Sima Rulan pondered for a while, but sat down on the chair again, the angry and annoyed expression on her face disappeared, and she regained her calm on the jade face, and suddenly said: "Since it's just a rumor that some idlers speculate about, we don't have to pay attention to it." Miss Ben has decided that from today onwards, she will stay in the Bartisky Tower for the time being!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Hua Bushi didn't expect it, but also scared Xiong Tiannan a lot.

Sima Rulan stared at Hua Bushi with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "Didn't you say that the Bar Sky Tower is not safe, someone is going to assassinate you, and you want to ask the City Lord's Mansion to send someone to help protect you, now that the person has come, it is Miss Ben herself, Mr. Hua will not be unwelcome, right?"

Hua Bushi said, "But...... This ......"

Sima Rulan curled her mouth and said, "What is this and that, if you have something to say, you just say it!"

Hua Bushi said: "But we can't afford to pay a thousand taels a day, but Miss Lan'er is still ......."

At the moment when rumors are spreading, if this city lord lady still openly lives in the Bark Sky Tower, the ambiguous rumors between her and Hua Bushi will not be washed away even if she jumps into the Yellow River. The eldest young master knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to use the excuse that he couldn't pay the silver taels as a prevarication.

Sima Rulan snorted lightly and said, "You are really greedy for money and stingy, and you refuse to give out this silver tael! Okay, I live here and am responsible for protecting the safety of the Bark Sky Tower, and I don't take a tael of silver, as long as you take care of the food every day, this is always okay, right?"

Hua Bushi still wanted to push and shove again, but Xiong Tiannan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Sister Lan'er, are you joking? How can you live in a place like Bark Tianlou! Don't mess around, go back to the City Lord's Mansion with Brother Wei!"

As he spoke, he walked up to Sima Rulan's side and reached out to pull her arm.

Sima Rulan shook her right hand, broke free from Xiong Tiannan's pull, and said: "Xiong Tiannan, I have decided to live in the Bark Sky Tower, you don't need to worry about this matter, you can go back yourself!"

At this time, Xiong Tiannan's face had sunk, and he said: "Sister Lan'er, I didn't tell you before, in fact, today I was ordered by my father to come to find Sister Xian, and my father was because he heard the rumors in the city that it was too unpleasant, so he ordered me to persuade Sister Xian, it is best to stay in the house and not go out casually." ”

Sima Rulan said: "You go back and tell Uncle Xiong that your niece has her own opinions, please rest assured that the old man is." It's none of your business here, you just have to go back!"

Xiong Tiannan said: "Then how can it be done! Daddy has already promised me, this time when Uncle Sima returns to the island, he will come to the door to propose to your father, and then you and I will be a family." You are so willful, and you still have to live in this kind of place, but the reputation of our Xiong family is bad, how can it have nothing to do with me!"

Xiong Bailing is the deputy hall master of the "Wanjin Hall", and his status in the sect is second only to Sima Zhufeng, and the Xiong family has a deep friendship with the Sima family. Since the beginning of Okura Castle, the two families have moved to the island together, and the sons of the bear family, Xiong Tiannan and Sima Rulan, have also grown up together in Okura Castle, and they can be said to be very familiar with each other.

Xiong Tiannan has long had a love for Sima Rulan, and begged his father many times to go to Sima City Lord to propose marriage, but Xiong Bailing did not agree. It's not that Xiong Bailing doesn't approve of this family business, if you want to blame it, you can only blame this Xiong eldest prince for being too angry.

Sima Zhufeng has no heirs, only Sima Rulan is a daughter. Sima Rulan was born smart, with excellent martial arts qualifications, and when she was a teenager, she got the true biography of Sima Zhufeng's Shaolin martial arts, and she was well-read, able to write and martial arts, and quite upright and chivalrous.

Sima Zhufeng saw it in his eyes, of course, he was very pleased, and he also intended to let his daughter take over the "Wanjintang" in the future and inherit the position of the lord of Okura. However, because of this, he also set very high conditions for choosing a son-in-law for his daughter, not only requiring outstanding martial arts and character, but also being able to do everything in literature, strategy, trading and operation.

In Sima Zhufeng's view, even if his beloved daughter can become the lord of Okura City in the future, she will be a daughter after all, and this big city will actually be ruled by her and her married husband. With such a heavy responsibility, of course, he can't hand it over to a mediocre person who has no ability.

Xiong Tiannan is not a mediocre person, but in addition to being tall and strong, his strength is not small, and his martial arts are passable, he can barely read and write.

Xiong Bailing has a deep friendship with Sima Zhufeng, and he knew the criteria for Sima Tang's master to choose a son-in-law for his daughter early on, and he knew very well that even if he said goodbye to Xiong Tiannan, he would definitely have no hope at all, and he would only be bored with himself, so he simply didn't mention it. When he returned home, he urged his son to read more books and literature, at least barely up to the standard in appearance, and only then did he give it a try.

This is also the reason why Xiong Tiannan obviously looks like a martial artist, but he wants to dress up as a scholar. With Xiong Tiannan's mind, it is too difficult to read and learn literature for a while, but it is very easy to change the costume of a literati.

