son, don't mess around

Chapter 456 I Can't Beat Her

The eldest princess, dressed in a plain white dress, quietly looked at Xu Lan in the corridor not far away. She paused for a moment, then retracted her gaze, turned around and left.

The cold and elegant aura was overwhelming, giving everyone present a suffocating pressure.

Even after she left for a long time, Xu Lan still stood there in a daze, with a look of loss on her pretty face.

I can't describe the lowness.

Xu Lan suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have any advantage in front of this princess...

I can't compare to her in terms of looks, temperament, not to mention her figure...there's no comparison in every aspect.

Compared with the eldest princess, she has no advantages in any aspect.

Beaten in all aspects!

Not to mention identity...

She is the eldest princess, one of the most noble people in the Daning Dynasty!

The emperor's favorite sister today!
And more importantly...she is Lin Jiangnian's nominal fiancée!
The kind that makes sense!

This is also the most fatal reason that makes Xu Lan feel lost and inferior.

Even though she had never thought of competing with the eldest princess, the thought of such a huge gap between the two of them still made her feel disappointed.

There's no comparison at all!
Others have the right to do so, so what am I?
Are you secretly hooking up with a married man?
As this thought came to mind, Miss Xu lowered her head, looking dazed.

Even if you want to be a concubine, you still have to be careful and look at other people's faces...

Lin Qingqing, who was standing by, naturally noticed the changes in Xu Lan, and she sighed secretly in her heart.

As His Highness' subordinate, she naturally saw that Miss Xu liked Her Highness.

Otherwise, how could a pampered young lady lower herself to come to see His Highness again and again without caring about her image?
This time, I am not afraid of the hardships along the way back to Linzhou, and I will stick to Your Highness.

It's already very obvious!
But the appearance of the princess just now seemed to have destroyed the little confidence that Miss Xu had left?

Looking at the distraught Xu Lan, Lin Qingqing didn't know how to comfort her.

Can't comfort.

After all, she is the eldest princess, someone Lin Qingqing needs to look up to.

Not to mention Xu Lan, any other woman in the world would probably find it difficult to feel superior in front of this princess.

It is difficult to compare with this eldest princess in terms of appearance, temperament, status and position.

What's more...the eldest princess's martial arts are unparalleled and unfathomable.

Even Lin Qingqing admired him very much.

Looking at the direction where the princess disappeared, and then looking at Xu Lan beside her, Lin Qingqing hesitated for a long time, but in the end said nothing.

She remembered that she had mentioned to His Highness on the road yesterday that Miss Xu liked His Highness.

But after hearing this, His Highness did not give a clear answer.

As an excellent subordinate, Lin Qingqing naturally understood what His Highness meant.

Therefore, she did not get involved too much.

The debt of love between our prince and me must be resolved by His Highness himself.

As a subordinate, she just needs to be a qualified mute!
……

At this time, Lin Jiangnian had no idea what was happening outside.

He is very weak now.

After once again wasting a lot of internal energy in helping Li Piaomiao suppress the coldness in his body, his body became weak again.

However, compared to before, the situation is obviously much better now.

I don't know if it's because his internal strength has improved during this period, or if it's because he's become more familiar with it after doing it so many times. Although he still consumed a lot of internal strength this time, he wasn't as weak as I imagined before.

At the same time, while helping Li Piaomiao suppress the coldness in his body, Lin Jiangnian did not gain nothing.

While absorbing the cold air from Li Piaomiao's body, Lin Jiangnian could feel that his body had also undergone significant changes.

The heat he felt when practicing Xuan Yang Heart Technique disappeared, and now he could control it almost at will. The cold air he absorbed into his body, after being refined, gradually transformed into his own use.

The Xuan Yang Heart Method, which was originally extremely strong and masculine, seemed to have gradually changed.

Lin Jiangnian could feel that the Xuan Yang internal energy in his body was not pure enough!
But, it vaguely feels more refined!

After integrating the pure yin cold energy in Li Piaomiao's body, the internal force in Lin Jiangnian's body was in a mysterious state, as if yin and yang combined.

Every time when Lin Jiangnian helped Li Piaomiao suppress the coldness in his body, he could also feel the obvious increase in his internal strength.

