In the reception hall, the old man had always been courteous to the Ninth Princess, but the Ninth Princess was in no mood to pay him any attention.
"Xiang Ru, do you think this Whampoa Clan will lend us money? No, it's useless to ask for money now. We need weapons directly."
"It's hard to say," Xiang Nan said.
The princess sighed and said, "I'm afraid that only if I personally come forward will I have the face to discuss this matter with the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan."
"You think that I, the dignified Ninth Princess of Haotian, have fallen into the position of lowering my stature and conversing with the merchants for two boats of weapons?"
At the door, Youlan waved to Xiang Nan and said, "Young master, can I speak to you for a moment?"
"Don't go!" The Ninth Princess widened her eyes.
Xiang Nan said, "It's fine. I'll go out and talk to her."
The Ninth Princess's eyes turned red with anger, "Xiang Ru, are you going to leave me alone at this time? Do you have the heart?"
Xiang Nan gave the princess a comforting look and whispered, "This Youlan has quite a close relationship with the Whampoa Clan. Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from her. Your Highness, please rest assured, even if it's going up the Saber Mountain and down the sea of flames, Xiang Ru will accompany you and will definitely not flee."
Hearing these words, the Ninth Princess suddenly felt much more at ease. She could only reluctantly nod her head.
In the courtyard.
Youlan stood under a flower tree and smiled sweetly at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Miss Youlan has been paying close attention to me since the beginning. I wonder why?"
You Lan asked in a low voice, "May I have your name, Young Master?"
"Xiang Ru." Xiang Nan said.
"Oh, is it also surnamed Xiang?" Youlan said thoughtfully, "The little girl has seen Young Master in the street a few days ago."
"Although it was just a glance, I discovered that Young Master looks very much like a person, but I didn't see his specific appearance clearly. That's why I came here today to pay a visit."
"From the looks of it, Young Master and the person in the painting are still somewhat different."
"What painter?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
You Lan smiled and said, "Nothing much. It's just that I occasionally see a man on a friend's painting and have heard about that man's deeds. That's why I'm a little curious."
"You Lan reminds Young Master that you may have to find another way out. This Whampoa Aristocrat Clan may not be your best choice."
Xiang Nan did not say anything, only smiled politely and returned to the reception hall.
Soon, another day passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day.
The Ninth Princess was like an ant on a hot pot, impatiently waiting for the upper echelons of the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan to return.
Near noon, the Ninth Princess couldn't wait any longer. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened and a flying ship slowly docked above the manor.
Immediately after, a group of 100 strong guards descended from the sky. Each of these guards was mounted on a ferocious demonic beast mount. Moreover, their posture, standards, and formation were extremely strict. They were not inferior to the well-trained regular army.
Afterwards, two women slowly fell from the sky.
When Xiang Nan saw the two women, his heart trembled. He was both surprised and delighted. At the same time, he was very surprised.
The two women were tall and short. The tall woman's face was covered with a black veil. The short woman was still young and had delicate features. She was a little girl like a small porcelain doll.
"Haha, You Lan, you're here too." The woman with the black veil greeted You Lan first.
"This is" The masked woman then looked at Xiang Nan. The moment her eyes were fixed on Xiang Nan's, her body froze.
Perhaps Xiang Nan's appearance had changed, but she would never forget the look in the eyes of the man whose soul was holding onto her dreams.
At that moment, the circles of the masked woman's eyes suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and smiled slightly, concealing her emotions as she brushed past Xiang Nan.
While the two of them were crossing paths, Xiang Nan whispered, "Miss Ruyan, how have you been recently?"
The masked woman lowered her head and quietly pinched Xiang Nan's palm. She whispered, "Come to my room and find me tonight."
With that, she strode into the reception hall.
Xiang Nan turned his head and discovered that the cute little girl was standing beside him. She stared at her face curiously with her pair of big watery eyes.
"Ya!" The little girl suddenly cried out in surprise, "You are …"
"Shh!" Xiang Nan made a silent gesture and whispered, "Little Yu'er, I'll take you to play, okay?"
"Alright, alright." The little girl's face flushed with excitement.
Seeing this scene, a hint of suspicion flashed through Miss Youlan's eyes.
In the backyard garden, Xiang Nan dotingly rubbed the little girl's hair. "Little Yu'er, how did you recognize me? Did you miss me?"
The little girl giggled and said, "Brother Xiang Nan, why have you changed? I miss you. You don't even know how much I miss you."
"Big sister misses you more, but she won't let me tell you. She painted a portrait of you herself and stared blankly at it every day."
Xiang Nan was a little embarrassed. He sighed emotionally, "Think about it, it seems that it has been almost two years. Time has passed really quickly."
After Xiang Nan and Miss Ruyan parted ways, something happened with the Wang Clan. After that, they took part in the Martial Arts City Selection and made a two-year agreement with Wang Xiaoyun.
Now that he counted the time, it seemed that the date of the two-year agreement overlapped with the sect ranking tournament.
If you want to participate in the qualifying competition, you can't go back on time to keep your appointment.
"Little Yu'er, how is your body? Will it still be cold?" Xiang Nan grabbed Little Yu'er's hand and asked affectionately.
Little Yu'er raised her head happily, "It's not cold anymore. I ate the pills Big Brother Xiang Nan gave me. My body is getting better and better every day. I completely recovered more than a year ago."
"That's good. Come, brother, there's something delicious here. Here you go." Xiang Nan took out a large pile of desserts from his storage ring. These were all prepared for Dream butterfly at that time.
The two of them played in the back garden for a while. Xiang Nan thought that letting the princess face Miss Ruyan on her own might not be very kind. It was better for him to take a look.
"Come, let's go see your sister. Right, you must not call me Big Brother Xiang Nan, do you know?"
"Why?" Little Yu'er waited for Shui Ling's big eyes and asked curiously, "Are you and sister playing a game?"
"That's right. From now on, if you call me Big Brother Xiang Ru, otherwise I will lose." Xiang Nan smiled.
"Good, good, good. Little Yu'er will definitely keep it a secret for her brother." Little Yu'er clapped her hands happily.
Xiang Nan pulled Xiao Yu'er back to the entrance of the reception hall in the front yard. Inside, the two women were arguing fiercely about something.
The Ninth Princess said, "Miss Ruyan, I only borrowed forty thousand spirit weapons from you. I will repay you directly in gold coins when the amount of money is due in the future."
"Doing this is equivalent to you doing a big business. Is it not good for you?"
Ruyan took off her veil. She held the teacup and smiled, "Your Highness, I've said it more than once. It's not about money."
"If I lend you my weapon, it will be very disadvantageous to our future development in Tianyu City."
"What exactly are you going to do to lend me your weapon?" The Ninth Princess had no choice but to speak softly.
Seeing the Ninth Princess compromise like this, Xiang Nan couldn't bear it anymore.
Miss Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "Only a few of you know your true purpose in coming to the The Nine Firmaments Continent . Coincidentally, I also know."
"If you borrow our weapons and return to the The Haotian Empire , then you will be fine. Where should our Whampoa Clan be?"
"Unless …"
"Unless what?" The Ninth Princess hurriedly asked.
Miss Ruyan glanced at Xiang Nan outside the door and said, "Unless you stay in Jiuxiao Empire and marry the prince to support us."
