Chapter 724: Chapter 309: The Eldest Miss Arrives
Wusheng Hall’s Inner Courtyard houses a small building in one of its corners.
This is where the little princess, Wan Yilan, resides.
Positioned excellently, its interiors are exquisitely arranged, featuring a large window on the second floor.
Opening the window presents a leisurely view of green mountains and flowing waters.
Wan Yilan, with time on her hands, loves to play the zither here or engage in painting.
Whenever she sits here, gazing at the lush mountains, she feels at peace.
Yet today, for some reason, ever since the Resounding Drum sounded, she has felt restless.
She thought of going to the main hall to see what had happened.
But firstly, her mother forbade it.
Although her mother was no longer present, there were a few maids standing guard, never leaving her side.
These maids, though called so, were actually skilled martial artists from her mother’s side.
Attempting to escape their watchful eyes and forcefully make her way out alone was nearly impossible.
She frowned, feeling low-spirited.
“Not even Zhu Xiu…
“Zhu Xiu may be a traitor, belonging to my father,
“But as long as one is cautious, it is much easier to deceive him.”
She sighed softly, her thoughts drifting to the conversation her parents had in the study last night, sadness flickering across her face.
While sighing, suddenly, her heart stirred.
This feeling was very familiar; she instantly looked towards the door, and in a moment, someone gently knocked.
“… Senior brother, come in.”
Wan Yilan looked at the door, somewhat helplessly: “You’ve played this trick so many times now, you can’t hide it from me.”
The door opened, revealing Li Xuechun standing outside.
He casually held a sword, looking rather tired, shaking his head as he entered the room:
“How boring, every single time it’s like this, you’re just being dishonest.”
“What do you mean dishonest? This is my skill. If you can’t match up, who can you blame?”
Wan Yilan couldn’t help but laugh, “If you want to be capable of it, then practice your martial arts diligently.”
“… Is it your place to say that?”
Li Xuechun, speechless, shut the door and sat down opposite Wan Yilan:
“But thinking about it, aren’t you really considering marrying me?
“Look, we grew up together since we were children, childhood sweethearts.
“I dote on you so much, and you take such good care of me.
“Moreover, you even have a kind of telepathy with me.
“Whenever I’m within ten yards of you, you always notice.
“It’s like a divine skill from heaven.
“We really are made for each other.
“Both our parents agree, so why not go for it?
“Why always hang onto Wan Cangxin?”
“… If you keep talking like this, I’m going to tell Lady You.”
Wan Yilan’s eyes sparkled with a readiness to act.
“Wrong, my mistake!”
Li Xuechun quickly surrendered, “I was just saying it casually, you absolutely must not go gossiping to Lady You.”
“That depends if you dare to spout nonsense again.”
Wan Yilan gave him a stern look.
“No more, I’m scared, truly scared.”
Li Xuechun sighed.
He and Wan Yilan grew up together, sharing deep feelings for each other.
However, these feelings were not of romantic love.
Initially, both were unclear about this, thinking they harbored feelings for each other.
But then Li Xuechun met Lady You, and Wan Yilan met Wan Cangxin.
Only then did they realize that their relationship was nothing more than brotherly and sisterly affection.
Now, after the jokes, Li Xuechun glanced at Wan Yilan:
“Aren’t you angry with me anymore?”
“Hmph.”
Wan Yilan’s brows knitted slightly.
Li Xuechun knew about the incident with Wan Cangxin.
But he always knew what kind of temperament his junior sister had.
Apparently frail, yet she harbored strong convictions and was exceedingly stubborn.
If she knew Wan Cangxin was dead, this little princess would likely follow him in death.
This was why he couldn’t bear to tell her.
Moreover, during that time, both Wan Yutang and Lady Wan forbade him from seeing Wan Yilan.
So, he took advantage of the situation and kept it from her.
When the incident became known, and he came to see Wan Yilan again, she no longer wished to speak with him.
To have so much conversation with her today genuinely surprised Li Xuechun.
Wan Yilan, not wanting to dwell on it, changed the subject:
“Why did you come today? The Resounding Drum has sounded, aren’t you curious about the excitement, why run here?”
“You ungrateful thing.”
Li Xuechun glared at her: “Such a big fuss, how could I forget you? I came here of course to take you to see the excitement.”
“!!!!!”
Wan Yilan, realizing this, asked:
“Wait, how did you get in? My mother had her Twelve Golden Rings guarding downstairs.”
“Twelve Golden Rings certainly are formidable, but how can they stop me, Li Xuechun, the dragon in the wind?”
“Enough with the grandiose bluff, now you start giving yourself fancy nicknames… Senior brother, can’t we have some shame?”
Wan Yilan frowned, “Though it’s easy for you to sneak up here alone, if the two of us leave together, they’re mostly likely to notice…”
“So…”
Li Xuechun extended his hand: “Another try?”
“…”
Wan Yilan looked at the hand Li Xuechun extended, hesitant.
Though the two of them had learned many martial arts, Wan Yilan had even learned his moves from Vice Hall Master Xiong Fei of the Tenth Hall.
