Chapter 339: Chapter 339= My Name is Wang Jin_l

“Self-taught,” Wei Jinyi replied.

“Can one really learn so well through self-study?” Chu Lan asked.

“I was blessed with exceptional talent from a young age,” Wei Jinyi answered.

Upon hearing this, Chu Lan turned to Wei Ruo and asked, “Miss Wei, I am intrigued by your Guard. Would you allow him to spar with me?”

-My Lord, I fear that if my Guard unintentionally injures you, I wouldn’t know how to handle such a situation,” Wei Ruo responded.

“As the challenge was proposed by me, if I get injured, I will not hold anyone

accountable.”

“Absolutely not, my Lord. You hold many responsibilities, and any injury would have far-reaching consequences which the Wei Residence cannot bear,” Wei

Ruo said.

-Miss Wei makes a fair point. How about this, my Guard shall spar with yours.

That way, there’s no need for worries,” Chu Lan decided.

With Chu Lan insisting, Wei Ruo could not refuse. She turned to look at Wei

Jinyi.

Wei Jinyi nodded to Wei Ruo, indicating he could handle the situation.

After receiving Wei Jinyi’s response, Wei Ruo agreed to Chu Lan’s proposal, “Then I must comply. However, let’s wait until we reach a safer location to spar, the terrain here is too complex and dangerous to maneuver.”

“Okay,” Chu Lan agreed.

Then, the group continued to inspect the area along the river.

When they returned to the clearing an hour later, Chu Lan asked, “Miss Wei, may I have the pleasure to taste your snake soup?”

Wei Ruo originally planned to bring the snake back to the Wei Family and eat it herself with Wei Jinyi, but Chu Lan shamelessly asked for a taste.

■Tm afraid not, my Lord. The snake is poisonous. If not prepared correctly, the soup could be harmful,” Wei Ruo explained.

“I trust in Miss Wei’s culinary skills. If Miss Wei still has concerns, I can have my men taste it first to ensure it’s safe,” Chu Lan said.

Chu Lan left Wei Ruo with no room for refusal.

“Then I have no choice but to comply.”

Wei Ruo reluctantly agreed.

Thereafter, they headed towards a nearby campsite where the peasants rested. As it was working hours, farmers and refugees were all out in the fields, leaving the campsite deserted.

Chu Lan planned to have the meal there and the Government Officials guarding the area promptly cleaned a small house for them.

Although it was relatively clean, it was very basic. The cooking area was an open space just outside the door.

A temporarily built stove, a large iron pot, and the only seasoning available was a bit of salt.

Wei Ruo asked Xiaobei to prepare the ingredients and start a fire, while instructing Maid Xiumei to go back to her carriage to get some spices and seasonings. If they only had salt, the snake soup would not taste good.

Meanwhile, Chu Lan had his Guard spar with Wei Jinyi.

The two began to exchange moves on a nearby open space. Only ten moves in,

Wei Jinyi defeated Chu Lan’s subordinate.
