He looks to be in his thirties, still charming and dignified in his manners. This was Chi Chao's first impression of her.
Rouruo was next to Chi Chaan, facing Yufangzhai's head behind the gauze curtain. The atmosphere of the scene was so serious that it was similar to a man going to his girlfriend's house to meet her parents.
"Mr. Chi, do you like my Rouruo?" The leader spoke softly, relaxing the atmosphere.
"What young man wouldn't like this...handsome woman?" Chi Chaan replied.
"Okay then, you can sleep in the same room tonight."
Upon hearing this, Chi Chaan was so shocked that he spat out the tea in his mouth. He quickly refused: "It's better not to, I'm still young."
"Are you still young?" Lin Xingshou asked again.
"At least the body is young now."
Lin Xingshou smiled, this was what she was waiting for.
"Ruo'er, please go outside the door and wait a moment. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Chi."
Rou Ruo thought that the head of the line did not agree with Chi Chaan being with her. Although she did not want to, she still went out.
After Rouruo closed the door, Chi Chaan said straight to the point: "You can ask me whatever you want, but if I answer you a question, you have to promise me something."
"Okay! I don't want to waste any time trying to pry your mouth open. I'll give you one thing in exchange for three questions. Otherwise, there's no need to talk."
"Okay, if I suffer a little loss, I will suffer a loss. If I suffer a loss, I will gain knowledge."
"First question, where did you get the Gentleman's Sword?" asked the leader of the line.
Chi Chao shook his head.
"What? It's not convenient to answer?"
"No, you are asking too simply. Of course the Junzi Sword was awarded by Emperor Gui. This is an answer to the question."
"You... forget it. Second question, what is your relationship with King Nanling?"
"Xingshou is really a kind man, and it's a simple question. What is my relationship with King Nanling? Can't you, the most well-informed Momen, find out? I am the son of his slave!"
Lin Xingshou was extremely shocked when he heard the words "your Momen" coming from Chi Chuan's mouth.
"How do you know about Momen?"
"As the most powerful assassination organization in the Xi Kingdom, you have indeed concealed your whereabouts very well. I also managed to get some clues from the historical records of the Gui Kingdom. In the first year of Shencan, Momen disappeared on the Lizhou Continent. In the eighth year of Shencan, Yu Fangzhai began to be built, and it happened to be the time when the previous Nanling King disappeared. Historical records record that Nanling King Chi Dao had a love affair with Lin He'er, the beloved daughter of Lin Xizhu, the leader of the Momen, because Chi Dao wanted to protect the then Prince, the current Emperor Gui killed many Momen masters who came to assassinate him, so Lin Xizhu prohibited his daughter from interacting with him anymore. But later, Lin Heer discovered that she had Chi Dao's flesh and blood, and she ignored her mother's objections , forcing each other to die. Finally, she gave birth to a daughter, named Lin Lanzhi. This is also a rumor I asked about, but I can’t believe it. The first line, right? "
"What you said is absolutely correct. That's what happened. But aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Lin Xingshou remained calm.
"No, I don't know. You still have many questions to ask me."
Just as Chi Chuan guessed, Lin Xingshou didn't take action.
"Three questions have been asked. So, what do you want me to promise you?" Lin Xingshou asked.
"I want a Momen master who can rival Dan Guiwei to protect me until I am admitted to Guiyuan."
Lin Xingshou shook his head: "Momen specializes in killing people, not protecting people."
"Then kill the person who is about to kill me, is that okay?"
"That's okay, I promise you. Next question, I heard that some practitioners in the Saint Master realm know some secret methods and can turn the soul sea into a soul power seed. If the soul power seed is implanted into a dying person, People can use this body to regain their new life. So, do you know this secret method?"
"No, I don't believe there is such a secret method. Just like you don't believe that I can help you break through two realms from the Grand Master realm to the Saint Master realm within three years. Right?"
When Lin Xing saw Chi Chao say this for the first time, he knew how much potential Chi Chao had. "Okay, second question, when will Li Baitian not be with King Nanling?"
"I advise you to give up. Emperor Gui has arranged for Dangui Guards to protect him. It will be harder for you to kill him than to reach the sky." Chi Chaan dissuaded him.
"What! Dangui Guards! There are only two Dangui Guards in the Gui Kingdom, dedicated to protecting the safety of Emperor Gui. He is so willing to do so." Lin Xingshou suddenly lost his composure, and she desperately wanted to kill Chi Tang.
"The perfect six-pointed soul seal is so rare! Of course it must be protected well."
"That person said that the Soul Seal is scum! There is no difference between the Thread Seal and the Nine Jue Seal."
