son, don't mess around

Chapter 248 Zhiyuan’s awareness

In the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian was quickly cornered by the aggressive Jiang Yuxiang.

Due to the chase, Jiang Yuxiang's breathing was slightly rapid at this moment, his plump chest was rising and falling violently, his face was flushed, his red lips were biting lightly, and his delicate eyes were filled with a hint of shame and anger.

She took a moment to catch her breath, then stepped forward, stretched out her slender jade hands and grasped Lin Jiangnian's ears accurately, and then lifted them up with force.

"Auntie, I was wrong!"

Lin Jiangnian immediately gave up.

"Know it's wrong? It's too late!"

"You little bastard, you dare to bully even your aunt, I have to teach you a lesson today!"

Jiang Yuxiang used force and pulled Lin Jiangnian's ears upwards, fiercely.

"It hurts, it hurts... Auntie, let go, it was wrong, it hurts..."

Lin Jiangnian bared his teeth, half-bent his body, and looked cooperative with a look of pain on his face.

Jiang Yuxiang originally used force in his hands, wanting to teach this guy a lesson, but when he saw that the guy's face was in pain, he subconsciously softened the force in his hands.

"You know what's wrong?"

"understood!"

"Do you dare next time?"

"Don't dare!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Yuxiang let go of him with satisfaction and glared at him again: "Next time you dare to hide it from your aunt, see how I teach you a lesson."

Lin Jiangnian nodded cooperatively.

The aunt in front of me looked fierce. She said she wanted to teach Lin Jiangnian a lesson, but in fact she was not willing to do it. Lin Jiangnian also cooperated very well.

"But auntie, can you please stop pulling your ears next time?"

Lin Jiangnian made suggestions.

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him: "What? Do you have any objections?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I was in front of the crown prince, and someone pulled my ears. How embarrassing would it be if this spread?"

Jiang Yuxiang put his hands on his hips and glared at him: "What about Prince Lin? I'm your aunt, and I can't hold you back?!"

"It's not like I'm a real aunt..."

"What did you say?"

"nothing!"

Lin Jiangnian immediately shook his head.

Don't dare to mess around.

"Humph!"

Jiang Yuxiang hummed again, his eyes falling on Lin Jiangnian in front of him.

It was getting late, and the dim light fell on the young man in front of him. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, the appearance of a young boy had faded away, and Jiang Yuxiang was vaguely in a trance.

He seemed to be thinking of something, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

She sighed deeply in her heart and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Auntie, I know you have other ideas, but this is the capital after all, you must be careful..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help but feel a little scared, and her beautiful eyes trembled slightly: "No matter what, you must live and don't let anything happen."

Lin Jiangnian frowned, wondering why his aunt suddenly said such words.But he still nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, I will be careful."

Jiang Yuxiang didn't speak again, but still stared at Lin Jiangnian's face.

Lin Jiangnian became more and more strange. He looked at the aunt in front of him and saw her looking at him blankly, with some unspeakable emotions in her eyes.

"Auntie..."

Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to ask something, Jiang Yuxiang had already looked away and took a deep breath, "Take good care of yourself. No matter what happens, you must tell your aunt first. Remember?"

"remember."

Lin Jiangnian did not refute and nodded.

"Also, don't bully Zhiyuan."

"..."

Jiang Yuxiang left with a burst of fragrance.

Lin Jiangnian stood there, still feeling a little strange about his aunt tonight.I couldn't tell, but the look in his eyes seemed to be in a trance.

Vaguely, there seems to be a trace of sadness?
Lin Jiangnian frowned and remained silent.

Not long after, footsteps were heard again outside the hospital.

"Your Highness?"

A soft voice came, with a bit of excitement.

"Xiaozhu, are you here?"

Lin Jiangnian turned his head, and in his sight, Xiaozhu, who was wearing a light-colored chest-length skirt, was running up to His Highness with small steps. A delicate and small face was breathing hot air, panting: "Your Highness, Your Highness, letter, letter …”

The little maid put her hands on her chest, took out a letter, and handed it to Lin Jiangnian like a treasure.

"letter?"

Lin Jiangnian took the letter, and there was still a bit of girlish warmth and a faint fragrance on the envelope.

"Whose letter?"

"No, I don't know."

The little maid shook her head blankly and explained: "Yes, someone from outside sent it, saying that it would be given to His Highness."

"Outside?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned. He had just arrived in the capital and knew no one. Who would send him a letter?

"Yes, she is a beautiful sister..."

The little maid thought for a while and described the messenger's appearance to His Highness: "Although that sister has covered her appearance, she still feels very beautiful..."

Pretty sister?

Lin Jiangnian thoughtfully lowered his head and opened the letter in his hand.

