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

But the comfort lasted only three seconds before she suddenly pressed on Li Lan's Jianjing acupoint, causing Li Lan to feel an intense pain. He asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hmph! You, surnamed Li, dare to bargain with me? Hmph, I'll show you what's what. Tell me, how do you want to split it?"

Li Lan instinctively wanted to use his inner energy to push her hand away, but he held back and instead laughed, saying, "Comfortable, really comfortable! Keep going, keep going! You're so weak, didn't you eat?"

Lin Ruobing was furious. She had originally wanted to use "violent threats," but Li Lan was not afraid at all.

She didn't dare to really do anything to Li Lan. If she pushed him too far, he would tell Lin Zheng, and that would be the end of it.

"In the end what you want?"

She gritted her teeth.

"How about this, you call me brother-in-law, and I'll split it with you 30/70, how about that?"

Li Lan smiled leisurely.

Lin Ruobing was furious: "You don't deserve it!"

Li Lan: "Sixty-four points."

Lin Ruobing replied decisively, "Brother-in-law."

Li Lan: “…”

Is this the legendary saying that money can make the devil turn the millstone?

He smiled, then counted out another eight thousand taels and gave them to Lin Ruobing, saying, "Buy three catties, and leave the remaining six thousand taels in the cloth shop's account for future business operations."

After thinking for a moment, he gave Lin Ruobing an extra thousand taels, saying, "Give it to her too. It's always good to have some money on you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruobing was stunned and exclaimed, "You... how did you know?!"

Li Lan smiled and said, "You have everything you need in the Lin family, so why are you in such a hurry to buy these things? If not for your sister, then for someone else?"

"Let her focus on her cultivation. If she needs money in the future, just let me know."

Li Lan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

He had his own reasons for helping Lin Ruoxue.

These past few days, he's been running around outside, and what he's seen... has indeed worried him.

That Emperor Xianxian was practically insane in his pursuit of immortality, and the court officials were like wild beasts, indulging in extravagance and exploiting the people...

War is about to break out across the land, dynasties are about to collapse, and countless soldiers will fight and kill each other.

He is now bound to the Lin family, sharing weal and woe.

If Lin Ruobing could truly become a so-called martial arts master, it would certainly be a good thing in a chaotic world.

Moreover, Li Lan had another thought: although General Lin Zheng had a lot of martial arts materials, it was far from enough compared to major sects like Zixia Academy.

Even at the top-tier or grandmaster level, Li Lan still needs other higher-grade martial arts techniques as support.

Lin Ruoxue definitely possesses these closely guarded secrets.

Giving her these resources is an investment.

"Hmph, don't think that giving my sister money will make her fall for you! You're such a loser in martial arts, there's no way my sister would ever be interested in you..."

As Lin Ruobing spoke, she suddenly realized that she might have said something hurtful, so she stopped and said, "But don't be too sad. You are quite talented and smart. Even if my sister divorces you in the future, she will make sure you live a life of wealth and honor, and find you a beautiful wife to live with you."

Li Lan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

Lin Ruobing left.

Li Lan closed his eyes, and the panel appeared before him:

521!

This is the spiritual wealth he gained from drinking a pound of Dragon Tiger Wine last night—an unprecedented richness!

He looked at the True Dragon Manual, then shook his head. He had poured his spiritual energy into this technique, but he couldn't see any benefits for the time being!

With a thought, he channeled his energy into the Xuan Yang Gong!

The internal energy circulated throughout the body, undergoing countless cycles. In an instant, it was as if countless years of hard work had passed, through the changing seasons, breaking through one barrier after another. Finally, the wisp of internal energy became powerful, settling into the dantian like a cloud...
