Gao Ran was about to speak, but Li Lin suddenly raised his hand to stop her from speaking, but at the same time, his eyes looked at the wall that separated him from the next room, and deliberately used three layers of internal force to test the next door: "If Your Excellency is interested, you might as well come and meet us first." It's really inappropriate to eavesdropping......"

Gao Ran suddenly became vigilant. It stands to reason that the innkeeper would never let other guests stay in her room, and she still hadn't noticed that someone had sneaked into the next door.

But she didn't doubt Li Lin's awareness at all. Therefore, the only possibility can only be that the person should have just sneaked into the next door and was noticed by Li Lin. - Otherwise, when he was with the two An family members before, even if Gao Ran's internal cultivation was far from being able to detect whether there was anyone next door, how could none of the three of them be aware of it?

"Who could it be?"

Even if Li Lin shouted at the other party like this, Gao Ran still didn't hear the slightest movement next door, which shows that the person's internal strength is not low (at least much higher than Gao Ran's), and Li Lin's sudden temptation of his sound attack does not seem to hurt him in the slightest.

However, although there was no movement next door, after a while, there was a knock on their door.

It was only at this time that Gao Ran vaguely smelled a strange fragrance that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Although she really couldn't remember who it would be for a while, she was already sure: the other party must be from the Medical Valley.

"I'm going to open the door. I smelled the strange fragrance on this person's body, although it was a little faint, but it was indeed a smell that only a disciple of the Medicine Valley would have. ”

After speaking, Gao Ran didn't wait for Li Lin to respond to anything, so he got up straight and went to open the door. In her heart, she secretly wondered if this person was someone she knew, or a disciple of Zhao Yi who specially sent her to find her in the Medicine Valley?—— Because this strange fragrance on the other party's body let her know that if it weren't for the other party who could change the smell on her body like Ye Jue, it was that the other party's internal force was indeed equivalent to her, so it would smell so faint;

Holding many preconceived speculations that he was no longer aware of, Gao Ran opened the door.

"Uncle Xiao?!" - but he didn't expect that this answer was completely unexpected by Gao Ran. Not only did she not expect that the person who came was Zhao Feng, but she also didn't expect him to return to her in this way.

But soon, she reacted, and deliberately pretended to be surprised but actually teased him: "So, you have cracked the secret of the second uncle's regulation of the fragrance? And just now, you shouldn't want to eavesdrop, but want to sleep next door to me, but unfortunately, there is a top master in my room today, but you just entered the house, and he caught you?"

In the end, Gao Ran really amused himself, and he chuckled unconsciously.

"Hmph!" Originally, listening to Gao Ran's words in the first half, Zhao Feng was quite proud, but after listening to her words in the second half, his face instantly darkened.

Someone could have noticed it immediately when he had just entered the house—and it was next door, not in the same room! Being caught like this, no matter what Zhao Feng thought, he felt extremely embarrassed. I really wish I would never remember this again! But Gao Ran was going to deliberately do it to him, that is, to laugh at him so bluntly in front of him, which made the shame and indignation that he didn't want to admit immediately jumped up.

"Little girl, don't think that you can do whatever you want if I love you!"

was warned by Zhao Feng so sharply, although Gao Ran knew that he was clearly duplicitous, he still restrained his momentary presumptuousness in a timely manner, and hurriedly gave him a step down: she deliberately coughed dryly, and then deliberately put on a "serious" expression that tried to hold back a smile, and invited Zhao Feng into the house very solemnly.

Zhao Feng saw that although she was very deliberate, because she actually wanted to find a reason to come back, he couldn't care about the awkwardness in his heart, and decided to take this opportunity to reconcile with her, so he also pretended not to care about the teasing she had just made to him, and swaggered into the house.

Although it was the first time for Li Lin to meet this genius who was said to be a once-in-a-century wizard in the Medical Valley, Zhao Feng, he still had a rough understanding of him. Seeing that Zhao Feng was really standing in front of him, and deliberately sat opposite him, and glared at him fiercely unconvinced, Li Lin could only sigh in his heart at this moment that he had unintentionally offended Zhao Feng just now.

But no matter what, the mistake has been made, so his long-cherished wish to get to know Zhao Feng is afraid that it is destined to be a bumpy road. But fortunately, along with "bad", there will always be the same amount of "good": by watching Gao Ran's interaction with Zhao Feng just now, it is not difficult for Li Lin to see that the relationship between the two must be very close. That being the case, as long as he can persuade Gao Ran to help him, then there may still be hope for the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish, and he can use Gao Ran to bypass the obstacles he unintentionally caused to himself just now, and use a more special and convenient way to achieve his goal. He believed that although he didn't have that ability, Gao Ran did. — as long as she wants.

Thinking of this, Li Lin suddenly rejoiced that he had chosen at the beginning-although he didn't think so at the time, but he still agreed to Gao Ran to let her owe him a favor on the condition that he ran errands, and handed over the letters she wrote to Yun Jie, the fourth prince of Yunxiang, and their pavilion master Qiu Yueze, respectively.

