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 put it in his room solemnly. The skin refining has not yet been completed, and the membrane has not yet reached the level of being as tough as copper, so it is not suitable to refine this Dragon Tiger Strength Pill. The medicinal power of this pill is too strong. After being tempered by the dragon and tiger strength. It will make his muscles undergo a huge transformation in a short period of time. This sudden and violent transformation, the membrane and skin are not tough enough, will cause some irreparable damage. The body may crack as a result. This kind of thing has happened before. So there is a step of refining the skin first, and then refining the strength.
These are the experiences summarized step by step by the predecessors. So Jiang Ning continued to temper the membrane, and practice boxing to increase the experience of Qi and blood and Five Animals Boxing. During the interval, he looked through books to increase the skill of reading and spelling. Originally, Jiang Ning thought that he could practice martial arts with peace of mind for a few days until the establishment of the Inspection Office. That night. "Little Green Lady." Jiang Ning looked surprised when he saw Little Green Lady in a green dress appearing in front of him. "Mr. Jiang!" Little Green bowed gracefully, and then said: "My building owner 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 that Little Green mentioned was naturally the deputy building owner Lin Qingyi. In Luoshui County, Wanhua Building used to have three building owners, one main and two deputy. But the main building owner has not appeared for many years, and is probably not in Wanhua Building now. Before, Shen Congyun and Lin Qingyi were in charge. Later, because Shen Congyun was transferred, the entire Wanhua Building in Luoshui County is now managed by Lin Qingyi alone. So there is no doubt that the building owner that Little Green Lady mentioned must be Lin Qingyi. Afterwards Jiang Ning said, "Miss Xiaolu, please wait outside the courtyard for a while. I'll take a shower first and then go with Miss Xiaolu." "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll wait for you outside the courtyard." Xiaolu said. Wanhua Building.
When Jiang Ning arrived with Xiaolu, it was already 4:40 in the evening. Night had already fallen. But the street where Wanhua Building was located was still brightly lit and bustling. "Mr. Jiang, please follow me upstairs." Xiaolu raised her hand and gestured. A moment later. Jiang Ning came to the attic on the top of the building. The attic was silent at this time, and Lin Qingyi didn't seem to be there. Seeing Jiang Ning's inquiring eyes, Xiaolu said, "Mr. Jiang, please wait here for a while and look at the night below. I'll go and invite the owner of the building." "Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded and agreed to Xiaolu's arrangement. Then he sat by the open-air balcony. After Xiaolu prepared a pot of cold tea and some fruits for him, she took her leave. Jiang Ning was sitting on an open-air terrace at this time. He could see the night view of the bustling street below. Even though it was 12:40 now, it was still very lively below, with many men and women coming and going. The roads were also hung with colorful lanterns, which was very beautiful. Looking up, he could see the bright moonlight. He drank herbal tea and ate fruits while quietly waiting for Lin Qingyi to show up. Lin Qingyi came to see him so late, and it seemed that she had something important to do with him. After a cup of tea. Tap, tap, tap-- A clear sound of footsteps came from the stairs. "Here I come!" Hearing this clear sound of footsteps, Jiang Ning knew that it should be Lin Qingyi who came. A moment later. Lin Qingyi's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. At this time, Lin Qingyi was still wearing a green floor-length skirt, and a layer of gauze was wrapped around the outside of the skirt. Because the weather was very hot now, Lin Qingyi's clothes were not thick, or very thin. The soft fabric clings to her skin, highlighting her magnificent and graceful figure. Behind Lin Qingyi, Xiaolu is 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 gestured to Lin Qingyi with a cup of tea, and a smile appeared on his face at the same time. Seeing this, Lin Qingyi also responded with a smile. "Why do I feel that your temperament has changed recently?" Lin Qingyi came to Jiang Ning and said curiously. Jiang Ning smiled: "What changes can I have? On the contrary, Sister Lin is getting more and more beautiful!" Lin Qingyi smiled slightly when she heard this. Then she adjusted her long skirt and sat down opposite Jiang Ning: "I feel that you are more confident than before." Hearing Lin Qingyi's words, Jiang Ning was also slightly surprised. Surprised that Lin Qingyi's observation was meticulous. Last night, he easily killed Qiu Shilong, the head of the forging shop, and today Gong Mingyuan came to show his goodwill, which really increased his confidence. Whether it was Qiu Shilong or Gong Mingyuan. They were all big figures that he could never reach before. And today, a big figure like Gong Mingyuan wanted to show his goodwill to him, personally came to give gifts, and revealed what happened last night. How could his mentality not change? Jiang Ning then smiled: "Sister Lin is really observant, my strength has improved slightly recently." Hearing this, Lin Qingyi also looked surprised. "It has only been a few days, and I can hear from you that there has been a slight improvement. It seems that the progress of skin refining is very good!" Jiang Ning smiled noncommittally. 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. "On the top of the willow branches in the moonlight, people meet after dusk." "What's the point of saying it so late?" As she spoke, Lin Qingyi left her seat. He put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly to look at Jiang Ning. There seems to be a look of autumn in his eyes. "Uh" Jiang Ning was stunned when he heard this. Because when Lin Qingyi leaned forward with his hands on the table, he saw a touch of white and majestic mountains accidentally exposed under Lin Qingyi's leaning. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then leaned back slightly.
