The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 298 I Am Deserving of You
Xie Lan was a little surprised. She had previously mistakenly thought that Lord Xiao was a dandy young man from some aristocratic family. Later, she found out that she had misunderstood. He was actually a young and promising Minister of Justice.

But she never thought of finding out about his background.

Since you don't plan to marry him, you shouldn't have too much involvement with him.

Xie Lan shook his head, "Nothing I want to ask."

Xiao Jin pursed his lips tightly, his expression full of loneliness. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Do you also think that I am a bastard of unknown identity and not worthy of marrying you?"

The Second Prince had always regarded Xiao Jin as a thorn in his side, and now that he thought that it was Xiao Jin who had exposed his conspiracy, he couldn't wait to get rid of him.

In order to prevent the Second Prince from having a backup plan to assassinate Xiao Jin, Zhao Chong and several guards were standing outside on guard. They were far away and did not hear what Xiao Jin said.

As the chief guard, Yang Feng naturally had to stand closer. Plus, with his excellent hearing, he could hear Xiao Jin's words clearly.

At this moment, he stared at Xiao Jin with surprise. My lord actually wanted to marry Miss Xie?
Wait...something seems wrong with your expression, sir.

As far as he knew, the master never took his life experience to heart, let alone felt sad. But now he was so abnormal... How did he see it? Did the master want Miss Xie to feel sorry for him?
Yang Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips. No wonder the master didn't care about his clothes on weekdays, but two days ago he asked the embroiderer to make more than a dozen sets of gorgeous clothes according to his size.

Tsk, it seems that the master has a girl he likes and has started to pay attention to "dressing up to please himself".

Yesterday he was still wondering, the Ministry of Justice has been very busy with cases piling up recently, but the adults actually drew jewelry pictures in between investigating cases.

At that time, he secretly speculated that the things drawn by the adults might be related to the investigation.

Now it seems that he guessed wrong. The Lord clearly designed the jewelry for Miss Xie personally to please her.

Xie Lan had never seen Xiao Jin like this before. Normally, he would remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. But the loneliness and sadness at this moment made her feel as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making her feel suffocated and uneasy.

Almost subconsciously, she blurted out: "Of course not! Brother Xiao has outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament. At a young age, he has already taken the position of Minister of Justice. With your talent and virtue, you are worthy of any girl in the world."

As soon as Xie Lan finished speaking, Xiao Jin's originally gloomy eyes suddenly became bright like a star that was lit up, "Do you really think so?"

Xie Lan nodded with a smile, "Since you are in charge of the Ministry of Justice, it is enough to prove that you have extraordinary talent and wisdom. No matter what your background is, this is an irrefutable fact.

You are already very outstanding, there is no need to belittle yourself, you are completely worthy of anyone in this world!"

Xiao Jin's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile slowly emerged, his eyes revealed a bit of cunning and expectation. He leaned forward slightly, his voice low and gentle, as if a feather brushed across people's hearts: "Then, am I worthy of you?"

Xie Lan's eyes widened instantly. She opened her mouth but was speechless for a moment.

How did she answer this?

Since she had no intention of marrying Lord Xiao, she shouldn't have any ambiguous words or actions, so how could she directly admit that she was worthy of him? But if she said she was not worthy of him, she had just praised him sincerely. This inconsistency made people feel that what she said just now was all insincere and against her will!

Xie Lan caught a glimpse of the smile on Xiao Jin's lips, then realized belatedly that he did it on purpose!
Xiao Jin saw her puffy cheeks and knew that she was angry, and his mind raced like lightning. But in the blink of an eye, the smile on his face was instantly tinged with bitterness.

He lowered his head slightly, his voice revealing a bit of loneliness and self-mockery: "You don't have to be embarrassed, and you don't have to answer. It's me who shouldn't have had any delusions. I know in my heart that although everyone is afraid of the power of the Duke of Zhenguo, no one dares to say anything in front of me, but privately, they all laugh at me for being just a bastard of unknown identity.

With my status, which innocent girl would be willing to marry me sincerely? It is only natural that you look down on me. "

Xie Lan frowned slightly, her eyes full of seriousness, "I don't look down on you, and I never thought you were unworthy of me. As for why I don't want to marry you, I've told you before.

My fate is special. I am doomed to be unlucky with my relatives and friends. I am destined not to live past the age of marriage. Even if I am willing to marry you, I will die before we get married. "

Xiao Jin slowly lowered his eyes, but when he looked at Xie Lan again, his eyes seemed to be burning with two clusters of determined fire, "I also said that since you are my chosen wife, I will never let anything happen to you."

Xie Lan smiled lightly, but shook his head helplessly, his hair swaying. "My fate is determined by heaven, and even my master can't do anything about it. We are destined to be apart in this life, but if there is an afterlife, we may be able to continue our relationship."

Xiao Jin looked at her deeply, said nothing, but held her left hand with his right hand.

Xie Lan was stunned and instinctively wanted to break free, but the next moment she found that a warm current quickly flowed from Xiao Jin's hand to her palm.

Realizing that Xiao Jin was passing his spiritual energy to her, Xie Lan frowned, "It's useless, stop. Even if you give me all your spiritual energy, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Xiao Jin did not stop, but used his inner strength to speed up the transmission. "It doesn't matter. This thing is dispensable to me. As long as it can buy you a little more chance of survival, it's worth it."

This spiritual energy is more precious than merit, and Xie Lan does not want to accept such a great favor for nothing. Seeing that she could not break free from Xiao Jin, she was about to call Yang Feng to stop her.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Xiao Jin quickly pressed acupoints on him.

Yang Feng didn't know that Xiao Jin was giving Xie Lan spiritual energy. When he saw him holding Xie Lan's hand tightly, he turned his eyes away. Until he heard a suppressed vomit, he subconsciously turned his head and was surprised to find that Xiao Jin was vomiting blood.

Yang Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly rushed to Xiao Jin, "Sir..."

As soon as Yang Feng opened his mouth, Xiao Jin interrupted him, "I'm fine, leave now."

Yang Feng was so perceptive that he could tell at a glance that Xiao Jin's condition was not optimistic, and his expression was full of hesitation. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of Xie Lan's strange movements, and when he looked closely, he was shocked to find that she had been acupunctured, and he couldn't help but frowning.

Xiao Jin suppressed the sweetness in his throat and raised his hand to touch Xie Lan lightly.

Xie Lan glared at him, grabbed his hand without saying a word, and prepared to transfer the spiritual energy back. But no matter what she did, the spiritual energy could not be transferred back to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin did not resist. With a smile in his eyes, he let her hold his hand and toss it around.

But soon beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xie Lan could tell at a glance that he had transferred most of his spiritual energy to her, and the black energy on his body could no longer be suppressed.

Xiao Jin didn't want to make her feel guilty, so he said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll just go back and take some medicine."

Xie Lan ignored him and was about to use the golden light in his body to help him devour the black air, but he found that the golden light in his body had disappeared.
