Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"Nine-Turn Cotton Palm?"

Li Lan smiled and looked at Yue Ran.

"Yes, that day when Gu Changfeng and I were sparring, you, you..."

She wanted to say, "Young master, you're holding my waist," but she was too embarrassed to say it aloud.

"I'm holding you, aren't I?"

Li Lan said it directly, and Yue Ran blushed immediately, but still nodded.

"Try it, do I have the pulse of a martial artist?"

Li Lan smiled and reached out her hand.

Yue Ran hesitated for a moment, but still placed her slender fingers on Li Lan's wrist, but she immediately showed a look of disappointment.

Li Lan's pulse was just like that of an ordinary person, not at all like that of a martial artist, which was strong, powerful, and rhythmic.

In fact, this is precisely the power of the panel. Li Lan's martial arts cultivation, which he obtained by infusing spiritual energy, can be directly hidden, making it very difficult for others to detect!

The reason why Wei Lilan hid was because maintaining a reputation as a "good-for-nothing" was very beneficial to him.

Because when someone is looked down upon, they have often already gained some kind of advantage!

Especially now that the Lin family is in grave danger, it is the best strategy to keep others from knowing our true strength.

"Come on, take me to the armory!"

Li Lan took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist and stood up.

Yue Ran's delicate body trembled slightly, but thinking of her son-in-law's weakness after his illness, she dared not dodge. She could only let him hold her and support her, saying, "Young master, what are you doing at the armory?"

"The Nine-Turn Cotton Palm is a martial art suitable for a little genius like you. I can't learn it. I'll go find something simpler to practice!"

Yue Ran said, "Young Master, there are no simple martial arts techniques in the General's armory! You should focus on reviewing your studies and not waste time. From now on, Yue Ran will protect you and won't leave you again. You don't need to worry about being ambushed anymore..."

Seeing how serious she was, Li Lan couldn't help but gently pinch her nose and said, "Even if you can't master it, it'll still be good for your health. Otherwise, when I go to a brothel, my legs will be weak and I'll be ridiculed by the courtesans for being useless. How embarrassing, haha..."

"Young master, you're talking nonsense again."

Yue Ran wasn't angry because she knew that Li Lan wasn't a lecherous person at all, and that he remained chaste even in the brothel.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Lan; he was so devoted, yet her mistress didn't like him at all...

"Young master, let me help you over there."

She supported Li Lan, and Li Lan's right hand naturally came into her arms. Feeling the girl's heartbeat and special tenderness, Li Lan felt a surge of tenderness.

……

Before long, they arrived at the Lin family's armory.

The two pushed the door open and entered as if no one was guarding them.

But Li Lan knew that it was because Lin Zheng had given permission; otherwise, anyone else who tried to approach would have been killed by the guards in secret.

"Two first-class?"

Since entering the Transcendent Realm, Li Lan's senses have far surpassed those of ordinary people. He heard two faint breathing sounds, which must be those of first-class martial artists!

The Lin residence was indeed more heavily guarded than Li Lan had imagined.

The Lin family's armory wasn't large; it consisted of three interconnected rooms. The first room was filled with all sorts of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, and even rare and unusual weapons like judge's pens and silver needles—all of them top-grade!

The second room contains martial arts manuals from various schools and sects collected by Lin Zheng.

The third room, however, had a locked iron door that could not be opened, and its contents remained a mystery.

Li Lan browsed through the first room, then entered the second room to begin selecting martial arts techniques.

"The Mighty Vajra Palm," a top-tier martial art, characterized by its powerful and fierce palm techniques...

"Orchid Finger Technique," a top-tier martial art, characterized by its swift and agile finger techniques...

"Xuan Yang Gong" is a first-rate internal cultivation method, and is an incomplete version of "Tai Chi Xuan Yang Gong"...

……

Those who can enter Lin Zheng's Armory are basically all top-tier!

The top-tier ones are extremely rare, with only two available: one is "Blood Fiend Technique," which is cultivated with killing intent, and the other is "Eight-Armed Mountain Technique," which focuses on physical training.

"Young master, you only need to pick one book. How long will it take to read this many?"

When Yue Ran saw Li Lan sit down and flip through one book after another, she couldn't help but laugh. In the art of martial arts, one must specialize in one area, but judging from Li Lan's posture, he seemed to want to learn everything.
