Chapter 176
The two of them were very close, but the two of them were very close.
Faced with Lin Jinyan's sharp words, Jiang Xiulian did not dare to refute, but just bit her lip and lowered her head silently.
"Go in and clean up the house first. I have something important to discuss with Lord Lin."
Lu Ren took the initiative to help her out.
After Jiang Xiulian responded a little awkwardly, she quickly crossed the yard and returned to the bedroom.
After she left, Lu Ren tiptoed and jumped onto the eaves, facing Lin Jinyan.
"Let's talk business first."
Lin Jinyan glanced at him and said with a bad face: "Master Wu wants to see you."
"Master Wu? The demon-suppressing envoy Wu Gang?"
"Besides him, who else in the entire branch can invite you, Master Lu?" Lin Jinyan said with sarcasm.
Lu Ren smiled awkwardly: "If it is Master Lin who invites me, I will go no matter when and where."
"I can't afford it." Lin Jinyan turned around and said: "I have delivered the message, I am leaving."
"That..." Lu Ren wanted to say something.
However, Lin Jinyan didn't give him this opportunity at all. Her figure flashed and disappeared at the end of the long street.
Looking at the direction she left, Lu Ren felt a sense of loss.
"Forget it, she should be angry now, so I'd better talk to her later."
Lu Ren collected his messy thoughts, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
"By the way, what did Wu Gang want me to do?"
He had actually wanted to meet this demon-suppressing lord whom he had never met before.
When he returned to the room, Jiang Xiulian had already cleaned up the bedroom and was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
In fact, Lu Ren's current body made almost no difference whether he ate or not.
But when he thought that it was Jiang Xiulian who made it, he decided to give it a try.
No matter how bad her cooking skills were, she couldn't be worse than Lin Jinyan, right?
After standing at the door and watching for a while, Lu Ren's heart was finally relieved.
Jiang Xiulian looked quite skilled in cleaning the ingredients, heating the pan, and other actions. It was obvious that she had done it often.
Recalling that Jiang Xiulian told Lin Jinyan that she was her maid, Lu Ren thought this suggestion was quite good.
With Jiang Xiulian around, he naturally didn't need to recruit maids separately.
After all, the two of them know each other well, and they can keep each other warm when it's late at night, which is killing two birds with one stone.
As for Lin Jinyan...
Lu Ren doesn't want to think about things too far ahead at the moment, so he'll take it one step at a time.
Perhaps one day in the future, he can convince Lin Jinyan to accept the situation of three people traveling together through his own efforts.
"It's time to eat." Jiang Xiulian's gentle voice brought Lu Ren back to reality.
Looking at the steaming meat porridge on the table, as well as a few simple but delicious side dishes, Lu Ren couldn't help but show an admiring expression.
At the dinner table, Jiang Xiulian kept picking up dishes for him, behaving like a caring maid.
Lu Ren said to her, "You eat too."
"I'm not hungry." Jiang Xiulian shook her head.
"Are you really not hungry?"
Jiang Xiulian blushed and said, "My stomach is still bloated. You fed me so much last night. Have you forgotten?"
Lu Ren: "........"
He was speechless for a moment and had to bury his head in eating.
Jiang Xiulian watched him silently from the side: "How does it taste?"
"It's good, much better than Lin Jinyan."
Hearing this name, Jiang Xiulian looked a little gloomy: "What's going on between you and Lord Lin?"
"It has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it."
Jiang Xiulian worriedly said, "But I saw that she seemed very angry just now. Otherwise, I'd better move out. If my existence destroys your relationship, then I..."
"I said it has nothing to do with you. I will take care of her affairs. You can live here peacefully." Lu Ren said in a somewhat tough tone.
"Oh~" Jiang Xiulian nodded obediently, the haze on her face was swept away, her bright eyes looked straight at Lu Ren, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
After dinner, Lu Ren changed his clothes, took his sword, and went out.
Before leaving, he threw a second-level martial arts to Jiang Xiulian: "If you are bored at home, you can open it and take a look. It should be inspiring to you."
Jiang Xiulian was still wondering why Lu Ren would secretly teach her the martial arts of the Demon Suppression Division.
But when she picked up the booklet and saw
After reading the big words on the cover, her face flushed.
"Yin Yang Chang Chun Gong?" Jiang Xiulian looked at Lu Ren shyly and said, "Isn't this a serious martial arts?"
"What's wrong with it?" Lu Ren said seriously, "This is the unique martial arts of the Joy Sect. Although you are in the initial stage of feeling and cannot directly practice the second-level martial arts, I will guide you slowly."
"Ah?" Jiang Xiulian was very surprised and opened her mouth wide.
She pointed at herself and said, "Do you want me to practice with you?"
"What else?" Lu Ren asked back, "Your realm is too low now. With your own talent, I don't know when you can practice to the Kaimai realm."
"Do you think I'm too weak and will hold you back?"
"If saying this can make you more motivated, there's no problem." Lu Ren said frankly, "I'm destined to go far and stand tall. If you don't want to be left behind, you must keep up with my pace. Do you understand?"
Jiang Xiulian was silent for a moment, then nodded very seriously, "I know."
She never imagined that she could become Lu Ren's official woman.
After all, a child of destiny with a halo like him is destined to be shoulder to shoulder with a wonderful woman like Lin Jinyan.
And she only needs to stand behind Lu Ren and cheer for him silently.
If one day his figure gradually fades away, then she will take the initiative to choose to leave and become a passer-by in Lu Ren's life from then on.
But now, Lu Ren actually took the initiative to ask her to keep up with him.
This shows that she should still have a certain weight in his heart, right?
Although it may not be even one-tenth of Lord Lin, for Jiang Xiulian, who lost her father at a young age and whose mother rarely accompanies her and lacks family love, she is already very satisfied.
Looking at Lu Ren's back as he left, Jiang Xiulian cherished the "Yin Yang Changchun Gong" in her arms, with tears of joy in her eyes.
She murmured in a low voice: "I will try my best to catch up with you."
