283: Chapter 212 Engagent_3 283: Chapter 212 Engagent_3 Thinking of this, Xu Yuan felt the urge to try and save the Emperor using the information in “Cangyuan Chronicles,” but then he suddenly realized it was already too late to save him.
Whether the information in “Cangyuan Chronicles” could be of any use was a matter for later, but as things stood, the Emperor couldn’t possibly reveal the true state of his health to them.
If he did, it would essentially set the Pri Minister’s Mansion a tiline to start the war.
After a long silence, Xu Yuan laughed twice:
“Yes, Father, Changtian understands.”
…
…
…
Mount Tianyuan, the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
The sound of clinking was incessant, and the wind pressure of the Giant Sword’s swing almost toppled the surrounding bamboo.
A brawny old man swung the Giant Sword rapidly, and with a clever flick, an Ink Sword flew high into the air, followed imdiately by a crushing blow.
The girl in black had nowhere to dodge, and blinked in disappointnt.
The Giant Sword ca to a steady halt just an inch from the girl’s cool countenance, the powerful wind pressure blowing her raven black hair into wild disarray.
Sheathing his sword, Ran Jianli let out a hearty laugh and carelessly patted the shoulder of the girl in front of him:
“Hahahaha, Qingmo, you’ve improved a lot.
Even though you haven’t used Origin Qi, you can now last five rounds under your master’s command.
Will you continue, or not?”
“…..”
Ran Qingmo pursed her lips without a word, silently turned around to pick up her Ink Sword, then headed straight for her small bamboo cottage.
“….”
Ran Jianli’s mouth was instantly stiff as he shouldered his Giant Sword; after planting it into the ground, he quickly followed the girl, asking cautiously from the side:
“Qingmo…
your master can’t just let you win during sparring, right?”
“Are you angry, Qingmo?”
“Don’t be angry.
Didn’t the mistress ask for you to co back because she missed you?”
“Say sothing…
When your mistress cos back, she’ll say that your master bullied you again.”
“….”
Ran Qingmo stopped in her tracks, shook her head, and said, “I am not angry with Master.”
With that said, she continued towards her bamboo hut and with a “bang,” closed the wooden door behind her.
“…..” Ran Jianli.
Touching the back of his head, Ran Jianli grinned and inhaled sharply, talking to himself:
“What’s up with this girl…
She never used to get this dispirited after losing a sparring match before.”
“What are you, you old fool, standing outside Qingmo’s door for?”
Suddenly, a beautiful voice ca from the small path in the bamboo forest outside.
Ran Jianli turned around to see a middle-aged woman entering.
Ti had left so traces on her face, but she remained beautiful and gentle.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Ran Jianli walked over to pull out his Giant Sword, asking with hesitation:
“Luo Wei, you’ve co at just the right ti.
Our clever disciple seems to have beco a bit odd after just one trip outside today.”
Luo Wei glanced at Ran Jianli, then looked towards their disciple’s little bamboo cottage:
“What happened?”
Ran Jianli rambled on:
“After Qingmo went out, she just kept practicing with .
After losing a hundred tis or so, she stord off in a huff.”
“….” Luo Wei.
Ran Jianli hurriedly explained to his wife:
“Luo Wei, you know Qingmo’s temperant.
She wouldn’t get angry even after losing for an entire day in the past.”
Luo Wei rolled her eyes and took out a newspaper from the Suru Ring, slapping it onto Ran Jianli’s muscular chest:
“Just read it.”
“…”
Ran Jianli took it with a puzzled look, his previously carefree expression disappearing instantly, a hint of solemnity in his eyes:
“Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhè are still going to make a move, huh….”
While the silent war continued in the frozen Northern Frontier, a piece of news quickly spread throughout Dayan via the imperial newspaper.
Li Qingyan was engaged to Xu Changtian.
