Chapter Two Hundred and Fifteen The Beginning of Love
Xu Dingtian seemed to have something to be busy with. After settling down Lin Ji and others, he left Zhong Ling to greet him and left first.
Zhong Ling did not stay long, but said that he would come and take them to see the excitement in the afternoon, and then left as well.
After the two left, Wu Nan quietly got into the side room and there was no movement.
Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan were the only ones left in the small courtyard, staring with big eyes.
"What should I do?" Lin Ji asked calmly.
He couldn't suffer any loss in this matter, so he didn't really take it to heart.
Zhong Xiaoyan was not a shy person, she bit her lower lip slightly, took the lead in pushing open the door to the wing and walked in.
Seeing Lin Ji still standing at the door, she shouted: "What are you doing standing around? Come in."
"I'm afraid you'll say I took advantage of you." Lin Ji shrugged and walked into the room.
The layout of the room is very simple. The entrance is the living room, further inside, behind a curtain, is a bedroom, and to the other side is the study.
There are some books on the bookshelves in the study room, and some exquisite decorative porcelain can also be seen on the tables and cabinets in the room.
There is a table and four chairs in the living room.
Simple, yet decent layout.
After walking into the room, Lin Ji closed the door and said: "This matter is your own motivation at the beginning. I'm kind-hearted to help you. Now that we live in the same house, don't trouble me if there are any gossips in the future."
."
"Is this girl such an unreasonable person?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked dissatisfiedly.
"Of course not." Lin Ji knew the basics of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
Zhong Xiaoyan gave Lin Ji a hard look, then lowered her head and sat on the chair feeling depressed, saying, "I just don't want to lose to my sister, huh."
"Are things like getting married a competition?"
"Of course, my sister and I have been arguing with each other since we were little. We compete in everything." Zhong Xiaoyan said unconvinced.
"Well, I finally understand." Lin Ji held his forehead.
In the past few days, perhaps because of his presence, the two sisters of the Zhong family had not had many verbal confrontations, but he had seen all the overt and covert rivalry.
Zhong Xiaoyan looked up at Lin Ji.
"Can you beat Xu Dingtian?"
"You don't want me to fight with him, do you? Sister, this is Taiyi Sect's territory."
"It's just a discussion, the kind that doesn't harm the relationship." Zhong Xiaoyan explained.
"Then I have no reason. They arranged accommodation and entertained me with good food and drinks."
Going to Xu Dingtian for a discussion at this time is like someone treating you to a good meal, then giving you a bath and pinching your feet.
When it's over, you say brother, there's nothing you can do in return, just a fight, it's over if I don't beat you up.
What is this?
Zhong Xiaoyan said impatiently: "Just tell me what your chances of winning are. Auntie, I have been dissatisfied with Zhong Ling since I was a child. I can't be inferior to her this time when I compete with men!"
"You're only eighteen years old, right? What the hell is the little girl thinking about all day long?" Lin Ji's face darkened, "And aren't we both fake?"
These words were just blurted out by Lin Ji subconsciously.
But then he discovered that the previous indignation on Zhong Xiaoyan's face had disappeared, and was replaced by a bit of solemnity.
"What...what's wrong?" Lin Ji was startled by the change in her expression.
"Lin Ji."
"ah?"
"Besides you, who else do you think this girl can be good with in the future?"
Zhong Xiaoyan's sudden solemnity made Lin Ji feel uncomfortable for a moment.
But then, he also realized something.
"You...are you going to say this now?" Lin Ji's voice was a little shaky.
On the contrary, it was Zhong Xiaoyan who had a more risk-taking temperament because she directly pierced the window paper.
"The competition to recruit a bride was fake, but it's not fake that I eloped with you. What does elopement mean? Don't you understand?" Gu
Lin Ji was silent.
Of course he understands.
To elope means to be private for life.
To be more specific, the girl's family has handed over her body, and from now on she will not marry anyone but him.
Perhaps it is due to the free love mentality in my previous life, and I have long been accustomed to an open atmosphere.
Maybe I have realized it a long time ago, but I still don't want to mention it.
But at this moment, Zhong Xiaoyan's words finally made Lin Ji unable to pretend anymore.
From the moment Zhong Xiaoyan left the Zhong family in the name of elopement; or, in other words, from the moment Lin Ji was named by this damn girl in the competition to recruit a bride, and then was appointed as his son-in-law by the head of the Zhong family.
There was already constant fighting between the two of them.
After a long silence, Lin Jicai raised his head and looked at Zhong Xiaoyan.
"You are only eighteen years old. According to my hometown, you are just an adult. You are too young."
"Tell me what's wrong with me?" Zhong Xiaoyan raised her chest and raised her head.
"I..." Lin Ji glanced at something and swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
"Besides, you are only in your early twenties, why are you pretending to be a veteran? You have been bragging all day long that you are a veteran in flowers. Your subordinates in Qingyang County have long sold out your experience!" Zhong Xiaoyan laughed out loud.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji's face turned red.
"Is now the time to say this? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have said anything to help you!"
"What, you're blushing now? I've seen you brag to Wu Nan several times, and I'm not afraid to expose you!"
"That's enough. Keep your voice down, don't let him hear it! Girl, you're not shy about saying these things!"
"I am a member of the martial arts world, not a purdah girl who only knows how to embroider." Zhong Xiaoyan was categorically dissatisfied.
"Okay, you're going to be cruel!" Lin Ji was caught with a fatal handle, and was deflated for a moment, feeling a little depressed and speechless.
Zhong Xiaoyan was very proud.
The confrontation continued in silence for a while.
Lin Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, I have to marry you?"
Zhong Xiaoyan was startled.
The previous teasing and teasing had taken away most of her courage to take risks. Now that she mentioned it again, she felt a little coy again.
"No...what else? In what way is this girl not worthy of you?"
"That's not true. I, Lin Ji, am not a blind person." Lin Ji rubbed his face and tried to be more solemn, "You are quite good-looking. Well, don't brag about your beard and glare. You are prettier than your sister, and you have a good figure."
She is better than her. She is beautiful and beautiful. She also has excellent qualifications. She has reached the fourth level at a young age and has a bright future. In addition, she comes from a famous family and is one of the leading cultivating families in Xiangzhou. Her parents are both powerful men.
"
Lin Ji sighed.
"I am from a rural background, with no support and no background. How can I be so virtuous and capable that I can be favored by a beautiful girl like you?"
The first few words were fine, but the last few sentences were made more and more sarcastic by Lin Ji. Zhong Xiaoyan grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and kept rubbing it. She lowered her head and her voice became soft and inaudible.
"Hmph, I...I don't have a crush on you. It's just that the situation forces me to sacrifice something if I want to be free. You are quite pleasing to the eye, and you are not a bad person either. You are quite passable."
Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand across the table, wanting to hold the hand of the woman in front of him who liked to quarrel with him but also brought him warmth.
But after several attempts, I finally lacked the courage and had to give up.
After secretly cursing himself for being embarrassed countless times, Lin Ji suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said: "In any case, let's wait until you are older and I can solve the problem in my heart."
Lin Ji pointed to the location of his chest.
If he doesn't break through to the sixth realm, he will only have three or two years left in his life.
Although this matter seems to be going smoothly at present, it must be truly resolved before we can talk about anything else.
"I didn't say I would marry you now!"
Zhong Xiaoyan felt like her whole body was trembling. She forced herself to calm down and tried to bring the topic back to its original state.
"You haven't told me yet whether you can beat Xu Dingtian or not!"
