After returning to Hu Yang Academy, Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong both left on their own terms. He had just stepped into his own courtyard when he immediately heard the disturbing voice of Liu Ru Er.
"As a landlord, you really failed. You didn't even prepare food for us!" he saw.
Ling Han could not help but have a strange expression appear on his face as he asked, "Don't tell me the two of you don't know how to cook?"
Instantly, Liu Ru Er's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she said, "How do you know?"
"I can easily tell from your incompetent looks," Ling Han sighed. This pair of murderous brothers had completely failed. They failed in murder and didn't even know how to cook. They are really beginners of all beginners.
"Heng, who do you call incompetent !?" Liu Ru Er asked with a defiant expression. "When I have recovered all my abilities, I will definitely give you a hard blow!"
Ling Han could not help but laugh, and said, "Then why do I still continue to take care of two enemies like the two of you! Ai, I was short of money recently, and if I take advantage of the opportunity to provide information about the two criminals, I should be able to earn quite a lot of money. "
Liu Ru Er immediately paled and gasped in fear. "You're just freaking me out!"
"Am I?" Ling Han crossed one foot over the other, an unfathomable expression on his face.
Liu Ru Er was worried. He had always lived under the protection of his older sister and never had to worry about the bad intentions of others. Now that he was facing Ling Han who was in his own second life, he was naturally easy to play with by him.
"Come on, sing me a little song. If you sing well enough, then I will let you go," Ling Han said, smiling.
Liu Ru Er finally understood that Ling Han was just trying to scare her and could not help patting her when she said, "You are so evil!" But, he immediately raised his head and added, "Alright, then I will sing a song. But don't think I'm afraid of you. It's been too long since I last sang, and I feel a itch in my throat! "
He opened his mouth and started singing. The song he sings is mellow, and will easily touch the hearts of listeners.
Ling Han nodded internally. This little girl was a little chatty, but she was indeed a quite talented singer. It looks like he got into the wrong business.
"Which! Noisy!" Hu Niu was awakened by the song and looked at Liu Ru Er with a displeased feeling, his savage nature completely exposed.
Liu Ru Er was not too pleased with her criticism and said, "I have a very beautiful voice, and you actually said it was noisy! There is not a hint of elegance in you!"
"Yin!" Hu Niu glared at him.
The two girls glared at each other, no one was willing to retreat. From the looks of it, they were preparing to glare at each other until the end of time.
Ling Han yawned, stood up and walked to his room, intending to go to sleep.
Xiu, Hu Niu immediately made a huge leap and stuck to Ling Han. Then, he turned around and made a silly face at Liu Ru Er.
Failure like that. He can't even handle a kid.
Liu Ru Er clutched her hair in frustration. As an assassin, he could not even win in the staring competition with a little girl. Is he really fit to be an assassin?
***
When he woke up, there was a pale white color in the eastern sky. Ling Han sat down in a cross-legged position and started cultivating.
He deliberately woke up earlier now to cultivate at a different time than Hu Niu. This way, he did not need to run anywhere to cultivate elsewhere.
'Not bad . I will be able to break through to the eighth layer of the Element Gathering Tier in three days. 'Ling Han smiled. What he wanted the most right now was to break through to the Gushing Spring Tier and peek at the secret of the Black Tower.
Now, the sun had risen and Ling Han woke Hu Niu. Although the little girl looked very reluctant, she still obeyed Ling Han's request and started cultivating. Hu Niu has frightening potential — who knows, his future achievements may not be a bit below him.
Ling Han prepared breakfast. He's very depressed about this. It was fine when he had Hu Niu stay with him, but now there were two bigger girls living with him, it was still up to him to cook. This is so unfair.
Tongs, kegs, kegs. A knock was heard at the main door.
Who'sis that?
'Yes, why is this person coming?'
"Sister Jin, why are you here so early?" Ling Han asked, smiling.
Jin Wuji smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Ling, I want to ask for your help."
