In the first year of Tianyong, the Five Lotus Sect, which originated in the Western Regions, collapsed due to civil strife, and a priestess fled from the Western Regions and took refuge in the Central Plains. Over the decades, she reorganized the Old Five Lotus Sect and established an organization to train assassins, renamed Red Lotus Castle. This person is Hua Nianyun, her notoriety in the rivers and lakes is second only to the Demon Sect, her face is kind and kind, but her temperament is cruel, and she is keen to find her successor among the people. Because she was quite beautiful when she was young, the heirs she chose all had good looks, because she felt that only those who had beautiful appearance, Qijia roots, and enough courage could be worthy of being the lord of Red Lotus Castle.

Qi Niang and Yu are the same children who were brought in, and when they came to Red Lotus Castle, they had to turn their backs on their original names and were forced to use pseudonyms, while Qi Niang was called Luo by them.

The days in the arena were particularly hard, and many of the children who didn't know why they came here started chatting together and taking care of each other, but the next day they were forced to kill each other, because only by defeating their opponents could they get out alive from there.

Qi Niang knew her fate from the moment she came in, so she never spoke to anyone. I'm afraid that once I make friends, I will kill them the next day.

One day, two days, three days...... Fighting again and again, there were fewer and fewer children in the same arena, and in the end, only she and the six boys remained. In the end, only one person remains.

After days of hard fighting, Qi Niang has been scarred. She soon noticed one of the boys, who had few injuries and a calm and sharp look in his eyes, and he was probably the one to watch out for. The other five boys also discovered this at the same time, so they didn't dare to provoke him easily, but joined forces to deal with Qi Niang alone. Fortunately, she has been practicing martial arts with her father since she was a child, and her foundation is better than those boys, and those people have brute strength, and after a few days, they are all exhausted. So one to five, she won.

As she fell to the ground panting, the boy walked towards her, but she didn't have the strength to get up again. Death struck her again.

"That's the end of today!" I don't know who shouted at them, Qi Niang seemed to hear a voice from outside the sky. She breathed a sigh of relief.

The boy held out his hand to her, his amber eyes staring at her faintly, "Can you stand up?" ”

That was the first time Qi Niang heard Yu's voice. Calm and self-contained beyond his age.

After a few days, no one asked them to compete again, Qi Niang's injuries gradually improved, maybe the people from Red Lotus Fort just let her take a breath, and when she relaxed, let her duel with Yu. It was destined to be a losing race.

Yu is silent, but he takes good care of her, and is her only friend here. But in the end, they had to fight each other. Qi Niang was ready to be killed by Yu, but to her surprise, Yu did not kill her, and even blindly gave in to each other in the arena, revealing many flaws. Did Yu want to die for himself?

Just when the two couldn't hold each other, the iron door opened, and a man said in a loud voice: "Okay, that's it, you guys, come out with me!" ”

Qi Niang and Yu survived from the arena at the same time.

However, since their separation, Qi Niang has never seen Yu again, and she doesn't even know what his real name is.

After leaving the arena, in the past four years, Qi Niang thought that life would be a little better, but who knew that the secret technique that Hua Nianyun let herself practice actually make her suffer in every way. Every time she practiced, she felt like her skin was immersed in an ice cellar, and her blood was frozen into ice. However, every time she finishes practicing, her body will continue to surge with more mellow internal force than before.

In the seventy-seven forty-nine days when she practiced to the ninth level, Qi Niang practiced until she went mad and the cold entered her body. Hua Nianyun called a young man and asked him to perform a resonance technique with Qi Niang in the secret room to inhale yang qi without Qi Niang's consent. Qi Niang, who was in a state of confusion, spent three days with the man in the secret room, lingering several times, and finally suppressed the cold in her body. Within three days, except for the skin-to-skin blind date, Qi Niang did not hear a word from the man, and he was put on his nose with a mask that can only be opened by a key, only revealing a sharp chin, and on the thumb of his left hand, he was wearing a wrench engraved with a red lotus pattern, I heard that this is something that those killer elites adopted by Hua Nianyun will wear on their hands.

Three days later, the man left, and Qi Niang asked Hua Nianyun who that person was.

Hua Nianyun kindly touched her head and said, "He is my youngest grandson, called Heng." You've seen him before, he's your first man. After Hua Nianyun said this, she smiled slightly.

Qi Niang couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, it turned out to be him!

Hua Nianyun said again: "Although you already have skin to skin, he will not be your eternal man, so I don't let you see your true face, I have made him take dumb medicine in advance, I did this just so that you can practice the secret art well." To put it bluntly, this secret technique is commonly known as the Joy Technique, and your body has already accepted him, so you must not have adultery with any man other than him until you practice it, otherwise you will lose all your efforts, and if you disobey, you will die. Speaking of this, I saw a sharp light flash in Hua Nianyun's eyes.

Qi Niang said coldly: "Since I have practiced this secret technique, I don't need to meet him again, it's best to never see him again." ”

Hua Nianyun smiled with relief, "That's very good." Don't tell anyone about the mysteries, and don't let down my expectations of you. Oh, by the way, today I brought back a child, I like her very much, I asked her to come and meet you, after all, you are also in charge of the Thunder Division. ”

Qi Niang nodded and said, "Okay." What is this person's name? ”

"Her name is Lan Yi, and I saw that her original name was very good, so I won't change it."

