Chapter Twenty-Five

  Lin Ruhai looked up, puzzled, and followed the direction of Yan Tai's pointing hand: "Yan Tai, what do you want to say?" Before he could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped; Lin Ruhai was stunned.

  The girl in front of her, although a bit disheveled, still didn't detract from her elegant and refined demeanor; her snow-white face, bright and shining like the stars; her black eyebrows curved like willow leaves, her lips as tender and pink as flower petals. Clearly just a young girl of ten or so years old, yet it was already possible to see what kind of stunning beauty she would become when she grew up.

  Cough... none of these are the point, the point is... this beautiful face in front of me actually completely matches a tender little face that has been deeply etched in Lin Ruhai's memory.

  Could it be her? Lin Ruhai was taken aback at first, then became wildly delighted.

  Lin Ruo Lan's face was filled with indignation as she lifted her head, just about to transform into the River East Lion Roar when she suddenly froze. Appearing in front of her was a handsome man who seemed to have walked out of an ink wash painting; and no matter how she looked at him, he seemed vaguely familiar.

  "Lan'er, is it really you?"

  Just as Lin Ruolan was still wondering why the other person looked familiar, the handsome man who had walked out of the ink landscape painting surprisingly strode towards her with big steps.

  Orchid?

  Lin Ruo Lan blinked her eyes, uh... did the other person recognize her? Was it an acquaintance?

  For some reason, looking at the handsome man in front of her, Lin Ruolan's heart suddenly felt a sour and aching feeling that was hard to bear; she was very sure that this absolutely wasn't her own feelings, it should...it should be the consciousness left behind by the original owner in this body.

  "What the...! This guy shouldn't be Lin Ruhai, my former brother-in-law, right?" Suddenly, Lin Ruolan had a bit of an epiphany and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

  "Brother...... are you my brother?" Lin Ruolan asked cautiously.

  Lin Ruhai gazed steadily at the beautiful girl in front of him, who had already begun to take on a youthful and lovely appearance. His eyes were filled with warmth and affection; his love for Lin Ruolan had not diminished despite their years apart.

  On the contrary, Lin Ruhai felt even more guilty and affectionate towards Lin Ruolan because of her young age leaving her parents behind.

  "Silly girl, don't you even recognize your own brother?" Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Ruolan into his arms, a gentle smile on his handsome face; at the same time, he couldn't help but reach out and affectionately rub Lin Ruolan's head.

  Lin Ruo Lan's body may only be ten years old, but the soul inside is a mature one; now being treated like a child by Lin Ru Hai, Lin Ruo Lan still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

  Yan Tai quickly scrambled up from the ground and bowed to Lin Ruolan, saying: "Yan Tai greets Miss."

  "Get up!" Lin Ruolan nodded towards the inkstone: "You weren't hurt just now, were you?"

  "In response to the young lady's words, a rough and thick-skinned person like me wouldn't be affected by such a collision at all." Yan Tai saw Lin Ruolan's gentle and soft-spoken expression and felt embarrassed, his face turning red.

  Lin Ruhai was actually quite interested in Jin Guang, who stood beside him watching his siblings talk. After all, apart from being a bit disheveled, Jin Guang was still an elegant and refined young man with a sunny disposition.

  Lin Ruhai was already a very outstanding person, even if Lin Ruhai's eyes were picky; however, when he saw Jin Guang, his face couldn't help but flash with a hint of surprise.

  "Lan'er, who is this young master?" Lin Ruhai's eyes were filled with inquiry as he sized up Jin Guang, hoping that his sister, who had just returned after much difficulty, wouldn't be bothered by someone.

  Lin Ruo Lan only then discovered that Jin Guang had not left, Lin Ruo Lan slightly furrowed her brow and said to Jin Guang in an impolite tone: "Hey, why haven't you left yet? Didn't you say that the Xuan Xin Sect is nearby? Hurry up and leave!"