There is only one short line in the letter.

"Tomorrow afternoon, see you in the West Alley Courtyard of the capital."

The delicate handwriting can be seen at a glance that it was written by a woman.Other than that, there are no clues in the letter.

Lin Jiangnian stared at the contents of the letter thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The little maid on the side came over curiously.

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly, put the letter in his arms, and looked back at Xiaozhu aside.

Being stared at by His Highness, Xiaozhu's petite body trembled and he blinked his eyes: "Your Highness, I still have something to do. Let's go first..."

Xiaozhu turned around and wanted to run.

The next second, Lin Jiangnian grabbed him and pulled him directly into his arms.

"ah!"

Xiaozhu exclaimed, her little face full of panic. Before she could recover, her warm breath came closer and lingered in her ears: "What? Can't you hide from me?"

"No, no..."

Xiaozhu's pretty face immediately turned red and she shook her head in panic.

"Then why have you been avoiding me these days?"

Ever since he was caught by Zhiyuan that night, Xiaozhu has been avoiding him as if nothing in the past few days.

This little girl, her wings are hard?

Xiaozhu's delicate body was tense, her heartbeat was racing, and she was very nervous. Her eyes looked outside the small courtyard in a panic: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you will be seen by Sister Zhiyuan..."

"It's okay, she's not at home now."

As Lin Jiangnian spoke, he picked up Xiaozhu with one hand on his waist.The little maid's frail and boneless body was like cotton.

Xiaozhu exclaimed, and subconsciously wrapped his arms around His Highness's neck. His whole body tensed up nervously, and his mind was confused and blank.By the time she came to her senses, her body had fallen into a soft place.

Xiaozhu's face became increasingly red with embarrassment and panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't do it... Man, that person is here..."

Lin Jiangnian paused when he was about to take off his clothes and said suspiciously, "Really?"

Xiaozhu's face was red, her eyes were as charming as silk, she was nervous and shy: "...Yeah."

There was silence for a moment.

"Come, I will teach you another trick!"...

backyard.

The cold wind was sharp, rustling the withered yellow trees.Between heaven and earth, the deep winter chill permeates the air.

Lin Jiangnian stood in the courtyard wearing only thin clothes.The cold wind pierced his skin like a sharp knife, but he couldn't feel the slightest chill.

In his hand, he was holding the Autumn Water Sword, the sword's light rippled and glowed with green light.

When he left Linjiang City, Senior Li handed the sword into Lin Jiangnian's hands.However, so far, he still has not been able to use this sword to its full potential.

The edge of the sword is sharp and the cold light is wanton.

Lin Jiangnian, who was holding the sword, opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a warm air flowing out, filling the air with the sword in his hand. In an instant, he raised the long sword in his hand, and his body swayed.

Between heaven and earth, sword energy permeates the sky and the earth.

Not long after, the backyard was a mess with sword marks.

"Crash!"

Not far ahead, a big tree as thick as a man's waist collapsed.

Lin Jiangnian's figure stopped in place, breathing slightly quickly, and blood surged in his body. He looked at the big tree in front of him that was chopped off by a sword, and he felt a little trance-like and unreal.

On the way to Beijing, Lin Jiangnian did not slack off in martial arts training. He would practice his internal strength as usual every day, practicing the swordsmanship taught by Senior Li, as well as the martial arts taught to him by Zhiyuan Lin Qingqing and others.

Before arriving in the capital, Lin Jiangnian's strength had already passed the seventh level and had vaguely touched the threshold of the sixth level.

After being seriously injured outside the city, after being rescued by the Jinxiu girl, and after being fed those herbs, Lin Jiangnian's internal strength almost doubled, and he was almost on the verge of reaching the fifth level.

To be precise, Lin Jiangnian has already half stepped into the fifth rank.

This increase in strength is already terrifying.

The swordsmanship taught to him by Senior Li was too profound for Lin Jiangnian, who had not yet become proficient in martial arts, to understand it. In particular, the "Nine Techniques of the Sword", the unique technique on which the swordsmanship is famous, was completely unable to be used.

Now that Lin Jiangnian's inner strength has reached this point, the power of "Nine Arts of Sword" has finally been gradually revealed.

Lin Jiangnian was shocked when he looked at the messy backyard in front of him and the fierceness of the sword energy.This "Nine Techniques of Sword" is indeed the supreme art of swordsmanship. Senior Li is right. If you can practice this set of sword techniques to the extreme, I am afraid there will really be few opponents in the world.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and continued practicing his sword.

Nowadays, his internal strength is as strong as that of Wuxiang Realm, but it is almost equivalent to an enlightenment, and his own strength has not kept up, let alone his experience against the enemy.

He still needs time to digest, practice and adapt until he is completely stable in this situation.

