Chapter 9: The Iceberg Beauty
Seeing that there were many students from the academy gathered in the square in front of him, Lin Ling was also curious in his heart, and under the leadership of Lu Yu, he hurriedly ran towards the square.
In the middle of the square, there were two people standing, a man and a woman, the man was very handsome, with short hair, the neckline of the black robe was slightly open, the cuffs were rolled up to the middle of the arms, revealing wheat-colored skin, the eyes were deep and focused, the bridge of the nose was high, and the whole body exuded a powerful aura. Look at another woman, a pale green long skirt, the cuffs are embroidered with pale blue peonies, the silver thread outlines a few auspicious clouds, the hem is densely packed with a row of blue sea clouds, the chest is a wide piece of pale yellow brocade wrapped in the chest, the body gently turns the long skirt and spreads out, the gestures are graceful like the wind blowing willows, the cheeks are like a picture scroll sketched by God himself, there is no flaw on the whole body, but for some reason, there is no expression at all, as if he has never smiled since birth, and the two of them are standing face to face, or the man has been blocking the woman from leaving, and has been saying something to the womanใ
"Brother Lu Yu, who are the two of them, it seems that they should also be students of the academy, right?" Lin Ling asked.
"Haha, Brother Xian, you just came to the academy, don't you know, these two are second-year students of our academy, and the male is a second-year student of the martial arts department of the academy, named Li Xiaoran. His father is Li Jin, the richest man in the mainland. Although he was born rich and noble, he has extraordinary strength, among the students of their class, he can be called the first, and that woman must be no stranger to the virtuous brother, he is a student of the water department of the academy's magic branch, and is recognized as the first beauty by the male students of the academy, however, this student has been in the academy for a whole year, and he has just been promoted to the second grade a few days ago, and he has never seen her smile for so long in the academy, so he is nicknamed the iceberg beauty by everyone, and more importantly, the virtuous brother, do you know her name?" Lu Yu asked.
"The eldest brother is really good at laughing, the younger brother only came to this academy today, how can he know her name?" Lin Ling said with a smile.
"Nalan Ruohan, Brother Xian should understand now, right?"
"What?Nalan Ruohan, a member of the Nalan family?" Lin Ling was shocked.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the virtuous brother had just come to the academy, and half of the people from the four major families had already seen it, listening to the eldest brother, if you want to dominate the continent and re-establish your reputation as an orthodox shaking star, disputes will inevitably arise in the future, and the virtuous brother should not be difficult with the relationship with the other six emperors, but which of the other six emperors does not have their own territory, cities, generals and soldiers on this continent. If the virtuous brother wants to have a place on this continent, he will definitely need the help of others, and these four families are the best choice, since he has the opportunity to get along with them now, I hope that the virtuous brother can make friends with them, and it will be used again in the future. Lu Yu said to Lin Ling earnestly.
"Naturally, the eldest brother bothered so much for the younger brother, I really don't know how to thank the eldest brother. โ
"Brother Xian said this, and he will see the outside, and in the future, Brother Xian will be the emperor, and my face as a big brother will also be light. โ
Just as the two were talking, there was another commotion in the center of the square, and the onlookers shouted one after another, it really has nothing to do with themselves, it seems that everyone wants to see Li Xiaoran and Nalan Ruohan move. Witness the war between the first powerhouse of the martial arts branch and the iceberg beauty!
"Ruohan, don't be angry, the two of us have known each other for a year, since the first day you came to the college, I have liked you, and I have never stopped pursuing you during this year, today you have to give me an answer no matter what, be my wife, my father has promised, as long as the two of us are together, as soon as the study of the college is over, we will immediately hold a wedding, my Li family is willing to use half of the family business as a dowry, marry you, you promise me!" Li Xiaoran said affectionately to Nalan Ruohan.
"Don't waste time on me, I have the unshirkable mission of this generation of my family, and my children's private affairs have long been asked, since the day I was born, this life does not belong to me, I have decided to put all my efforts and energy into revitalizing my Nalan family, Li Xiaoran, with your net worth, why bother with me. There shouldn't be a few girls who like you, just let me go, the two of us are fruitless. Nalan Ruohan still said to Li Xiaoran with a blank face.
"Ruohan, I know that you are only dedicated to the family business, but you can't give up your happiness because of the whole family, not to mention that my Li family is the richest man on the mainland, with countless assets, with our family to help you, can't you revitalize your family more easily, my Li family and your Nalan family are married, it will be beneficial and harmless to you, why don't you agree, what other conditions do you have, even if you say it, I, Li Xiaoran, will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not hesitate. โ
"Li Xiaoran, why can't you understand what I say, what if your Li family is rich and powerful? What can you do if you Li Xiaoran are superior in strength and the number one in the world? As long as I don't want to, no one can force me to do what I don't want to! Okay, if you don't give up, then I tell you today that it's okay to be my husband, but you have to meet my three conditions before I consider marrying you. Nalan Ruohan said.
"Okay, Ruohan, as long as you change your mind, don't say three conditions, that is, thirty, three hundred, I will promise you. Hearing that Nalan Ruohan gave him a glimmer of life, Li Xiaoran didn't care about anything, and hurriedly agreed.
