"That's right. I was just following the ssage you left , so I took a sniff," Jiang Xinghai said, letting go of Shen Lingyin's hand.
Shen Lingyin wanted to slap Jiang Xinghai across the face.
But she *had* left him a ssage giving him permission to sll it.
After all, last night, she had seen Jiang Xinghai examining her sister, turning it over and over to observe it and even sniffing it.
"The sll is actually pretty good, a faint fragrance. Don't worry," Jiang Xinghai said with a yawn, closing his eyes to rest.
"Jiang Xinghai!"
Shen Lingyin couldn't stay calm any longer. "You... you actually tasted it?!"
"I was talking about the sll!" Jiang Xinghai was suddenly wide awake and sat up.
Hearing the commotion, Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun rushed over.
"Lingyin, did he... bully you?"
"What 'pretty good sll'?"
The two of them couldn't believe it. 'Was Jiang Xinghai actually hitting on Shen Lingyin?'
"Sis, Sister Yanyun, it's nothing. You two go on back to what you were doing. I'm just going to have a little private chat with him," Shen Lingyin said with a giggle.
"Lingyin, don't be so disrespectful," Shen Lingxue said, annoyed.
Su Yanyun glanced at Jiang Xinghai and chid in, "That's right, Lingyin. If you want to have a private chat, you should at least find soone of the sa sex. Your sister and I can listen, but you shouldn't be talking privately with a grown man, right?"
"Actually, Comrade Jiang Xinghai is my confidant, my best bro, my soul sister," Shen Lingyin declared cheerfully, slinging an arm over Jiang Xinghai's shoulders.
Jiang Xinghai and the other two were instantly speechless.
'That works too?'
"You're not sleeping anymore?" Shen Lingxue asked, looking at Jiang Xinghai.
"With three nation-toppling beauties like you here, how could I possibly have the mind to sleep?" Despite his words, Jiang Xinghai lazily flopped back onto the bed.
Seeing this, Shen Lingyin felt too embarrassed to stay.
"My good bro Lingyin can stay. You two can go get busy," Jiang Xinghai said with a wave of his hand.
Helpless, Shen Lingxue left the door wide open before leaving with Su Yanyun.
"Brother Xinghai, I should probably not disturb you," Shen Lingyin said, trying to slip away.
The previous topic was so awkward. How could she have the face to stay and continue the conversation?
"What I said before were my most direct observations. The color and sll are perfectly normal. But regarding your irregular periods, I still need to check your pulse and conduct a proper examination. We can't be careless, understand?" Jiang Xinghai said, his eyes still closed as he began to drift off.
Shen Lingyin nodded silently, pulled a thin blanket over the man's stomach, and turned to leave.
From beginning to end, Jiang Xinghai hadn't made any move to mock or even flirt with her. It seed she had been overthinking things.
「An hour later.」
Jiang Xinghai's phone rang.
Shen Lingyin hurried into the break room, saw the two words "Mi Hong" on the caller ID, and answered the phone.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, it's ti for us to go. Zhiqiu is urging us to et up for dinner," Mi Hong said.
"Divine Doctor Jiang is resting right now. Besides, he already has plans tonight, so he won't be joining you for dinner. Goodbye." Shen Lingyin took it upon herself to say this before hanging up.
Mi Hong was completely stunned.
'That little rascal is still resting? I hope he's not getting so poor girl into trouble.' She let out a long sigh and helplessly drove away.
「Not long after.」
Shen Zhengye also called, and again, it was Shen Lingyin who answered.
"Dad, Brother Xinghai is resting," Shen Lingyin said.
"Lingyin, where are you?" Shen Zhengye asked, slightly taken aback.
"In my sister's office," Shen Lingyin replied.
"Oh, that's good then," Shen Zhengye said with a nod.
He hadn't thought about marrying both of his daughters to Jiang Xinghai. After all, society was progressing.
"By the way, Dad, tonight you and Mom..." Shen Lingyin began to ask.
"Your mother and I are going to a Martial Arts banquet. You and your sister should stay at the company." Shen Zhengye had no intention of letting his two daughters go to Luolin Mountain.
Neither of his daughters had stepped into the world of Martial Arts, and he worried it would be too bloody for them to handle.
Shen Lingyin hesitated for a mont before asking, "Then did you need Brother Xinghai for sothing?"
"Since he's resting, I won't disturb him. Just rember to wake him up by 7:30 at the latest." With that, Shen Zhengye hung up.
Shen Lingyin told Shen Lingxue about the conversation.
"If Father doesn't want us to go, then we won't," Shen Lingxue said, even though she really wanted to accompany Jiang Xinghai.
But she also knew that if her presence ended up being a burden, it wouldn't be worth it.
「Night fell. 6:30 PM, Luolin Mountain.」
The mountain road, which once had only a single line of streetlights, was now brilliantly illuminated.
The entirety of Luolin Mountain was dotted with new searchlights, making it as bright as day.
Never before had Luolin Mountain been as lively as it was tonight.
It was an unprecedented spectacle.
The renowned Jizhou Martial Arts master, Wanyan Xiong, had been challenged to a duel—tonight!
The challenger's na—the Mysterious Man!
This was a deliberate move by Wanyan Xiong to build hype.
After all, in his opinion, the na "Jiang Xinghai" was far too obscure to deserve being ntioned alongside his own on the admission tickets.
The two words "Mysterious Man," on the other hand, created a much more enigmatic atmosphere.
「At the foot of the mountain.」
Cars ca and went in a bustling stream.
Although there were only five hundred admission tickets, many people had found good vantage points, even bringing out high-tech gadgets like night-vision binoculars.
