Chapter 119 Lanyan’s Trouble
Chapter 119 Lanyan’s Trouble
Seeing Du Shinian being taken away, curious students rushed towards Xie Lan.
"Hey, how did you know that Du Shinian would be imprisoned? Did you already know that he killed the top courtesan of Lichun Garden?"
Xie Lan smiled and said, "Of course I calculated it."
Someone looked surprised and said, "Ah, you calculated it? How did you calculate it?"
Xie Lan raised his hand lazily and pointed the feather fan in his hand at the hexagram flag standing beside him.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw the words written on the hexagram banner, "Xie Banxian made an accurate prediction."
The student suddenly realized something, "So you figured it out through fortune-telling? It seems like you, a Taoist nun, really have some skills."
"Fairy, was the top courtesan of Lichun Court really killed by Du Sinian? Will he die? Will he be sentenced to death or exiled?"
Xie Lan smiled but said nothing. Du Sinian would indeed die, but he was not sentenced to death. Now that he had lost his protective jade pendant, he would be like his guards, and the ghosts they killed would come to claim his life.
Some people don't believe it, "It's calculated by fortune-telling? Is it really that mysterious?"
Seeing that he was surrounded, Xie Lan was not angry. Instead, he listened to everyone's chatter with a smile.
I secretly praised myself for being smart. Look, I really chose the right academy. It became famous very quickly.
"Fairy, Fairy, could you please tell my fortune for me?" Seeing that Xie Lan was so powerful, her prediction that Du Shinian would bleed and be imprisoned came true.
Some clever students couldn't wait to come forward, wanting Xie Lan to help them tell their fortunes and see if they could pass the imperial examination.
Xie Lan smiled and shook his head, "No hurry, you can tell the fortune anytime. But if you don't hurry up and go to school, your teacher will come and chase you away."
The students were shocked. They were so engrossed in eating Du Shinian's melon that they forgot they were here for school.
Seeing the teacher walking towards them with a dark face, everyone had no choice but to say goodbye to Xie Lan with regret and walked towards the entrance of Baihe Academy.
At this moment, a lady suddenly exclaimed, "Look, is that Young Master Xiao?"
Xie Lan raised her eyebrows. Young Master Xiao? Is he the one she knew?
I turned my head and looked towards the sound, and it was true.
Tsk, what a coincidence, not only did Young Master Xiao come to the White Crane Academy, but he was also surrounded by a bunch of ladies. Judging from their attire, those girls were all students of the White Crane Academy.
Xie Lan was originally preparing to close her stall and go home, but seeing such an attractive scene, she simply took out some melon seeds and cracked them while watching the show.
I don’t know what Mr. Xiao said, but it made those ladies even more obsessed with him. They all wanted to keep their eyes on him.
Xie Lan felt that if it wasn’t in public and in front of so many people, those ladies would probably throw themselves into his arms.
Especially the girl in the lead, who was so close that it made people feel that she would fall into Master Xiao's arms in the next second.
It was such a coincidence that just as Xie Lan had this thought, he heard the girl's delicate exclamation. Then she stumbled and her frail body leaped forward.
Seeing that the young lady was about to throw herself into Mr. Xiao's arms, the girl standing on the left also fell over not to be outdone.
Xie Lan's eyes suddenly widened.
Tsk tsk, this Young Master Xiao is really a male beauty who brings disaster. In public, there are girls fighting for him in front of everyone.
Just when Xie Lan thought that Mr. Xiao would be surrounded by girls, he suddenly disappeared from sight.
On the contrary, the two young ladies tried to throw themselves into his arms but failed and almost fell flat on their faces.
Xie Lan blinked. Where is Mr. Xiao?
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a cold snort from behind, "Does Fairy Xie love to watch the fun so much?"
Xie Lan froze while eating melon seeds, turned around, and nodded with a smile, "Who wouldn't like to watch such a wonderful show?"
Xiao Jin's heart was choked, and his eyes wandered to a pile of melon seed shells on the ground. He suddenly said, "Since we want to watch the show, we have to buy tickets."
What ticket to buy?
Xie Lan was puzzled when she suddenly saw Xiao Jin bending down and picking up the silver bills from her fortune-telling stall.
Xie Lan's eyes widened. The banknote was the money Zhao Lin had given her for divination. This Mr. Xiao was indeed a businessman, and he would not take any loss. She just happened to watch his fun, but he actually asked her to pay for the tickets for the show.
That was a full ten taels, and Xie Lan suddenly felt that the melon seeds in his hand were no longer fragrant.
Seeing her so angry, Xiao Jin felt in a good mood.
Just as Xie Lan was about to snatch the banknote back, she discovered that the group of ladies who had surrounded Xiao Jin were walking towards her with unfriendly faces.
The two ladies who had just failed in their attempt to throw themselves into his arms spoke at the same time.
"Brother Xiao, do you know this Taoist nun?"
"Mr. Xiao, who is this Taoist nun?"
Facing Xiao Jin, the two girls spoke softly and tenderly, but their gazes towards Xie Lan were full of malice.
Xie Lan, who was unhappy about being robbed of his money, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't know him."
While Xie Lan denied it, Xiao Jin also said expressionlessly, "I don't know him."
I saw him put the banknote in his hand into his sleeve pocket, then turned around and walked into Baihe Academy.
Xie Lan gritted his teeth and almost couldn't help throwing the melon seed shell in his hand at his back.
The young lady who had pretended to sprain her ankle and throw herself into his arms glared at Xie Lan with a bad look on her face, "Where did you come from, Taoist nun? Get out of here right now.
Some people are not the ones you should covet. Know your own identity, or don't blame me for destroying your business."
Xie Lan almost laughed out of anger. If that girl hadn't seen other ladies following Xiao Jin and was afraid that they would win Xiao Jin's favor, so she followed them, she would definitely ask her if she was blind.
After all the students who came to the academy had left, Xie Yu walked up to Xie Lan with a haughty look on his face.
"Sister, what the girl just said is right. There are some things that you can't just dream of. Even if you get them, they are not meant for you, and you don't have the luck to keep them."
Xie Lan stood up and nodded, "Since you know it's not yours, all your calculations will be in vain, so why don't you get out of here quickly.
Considering that your second branch has lost ten thousand taels of gold, I advise you to cherish this opportunity and take a closer look at the academy before you are fired by the teacher.
Otherwise, after today, there will be no chance.
Xie Yu's face changed, "What do you mean?"
"You don't even understand this. With your brain, you still want to come in front of me to show off your presence. You are so stupid."
Xie Yu had always been favored at home and had never been insulted like this. She was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to slap Xie Lan in the face.
Tiechui's hand stretched and twisted, and Xie Yu's face twisted in pain.
"For the sake of our sisterhood, I'm telling you a fortune. You will encounter an unexpected disaster today. If you scheme, not only will you not get what you want, but you will also lose everything - both ends are in vain."
Xie Yu's face turned pale and he was in a state of shock and confusion.
Xie Lan didn't even look at her again. He told Tiechui to pack up the fortune-telling stall and left the academy.
In order to come to the academy for fortune-telling, Xie Lan got up early in the morning and began to feel sleepy as soon as he got on the carriage.
After drinking half a glass of water to moisten his throat, Xie Lan lay down in the car and began to catch up on his sleep.
She was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by Tiechui, "Miss, it seems that there is a fire in Xie's house."
Xie Lan stood up, reached out to open the car curtain, and looked at the fire rising into the sky in the distance, his face darkening.
It's the end of the month again, do you have votes? If not, I'll ask you later.