After having this calculation in his heart, Li Lin unconsciously restrained his original posture a little, and no longer made himself appear to be as obviously slightly stronger than Gao Ran's existence before, but appropriately weakened himself to an existence that was basically equal to Gao Ran and Zhao Feng: because just now, he had clearly seen that the usual way of getting along between Zhao Feng and Gao Ran was a reciprocal relationship, not a slightly unequal relationship like he and Gao Ran always wanted to be slightly higher than Gao Ran, and since he had the heart to get to know Zhao Feng, it was natural to do what he liked and approach him in a more comfortable wayUntil he finally impressed him and made him willing to make friends with him.

Regarding this subtle change in Li Lin's attitude, although Zhao Feng, who had only contacted Li Lin for the first time, was not aware of it, Gao Ran was obviously aware of Li Lin's deliberateness and the ulterior motives behind it - although she did not know his final intentions, she knew that it must be related to Zhao Feng.

With this awareness in her heart, Gao Ran decided to temporarily endure the discomfort caused by Li Lin's deliberateness, and then listen to him explain his intentions to her - she had an intuition that Li Lin would have to ask her for help for that purpose related to Zhao Feng in the future. Therefore, she just needs to wait for Li Lin's confession later, and she doesn't have to bother speculating.

So, without Zhao Feng knowing or noticing, Li Lin and Gao Ran each restarted the important matters that had been interrupted before and had not yet been discussed......

"Uncle Li, you should know that an old friend of mine came to visit a few days ago, right?"

"You're talking about Fu Wenxuan?"

"Well, that's him. Uncle Li, to tell you the truth, in fact, he came this time, obviously to follow the instructions of the Fu family master, to find me before the Gao family, and then bring me back on the grounds that the Gao family had promised to keep me as a hostage for the time being, but in fact, he was instigated by his father Gao Liwen, intending to take me away during the most sensitive period of the change of power in the Jiao Kingdom, so as to facilitate Gao Liwen's actions in the future.

"From this point of view, the Gao and Fu families should not be aware of the close relationship between me and Tiange, otherwise the Gao family would not be stupid enough not to take advantage of this, and the Fu family would not be so stupid as not only not afraid of this hidden danger at all, but even want to hold me hostage in the Fu family...... But Gao Liwen is different.

"Not to mention, when he came to see me in person, he had already learned from me about the close connection between me and Tiange, even if Fu Wenxuan was able to find my exact location so quickly, it was enough to show that in addition to Fu Wenxuan himself having enough necessary knowledge about me, there was also the assistance of Gao Liwen's sufficiently accurate and timely information to him. From this, it is not difficult to see that the intelligence network mastered by Gao Liwen is no less than that of Tiange.

"Uncle Li, as far as you know, are there any sect organizations in this Jianghu that have always been low-key, but their ability to gather intelligence is no less than that of Tiange?

"I have followed the clues revealed to me by the second senior uncle to investigate the details of those sects that should only be part of Gao Liwen's forces, but I have not found any that meet the conditions I just mentioned. Those sects seem to be more responsible for the supply of financial resources on the surface and the deterrence of power on the surface.

"But all indications are that Gao Liwen does control an organization that is by no means inferior to Tiange, at least in terms of its ability to gather and control intelligence, but it may be more low-key than Tiange. Coupled with the fact that Tiange was too conspicuous, he inadvertently helped Gao Liwen, making his intentions even more low-key. The average person may not even realize that there is such a large organization around them......

"—just like the rather ominous first impression he gave me when I first met Gao Liwen at the Fu family: low-key, but strangely low-key......"

While Li Lin was contemplating what Gao Ran had just guessed, Zhao Feng deliberately approached Gao Ran, who was sitting between him and Li Lin at the moment, and whispered into her ear: "I met the second senior sister yesterday, and she told me the secret of changing the fragrance. However, I can hear it, so it's still very good!"

"Oh, it's very powerful! If I were to be replaced, I am afraid that even if she taught me by hand, I might not be able to really comprehend the mystery, and naturally I would not be able to master such a mysterious skill. So, of course, Uncle Xiao is the most powerful!"

Gao Ran was very interested in quickly jumping out of the previous serious discussion with Li Lin, and coaxed him according to Zhao Feng's wishes, moderately satisfying what he needed at the moment must be praise and recognition from her.

But at the same time, she also secretly wrote down the matter - it turned out that Zhao Feng had seen Ye Jue. If it is after Ji Muqing will pass tomorrow, she still has to find Ye Yu's body to give him an explanation, and the matter can really be over, then she plans to hand over the matter to Zhao Feng for her.

- With this level of demand, Gao Ran naturally has to coax him more carefully at this moment, lest he be angry with her again like last time. - Although she knew that he would eventually come back obediently like this time, who knew how long it would take him to come back?—— this uncertainty about Zhao Feng's return date made Gao Ran not dare to take the slightest risk at this juncture that really needed him.

But Zhao Feng only thought that Gao Ran's rare obedience was probably just trying to show favor to him - he was sorry for making him angry at the beginning, and he was actually trying to find a step for himself, so that his initiative to return this time could become justified, so he naturally chose to believe in the possibility he wanted to believe very easily, and there was no doubt that he and Gao Ran had truly reached a reconciliation.
