Chapter 220 The Legend of the Bronze Mirror Jade Pendan (1/2)

After listening to A Miao's words, Shen Xinglan was silent for a long time. Then, as A Miao almost fell asleep, she heard him say something.
”Anyway, let's leave here first.”
”I don't know if Yu Sihan will let us go, but I'm sure he won't kill us.” A Miao yawned. ”I think... he wants us to go with him to find the treasure.”
Shen Xinglan kissed the corner of her eye. ”What about today? I saw the chessboard. We could come in safely if you won. Am I right?”
”I almost forgot about that!” A Miao suddenly felt refreshed. ”You're so smart. How did you guess that?”
”A feeling...” Shen Xinglan bit her earlobe. ”It was just a sudden feeling that you were fighting with me.”
A Miao yawned again. ”Well, fortunately, I'm still good at chess and you gave me enough time later.”
Shen Xinglan bowed his head and again kissed the corner of her eye. ”Now sleep. I'll talk to that guy tomorrow. We'd better leave early.”
No one woke them up the next day. A Miao was still sleeping when Shen Xinglan woke up. He called Lil Xi and asked him to sail to the island. Then he went next door to see Le Yi and the others.
When he returned to the room, he saw A Miao sitting up.
”Are you awake?”
”Why didn't you wake me up?” A Miao rubbed her eyes. ”What time is it?”
”It's almost noon.” Shen Xinglan opened the wardrobe, scanned the monotone white skirts, frowned, and handed her one.
A Miao took it and put it on. ”Song Baohua usually wakes me up.”
”It seems that Yu Sihan didn't let her call you today.” Shen Xinglan curled the corners of his mouth.
It seemed that Yu Sihan was being very considerate, thinking that they had a hard day yesterday, so he let everyone sleep well. It was clear in Shen Xinglan's mind that this youth who was only 12 years old was not an ordinary youth at all.
His mind and behavior were totally beyond the typical standard of a 12-year-old boy.
”Shen, are you ready?” Le Yi arrived knocking at the door.
Seeing A Miao had combed her hair, Shen Xinglan opened the door and said, ”Let's go.”
”A Miao!” Le Yi joked to her, ”Well, it's good not to be haggard or thin like a bamboo pole!”
Ouyang Jin also waved to her.
A Miao smiled at him. Although she had some dissatisfaction with Ouyang Jin because of the matter with He Shishi, she was touched by having such friendship that he would risk his life to save her.
Then she asked Le Yi, ”Hey, why are you here? Ling Lang is about to deliver a child. You should stay with her.”
Le Yi smiled and said, ”Right, so we have to go back as soon as possible!”
When the four people went downstairs, they saw Ding V coming in from the outside.
”Where did you go?” Le Yi asked him.
Ding V thought for a moment, then said, ”I went to see the surroundings.” Then he lowered his voice mysteriously. ”Mengmeng had me go. She asked me to see if there was anything strange.”
”Did Wei Meng also come?” A Miao also asked in a low voice.
Shen Xinglan looked at the two people with some amusement. Everything on the island was under the eyes of Yu Sihan.
”Yes, she is on board with Lil Xi.”
The man who was previously identified as a housekeeper by A Miao came over and said, ”Please follow me, everybody. Our Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
They followed him to the shade outside. At the other end of the long wooden dining table, Yu Sihan was lazily leaning on a high-backed chair. Seeing them coming, he sat a little upright.
”I thought I would wait for you to have dinner. Sit down please!”
He looked like an innocent youth.
”Sit down.” Shen Xinglan nodded to them.
As soon as they took their seats, the maids started serving dishes. Each dish was exquisite and beautiful and seemed to have been taken right out of the pot.
”First of all, welcome to my island!” Yu Sihan raised his wineglass. ”Although it's not as big as your island, the environment and facilities here are quite good!”
Shen Xinglan raised his cup and shook it. ”Yesterday, we experienced this. It is really good.”
”Haha!” Yu Sihan looked at Shen Xinglan with his head tilted. ”The man that Miss A Miao likes is excellent. But she said that I am more handsome than you!”
A Miao glanced at Shen Xinglan, who nodded slightly and looked at Yu Sihan. ”I think so too. As a child, I did not look as handsome as you. But I'm a man now. Let's compare again when you grow up to be a man.”
”Hmph!” Yu Sihan bowed his head proudly and ate a roasted lamb chop that was scorched on the outside and tender inside.
Shen Xinglan also helped A Miao cut the meat well and took some fruit for her.
As for Le Yi and Ouyang Jin, they also bowed their heads and dined after making sure that they could have a meal when they stopped quarrelling.
As for Ding V...
He kept eating.
Half an hour later, Yu Sihan wiped his mouth and said, ”Everyone seems to be full!” The maids came up, then removed the dishes and served the strong milky tea, coffee, juice, and several plates of delicate fruit.
”Yu... Mr. Yu,” Le Yi said, ”would you mind me addressing you like this?”
