sweetheart she has nothing to fear

After Gu Ling left, Lan Yan lay on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all.

After tossing and turning for a while, she couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up.

After there was no Gu Ling in the manor, it became deserted in an instant.

Not only because of the desertedness of one less person, but also without him, she has no sense of belonging to this place.

For her, all the places in the warrior world are just a scene. With Gu Ling around, she has a sense of belonging. Without him, she is like an outsider.

Lan Yan is not someone who likes to make herself wronged. After living alone in the manor for one night, she decided that it was really boring and a waste of time, so she decided to go back to Suzaku Academy.

Before leaving, she always had to tell Zhan Xiao, so after packing up, she asked the manor's driver to take her to Zhan Xiao's residence.

"You want to go back to Lin'an City?" Zhan Xiao originally poured himself a drink leisurely, but when Lan Yan said that he was going to leave, he silently put down his teacup.

Lan Yan inexplicably felt that Zhan Xiao was a little unhappy, looked at his old face, pursed his lower lip, and explained softly: "Father, I want to participate in the sports meeting of Suzaku Academy, and it won't be long before it starts. So go back."

"Hey, let's all go, just leave me as an old man, living alone."

Zhan Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, "The two biological brats can't easily see each other, and the adopted son is unwilling to come back no matter how he calls him. Now he finally has a future daughter-in-law, and the future daughter-in-law is leaving. What's the point of living..."

Lan Yan: "???"

What's going on with this sudden attack of sadness?

Do you want to complain to her, or do you want her to stay?

She didn't think that Zhan Xiao had much affection for her, and it would be nice to hate her if he didn't hate her.

But looking at Zhan Xiao's silence, it seemed that he really didn't care about her hurting Zhan Yurao, but really regarded her as Gu Ling's fiancée and his adopted son's girlfriend.

Thinking of Zhan Xiao's preference for Gu Ling and the care he took for her, Lan Yan became damn soft-hearted.

She hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Father, if you want, can you accompany me to Lin'an City?"

"Going to Lin'an City with you?" Zhan Xiao was a little surprised that Lan Yan would say this, but it was undeniable that he seemed really interested.

All these years, he was still alone, it was really boring.

In the past, Zhan Yurao would occasionally come back to accompany him, but after Zhan Yurao was injured, the family was too deserted.

Except that Gu Ling and Lan Yan would take the initiative to come over to have a meal with him these days, Zhan Huayi and Zhan Hongwen would never take the initiative to accompany him.

Unless he calls and asks them to come back, otherwise they won't be seen...

As for those who wanted to take the initiative to come to him to make connections, he didn't want to pay attention to them at all, and his good friends had their own things to do.

Every time Zhan Xiao saw how busy his old friends were, he was glad that he had found a good heir, and handed over the phoenix to him to take care of it early, so he didn't have to worry about those trivial matters.

But sometimes he can't help regretting that if he doesn't hand over power earlier, he doesn't have to be so boring, and he still has something to do.

Lan Yan saw that he was a little moved, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "If you want, then I naturally hope that you can accompany me."

She would make this proposal because she felt that Zhan Xiao, an old man, was lonely, and it was really pitiful.

The other one is to do filial piety for Gu Ling.

In a certain sense, although Zhan Xiao is not Gu Ling's biological father, what he has done for him has far surpassed what a father would do for his child.

In Gu Ling's heart, I'm afraid he has already regarded him as the most important relative besides grandma and mother...

"Okay, so that you won't be bullied in the future and make Ah Ling worry." Zhan Xiao's tone was a little arrogant, with an expression of 'I'm doing this to save face'.

Lan Yan hurriedly said wittily, "Thank you!"

So, as agreed, Zhan Xiao and Lan Yan went to Lin'an City together.

#

Gu Ling has a residence in Lin'an City.

Now that Zhan Xiao is here, it's not good for Lan Yan to leave him here alone, and go to live in the school by himself. After going back and telling Zou Jinhai, she will do day-study, and will not live in school anymore.

As for Xiaolin, after he comes back, depending on what he wants, if he wants to live in the school, he can live in the school. If he doesn't want to live in the school, then he can also live in the manor here.

Although Zhan Xiao looks serious, but after getting along for a long time, he is actually quite approachable.

After tidying up the rooms in the manor and settling everything down, Lan Yan came to Zhan Xiao.

