A Good Romance

When they returned to Hu Yang Academy, Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong parted ways. He had just returned to his own courtyard when he was nagged by Liu Ru Er.

"You're such a failure as a landlord, you didn't even prepare food for us!" she said angrily.

Ling Han's expression involuntarily became strange, and he asked, "Don't tell me you guys don't know how to cook?"

Liu Ru Er's almond-shaped eyes instantly widened, and she blurted out, "How did you know?"

"I can tell just by looking at your incompetent appearance." Ling Han sighed. This pair of assassin sisters was really too much of a failure. They were not good at killing people, and did not even know how to cook. They were really too incompetent.

"Heng, who are you calling incompetent?" Liu Ru Er's expression was instantly filled with indignation, "When my cultivation has recovered, I will definitely beat you up!"

Ling Han could not help but laugh in spite of himself, and said, "Then why would I still keep you two enemies? Ai, I've been short on money recently, so I'll just report the information about these two criminals. I should be able to get quite a bit of reward money from them."

Liu Ru Er's beautiful face instantly paled, and she exclaimed in shock, "You're trying to scare me!"

"Is that so?" Ling Han crossed one leg over the other, putting on an expression of profound mystery.

Liu Ru Er could not decide what to do. She had always lived under the protection of her elder sister, so there was absolutely no need for her to worry about the wickedness of others. Now that she had to face Ling Han, who had lived two lives on his own, she was naturally being played around by him.

"Come, sing a little song for me. If you sing well, I'll let you go," Ling Han said with a smile.

Only now did Liu Ru Er realize that Ling Han was purposely trying to scare her. She could not help but pat her perky breasts, and said, "You really are a bad person …" But she immediately raised her head, and said, "All right, I'll sing a song. However, it's not that I'm afraid of you, but rather that I haven't sung for a long time, and my throat is itchy …"

She began to sing softly, and the sound of the song was mellow, moving one's heart.

Ling Han nodded internally. This girl was a bit muddle-headed, but she was actually quite good at singing. She had really chosen the wrong profession.

"So noisy!" Hu Niu was startled awake by the song, and glared at Liu Ru Er with a displeased gaze, her ferocity completely exposed.

Liu Ru Er was very displeased, and said, "Such a beautiful song, and you actually say it's noisy? You really don't have the slightest bit of elegance in you!"

"Heng!" Hu Niu glared at her, unconvinced.

The two girls glared at each other, looking as if they were going to stare at each other until the end of time.

Ling Han yawned, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom to sleep.

"Xiu," Hu Niu immediately leaped up and hung onto Ling Han's body. Then, she turned around and made a face at Liu Ru Er.

What a failure, she actually couldn't even handle a little child.

Liu Ru Er grabbed at her hair in distress. A great assassin actually couldn't even win in a battle of gazes with a little girl … was she really suitable to be an assassin?

When he woke up, the eastern sky had just begun to brighten. Ling Han sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

He had deliberately woken up earlier now, so that he wouldn't have to run all over the place to cultivate with Hu Niu.

"Not bad, there are still three more days before I can break through to the eighth layer of Element Gathering Tier." Ling Han revealed a smile. What he desired the most now was to break through to Gushing Spring Tier and explore the secrets of the Black Tower.

At this time, the sun had already risen. Ling Han woke Hu Niu up, and though the little girl was very unwilling, she still began to cultivate at Ling Han's request. Hu Niu's potential was extremely terrifying, and her future achievements might not be inferior to his.

Ling Han prepared breakfast, and this made him very depressed. In the past, he only had one little girl, so be it, but now that he had two big girls, he still had to cook. There was really no justice in this world.

At this moment, there was a knock on the main door.

Who was it this time?

Ling Han walked over and opened the door. It was actually Jin Wuji.

'Yi, why has this guy come here?'

"Brother Jin, why have you come so early?" Ling Han said with a smile.

Jin Wuji smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Ling, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of favor?" Ling Han asked. He did not take on everything himself.

Jin Wuji hesitated for a moment, then said, "I wonder if Brother Ling is able to reserve a seat in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion?"

'Yi?'

Ling Han could not help but cast a strange look at Jin Wuji. Could it be that this guy had an agreement with Lady Yan? He had just received the Cherishing Flower Token yesterday, and today, someone had already asked him to help reserve a seat in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion.

"Brother Ling, I have no other choice. You know a lot of people, and I am really at my wit's end. That's why I am shamelessly asking for your help," Jin Wuji said with a sigh.

Ling Han smiled, and said, "What exactly is going on? Why do you need a seat in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion?"

"If I tell you, don't laugh at me!" Jin Wuji actually blushed.

Ling Han said seriously, "I definitely won't laugh at you."

Jin Wuji organized his thoughts, and began to tell his story. As it turned out, a year ago, he had met the daughter of a small clan in the Imperial City. Her name was Jiang Fei Yan. The two of them were in love with each other, and had already reached the stage where they were discussing marriage.

However, the Jin Clan was a Great Clan in Da Yuan City, but in the Imperial City, it was only equivalent to the level of a small clan. Moreover, this was the territory of the Emperor, so the people here naturally felt that they were superior to others. The Jiang Clan was not satisfied with Jin Wuji, their future son-in-law, and had always wanted to separate this young couple.

Thus, Jin Wuji had been racking his brains, trying to change the way the Jiang Clan treated him.

Treating everyone in the Jiang Clan to a meal at the Cherishing Flower Pavilion was undoubtedly an extremely good idea, because the threshold to enter the Cherishing Flower Pavilion was too high. If one wanted to reserve a table, they would at least need to be from a mid-tier clan.

But the problem was, he was currently only in Element Gathering Tier. Even if he had broken through to Gushing Spring Tier, how could the Cherishing Flower Pavilion pay him any heed?

In the recent few days, the Jiang Clan had the intention of marrying Jiang Fei Yan off to the Seventh Young Master of a mid-tier Great Clan. Thus, Jin Wuji really had no other choice, so he came to try his luck at Ling Han's place.

After all, Ling Han had just arrived in the Imperial City, and he had already become acquainted with Wu Song Lin's disciple, so it was even more likely that he would be a guest of Grandmaster Wu. Thus, even if Ling Han could not reserve a table at the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, he could still use Wu Song Lin's connections.

When he heard this, Ling Han could not help but laugh loudly, and said, "I had never thought that Brother Jin would be such a sentimental person."

"Brother Ling, I said I wouldn't laugh," Jin Wuji sighed endlessly, his face filled with distress.

Ling Han still laughed, and patted Jin Wuji's shoulder, saying, "Brother Jin, I am indeed unable to reserve a table at the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, but …"

When Jin Wuji heard the first part of Ling Han's words, he had already looked disappointed, but there was another twist at the end, causing his heart to involuntarily beat faster, "Brother Ling, do you have any ideas?"

"I can't reserve a normal table, but what about a side courtyard?" Ling Han said with a smile.

Pu!

Jin Wuji instantly spluttered.

If one wanted to reserve a table at the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, one had to have the ability or background of Spiritual Ocean Tier. For example, a direct descendant of a middle-class clan would be able to head to the Cherishing Flower Pavilion to reserve a table. However, one had to make a reservation in advance, because the business of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion was really too good. If one did not make a reservation in advance, it would be impossible to get a table.

And if it was a side courtyard, then one had to have the ability and background of Spiritual Pedestal Tier to be qualified to reserve a table there.

"Brother Ling, you're not joking, are you?" The surprise was too great, and Jin Wuji's voice was trembling.

Reading on one's phone was more refreshing!