  Lin Ruo Lan waved her hand as if shooing away flies: "You'd better have your master take a look at the injuries on you, lest they leave behind future troubles."

  Xuan Xin Zheng Zong represents what Lin Ruolan is clearer than anyone else, Xuan Xin Zheng Zong represents trouble; if possible, Lin Ruolan would not want to have more contact with the other party, and now Lin Ruolan began to hurry to drive people away.

  Jin Guang wasn't a fool, and he could naturally see that Lin Ruolan didn't think much of him. Although Jin Guang didn't know why Lin Ruolan looked down on him, he was originally a proud person himself. Since others had already said things to this extent, Jin Guang couldn't bear to stay any longer with his thick skin.

  "Lin's daughter, I'll never forget the kindness you showed me in saving my life. From now on, if you ever need anything, just send someone to tell Xuan Xin Zheng Zong and I'll be there without hesitation, even if it means going through boiling water or walking into fire! Farewell!" Jin Guang bowed with his fist and turned to leave with big strides, facing Lin Ruo Lan and Lin Ru Hai.

  "Lan'er, who is this Golden Light?" Lin Ruhai had also heard Golden Light's earlier claim of being a member of the Xuanxin Sect, but he still wanted to confirm it again: "And... what was that about owing him a life-saving favor?"

  "Brother, you're really nagging!"

  It's probably that the original body still retains a brotherly and sisterly affection for Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruolan, who is seeing Lin Ruhai for the first time, doesn't feel awkward at all, instead she pouts her mouth and acts coquettishly towards Lin Ruhai.

  "Everyone is exhausted, why don't we get on the horse carriage and talk while walking?" Lin Ruo Lan pulled at Lin Ru Hai's sleeve with a thick face, acting cute and playful.

  Lin Ruhai indeed saw the fatigue in Lin Ruolan's eyes, for this little sister who had been placed on his heart since childhood; Lin Ruhai said he wasn't worried or anxious, that was absolutely a lie!

  Especially when his own little sister acts cute and playful, Lin Ruhai immediately surrendered without dignity: "Okay, let's get on the horse carriage first, then you can tell your brother about it in detail later."

  "Hmm... thank you, brother. I knew you'd care about me the most." Seeing Lin Ruhai nodding in agreement, Lin Ruolan couldn't help but let out a cheer; flattery that doesn't cost money kept pouring out like popping beans.

  "Come on!" Lin Ruhai shook his head with a pampered expression: "Hurry up and get on the horse carriage."

  All the way, Lin Ruolan didn't hide anything from Lin Ruhai, except for the fact that she wasn't the original Lin Ruolan, but a transmigrator; apart from this, basically all the things that had happened in the past few years were told to Lin Ruhai.

  The world of Hong Lou is what kind of a place Lin Ruo Lan even if didn't really get along, but can still imagine with her toes.

  The original novel had Lin Daiyu's family background as noble, but because she no longer had the protection of her relatives; in the end, she ended up with a miserable outcome.

  So as early as the time in Yunju Mountain, Lin Ruo Lan had already made up her mind; this thigh she must hold onto herself, Lin Ru Hai absolutely cannot die young; not just Lin Ru Hai but also the original master's parents cannot die young either, for the sake of her own future happiness; this Lin family absolutely cannot decline.

  A great man cannot be without power for a single day; a young woman cannot be without money for a single day!

  In this evil feudal society, family and parents are a woman's best protection.

  Moreover, Lin Ruo Lan had learned from the original owner's memories that her brother Lin Ru Hai not only had an extremely good relationship with the original owner but also doted on her more than her parents did. This was definitely a big leg to cling to; currying favor with him was a must!

  Hehe……even if there is magic, what's the use? In the secular world, magic often doesn't work as well as power and money. Moreover, being a daughter herself, Lin Ruhai had many things she couldn't control, so Lin Ruolan became her best choice.
