No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 102 The Mysterious Man (Part [-])
The weird dream that night still had a little influence on Luo Junyao, so much so that he felt uncomfortable when he saw Qin Ning in the academy the next day.

Qin Ning sat at Luo Junyao's table, resting her chin on one hand and looking at Luo Junyao curiously, "Yaoyao, did you not sleep well last night?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "No, I slept well!"

Qin Ning smiled and said, "But, you look like you haven't slept well."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "This is haggard makeup."

"Really?" Qin Ning obviously didn't believe it, "But..."

"Besides, I'm back on my word!" Luo Jun shook his head, "Gambles don't count."

"No!" Qin Ning immediately said: "I don't say anything."

Of the girls in the Martial Arts Institute, Luo Junyao is the best at fighting.If she refuses to compete with her, life will be very boring.

Luo Junyao snorted softly, put the open book on his face, and expressed that he didn't want to pay attention to Qin Ning.

How can she say that she didn't fall asleep in the second half of the night last night?
Qin Xiaoning is so annoying!
"Luo Junyao!" Xie Yuan angrily rushed into the room with a few people, and rushed to Luo Junyao regardless of other people's surprised eyes.

Luo Junyao looked at the aggressive Xie Yuan strangely, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yuan said: "Ling Xiang didn't come to the academy today, did you do something to her?"

Luo Junyao stood up, clapped his hands on the table, and asked, "Are you out of your mind?"

"What?" Xie Yuan was taken aback by her stability.

Luo Jun said: "Shen Lingxiang didn't come to the academy. First, you should ask the master of the academy if she is on leave. Second, you should go to Luo's house and ask why she didn't come, instead of coming here to question me for no reason. See For the sake of you being a woman, this girl will not beat you today. Please get out of here mellowly."

"Luo Junyao!" Xie Yuan said bluntly: "She is on leave, if you hadn't bullied Lingxiang, why would she not come to the academy?!"

Luo Junyao sneered, ignored Xie Yuan, left his seat, grabbed Xie Yuan's skirt and dragged him out.

Although Xie Yuan is arrogant, she is still just a girl with no power to restrain her. Even if she is taller than Luo Junyao, she is not her opponent.

Luo Junyao had no heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so he dragged Xie Yuan out by the collar without hesitation.

She was already shorter than Xie Yuan, so Xie Yuan could only be dragged out of the room in an extremely awkward posture.

Standing under the eaves, Luo Junyao unceremoniously threw Xie Yuan into the yard.

Xie Yuan fell to the ground in embarrassment, and said angrily, "Luo Junyao! I won't let you go!"

"Who do you not let go?" A cold female voice sounded, and Zhang Jingyu, the dean of the Martial Arts Institute and a master of riding and archery, stood not far behind, looking coldly at Xie Yuan on the ground.

Zhang Jingyu is not only the teacher of the Academy, but also the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, no matter how arrogant Xie Yuan is, he still has some scruples about her.

Luo Junyao immediately said: "Sir, she came to trouble me! I was afraid that she would disturb everyone's class, so I was about to throw her out."

Zhang Jingyu nodded, and although he didn't have a good face, he said: "Then hurry up, if you are late, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, sir!" Luo Jun replied crisply, walking towards Xie Yuan on the ground with a sunny face.

He grabbed Xie Yuan's collar again and continued to drag it out without mercy, "Let's go, don't be late. I heard that your Linglong class has strict rules, you will be punished if you are late?"

"You...you let me go! Let me go!" Xie Yuan struggled and shouted after being dragged into a mess by her.

Luo Jun shook his head and glanced at her, and smiled: "No."

Shen Lingxiang neither went to Anlan Academy nor was he at home today.

Early in the morning, she went out as usual, but the destination was not Anlan College.

Now it's not all bad for her not to go to and from school with Luo Junyao, for example, she will be much more free to go wherever she wants.

After the carriage left Luo's mansion, it went to a remote alley in the city. After Shen Lingxiang got off the carriage, he told the driver and the girl to stay in the carriage and then turned and walked into the alley.

The coachman and the girl didn't ask any more questions, and they looked as if they were used to it. Obviously, it was not the first time for Shen Lingxiang to come to this place.

Standing still in front of an inconspicuous door in the innermost alley, Shen Lingxiang knocked on the door lightly, and soon someone opened the door.

Stepping into the courtyard, Shen Lingxiang still frowned habitually, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

The one who came to open the door was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a simple and honest appearance. Seeing Shen Lingxiang, he smiled happily and said, "Sister Shen, the adoptive father is in the house."

Shen Lingxiang glanced at him coldly, and said, "Got it, I'll go in by myself, you can stay here."

"Oh." The boy scratched his head and nodded obediently.

The yard is very dilapidated and small, so naturally the inside of the house will not be any better.

