I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 122 Hong Fu's Night Escape
"Sometimes I envy you."

Jiang Lianxing held Ning Jianshuang's hand: "You can be free, but I can't."

"I'm not feeling so comfortable either." Ning Jianshuang revealed a worried expression: "I still have a lot of things to do, and I have to look after thousands of families. If it weren't for him accompanying me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make it."

Jiang Lianxing listened to her best friend begging for sympathy and felt that something was not right with these words... Why did it sound like she was showing off?
I must have misunderstood.

They are siblings, Jianshuang won’t eat grass in his own backyard, right?

"With you accompanying him on this trip, I can rest assured." Jiang Lianxing leaned closer and said, "You must be careful. Don't let those seductresses outside seduce him away."

"Don't worry." Ning Jianshuang responded with an affirmative look.

This girl doesn't even plan to give my Erlang to you. There's no need for me to tell you about those vixen outside. If they dare to come, I will skin them alive and rip them apart.

What level of vixen do you have to dare to fight with me? Don’t you know the family motto of my Ningguo Mansion?

"You must keep an eye on it." Jiang Lianxing emphasized again and again.

"I know." Ning Jianshuang smiled confidently. Otherwise, why would she have to follow? It was because her Erlang was too outstanding.

"Come to think of it, we're going to the Baimei Sect this time, and we'll pass through Langya on the way." Jiang Lianxing whispered, "Is that Lin family incident true?"

Ning Jianshuang's confident smile froze slightly. "That time... it was my mistake. I didn't expect that little girl to be so easy to fool. Instead, she climbed up the ladder and tricked him into taking the marriage certificate away without knowing it. Although Erlang still doesn't know about this."

"You are confused!"

"I know I'm confused, so there's no need to emphasize it." Ning Jianshuang pondered, "The Lin family must have seen Erlang's limitless potential and have already decided to finalize this engagement. This time, I intend to test the Lin family's attitude."

"Isn't the Lin family's attitude obvious?" Jiang Lianxing sighed. "You don't know how high-profile Minister of Works Lin Aiyu has been in the court recently. He's completely on fire, with his mouth almost stretched to his ears."

Ning Jianshuang said: "He did it on purpose."

"I know he did it on purpose. Everyone in the court knows he did it on purpose, but even if they knew he did it on purpose, there's nothing they can do about it." Jiang Lianxing was in a bad mood. "The Lin family is one of the most prominent families in the area. They have great appeal and influence in the local area. Even the court's policies require their cooperation."

"Having him go to Langya as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to carry out this mission is, in a sense, also a way to contact the Lin family... His status makes him the most suitable person to handle this matter. With the Lin family's approval, investigating and working in Langya will be much more convenient."

"This is due to political considerations, but do you really think so?" Ning Jianshuang didn't quite believe it. Jiang Lianxing was not so generous.

"You saw through me." Jiang Lianxing smiled faintly. "Although I don't know Lin Jiaolu, she is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family. This matter won't be that simple... Besides, Langya has been unstable recently."

"Unsettled?"

"Well, it is said to be related to Fu Guangzong."

"Is it the Six Paths and Seven Sects again?"

……

Bai Xuan returned to his room, which had been tidied and cleaned spotlessly.

He didn't have much to pack, just some clothes. In fact, as long as he had a sword, he could go anywhere in the world.

However, the curtains on the bed had been drawn.

It was already late at night and he was about to undress and rest.

Until I caught a glimpse of the bed curtain swaying slightly, and there seemed to be a figure behind it.

Bai Xuan waved his hand, and Jiang Chengzi drew his sword. The hilt of the sword knocked open the thin gauze curtain, revealing a figure sitting on the bed.

What catches the eye is red.

A red shawl, red clothes, red hair accessories, a slightly petite figure, and a slender waist, sitting on the bed is a young girl of about 28 years old.

There was no light, but with Bai Xuan's eyesight, he could see the man's face clearly through the dim moonlight.

The clear appearance and the fact that he could not sense the other person's existence through his mental power allowed him to recognize who the other person was.

The sense of vigilance was also withdrawn.

"How did you come?"

A hand stretched out from the bed, grasped the suspended Jiang Chengzi sword, and with a light push of the fingers, sent it back into the scabbard.

"Did you get scared by coming here uninvited?" Qin Xiaochan snorted softly, "Still as timid as ever."

"I would call it vigilance." Bai Xuan was a little helpless in front of Qin Xiaochan. This girl knew his secret. Bai Xuan in the real world was law-abiding. Therefore, in her opinion, Bai Xuan was not the chivalrous and elegant knight in the eyes of others, but a go-with-the-flow person with a petty-bourgeois mentality.

"You're staying in a man's dormitory late at night." Bai Xuan crossed his arms: "Are you here to kill me, or to sleep with me?"

Qin Xiaochan pulled at her red shawl: "Do I have to choose between the two?"

"So what do you want to choose?"

"I can sleep first and kill later."

"You are already a qualified female gangster, so you should start your career sooner." Bai Xuan also knew that she was playing a joke from a certain movie that they watched together.

