"I heard that the royal family bought a storage spiritual artifact from the outside world at a high price in the early years. Only emperors of all generations were qualified to own it." Lan Zhi looked suspicious. "How can you, a prince, possess two storage spiritual artifacts?"
Jun Weihe looked calm, "Just because the royal family is poor doesn't mean I'm poor. This is what my mother gave me last month."
"Last month?" Lan Zhi was surprised. "I heard that your mother passed away more than ten years ago..."
Jun Weihe explained with a smile, "My mother lost her memory and married my father. Later, when she regained her memory, she ran away... In order to save face, the royal family announced her death. In fact, she would come back to see me when she was free."
"So that's how it is..."
Jun Weihe continued, "My mother is not from the Da Rui Kingdom. She said her hometown is quite chaotic and the cultivators are very competitive. Sometimes they fight to the death for resources. It is not convenient for her to bring me with her, so she left me here."
"This storage magic device was given to you by your mother, right? Then I can't accept it..." Lan Zhi shook her head, but Jun Weihe grabbed her sleeve. He pressed the butterfly directly into her wrist.
The black butterfly turned into a body pattern and merged into her body. Lan Zhi felt that she had established a contractual relationship with this storage magic device. As long as she thought about it, she could store the things at hand into the butterfly space.
Lan Zhi: “!”
She thought that the contract required a drop of blood, but she didn't expect it to be so convenient.
"I don't need two by myself, so it's just right to give them to you." Jun Weihe laughed.
"Thanks……"
Lan Zhi awkwardly shifted her gaze, feeling that Jun Weihe's smile was too bright, making her dizzy. She said, "By the way, Yuan Zhan and I haven't even touched hands. Don't listen to his nonsense."
"I know. I only trust you, not him."
As he spoke, the carriage had already stopped outside the Lan Mansion. Jun Weihe's body gradually became weaker. He said, "I'm leaving first."
Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment and called out to him, "Wait."
"Um?"
Lan Zhi asked, "I'm going to the maple forest soon. Do you want to come?"
Jun Weihe was slightly taken aback. Thinking about how she had rejected Yuan Zhan's invitation but had taken the initiative to invite him along, this difference in treatment made Jun Weihe feel a little happy. He nodded and said, "Go."
"Then wait for me in the carriage for a while." Lan Zhi gave an instruction and got off the carriage alone.
"Sister!" Jiang Qingcheng had been standing outside the gate bored for a long time. Seeing Lan Zhi's carriage coming back, she stepped forward and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister, why didn't you take me with you when you went out? My cousin is in seclusion practicing, the housekeeper is very quiet, and I'm so bored alone in the mansion. You are the only one who can accompany me..."
Lan Zhi said, "Don't you have friends in the capital? Go find them."
"No." Jiang Qingcheng reached out to hold her arm, but Lan Zhi subconsciously shook it off.
"Sister?" Jiang Qingcheng asked in confusion.
Lan Zhi explained, "When in front of outsiders, you have to pay attention to your manners."
"Are there guests coming?" Jiang Qingcheng stretched her neck and saw Yuan Zhan getting off the carriage behind and walking towards this direction.
"Miss Lan Zhi." Yuan Zhan stood in front of Lan Zhi without even looking at Jiang Qingcheng, as if she didn't exist.
Jiang Qingcheng bit her lip, feeling inexplicably depressed. She tugged at Lan Zhi's sleeve and asked, "Sister, who is this young man?"
Lan Zhi smiled and replied, "His name is Yuan Zhan, the son of Prince Rui. If you like him, you can pursue him."
Jiang Qingcheng waved her hands hurriedly, "What are you talking about, sister? How can I be worthy of His Royal Highness?"
Having said that, Jiang Qingcheng still secretly glanced at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan's expression remained unchanged, still looking only at Lan Zhi, as if no other girl was worthy of his attention. He said seriously, "Miss Lan Zhi, I am devoted to you and will never marry anyone else."
"Oh?" Lan Zhi raised an eyebrow. She caught a glimpse of Jiang Qingcheng's forced smile and suddenly thought the phrase "killing someone and destroying their heart" was quite clever. She was no longer in a hurry to send Yuan Zhan away, but instead asked, "Will Master Yuan take a concubine in the future?"
Yuan Zhan shook his head and said, "No. In my life, if I could have Miss Lan Zhi, it would be the greatest blessing. I will never take a concubine."
As if to prove his point, he added, "This is the family tradition of our Yuan family. Just like my father, he only married one woman in his life, and that was my mother. I will do the same in the future."
Jiang Qingcheng at this time was far less shrewd than she would be three years later. The smile on her face disappeared, and she glanced at Lan Zhi with jealousy. She turned her head to the side and said, "Sister, I'm going out to buy rouge and powder. I won't disturb you and Master Yuan anymore."
Lan Zhi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Can't stand this anymore?
Without spectators, Lan Zhi was too lazy to deal with Yuan Zhan, so she made up an excuse to send Yuan Zhan away.
"Miss Lan, see you tomorrow." Yuan Zhan looked back every few steps and left in a carriage.
As soon as he left, Lan Zhi immediately got on the carriage and prepared to go to Fenglin.
The horses in the Lan Mansion are all spiritual. They only need spiritual power to pull them to their destination and they don't need a coachman at all.
On the way, Lan Zhi asked, "Why are you following Yuan Zhan?"
"I..." Jun Weihe hadn't thought of an excuse yet.
Lan Zhi added, "Don't do that again next time. It's very dangerous. Yuan Zhan is surrounded by ten secret guards who can hide in the shadows... Don't even think about attacking Yuan Zhan. Even if you are the emperor's favorite prince, Prince Rui will still dare to harm you."
"Ten secret guards?" Jun Weihe pretended to be frightened, "I will be more careful next time."