Qi Niang was a little surprised, why did Hua Nianyun suddenly change her sex?

When Lan Yi came to the Thunder Hall to report, he was wearing a light blue neon feather coat and wide-sleeved flowing fairy skirt, with a good appearance, a cocked nose and red lips, and apricot eyes and Mingren, like a fairy who had just entered the mortal world. The whole body looked like it had just been taken care of, and it didn't look like a person who had just come out of the arena. Qi Niang looked her up and down and asked, "You haven't tried it?" ”

Rani replied, "No." ”

"Why?" Qi Niang looked at her in surprise, but everyone who was brought to Red Lotus Castle had to go through a selection, and no one would be brought in directly from the outside.

Lan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they've already seen my skills, so they don't think there's any need to compare." ”

Such a frank and confident girl, Qi Niang has never met it, and the person who can make Hua Nianyun so impressed, I'm afraid she really has some ability. If it weren't for the rules of Red Lotus Castle, assassins couldn't compete with each other privately, Qi Niang really wanted to compete with her and try her skills.

"Your residence is next door to mine, and I'll take you around the Red Lotus Castle and find your way later, but before you go out, you have to put this on." Qi Niang pointed to a delicate mask on the table and said.

Lan Yi took the mask in her hand and glanced up at Qi Niang, her mask was different, others covered the entire face, but Qi Niang's only covered the upper half of her face. "Do all the people who stay here have to wear masks?"

"Of course, you can also leave it untapped if it's too long. Inside the mask is a special voice changer that makes it difficult for you to be recognized. Everyone's mask is different, making it easy to distinguish. Qi Niang got up from her seat and said to Lan Yi, "Come out with me when you put it on." By the way, you can call me Luo in the future. ”

Lan Yi is a shy and introverted child, but she learns things very quickly, and is more likable to Hua Nianyun than those young children who are new to the school. In just half a year, Hua Nianyun accepted her as her granddaughter and made her serve as the fire protector, which was tied with the wind protector chiffon, who had served for many years. Maybe it's because Lan Yi is too easy to sit in this position, which has caused many people to be unhappy, including Hua Nianyun's other granddaughter, Jin.

The assassins of Red Lotus Fort rarely interact with each other, each performing its own duties, and even if they meet on weekdays, they will not intersect, Qi Niang and Jin have only met a few times, and occasionally important matters need to be discussed, so they will gather together. Those elites who have been selected through layers of assessment have the opportunity to compare once a month, this matter was originally handled by Hua Nianyun, and later it may be that his energy is declining, so he will be taken care of by Qi Niang alone.

Every month, Qi Niang would personally witness the assassins who had been taken in by Hua Nianyun as grandchildren compete in an arena-like venue, and then report back to Hua Nianyun. Unlike the arena, Hua Nianyun did not allow them to kill each other, and competed against weapons that could only be made of wood. Even so, there are still people who get hurt, mostly in their bones and in places they can't see. And Lan Yi is the target of most of them, and Jin is the one who took the lead.

Maybe Lan Yi is very similar to what happened to her, and she was also bullied by everyone, so Qi Niang began to pay attention to her. Qi Niang is not good at expressing herself, so she will send some wound medicine to Lan Yi's room every month, and over time they will become familiar with it. Soon Qi Niang found that Lan Yi and the Wind Protector Chiffon were very close, and in the monthly competition, Chiffon also protected Lan Yi. It wasn't until late one night that Qi Niang accidentally saw Chi Feng coming out of Lan Yi's room, and she knew that the two of them were already together, and Lan Yi was also practicing that secret technique.

Red Lotus Fort does not allow elites to fall in love, but Hua Nianyun turned a blind eye to Lan Yi and Chi Feng's affairs, and doted on Lan Yi in every way, which made Qi Niang worry about her. After all, in this crisis-ridden Red Lotus Castle, the more favor you get, the more you will become the target of public criticism.

Half a year after Lan Yi became the Fire Protector, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the Red Lotus Castle, and in an invisible place, someone was planning a rebellion.

Late one night, Qi Niang just came back from Hua Nianyun, and found that someone seemed to have come to her bedroom, and as soon as she entered the door, someone covered her mouth from behind.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll break your neck." The man wore a mask of voice-changing and had a gruff voice. Qi Niang smelled the smell of blood on his body.

Qi Niang was unusually calm and stood still obediently. After a while, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside, and then the guard knocked on her door and asked, "Thunder Division, have you slept?" ”

The man behind her let go of her mouth and put a short knife around her neck, motioning for her to reply.

"I just came back, what's going on outside?" She said unhurriedly.

"Back to the master, we just found that an assassin ran near the Thunder Palace, but we didn't see the person left or right, for fear that he would break into the master's house and disturb you. What anomalies can be found in the manager? ”

Qi Niang was silent for a moment, and the man leaned the knife on her neck again, and she immediately said, "I didn't see any assassins, maybe they ran in other directions, you go to other places to see." Don't disturb my sleep. ”

"Yes. If you find anything in charge, please let us know as soon as possible. ”
