Chapter 137 Not the Ideal Husband! East courtyard. After Yang Kai and Gong Mingyuan left, Jiang Ning also went back to continue his practice. As for the Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill, he placed it solemnly in his room. The skin refining has not yet been fully accomplished, and the membrane has not yet reached the level of being as tough as copper, so it is not suitable for refining this Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill. The medicinal power of this pill is too strong, and it has been tempered by the power of dragon and tiger. It will cause his muscles to undergo tremendous transformation in a short period of time. This sudden and violent transformation may cause irreparable damage if the membrane and skin are not strong enough. The body may break apart as a result. This kind of thing has happened before.
Therefore, there are steps of first refining the skin and then refining the strength. These are the experiences summarized step by step by our predecessors. So Jiang Ning continued to temper his skin membrane, and practiced boxing to increase his Qi and blood as well as his experience in the Five Animals Boxing. During breaks, I would read books to improve my ability to read and write. Originally Jiang Ning thought that he could practice martial arts peacefully for a few days until the Inspectorate was established. That night. "Little green girl." Jiang Ning looked surprised when he saw the little green girl in a green dress appearing in front of him. "Master Jiang!" Xiao Lu bowed gracefully, and then said, "My host wants to discuss something with you. I wonder if you are willing to come to the appointment." "Of course I am willing." Jiang Ning nodded. He understood that the building owner Xiaolu was referring to was naturally the deputy building owner Lin Qingyi. In Luoshui County, Wanhua Tower had three owners before, one principal and two deputies. However, the real owner of the building has not appeared for many years and is probably not in Wanhua Building now. Before, Shen Congyun and Lin Qingyi were the ones in charge. Later, because Shen Congyun was transferred, now the entire Wanhua Building in Luoshui County is managed by Lin Qingyi alone. So there is no doubt that the owner of the building that Miss Lu mentioned must be Lin Qingyi. Subsequently. Jiang Ning said, "Miss Xiaolu, please wait outside the courtyard for a while. I want to take a shower first and then go with you." "Okay, Master Jiang, I'll be waiting for you outside the yard." Xiaolu said.
Wanhua Building. When Jiang Ning and Xiaolu arrived, it was already four quarters past ten. Night had already fallen. However, the street where Wanhua Building is located is still brightly lit and bustling. "Mr. Jiang, please follow me upstairs." Xiaolu raised her hand and gestured. After a while. Jiang Ning came to the attic on the top of the building. The attic was silent at this time, and Lin Qingyi did not seem to be there. Seeing Jiang Ning's inquiring gaze, Xiao Lu said, "Mr. Jiang, please wait here for a moment and look at the night scene below. I will go and invite the host." "Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded and agreed to Xiaolu's arrangement. Then he sat down on the open-air terrace. Xiaolu prepared a pot of herbal tea and some fruits for him, then took her leave. Jiang Ning was sitting on an open-air terrace at this time, and he could see the night view of the bustling street below by lowering his head. Even though it is the fourth quarter of the evening, the area below is still bustling with many men and women coming and going. The roadsides are also hung with colorful lanterns, which are very beautiful. If you look up, you can see the bright moonlight. While drinking herbal tea and eating fruits, he quietly waited for Lin Qingyi to show up. Lin Qingyi came to see him so late, and it seemed that she had something important to discuss with him. After the cup of tea. Tread-tap- A clear sound of footsteps came from the stairs. "coming!" Hearing the clear footsteps, Jiang Ning knew it must be Lin Qingyi coming. After a while. Lin Qingyi's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. At this time, Lin Qingyi was still wearing a green floor-length skirt, with a layer of gauze wrapped around the outside of the skirt. Because the weather is very hot now, the clothes Lin Qingyi wears are not thick, or rather very thin. The soft fabric clung to her skin, highlighting her majestic and graceful figure.
