Chapter 136: A Wise Man Does Not Fall in Love
"Thank you for your help." Nan Jiao said gratefully.
"Princess Jin, you are too polite. I wonder if you are interested in the snake poison and if you want to learn it?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile. She should know this.
Nan Jiao rolled her eyes, "The high priest wants to take in a disciple?"
Xiao Yan shook his head, "Princess Jin knows medicine, I think maybe I can learn some snake poison to protect myself."
Nan Jiao smiled meaningfully, "You said I was sensitive and suspicious. Now that you are being so special to me, you'd better give me a reasonable reason."
She has never been to Miaojiang.
Logically speaking, as he is the high priest, he should be on guard against her.
But since she met him, he has been sending out friendly signals, which even made her feel flattered.
She was not happy.
Instead, I felt something was wrong.
"It's just a coincidence. I don't know why, but I just want to teach Princess Jin. I don't have this idea about other people." Xiao Yan said sincerely with a frank expression.
Nan Jiao: “…”
Is the eye contact thing really that magical?
"If Princess Jin wants to learn, you can come to the temple to find me tomorrow." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Yan still didn't give up. He wanted to teach her how to use poison.
"I'll think about it." Nan Jiao said and turned around and left quickly. Her face was calm and her mind was constantly thinking.
Of course she would be willing to learn how to use the snake poison.
Just think of it as an additional self-defense skill.
learn!
Must learn!
Nan Jiao returned to the palace where she lived. When she went in, she saw that Zhan Beiheng had already returned and the Miao maids were preparing dinner.
When Zhan Beiheng saw Nan Jiao, there was no expression on his tough face. He strode towards her and said, "Thank you for your hard work in finding herbs today."
"It's not hard. It's what I should do." Nan Jiao said in a light tone and walked around him towards the dining table.
Zhan Beiheng stood there without moving and pursed his lips.
She's fine this way.
Don't get too close to him.
He didn't get too close to her.
The two of them can act like familiar strangers and control their hearts without being moved. This is good for both of them.
Zhan Beiheng walked to the table and sat down. "We may have to stay in Miaojiang for several days. If you are in a hurry, I can let Mo Li Mo Ran accompany you to the Island of Sin."
"I promised the high priest to learn how to poison snakes from him." Nan Jiao said lightly, feeling angry in her heart.
Is he chasing her away?
He was not like this in Kitazaki Castle.
The snake poison in his body can be cured, so why should he cut off ties with her?
Yes, all his actions were to alienate her and keep his distance from her.
"You want to learn how to poison snakes?" Zhan Beiheng looked surprised.
"Well, if you have something to do, you can go back to Qin first after the poison is removed. I can go to the Island of Sin by myself." Nan Jiao said indifferently.
She would not depend on him.
She can be alone without him.
Zhan Beiheng's left hand on his leg tightened slightly: "Okay."
Nan Jiao: “…”
What does this word "good" mean?
Is he going back to Qin and letting her go to the Island of Sin by herself?
This meal.
Nan Jiao felt very unhappy with the food she was eating, and the atmosphere at the table seemed very bad.
Jiang Yu didn't dare to speak.
Only Gu Feng talked to Nan Jiao from time to time, and she would respond.
Baoer and Youyou looked at each other. Did their parents have a fight?
Although they were small, they could tell something was wrong.
When Zhan Beiheng saw Nan Jiao talking and laughing with Gu Feng, he felt a blockage in his chest, followed by a burning pain, and he immediately turned his face away.
Stop looking at them and try to calm the fluctuations in your heart.
After dinner.
Nan Jiao takes Bao Er and You You to take a bath.
"Mother, are you having a quarrel with father?" Baoer asked while holding Nan Jiao's hand. She said in the afternoon that father would come back to see them, but he didn't.
In the end, he came back later than his mother.
Nan Jiao felt a little sad when she heard what her daughter said. "It's okay. We just had a little disagreement. It will be fine tomorrow."
Bao Er blinked, "That's good."
Yoyo just hated that he couldn't speak, otherwise he would want to comfort his mother.
After watching the two children fall asleep, Nan Jiao did not leave. She sat beside the bed with a thoughtful expression on her face. She was not a little girl who knew nothing.
Could it be that she likes Zhan Beiheng?
impossible!
She won't like him!
You can't like him either!
Nan Jiao kept reminding herself in her heart.
A wise man does not fall in love.
Can't be a love brain.
After calming down, Nan Jiao got up, turned off the lights, walked outside, and slowly returned to her room, waiting for her to go in.
Zhan Beiheng is not here!
She was reluctant to go back to the room because she didn't want to see him, but she didn't expect that he was not there.
This was clearly what she had been looking forward to, but for some reason she felt uncomfortable.
Nan Jiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
But in the end, perhaps because of exhaustion, she fell asleep. She didn't know how much time had passed before she saw a figure standing beside the bed, staring straight at her.
Zhan Beiheng pursed his thin lips and his handsome face was tense.
Was she sent by God to punish him?
When she was the leader of Shura Sect, she always caused trouble for him. After she became Jiang Nanjiao, she broke into his life. At first, he really didn't take her seriously.
But the two of them were together day and night, and it was obvious that this woman was arrogant, unreasonable, and always made him angry.
Logically, he should dislike her.
But his heart was moved and he awakened the dragonfly in his body.
Even if I was poisoned by a snake, that's fine.
Still so cruel.
He was tempted but couldn't get her, but when he was in Kitazaki Castle, he even boasted that he wanted her to like him.
Is God playing a joke on him?
…
The next day.
Nan Jiao woke up slowly. She subconsciously reached out to touch her side, but it was empty. The pillow next to her was still in the same condition as it was before she went to sleep last night.
Zhan Beiheng didn't come back.
To be exact, he was in this palace, but he didn't rest in the same room with her.
Nan Jiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes with a bright smile on her face. It would be better if he didn't come over, so she could sleep however she wanted.
Wait until she goes out.
Zhan Beiheng was outside teaching Baoer and Youyou to write. She stared at them and walked over.
"Mother, father is teaching us how to write. Do you want to learn?" Baoer ran to her, pulled her over, and deliberately gave them a chance to spend time together.
"You guys study hard. Mom will go see if breakfast is ready. I will go learn about snake poison later." Nan Jiao touched her daughter's head.
It was estimated that Zhan Beiheng didn't want her to learn, and she was unwilling to learn either.
Baoer said "oh" and felt a little disappointed, but she didn't want to force her mother.
After breakfast.
Nan Jiao asked Baoer and Youyou to go play in the yard outside, and asked Gu Feng and Jiang Yu to go out as well. Suddenly, she and Zhan Beiheng were the only ones left in the hall.
"Let's talk." Nan Jiao said.
"What do you want to talk about?" Zhan Beiheng looked at her.
Nan Jiao smiled generously and said, "I don't know why your attitude suddenly changed, but I hope that in front of the children, we can maintain the appearance of having a good relationship."
Although they are small, they can actually be seen.
She didn't want them to worry.
