Chapter 930: Chapter 586: Tears and Wine (2)

Just now.

After thinking it over for a whole day and night, she finally made up her mind to give up on Lu Lin and follow her master’s arrangement to marry into the royal family.

But just as she deleted Lu Lin’s Message Conch mark, she suddenly sensed something amiss outside.

Mind you, this is Yishan Bieyuan near Jingzhou Mansion, who would cause trouble at this time?

Moreover, there is a considerable presence of bodyguard spies around.

Curious, Sun Xiaorui released her Soul Power to investigate outside.

She dared not engage with Lu Lin’s Soul Power, only roughly looking over the situation of the fallen spies, and was amazed.

These people were at least Star Lord level.

If it were a face-to-face battle, Sun Xiaorui could also defeat them.

But doing so silently to take down these masters was something she couldn’t possibly achieve.

Next, Sun Xiaorui watched Lu Lin’s almost perfect performance.

The spies and bodyguards outside, the Grand Eunuch of the Palace, and Xiang Ruojun who took a sudden interest to rush from the prince’s mansion.

Even Li Xiaoci who went to check the situation was taken down by Lu Lin’s methods.

At that moment, Sun Xiaorui desperately wanted to run out of her room door, throw herself into Lu Lin’s embrace, and tell him about her experiences these days.

Only, she knew she couldn’t.

Before Lu Lin arrived, she had already planned to separate from him, it was not appropriate to seek Lu Lin now.

When Lu Lin came to her door, Sun Xiaorui resolved herself and deliberately pretended he was her master Li Xiaoci, speaking cold words.

Just to make Lu Lin sad and troubled.

However, when she saw Lu Lin just now with that look, Sun Xiaorui felt as if her heart had been torn apart.

She wanted so much to tell Lu Lin that she was deceiving him.

Those words just now were intentionally said so Lu Lin wouldn’t be sad for her.

But she couldn’t.

Sun Xiaorui’s tears fell like broken pearls, dripping down her cheeks, she bit her lip tightly, even to the point of bleeding without caring.

"Lu Lin, goodbye."

"Meeting you is the most beautiful memory of my life."

...

Lu Lin staggered all the way to outside the city gate of Jingzhou Mansion.

Some soldiers patrolling the city wall at night, seeing Lu Lin like this, were unfazed.

As long as Lu Lin wasn’t attacking the city wall, there was no problem.

At the entrance to the city gate, there was a stall specially selling tea, only now it was late at night, and the vendor had gone home, leaving behind the old, mottled, inferior tables and chairs.

Lu Lin plopped down on the ground, his eyes lifelessly scanning the surroundings.

Dark.

Gray.

Occasionally, there were the cries of demon beasts.

In the capital of the Xi Chu Empire, most threatening demon beasts had long been cleared, but some small ones weren’t noticed by the City Defense Army.

"Is this what heartache feels like?"

Lu Lin muttered to himself.

He took out the gifts previously bought for Sun Xiaorui in Jingzhou Mansion from his Storage Ring, placing them one by one on the table.

"This is a bottle of Peach Blossom Brew, a man gives this Peach Blossom Brew to the girl he likes, representing his wholehearted devotion."

"This is Nine-process Plum Blossom Cake, usually served as snacks at weddings in Xi Chu Country, given to every guest."

"This is a brush from Cangju Zhai, not sure what’s it for, but Sun Xiaorui said she likes practicing brush calligraphy."

"This is water-based pigments from Cui Zhen Shop."

"This is a White Sand and Green Jade Fruit airfreighted by cultivators from the western region of Chu State."

Lu Lin took out more than dozens of gifts from his Storage Ring.

Some were edible, some were for use.

The goal this time, for Lu Lin, was to confess to Sun Xiaorui.

But he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to say anything romantic facing Sun Xiaorui, so he thought about using these gifts to convey his feelings, hoping Sun Xiaorui would understand his intentions.

Only, he didn’t get the chance to speak, hadn’t even seen Sun Xiaorui, and it was already a failure.

Hard to bear?

Hard to bear.

Painful?

A bit.

Now, Lu Lin just wanted to forget about it, drink wine.

Only drinking could solve it.

In ancient times, Sages were all lonely, only drinkers left their names.

Wine is a good thing.

Lu Lin took out the Message Conch, thought for a moment, then put it back.

He originally wanted to invite Wang Chou to accompany him in drinking, but Wang Chou was now with his master at Refining Star Mountain, coming just for this trivial matter was not worth it.

By the way.

He still had a servant in Jingzhou Mansion, he’d just let him bring some wine and dishes.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Lu Lin’s mind, sending a message to Xiang Ruofeng who was resting in the mansion.

"Master, I’m coming right away."

Xiang Ruofeng responded and hurriedly ordered the preparation of wine and dishes.

More than a dozen chefs were called up late at night, but dared not complain, earnestly preparing the wine and dishes.

Half an hour later, thirty various flavored dishes were freshly prepared.

In addition, the good wine that Xiang Ruofeng could produce from his mansion, a hundred jars were prepared.

With a teleportation, Xiang Ruofeng vanished and appeared outside the city. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Master, the wine and dishes are ready, will you enjoy them here?"

"Yes."

"Don’t be formal."

Lu Lin waved his hand, letting Xiang Ruofeng relax, "Just place the wine and dishes up, join me for a drink."

"Certainly."

Xiang Ruofeng sat on the ground without hesitation, his luxurious clothes stained with dust, yet he did not care.

He dared not ask Lu Lin what was troubling him that required drinking.
