While Feng Tianmei and the others were worried, Lan Xue was taken to a small forest by Leng Ying and sat by a stream.
In fact, it wasn't that she didn't tell Yan Wushuang, but Leng Ying pulled her away as soon as he showed up, without giving her time to think about other things.
Sitting by the stream now, she felt a little unhappy when she was blown by the cold wind: "Come on, what do you want from me?"
"I heard that you are going to Heavenly Palace?"
"Yes, do you have any objections?"
Leng Ying rolled his eyes: "What opinions can I have? No matter what, Black Flame Sect still doesn't have enough strength to fight against Tiangong. So, I'm here to tell you that you don't need to be busy with the remaining tasks. I will handle them. I hope
You come back from Heavenly Palace as soon as possible."
Lan Tianyin raised an eyebrow and looked at the masked man in front of her: "So, do you still want me to continue working for you after I come back from Tiangong?"
"It's not a bad idea. It's good that you will be a member of the Tiangong in the future, but that doesn't mean you can survive our Black Flame Sect. Anyway, there are people from the Tiangong in our Black Flame Sect. Although there are not many, one is enough.
!”
Lan Tianyin was stunned for a moment and looked him up and down: "Are you talking about yourself?"
"It doesn't matter who you are, you will know it later. Of course, you must have the qualifications. People in the Heavenly Palace are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Don't think that you will be a noble person after entering. The main thing here is to rely on strength. Of course,
Family is just as important. It's normal for a newcomer like you who has no backing to be bullied. Oh, Jin Shangyan has a family backing inside, so you might as well make good use of the relationship between you."
cut!
He said it as if he had experienced it personally. Lan Tianyin looked at him and looked at him for a long time: "Let's stop the Liu Yunxiao matter. I have a little friendship with him, so don't hurt him."
Leng Ying smiled disapprovingly and said, "When did you have a relationship with him? Why didn't I know?"
"Anyway, don't touch him."
"Well, I can consider it, but you have to give me a reason!"
"He's a friend of my friend!"
Leng Ying curled his lips and said, "That friend of yours is really lucky! Do you mean to protect others like this?"
"Boring, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm leaving. So that the Wushuang guy won't worry about me."
"Don't be in a hurry, it's right for a man to worry, Lan Tianyin——"
Lan Xue frowned: "Call me Lan Xue, Lan Tianyin is dead."
"Well, you woman, you are really - forget it, I am too lazy to argue with you. For the sake of our cooperation, I will remind you a few words. When you go to Tiangong, act low-key, don't provoke indifferent people, and be patient for a while.
You can also help and benefit each other with Long Xilan and Feng Tianmei. They may take advantage of you, but that doesn’t matter. You can take advantage of them anyway. Mutual benefit is the choice of smart people. Of course, you must treat Jin Shangyan well.
, becoming a good friend with him is the best thing, it has absolutely no disadvantages."
Lan Xue pouted, that's not necessarily the case. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Besides, Jin Shangyan's true identity is probably not low. Bai Ruoxu looks arrogant, which must have something to do with his background.
"Okay, I'm leaving. The future will depend on your own destiny."
"Hello--"
Lan Xue stopped him, thought for a while and finally spoke, "In the Lan family, there is a maid Yan'er who used to serve me. I hope you can help take care of her when I am away. If I come back, I will repay her.
your."
Leng Ying was slightly startled, calling him out specifically, just for a maid?
The Lan family didn't even mention it, only a maid?
"Okay, I'll take care of you."
"Thank you." Lan Xue took out three more banknotes, "Give these to her and let her live a good life."
After taking two steps, Leng Ying looked back at her and asked, "Do I need to tell her that you are still alive?"
Lan Xue shook her head: "No, let her think that the young lady she took care of is dead, and let her live her own life. Redeem her life, and let her use the money to buy some fertile land and a spacious small yard with her family.
Live a peaceful and happy life with your family."
"good."
"Also, tell her that Miss Lan ascended to heaven very satisfied and has no resentment."
"good."
…
Huh, Lan Xue felt a little sour when she thought of that girl. A maid who has been with me for ten years can be said to be truly loyal to me. Even if she has an obligation, she still has the opportunity to leave me and follow other favored ladies.
Live life.
She likes that girl, but she doesn't want to take her with her.
It's better to be alone and carefree.
After sorting out her mood, Lan Xue hurried back to the inn and saw three men sitting together and waiting, with different expressions on their faces, but they all showed a hint of worry.
Seeing her coming back, Feng Tianmei rushed over first and reached out to hold her: "Where have you been?"
Lan Xue smiled slightly: "I met an old friend and explained some things to him. Have you just finished handling the Qin family's affairs?"
Long Xilan's eyes fell on Feng Tianmei's hand holding Lan Xue's hand, and she said gloomily, "Let the county magistrate go check it out, I think he will handle it properly."