Behind Lin Qingyi, Xiaolu was still following closely. After seeing Jiang Ning, Lin Qingyi raised her hand to signal, and Xiaolu immediately stopped at the entrance of the building. Jiang Ning was holding a cup of tea and motioning to Lin Qingyi with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Lin Qingyi also responded with a smile. "Why do I feel that your temperament has changed recently?" Lin Qingyi came in front of Jiang Ning and said curiously. Jiang Ning smiled: "How can I change? On the contrary, Sister Lin is getting more and more beautiful!" Lin Qingyi smiled slightly when she heard this. Then she adjusted her skirt and sat down opposite Jiang Ning: "I feel that you are more confident than before." Hearing Lin Qingyi's words, Jiang Ning was slightly surprised. Surprised at Lin Qingyi's meticulous observation. Last night he easily killed Qiu Shilong, the forger's boss, and today Gong Mingyuan came to show his goodwill, which really boosted his confidence. Whether it is Qiu Shilong or Gong Mingyuan. They were all big figures that he could never reach before. And today, a big shot like Gong Mingyuan wanted to show his goodwill to him, personally came to his house to give him gifts, and revealed what happened last night. How could his mentality not change? Jiang Ning then smiled and said, "Sister Lin is indeed very observant. My strength has improved slightly recently." Hearing this, Lin Qingyi was also surprised. "It's only been a few days, and I can hear from you that there has been a slight improvement. It seems that your progress in skin refining is very good!" Jiang Ning smiled without comment. Then he asked, "I wonder why Sister Lin invited me here so late today?" Lin Qingyi had a smile on her lips at this moment. "The willow head on the moon, after about dusk." "You said it's so late, what's the point?" As she spoke, Lin Qingyi left her seat. With his hands resting on the table, he leaned forward slightly and looked at Jiang Ning. There seems to be a hint of affection in her eyes. "Uh" Jiang Ning was also stunned when he heard this. Because when Lin Qingyi leaned forward with her hands on the table, he saw a hint of white and majestic mountains accidentally revealed when Lin Qingyi leaned over. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and leaned back slightly.
"Sister Lin, stop making fun of me!" Jiangning Road. At this moment, Lin Qingyi also seemed to have noticed something. The blush on her face flashed away, and she quickly sat back in the chair behind her. Then she adjusted her dress and slightly lifted the skirt in front of her. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Lin Qingyi said seriously. Then she added, “Remember what I told you before?” "What's the matter?" Jiang Ning was a little confused. "Do you want a woman who can warm the bed?" Lin Qingyi said. "Uh..." Jiang Ning was slightly stunned again after hearing that. Seeing this, Lin Qingyi smiled and said, "I said before that I would find a girl for you. Now I have found one and she is waiting downstairs. Do you want to meet her?" "You are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married." Hearing these words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Can the fear of blind dates still be escaped even if we change the world? "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement!" Lin Qingyi said firmly before Jiang Ning could even speak. next moment. She waved to Xiaolu at the entrance of the balcony: "Xiaolu, come here!" Xiaolu, wearing a green dress, hurriedly ran over. "Master!" She bowed gracefully. Lin Qingyi said, "Go down and call Jiaer up." "Yes, host!" Xiaolu bowed again and then retreated in a hurry. Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning’s mouth, which had just opened, closed again. never mind! He shook his head secretly. It would be nice to meet first. If you meet the right person, it is not impossible to get married and have children. After a while. Xiaolu appeared in front of the two again. Behind her, followed a girl with a delicate face. The girl had extremely delicate eyebrows and features, blood-red lips, and a dot of cinnabar on her forehead. It was obvious that she had dressed up very carefully.
In Jiang Ning's opinion, this woman's appearance was among the top ten of all the women he had ever seen in his life. Even compared with Lin Qingyi, he has 80% of her looks. But even so, Jiang Ning was not tempted at all. Because this girl did not meet his aesthetic standards, because she was a typical Princess Taiping. The kind where you can’t tell the front and back of his chest apart when his face is covered. at the same time. Lin Jiaer also saw Jiang Ning. She couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and said secretly in her heart. "It's pretty good looking!" "Not bad talent!" "It's a pity that you are of such a lowly origin! How can you be worthy of my noble status as the eldest daughter of the Lin family?" After learning about Jiang Ning's life experience and reading the intelligence containing Jiang Ning's information, Lin Jiaer no longer had any thoughts about Jiang Ning. My heart was filled with rejection. In her opinion, she and Jiang Ning were not a good match. He was from the Lin family in Dongling City, and the Lin family was known as the number one family in Dongling City. It can be said to be a truly wealthy family. The blood of the Lin family runs in her body, not the blood of the collateral line. How could someone of this status condescend to marry Jiang Ning, who was born into a common family? Moreover, this person has no official position and is just an ordinary civilian. Lin Jiaer also admitted that Jiang Ning was indeed quite talented. But she also understood that in the current Great Xia court, this martial arts talent alone would not be enough to break through the path to advancement. Whether it is a martial arts sect or an aristocratic family that controls important positions in the court, none of them can change their destiny simply by relying on some martial arts talent. Those sects with hundreds or even thousands of years of history. After such a long time, and with generations of reproduction and development, the sect has long been controlled by a few surnames. Except for people with these surnames, it is basically impossible for other disciples to access the core inheritance. Even if they are more talented. The same is true for important positions in the court. After more than a dozen or even dozens of generations of continuous operation, the aristocratic families everywhere have already controlled the path to upward mobility.