"With what?" Ling Han asked, not in a hurry to agree to anything.
Jin Wuji hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can Brother Ling order at the Cherishing Flower Pavilion?"
"Yes?"
Ling Han couldn't help but look at Jin Wuji strangely. Did this fellow make a deal with Lady Yan? Ling Han had just received the Cherishing Flower Order yesterday and there was already someone here today to ask for his help to make a reservation at the Cherishing Flower Pavilion.
"Sister Ling, I don't know what else to do! You know a lot of people, and I'm desperate. That's why I'm here to ask for your help without shame" Jin Wuji sighed.
Ling Han smiled, and asked, "What happened? Why do you need a table in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion?"
"If I tell you, promise me, you won't laugh at me!" Jin Wuji was actually blushing.
Ling Han put on a serious face, and said, "I promise I won't laugh."
Jin Wuji gathered his thoughts for a moment, then started talking. Apparently, he met a princess from a small clan from the Imperial City a year ago. His name was Jiang Fei Yan, and the two of them fell in love with each other. Their relationship had even reached the point that they began discussing marriage.
However, even though the Jin Clan was a Great Clan in Da Yuan City, it was only considered a small clan in the Imperial City. Moreover, those who lived in areas under the direct jurisdiction of the Emperor all had innate arrogance and felt a sense of superiority towards others. The Jiang Clan was thus dissatisfied with a would-be son-in-law like Jin Wuji and kept trying to separate the couple.
As such, Jin Wuji kept trying to rack his brain, hoping to find a way to change the Jiang Clan's opinion of him.
The requirements to enter the Cherishing Flower Pavilion were extremely high and anyone who wanted to reserve a table in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion should at least be from a middle-class clan. Thus, demonstrating her ability by treating the important members of the Jiang Clan to eat in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion was undoubtedly a very good idea.
But the problem now was that even if he had broken through to the Gushing Spring Tier, the Cherishing Flower Pavilion would still ignore his request, let alone now that he was still only at the Element Gathering Tier.
Recently, the Jiang Clan seemed to be planning on marrying Jiang Fei Yan to the Seventh Young Master of a middle-class clan. As such, Jin Wuji really did not know what else he could do and came to try his luck with Ling Han.
After all, Ling Han had only arrived in the Imperial City for a few days and already knew a disciple of Wu Song Ling, and might even be able to become an honored guest of Grandmaster Wu. Therefore, even if Ling Han had no way to make a reservation in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion alone, he could still go through Wu Song Lin to make a reservation.
When he heard the full story, Ling Han could not help but laugh loudly as he said, "I never imagined that Brother Jin would actually become romantic."
“Brother Ling, you promise not to laugh.” Meanwhile, Jin Wuji continued to sigh, distress all over his face.
Ling Han still continued to laugh. He patted Jin Wuji on his shoulder and said, "Sister Jin, I can't order a table at Cherishing Flower Pavilion, but …"
When Jin Wuji heard his words, he looked disappointed at first. But then, he suddenly heard that meaningful pause, so his heart involuntarily began to beat wildly in excitement. "Does Brother Ling have any other means?"
"I can't order a regular table, but will the side yard be okay?" Ling Han asked, smiling.
"Po!"
Jin Wuji immediately choked.
If one wanted to reserve a table in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, then one must definitely have an upward level of Spiritual Ocean Tier cultivation, or be supported by an elite Spiritual Ocean Tier. For example, members of the main branch of a middle-class clan could make reservations. However, they still needed to make reservations in advance, as the Cherishing Flower Pavilion business was truly too good. If they had not made a reservation in advance, they would not have been able to get a table.
And in terms of side courtyards, one would at least require a Tier Pedestal Spiritual cultivation level or the support of a Tier Pedestal Tier elite to be able to make reservations for the side courtyards.
"Sister Ling, you're not kidding me, are you?" This shock was huge, making Jin Wuji stutter in his words.
