Chapter 39(1/2)
The oiran invites you
"Teach you martial arts?!"
Xu Lan's delicate face showed a hint of astonishment. After a moment of daze, she stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Do you want to learn martial arts?"
"That's right!"
"why?"
"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. Naturally, practicing martial arts is to act chivalrously and act righteously, to act bravely when seeing justice, to rob the rich and give to the poor?"
Xu Lan: "..."
In terms of wealth, who in Linzhou can be as rich as you in Linwangfu?
You robbed yourself, right?
Xu Lan snorted coldly: "Can you say something humane?"
"That……"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a while: "Does self-protection count?"
Self-protection?
Xu Lan raised her eyebrows, as if she thought of something.
So it seems that it is not incomprehensible that he wants to practice martial arts for self-defense?
"Calculate!"
Xu Lan narrowed her eyes and nodded: "But if you want to practice martial arts, wouldn't it be better to find Zhiyuan?"
"She is much better than me!"
"Is she great?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't seen her take action, but her martial arts strength must not be weak..."
There was a strange look in Xu Lan's eyes, and she thought for a moment: "At least fifth grade!"
"Only fifth grade?"
"talent?"
Hearing this, Xu Lan hummed and said: "Do you know how difficult it is to reach the fifth-grade phaseless state? Do you know how much effort it takes and what kind of talent is required to achieve it?"
"have no idea."
Xu Lan: "..."
"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you either..."
Xu Lan waved her hand and said with a slightly proud expression: "In short, at her age, she can reach the fifth-grade phaseless realm, which is already considered a rare genius in the world!"
With this proud little look, it seems like she is the one who has reached the fifth level!
Lin Jiangnian said unexpectedly: "According to what you said, the eldest princess you mentioned last time is already a second-level master? Isn't that a genius among geniuses?"
"She's different!"
A trace of envy flashed in Xu Lan's eyes, and she sighed: "She can't be seen through ordinary people's eyes... She is the most gifted genius in the world for hundreds of years. She is a person who only sees martial arts practice.
It’s not something that mortals can compare to!”
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
Is there any other way to say this?
"Then you, the ninth grade..."
Lin Jiang looked at her suspiciously.
Xu Lan snorted heavily and said angrily: "I can torture you with just one hand!"
Lin Jiangnian believed it.
He shook his head again and sighed: "I would also like to learn from her, but whether she can teach me is another question, and wouldn't it be easy to expose my identity?"
Xu Lan was startled and thought of this.
Too!
Prince Lin has not loved practicing martial arts since he was a child. To be precise, he cannot bear the hardship.
In the past, Prince Na Lin also dreamed of becoming a martial arts master and a grandmaster, but in the end he was defeated by the hardships of practicing martial arts and quietly became his dandy prince.
The hard work required to practice martial arts is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Even if she was able to step into the realm of the ninth grade, she had to make more efforts than ordinary people could imagine. From ancient times to the present, there are countless people who have been blocked from the realm.
For Prince Lin, who has already reached the pinnacle of his life since birth, there is really no need to work hard and find hardship.
Now that Lin Jiangnian suddenly said that he wanted to practice martial arts, it was inevitable that Zhiyuan would be suspicious of him.
"If that's the case, then I can't teach you!"
Xu Lan pouted: "If she finds out, won't she doubt you? There are so many informants in your palace, and you can't escape her eyes no matter what you do."
Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then, is there any quick-fix Kung Fu that can be achieved by hiding in a room, meditating, and practicing to increase internal strength and become a peerless master?"
Looking at Lin Jiangnian's slightly expectant eyes, Xu Lan fell silent.
She even began to doubt whether the guy in front of her was really the prince... How could he be so virtuous?
These words seem familiar!
"Go ahead and dream!"
Xu Lan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "There are no shortcuts in martial arts. If you want to practice martial arts, you have to do it step by step. This girl also worked hard to achieve her current achievements, okay?"
But then she thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "However, you can go to Ruyi Tower to have a look. The Ruyi Tower in Linwang Mansion houses the martial arts secrets of countless Jianghu sects in the world... If you look carefully, you might be able to find it.
What kind of heretical evil skill can you do that can really make you a master quickly?"
"..."
Lin Jiangnian ignored Xu Lan's strange annoyance and sighed.
Sure enough, it still doesn’t work!
It's really unrealistic to avoid being suspected by Zhi Yuan.
As for entering Ruyi Tower...this also requires an opportunity.
"However, there is no other way!"
Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian with a smile and said: "Although she was suspicious of you, she did not think that you were a fake. After all, it is difficult for two people to be so similar in the world... as long as you don't reveal your secrets."
, if you have the chance, you can test her..."
"Don't you think she looks cold on the outside, but she's not as scary as you think?"
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
Isn't she called a cold-blooded maid who kills people without blinking an eye? Isn't this scary?
Looking at Xu Lan's energetic and gloating expression, Lin Jiangnian thought of something and suddenly asked: "So, you have said so much, but you still refuse to teach me, is it because..."
"You're just a low-ranking ninth-level person, and you don't have the skills to teach me?"
Xu Lan: "..."
"..."
Just when Xu Lan was furious and wanted to settle the score with Lin Jiangnian.
A figure appeared outside the two people's attic.
Suddenly someone approached, and the two of them were wary and turned around at the same time.
The next second, a figure hidden in the dark blocked the other party from approaching. It was the guard beside Xu Lan.
As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, it is natural that she would be surrounded by bodyguards when she goes out. Today, Xu Lan and Lin Jiangnian appeared in the attic of a brothel to have a secret conversation, so they naturally needed to hide their presence from others.
Appearing in their sight was a girl who looked like a maid: "You two gentlemen..."
Xu Lan looked at the other person and asked, "Who are you?"
The maid's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian: "Hello, young master, my young lady has a great admiration for this young master. She specially ordered this servant to come and want to invite him to come and get together."
"Your lady?"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and looked at the maid in front of him: "Who is your young lady?"
The maid said: "Su Lu!"
Su Lu?
Lin Jiangnian was not impressed by this name. On the contrary, Xu Lan next to him was startled: "Su Lu? Is your young lady Su Lu from Yingfeng Garden?"
Lin Jiangnian turned to look at her and saw a look of astonishment on her face.
Seems a bit unexpected?
