Lan Guan Zhi returned to his room. He looked at the cloth on his sleeves that had gotten a slash from Jian Yang earlier. He put the sword he was carrying on a table.
The attack that made the best quality fabric up to this was indeed no ordinary attack. Jian Yang exerted all his strength and if Lan Guan Zhi did not move quickly, he might have already lost one arm by now.
Lan Guan Zhi walked over to a shelf full of various books. If the opponent managed to touch a bit of his clothes, then it meant that there was a gap in his movement. Lan Guan Zhi felt like he had to further improve his sword technique.
"Young Master Lan, are you inside?"
Lan Guan Zhi turned his head when he heard a female voice accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door. He walked over and started to open the door of his room when he saw Zhi Shu standing up.
"Miss Shu?"
"Young Master Lan, are you okay? I immediately caught up with you for not wanting to see elder Jin and elder Murong punish his disciples."
"Mn, I'm fine. Please come in,"
Zhi Shu blinked and was a bit nervous as it was welcome to enter Lan Guan Zhi's private room. He followed the young man and was immediately greeted by the soothing aroma of sandalwood.
The look of Zhi Shu's eyes circulated and then cleared his throat slowly, he remembered having to take care of his image. Zhi Shu seemed to be trying to remain calm even though Lan Guan Zhi had been watching him since.
Lan Guan Zhi's. "Miss Shu, what's wrong?"
Zhi Shu flinched and immediately shook his head softly, "A-I only remember about the life of the Sky Sword Sect. A ha ha, it's been a long time since I studied at your place. Ja-so being here reminds me of a flash of the past,"
Zhi Shu is really awkward. He was wrong because he was alone with a Lan Guan Zhi in this room. He is also welcome to sit down and have a cup of green tea.
"Ehm .... Young Master Lan?" Zhi Shu tried to open the conversation as the atmosphere was getting thrilling for him. "What .... Young Master Lan often receives girl guests in this place?"
"Ah... Damnit. What the hell am I saying? I'm so ashamed, "Zhi Shu would love to bite his finger. "We've known her for years, but this is the first time I've sat alone with her. It's really just the two of you,"
Lan Guan Zhi replied calmly, "I often receive guests. But we always talk outside when the guests are girls."
Zhi Shu flinched, "Then why did Young Master Lan accept me in here?"
"Because it's Miss Zhi Shu. I don't mind."
!!
Zhi Shu's eyes were wide in shock. He even involuntarily opened his mouth and blinked a few times. "A-A-What did you just say?"
"Because of Miss Zhi Shu's guest. I don't mind." Lan Guan Zhi replied calmly.
"Jeez, jesus, jeez...!! What is this..?! What..!? He really is Young Master Lan, right?! Really Lan Guan Zhi my brother Xiao's best friend, right?! Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming?!"
"Miss Shu?"
"Yes God... My heart's resilience. Zhi Shu, relax... Stay cool. Ahh! I'm really happy~ Didn't expect this to happen, seriously...!"
Lan Guan Zhi blinked. This beautiful girl in front of him was very strange. He looked at Zhi Shu's entire feeling just by paying attention to her facial expression. What this girl was thinking was all clearly imprinted on the look on her face and that was .... Pretty interesting.
Lan Guan Zhi actually did not mind Zhi Shu's arrival and even let this girl into his private room. All of that was of course because Zhi Shu was the brother of his best friend. If not .... She would definitely treat Zhi Shu just like any other girl.
"Young Master Lan, I'm sorry for behaving disrespectfully...." Zhi Shu rubbed her hot cheeks, "The expression on my face must be very embarrassing. Please forgive me,"
Lan Guan Zhi muttered softly, but appeared to be smiling faintly. It was just that Zhi Shu realized this and accidentally squeezed the ceramic cup he was holding until it broke. Lan Guan Zhi to the point of jolting.
"CHUCK..!" Zhi Shu stood up and looked in shock, "Young Master Lan?! You just smiled?!"
"Miss Shu?"
"My heart..." Zhi Shu pressed down on his chest, "I really can't stand this heart-piercing explosion. Teacher, forgive your student. The resilience of Shu'Er's beautiful heart is being tested,"
"............" Lan Guan Zhi just kept silent expressionlessly and seemed to let Zhi Shu calm down again.
The pink-clothed girl with the butterfly complexion began to sit back down. Zhi Shu exhaled, "Young Master Lan. Please forgive me. Lifetime time... This is the first time I've sat with you. I really can't control my heart, sorry .... I've made you uncomfortable."
"Mn, no problem. So what caused Miss Shu to come here?"
