Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Young Master Blushes Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Young Master Blushes Zhan Beicang sighed and said, “Ah, it’s all father’s fault, if I had let you practice martial arts to strengthen your body when you were young, you wouldn’t have suffered such a severe injury. Look at Zhan Lan, that girl’s body is strong, Zhan Hui said she can even get out of bed now!”
Zhan Beicang, skilled in leading troops in battle, had little understanding of a daughter’s feelings.
What seed to him a casual remark, Zhan Xuerou heard and again felt resentnt bubbling up.
First, Zhan Hui had actually gone to see Zhan Lan, and it was their father’s doing!
Second, their father said her recovery was slow, her body weak, while Zhan Lan’s was quick and strong. Implying she was inferior to Zhan Lan, unworthy of being a daughter of the Zhan Family!
Qin Shuang glared at Zhan Beicang, reprimanding him, “You, don’t compare Lan’er and Rou’er all the ti. Rou’er has been frail since childhood; saying such things, don’t they upset our daughter?”
Zhan Beicang clapped his forehead, “Ah, look, father misspoke. You rest more, I’ll go see your grandparents!”
He sat up from the bed, his expression turning stern.
Stepping out of the room, he spoke to his subordinate behind him, “Are all mbers of the Black Shark Gang eradicated?”
“Just found that there are a few remnants left. Normally they rob and abuse won and children, but didn’t participate in the assassination that day, and were eventually released by the authorities.”
A murderous intent filled Zhan Beicang’s eyes, “Dig out the graves of Liu Chi, Chunhua, and her cousin, and kill every single mber of the Black Shark Gang, not sparing a single one!”
“Yes, General!”
Zhan Beicang walked with heavy steps toward the Old General’s residence.
The n of our Zhan Family kill enemies on the battlefield, yet our daughters are bullied to this extent!
How could he tolerate this!
…
Inside the room, Zhan Lan was reading when suddenly the window was prodded open.
“Zhan Lan, co out!”
Zhan Lan looked up, seeing Zhan Peng with a gloomy face.
She calmly closed her book and stepped out of the room.
“Peng, you’re back!” Zhan Lan greeted, polite yet distant.
Zhan Peng sneered, “Zhan Lan, thanks to you, I am now motherless!”
Zhan Lan looked innocent as she faced Zhan Peng, “What do you an? I only happened upon your maternal uncle that day, and when asked, I responded. I know nothing of what Aunt Ji Yue did.”
“You!”
Zhan Peng suddenly grabbed Zhan Lan’s left arm, causing her to frown from pain, and she quickly placed her right hand on Zhan Peng’s arm.
The two wrestled montarily, before Zhan Peng abruptly let go of her arm.
“Didn’t expect you to be this strong!” Zhan Peng’s eyes narrowed.
Zhan Lan smiled, “Can’t help it, I wasn’t pampered from a young age!”
Zhan Peng scoffed, “Well done, Lan.”
After leaving a aningful look, he walked away from the back yard.
Zhan Lan covered her arm; the recently healed wound had started bleeding again from Zhan Peng’s grasp.
Zhan Peng was a treacherous and cunning man, hard to deal with.
Her eyes darkened, instructing Xiao Tao to rewrap her wound. She then changed into n’s clothing, put on a veil, and left.
…
Qilin Underground Palace.
Zhan Lan entered the underground palace, where Young Master Xiao Luobai was playing cuju. Seeing Zhan Lan, he kicked the ball to her.
Zhan Lan kicked the ball into the basket in one go, and the Young Master clapped in admiration.
“Lan, do you have more news to sell us today?”
Looking down at the Young Master, who was a head shorter with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, looking like a banished immortal even at such a young age, will surely be impressive when grown up.
Zhan Lan bent over with a smile and said, “Young Master, I have a favor to ask of you today!”
Granny Qi and Alchemist Qi ca out of the secret door together. After so recuperation, Alchemist Qi’s complexion looked much better.
“Young lady, you are this old man’s lifesaver. Just speak whatever it is you need!” Alchemist Qi said warmly with a smile.
Granny Qi looked at Zhan Lan seriously, “What’s up? Little girl, running short on silver again? You, being a woman, should hurry up and find a family to marry into instead of always thinking about fighting and killing. Be careful or you might not be able to marry off!”
Zhan Lan pouted; Granny Qi was the most poisonous with her words.
But she wasn’t a bad person.
“I don’t plan to marry. Esteed seniors, I would like to ask for your help in forming a Death Guard.”
Granny Qi looked at Zhan Lan with a sidelong glance, “Little girl, you’ve offended quite a few people, huh? Are you in danger now?”
Zhan Lan shrugged, “Yes, always being targeted by thieves!”
Alchemist Qi glared coldly at Granny Qi, “Hey, you old woman, the girl wants a Death Guard, just give her so!”
Granny Qi glared back at Alchemist Qi, “Hey hey, our Death Guards are for protecting the Young Master, we never said anything about protecting anyone else!”
The two were about to start a big argunt.
The Young Master, holding a ball, ran past and gave Zhan Lan a glance, his cheeks turning red, “I-I-I, I’m already eleven years old, I’m a man now, I don’t need Death Guards to protect !”
Granny Qi: “…”
Alchemist Qi: “…”
See, does that make sense?
The Young Master solemnly said, “Just give so Death Guards to protect sister Lan’er, Lan’er can still earn silver for us in the Qilin Underground Palace!”
After speaking, he sneakily glanced at Zhan Lan and ran away quickly.
Alchemist Qi and Granny Qi were left staring dumbfounded.
What’s this situation!
The Young Master lacked the love of a mother and sister since he was young; it couldn’t be that he developed so strange feelings for Zhan Lan!
Zhan Lan regarded the Young Master as a child, and didn’t mind his flushed cheeks, “The Young Master is right. I can still earn silver for the Qilin Underground Palace. Telling fortunes and revealing the secrets of heaven every day does shorten one’s lifespan, won’t you co and protect your golden goose?”
She spoke as if it was only natural, but Granny Qi’s eyes said, I trust you, you little trickster! Ghost fortune teller! Who knows how many spies this girl has or where she gets her information. Her accuracy is uncannily perfect! Really ghostly!
“So, when do you want them?” Granny Qi asked coldly.
“Now, imdiately, right this mont. I’m scared that sothing might happen to the mont I step out!” Zhan Lan said, covering her heart with a frightened look.
Alchemist Qi burst into laughter, handing Zhan Lan a few packs of dicinal herbs, “Girl, take these and heal your injuries fast. You, girl, live well, and this old man will feel at ease!”
Zhan Lan said with a smile, “That’s so kind of you!”
While speaking, her hands quickly grabbed the dicine packs, clutching them in her embrace.
Alchemist Qi’s dicine was remarkably effective! Very beneficial for the health.
These dicinal herbs were rare ones that Alchemist Qi found after traveling through famous mountains and rivers, and couldn’t be bought with money!
The value of these few packs of dicine was in the thousands of silver, why not take them when they’re free.
Taking advantage while Granny Qi did not ask her to pay, she hugged them in her arms first.
Granny Qi said sternly: “Zhan Lan, the Death Guard will protect you in secret imdiately, you can owe us for this.”
Zhan Lan nodded, “No problem, I’ll co back to sell more information in a few days. Recently, I’ve been fortune-telling too much and felt like sothing has been draining my body! Cough cough cough…”
Granny Qi looked at Zhan Lan speechlessly, “Just play it up, now go!”
Zhan Lan, holding the dicine packs, waved to the Young Master who was secretly watching her from hiding, put on her veil, and quickly left the Qilin Underground Palace.