Shen Lingxiang just walked in from the sunny yard, and frowned because of the dim light in the room.

Sitting in the dark and simple room was a somewhat hunched man, his voice was old and somewhat gloomy, as if he could feel his infinite malice just from his words.

"What are you doing here at this time? Didn't I tell you to be cautious!"

Shen Lingxiang couldn't help taking a step back, but thinking of what he wanted, he still forcibly endured it.

The man said in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Say it."

Shen Lingxiang said in a low voice: "The Luo family...the previous plan may not work."

The man was taken aback, "What's going on?"

Shen Lingxiang frowned, "Didn't you hear what happened in the imperial city during this time? That idiot of the Luo family has changed, and it is impossible for the Luo family and Mr. Xuan Yu to get married again. If Luo Junyao doesn't marry Mr. Xuan Yu, what should I do? "

The man seemed to really not know about it, and stood up suddenly, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

As soon as he stood up, it was obvious that one of his legs was twisted weirdly, and when he stood up, his shoulders were raised on one side and lowered on the other, as if he was half-bending to the left.

Shen Lingxiang gritted his teeth and said, "It's you who told me not to run here all the time, for fear of being seen! I sent someone to look for you twice, and there's no one here!"

If she could not wait any longer, she would not have come to such a dirty and dark slum herself.

The man was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "I went out of town a few days ago to do some errands."

Shen Lingxiang didn't care what he did, but said anxiously: "Then what should I do now?"

The man was silent, and Shen Lingxiang said: "I'm already seventeen. After Luo Mingxiang's marriage, the Luo family will start planning for Luo Jun, that idiot. If others say they are partial, they will definitely choose someone for me! When... what else can I hope for?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Lingxiang became even more anxious, "Didn't you say you would definitely help me?"

After a while, the man said in a deep voice: "Are you sure, you must marry that Xie Chengyou?"

Shen Lingxiang nodded quickly and said: "Yes, he is the best candidate I can choose. And... I know that Mr. Xuan Yu also has me in his heart." Speaking of this, Shen Lingxiang also felt a little sweet in his heart.

She did like Xie Chengyou's identity and family background, but she was also a young girl, so naturally she also had girlish feelings.

Xie Chengyou is the person she can get acquainted with with the best identity, appearance and ability. She has no reason not to like him.

"Okay." The man said: "Go back and find your mother, tell her that you want to marry Xie Chengyou, and let her ask the old lady of the Luo family."

"How is this possible?" Shen Lingxiang couldn't help questioning.

If what she wanted could be achieved so easily, she would have gone to beg the old lady long ago, why bother to spend so much effort?

The man snorted, and said: "Your mother will naturally have a way to persuade Mrs. Luo, if she refuses, you can show her this."

A light flickered in the dark night, and Shen Lingxiang reached out to catch the things thrown by the man.

In the dim light, Shen Lingxiang saw clearly that what was in his palm was a pendant.

The appearance and workmanship are all ordinary, and there is really nothing special about it.

"This...really useful? My mother will help me when she sees this?" Ever since she was a child, she knew too well what kind of person her own mother was.

She will help her do some things without any trace, and she may know some things she does but pretend not to know.She was obviously the one who spoiled Luo Junyao from the very beginning, but she always acted like she was sincerely doing good for Luo Junyao.

Shen Lingxiang hated Luo Junyao at first, in fact, it started when she felt that her mother treated her better than herself.

Shen Lingxiang knew that he was not a good person, and he was not hesitant to admit it.

But her mother has always believed that she is a good person with peace of mind.

She would not do something that obviously required her to stand up against the Luo family.

She would only persuade her to please her grandmother, listen to her uncle, and please her two cousins ​​so that she can marry a good family in the future.

It was like, she knew that she also liked Xie Chengyou, but she always tried to persuade her not to grab things from Luo Junyao.

As if he was really kind and innocent, Luo Junyao's ignorant appearance before, could it be that she was raised by Shen Lingxiang?
The man said: "You will know if you try it?"

Shen Lingxiang looked at the man, and held the pendant tightly in his palm.After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice: "Before, at the Luo family, you gave Luo Jun Yao medicine, do you know who it is?"

The man's eyes froze, "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Lingxiang said: "No, I'm just a little curious. Mr. Xuan Yu said that he didn't know who it was. But... since it wasn't the hands of Prince Mu's mansion, who would be so bored to give Luo Jun that kind of medicine?"

The man said: "This has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it. Since you want to marry Xie Chengyou, you should worry about your own affairs and don't meddle in your own business!"

Shen Lingxiang was surprised: "You really know?!"

The man sneered, "Let's go."

Shen Lingxiang was a little disappointed that he couldn't get an answer from the man.

But seeing the man sitting back again, with a look of refusing to communicate, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she had to back out silently.