Qin Xiaochan smiled softly and patted her hands: "Come and sit down, I have something to tell you."

Bai Xuan didn't come closer.

Qin Xiaochan frowned: "Why are you still keeping a distance now? It's not like we haven't slept together before."

"It's you who always likes to rub against people like a kangaroo. I'm sitting on the left side of the sofa, but you insist on squeezing in." Bai Xuan corrected.

Qin Xiaochan lay down on the bed, looking lazy: "It's all the same, I don't mind, what do you mind?"

Bai Xuan said: "You are my sister over there, but what is your relationship with me here?"

Qin Xiaochan was stunned. She had never thought about this problem.

Because she didn't feel there was any difference, whether it was this side or that side, there was no need to make such a clear distinction. She thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think our relationship should be?"

Bai Xuan shook his head: "You be your maid, and I will be my ranger. It's best if we don't have any relationship, so as to avoid confusion."

This sentence made Qin Xiaochan very angry.

"You've been hugging me, and now you're not going to admit it, are you?"

"Just kidding...it's you who's hugging and embracing, not me, okay?" Bai Xuan emphasized, "When have I ever taken advantage of you?"

This is the truth. Bai Xuan really did not touch her. On the contrary, Qin Xiaochan would always come up to her unconsciously, like a cat addicted to humans.

"I do not care!"

She uttered the three-word mantra and put her hands on her hips.

Bai Xuan said helplessly: "What on earth are you doing here?"

"I..." Qin Xiaochan came back to her senses: "I heard that you are leaving the capital."

"Yes." Bai Xuan said, "I can't stay here forever. As a man of the world, I must travel around the world, see more, spar with masters, and see the customs and habits of different places."

"Wow, that's not something you would say." Qin Xiaochan said disdainfully, "You're staying home to watch a movie but you're not willing to take me to the amusement park."

"Just tell me whether the movie is good or not." Bai Xuan retorted.

Qin Xiaochan pouted: "You should learn to be gentler to girls."

"I can't be gentle." Bai Xuan spread his hands: "If I'm gentle to you, you'll only get more demanding."

"That's true, this is my advantage." Qin Xiaochan likes to pursue the opponent relentlessly and not give him a chance to breathe.

"So, you just came to say goodbye?" Bai Xuan asked.

"Come here." The little girl waved and patted her side: "Sit down and I'll tell you."

"..." Bai Xuan took a step back cautiously.

"Are you serious about taking a half step back?" Qin Xiaochan was furious: "I'm not going to sleep with you!"

"When you say that, I don't quite believe it." Bai Xuan expressed his doubt with empty eyes... After all, in modern society, this little girl is obviously an ancient person, but she is not reserved at all and does not know how to keep a distance.

"You're not coming over, are you?" Qin Xiaochan gritted her teeth, jumped up suddenly, and pounced on the young man with a nimble body like a cheetah jumping out of the jungle.

She was very fast, and Bai Xuan's reaction was also extremely fast.

But two red and white shadows flashed in the air.

In the blink of an eye, two or three sharp sounds burst out in the air.

Afterwards, Bai Xuan was pressed onto the bed...

"How did you do it?" Bai Xuan didn't draw his sword, but it couldn't be said that he didn't really fight. He had tried his best to dodge without drawing his sword.

"Do you want to learn the royal family's secret body movements?" Qin Xiaochan sat on him and bit her lower lip lightly: "I'll teach you."

"Stop messing around and come down."

"You're deliberately trying to piss me off! Time and time again!" Qin Xiaochan complained. "You're so polite and nice to everyone else, but why are you so awful to me? You're leaving without even saying hello. I came all the way to see you, and you still have this expression of keeping me at a distance."

She felt aggrieved.

Bai Xuan slowly shook his head: "It's different here."

"I don't understand." Qin Xiaochan said, "You are you, and I am me."

Bai Xuan closed his eyes, unable to explain.

If he doesn't treat everything that happens here as a game, how can he fight against the historical changes that are like the tide and the passing of time?

Qin Xiaochan also realized that Bai Xuan was deliberately separating the two different identities.

Fifteen-year-old Jiang Wanyue could not yet understand the weight behind his silence.

She finally gave in.

For some reason, whenever she faced him, whether he suddenly fell silent or looked unhappy, she always felt uneasy, as if she had made a mistake in front of an elder.

"I brought you a gift."

"I wanted to give it to you, that's all."

As she spoke, she reached out and slipped a sparkling ring from her hair.

Bai Xuan stared at him: "Sumeru Ring?"

It should be from the same era as the Sumeru Ring in Prince Yun's hand...both are commemorative models for the founding of the Qin Dynasty.

"Why do you have the Sumeru Ring?"

"Of course it was given to me by His Majesty."

"Given to you?"

Bai Xuan was a little skeptical at first, but soon became relieved.

I always feel that that spendthrift woman is capable of doing it.

Qin Xiaochan took the ring and asked, "Can I put it on for you?"
