Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Xu Lan is very angry these days!

Also a little aggrieved!

In the past few days, she had been running to Prince Lin's Mansion every day.

The Lin and Xu families were family friends and lived in Linjiang City together, so they had frequent contacts. Xu Lan often came to the palace before, but usually only once every ten days and a half, or even once every two months.

But in the past half month, she has been coming to the palace more frequently.

In the past few days, I have been running here every day.

Although the servants in Prince Lin's Mansion were a little strange and surprised, no one dared to say anything. The Lin and Xu families are on good terms, so it’s not surprising that Miss Xu often comes here!

As for why Xu Lan went to Prince Lin's Mansion so frequently these days... it's self-evident.

Since what happened that day, Xu Lan's mentality has changed greatly. She couldn't explain it herself, she just felt...a very novel feeling!

She couldn't help but want to run to Prince Lin's Mansion to see that guy...

But these two days, I couldn't see Lin Jiangnian every time.

When she came the day before yesterday, she heard from people in the house that Lin Jiangnian went to Ruyi Tower. Xu Lan guessed his purpose at that time, so she ran to Sun Moon Lake to wait.

As a result, from noon to almost night, the guy still hadn't come out, so he could only leave in anger.

The next day, she arrived at Prince Lin's Mansion very early, but she was still a step late...

The guy went to Ruyi Building again, but never came out. He made her wait for a long time, and then he ran away again.

Xu Lan wanted to go to Ruyi Tower to find him, but she couldn't... Without Uncle Lin's order, she couldn't just go to Ruyi Tower.

So, I could only return in frustration again.

Then, today comes...

Today she came to visit again, and this time it was finally Lin Jiangnian.

She was excited and happy.

But at the same time, some unspeakable feelings of grievance emerged.

Even she didn't seem to notice it.

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian, who was interrupted from thinking, raised his head and glanced at Xu Lan who appeared in front of him, a little confused: "Why are you willing to show up?"

"Am I not at home all the time?"

Xu Lan walked to sit across from Lin Jiangnian, stared at him, and said angrily: "But I haven't seen you in the palace for the past two days!"

"These two days?"

Only then did Lin Jiangnian remember that in the past two days, people in the house had mentioned to him that Xu Lan had been here but had gone back before he could wait.

"I'm at Ruyi Building."

"I know!"

Xu Lan snorted angrily: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I didn't see you come out... I thought you were avoiding me."

"Why should I avoid you?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her inexplicably.

"have no idea."

Xu Lan turned her head and snorted: "I'm not happy anyway."

"Then you won't be happy."

Lin Jiangnian rolled his eyes. He was not used to this girl's unreasonable behavior.

"you……"

Xu Lan was angry again.

This guy's words are still so irritating!

"Will you die if you let me?"

"meeting!"

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Lin Jiangnian successfully chatted to death.

"or……"

Lin Jiangnian was still thinking about going back to his room to ponder Xuanyang's mental method, but he really didn't have time to deal with this girl: "If you want to have nothing to do, why not go back first?"

"go back?"

Xu Lan's eyes widened. Has she just arrived?

Just drive her back?

Seeing the casual and perfunctory attitude on Lin Jiangnian's face, how could Xu Lan still not know what was going on?

"Are you finding this girl annoying?"

"Nothing!"

"Then why did you drive this girl back?!"

"You heard me wrong...I just gave you a well-intentioned suggestion."

"snort!"

Xu Lan snorted heavily and glared at him: "If I don't leave, I'll still be here today!"

She looked like she was quarreling with Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian finally understood that the eldest daughter of the Xu family seemed to be still in the rebellious stage. She had a very serious rebellious mentality and liked to go against others.

He stared at Xu Lan in front of him, his eyes burning slightly, but he said nothing.

Xu Lan was still looking at Lin Jiangnian stubbornly at first, but as time passed, she gradually couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Jiangnian's slightly scorching and somewhat strange gaze gradually made Xu Lan feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.

For a moment, I seemed to recall what happened that day.

Her delicate body trembled for a moment, her eyes immediately dodge, she turned her head in a panic, snorted softly, and said solemnly: "What are you looking at?!"

When Lin Jiangnian was about to ask something, he subconsciously glanced outside again, realized something, and didn't speak again.

Xu Lan also noticed Lin Jiangnian's reaction. Seeing his hesitant expression, he immediately understood something.

Linwangfu's partition wall has ears, so it's not very convenient here.

Thinking that this was a secret that she and Lin Jiangnian knew alone, a sense of excitement arose in her heart.

"you……"

Thinking like this, her tone gradually softened unconsciously: "What are you doing in Ruyi Building these two days?"

"Looking for something!"

"What are you looking for?"

"Martial arts secrets."

Hearing this, Xu Lan was startled and couldn't help but look at Lin Jiangnian: "Do you really want to practice martial arts?!"

"if not?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Does this prince look like a joker?"

Xu Lan had a look of surprise on her face.

A few days ago, when they were at Yingfeng Garden, Lin Jiangnian said he wanted to learn martial arts from her. At that time, Xu Lan thought he was joking.

Unexpectedly... is he really here?

Xu Lan couldn't help but look Lin Jiangnian up and down: "Then how did you learn?"

"Okay."

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I feel like I'm not far from surpassing you."

Hearing this, Xu Lan immediately became unhappy.

"Beyond me, girl? Are you dreaming?"

Xu Lan glanced at him contemptuously and hummed disdainfully: "It's just your first day of practicing martial arts, and you want to surpass me?"

"Is it weird?"

Lin Jiangnian asked in confusion: "Besides, didn't I already beat you last time?"

Xu Lan: "..."

Thinking of what happened last time, her face immediately turned red: "Come on, what happened last time, that was..."

"That's because I'm letting you off the hook...you don't have martial ethics to attack in a sneak attack!"

"If this girl gets serious, you have no chance of winning!"

When Xu Lan said this, her delicate body became slightly tense 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 prince's talent, isn't it easy to surpass you?"

"Ah!"

Xu Lan naturally didn't believe it and sneered: "You have just started practicing martial arts, and you are still far away from it. If you want to surpass me, why don't you go to the ninth level first and see?"

"How about making a bet?"

Xu Lan looked at him sideways: "What kind of bet?"

Lin Jiangnian thought about it and asked, "How long did it take you to go from practicing martial arts to entering the ninth level?"

Xu Lan thought about it and said uncertainly: "About... half a year?!"

She has practiced martial arts for half a year, and it is already considered very good to have a ninth-level strength. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she actually doesn't practice martial arts very diligently.

"Half a year!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "Then do you believe that my son can surpass you in three months?"

"Do not believe!"

Xu Lan naturally didn't believe it. She was now close to the threshold of the eighth level. If Lin Jiangnian wanted to surpass her, he would have to be at least the eighth level.

It took three months to reach the eighth level without any martial arts skills?

Totally impossible!

He thought she was the eldest princess in the capital? !

"bet?"

"Bet, what bet!"

Xu Lan, who has always wanted to be strong in her life, immediately agreed.

"It doesn't matter what you bet on, what matters is that you bet..."

It really didn't matter what he was betting on. What was important was that he had to find a way to get rid of the girl in front of him.

Don't disturb his martial arts plan!

Women, for now, will only block his path to becoming stronger!
