Lin Jinghan spoke without hesitation, and roughly told what she knew about Tianque Pavilion, and at the end she praised it.
"To sum up, if it weren't for the fact that all the previous Pavilion Masters of Tianque Pavilion were devoted to the pursuit of truth and lived in seclusion, the most powerful force in the martial arts world would undoubtedly be Tianque Pavilion!"
So this girl knew everything! And yet she rejected him! Was she simply too proud, or was she nostalgic, still thinking about her deceased master? Whatever the reason, it showed that this little girl had good character, and his determination to accept her as his disciple grew even stronger.
Seeing that Xiang Yuanqing didn't seem to give up, Lin Jinghan swallowed her saliva, tried to ignore the hunger coming from her stomach, looked at the roasted pheasant in her hand reluctantly, and handed it to Xiang Yuanqing.
"Senior, please have a meal. I have been out for so long, my prince must be worried. I have to go back now, and we will meet again if we have the chance." Because she was sure that Ding Yuanqing knew her whereabouts from Senior Gu, she concluded that he knew her identity, so she did not hide it anymore.
Seeing that the chosen successor was about to run away again, Xiang Yuanqing could not care less about eating roasted pheasant and tried to persuade her to stay after she returned to King Jingnan. Given King Jingnan's temperament, he would definitely not let her become his disciple. It was unknown when he would wait for her to come out again.
"Hey, little girl, the last time you left without saying goodbye, I was heartbroken for a long time. I spent a lot of time researching the seasoning you left for me, but I couldn't make it as delicious as it was. I missed you so much, and now that I finally found you, you won't just leave me in these woods and ignore me, right?"
You see, birds of a feather flock together. This senior is trying to imitate the old senior and pester her shamelessly! Lin Jinghan said in embarrassment:
"Senior, it's not that Jinghan wants to abandon you. As everyone knows, my prince has a bad temper. I originally planned to eat the roasted pheasant and then go back, but now I've been delayed for quite a while..." See, it's all because of you. I'm going to be late! So, you can't delay me any longer!
"It's okay, I'll go back with you. If Prince Jingnan makes things difficult for you, I'll support you!" Xiang Yuanqing stood up, looking like he was protecting his son.
Lin Jinghan looked up at the sky in silence. She had just sneaked out, and if she brought a man back with her, the scene would be unimaginable...
He bowed solemnly, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. However, Senior, you are a master after all. If you want to visit my prince, you should at least hand over a visiting card first. Then, the Jingnan Palace will respectfully welcome you in, so as not to lose face."
As long as I can get a disciple, what's the point of that empty face? Xiang Yuanqing disagreed, "Jinghan, it's my fault that you returned late. I should go back with you and explain to King Jingnan. Let's go, lead the way."
He wanted to move into Prince Jingnan's Mansion first to prevent the girl from being snatched away by others. He could take his time in considering recruiting a disciple.
"Senior! Let me tell you the truth. The Jingnan Army has strict military discipline. If I bring an outsider to the Jingnan Army base, no matter how much the prince loves me, I will be punished. What do you think?" The other party was unmoved, so Lin Jinghan changed her strategy and began to act pitiful.
Having said that, Xiang Yuanqing naturally couldn't let his future disciple be punished because of him, so he had to give up. "Okay, Jinghan, you go back first. I'll come visit you another day."
"Senior, Jinghan is leaving!" After saying that, she put the still hot roasted pheasant in her hand back on the rack and left.
Watching his future disciple walk away, Xiang Yuanqing sighed, then his eyes changed and he looked in the direction Lin Jinghan left - he remembered that the last time he saw his future disciple, there was no one following her. When he just saw her, he vaguely felt that there was someone around her, but when he felt carefully, there seemed to be no one. Now, as Lin Jinghan left, he clearly felt that two people were secretly following her.
They were two expert trackers! They didn't move, yet he hadn't noticed! They didn't have any murderous intent, so if they weren't enemies, they must be the King of Jingnan's men!
No one can send anyone to follow her disciple, not even her nominal husband!
His figure flashed by, and a moment later, he was holding the two secret guards in his hands, like he was holding two pheasants, and threw them to the ground. Then he took the roasted pheasant off the rack and ate it seriously - this was a gift from his disciple to him, and he couldn't waste his disciple's kindness.
Facts have proven that when people are unlucky, everything they do will be unlucky, so, unlucky Lin Jinghan got lost on the way back...
She sighed at the compass in her hand. The direction was clear, but she hadn't paid attention to it when she first came out. Now she had no idea which direction the Jingnan Army base was in. How could she make such a stupid mistake by wandering out without remembering the way? Sikong Zhan must have pissed her off!
She wandered around in the woods, tired and hungry, and finally couldn't hold on any longer. She sat down against a big tree, looked at the setting sun in the west, and sighed. Although she was sure that there was no one around, she still cautiously pretended to take out food and water from her bag, but actually from the medical space. After eating and drinking, she found a safe place, lit a fire, and sprinkled insect and ant repellent powder all around, intending to spend the night there.
It was a midsummer night, the sky was full of stars, and the sounds of insects and birds were everywhere. As a military doctor, she had a lot of experience in surviving in the wild and was not worried about being attacked by wild beasts. However, if Sikong Zhan found out that she was missing, she wondered how angry he would be.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, just get some sleep first and find a way back tomorrow. Thinking this way, Lin Jinghan leaned against a tree and fell asleep...
Sikong Zhan knew that Lin Jinghan had left the base. He knew very well that as long as Lin Lixuan and Lin Dayong were still with him, she would not run away. He was not worried and just thought that she was in a bad mood and wanted to go out to relax, so he let her go.
However, when Sikong Zhan finished his work, it was almost dark. He asked and found out that Lin Jinghan had not returned yet. He frowned and immediately took out a whistle arrow, lit it, and released it into the air.
Swoosh! The whistle arrow exploded, streaking a streak of red light across the dusk sky. Sikong Zhan, along with Tang Xun, Mu Wenyao, and the others beside him, all nervously stared at the sky, fearing they would miss the signal.
However, the expected response whistle arrow did not explode, and there was no movement in the sky.
"Oh no, something happened!" Mu Wenyao was the first one who couldn't help but looked at Sikong Zhan and blamed him.
"Ah Zhan, how could you let the princess go out alone? The mountains and forests are so dangerous, and it's even more dangerous at night!"
Mu Wenyao was really anxious and didn't even call him "Prince".
"Ye Ping and Ye An are the best at tracking and will not be discovered easily. Now that there is no response, something must have happened..." Tang Xun said worriedly.
Ye Ping and Ye An are the two secret guards who have been following Lin Jinghan.
