Chapter Twenty-Four

  Ever since she heard the words of a self-proclaimed golden boy, Lin Ruo Lan's whole person started to become muddled and confused.

  "Miss... miss... are you okay?"

  Jin Guang didn't understand what he said wrong, and looked at Lin Ruolan with a worried expression as she called out to him several times with a puzzled face.

  Lin Ruo Lan was startled awake by Jin Guang's voice, she lowered her head and saw Jin Guang straining his neck to look at her; thinking back to what he had said not long ago.

  "You just said your name is Jin Guang, right?" Lin Ruolan asked uncertainly.

  "Miss, I am the closed-door disciple of Chi Songzi, the orthodox sect master of Xuan Xin, under the Golden Light."

  Lin Ruo Lan was caught off guard by Jin Guang's sudden loud shout and her heart skipped a beat; she glared at him with a scolding gaze, saying bluntly: "What's the point of shouting so loudly? Don't you know that startling someone can be fatal?"

  The maiden's charming face and that dazzling smile; in an instant, it was imprinted on the bottom of Jin Guang's heart.

  "I...I'm sorry!"

  "Miss, I didn't mean to scare you; I hope you won't mind."

  "Never mind, since you've said you're innocent, don't say anything more; by the way, where is this Xuanxin Zhengzong you mentioned? Can you give a more detailed address?" Lin Ruolan asked with furrowed eyebrows.

  Since she can't change the fact that she's in this world, Lin Ruolan could only try her best to become stronger; that way, she could protect herself and the people and things she wants to protect.

  Xuan Xin Zheng Zong is barely passable, but since this is already a world of fact and not fiction; Lin Ruolan would certainly not think that Xuan Xin Zheng Zong could be as powerful as in the original "The Legend of Qin" novel. However, if there's an opportunity to form a good relationship, Lin Ruolan naturally wouldn't oppose it.

  "By the way, Jin Guang, remember that my name is Lin Ruolan; remember, I'm your lifesaver." Lin Ruolan held the teleportation symbol in her hand and said to Jin Guang without courtesy.

  Since she had decided to help rescue him, Lin Ruolan was not going to let herself go through the trouble for nothing; at least she had to make Jin Guang know who it was that saved him and what her name was.

  "This Jin Guang is also a very sharp-eyed guy, as soon as he heard Lin Ruolan's words, he immediately nodded towards Lin Ruolan: 'So it was Miss Lin, Jin Guang has met Miss Lin; the life-saving grace of Miss Lin, Jin Guang will never forget, and will definitely remember it in his heart.'"

  "You're kind." Lin Ruolan nodded slightly.

  Although nothing was said on the surface, I was extremely unconvinced in my heart; Oh my god! Who cares about remembering it, please say something practical or you'll die!

  A few words of incantation, Lin Ruolan activated the Instant Transfer Symbol. Although her Taoist skills were not particularly refined, she was still a member of a prestigious and orthodox sect, so she naturally had some insight and vision.

  "Instant Transfer Symbol!" Golden Light only had time to exclaim in surprise at the talisman in Lin Ruolan's hand before she took him with her and disappeared.

  A flash of teleportation scroll took away Lin Ruolan and Jin Guang, the entire mountain forest restored its original tranquility; if it weren't for a hint of crimson color still visible on the ground, others would really think that nothing had happened at all.

  Lin Ruhai watched as the sun gradually rose higher and higher, but still didn't see any young girls in their teens appear; she began to feel anxious.

  "Yan Tai, look at the sky, it's already late; why hasn't my sister appeared yet?" Lin Ruhai paced back and forth anxiously, while also pulling on his own servant to ask.

  Uh... here we go again, the inkstone is watching its own young master ask about the girl's whereabouts for the nth time; in his heart, he is also sighing: "Woo... Miss, please appear quickly, okay? If you don't appear soon, our young master will definitely be driven mad."

  "Master, don't be impatient; it's still early, isn't it before the time Old Immortal Qingwei said? Maybe at this moment, the young lady is on her way and will arrive soon." Yan Tai comforted Lin Ruhai with a sentence.

  Lin Ruhai was originally a very transparent person, only because he cared too much about Lin Ruolan; that's why he would be confused for a while and lose his composure. Now that Yan Tai has said so, he thinks he was overthinking things.

  It is often said that being overly concerned can lead to chaos. Lin Ruhai's behavior was also due to being separated from his siblings, Lin Ruolan, for too long; it's only natural to feel this way, and it's hard to avoid such emotions.

  Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement and said: "Yan Tai, you are right. It's me who is too anxious."

  Yan Tai had just opened his mouth to say something when a sudden change occurred; with a 'bang' two young men and women suddenly rushed out of nowhere, coincidentally falling into a heap together with Yan Tai.

  "Ouch! That hurts!" The first thing that reached everyone's ears was a soft, girly cry of pain, accompanied by a hint of disgust: "Jin Guang, you're stepping on my foot."

  "Lin, gū niáng, duì... duì bù qǐ." A slightly embarrassed voice rang out, and the owner of this voice should be the guy called Jīn Guāng in the girl's mouth.

  It goes without saying that the two young men and women are Lin Ruolan and Jin Guang. As for the sudden event just now, it was because Lin Ruolan used the teleportation symbol for the first time; she couldn't control the direction well, so she made such an embarrassing mistake.

  The poor inkstone had been used as a meat cushion, but at this moment, the inkstone didn't remember it at all; instead, it was being pressed to the ground by someone who was using it as a human cushion.

  Yan Tai's mind was filled with the term of endearment that Jin Guang had used to address Lin Ruolan earlier - "Lin Gu Niang". He hadn't misheard; the young master had indeed called the young lady "Lin Gu Niang".

  After Lin Ruolan and Jin Guang struggled to get up, the inkstone couldn't wait to shout: "Young master... young master, come over quickly."

  Lin Ruolan found the inkstone's movements a bit strange, and it was actually lying on the ground shouting loudly; suddenly a bad idea flashed in Lin Ruolan's mind, huh... this guy in front of her shouldn't be planning to swindle her, right?

  Lin Ruolan suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have been knocked down by herself and Jin Guang; thinking of this, Lin Ruolan felt more and more that the other party might really be planning to extort her, otherwise why wouldn't he get up from the ground himself?

  Lin Ruolan thought the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was exactly what the other party wanted - to use being knocked down by her as an excuse; saying something like they were injured and couldn't move, or at the very least, claiming that their waist or leg had been hurt in the collision; using this opportunity to extort money from her.

  In just a few short minutes, Lin Ruolan's mind had already turned over hundreds and thousands of thoughts; the last thought in her mind was unexpectedly, damn it! The wisdom of these ancient people is really not to be underestimated, which is why there's such a thing as "bumping into porcelain".

  Lin Ruhai had been worried about Lin Ruolan all along and hadn't noticed what had just happened; it wasn't until the inkstone suddenly shouted out to him that Lin Ruhai snapped out of his daze.

  "Yan Tai, what's wrong with you? Why are you lying on the ground?" Lin Ruhai walked over in confusion, greatly perplexed by his own servant's behavior.

  "Gongzi...... she......" Yan Tai was too excited, pointing at Lin Ruolan, and for a moment, he couldn't say anything.

  Little did he know that his actions had fallen into Lin Ruolan's eyes; just in time to confirm her suspicions, hum... did emotions really want to deceive themselves?
