Xu Lan has been very angry these days!
I also feel a little aggrieved!
These days, she goes to Prince Lin's Mansion every day.
The Lin and Xu families were old friends, and since they both lived in Linjiang City, their interactions were quite frequent. Xu Lan had often visited the Lin Palace before, but usually only once every ten days or half a month, or even once every one or two months.
But in the past half month, she has been visiting the palace more frequently.
These days, I come here every day.
Although the servants at Prince Lin's mansion were somewhat surprised, no one dared to say anything. The Lin and Xu families were close friends, so it wasn't surprising that Miss Xu often visited!
As for why Xu Lan has been going to Prince Lin's Mansion so frequently these days...it goes without saying.
Ever since that day, Xu Lan's mentality had changed drastically. She couldn't explain why, but she just felt... a very novel feeling!
She couldn't help but want to run to the Linwang Mansion to see that guy...
But I haven't been able to see Lin Jiangnian in these two days.
When she came the day before yesterday, she heard from the servants in the mansion that Lin Jiangnian had gone to Ruyi Tower. Xu Lan guessed his purpose at that time, so she ran to Sun Moon Lake to wait for him.
As a result, I waited from noon to almost evening, but the guy still didn't come out, so I had to leave in disappointment.
The next day, she arrived at Prince Lin's Mansion very early, but she was still a step late...
The guy went to Ruyi Tower again, but didn't come out. She waited for a long time, but he showed up empty-handed again.
Xu Lan really wanted to go to Ruyi Tower to find him, but she couldn't do it... Without Uncle Lin's order, she couldn't go to Ruyi Tower casually.
So, I could only return in disappointment again.
And then, today...
She came again today, and this time she finally waited for Lin Jiangnian.
She was excited and happy.
But at the same time, a sense of indescribable grievance emerged.
Even she herself didn't seem to notice.
"Um?"
Lin Jiangnian, interrupted from his thoughts, looked up at Xu Lan who had appeared before him, somewhat puzzled: "Why would you be so willing to show up?"
"Haven't I always been at home?"
Xu Lan walked over to sit across from Lin Jiangnian, glared at him, and said angrily, "But I haven't seen you in the palace these past two days!"
"These past two days?"
Lin Jiangnian then remembered that the servants in the mansion had mentioned to him in the past two days that Xu Lan had come, but went back without waiting for him.
"I'm in Ruyi Tower."
"I know!"
Xu Lan snorted angrily, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come out... I thought you were hiding from me."
"Why should I hide from you?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her in confusion.
"have no idea."
Xu Lan turned her head and snorted softly: "Anyway, I'm not happy."
"Then you're not happy."
Lin Jiangnian rolled his eyes. He would not tolerate this girl's unreasonable behavior.
"you……"
Xu Lan was angry again.
This guy still talks so irritatingly!
"Will you kill me if I do this?"
"meeting!"
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Lin Jiangnian successfully killed Tian Chat.
"or……"
Lin Jiangnian was still thinking about going back to his room to ponder the Xuanyang Heart Method, and he really didn't have time to deal with this girl: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go back first?"
"go back?"
Xu Lan widened her eyes. She had just arrived?
Just send her back?
Seeing the nonchalant and perfunctory attitude on Lin Jiangnian's face, how could Xu Lan not understand what was going on?
"Are you annoyed by this girl?"
"That's not true!"
"Then why did you send me back?!"
"You heard me wrong... I was just giving you some kind advice."
"snort!"
Xu Lan snorted heavily and glared at him angrily: "I won't leave. I'm staying here all day!"
She looked like she was going to argue with Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian finally understood that the eldest daughter of the Xu family seemed to be still in her rebellious period. She had a very serious rebellious mentality and liked to do the opposite of others.
He stared at Xu Lan in front of him with a slightly burning gaze, without saying a word.
At first, Xu Lan was still looking at Lin Jiangnian stubbornly, but as time went by, she gradually couldn't bear it anymore.
Lin Jiangnian's slightly burning and somewhat strange gaze made Xu Lan feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
For a moment, I seemed to recall what happened that day.
Her delicate body shuddered slightly, her eyes dodged a little, and she turned her head away in panic, snorted softly, and said dully: "You, what are you looking at?!"
When Lin Jiangnian was about to ask something, he subconsciously glanced outside, realized something, and didn't say anything.
Xu Lan also noticed Lin Jiangnian's reaction. Seeing his hesitant look, he immediately understood something.
The walls of the Linwang Mansion have ears, so it's not very convenient here.
Thinking that this was a secret known only to her and Lin Jiangnian, a sense of excitement welled up in her heart.
"you……"
Thinking of this, her tone gradually softened unconsciously: "What have you been doing in Ruyi Tower these past two days?"
“Looking for something!”
"Looking for something?"
"Martial arts secret manual."
Hearing this, Xu Lan was stunned and couldn't help but look at Lin Jiangnian: "You, really want to learn martial arts?!"
"What else?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Does this prince look like someone who would joke around?"
Xu Lan showed a look of surprise on his face.
A few days ago at Yingfeng Garden, Lin Jiangnian said he wanted to learn martial arts from her, and Xu Lan thought he was joking at the time.
I didn't expect...he was serious?
Xu Lan couldn't help but look Lin Jiangnian up and down. "So how are you doing with your studies?"
"It's okay."
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I feel like I'm not far from surpassing you."
Hearing this, Xu Lan immediately became unhappy.
"Surpass me? Are you dreaming?"
Xu Lan glanced at him with disdain and snorted, "Only your first day of martial arts training, and you want to surpass me?"
"Is it strange?"
Lin Jiangnian asked doubtfully, "Besides, didn't I beat you last time?"
Xu Lan: “…”
Thinking of what happened last time, her face immediately flushed: "Last time, that was..."
"That was me giving you a break... You're sneaking in with me, showing no respect for martial ethics!"
"If this girl gets serious, you won't stand a chance of winning!"
When she said this, Xu Lan's body tensed up a little and her breathing became rapid. It was obvious that the experience of that day was still vivid in her mind.
"Isn't that also a win?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said playfully, "Besides, with my talent, it would be easy for me to surpass you."
"Oh!"
Xu Lan naturally didn't believe it and sneered: "You have just started practicing martial arts, you still have a long way to go. If you want to surpass me, why don't you try reaching the ninth level first?"
"How about a bet?"
Xu Lan squinted at him and asked, "What bet?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and asked, "How long did it take you to learn martial arts and reach the ninth rank?"
Xu Lan thought about it and said uncertainly: "About... half a year?!"
She had practiced martial arts for half a year and had reached the ninth rank, which was quite impressive. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she hadn't actually been very diligent in her martial arts training.
"Half a year!"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you believe that I can surpass you in three months?"
"I don't believe it!"
Xu Lan naturally didn't believe it. She was almost at the threshold of the eighth rank. If Lin Jiangnian wanted to surpass her, he would have to be at least at the eighth rank.
From not knowing any martial arts to the eighth level in three months?
It's impossible!
He thought she was the eldest princess in the capital?!
"bet?"
"Bet, what are you betting on!"
Xu Lan, who had always been strong-willed, agreed immediately.
"It doesn't matter what you bet on, what matters is the bet..."
It really didn't matter to Lin Jiangnian what he was betting on. What mattered was that he had to find a way to get the girl away.
Don't disturb his martial arts training!
Women will only hinder his path to becoming stronger!
