A simple pause left Ji Linyuan's mouth dry and his mind blank: "I...I..."
He tried to argue that he had no designs on her, but that would only confirm that Zheng Sixuan had designs on her.
After hesitating for a long time, the little wolf cub swallowed his excuse. Just as he was wondering how to respond, he saw Si Jin slowly approach him, seemingly... untying his belt.
The boy paused slightly, then held his breath, his limbs stiffened, his eyes reddened, and tears almost fell.
What should I do? Does the young master like him? Or... does he just want to tease him?
Why did he feel like crying when he thought that the young master might not be sincere?
Just as he was struggling with this, he saw Si Jin pull the soft chain from his waist and examine it carefully in his palm: "This chain is nice. I wanted to take a good look at it when I saw you take it out yesterday. Come on, give me your hand."
Hearing this, Ji Linyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his myriad thoughts settling down, and obediently extended his hand.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Si Jin grabbed his wrists and hoisted him onto the roof beam.
The young wolf cub, whose fur hadn't fully grown, almost bristled: "Young Master!"
"The day after tomorrow is the Queen's birthday, and there will be a banquet at the palace. You will come with me and protect her closely. Today, you will practice your horse stance all day here." Si Jin said, and then reached out to adjust his waist position.
"Don't use your hands; focus on using your waist strength to train properly, understand?"
[Hiss... They're even training their strength.]
Xiao Yao gasped softly, but still mustered her courage to speak: "[My lord, the data shows that at his age, he can already draw a heavy iron bow weighing a hundred jin on the grasslands, hitting the bullseye every time. If he trains any longer, your offensive position might... be in danger QAQ]"
Si Jin: ...
The god then plucked off the system's beard and carefully put each little whisker back into Xiao Yao's hand.
With a gentle voice and a faint smile: This is called "plucking the tiger's hair from its mouth."
Xiao Yao: 【(╥ω╥`) 】
It's just a reminder.
"But young master, why did you choose me?" Although he was overjoyed, Ji Linyuan still had to remain rational when he asked.
He couldn't appear too excited, lest the young master develop a grudge against him, and all his efforts would be in vain.
“You’re a fresh start, and you caught a knife barehanded, which is more ruthless than others,” Si Jin said. “The palace is full of dangers, so choosing you is perfect. After you’ve finished training, come to my room for dinner tonight, and I’ll give you a few secret manuals.”
"Thank you, young master!" After bowing, Ji Linyuan continued to train diligently. When his hands got tired, he would rub the white jade thumb ring on his thumb.
Remind yourself that there's only one last step left, but this time you discover... the groove on the ring is gone. That groove was the secret decree, which could be seen when it was submerged in cinnabar.
His thumb ring had been switched, and the secret edict... was gone!
He remembered that when he was being beaten on the street, the steamed bun shop owner kept staring at his ring, and it was indeed snatched away for a moment.
But he took it back quickly, without paying attention to its quality...
If he hadn't been hunted for a month, starving, covered in infected wounds, and mentally unstable, he wouldn't have let those burly men bully him.
Ji Linyuan's heart sank to the bottom. Forgetting about any training, he yanked open the soft chain and went out to look for it.
In the main room, by the window, watching the person hurriedly climbing over the wall to get out, Si Jin put down her teacup and lowered her eyes slightly: "So you finally found out. Guess where he'll look?"
【I don't know QAQ】, the little tiger sniffed hard to keep his tears from falling.
Si Jin ignored it and said directly, "Butler."
The butler entered and waited.
Si Jin: "Didn't the Second Prince want to invite me to dinner and give me a beauty? Let's go to Cui Bai Lou tomorrow."
There will definitely be a good show to watch.
