"Oh, so it's Miss Ruyue." Lin Long nodded. Soon after, he changed the topic. "However, isn't this the first time we've met?"
He was naturally referring to the matter with the little servant girl.
"Young master Lin is overthinking things. I met young master outside the Skywind Pavilion earlier and we hit it off. I originally wanted to personally invite young master to have a chat, but something suddenly cropped up and young master coincidentally left. That's why I could only ask this little girl to invite you. Seeing young master's appearance, this little girl's actions earlier were probably inappropriate. If she offended you in any way, I, Ruyue, will apologize to you here."
After speaking, she turned to the little servant girl behind her and said, "Girl, why aren't you apologizing to young master Lin?"
The little servant girl looked at Lin Long with a wronged expression and said, "Young master Lin, I was wrong. I hope you don't take it to heart."
"Mm, it doesn't matter." Lin Long replied indifferently. He naturally would not argue with this little girl over such a small matter.
Of course, if the other party had any other thoughts, he could not be blamed for being impolite.
"Thank you young master Lin." Li Ruyue immediately said happily.
After hearing their conversation, Zhao Han also understood what they were talking about.
At that moment, he felt even more enmity towards Linlong. He did have feelings for Li Ruyue, but after knowing her for so long, Li Ruyue had never taken the initiative to invite Linlong. On the other hand, Li Ruyue had only just met Linlong for the first time, and Li Ruyue had already expressed her goodwill to him.
After a brief pause, Li Ruyue asked, "May I know where young master Lin is from?"
"The Lin clan of Yangchuan City in the Southern Region." Lin Long casually made up a story.
"Oh." Li Ruyue nodded in a half-understanding manner before asking, "How long will young master Lin be staying in Tianyuan City?"
Lin Long replied, "I don't know about that."
Soon after, Li Ruyue blinked her large eyes, a look of longing on her face as she said, "Young master Lin must be very interested in the scenery of our Tianyuan City. How about I bring you around Tianyuan City?"
It can't be! Hearing Li Ruyue's words, the jealousy in Zhao Han's heart intensified. After all, Li Ruyue was practically throwing herself at him!
At this moment, he couldn't care so much anymore and directly said, "Ruyue, this isn't right. You're a lady, how can you bring Young Master Lin around? You should leave this kind of thing to me. After all, Mister Wu and I are good friends."
Who would have thought that the moment he finished speaking, Li Ruyue would directly glare at him and say, "Zhao Han, this is a matter between me and Young Master Lin, don't blindly interfere!"
This Miss Li family is too proactive. Looking at this scene, Wu Ming's face couldn't help but twitch.
"Miss Ruyue, let's talk about it later. Right now, I have something to discuss with Young Master Zhao." Linlong immediately said.
Upon hearing Linlong's words, Li Ruyue said helplessly, "Alright then, I'll leave first."
Before he left, he glared at Zhao Han, causing Zhao Han's heart to twitch.
After Li Ruyue left, Zhao Han's face sank, and he said to Linlong, "Young Master Lin, may I know what you want?"
Previously, he still had a good impression of Linlong, but because of Li Ruyue's matter, that trace of good impression had completely vanished.
"It's like this. I heard from a friend that Young Master Zhao obtained a secret manual a few years ago. I would like to borrow it to take a look." Linlong went straight to the point.
"Secret manual?" At the mention of secret manuals, Young Master Zhao immediately became vigilant, but he was even more puzzled.
Because in his impression, he didn't remember obtaining any secret manuals. Of course, he had also obtained some books, but those books were extremely ordinary and couldn't be considered a secret manual at all.
"It's a secret manual with such words." As he spoke, Linlong used his hand to write a few strange words on the table. It was the words of the Yao Tribe from thousands of years ago.
When she saw Linlong's words, an astonished expression immediately flashed on Zhao Han's face.
When he saw Zhao Han's expression, Linlong knew that Zhao Han was definitely the person who obtained the secret manual.
"Young Master Lin, how do you know this kind of words?" Zhao Han looked at Linlong in surprise.
It was no wonder that he was surprised. Ever since he obtained that book, he had found many ancient scholars to study it, but no one knew what kind of words it was.
In desperation, he could only ask his father for help, but his father didn't know either. After that, his father found even more powerful ancient scholars, but none of them were able to find anything.
Not wanting such a book to fall into his hands just like that, his father gave the book to the other two families in the Nanling Mountains to study.
The ancient scholars that the three families found finally made some progress. However, it was only a little progress. Whether they could completely decipher the book was still a question mark.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhao Han not be surprised to see someone write such words so casually?
"I studied under a master previously and came into contact with this kind of words. That's why I understand it." Linlong smiled.
"Where is the master from?" Zhao Han couldn't help but ask.
"The master's previous life was in the Northern Region, but he likes to wander the world. He's most likely not there now. Moreover, the master doesn't care about fame and fortune. He's not famous in the Mutian Continent. If I hadn't coincidentally helped him a little, I wouldn't have known that he was so good at ancient literature." Linlong casually made up a story.
"Is that so?" Zhao Han couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Then, he hurriedly asked, "Then, Young Master Lin, can you master this kind of words?"
"Most of them. If Young Master Zhao gave me that secret manual, I can at least decipher more than eighty percent of it," Linlong answered.
Of course, he was only lying to Zhao Han. With his ability, he had already completely mastered this kind of words.
"That's great." Zhao Han instantly became excited.
If Linlong could decipher that kind of words, it would be a great help to the Zhao Family. It would also increase his importance in his father's heart. How could he not be excited?
"However, Young Master Lin, you have to wait. I have to report this to my father first, but he's coincidentally not at home," Zhao Han said again.
Then, he also told Linlong that he had already shared the secret manual with the other two families.
Hearing Zhao Han's words, Linlong couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, after thinking about it, Linlong felt relieved. After all, it was better to gather the wisdom of the masses than to let the book rot in his hands. Moreover, even if the book was deciphered, it might not necessarily be something good.
If he was a member of the Zhao Family, he would most likely choose the same method under such circumstances.
