At this time, the entire Tianshui Countess Residence was dead silent.
Suo Ningbing already knew the king's new edict, and her heart was filled with despair.
The foundation of the Suo family was about to be destroyed in her hands. Although Lan Ling was smart, he had less than five months of learning and practicing martial arts. It was impossible for him to pass the graduation exam, let alone be in the top ten and get the noble warrior medal.
Why? Why?
Tianshui City was fought by the ancestors of the Suo family, not by the royal family. Why could the royal family take it away?
The Suo Family had ruled Tianshui City for even longer than the Kingdom of Fury Waves. If the ancestors of the Suo family didn't choose to surrender to the Suo family, how could the royal family pacify the entire southeast?
The king held the patriarch of the Suo family and said, "You are my benefactor, your family will share the world with my kingdom, and your family's glory, splendor, and wealth will live as long as the kingdom."
These words were still in his ears. Now, for Zhi Li's strategy, the royal family directly showed their fangs and wanted to put their benefactor to death.
Such a powerful royal family actually bullied two widowed sisters and a weak brother. Why?
As soon as Lan Ling got home, his sister Suo Ningbing threw herself into his arms.
"Little brother, I really regret agreeing to Jing Yu's request. I really shouldn't have involved you. You are so outstanding, but now you are going to be buried with the Suo family."
At this time, Ye Jingyu's eyes were also full of regret. If he had known this would be the result, he wouldn't have let Lan Ling pretend to be Søren.
Lan Ling was too outstanding. Whether it was martial arts talent, wisdom, or artistic attainments, he was one in a million. He should have had an excellent future, but now he was involved in the battle between the Suo family and the royal family, and became a victim.
Lan Ling gently hugged his sister, patted her back, and said softly, "Sister, we may not lose Tianshui City."
Suo Ningbing said, "You don't have to comfort me."
Lan Ling said, "As long as I enter the top ten in the graduation exam and obtain the noble warrior medal, the royal family will let me inherit the title of Lord of Sky Water City no matter what."
Suo Ningbing was stunned. She didn't expect Lan Ling to have such thoughts.
If he wanted to be in the top ten of the graduation exam, he would need to be at least a Level Two Samurai Archer in martial arts.
No matter how talented the people in the world were, they would still need five to six years. As for Lan Ling, he hadn't even completed his enlightenment, and he only had four months. This was completely a fool's dream.
Suo Ningbing suspected that Lan Ling was so angry that he lost his mind. However, she couldn't even bear to say negative words, let alone sarcastic words.
In less than a month, she had completely regarded Lan Ling as a family member, and had completely replaced the position of her brother, Søren.
But Ye Jingyu on the side spoke without scruples, and said straightforwardly, "Søren, this is completely impossible. Even Jiang Shang, the strongest in the world, can't complete this step in three years."
Lan Ling said, "I want to try. Even if I die, I will do my best, so that there will be no regrets."
Ye Jingyu didn't speak, but Suo Ningbing said, "Well, sister supports you. I'll still say the same thing. If worse comes to worst, we'll just die together. "
Lan Ling said, "In about ten days, I will go to the border of the kingdom to practice."
Suo Ningbing's beautiful eyes trembled. It was too dangerous there, and she was very reluctant to leave, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, sister supports you."
Ye Jingyu said, "No, you haven't completed the third step of initiation, so you can't enter the actual combat training."
Lan Ling said, "I've completed it, but I was afraid that you would think I'm too monstrous, so I pretended not to have completed it."
After saying that, Lan Ling used his consciousness to command Eros to release a force, and then used his consciousness to control this force, circulating it throughout his body, and shooting it directly from his finger.
Although this force was very weak, it was like a gust of wind blowing on Ye Jingyu's face.
However, this also proved that Lan Ling had completed the third step of initiation, Dragon Power control.
She was really shocked. Others needed a few months to complete Dragon Power control, but Lan Ling still only needed half a day. He really was a monster.
Perhaps, after three months of actual combat training, Lan Ling would really be surprised during the graduation exam.
If that was the case, he would really shock everyone's eyeballs.
…
For the next ten days, Lan Ling did not go home. He ate and lived in Ascension Pavilion.
In many people's eyes, he had completely given up and was sleeping in a land of gentleness. But in fact, Lan Ling did not sleep or rest to pay off his debts. Pay off what debts?
He drew posters for the remaining 18 hairpins, styling them according to each person's characteristics, and then clearly explaining the promotion methods.