There are rumors about Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi in the city, and the most anxious person is not others, it is this talented man Xiong Tiannan. He immediately went to his father for help, but Xiong Bailing was indifferent, and only let his son persuade the city lord and the eldest lady by himself.

So Xiong Tiannan found the city lord's mansion and came to the barking tower again, at this time he saw that Sima Rulan not only refused to go back, but wanted to live in the barking tower, and in a hurry, he told the matter of proposing marriage.

Who knew that it was okay if he didn't say it, but as soon as he said that he was proposing, Sima Rulan's pretty face suddenly sank, and shouted: "Xiong Tiannan, you shut up! My father has never agreed to family affairs, who is a family with you! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for driving you out!"

Xiong Tiannan was full of admiration for the eldest lady of the city lord in his heart, but Sima Rulan did not have much affection for this eldest prince Xiong, but because the two families were world friends, she was still polite to Xiong Tiannan, but today this eldest prince Xiong actually said the marriage proposal to his face, and he was ashamed to claim that he was a family with her, but Sima Rulan was ashamed and angry.

Xiong Tiannan Tiger has a bear waist on his back, and his strength is greater, but his scheming reaction is a little sluggish, he is really a simple-minded, well-developed person, and he is still saying in his mouth at this time: "Our two families have such a good relationship, as long as my father says it, your father will definitely agree, our two family affairs are a matter of time before anyway, what is the ......matter of a few days earlier?"

Sima Rulan was furious, and before he could finish speaking, he shouted loudly: "Shut up!" In one step, he deceived Xiong Tiannan, waved his right palm and slapped it straight over!

Xiong Tiannan saw the beauty flying with a palm, and hurriedly raised his hand to block, and said, "Sister Xian has something to say, why do you move?"

He Xilou, who was born in Southern Shaolin that day, was beaten by Xiong Bailing within ten moves and vomited blood and fell, which shows that the Xiong family's "Shocking Bear Paw" is really a very domineering palm technique. Although Xiong Tiannan is not good at learning literature, he is not bad at learning martial arts, he has been inherited by Xiong Bailing, and his palm kung fu is not weak, plus he is tall and strong, Liliang is outstanding, even if he parries other people's attacks at will, he can block them.

It's just that Sima Rulan is no one else. Her martial arts are passed down from Sima Zhufeng, and they are authentic Shaolin stunts, compared to the martial arts of He Xilou's Southern Shaolin lay disciples, they are completely incomparable! Although Xiong Tiannan raised his hand to block Sima Rulan's palm, a dark energy had penetrated his arm and slammed into his chest!

This dark energy, this is one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, the "fighting cattle across the mountain" in Luohan Boxing!

Even if Xiong Tiannan was physically strong, he was a little unbearable to receive this blow, the true qi on his chest floated, and he took a big step back, and Sima Rulan's second palm hit him in the chest!

With a "bang", Xiong Tiannan couldn't dodge it, and hit it again!

The palm just now has made him unstable on his feet, and the liliang of the second palm is better than before, Xiong Tiannan retreated five or six steps under the impact of dark energy, but he still couldn't remove the strength of the opponent's palm, "poof", sat down on the ground with a butt, and smashed several green bricks on the ground.

Although Sima Rulan made a sudden move, Xiong Tiannan parried at will and suffered a dark loss, but with only two palms, he knocked a big man as strong as a bear to the ground, and this city lord lady was indeed extraordinary.

Even Xiong Tiannan himself didn't expect that he couldn't even resist Sima Rulan's two palms!

He had already heard that this Lan'er virtuous sister had won the true inheritance of the city lord's martial arts, but he had never fought with her, he only thought that no matter how high her martial arts were, she was just a woman, and her strength must be limited. And Xiong Tiannan has always been proud of his height and strength, and his martial arts are strong, but now that he is so easily defeated by a woman, his face is really a little unbearable, and his dark face has turned purple.

He stretched out his hand to the ground, got up in embarrassment, and said, "You...... You...... How dare you beat me......"

Sima Rulan said: "What if I beat you!" Xiong Tiannan, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will no longer show mercy to my subordinates the next time I make a move!"

Although Xiong Tiannan was knocked down with two palms and lost face, he was not injured, thanks to the mercy of the city lord's eldest lady.

He was ashamed and angry, but he stretched out his hand and pointed to Hua Bushi, who was sitting on the side, and said: "Okay, you bark at the sky, you dare to deceive our eldest lady, you go and see, I will go back and call someone, and I will definitely smash your dog training workshop!"

Xiong Tiannan stomped his feet after speaking, turned around and left, but when he went out, he walked too quickly, he was on the threshold, he stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.

After Xiong Tiannan left, Sima Rulan returned to the table, sat down on the chair, and said, "Young Master Hua doesn't have to worry, he is just stubborn, with me here, absolutely no one dares to smash the barking skytower." ”

Hua Bushi looked at Sima Rulan, but showed a surprised expression.