This was also the reason why, even though Lin Jiangnian was always squeezed to exhaustion and weakness by the princess, he still flocked to her and was willing to "cure" Li Piaomiao.

This kind of "cultivation" can make Lin Jiangnian progress much faster than when he was exploring on his own!
Lin Jiangnian, who had just entered the fourth level not long ago, clearly felt that his realm was gradually stabilizing and his strength was vaguely improving again during the time he was "treating" Li Piaomiao.

Although he was still some distance away from becoming a third-rank master, Lin Jiangnian had a feeling that it wouldn't take long if he had the princess by his side...

……

Sitting cross-legged in the room, he circulated his internal energy throughout his body. As his internal energy slowly recovered, the weakness in his body was swept away, and Lin Jiangnian finally finished the exercise and opened his eyes.

I feel much better!
He stood up and looked at himself through the bronze mirror not far away. Although his face was still a little pale and weak, it was obviously much better than before when he needed to rest for several days.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, Lin Jiangnian walked to the door of the room.

Push the door and walk out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw several figures standing outside.

However, what surprised Lin Jiangnian was that the people standing outside the door were not Jinxiu and An Ning, but Lin Qingqing, and the man standing beside Lin Qingqing, lowered his head and said nothing, seeming to be in a low mood.

"Xu Lan?"

Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned, a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

When he was helping Li Piaomiao to "treat" her, he vaguely heard Xu Lan's voice coming from outside the door, but he was so focused at the time that he didn't listen carefully.

Look at Xu Lan's appearance again...what happened?
Lin Jiangnian looked at Lin Qingqing standing beside him and saw that Lin Qingqing also looked helpless.

At this moment, after hearing Lin Jiangnian's voice, Xu Lan raised his head and looked at him with a pair of gloomy eyes.

Lin Jiangnian felt a little scared by her look and couldn't help but pat her head: "What's wrong? Don't look at me like that."

Xu Lan pursed her lips, her face full of resentment, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Qingqing at the side coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, I will go down first!"

Lin Qingqing wisely chose to run away.

Lin Jiangnian and Xu Lan were left standing there, staring at each other.

"What's wrong? You look like you've been bullied? Who bullied you?"

Lin Jiangnian thought back, could it be that Jinxiu and An Ning bullied her just now?
That's right, how could Xu Lan defeat the twins? This Miss Xu is a fool, I'm afraid she will be fooled by Jinxiu.

"Humph, you bully me!"

Xu Lan's tone seemed to have a hint of grievance.

"When did I bully you again?"

"You just bullied me!"

"You should be reasonable when speaking. How did I bully you?"

"Don't tell me!"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

He wanted to say something, but after noticing that Xu Lan seemed to be in a low mood, Lin Jiangnian realized something... Was he really unhappy?

What's wrong with this girl?
"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed secretly: "This is not your character, Miss Xu. What happened to make you so depressed?"

"Tell me, how did I bully you?"

Xu Lan lowered her head, pouted her lips, and looked unhappy: "Why is the princess here?"

"It just happened to happen."

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Don't tell me, I want to ask too."

Lin Jiangnian was also very puzzled. He had been very low-key when he returned this time, but he didn't expect to meet the eldest princess again.

...It's a bit of a coincidence indeed!

"She, she also wants to go back to Lin Wang Mansion with you?" Xu Lan asked tentatively.

"Stop it. What do you mean, let's go back to the Prince Lin's Mansion together? She was going to the Prince Lin's Mansion to do something, and we just happened to run into each other."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head.

"Then she's going back with you?"

Xu Lan's tone became even more resentful.

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "If you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible."

Xu Lan stopped talking, and just stared at Lin Jiangnian pitifully, as if she was a wronged and angry young wife.

"So, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her reaction, and his heart moved, vaguely guessing something: "Because of the eldest princess?"

Xu Lan sighed faintly: "She is really beautiful!"

"You're not bad either!"

"She has such a cool and beautiful temperament. I'm so envious!"

"You have a nice temperament, too."

"I can't compare to her, she is really so good..."

"You don't have to compare yourself with others. Everyone is unique, and you are also excellent..."