In the backyard, under the eaves not far away, Xiaozhu was wrapped in a thick dress and sitting on a small bench under the eaves. Looking at the scene in the backyard, his little eyes were wide open and full of shock.

Your Highness... you are so disgusting!

The figure in the courtyard looked thin, but there was an extremely explosive aura under his clothes, which made Xiaozhu fascinated for a while.

During this journey to Beijing, she was the maid who had been with His Highness the longest and closest to him, and she was also the person who knew His Highness best.

"Your Highness...it's really getting better and better."

Xiaozhu's eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at His Highness in the courtyard.

Looking at that figure, I vaguely remembered His Highness being in the room not long ago...

...Your Highness is so shameless!
Thinking of this, Xiaozhu's face turned red.At this moment, she vaguely caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye.

He was startled for a moment: "Zhi, Sister Zhiyuan?"

A cold figure appeared under the eaves at some point, quietly looking at the figure who was practicing sword practice in the backyard.

For some reason, Xiaozhu suddenly felt guilty. When facing Sister Zhiyuan, she felt inexplicably guilty.

Seeing Sister Zhiyuan's gaze, Xiaozhu shrank his head: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is practicing..."

Zhiyuan's expression was neither cold nor indifferent, and he glanced at her: "Go and prepare hot water for His Highness. Your Highness needs to take a bath after practicing."

"Yes……"

Xiaozhu lowered his head, got up and trotted away.

He had just taken two steps when he passed by Zhiyuan and was stopped again.

"What, what's wrong?"

Zhiyuan sniffed gently, her beautiful eyes fell on Xiaozhu, a trace of doubt flashed across her face, but she still didn't speak, staring at Xiaozhu's face.

"fine."

Zhiyuan's face was expressionless.

"Then, that slave will go down first..."

Xiaozhu lowered her head. After escaping from the small courtyard, she breathed a guilty sigh of relief, patted her chest that was not high, and said to herself.

"Sister Zhiyuan probably didn't notice... right?"

He muttered a few words to himself uneasily, then thought of something quickly, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks.

……

Inside the backyard.

As Lin Jiangnian's last sword fell.

"boom!"

Sword Qi unsheathed.

Another big tree fell suddenly.

Lin Jiangnian stood there, breathing rapidly. The Xuanyang mind method in his body was running rapidly, and a steady stream of internal energy poured in, driving away the fatigue from the body.

He was covered in sweat and his breath was filled with heat.

carefree!

It is obvious that his swordsmanship is faster and his swordsmanship is one step closer.

However, there is currently no one who can fight against him, and Lin Jiangnian is not sure where his swordsmanship has reached.

It seems that I need to find someone to practice my skills with.

After standing there for a while, Lin Jiangnian sheathed his sword and turned around. Only then did he notice the cold figure under the eaves not far away.

"Paper kite?"

Lin Jiangnian was surprised: "When did you come?"

Zhiyuan, who was wearing a thin long skirt, stood under the eaves. The cold wind in the hall blew her fallen hair, as if it was going to blow away her thin body.

"Just here."

The voice was still so lukewarm.

There seemed to be some strange emotions.

When Lin Jiangnian walked under the eaves and wanted to say something to her happily, Zhiyuan just shook his head gently: "Let's take a shower first."

Lin Jiangnian, who had just finished practicing, was covered in cold sweat, and the cold winter wind was blowing, which might be bad for his health.

Lin Jiangnian is not worried. He has practiced the Xuanyang Mind Technique.At this moment, his energy and blood were surging, and his whole body was filled with heat, and he was not afraid of the howling cold wind.

However, it was really uncomfortable to be sweating all over. Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Then I will take a shower first and then come to you!"

Xiaozhu, who had left earlier, had already ordered the hot water to be boiled and was waiting to serve His Highness.

Outside the door, Xiaozhu, holding a towel and clothes, was about to step into the bathroom when he was stopped by a cold figure behind him.

Xiaozhu turned around and caught a glimpse of Zhiyuan's cold figure, looking at him.

"Paper, sister Zhiyuan?"

Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes fell on her, then on the towel and clothes in her hands, and said calmly: "You go down first."

"But……"

Xiaozhu looked confused. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Zhiyuan's expressionless voice again: "Put it here."

Xiaozhu was startled and subconsciously put the towel and clothes aside.

"You go down first. You are not allowed to come here without my order."

"Oh."

Xiaozhu nodded vaguely and turned to leave.

At the door, Zhiyuan stood there, looking at the towels and clothes next to him, silent, and turned around to leave.

However, just after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped again.

Turning around, he continued to stare at the towels and clothes over there.

His expression was still cold, with a hint of hesitation shining in his eyes.