Zhi Shu had now regained his composure, he said. "Actually .... I have long wanted to see Young Master Lan. I want to discuss something important,"
"I'm listening,"
"Young Master Lan must know. This .... The Book of Destruction. I'm the one that the teacher has entrusted to take him. I thought, I intend to collect his other pieces after the Eternal Alliance Conference is completed. But when I see the circumstances that have befallen you all this time .... I've decided to take you away from this place for a while."
Lan Guan Zhi gasped, yet there was no change to his facial expression. He was still listening to the girl in front of him talk.
Zhi Shu said, "The disciples in this place .... Most of them did not like Young Master Lan. They are obviously jealous of your abilities. Even though the Elders had reprimanded and punished them, still the sense of dislike was growing."
Zhi Shu continued, "I feel that it is best for Young Master Lan to give them time-haaah... It's actually much better for them to leave. Those delinquent students are eager to get and hang at the gate of this place. I'm really very nervous because I'd really like to blow their heads off. Haaah... Oh gosh. I'm sorry,"
Lan Guan Zhi took a sip of his tea and started to make a sound, "What .... The disciples of the Butterfly Sect had the attitude of Miss Shu?"
"Mn? If it's about justice, of course. Me and my brothers always couldn't help themselves with justice."
"No. I mean you wanted to blow their heads off. Is that true or is it just a bluff?"
"They won't change if they use the bluffing method alone," Zhi Shu innocently replied. "In addition to making their heads explode much better, I just don't want to skin them alive because it'll dirty my hands."
".........." Lan Guan Zhi was silent and only watched the face of the beautiful girl in front of him intently. See how Zhi Shu's attitude is .... He felt that the behavior of the Butterfly Sect disciples had not changed.
"So Young Master Lan? What do you think? Do you want to come with me..?" Zhi Shu was actually hoping that Lan Guan Zhi would come with him, but he also did not want to make this young man feel uncomfortable.
Zhi Shu said, "Take this... You can think about it well. We can go home before the Eternal Conference is held. Because if I wanted to take you for a walk... It feels like it will be in vain. So it's better to go on a mission,"
"Miss Shu doesn't want a private walk with me?"
!!
Zhi Shu was surprised, but immediately responded. "What can I do?! But private streets mean 'Dating'. I am not talented in dating matters even though I fell for Young Master Lan."
Zhi Shu really expressed her feelings, but was still self-conscious. He exhaled and now pouted, "I'd really like to go out with you. But if I do, I will feel bad for my brother Xiao. It feels like .... I'll take my brother's soul mate."
"Please don't talk that way," Lan Guan Zhi picked up a new ceramic cup for Zhi Shu. He poured tea on the girl in front of him.
Lan Guan Zhi asked, "Where would Miss Shu go if she wanted to get out of this place?"
"Yin Jiin. That island is close to the Thousand Sword Palace, so it doesn't take long to get there and we can get back here in time."
Lan Guan Zhi nodded slowly, he knew the island. "I'll talk to uncle first,"
"certain. I can help you to persuade Shizun. He won't be able to refuse the request of a beautiful girl," Zhi Shu stroked her long hair softly and smiled confidently.
"All right, thank you."
Zhi Shu smiled shyly, "This is the first time I have spoken without Young Master Lan answering with a brief mutter. Honestly, I'm very happy. If you need anything, Young Master Lan need not hesitate to ask me. I am also a person recognized by Brother Xiao. I have studied in the Sky Sword Sect, so it can be said that we are Brothers Seperguruan. So don't hesitate to ask for help from me."
"Miss Shu is a good girl. Thank you,"
"Ti-no need to thank me. That will reinforce the distance between me and Young Master Lan. Fellow brothers, there can be no distance."
"If so, Miss Shu also need not apologize. It's just like increasing the distance between us, too,"
"Be good." Zhi Shu had no idea that he would actually talk to Lan Guan Zhi. I don't know what dream he had last night to be able to chat with the figure of the Pride of the Sky Sword Sect and this very admired young man.
Lan Guan Zhi was actually quite comfortable talking to the disciples of the Butterfly Sect, especially to the eight brothers of Xiao Shuxiang. Zhi Shu is one of them.
This beautiful girl was actually one year older than Lan Guan Zhi, but either because of his best friend's personal brother-in-law or the influence of Xiao Shuxiang-sometimes adult Butterfly Sect disciples often acted childishly.
It was actually an interesting thing since most cultivators always kept their authority. Unlike Zhi Shu's free and free-acting siblings. They are a fun and fun kind of friend to talk to.
