C345 (2/2)
Seeing that the Phoenix Diagram had been angered away again, Zhu Lan couldn't help but give Yun Ruoleng a big thumbs up.
Yun Ruoleng was upset that he did not get the skill he wanted, and just happened to see Zhu Lan's hand gesture. He rolled his eyes at her in annoyance and got up to return to his room.
”Miss, do you want to speak to the Emperor again?” Zhu Lan hurriedly chased after her. Knowing that she was hesitating, he asked her.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ruoleng turned around and closed the door. Zhu Lan, who had caught up to him, almost had his head held tightly by the door. Zhu Lan, who was standing at the door, awkwardly coughed: ”Miss?”
”I want to cultivate, don't disturb me!” Yun Ruoleng's cold voice came out of the room, causing Zhu Lan to shrug her shoulders helplessly. In order for Yun Ruoleng to arrive whenever she was called, she didn't go too far, she returned to her room and took out a basket for embroidery.
As the sky gradually darkened, Yun Ruoleng's room was closed for the entire day. When Zhu Lan saw the weather, he could not help but frown, put down his work, and walked to Yun Ruoleng's door to knock: ”Miss, it's already late, do you need a bath?”
”Come in!”
Zhu Lan pushed the door open, the pitch black room suddenly lit up, and the candlestick in front of the bed lit up in an instant. Zhu Lan was shocked, and realised who the mastermind was.
”You don't have to be surprised by the fact that a magic power is transformed into a real Magus!”
Yun Ruoleng withdrew his extended arm, got up from the bed, and casually straightened his clothes. Today, no one would even mention who the black-robed man was. It seemed like he would still have to go out tonight.
After Zhu Lan helped Yun Ruoleng pack properly, he did not go out. This made Yun Ruoleng surprised and he could not help but look at her doubtfully: ”Are you not going out?”
”This servant doesn't dare to be careless anymore.” Zhu Lan did not forget the emperor's reminder after she returned. If he lost her again, she would not be able to live.
Yun Ruoleng was not happy. This Phoenix Diagram was clearly letting Zhu Lan monitor him! Besides, last night's incident had just passed, who would come looking for trouble at this time? This was the safest time. There was no need to stand guard!
”I did it for your own good. If I were to act like last time, I'm afraid I would go crazy.” Zhu Lan had seen Huang Tu's anxious look last night, when had a woman ever made him so nervous!
Yun Ruoleng pointed at the door with a head full of black lines. ”I promise, the next time I go out, I'll definitely call all of you. But if someone else sleeps in the same room as me, I won't be able to sleep!”
Zhu Lan opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Yun Ruoleng's cold gaze. Helpless, Zhu Lan really did not dare to stay there, he could only nod his head and leave. Yun Ruoleng heaved a sigh of relief. Huang Tu was acting as if he was protecting him, but someone with a discerning eye was able to see through his intentions. Yun Ruoleng would definitely not place his spy by his side!
After Zhu Lan went out, he extinguished a few lamps at the corridor, leaving behind only a single lamp to illuminate it. The number of dark guards in the shadows increased by a large amount, Zhu Lan thought that this heavily guarded Phoenix's Warm Pavilion would no longer be in the same situation as the last time.
Defensive bandits could only defend against thieves that came their way. How could someone like Yun Ruoleng, who possessed the ability of teleportation, be able to catch one? In the dead of night, Yun Ruoleng was not asleep yet. A pair of phoenix eyes that carried a golden light slowly opened, quietly feeling the vegetation outside the door. When he realized that the hidden guards were also dozing off, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he disappeared in a flash.