"Oh? Really? He is so special!"
Lin Xingshou picked up the tea bowl and moistened his mouth: "Last question, are you willing to be my adopted son?"
"Greetings to mother!" Chi Chaan knelt down in response.
Lin Xingshou smiled and said from the air: "Zhi'er, come and see me."
After a while, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a sky blue skirt and holding a sword pushed the door open and came in.
The girl looked at Chi Chaan who was kneeling on the ground strangely, and then said to Lin Xingshou: "Why did mother call me here?"
"Ah Chuan, this is my biological daughter-Lin Lanzhi. She will be your eldest sister from now on." Lin Xingshou directly told Chi Chaan Lin Lanzhi's identity, which showed that she was serious about what she just said.
"Sister." Chi Chaan looked at this sister.
"You are a little brat who comes to Yufangzhai to call for a girl without even showing your hair. I don't feel safe leaving Rouruo to you. She is also your sister, remember."
I didn't have that idea in the first place. Chi Chao was ashamed.
"Yes, Chi Chao will remember his sister's teachings."
"I hope you will keep your word. Your sister and I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Sister, walk slowly."
After Lin Lanzhi left, Chi Chaan turned to Lin Xingshou and said, "Foster mother, my son hasn't thought about that yet. I'll tell you later."
"Okay, if Rouruo knows that she has become your sister, she will definitely be sad. You should comfort her."
Chi Chaan, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and said, "Mother, my son has already figured out how to use that thing."
Lin Xingshou looked out the window and said, "Are you sure you want to use it for Rou Ruo?"
"Yes!" Chi Chao said affirmatively.
"You tell me."
"Ruruo's life is controlled by herself, and no one can interfere with her decision, including you."
Lin Xingshou turned his gaze from the window to Chi Chaan, with a strange look in his eyes: "You are very similar to that person, and the way of dealing with others is also very similar. It's more like that you always consider others, but you are not his Son. I promise you that I will never interfere with Rouruo again."
Although Chi Chaan has achieved his goal of living in Yufangzhai, he has already planted a root of love in Rouruo's heart. This is something he can't change. Chi Chao doesn't know what the outcome will be.
Ever since she learned that Chi Chaan had become the fourteenth adopted son of the leader, Rouruo locked herself in the room. Even if Lin Lanzhi called her, she wouldn't open the door.
The only person who could make her open the door seemed to be Chi Chaan.
Chi Chaan also felt that it was necessary to make it clear to Rouruo. Otherwise, if she committed suicide, wouldn't he have indirectly killed someone?
Chi Chaan came to Rouruo's boudoir and knocked on the door softly: "Ruruo, could you please open the door?"
The wooden door opened immediately, and Rouruo looked haggard and her eyes were red: "Mr. Chi, you are finally here. Please come in."
Rouruo and Chi Chaan were sitting opposite each other, both looking directly into each other's eyes. At this time, Chi Chao was full of guilt.
"Sister Rouruo, mother has promised me that I will not interfere with your freedom in the future. You can like the person you really like."
"My freedom, why should it be me? It can't be someone else? I would be happy to be arranged by my mother to marry you!"
"sorry!"
"What? Why are you saying sorry?"
Chi Chaan told the truth that would make Rou Ruo sad, "I photographed you solely to attract the attention of the leader. I want to stay in Yufangzhai. This way I can survive."
"I don't understand." Rouruo looked puzzled.
"I am the King of Nanling, the fake King of Nanling. Now, the envoys from the Huang Kingdom want to kill me, the King of Nanling wants to kill me, and the King of Ningling also wants to kill me. There are many people hiding in the dark who also want to kill me. I can only survive if I find a backer that they all fear. And, Xingshou is the backer that I like."
"You..., King Nanling? The shadow of King Nanling? How could it be?" Rouruo looked surprised, "Why? Since you don't like me, don't bid for me. You are very misleading."
"It's not that I don't like you, it's just that you just came to Guiguo not long ago, so you probably don't know my situation yet. I haven't been around for a few years, and I can't accept your love. So, let someone else do it."
Rouruo stood up: "I'm not afraid of losing you. Even if it's an indescribable pain, if it's not unforgettable, how can it be called love?"
After hearing Rouruo's words, Chi Chaan knew that it was impossible to refuse.
"Have you thought about it?" Chi Chuan felt relieved.
"My mind has never changed."
"Well, give me two years. If I live past eighteen, I will marry you. Can you wait?"
"I'm willing to wait, brother. Remember, I am your sister, not your elder sister." Rouruo hugged Chi Chaan excitedly.
"Well, for you, I have more faith to live."