Since he had earned this money, he had to be responsible and complete the work.
Although the situation was very urgent and he needed as much time as possible to practice actual combat, this was not a reason to shirk.
Therefore, he only rested for two or three hours every day, and then did not sleep at all. He spent all his time painting and writing the plan.
Many girls were extremely distressed and said that they would not paint anymore.
However, this was completely related to the interests of these girls and the brothel behind them. How could he go back on his word?
After nine days of painting and writing the promotion plan, he finally completed the styling, promotion, and posters of the remaining 19 hairpins of Royal City.
Then, he threw himself onto Yi Man Man's bed and fell into a deep sleep without waking up.
After sleeping for a full 12 hours, Lan Ling was woken up and told that Duke Feng Ting wanted to see him.
…
"My brother has severely reprimanded me and grounded me for three months. I am not allowed to step out of the Duke's Mansion," Duke Feng Ting said when he saw Lan Ling.
Lan Ling bowed and said, "I am sorry, Your Excellency. Because of me, you have been implicated."
Seeing that Søren was still respectful, even though he did not complete the task and made the situation worse, Søren did not have the slightest resentment, which greatly moved Feng Ting.
"I never return bribes that I have received," Duke Feng Ting said, "but this time, I will make an exception and return these three properties to you. Moreover, after you lose your title and Tianshui City, you can join my sect. This way, you can keep your life, and probably no one will bully you. "
After saying this, Duke Feng Ting took out the three property deeds and was about to return them to Lan Ling.
Suddenly, Lan Ling took three steps back and said, "The Suo Family never takes back what we give. Besides, Your Excellency has done your best for my matter and was reprimanded by His Majesty the King. This has made Søren feel inexplicably grateful and extremely guilty. "
Duke Feng Ting was stunned and then struggled to walk in front of Lan Ling. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You, are really good. Unfortunately, Zhi Li will not let you live. I will do my best to protect your life, but whether or not it can be saved is up to fate. Zhi Li is really amazing, the future King. "
Lan Ling did not speak, but bowed deeply again.
…
After returning to the Count's Mansion, Lan Ling and his sister had their last dinner.
Tomorrow, he would go to the border between the Raging Wave Kingdom and the Barbarians to practice actual combat there.
That was the most dangerous place. There were countless Barbarian warriors and countless wild beasts, but it was also the best training environment.
Suo Ningbing was really reluctant to leave. This was her family, her lifeblood. For her, Suo Ningbing, he had to go to such a dangerous place.
But when they were eating, Suo Ningbing kept smiling and holding back her tears. Lan Ling's heart almost broke when she saw this.
After dinner, Suo Ningbing did not sleep for the whole night. She tidied up Lan Ling's luggage again and again, and then sat on the edge of Lan Ling's bed, watching him for the whole night.
Lan Ling did not sleep either, but he was afraid that his sister would worry, so he pretended to be asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Lan Ling got up and formally said goodbye to his sister.
He and Ye Jingyu, in disguise, secretly left from the back door of the Count's Mansion.
Suo Ningbing could not bear it anymore. She hugged Lan Ling tightly, suppressed her tears and said, "You must come back safely. If anything happens to you, I don't want to live anymore. We don't want Tianshui City, we don't want the hundreds of years of foundation. Sister only wants you to be safe. Now, you are sister's lifeblood, do you know that? "
Lan Ling suddenly hugged Suo Ningbing, greedily sniffed her scent, and said gently and domineeringly, "Sister, when I am strong enough, I want to marry you. I want you to be my wife."
Then, he held Suo Ningbing's beautiful face and kissed her lips hard and gently.
It was incomparably soft, incomparably sweet, but because of her sister's tears, it was a little salty and bitter.
Hearing this domineering confession, Suo Ningbing's heart suddenly trembled, and her mind suddenly went blank.
Ye Jingyu on the side was also shocked. She did not expect Lan Ling to be so bold.
After the kiss, Lan Ling jumped directly on the horse and galloped away.
Ye Jingyu was stunned, and then said to Suo Ningbing, "Miss, take care."
Then, she also squeezed the horse's abdomen and caught up with Lan Ling.
The two people and two horses secretly left the Royal City and galloped toward the southern border.
And Suo Ningbing stood in the same place, with her hands clasped together, and prayed very sincerely to the sky, "Supreme Dragon, please protect my brother's safe return. I don't want anything, I just want him to be safe. "