"Father, you rest at home first, I will report to the school, and I will accompany you when I come back in the afternoon."

Zhan Xiao waved his hands, "Go ahead, do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

The two of them were not the only ones in the manor. When Gu Ling lived in Country A, every property in the Warrior World was also taken care of by someone.

And after he came back, the five manors were also in normal operation, so that the master could move in at any time, with servants, chefs, butlers, etc. all available.

If Zhan Xiao doesn't want to stay in the manor, he can wander around outside as he pleases.

After all, this is Lin'an City, not many people know him, so don't worry about someone coming to curry favor with him.

After Lan Yan made sure that there was nothing wrong with Zhan Xiao, she went to Suzaku Academy.

Before going back to school, she habitually disguised herself.

Zhan Xiao saw with his own eyes that she changed into another person after entering the room, and couldn't help but recall the conversation between those two bastards and her when he first saw her.

It turns out that there is such a magical way to change faces.

No wonder the two of them recognized the wrong person before, mistakenly thinking that she was not her.

This level of face-changing technique is even more natural and realistic than a human skin mask. There is no sense of disobedience at all, and it is indeed very powerful.

"Lan Yan, what are you doing, how did you do it?"

Zhan Xiao was a little curious. He counted that Lan Yan went to her room, and it only took a total of ten minutes. He was surprised that it could be done in such a fast speed.

"A method of makeup. If the adoptive father is interested, I will make it in front of you next time when I change my appearance, and you will know it by then."

Zhan Xiao nodded, "Okay."

He was really interested.

Lan Yan: "Then I'll go to school first."

"Go..."

When she arrived at Suzaku Academy, she first went to the office to find Zou Jinhai.

"Student Lan Yan, you are finally back."

When Zou Jinhai saw Lan Yan, his tone became a little excited.

Some enthusiastically stood up to greet her.

"Teacher Zou, what's the matter?" Lan Yan was a little confused by his enthusiastic behavior.

"That's right, the school has been kicked out, and the situation is very bad, can you help?"

Kick the hall.

Naturally, people from other schools came to the martial arts competition. If they lost, then it would be a shame to lose face.

"No, doesn't Suzaku Academy have any outstanding students?"

Lan Yan didn't understand.

In any case, it's not her turn to be a student who has just entered school for a few months, to take on this big task, right?

Besides, before she went to Central City, although her strength was considered good in this class, compared to other grade students, she should not be at the top.

If it's her turn to play this kind of gymnastics, then Suzaku Academy will be too sad.

"That's not the case." Zou Jinhai explained: "It's a competition between freshmen who have been enrolled within one year, so they are subject to great restrictions, and freshmen who have been enrolled within one year of our school are not their opponents."

"Tomorrow is the final battle. If we lose again, we will be unable to hold our heads up in front of this small school for the next year."

There are five major academies in the world of warriors.

But in addition to the five major colleges, there are also some small schools.

Although these schools are not comparable to the top five colleges in terms of teaching staff and school environment, they are better off with good remuneration, excellent scholarships, and various subsidies, so there are quite a few people attending such small schools.

The one who came to play Suzaku Academy this time was Fengyang Academy. The reason why they had the courage to provoke him was because this year they had accepted a martial artist with an A+ talent, and his strength was no longer that of a senior who had studied for three years.

Among freshmen who were also within one year of enrollment, the estimate sweeps.

Suzaku Academy is already in a panic.

Some teachers even suggested that senior students pretend to be first-year freshmen to save their respect.

After all, if he lost, he would not only be unable to hold his head up in front of Fengyang College, but also in front of the other four major colleges.

The issue of reputation is too important to lose!

Lan Yan understood the cause and effect, then nodded, "Okay, what time will they come tomorrow?"

"nine in the morning."

"Then I will be at school at eight o'clock."

Although Lan Yan agreed to play in the school, Zou Jinhai was still a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help asking: "Student Lan Yan, how has your strength improved recently?"

When he was in school before, he saw with his own eyes that Lan Yan's strength improved a little almost every day.

Especially when Gu Ling was here, the progress was very obvious.

After Gu Ling left, she didn't slack off either, and he noticed her hard work.

But she has been away for more than half a month, almost 20 days. During this time, whether she has continued to work hard or not, I don't know.