"But she has a good figure, with a curvy figure, tall and long legs, and fair and tender skin..."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian stopped talking, so there was no way to comfort him.

Is the truth.

He can't go against his conscience, right?

Seeing Xu Lan like this, Lin Jiangnian guessed something. He sighed slightly, "Why are you competing with her?"

Why don't you compete with anyone else? Why do you have to compete with Li Piaomiao?

Isn't she just bringing shame upon herself?
Xu Lan lowered her head and pouted a little aggrievedly: "I didn't compare myself with her, but...she is your fiancée!"

Lin Jiangnian's heart was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Lan. What she meant by this...

"so what?"

Xu Lan's tone was somewhat weak: "When will you marry her?"

"Who said I was going to marry her?"

Xu Lan was startled when he heard this, and looked up at Lin Jiangnian, "What?"

"She, isn't she your fiancée?"

"so what?"

Lin Jiangnian asked back, "Who says that a fiancée will definitely get married?"

Xu Lan: “?”

At this moment, Xu Lan's expression froze, and his brain seemed to be unable to function properly.

A fiancée doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get married?

She’s already my fiancée, so why may they not get married?

Facing Xu Lan's bewildered look, Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "A fiancée is a fiancée, and a marriage is a marriage. They cannot be confused..."

He did not explain the complicated relationship to Xu Lan, nor was he too lazy to explain it. With her IQ, she probably wouldn't understand even if he explained it.

Xu Lan really couldn't understand, but from what Lin Jiangnian said... didn't he plan to marry the eldest princess?
"Aren't you planning to get married?"

Xu Lan suddenly asked tentatively.

For some reason, there was a hint of anticipation and excitement in his tone.

Although it seems that even if Lin Jiangnian doesn't marry the eldest princess, it won't be her turn?
But... this way she would seem to be under a lot less pressure?
Thinking of this, Xu Lan became more excited.

"Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Lin Jiangnian did not give a definite answer.

After all, Li Piaomiao is still his nominal fiancée, so Lin Jiangnian can't be too decisive.

But after hearing this reply, Xu Lan's originally depressed and uneasy mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful.

Yup!

Who knows what will happen next?

But for now... aren't they married yet?
Who knows...it might fail?
After the eldest princess appeared, Xu Lan had been in a guilty and uneasy mood. On the one hand, he felt inferior because he could not compare with the eldest princess. On the other hand, he felt like an outsider and had a sense of moral condemnation for destroying someone else's happy family.

But after hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, her gloom was instantly cleared away.

suddenly see the light!
That's right!

Who says a fiancée will definitely get married?
Actually, she and Lin Jiangnian knew each other earlier.

Obviously she was there first!
Is being the eldest princess so great?

...Maybe I should even call her sister, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Lan's originally dull eyes were full of color again, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian with a lively look, full of energy.

Lin Jiangnian didn’t know what happened to Miss Xu. She looked so lonely just now, but in the blink of an eye she became radiant?

This face changes too quickly!
"never mind?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lan nodded hurriedly.

"That's fine."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, without asking her much about her mental journey.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up, and get ready to continue on our journey."

"what?"

When he heard that he had to continue on his journey, Xu Lan, who was originally excited, instantly became listless again.

She looked at Lin Jiangnian pitifully and asked tentatively: "Can I rest for another day?"

"What? Tired?"

"No, no!"

As if she was worried that Lin Jiangnian would keep her, Xu Lan flatly denied it.

"I, I'm just worried that you're tired!"

"I'm not tired!"

"No, you're tired!"

Xu Lan stared at Lin Jiangnian's pale and weak face: "If you are not tired, why do you look so ugly, you..."

Xu Lan was about to say something when he suddenly realized something.

and many more……

Yup!

Why does this guy look so weak and pale?

It's like... that thing is too much?
Although Xu Lan had no experience, she often heard her maid Xiaolu say that men would become weak if they overdo it.

And Lin Jiangnian's appearance at this moment...

Really a bit similar?!

Why did he suddenly become so weak?
Xu Lan seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes gradually became suspicious.

"You, were in the room with the princess just now..."

"What did you do?!"
