Chapter 49

  It's unclear whether Lin Daiyu sensed the familiar and comfortable aura on Lin Ruolan, but she quickly stopped crying; after seeing Lin Ruolan speak to her, she actually started giggling.

  Lin Ruhai said with a slightly bitter tone: "Sister, it's true that Yu'er is still most attached to you; even we parents can't compare."

  For the past three years, Lin Ruhai's relationship with Jia Min and her husband has remained lukewarm, but in the eyes of outsiders; Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are a pair of acknowledged divine couples.

  Especially in the few years since Lin Ruhai and Xia Jia got married, apart from his legitimate wife, Jiā Mǐn, he didn't even have a single concubine or servant girl; who knows how many women were jealous of her.

  Unfortunately... no one knows how bitter Jia Min's heart is. It turns out that this world is not just about seeking but not getting, which is the real bitterness; sometimes getting it is not as good as not having gotten it at all, and at least in one's own heart, there will be a most beautiful thought.

  After three years of marriage, Jia Min was no longer the spoiled and delicate eldest daughter she once was in Rongguo Mansion; all her sharp edges had been worn away over the years.

  Especially after Lin Ruhai moved back to Yangzhou with his family, Jia Min was thoroughly transparent in the Lin Mansion; what else could she do?

  When the Lin family was still in Beijing, they could at least find a place to vent their grievances; but now that the Lin family has come to Yangzhou, with thousands of miles of road... it's really a case of "the whip is too short to reach".

  The only thing that brought some comfort to Jia Min was the unexpected arrival of Lin Daiyu, this daughter; it gave Jia Min a glimmer of hope for the future.

  Lin Ruo Lan raised an eyebrow and smiled at Lin Ru Hai, who was nonchalant: "Brother, you're really shameless. As someone who's already a father, you still have the nerve to be jealous of your own sister."

  "Little Jade, you say is it or not?" Lin Ruolan kissed Lin Daiyu's small face and teased her.

  Lin Daiyu did not disappoint her own aunt, after a string of "yi yi ya ya", another burst of clear and crisp "heh heh" laughter rang out.

  Because there was still a lame monk and a crippled Taoist who were eager to settle the matter, Lin Ruolan did not say much to Lin Ruhai.

  Lin Ruo Lan usually hid her breath when she was at home, and the only purpose of doing so was not to bring unnecessary trouble to her family. After all, this was a world where humans coexisted with demons and monsters; no one knew what this world was like.

  It is better to be safe than sorry; a little caution goes a long way.

  This will be Lin Ruolan's debut, and won't that blind monk and crippled Taoist priest both be left in the dust?

  "Huh…… Brother Dao, how come Lin Ruhai has a sister?" The bald-headed monk saw Lin Ruolan and asked the lame Taoist in surprise: "Didn't Jue Xuan Xianzi say that Lin Ruhai was a three-generation single-transmitted short-lived physiognomy? What's going on here?"

  Not to mention the foolish monk, even the lame Taoist had a look of bewilderment: "This poor Taoist is not very clear either, could it be that Fairy Jinghuang made an error in her calculations?"

  The lame Taoist looked at the beautiful girl with a smile, who was holding a jade pearl, and his eyes were shocked no less than those of Li and the monk; The lame Taoist looked at Lin Ruolan's face, which was unbelievable, and muttered to himself: "Physiognomy... how can this girl's physiognomy be impenetrable even to me? How is this possible?"

  The lame Taoist was best at observing people's faces and helping them resolve their doubts, but the beauty in front of him, a young girl, gave him a feeling of being on top of a high mountain; wasn't the other party just an ordinary person?

  "Bai Zhi, come and hold Xiao Yu'er." Lin Ruolan drew a calming symbol on Lin Daiyu's forehead with her finger, then handed the peacefully sleeping Lin Daiyu over to Bai Zhi.

  At the same time, he also instructed Bai Zhu and Mo Zhu: "Bai Zhu, Mo Zhu, you two must take good care of Xiaoyu and don't let her be kidnapped by anyone."

  Lin Ruolan said with a hint of meaning, while casting a glance at the bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist.

  Uh... The bald monk and the lame Taoist were both startled at the same time, and a thought flashed through their minds simultaneously; did this girl already know their backgrounds?

  "Sister!" Lin Ruhai didn't know what trickery Lin Ruolan had up her sleeve, and called out to her in concern.

  "Brother, don't worry!" Lin Ruolan gave Lin Ruhai a reassuring glance and said with a smile: "Don't forget, brother, your sister is not some weak and helpless woman; I can handle this trivial matter of one monk and one nun."

  Lin Ruolan's words caused Cui Tou Da Lu and Bo Bi Dao Zhe to change their faces greatly, hum... what a big tone!

  Lin Ruhai's face revealed a wry smile, Alas... this younger sister is really something. Even if you really have the ability to drive away the monk and the Taoist in front of you, there's no need to say it out loud. Now look at what's happened... What will you do if others become wary?

  Lin Ruo Lan slowly walked to the front of Cui Tou and Zhang Gui, she looked at both of them with a hint of a smile; then only said one sentence and made the faces of the monk and the Taoist change suddenly.