Leave it to the county magistrate to investigate? The Qin family is the prime minister's house. How can a county magistrate investigate?
Lan Xue's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Long Xilan, "Do you want to let them go?"
"We should let it go on the surface. After all, we have no evidence to prove that they are here to kill people."
Lan Xue smiled faintly: "That's true. Since it's so obvious, so be it! Wushuang, I'm hungry. Didn't you prepare afternoon tea for me?"
"Oh, it's ready."
Wushuang happily went to the small kitchen to bring out the pastries. As soon as he entered the room, the faint sweetness spread to the tip of his nose, making people a little excited. Lan Xue reached out and took a piece, "Well, not bad, soft and delicious. But, I
I don’t like things that are too sweet, so it would be great if you could find a way to learn how to make the snacks on the street.”
"Snacks? Does Miss Snow mean those noodles, dumplings, etc.?"
"Well, there are also some pancakes, they are fragrant and taste good."
"Oh, I can do those too, but I thought Miss Snow that you wouldn't like those common people eating."
Lan Xue sat on the chair and sighed slightly: "Every commoner eats food, it doesn't matter whether it's high or low, as long as it's delicious."
"Okay, I'll make something for Miss Snow every day starting tomorrow for breakfast and supper."
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
Lan Xue smiled slightly, and that smile made people feel a little reassured. However, Long Xilan looked uncomfortable. She was very casual and gentle to them, but she became cold towards him.
After enduring it, he said to Lan Xue in a clear voice: "Do you have time to talk to me now?"
Hearing this, Lan Xue looked at him and was surprisingly easy to talk to: "Okay, in business talks, Prince Lan, if you want my help in the future, please remember to pay the price to negotiate! There is no free lunch in the world.
You have to be able to pay the price to be eligible for help."
These words were too hurtful. Long Xilan's expression changed again and again. He was very smart and naturally guessed in an instant that Lan Xue might have learned that he wanted to use her. As for the extent of understanding, he was not sure. However,
She must have decided that he was using her.
Who told her about him?
No, no one knew about his affairs, not even Shang Yan and the others. In any case, it seemed that they could not return to the previous harmony. Long Xilan felt somewhat clear at the moment, but he still couldn't.
Somewhat melancholy, he didn't know where the relationship between the two of them would go after this moment. He took a deep breath and looked at her faintly: "I do need your help, but wasn't this what we agreed on at the beginning?
Hit?"
"Before? It's a pity that we are all going to the Heavenly Palace, and all the previous agreements can be voided. From now on, if you want my help with anything, just pay me a price that satisfies me. I am actually a very fair person.
Yes, it won’t be too deceptive. For example, if you want me to save a slightly injured patient, it will cost about 10 taels of silver; if a seriously injured patient has no broken limbs or limbs, it will cost about 100 taels of silver; if the patient is injured, it will cost more magic.
, one thousand taels; if it is close to a disability, it will cost ten thousand taels at least; if it is more serious and requires me to pay a lot of money, I will use half of the other party's family property to pay for the consultation fee."
Not to mention Long Xilan, even Feng Tianmei and Yan Wushuang had their eyelids twitching. This price is really a bit deceiving!
Yan Wushuang secretly thought: He must protect himself from now on and not let Miss Xue treat him, otherwise, he who already has no money will become even poorer.
But can Miss Snow cure diseases? She - yes, she can heal injuries with magic. Both the wood magician and the water magician have the power of healing, I'm so envious!
Why isn't his talent good? If he can also practice a healing spell, he won't have to worry about money in the future.
Long Xilan's face turned a little pale after listening to Lan Xue's words. She didn't mention anything, but she mentioned treating injuries and rescuing people. It was clear that she was telling him that she already knew his purpose.
No matter where she heard it, she was convinced that he was hiding from her and using her.
It turned out that this was the reason why she was so cold to him. Long Xilan had a lot of mixed feelings in her heart. In addition to feeling guilty, there was also more confusion.
He found that he didn't know how to explain himself. In fact, he could say a lot of things to defend himself, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
Looking at his appearance, Lan Xue knew it all and sneered in her heart: This man has not yet wiped out the last of his conscience. If he really opened his mouth to defend himself, she would look down on him even more!
Feng Tianmei looked at the two of them and guessed something. She raised her eyebrows. Long Xilan actually wanted to use Lan Xue to save someone? Who should he save?
Could it be that it was a woman who could make Lan Xue so angry, and her attitude towards him was so different!
It definitely is!
hateful!
Although he once thought about taking her for his own use, he never wanted to use her to save others, and he kept it secret.
Could it be that Lan Xue's sudden change in temperament was also due to this? Thinking of this, Feng Tianmei's eyes suddenly widened with anger. He still preferred her when she was a bit innocent before. Although she was often cold to him, she would not be as cold as she is now.
