Goodbye Ruilin
Chapter 1331 Goodbye Ruilin
Young Master Ruilin's mansion was more ordinary than Lin Fan had imagined.
Located not far from a quiet avenue, the house's exterior walls are made of ordinary flat blue bricks, and ivy is climbing on the walls on both sides of the gate.
At first glance, it looked identical to the neighboring houses, with none of the aristocratic nobility it possessed. It was only upon entering the courtyard that a hidden secret was discovered.
The courtyard is exceptionally spacious, with three entrances arranged in a comfortable and relaxed manner. The footpath is paved with large blue bricks, all fired in the same batch, judging by their color.
The stone slabs are smooth, with almost invisible seams. Even the edges and corners are clean, a testament to the meticulous care taken in maintaining them, despite being something you step on.
On both sides of the front yard, there is a century-old tree, which grows symmetrically like a mirror, and its canopy-like branches cast a large area of shade in the yard.
Going along the corridor with brown-red lacquer columns, you can see the plain silk palace lanterns with twined branch patterns hanging under the corridor at a distance.
The veranda tilts to one side when looking at the front hall, leaving a medium-sized pond.
There are no intricate carvings on the stone fence beside the pond, only tiny cloud patterns carved at each corner.
The doors and windows of the main hall are all made of high-quality wood with smooth grain, and the window screens are made of fine, dark-grained silk with a fine warp and weft pattern...
At first glance, the owner seems wealthy, and the details reveal an extraordinary and noble atmosphere.
Mo Yin knew that Lin Fan didn't like people to get close to him, so after serving tea, he took the servants and left, and quickly went to invite Rui Lin.
Antonio finally had time to ask, "I thought you only practiced cultivation every day, but you actually made such a wealthy worldly friend."
He had traveled for several months in Country H and had seen several gardens. Even though he couldn't describe the specific details, he could still subconsciously feel that this courtyard was extraordinary.
Lin Fan was immune.
I grew up in an area full of gardens, and had many opportunities to travel as I grew up. I have seen countless palaces and landscape gardens of all sizes, and I have always been a little numb to the aesthetic taste in this area.
In addition, I have been in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time and have seen many different peaks and towers.
The courtyard was nice, but not enough to impress her. She glanced at the teacup beside her, which gradually emitted the aroma of tea, and briefly told Antonio about her encounter with Ruilin.
"So, we're not really friends then." Antonio sat down below Lin Fan, crossed his legs, and laughed. "With the secular world's attitude towards the immortal cultivation world like that now, he still dares to invite you back... Tsk..."
Before Antonio could say anything else, he heard hurried footsteps.
After a while, the guy who he believed was "being too nice for no reason and was either a traitor or a thief" appeared at the door.
He was indeed a graceful and elegant gentleman. Even in his haste, his description was impeccable—his steps were quick, but not hurried. Even the strands of hair that fell from his temples, lifted by the wind, carried a sense of unhurried elegance.
What a pretentious guy! Antonio cursed inwardly, glanced at Lin Fan, and stood up with her.
Ruilin stepped over the threshold holding up the hem of her dress embroidered with cloud patterns, crossed her arms and walked towards Lin Fan with a smile, her eyes filled with joy of reunion after a long separation.
"Miss Lin." He stopped two steps in front of Lin Fan, his tone just the right amount of warmth, yet not too familiar. "We parted so quickly last time, and then I got caught up in a lot of trivial matters. I thought we wouldn't have the chance to meet again for a while, but I didn't expect this opportunity to happen today."
"No wonder I heard magpies chirping non-stop this morning. I thought it was some good news, but it turns out it was the young lady who graced me with her presence. This really makes my courtyard feel more elegant and glorious..."
Antonio really admired these people who could speak eloquently and eloquently, and he really couldn't compare to them.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ruilin turned to him, smiling even more: "Who is this?"
"Hello, hello!" Antonio grabbed Ruilin's right hand, which was folded across his chest, and shook it up and down. "I'm Antonio from the Youye Sect. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
Isn't he just pretending? He refuses to cooperate. Let's see how long he can pretend.
Rui Lin tensed the moment Antonio touched him, then immediately reacted, giving Mo Yin a look to signal the guards not to move. Having just done this, hearing Antonio's blunt self-introduction, the corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, then curled upwards, revealing his teeth. "I've heard so much about you. The Youye Sect is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources..."
If Antonio hadn't been staring at him, it would have been easy to miss that fleeting micro-expression.
Having determined that Ruilin must have ulterior motives, he didn't bother to listen to what was said next.
Still heard of him? Not many people in this world know him, okay?
You think the Youye Sect is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery? There are only a few people in that place!
Antonio complained in his heart while holding Ruilin's hand tightly, staring at him with sparkling eyes, pretending to be ignorant and innocent.
When Ruilin finished speaking, no one responded and he was almost at a loss for words.
What's more, his hand was always held by a man. He didn't care at first, but after a while, he felt uncomfortable all over.
But the two monks from the major sects in front of him did not speak, and he could not find an opportunity to naturally let go of his hands.
Of course he knew that the Youye Sect was a wild clan. If he offended someone by mistake, it would be even more troublesome.
At this time, the role of a good book boy is revealed.
Mo Yin saw something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to grab Antonio's hand, shaking it vigorously as he did. "Master Antonio, I've heard about the power of the Youye Sect for a long time, and I've always longed to see them. But I've never been able to see them. Can you tell me some interesting stories about the Youye Sect?"
Ruilin's hands were free, and he immediately distanced himself from Antonio and stood next to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan has a cold personality, so it’s impossible for him to hold his hand tightly, right?
If that's the case...that wouldn't be bad.
"No!" Antonio saw that his disgusting plan was ruined by Mo Yin, and he didn't mean to be perfunctory. He waved his hand, sat back in the chair with his arms folded across his chest, and arrogantly crossed his legs.
But seeing the child raise his empty hands, open his mouth in surprise, and then quickly put on a fearful smile, he felt that he had gone too far and explained, "I don't know any interesting stories, so I can't tell you."
"It's my fault, it's my fault." Mo Yin rubbed his hands and apologized repeatedly, "I apologize to the hero. Come! Quickly bring some snacks and drinks to relieve the fatigue of the two guests. Please forgive me, an ignorant child."
Antonio didn't want to argue with the child. He waved his hand casually and looked at Ruilin.
Over there, Ruilin no longer dared to stand in front of Antonio and talk. He politely asked Lin Fan to sit down and took the main seat himself.
Snacks and drinks came in one after another, especially on the small table next to Antonio, where there were several wine jugs.
It is inappropriate to serve alcohol right away when you visit someone's house in broad daylight.
Ruilin explained at the top: "Mo Yin said that Master Antonio likes wine. Since we are friends, there is no need to worry about those red tapes, just have fun. You two can drink as you please. I will drink first as a sign of respect."
As he said this, he drank a glass of wine, showed the bottom of the glass to Lin Fan and the other man, and advised them to be more attentive and not to be polite.
Antonio lost his temper at this moment.
This guy is not completely without merits.
Lin Fan watched as Mo Yin handed over the wet towel just right. Using the excuse of reaching for some snacks, he unnoticeably asked Rui Lin to carefully wipe his stiff right hand. He also took the wet towel from the servant next to him and began to wipe it slowly.
The little book boy is not very old, but he knows how to read people's expressions and does things properly, which is really capable.
Since his personal servant is so powerful, Ruilin must be more than just a child of a noble family.
I don't know what his plan is.
