Chapter Ninety-Four

  Lin Ruolan's face had turned a ghastly pale behind her white veil, especially as she gazed at the master and servant sitting by the fire pit, only two steps away from herself. Her expression grew increasingly unsightly.

  If it weren't for the white veil covering her face at this moment, the degree of distortion would surely scare little children to tears; cough... Of course, that's impossible.

  To sum it up in one sentence, Lin Ruolan's mood was affected by the master and servant in front of her, making her look unpleasant, which is true.

  With the help of the firelight, it was clear that the master and servant in front were a young nobleman and a small servant boy. From their clothes and demeanor, it could be seen that these two men were either rich or born into a good family.

  The young master looked like he was no more than twenty years old, wearing a dark-colored robe with elegant bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on it; the fabric seemed to be neither silk nor satin, but rather an extremely rare ice silkworm silk; the white edges of his sleeves and collar complemented the sheep fat jade hairpin on his head.

  Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but feel a slight astonishment when she first saw this person; the other's eyebrows and eyes were all refined to the extreme, if it was just pure good looks that would be one thing.

  Lin Ruo Lan however felt a very familiar feeling from the other party's body, on the other party's body Lin Ruo Lan actually saw her own brother Lin Ru Hai's shadow.

  If it's said that Lin Ruhai gave Lin Ruolan the feeling of a person walking out of an ink wash painting; then undoubtedly the man in front of her was even more elegant and picturesque than Lin Ruhai, a bright and beautiful aura infecting everyone around him from between his eyebrows.

  When Lin Ruolan saw him for the first time, he was pale and haggard with no trace of blood; although his face was not smiling, Lin Ruolan still saw a faint smile in his clear eyes.

  There was also the young servant beside him, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old; Lin Ruolan felt that the other party's internal strength was very thick, and the man also had a strong internal strength; just talking about martial arts, this master and servant should be quite fierce!

  It turned out that someone was able to easily recreate the master-slave relationship, which piqued Lin Ruo Lan's curiosity; it was precisely because of these two points that Lin Ruo Lan, who had not planned to intervene in this trivial matter, unexpectedly intervened and saved the two people.

  This rescue has caused big trouble, Lin Ruolan never thought that she would end up saving a pair of sticky candies; looking at the injuries getting better afterwards, the master and servant still haven't left with any intention to leave; Lin Ruolan's mood is becoming increasingly unpleasant.

  Damn it!

  It's a good thing that can't be done! If it's like this, then Lin Ruo Lan decided that from now on she won't be such a nice person anymore.

  But the most urgent thing is to get rid of these two sticky candies as soon as possible, and she's in a hurry to go to Nanguo Town!

  It's said that one can't gain wisdom without experiencing things, and this saying is not false at all; Lin Ruo Lan went through this matter and finally truly understood; what it means by "don't judge people by appearance" and "can't measure the ocean with a bucket".

  It's really hard to tell, a banished immortal with eyes like a painting of a young noble; but his behavior is completely opposite to his appearance, going in the opposite direction.

  It's actually her own fault, after leaving her home; Lin Ruolan should have used the teleportation symbol to head to Nanguo Town, but strangely this girl suddenly had a change of heart; and then she suddenly remembered that Yangzhou is not very far from West Lake.

  She thought that since in this world of the Red Chamber, there can be a Xuanxin Zhengzong; there can be Jinguang, Sima San Niang, Yan Chixia, Yan Hongye... then isn't it also possible to have Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Xu Xian and Fa Hai?

  Hehe... sister haha! It seems you're thinking too much, who says that in the world of Red Chamber and Legend of Concubine; there must be a White Snake legend? You actually think you're a screenwriter? Want to mess with whatever you want.

  Then Lin Ruolan suddenly became enthusiastic, and immediately used the teleportation symbol to leave Yangzhou City. But where was she going? Not Nanguo Town, but Leifeng Tower in West Lake. Anyway, with the teleportation symbol in hand, even if she really rushed for time, she wouldn't care about half a day.

  This result is naturally self-evident, and the white snake and green snake have not been seen; but a pair of cowhide candies were picked up.

  Lin Ruo Lan gazed coldly at the master and servant duo, who were only two steps away from her. Her eyes held a hint of detachment as she said in a clear, cold voice: "Since you two are unwilling to reveal your names, and seeing that both of your injuries have almost healed, let's go our separate ways once dawn breaks tomorrow!"

  As soon as this is mentioned, Lin Ruo Lan feels annoyed; she feels like vomiting, and not only did she kindly save the master and servant duo, but they also transformed into sticky candy that clings to her and won't let go. What's even more infuriating is that this pair of master and servant don't even want to reveal their names to her.

  Damn it!

  What the...?! Are people in this generation treating their lifesavers like this?!

  Lin Ruo Lan was furious! What the...?! Didn't books and TV shows, movies all say that ancient people considered saving a life to be extremely important?!