  Lin Ruolan smiled and said to the two people: "Bald-headed monk, lame Taoist, you two seem to have come too early? How about it? Did your family's Jing Huan fairy tell you to come so early?"

  Damn it!

  Damn it!

  Lin Ruolan's words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, stunning the two men, Cui Tou Daoren and Bo Ye, into a daze; what the...?! This was too frightening! How did the other side know their names and backgrounds? And... even Jing Xianzi knew everything clearly?!

  The bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist exchanged a quick glance, both of them seeing unadulterated shock in each other's eyes.

  "Amitabha... Miss, you've misunderstood. This humble monk and Daoist brother have come to your esteemed residence merely to form a benevolent connection with the young mistress of the house." The bald-headed monk smiled and proclaimed a Buddhist mantra to Lin Ruolan.

  "That's right!" The lame Taoist priest chimed in from the side after hearing what the bald-headed monk said.

  "What's good?"

  Lin Ruo Lan looked at the bald monk and the lame Taoist priest with a cold smile: "Hmph... good karma, so according to you two, good karma means letting someone's young mistress leave home to suffer?"

  "Girl, you're wrong!"

  Facing Lin Ruolan's blunt accusation, the lame Taoist was not annoyed. He explained in a good temper: "The young lady of your esteemed mansion is an early death omen. If you don't let me and Buddhist brother take the young lady away today, I'm afraid that soon your mansion will turn joyful events into funeral affairs, and it will be very difficult for the young lady to grow up safely."

  "Really?"

  Lin Ruo Lan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Are you saying that, lame Taoist priest, because there is no one in the Lin family to deceive?"

  Lin Ruolan's aura changed suddenly, and she released all the suppressed aura within her; that vast aura was something even Cui Tou and Shang Zan could not withstand.

  "Hmph... how dare you!" Lin Ruolan's aura was so overwhelming that Cai Tou and the crippled Taoist priest almost spat out blood.

  The girl in front of her was standing there quietly, but the terrifying aura emanating from her body made people shiver; every move she made seemed to give off an air of returning to simplicity and truth, and the bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist priest seemed to have seen a faint golden light emanating from Lin Ruolan's body.

  "Immortal... spare my life!"

  Two loud thuds sounded, one in front and one behind. The bald-headed Taoist and the lame Daoist knelt down with a look of fear on their faces: "Immortal maiden, we are just two small scattered cultivators. This time we came to your mansion completely because we were forced by that Jue Xuan Immortal Maiden; please enlighten us."

  It turns out that this bald head and the monk are two discerning guys, the overwhelming strength that Lin Ruolan showed just now is something that the two of them can't keep up with even if they work together.

  At the same time, both monks and Taoists had a small idea in their minds. Originally, they were forced to come by the warning of the police fairy; this time just happened to directly sell the police fairy to Lin Ruolan's face, thinking that it would be good for them to go and fight each other themselves.

  Lin Ruolan didn't mind the little thoughts of the bald-headed monk and the crippled Taoist, what she was concerned about was... the matter of scattered cultivation that the bald-headed monk and the crippled Taoist had just mentioned.

  Scattered Practitioner, as the name suggests, refers to a type of person who practices on their own without any sect or school affiliation.

  However, in the Dream of Red Mansions, isn't it said that this crippled monk and the lame Taoist are two people from Taixu Xiangjing Li Hen Tian Guan Chou Hai? How did they become loose cultivators here?

  Lin Ruo Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and she looked at the monk who was still crawling on the ground with a thoughtful expression; it seemed that the so-called Jing Huan Xian Zi wasn't a good bird either?

  "You two, please pass on a message for me to Jing Huan Xian Zi." Lin Ruo Lan glanced at Cui Tou and Zou Jiao Dao Shi with a faint expression: "Tell her not to spend all day thinking about other people's children. Whether our family's Xiao Yu has good fortune or not is not up to her to decide; as her aunt, I will naturally worry about her, so there's no need for Jing Huan Xian Zi to concern herself."

  "Yes!"

  The bald-headed monk respectfully replied: "Your disciple will certainly carry out your instructions, immortal one."

  "Remember this, if either of you dares to have ideas about our family's Xiaoyu again; I won't be as polite as I was today, humph..."

  Lin Ruo Lan looked at the bald monk and the lame Taoist with a smile that was not quite a smile, and the last soft hum was emitted using her spiritual power. Lin Ruohai, Jia Min, and others did not feel anything out of place, but when the bald monk and the lame Taoist heard it, they were like being struck by lightning, and a thread of deep red blood slowly dripped from the corners of their mouths after a moment of stunned silence.

  With just a soft hum, the two of them suffered internal injuries; Monk Hui and Daoist Qu were simultaneously pale, their faces as white as a sheet with not a hint of blood color.

  The two of them knew that this was Lin Ruolan's warning to herself, so the two people who were very stylish when they came out made a shameful exit under the gaze of Lin Ruolan, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Bai Zhi.

  What was supposed to be a disastrous farce ended up being beautifully wrapped up.
