As she spoke, she slowly moved closer to him and hugged him tighter. "We could even go a step closer, like this? Wouldn't that help the instructor and the students develop a bond?"
Let other men get so close to her? Sikong Zhan narrowed his eyes dangerously. Seeing that Lin Jinghan was still getting closer, almost touching his skin, he said righteously:
"No! You can't do this to anyone except me! Instructors and students should keep their distance!"
"Your Majesty, we are all teachers. How can we treat each other differently? Anyway, how do you treat me? I will ask other teachers to treat me the same way from now on. That way, I won't feel uncomfortable..."
The tips of their noses had already touched. She opened her red lips slightly, freed one hand, and hit him there. There was a sound of "slap", just like he hit her.
"Master Instructor, please give me your guidance!"
The warm breath hit his face. He thought about this audacious woman. If he dared to admit or acquiesce, she would definitely dare to do this to others! Coupled with the strange feeling coming from the place where he was hit, he could no longer hold back. He suddenly put her to the ground, stood with his hands behind his back, and put on the appearance of a teacher:
"Instructors should keep their distance from students. I was worried about your injury just now, so I overstepped the bounds. If your injury is not serious, please go over on your own."
"Oh, keep your distance!" Lin Jinghan shrugged, looking "disappointed", and walked forward with a "sigh": How boring, he even acted like a hooligan to her, so annoying, and he wanted to learn from others to be an old hand in the flower world?
Looking at Lin Jinghan's smug smile, Sikong Zhan finally came to his senses: This woman was trying to trick him! She was avoiding him like crazy, so how could she approach him so easily? Moreover, given her personality, she would never act like this with just any man! Her threats to be so intimate with other teachers were just bluffs!
His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He strode to her side and opened his mouth to say something, but she suddenly stopped and looked at him in confusion: "Master, where are we going?"
She looked serious, as if the person who had just teased him was not her! For the first time, Sikong Zhan felt a sense of defeat, so he simply walked to the front and led the way, "Follow me."
The two went to Sikong Zhan's training room. Sikong Zhan took out the Qinglian Book and carefully explained its importance.
"Master Prince, didn't you give me this Green Lotus Manual? Why do you still have it in your hand?" Lin Jinghan also took out a Green Lotus Manual, snatched the one from Sikong Zhan's hand, and compared them carefully.
"I copied your copy for you myself." He frowned: Who said there can only be one copy of the martial arts?
"Oh, it's a fake!" Lin Jinghan compared it more carefully, not even missing a punctuation mark, for fear that there was an error in the copy given by Sikong Zhan. If she refined it incorrectly, she might go astray or something like that. It would be too scary!
Sikong Zhan was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Lin Jinghan to finish checking.
After a long time, she finally turned the last page and threw one of the books back to him, "Prince Tutor, let's begin."
"No rush. Most people start practicing martial arts from a young age. After all, you are not a child anymore. I need to make sure your body is suitable for practicing martial arts now." He sat down cross-legged and motioned for her to follow him.
"Oh." She sat down obediently as she was told, and turned her palms outwards, imitating his example.
The moment the four palms touched, a strange feeling surged into her heart, and then something passed through her palms into her body and traveled through her meridians.
"Relax, I want to check your meridians." He said, slowly injecting more and more internal energy into her meridians.
After a long time, he withdrew his internal energy, retracted his palm, and said in surprise: "Pavilion Master Xiang is really dedicated. I have been using the ruler to temper your meridians for the past few days. It has shown initial results. You can start practicing now."
Lin Jinghan glanced at the ruler that Sikong Zhan had put aside, stood up and grabbed it, gritted her teeth and hit her palm, the pain made her gasp, "Why didn't you do this when you hit me, Senior?"
Sikong Zhan found it amusing and took the ruler, explaining, "This ruler is a treasure of the Tianque Pavilion, called the 'Flame Jade Ruler.' Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance; the true material inside is ten thousand year old Flame Jade. Only the ancestors of the Tianque Pavilion had the ingenuity to cover it with a layer of black iron and jade to conceal the scorching heat of the ten thousand year old Flame Jade. Only by combining it with the Tianque Pavilion's skills and unique techniques can the scorching heat inside be stimulated, channeled into the meridians, and tempered. In the hands of others, it's just an ordinary ruler."
"Then why did you use it to hit me? It's a waste of talent." Lin Jinghan muttered softly: The senior hit her to help her, but when he hit her, he was probably just beating her up.
Sikong Zhan heard Lin Jinghan's mumbling clearly, picked up the ruler and tapped Lin Jinghan's arm lightly, "The Pavilion Master Xiang has already taught me how to use the Flame Jade Ruler."
Sure enough, a familiar burning sensation came from her meridians. Lin Jinghan embarrassedly changed the subject: "Master Prince, let's get started. I'm ready!" She couldn't wait to become stronger.
Sikong Zhan opened the first chapter of the Qinglian Manual and began to explain it to her earnestly, guiding her in her practice bit by bit...
The time spent practicing passed quickly, and soon it was noon. Before lunch started, the housekeeper came to report that the eldest princess had sent someone to ask whether Lin Jinghan, the eldest sister, wanted to see Lin Wanrou, the second daughter of Prime Minister Lin, off to the palace tomorrow.
The princess had already sent a letter to Lin Jinghan, asking her to come home and marry Lin Wanrou. However, Lin Jinghan had been ill, and the relationship between the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion was not very good, so the matter was delayed. On the last day, the princess still had not received a reply from Lin Jinghan, so she sent someone to inquire.
"Since I am the eldest sister, how can I not go to see my younger sister off to marry? Go, go early tomorrow morning! Shishu, quickly prepare some makeup for me." Lin Jinghan agreed immediately, then thought of something and turned to ask Sikong Zhan,
"What is Lin Wanrou's position when she enters the palace? How much preparation is needed for her dowry?"
"Noble Concubine, but the Emperor said that all etiquette must be carried out according to the regulations of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is the Vice Queen, so, you need to prepare the additional dowry. Just roughly calculate it and send all your dowry over. I will add a little more, and it should be enough."
"Huh?" Adding makeup to her makeup was going to bankrupt her? And she needed Sikong Zhan's subsidy? All for that little green tea? Lin Jinghan was shocked and spread her hands. "Tell the princess that I'm broke and won't go."
The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Prince Jingnan, "Your Highness..." If it gets out that he doesn't buy makeup for his sister just because he is poor, it will be too embarrassing!
Sikong Zhan nodded, and the butler understood and left.
"I'll go back with you tomorrow. Don't worry about the money for your dowry. I'll have Huichuntang send the balance from last year shortly. If there's any difference, I'll lend it to you."