  There's a phrase that often comes to mind, "A life-saving favor is repaid with one's body." You can't really say you'll repay it with your body, right? Uh... At the very least, shouldn't you tell this lifesaver your name?

  Are people these days all like this?

  Lin Ruolan was depressed and her mind was momentarily muddled; after all, what kind of weird master and servant had she rescued?

  "Master!" A young man in a dark blue robe directly ignored Lin Ruolan's words, and instead respectfully called out to the man in black robes.

  Lin Ruo Lan was thoroughly speechless, she had never been ignored like this before; indeed good people can't do anything, kind intentions are struck by lightning!

  "Hmph... I swear, from now on, I'll absolutely never be a good person again; Lin Ruolan, furious and exasperated, silently scorned the heavens with all her might."

  Yun Hai was actually deeply grateful to Lin Ruolan in his heart; if it weren't for Lin Ruolan's timely intervention yesterday, he and his master would probably have lost their lives already.

  It's just that the master's status is noble, and this girl appeared a bit too mysterious; for the safety of the master, Yunhai had no choice but to ignore Lin Ruolan's words.

  I forgot to mention that the location where Lin Ruolan saved Yun Hai and his servant was a bit remote and desolate; hmm... it's a bit of a wilderness, you could say it's quite desolate.

  Yunhai and his master, who was seriously injured, fled in a state of panic and accidentally entered the chaotic burial mound. Not only did they get lost inside, but they also became trapped.

  But Lin Ruolan was different, think about it; a delicate and charmingly dressed lady from a good family, with a veil covering her face; especially when she appeared alone at the chaotic burial mound, the most important thing was that her skills were so high that even he couldn't keep up.

  The other party suddenly appeared and saved both himself and his master. Was this a coincidence or intentional? Yun Hai would harbor doubts about Lin Ruolan until he and his master were truly safe at home; this was also an understandable thing to do.

  Lin Ruo Lan didn't think that much, at this moment the angry Lin Ruo Lan only knew; she rarely did a good deed, who would have thought that the people she saved were not worthy of it; unexpectedly saving two ungrateful people, it's strange if she wasn't angry; but what she didn't expect was that there was another reason behind this.

  In fact, the identity of the man in black is very noble, at least in the mortal world his status can be said to be extremely rich and noble; Moreover, he is extremely honorable. The true identity of the man in black is actually the current Crown Prince Water Tianhao; As for why Water Tianhao was being pursued and killed?

  It's all because of that lofty and supreme position, the current Emperor is already old; apart from the current Crown Prince Shui Tianhao, the current Emperor also has a third prince and a fifth and sixth prince under his knees. Although there aren't many sons, there are still four after all. Unfortunately, that chair only has one seat.

  Although the current emperor is quite wise and had long ago declared his heir, unfortunately that high chair was just too attractive; as a result, Shui Tianhao became the target of assassination by his several brothers.

  There was one thing that Lin Ruolan did not know, this time Shui Tianhao secretly went to Jiangnan; in fact, it was just to see his own brother Lin Ruhai.

  Originally, over the past two years, the current Emperor felt that his body was declining day by day; in his heart, he began to prepare for the transition of power, especially since the national treasury had been empty for several years. In order to leave a rich and prosperous country for Crown Prince Shui Tianhao, a peaceful and flourishing world.

  The current Emperor has set his sights on the Jiangnan Salt Administration, who let this Jiangnan be the richest place in every dynasty; thus there was the secret trip of Water Heaven Huan to Jiangnan.

  To put it simply, the purpose of this trip to Jiangnan is to read out the imperial edict of the current Emperor to Lin Ruhai and let him think of ways to make a move in the salt administration of Jiangnan so that the national treasury can become more prosperous.

  This time, Shui Tianhao's journey to Jiangnan was originally extremely secretive, but somehow his itinerary was still leaked; from the moment Shui Tianhao left the capital, there were constant assassinations along the way; originally when leaving the capital, there were a total of eighty-six guards by Shui Tianhao's side; who would have thought that now only Yunhai is left.

  For Water Tianhao and Yun Hai, who had become startled birds, Lin Ruolan's appearance was so timely and sudden; it was normal for them to be wary of Lin Ruolan, this was also a normal thing that couldn't be normal.

  Shui Tianhao was equally curious about Lin Ruolan, as the proud son of heaven and the current crown prince; what kind of rare treasures had he not seen before? He actually couldn't recognize what precious things were on Lin Ruolan's body, from her clothes to her accessories.

  Just by looking at her, from her clothes to the jade pendants and bracelets on her hands; none of them were ordinary objects. It was precisely because of this that Shui Tianhao's mind became increasingly suspicious about Lin Ruolan's identity.

  It is often said that there are no one-sided reasons for things, after all, a single palm cannot make a slapping sound!
