Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 576 - 153: Does Your Bun Taste Good?

Three people sat together, and there was nothing much left to talk about.

So, after coaxing He Lan to finish two servings of fries, Li Mumu left the Western restaurant under the pretense of checking the medical results.

No sooner had she stepped out the door than the playful expression vanished from He Lan’s face as if it had never been there.

"Junior Martial Uncle, did I embarrass you?"

Huh?

Wang Yunxiao was thoroughly confused. What was she talking about?

He Lan said with a hint of grievance, "Doctor Li treated me like a country girl who’s never seen the world, like she was humoring a fool... She wouldn’t have thought any less of you because of me, would she?"

But you seemed quite happy to be humored by her!

Wang Yunxiao shook his head, "A man’s dignity is earned by himself and has nothing to do with others. Doctor Li isn’t the sort of shallow woman you think she is."

Why not? What a pity.

He Lan sighed inwardly and whispered close to Wang Yunxiao, "It’s only after coming to the big city with my father that I’ve really seen the world. There are so many things I’ve never seen before, things I wouldn’t even dare to dream of. If you have time, Junior Martial Uncle, could you teach me so I don’t make a fool of myself and embarrass you all?"

"You haven’t told me yet why you are with the Special Service Bureau."

"The Special Service Bureau?"

He Lan asked in surprise, "I thought this was a hospital. What kind of yamen is the Special Service Bureau?"

This difference in understanding was now quite evident.

"My father, Counselor, and I went out last night to rescue some people. They climbed over the walls, and I drove the getaway car..."

"You know how to drive?"

"My father just taught me a few days ago. It’s not that hard. Besides, there was no one on the streets in the middle of the night."

"Who did you rescue?"

"I don’t know, huh. Doctor Li just now asked me if my surname was Ma... All I know is that it was a whole family. They were tortured quite badly and haven’t woken up yet. Who knows what their surname is?"

Is old Master He that awesome?

Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but marvel to himself. So many of us could hardly sift a hole through Seaside District, and we didn’t find the Ma Family’s whereabouts, but Old Master He managed to fish them out with one move. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Indeed, professional matters should be left to the experts.

After Old Master He returned to Tianmen with the eldest brother and his family of three, it was as if nothing had happened; they settled into a peaceful, uneventful life. At that time, Wang Yunxiao thought he might be planning something big.

But he didn’t expect it to be this huge...

Then again, this has always been the way of the Swallow Sect.

Either they don’t play at all, or they play big, so big that it rocks the very heavens.

This was the case when they stole the Imperial Jade Seal, and now, snatching people from the jaws of demons and fiends was no different.

To be honest, Wang Yunxiao felt that this sect suited his taste quite well.

If Old Master He could pass on his ancestral Qinggong secret art to him, that would be even better.

Although Old Master He had made a promise at the beginning, since the matter with the Shen Family had ended somewhat anticlimactically, Wang Yunxiao felt a bit awkward about bringing it up.

"Is my teacher also here?"

"The Counselor went home to catch up on sleep, leaving me here to take care of things. I don’t know anyone here; it’s so boring."

He Lan’s voice was like a kitten’s paw, scratching around in Wang Yunxiao’s ears.

"Junior Martial Uncle, can you teach me to learn English? That way, the next time I come, I’ll know how to order the food," she said.

"You can speak Chinese to the waiter, and they will understand."

"But I don’t know what those ’hamburgers’ and ’curry’ mean, and if I say something wrong, people will laugh at me."

As everyone knows, the temperature is high in summer, and when young men and women sit too close together, they sweat. Moreover, He Lan was never very demure, always taking advantage of her physical attributes to get close to Wang Yunxiao.

If it were someone else, Wang Yunxiao would definitely have scolded loudly, telling the girl to learn to respect and love herself.

But that was useless with He Lan; she had learned all these things from her mother since she was young. Her martial arts were mediocre; her literary talent was mediocre; apart from her figure, everything about her was average. What could you do if you didn’t approve?

Either take her as a wife, or give her a good thrashing.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t want to use ugly words either, like calling her cheap or shameless.

After all, she was his own martial niece and didn’t act this way with anyone else, just being kind to him. If you couldn’t appreciate it, that was one thing, but pretending to be a paragon of virtue and a moral model would make you a laughing stock everywhere.

After some thought, Wang Yunxiao decided to be a straightforward and blunt man.

He turned to look into He Lan’s eyes and said, "Do you not take me for a serious man? Always flirting with me, aren’t you afraid of stirring up my temper and making me do something unseemly?"

He Lan’s gaze flickered, her mouth curling up slightly as she whispered in Wang Yunxiao’s ear, "Junior Martial Uncle, haven’t you heard the old saying, ’Water flowing into someone else’s field is wasted’? The tricks I learned from my mom—if I don’t use them on you, should I use them on other men?"

"Even to take a step back, that Doctor Li of yours, at first glance she looks like a young lady from a wealthy family. Without matchmakers and a grand marriage procession, do you think you could easily enjoy her warmth?"

That wasn’t necessarily the case; it was just that I hadn’t used my real skills yet.

Wang Yunxiao scoffed in his heart. Although he lacked practical experience, charming women wasn’t actually that troublesome for him.

It’s just that his standards were rather high.

As for whether he could enjoy some warmth... well, he wasn’t that desperate.

What kind of man do you think I am?

"I see you as a reliable man!"

He Lan licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes brimming with laughter, her breath as sweet as orchids.

"As a girl, where do I get to see good men? And at my age, if I’m not thinking about finding a man to entrust the rest of my life with, then what should I be considering? My dad is just a restaurant owner, and my mom—well, there’s no need to mention her. Do you think they could arrange a good match for me?"

Wang Yunxiao snorted, "If you want to live a peaceful life, finding a man isn’t difficult, is it?"

He Lan whispered, "Finding a man is easy, but it’s not easy to find someone better than you."

Damn it, this woman has learned her mother’s real teachings.

Was Wang Yunxiao the kind of man who gets heady with a little girl’s flattery?

He was.

"What’s so good about me?"

As he instinctively retorted, Wang Yunxiao knew he had made a mistake, stepping right into her trap.

He Lan laughed, "I know you have some thoughts about Doctor Li, but she’s like these sodas and fries, it’s fine to indulge occasionally, but can you really make them your staple and eat them every day? If you don’t mind, I can steam big meat buns for you to eat!"

These meat buns you’re talking about... Are they literal meat buns... or something else?

For a moment, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t differentiate, but seeing He Lan’s face, which seemed ready for the taking, it felt like any consumption would be acceptable.
