Chapter Fourteen: Love at First Sight

  Ling Yu looked at Jiang Nian's body disappearing into the blackness, feeling a little melancholy, not knowing whether it was because she had become a slave herself or because her own body had been given to someone else. She lowered her eyes and slowly turned around, but unexpectedly saw a black shadow appearing in the void, with a somewhat surprised expression.

  "Look, you're still useless after all. Why did the Lingzhi tree choose your family as its destined one? It's about time for a change." The shadowy figure spoke with a warm smile and a relaxed tone, yet it sent shivers down one's spine. Ling Yu knelt down, his hands clasped together in front of his chest, and said in a sincere voice: "I apologize, Master. I guarantee that the memory fragments of Lord Ferris have been stored deep within her mind, and she will eventually grasp them."

  The shadow's face smiled even more happily, but no smile was transmitted: "What's the use of storing it, if she doesn't want to open it, it's just a pile of scrap metal." His face became even more hidden in the vague shadow, "You can go back, I don't need you anymore." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and threw Ling Yu out of the quiet space.

  That shadowy smile remained warm and unchanged, gazing at the blackness where Jiang Nian had just walked out. With a hint of nostalgia, he smiled: "It's been years since we last met, and you've indeed changed. You used to be so proud, but now you're almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person. Fortunately, I've managed to find you again." As his figure began to slowly dissipate, his voice became disjointed and intermittent, "For the sake of one... person, you were willing to betray the gods... I shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place..."

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Jiang Nian didn't know any of this, she just silently walked out, lifted her head to gaze at the sky in a daze. It wasn't until her neck was sore and couldn't straighten up that she turned her head towards Lan Lun, that unlucky guy.

  Time started flowing again when she came out, but Lan Lun was too seriously injured and never got up. That beautiful face was full of scars, even a tooth was knocked loose, like a defeated fighting cock.

  He lay on the ground, looking at Jiang Nian. At this time, the sun was about to set, and the last rays of sunset were all cast on Jiang Nian's body, casting a beautiful silhouette on the ground. Her expression was calm (actually just dazed), her figure straight (actually just standing for too long with a sore back that couldn't straighten up). Her eyelashes cast an extremely beautiful arc on her face, like a character who had walked out of a painting, with a lovely complexion and a strong spirit.

  It's rare for Lan Leng to encounter such a scene, his life has been filled with hypocrisy and flattery, his mother's vicious teachings, his father's heartlessness, it's hard to see such a quiet and warm scene in this life.

  Years later, Lan Lun still wondered whether it was the person who looked like a painting that he had fallen in love with at that moment, or the scene that looked like a painting.

  However, at that time his body instinctively reacted to his inner feelings. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Nian, with an expression that was rarely soft and sincere. The sunset's light shone into his eyes, revealing a pure amber color, casting a beautiful shadow on his entire face. Then he smiled shyly: "I've fallen in love with you."

  I've seen love at first sight, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as this! Do you want the first sentence to be so explosive? Jiang Nian was speechless and looked up at the sky, feeling that he had become a completely different person. Doesn't this brainless second-generation master know that it's his own doing that made him like this?

  At this time she had no choice but to pretend not to know this silly guy, Lan Jun, do your parents know you're such a slacker?! Hurry up and take this bear kid back home!

  Although Lan Leng's son is not very good, the spirit of never giving up is worth learning. This can be seen from the many years of fighting with Wu Qi and the repeated defeats and battles.

  He struggled to get up, but couldn't move, so he had to seek help from Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian slightly smiled and coldly snorted, turning her head to the side. As she turned her head, she unconsciously raised her chin high, giving off an extremely arrogant and aloof impression. However, Lan Lun only saw her back and thought she was shy, so he himself didn't know why his face suddenly flushed red, lowering his head as if wanting to bury it in the ground like a little kid.

  Under Jiang Nian's no help at all, Lan Lun spent half a time to slowly get up, the first action after getting up was to pounce on Jiang Nian and give her a bear hug.

  However, Jiang Nian easily dodged it. This little weakling also dares to pounce on himself? Not killing him is already being good enough. After finishing speaking, he said to Lan Lun: "Alright, I think you're pretty good, you shouldn't die, you can find your way back yourself, if not then call your guardian knight, I won't bother with you anymore."

  "Wait." Landon's voice was urgent, afraid that Jiang Nian wouldn't hear him. But even if Jiang Nian did hear him, he would just pretend not to and keep walking. So the ignored Landon had no choice but to raise his volume: "I said I love you, did you hear me?" His tone was also like a spoiled child's, with a sense of "if you don't agree, I'll kill you".

  Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, somewhat annoyed. She walked back with a very proud gait, and casually gave Lan Lun a slap on the face, then pushed him to the ground, saying viciously: "We've just met for a few minutes, huh? You dare to talk nonsense like that. Do you know my name? Do you know who I am? Do you know my identity? Without knowing any of these things, you still dare to like me? Did your brain really get pinched by a big iron door when you were a kid?"

  Lan Ran was slapped, and at first he was a bit dazed. It wasn't until Jiang Nian finished speaking that he stuttered out an answer: "H...how did you know? I...I...when I was young...my brain really was pinched by a door." After finishing speaking, his eyes were slightly red, his tone was slightly choked, as if he had suffered some great injustice.

  Jiang Nian thoroughly disarmed and surrendered, but how come this Lan Lun is so different from the one in the book? This is obviously an underage child, how can his brain develop to grow up like this?

  She hit Lan Ran because she was too angry and speechless, they had just met for a short while, and were originally supposed to be rivals, but the first sentence was so blunt, not even letting people have fun? After hitting him, although he felt a bit depressed, he didn't regret it, thinking that this was what he deserved, dealing with such a child should be like this, one hit and he'd behave. Besides, why did he think he could like her? She thought disdainfully, her lips curling up in a mocking arc.

  However, Jiang Nian felt that one person's resistance was meaningless. Lan Lun wasn't someone who would listen to reason anyway; not only did he not listen, but he also had a strong sense of self-importance.

  He then followed Jiang Nian all the way, under the guise that the big road belongs to everyone, but only two people are walking on one path. Then he stuck to Jiang Nian's back like a little tail and couldn't shake him off no matter what.

  Then later on... they went their separate ways.

  Indeed, there are no friends who can't be won over, only faces that can't be thickened. As long as the face is thick enough, the bottom line is low enough, and the integrity is scarce enough, nothing is feared to be done!

  Digression

  Alas, I suddenly find this little Mo Ranlun so cute, what to do?
