, I won't force him. As for Spirit King Pill, I will go back and prepare it for fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist is welcome to come to the mansion to pick it up at any time."

If you want Spirit King Pill, there is no way.

If you have the guts, come to my palace in person.

After saying that, he stopped looking at Jiang Ping An. He seemed to feel bored when he saw the other person, so he turned around and left.

Jiang Ping An stood there, looking at Lan Jie's leaving back, frowning slightly.

For some reason, the Lan Jie in front of him gave him a very different feeling than when he first met him in the ruins.

He couldn't tell exactly what the difference was, it was just a vague intuition.

But he didn't know much about Lan Jie and couldn't be sure whether this feeling was accurate.

However, the other party seemed to know Zhum Civilization very well, and actually knew that there was a world of consciousness inside the animal skin.

And, also know that the mysterious jar is needed to activate the hide.

Did he learn this secret information from those ancient books?

If what Lan Jie said about the dangers of animal skins is true, will animal skins pose a threat to myself?

Probably not.

After all, the premise of Lan Jie's warning is "without mastering the animal hide."

As for myself, I have established a connection with the animal hide by integrating into Mummy Soul Tree Fragment, and I have "mastered" it to a certain extent.

This was obviously something Lan Jie had not expected.

This matter has come to an end for the time being, but Jiang Ping An knows in his heart that it is far from over.

If Ding Han is eventually caught by Lan Jie and the other party searches for his soul, the fact that the animal skin is on his body will definitely be exposed.

He could only hope that Ding Han guy had either run far away and out of Lan Jie's pursuit range; or he could simply run up to him and help him end the pursuit.

Not long after, a familiar figure hurried over.

It is Lan Shi'er.

She seemed to be aware of the conflict that had just occurred at the door of Hua Miao Lou. With concern and unresolved anger on her face, she quickly asked what happened.

Jiang Ping An took him into Hua Miao Lou's box and briefly told her what happened.

After learning the whole story, Lan Shi'er was so angry that his face turned red and he said angrily:

"These guys are so tyrannical with the power in their hands. It's really disgusting! If uncle, you weren't smart and alert enough to leave evidence in advance and make the matter bigger, you would definitely be in big trouble today!"

If this kind of thing happened to an ordinary person with no background, he would be forcibly charged by Guardian Team without even a chance to resist. The end can be imagined.

"Uncle, don't worry! We can't just let this matter go! I'll go back and find trouble with this Lan Jie and his gang! We must teach them a lesson!"

Lan Shi'er clenched his fists and spoke firmly.

She is no longer the little girl who was bullied at the bottom of the royal family and unable to resist.

Her Talent was not only fully restored, but also strengthened.

Looking at the entire Lan Clan Royal Family, there are not many people who can compete with her on Talent.

And all these changes are inseparable from the man in front of me.

Without uncle, there would be no Lan Shi'er that has been reborn today.

Now, her uncle was being humiliated and threatened under her nose. How could she sit idly by?

Jiang Ping An felt warm in his heart when he saw Lan Shi'er looking so angry and looking like he wanted to stand up for himself.

But he still shook his head and gently dissuaded. "There is no need to go into a head-on conflict over this kind of thing, which will only cause more trouble. The most important thing for you now is to practice peacefully, improve your strength, and don't be disturbed by these external affairs."

"I'm working very hard now!"

Lan Shi'er raised his head and looked at Jiang Ping An, his eyes shining with longing, "Perhaps, one day in Future, Shi'er will become Lord God! At that time, let me see who dares to bully the uncle! Whoever dares to bully the uncle, Shi'er will beat them up!"

In front of Jiang Ping An, she acted like a little girl, very cute.

Perhaps, people only show their truest side in front of the people closest to them.
