Lanqin stared in disbelief at the little old man, who looked to be over sixty, who had just jumped from such a height and was completely unharmed. Her jaw nearly dropped to the ground in astonishment.
"Old sir, your lightness skill is truly remarkable!" Lanqin admired him from the bottom of her heart. This was the first time she had ever seen the "kung fu" of the ancients since she came from another era. They really did have lightness skills!
Miao Shou gave Lan Qin a wry smile, but when he saw the Fourth Master's face, which was so gloomy it could freeze any smile, he fell silent.
"Sir, are you really going to refuse to treat Father Emperor?" Fourth Prince suppressed his anger and tried to keep his voice calm.
"There's no use talking about this now. Since I can't escape, I'll just go with you," Miao Shou said calmly.
Li Wei had intended to smooth things over, but seeing that the Fourth Master was truly angry, he dared not speak up. Lan Qin, noticing Li Wei's pleading gaze, nodded slightly and said to the Fourth Master, "Master, Doctor Miao was just joking with you, right? I can tell that Doctor Miao is old but not young at heart, and loves to play tricks. This time she just wants to play hide-and-seek with us, doesn't she, Doctor Miao!"
Lanqin winked at Miaoshou, but the latter didn't appreciate it at all. His stubbornness was just as good as that of the Fourth Master!
"Hehe, I didn't see that coming. I think Mr. Miao thought we would chase after him, so he never left this room. Not only that, he also hid on the roof beam. Most people wouldn't think that someone of Mr. Miao's age could climb up such a high roof beam!" Fourth Master said, staring at Miao Shou.
Snap snap snap~
A burst of crisp applause, surprisingly, came from a skilled hand.
"Fourth Prince is indeed wise enough to see through my petty tricks at a glance. I really admire you!" Miao Shou was not embarrassed at all, even though he was actually older than Emperor Kangxi. In ancient times, the Fourth Prince would have been Emperor Kangxi's grandson.
“Mr. Miao, how about we have a contest? I, your Highness, will let you decide what we’re going to compete in. If you beat me, I will stop bothering you.” Fourth Master’s face was still gloomy, but he seemed to have believed Lan Qin’s clumsy attempt at reconciliation and was actually going to “play” with Miao Shou.
This time, Miao Shou was taken aback by the Fourth Master's words. He looked at the Fourth Master in confusion and blurted out, "Really?"
Fourth Master said, "It's true!"
The skilled hand's eyes flickered, clearly indicating an internal struggle, before he whispered, "If I lose to you three times in a row, then I will be at the Fourth Prince's beck and call!"
The Fourth Master suddenly extended his hand and said, "It's a deal!" This time, the Master immediately extended his hand and gave the Fourth Master a high five to seal the oath!
After everyone had breakfast, Miaoshou said he wanted to play chess with the Fourth Master. Lanqin was delighted to hear this, thinking to herself: Go ahead, go ahead. Playing chess is the most mentally taxing and time-consuming activity. This way, I can go to my room and catch up on some sleep.
While the Fourth Master and the Master Chess were playing chess in the main hall, our Comrade Lanqin, supported by Nianxue's hand, swaggered back to catch up on her sleep.
When Lanqin woke up, Nianxue was standing at the door of the room looking down. Lanqin jumped up, slipped on her shoes, walked behind Nianxue, and looked down over her. She saw that Fourth Master and Miaoshou were surrounded by a large group of people on both sides.
"Princess, you're awake?" Nianxue suddenly realized someone was standing beside her. She turned around and saw that Lanqin had indeed gotten up.
