"Bet, must bet!"
He was not fighting for the bread, but for his dignity. How could Xu Lan swallow this humiliation when she was looked down upon by Lin Jiangnian?
He immediately wanted to force Lin Jiangnian to gamble and refused to give in.
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and glanced at her: "So, what are you betting on?"
"Big bet!"
"How old?"
“Very big!!”
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Xu Lan, who was pondering the bet. He seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "How about, if I win, you will be my maid for a month?"
Hearing this, Xu Lan suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "What did you say?!"
"You want me to be your maid?!"
"No?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her with a playful look: "Shouldn't it be an honor for you to be this prince's maid?"
Xu Lan: “…”
She is so angry!
Do you want her to be a maid and order her around?
Don’t even think about it!
Just as he was about to refuse, he seemed to think of something, his eyes turned slightly and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "What if I win?"
"You want to be my servant?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "I'll be your servant, do you dare to use me?"
"Why not?!"
Xu Lan immediately raised his head and said with a hint of pride.
Not to mention that the guy in front of him is not the Prince of Lin. Even if he is the real Prince of Lin, what's wrong with using him as a servant?
"Okay, then it's a deal?"
Seeing her reaction, Lin Jiangnian immediately made the decision: "If I surpass you within three months, you will serve as my servant for a month. You will be at my beck and call, working hard without complaint, and you are not allowed to resist... Do you understand?"
"Hmph, if you don't surpass me, then you'll have to be my servant..."
"It's a deal!"
"Whoever regrets is a dog?"
"Stop talking nonsense and sign a document!"
“…”
A moment later, the document was ready and both of them signed it. Xu Lan carefully put away her copy and glanced at Lin Jiangnian with a smug look.
"You're doomed!"
If Lin Jiangnian wants to surpass her in martial arts, he must at least reach the eighth level of strength.
She didn't believe that Lin Jiangnian could reach the eighth rank in just three months... Besides, she was only one step away from the eighth rank. When she returned, she would work hard secretly and strive to become an eighth rank master.
By then, even if Lin Jiangnian reaches the eighth rank, he will only be at the same level as her... and he will still lose!
Thinking of this, Xu Lan felt very proud and felt that his own little trick was clever.
"Just wait and see."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Xu Lan, who looked a little smug, and slowly stood up.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Seeing Lin Jiangnian was about to leave, Xu Lan spoke subconsciously.
"Of course, I'll practice hard!"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Why, are you trying to deliberately drag me along because you're afraid I'll catch up with you?"
Xu Lan snorted coldly when she heard that and said angrily, "I don't have that!"
How could she possibly do such a thing?!
"That's good. I'm going to practice hard now."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and turned to leave.
Xu Lan was left standing there. She had originally wanted to stay with Lin Jiangnian for a while, but after hearing what Lin Jiangnian said, she decided not to chase him.
Standing there, I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it?
After a while, she glanced at the direction where Lin Jiangnian left, bit her lower lip lightly, and the girl's thoughts emerged.
I made up my mind immediately!
She also has to go back and practice hard, striving to become an eighth-rank master as soon as possible... Humph, let's see what he does then!
Thinking of Lin Jiangnian's shocked and unwilling eyes, Xu Lan felt secretly happy. He immediately clenched his fists and went home with high morale and cheerful steps.
…
After dealing with the annoying Xu Lan, Lin Jiangnian returned to his room alone.
He hadn't lied to Xu Lan, and he had indeed returned to his room with the intention of practicing martial arts. As for the bet between him and Xu Lan, Lin Jiangnian didn't take it too seriously.
The reason for making a bet with her was, firstly, to get her out of the way and stop her from hanging around in front of him. Secondly, it was to find a reasonable excuse to practice martial arts in seclusion.
As for the third one... it was to stabilize Xu Lan!
As for whether he can surpass her in three months?
Lin Jiangnian was not too worried about this. According to what Zhiyuan said today, although his martial arts talent might not be as good as that of the eldest princess in the capital, it was at least not bad.
It can't be that he is not even as good as Xu Lan, right?
Even if he failed to surpass Xu Lan in three months, Lin Jiangnian would not be too worried... As a man, what's the harm in regretting it?
At worst, I can just pretend to be dead.
As for being her servant?
dream!
…
Go back to the room and close the door.
Lin Jiangnian sat cross-legged on the ground, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, recalling the formula of Xuanyang Heart Method, and continued to operate and control the "qi" in his body in the same way as last night.
As Lin Jiangnian's Qi sank into his Dantian, this time, he quickly captured the "Qi" in his body.
After you develop the Qi on your first try and gain control over it, it becomes much easier to repeat it.
All things are difficult at the beginning!
This was also why the kite was so astonishing that Lin Jiangnian was able to master it so skillfully on the first night. After taking the first step, everything that followed was like a natural progression...
Lin Jiangnian slowly controlled the "qi" in his body and circulated it slowly according to the steps of the mental method.
As the "qi" slowly flowed through his body, Lin Jiangnian's body gradually became hot, especially in his lower abdomen, where a hot breath seemed to be brewing.
His body temperature is gradually rising!
The originally fair skin all over the body gradually turned red as the temperature rose.
The "energy" in Lin Jiangnian's body also seemed to gradually grow stronger.
…
Night gradually falls.
Lin Jiangnian stayed in the room the entire afternoon.
Retreat and practice!
It was not until dark that he slowly finished his practice.
At this time, Lin Jiangnian was surprised to find that the "qi" in his body had become much stronger.
In fact, you can already clearly feel its presence!
If you experience it carefully, you will feel the extra air in your body, and there will be an indescribable sense of comfort in your heart.
"call……"
Lin Jiangnian took a breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The burning sensation in the body slowly faded away, but then, it seemed as if some strong emotional impulse was brewing.
This Xuan Yang Heart Method is indeed extremely masculine. As Lin Jiangnian continues to practice it, it seems as if the blood in his body is surging, and his whole body is in a state of congestion.
It seems that even my ears and eyes are clearer.
When Lin Jiangnian came to his senses, he realized that his whole body was sticky and he felt very uncomfortable.
Previously, when I was practicing internal energy, my body temperature rose and I sweated all over. After the wetness dried, it stuck to my body and was extremely uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian got up from the ground, covered himself with clothes, walked slowly to the door and opened it.
"Your Highness!"
Two maids had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Prepare hot water, this prince needs to take a bath and change clothes!"
Lin Jiangnian ordered to speak.
"yes."
The maid nodded, turned around and hurried to give orders.
“…”
