Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

"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, act bravely when seeing justice, 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 look: "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 such a thing?

"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. Besides, wouldn't it be easy to expose my identity?"

Xu Lan was startled and thought of this.

Too!

Prince Lin didn't like martial arts since he was a child. To be precise, he couldn't bear the hardship.

In the past, Prince Na Lin also dreamed of becoming a martial arts master and a grand master, 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 could step into the ninth level, she had to work harder than ordinary people could imagine. From ancient times to the present, I don’t know how many people have been blocked from the ranks.

For Prince Lin, who has reached the pinnacle of his life since birth, there is really no need to work hard and find trouble.

Now that Lin Jiangnian suddenly said that he wanted to practice martial arts, Zhiyuan would inevitably be suspicious.

"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 a quick way to increase your internal strength and become a peerless master by just hiding in a room and meditating?"

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 what she is today, 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 weirdness and sighed.

Sure enough, it still doesn’t work!

It is unrealistic to avoid being suspected by Zhi Yuan.

As for entering Ruyi Tower...this also requires an opportunity.

"However, it's not that 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..."

"Even though she looks cold on the outside, she's actually not as scary as you think?"

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

Isn't she scary to call a cold-blooded maid who kills people without even a word?

Looking at Xu Lan's energetic expression, there was also a hint of gloating. 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 are just a low-ranking ninth-level person, and you have no ability to teach?"

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 back 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 the brothel to talk secretly, so they naturally needed to hide their presence.

Appearing in their sight was a girl who looked like a maid: "You two gentlemen..."

Xu Lan looked at the other person and said, "Who are you?"

The maid's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian: "Hello, young master, my 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 beside 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 shock on her face.

Seems a bit unexpected?

Oiran?

"Yes." The little maid nodded: "My young lady would like to invite the young master to come over for a party. I wonder if the young master can give me a favor?"

Lin Jiangnian instinctively realized that something was wrong, and was about to refuse, but he saw Xu Lan beside him, saying first, "Okay, go back and tell your lady, he will be there later."

"Then, this slave will go back and resume his life."

When the little maid left, Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Xu Lan and frowned: "When did I say I was going there?"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Xu Lan glanced at him with a smile but not a smile: "Su Lu is the oiran of Yingfeng Garden. It is difficult for many people to meet her. She has been admiring you for a long time and takes the initiative to meet you? If you don't see her, is it a little too heartless? "

Lin Jiangnian's face was expressionless: "Do I know him?"

"have no idea."

Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian with some suspicion: "However, Prince Lin likes brothels and romantic places, so logically he should know him..."

"I probably don't know you!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "If we are old acquaintances, this maid shouldn't use admiration..."

"It seems like they probably don't know each other."

"But since she doesn't know me, why did she take the initiative to see me?"

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes became clearer.

"There's something wrong with this oiran!"

"..."
