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

"I don't know martial arts,"

He then reached out his hand to her.

Lin Ruobing placed her slender fingers on Li Lan's pulse and was immediately startled, because Li Lan's pulse was that of an ordinary person, without any trace of the strength of a martial artist.

"how come!"

She was even more confused.

"My ancestors had a connection to the immortals. I just relied on that connection to unleash some extraordinary power. It has nothing to do with myself."

Li Lan smiled and casually covered it up.

Lin Ruobing's promise was only the first layer of insurance; using this so-called "fate of immortality" as an explanation for his martial arts skills was the second layer of cover-up.

Lin Ruobing suddenly realized that Li Lan, who could read pulses, was definitely not a martial artist. Therefore, the only possibility for him to help her on the Mountain of Seeking the Dao was that he relied on external objects.

Thinking about this, she felt a pang of regret for some reason.

"Oh, right, my sister is coming back."

Lin Ruobing suddenly brought up the matter, then looked at Li Lan with a somewhat expectant expression.

"She's coming back, and you're getting married too."

Li Lan said calmly, "This was a decision made by His Majesty in front of the entire court, and there was nothing I could do about it."

"Ah, you're just going to stand by and watch me marry that Li Yue?"

Lin Ruobing felt even more aggrieved when Li Lan guessed her thoughts: "Brother-in-law, please help me! You're his teacher, you must have a way, right..."

She grabbed Li Lan's hand and shook it, looking utterly aggrieved and pitiful. Li Lan's heart stirred, and he said, "You can't escape marriage... However, if you don't want to lose your virginity, I might be able to help you delay it. When you are strong enough in the future, you can divorce him."

"However, that depends on your performance..."

Thus, Li Lan gained another way to manipulate her.

Knowing that Lin Ruobing knew martial arts, she was already a destabilizing factor in a sense. Even though she was kind, Li Lan would not place her hopes on her character.

Only by having threats and leverage can you firmly control people's hearts!

This is the third layer of protection!

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruobing's eyes crinkled with joy as she said, "Brother-in-law, I knew you were the best!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you from now on!"

In this way, even if she gets married, it will only be a formality.

"Okay, I'll be going now, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, she turned and climbed out the window.

……

The next morning.

"Hmm? Today's breakfast is different?"

Li Lan looked at the soup that Yue Ran brought over, somewhat puzzled.

Yue Ran blushed slightly and said, "Young Master, this is tonic. You were too tired last night, so drink more."

Ever since Li Lan was attacked at Zuiyue Tower, she has rarely left his side, and she pays close attention at night, clearly hearing the banging sounds coming from her son-in-law's room...

That's so embarrassing!

However, she was inexplicably happy for Li Lan. After so much effort, her son-in-law had finally won her over, and the two had consummated their marriage.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan was completely bewildered. It took him a while to realize that Yue Ran might have been eavesdropping last night.

She mistook the sound of him spanking Lin Ruobing for...

"Never mind," Li Lan said, too lazy to explain. She smiled casually and picked up her soup to drink.

"Young Master, the First Prince has arrived. The Master requests your presence!"

Tie Poshan arrived.

Li Lan immediately stood up and soon entered the main hall of the Lin residence. The handsome and refined eldest prince, Li Yue, was already discussing the engagement with Lin Zheng.

Li Yue attached great importance to the marriage alliance with the Lin family, and brought a great many gifts on this visit alone.

After all, he was practically isolated and helpless in the court. Now that the Third Prince Li Guan had become famous throughout the land, people from all sides would flock to Li Guan. There were very few people on his side, and the only heavyweight among them was his future father-in-law.

They talked for a long time.

"Students pay respects to their teachers,"

Li Yue stood up and gave Li Lan a deep bow.

Li Lan stood up, but accepted the gift with composure. This was a ceremony to formally become a disciple, and it was not considered presumptuous of Li Lan to accept it. He helped the Third Prince up and said, "Li Lan is of limited talent and learning, and I am truly uneasy about holding this position."