So after Lin Jiaer learned about Jiang Ning's birth background, she no longer had any thoughts in her mind. The person she wanted to marry was simple, someone who could make her look good in front of her sisters. It can make all her sisters look at her with envy and jealousy. Rather than a look of pity. Jiang Ning's birth was too ordinary, even though he had a good talent in martial arts. This is good. In her eyes, it is okay to struggle among the lower class. Once you reach a certain level, it becomes difficult to climb up. This invisible cage is extremely difficult to break. At least you have to have some achievements. but. Lin Jiaer also knew that this matter was arranged by Lin Qingyi. She knew very well that if she wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Qingyi, she must not refuse directly. Otherwise, Lin Qingyi would harbor a grudge against her, and all her previous efforts to please her would be in vain. "Hello, aunt!" Lin Jiaer bowed to Lin Qingyi gracefully, looking like a lady from a noble family. Lin Qingyi nodded: "Jiaer, how is it? Auntie's vision is not wrong!" Lin Jiaer smiled and said, "Aunt is right. Young Master Jiang is very handsome and has extraordinary talent in martial arts. Jiaer has been envious of him for a long time." As she spoke, Lin Jiaer looked at Jiang Ning with a smile in her eyes. "Meet Master Jiang!" Then she introduced herself: "My name is Lin Jiaer, and I am from the Lin family in Dongling City. Mr. Jiang, you can call me Jiaer." Jiang Ning stood up and said, "Miss Jiaer, please sit down first." "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Lin Jiaer bowed again. Lin Qingyi glanced at the two of them, then stood up: "You guys chat, I have something to do." The words fell. Lin Qingyi stood up and left, leaving only Jiang Ning and Lin Jiaer in the entire building. The two were silent for a moment. Lin Jiaer was the first to break the silence. "Mr. Jiang, why don't you go down and have a chat?" "Okay!" Jiang Ning responded.
After a while. The two of them came to the brightly lit street. The two walked side by side, two fists' distance apart. Lin Jiaer turned her head and immediately saw Jiang Ning's bright profile. The lines of his outline looked very beautiful under the light. "What a pity!" Lin Jiaer sighed secretly in her heart. At this moment, Jiang Ning's attention was not on Lin Jiaer beside him, but on Lin Qingyi behind him. "Sure enough, gossiping is a woman's nature." Jiang Ning secretly complained in his heart. His extraordinary five senses allowed him to discover that Lin Qingyi had been following them for a long time, and not too far behind. At this time, Lin Qingyi was only about ten steps away from the two of them. At this distance, if he just turned around, he would normally be able to see Lin Qingyi's figure. Moreover, for an expert like Lin Qingyi, it is very easy to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two. Just now. Lin Jiaer said slowly: "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, you are not the ideal husband in my mind." Then, she saw Jiang Ning looking at her sideways. Then she continued, "The ideal husband in my mind is someone who can provide me with positive value, emotional value, and someone who can make me proud." "You and I are not a good match. I come from a prestigious family in Dongling City, the Lin family! You were born too ordinary, and I don't want to marry you." "I have lived a life of luxury, and I don't want to live an ordinary life of plain food and drink for the rest of my life." "The reason why I agreed to meet you was simply because it was hard to refuse your kindness. I hope you understand this. I also hope that Mr. Jiang can smooth things over with me later and not embarrass my aunt." After hearing this, Jiang Ning spoke. "Miss Jiaer, you are quite honest." Then Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It just so happens that Miss Jia'er is not the right partner for me." Hearing this, Lin Jiaer curled her lips secretly. She knew that this was just Jiang Ning's stubborn excuse. Men are very concerned about their reputation, so Jiang Ning would naturally feel embarrassed when she rejected him in person, so she didn't care about this statement at all. She had met too many men, and after seeing her, all of them tried to please her. It's all because of her looks and beauty. She knew that she had inherited some of her aunt's looks, and in the entire Lin family, her looks and beauty were the most eye-catching among the younger generation.
Not to mention that she dressed up specially today, which added a bit of brilliance to her appearance. How could any normal man look down on her? (End of this chapter)