"Sister Lin, stop making fun of me!" Jiang Ning said. At this moment, Lin Qingyi seemed to notice something. The blush on her face flashed across her face, and she quickly sat back on 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 said: "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 when he heard this. Seeing this, Lin Qingyi smiled and said: "I said before that I would find a girl for you. Now that I have found a girl, she is waiting down below. Do you want to meet her?" "You are quite old at your age, and it's time to get married." Hearing these words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Is the fear of blind date still unavoidable in another world? "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!" Lin Qingyi said firmly before Jiang Ning could speak. next moment. She waved to Xiao Lu who was at the door of the balcony: "Xiao Lu, come here!" Xiao Lu, wearing a green dress, ran over quickly in small steps. "Master!" She saluted. Lin Qingyi said: "Go down and call Jia'er up." "Yes, the host!" Xiao Lu saluted again, then hurriedly retreated. Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning's mouth that he just opened closed again. never mind! He shook his head secretly. It’s better to meet first. If you meet the right person, getting married and having children is not out of the question. After a while. Xiaolu appeared in front of the two of them again.
Behind her, followed a girl with an exquisite face. This girl's eyebrows are extremely delicate, her red lips are as red as blood, and she has a dab of cinnabar on her forehead. She is obviously dressed up with special care. In Jiang Ning's opinion, this woman's appearance ranks among the top ten of all the women he has seen in his life. Even compared to Lin Qingyi, she still has 80% of her appearance. But even so, Jiang Ning didn't have any temptation in his heart. Because this girl does not meet his aesthetic taste, because she is a complete princess of peace. The kind where you can't tell the difference between your front and back when your face is covered. at the same time. Lin Jiaer also saw Jiang Ning. She couldn't help but glance at her mouth slightly and thought to herself. "She looks pretty good!" "The talent is pretty good!" "It's a pity that my background is too low! How can I be worthy of my honorable status as the direct daughter of the Lin family?" After learning about Jiang Ning's life experience and reading the information recording Jiang Ning's information, Lin Jia'er no longer had any thoughts about Jiang Ning. My heart is filled with rejection. In her opinion, it was wrong for her to be in a different family with Jiang Ning. He is from the Lin family in Dongling City, and the Lin family is known as the largest family in Dongling City. It can be said to be a truly wealthy family. She has the direct lineage of the Lin family flowing in her body, not a collateral lineage. With such a status, how could he condescend to marry Jiang Ning, who was born as a commoner? And this person still has no official position, just the most ordinary civilian. Lin Jiaer also admitted that Jiang Ning does have some talent. But she also understood that in today's Daxia court, this martial arts talent alone could not break the path to advancement. Whether it is a martial arts sect or a family that holds important positions in the imperial court, it is not just a few martial arts talents that can change one's destiny. Those sects with hundreds or even thousands of years of history. After such a long period of time and generations of generations, the sect has long been controlled by a few surnames. Except for people with these surnames, it is basically impossible for other disciples to come into contact with the core inheritance. Even if they are more talented.
The same is true for all important positions in the imperial court. After more than ten or even dozens of generations of continuous management, aristocratic families everywhere have already controlled their path to advancement. So after Lin Jiaer learned about Jiang Ning's birth history, she had no more thoughts in her mind. The person she wanted to marry was very simple, someone who could make her look good in front of her sisters. She 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 his martial arts talent was good. This was not bad. In her eyes, it was okay to struggle among the lower class. Once you reach a certain level, it is difficult to climb up. This invisible cage is extremely difficult to break. At least you have to have a reputation. but. Lin Jiaer also knew that this matter was Lin Qingyi's matchmaking. 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 have a grudge against her, and all the previous deliberate flattery would be in vain. "Hello, aunt!" Lin Jiaer bowed to Lin Qingyi, looking like a lady from a noble family. Lin Qingyi nodded: "Jiaer, how is it? Aunt's vision is not wrong!" Lin Jiaer smiled: "Aunt is right, Mr. Jiang is handsome, and his martial arts talent is quite extraordinary. Jiaer has been envious of him for a long time." As she spoke, Lin Jiaer looked at Jiang Ning with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Jiang!" Then she introduced herself: "My name is Lin Jiaer, and I am from the Lin family in Dongling City. Mr. Jiang 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." As soon as the voice 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 take a walk and chat casually?" "Okay!" Jiang Ning replied. A moment later. The two came to the brightly lit street. The two walked side by side, two fists apart. Lin Jiaer looked sideways and immediately saw Jiang Ning's bright profile. The outline of the lines looked 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, gossip is a woman's nature." Jiang Ning secretly complained in his heart. His extraordinary five senses had 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 them. At this distance, he could normally see Lin Qingyi's figure if he turned back. And for a master like Lin Qingyi, it was very easy to eavesdrop on their conversation. At this moment. Lin Jiaer slowly said, "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, you are not the ideal husband in my mind." Then, she saw Jiang Ning's sidelong glance. Then she continued, "The ideal husband in my mind is someone who can provide me with positive value, emotional value, and make me proud." "You and I are not a good match. I come from the famous family of 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 tea and plain food for the rest of my life." "The reason why I agreed to meet you with my aunt is simply because your kindness is hard to refuse. I hope you can understand this, and I also hope that Mr. Jiang can make peace with me later and don't make my aunt feel embarrassed." Hearing this, Jiang Ning spoke. "Miss Jiaer, you are honest." Then Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It just so happens that Miss Jiaer is not a suitable partner in my mind." Hearing this, Lin Jiaer curled her lips secretly. She knew that this was just Jiang Ning's stubborn rhetoric. Men are very proud, so being rejected by her face at this time, Jiang Ning would naturally feel embarrassed, so she didn't care about this statement at all. She had seen too many men, and after seeing her, those men all showed their courtesy to her.
This was all because of her appearance and beauty. She knew that she inherited some of her aunt's looks, and in the entire Lin family, her appearance 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. As long as he was a normal man, how could he not like her?