Lan Yan raised her eyebrows and asked with great interest, "Why don't we have a try?"

Zou Jinhai was taken aback.

Then he thought, this is fine, let him touch the bottom of Lan Yan.

If you feel that her strength is not enough, then you can only think of other ways.

"it is good."

After a while, the two of them went to the training ground.

As for the fact that Lan Yan was going to compete with Zou Jinhai, she somehow leaked the news. When the two of them came to the training ground, there were already a group of students watching outside.

However, this does not affect the plan of the two to compete.

Zou Jinhai stood on the training ground, put on a posture, and waved to Lan Yan, "Come on, classmate Lan Yan, you start first."

Lan Yan didn't show politeness to him either, and restrained her original strength to take the lead.

Zou Jinhai can be a martial arts instructor, and his strength is also very good.

Almost a month ago, he also played against Lan Yan.

At that time, he had to withdraw his strength to avoid hurting her.

But this time they fought again, but it gave him the illusion that Lan Yan's strength was unfathomable.

Obviously he wanted to keep it at first, not to hurt Lan Yan, but in the end, he was beaten by Lan Yan with all his strength, and his situation was still precarious, and he might lose at any time.

He could think that Lan Yan was probably trying to save face for him by not embarrassing him in front of so many students and maintaining a tie.

After 10 minutes, Zou Jinhai was completely convinced, and Lan Yan just stopped, "Teacher Zou, that's it."

If the fight continued, Zou Jinhai would definitely not be able to last 2 minutes in her hands.

She had released the water very clearly, and if she released it too obviously, it would not be good for the students to see.

"Well, I won't fight anymore."

Zou Jinhai hastily pulled back his strength and clenched his hands behind his back to cover up his trembling.

"Student Lan Yan has made great progress. It seems that not only has she not been lazy during this time, but she has worked harder."

"According to your strength, the elementary class of the first grade can't teach you anything. You can apply for skipping and go to the first grade."

Although he was reluctant, Zou Jinhai still didn't want to delay Lan Yan.

With Lan Yan's talent, even if she doesn't skip a grade, it won't be long before he has nothing to teach her.

"Don't worry, I'll think about it after the sports meeting is over."

Lan Yan also has her own considerations. Of course, the most important thing is that she feels that with Gu Ling around, it doesn't matter which grade she is in.

How good it is to open a small stove.

The other is that Zou Jinhai is very good to her. She has always respected her teacher, and she is also grateful to him, and wants to give him more honor.

Zou Jinhai nodded in relief, "With you here, we don't have to worry about tomorrow's decisive battle."

Lan Yan was entrusted with an important task, and she only gave him a look of "reassurance" for this.

Neither of them noticed that there was a student sneaking around in the crowd outside the martial arts training ground. After they left, he left the academy gate not long after.

In the afternoon, Lan Yan didn't go to class, so she went back to the dormitory to pack up, preparing to take her luggage back to the manor after school.

#

Outside Suzaku Academy, outside a small hotel.

The sneaky student stood at the door, looked around behind him, saw that no one noticed him, and hurried inside.

He walked nervously to a closed door and knocked.

Not long after, the people inside came over and spoke.

The man who opened the door was a man in his forties, with a strong physique. As he walked, the muscles of his whole body were tense, like pieces of iron plates, with a layer of streamer shining on them.

This is to train the body to a certain level, and the muscles of the whole body have been strengthened to the point where it is almost invulnerable.

Compared with the inner strength method, this kind of body training method is more difficult.

But he can practice to such a degree, it shows that his talent is not trivial, and his strength is very strong.

Seeing that it was him, Zhao E stepped aside to open the door and let him in.

After he came in, he closed the door and asked in a rough voice, "Zhang Yong, what did you find out? Is Suzaku Academy trying to play tricks?"

Zhao E is the teacher who led the team from Fengyang College this time. Tomorrow is the final, and he is about to win the honor of this tournament. He cannot allow any mistakes tomorrow.

"Ms. Zhao, I haven't found out that they are looking for senior students to replace the lower grades for the finals. But today, when a student from the junior class came back, Teacher Zou competed with her. In the end, the two played against each other for more than 20 minutes, and stopped when there was no winner or loser." gone."

"But according to my observations, that student's strength should be higher than his, and he was let down in the competition!"

"Is that student really so powerful?"