"Listen, first, I want you to become one of the top ten powerhouses in the continent, and in the entire Beidou Continent, I want the whole world to know that you Li Xiaoran is the strongest person who can compete with the Seven Emperors of the Big Dipper. Second, I want you not to pester me anymore from today onwards, and when you see me in the academy, you must also hide and leave until the academy battle in half a year, and after you have won the championship in the battle for supremacy, you can meet me. Third, sooner or later, you will become the heir of your Li family, and I want you to distribute all your family property to the poor and poor families on the mainland after you become the heir, and start from scratch. If you can do these three things, I, Nalan Ruohan, swear here, I will not marry you Li Xiaoran!" Nalan Ruohan said loudly.
Hearing the three things mentioned by Nalan Ruohan to Li Xiaoran, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was quiet, these three things, none of them can be done casually by ordinary people, one is to become one of the strongest people in the mainland, not counting the Seven Emperors of the Big Dipper on the mainland, there are countless masters in the four major families, and there are not a few masters in the world who live in seclusion in the continent, if you want to call it the strongest person on this continent, your strength must at least be on par with the Seven Emperors of the Big Dipper. And the second is to win the championship in the academy battle, there are no less than hundreds of strong people in the academy, Li Xiaoran is certainly the first in the martial arts department, but it is not the first in this Beidou Academy, seven major departments, tens of thousands of students, the strong is not only you Li Xiaoran alone. And third, as we all know, the Li family is the richest man in the mainland, and if Li Xiaoran inherits all the rivers and mountains laid down by his father one day, not to mention that Li Xiaoran himself does not agree, even his father and the rest of the Li family will not agree.
"Is this Nalan Ruohan clearly embarrassing Li Xiaoran! Brother Lu Yu, it seems that this Li Xiaoran has to give up! It's a pity that this pair is talented and beautiful. "It seems that even Lin Ling feels sorry for the two of them!
"Haha! Ruohan, you are really the woman I Li Xiaoran identifies as, I promise you all these three things, the strongest person in the mainland, the champion of the academy hegemony battle, give up the family business and start from scratch, I promise you, I want you to know that I, Li Xiaoran, am willing to do anything for you. Li Xiaoran did not hesitate and resolutely agreed.
The audience screamed again, and the boys all accused Li Xiaoran, feeling that he was a complete fool for giving up his good future and illustrious family background for a woman. The girls didn't think so, and when they saw Li Xiaoran in front of them giving up everything for Nalan Ruohan and promising a goal that might take him all his life to achieve, they all screamed, wishing that they could become a woman like Nalan Ruohan.
Seeing the strange actions and words of the people in front of them, Lin Ling and Lu Yu glanced at each other and turned to leave.
Because the square was crowded with people, waiting would definitely attract the academy's guards to come and drive them away, so the two did not continue to move forward, but returned the same way, Lu Yu returned to the teacher's lounge, and Lin Ling was also ready to go back to the dormitory and take a rest, he was really tired from rushing these days.
On the way back, Lin Ling was not idle, but silently planned in his heart how he should live in the future, after all, in this Beidou Academy, his purpose is to improve his own strength, and how to make friends so that he can help himself dominate the continent in the future, this communication aspect of his father has never taught himself, everyone knows that since the emperor on the mainland, he has always been the worst tempered among the seven people, and since ancient times, the master has been lonely, and the army has really responded to this sentence, and has never made any friends, and the remaining six people of the Seven Emperors, there are very few who can be called friends of the armyใ How to interact with people has really become a difficult thing for Lin Ling.
Just thinking about it, a girl in front of her caught Lin Ling's attention, it seemed that this person was quite familiar, Lin Ling always felt that he had seen it somewhere. Wait, isn't this the iceberg beauty Nalan Ruohan just now? Why is he here? Seeing Nalan Ruohan sitting on a bench in the distance, Lin Ling walked over, after all, everyone will always know each other in the future, not to mention, she is still a member of the four major families, and it is much better to be a friend than an enemy.
"Hello, you are Nalan Ruohan! First time we met, I am ....."
"Lin Ling, there is no need to introduce it. I already knew about you. I noticed you when I was talking to Li Xiaoran in the square just now, yes, the five-stage star spirit envoy has excellent strength, and can also be called a talent, no wonder he will get such a high praise from our Liu Lan, and he also pulled me to accompany him to your downstairs to peek at you, it's really boring, I don't know what that girl likes about you, there are so many people like you, why are you obsessed with you. Nalan Ruohan said coldly.
"Liu Lan, why is the name so familiar, oh, I remember, it's the senior sister who received me when I first came to the academy, I'm really sorry, I really don't know why she is so interested in me, but I hope Senior Sister Nalan doesn't point the finger at me, I don't care what others think, I can't influence her thoughts, I hope senior sister will pay attention to your words." To be honest, Nalan Ruohan's cold attitude did make Lin Ling feel uncomfortable, and it was difficult to continue the conversation, it seemed that it was difficult for Nalan Ruohan to become his friend.
"Don't get me wrong, I just happened to rest here for a while, if it's okay, I hope you don't bother me, I want to be alone. โ
"Okay, then I'll leave first, don't bother the senior sister!" Lin Ling really held back the fire in his stomach and had nowhere to go, so he quickened his pace and left quickly, for fear that he would not be able to control himself and would make a move, which was really like his father's hot temper.
The two of them just said a few words and ended the conversation, but Lin Ling didn't know that everything that had just happened was seen by Li Xiaoran in the distance, Li Xiaoran didn't know what the two said, but in a word, in this academy, the person who made Nalan Ruohan unhappy could be called Li Xiaoran's enemy
