Chapter 315: Are You Getting Engaged?

Lan Xinyu gritted her teeth at the vacant look on Ling Chuxi’s face. She couldn’t beat her in a fight or an argument, it was so frustrating! She needed to work hard to cultivate and catch up to her!

Seeing the training ground returning to its original calmness, two servants immediately served some tea. They wanted to laugh when they saw their Lan family’s eldest miss with a bruised eye, but did not dare to make a sound. It was really difficult for them to keep it in.

“What are the both of you both looking at? Leave,” Lan Xinyu grumbled dejectedly and waved her hand dismissively.

The servants clamped their hands over their mouths and quickly turned around and left. Very soon, sounds of laughter could be heard from outside the courtyard.

Ling Chuxi glanced at Lan Xinyu. She had indeed matured quite a bit. If it were the Lan Xinyu of the past, those servants would have rather died holding their laughter in than laugh out loud.

“I wanted to ask, is the Lan manor celebrating some kind of happy occasion? Why is it being swept so clean? Are you getting engaged? How come I did not see that directionally challenged idiot though?” Ling Chuxi asked and looked around.

“You’re the one who is getting engaged.” Lan Xinyu rolled her eyes at Ling Chuxi, but her face turned red. “The Fang family from Heaven Water City is coming over in a few days,” Lan Xinyu explained, her expression serious.

“The Fang family? For the sparring that happens between the Lan and the Fang family every ten years?” Ling Yichen asked with a frown.

“Yes.” Lan Xinyu nodded and explained the situation to Ling Chuxi.

The Lan family and the Fang family were both considered ancient clans that had long established history in Nan Xia country. Both sides had been fighting for the silk business of the royal merchants for a long time and eventually, they established a rule that the two clans were to spar every ten years. The business with the royal merchants would then belong to the winning party.

“For the past few decades, our Lan family has produced talents in large numbers. In addition to me, this generation has several Level-7 Battle Qi cultivators. The Fang family has never really produced any decent talents. The Fang family will certainly not be able to gain any advantage this time,” Lan Xinyu said nonchalantly.

As they were talking, an old but refined man walked in from outside. It was the head of the Lan family – Lan Linguo.

“Grandfather.” Lan Xinyu went to welcome him.

“Xinyu.” Master Lan saw Lan Xinyu’s black eye and was stunned.

“I accidentally banged into something,” Lan Xinyu said quickly, her face red.

Master Lan glanced at her suspiciously, then looked at the mess in the training ground and guessed what was going on. He didn’t expose her lie, but there was an imperceptible mirth in his eyes. It looked like this was Ling Chuxi’s work, but since he had initially asked her to temper Lan Xinyu, he should just let them go. Anyway, the current Lan Xinyu had indeed matured and become a lot more sensible. Ling Chuxi had really done well.

“Miss Ling, Master Ling, I just heard of your arrival. Apologies for not greeting you properly.” Master Lan walked over to Ling Chuxi and smiled kindly.

“Master Lan is being too courteous.” Ling Chuxi got up and bowed.

“Have a seat, please. There is no need to be so formal,” Master Lan said warmly.

“Xinyu, how is the preparation for the spar with the Fang family going?” Master Lan asked after sitting down, his brows creased slightly in concern.

“Don’t worry. There will definitely be no problems,” Lan Xinyu said confidently, then noticed the worry on Master Lan’s face and asked hesitantly, “What’s wrong, Grandpa? Did something happen?”

“I heard that Fang Yuanqiu has returned. You really can’t be careless this time,” Master Lan said solemnly.
