Sima Rulan pondered for a while, then sat down on the chair again. The angry and angry expression on her face disappeared, and her jade face returned to calm. She suddenly said: "Since it is just a rumor speculated by some idlers, we don't have to Pay attention. This young lady has decided to temporarily live in the Waitian Tower from today on!"

As soon as these words came out, not only did Hua Bushi not expect it, but Xiong Tiannan was also shocked.

Sima Rulan stared at Hua Bushi with her beautiful eyes and said: "Didn't you say that the Waitian Tower is not safe and someone is coming to assassinate you? Do you want to ask the City Lord's Mansion to send someone to help protect you? Now that person is here, it is me myself. , Mr. Hua won’t welcome you?”

Hua Bushi said: "But... this..."

Sima Rulan raised her lips and said, "It's this or that. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Hua Bushi said: "But since we are so small in Weitian Tower, we really can't afford the expense of a thousand taels a day. Miss Lan'er still..."

At this moment when rumors are spreading, if the eldest lady of the city lord is still openly living in the Veitian Tower, the ambiguous rumors between her and Hua Bushi will not be cleared up even by jumping into the Yellow River. Does the eldest young master know this in his heart? Yes, but I couldn't say it clearly, so I had to use the excuse that I couldn't afford the silver as an excuse.

Sima Rulan snorted softly and said: "You are indeed greedy and stingy, and you are not willing to give out even a tael of silver! Okay, I live here and am responsible for protecting the safety of Weitian Tower. I don't take a tael of silver, as long as I You just have to take care of the food every day, is that okay?"

Hua Bushi wanted to push back again, but Xiong Tiannan couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Xianmei Lan'er, are you kidding me? How can you live in a place like Weitian Tower! It's better to stop messing around and talk to him quickly. Let’s go back to the city lord’s mansion for my brother’s sake!”

As he spoke, he walked to Sima Rulan and reached out to hold her arm.

Sima Rulan flicked her right hand and broke away from Xiong Tiannan's pull, and said: "Xiong Tiannan, I have decided to live in Weitian Tower. You don't need to worry about this matter. If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself!"

At this time, Xiong Tiannan's face had darkened and he said: "Xianmei Lan'er, I didn't tell you before. In fact, today I was ordered by my father to come to see Xianmei. My father heard the rumors in the city. The words conveyed were too unreasonable, so he asked me to persuade Xianmei that it is best to stay in the house and not go out casually."

Sima Rulan said: "You go back and tell Uncle Xiong that your niece has her own opinions, so please rest assured. The things here have nothing to do with you, just go back!"

Xiong Tiannan said: "How can that be done? Dad has promised me that when Uncle Sima returns to the island this time, he will come to propose marriage to your father. By then you and I will be a family. You are so willful and want to stay here In a place like this, the reputation of our Xiong family is ruined, how could it have nothing to do with me!"

Xiong Bailing is the deputy head of the "Wanjin Hall", his status in the sect is second only to Sima Zhufeng, and the Xiong family has a close relationship with the Sima family. Sima Zhufeng got acquainted with Xiong Bailing as early as when he was a ranger in Jiangnan, and once rescued Xiong Bailing. He took his life. Since the establishment of Okura City, both families have moved to the island together. Xiong Tiannan, the eldest son of Xiong, and Sima Rulan also grew up together in Okura City, and they can be said to be very familiar with each other. .

Xiong Tiannan had long admired Sima Rulan and begged his father many times to propose marriage to Sima City Lord, but Xiong Bailing did not agree. It was not that Xiong Bailing disapproved of the marriage, the only thing to blame was that Mr. Xiong himself was too Disappointed.

Sima Zhufeng had no heirs, only a daughter like Sima Rulan. Sima Rulan was born intelligent and had excellent martial arts qualifications. When he was a teenager, he received the true inheritance of Shaolin martial arts from Sima Zhufeng. He was also well-read and able to

He is talented in literature and martial arts, and has a very upright and chivalrous heart.

Sima Zhufeng saw this and was of course very pleased. He also intended to let his daughter take over the "Wanjin Hall" and inherit the position of Lord of Okura City in the future. However, because of this, he also set certain conditions for choosing a son-in-law for his daughter.

Extremely high, which not only requires outstanding martial arts and character, but also requires general talents in literary talent, strategy, and business operations.

In Sima Zhufeng's view, even if his beloved daughter could become the lord of Okura City in the future, she would still be born as a daughter, and this big city would actually be run by her and her husband. Of course, he could not hand over such an important task to anyone without

A mediocre person.

Xiong Tiannan was not a mediocre person, but apart from being tall, strong, strong and capable of passable martial arts, he could barely read. He had no talent for writing or strategy, and he knew nothing about business.

Xiong Bailing had a close friendship with Sima Zhufeng. He had known Hall Master Sima's criteria for choosing a husband for his daughter early on, and he also knew very well that even if he proposed marriage to Xiong Tiannan, there would be no hope at all and he would only be asking for trouble, so he simply didn't mention it. Back to

At home, he urged his son to study and practice more, and at least his appearance could barely meet the standard before he could give it a try to propose marriage.

This is the reason why Xiong Tiannan obviously looks like a warrior, but he insists on dressing up as a scholar. With Xiong Tiannan's mind, it is too difficult to study and learn literature for a while, but it is very easy to change into the attire of a literary talent.

Rumors about Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi circulated in the city, and the person who was most worried was no one else, but the great talent Xiong Tiannan. He immediately went to his father for help, but unexpectedly, Xiong Bailing looked indifferent and only let his son persuade the city lord himself.

That's the lady.

So Xiong Tiannan found the City Lord's Mansion and then came to the Weitian Tower. At this time, he saw that Sima Rulan not only refused to go back, but wanted to stay in the Weitian Tower. In a moment of desperation, he mentioned the marriage proposal.

Unexpectedly, it would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he mentioned the proposal of marriage, Sima Rulan's pretty face suddenly darkened and shouted: "Xiong Tiannan, shut up! My father has never agreed to the marriage, who is a family member to you! How dare you again

You're talking nonsense, don't blame me for kicking you out!"

Xiong Tiannan was full of longing for the eldest lady of the city, but Sima Rulan didn't have much favorable impression of this Young Master Xiong. It was just because the two families were family friends, so she was quite polite to Xiong Tiannan in the past, but today this Xiong

The eldest son actually told her about the marriage proposal in person, and even boasted that he and she were family members, which made Sima Rulan feel ashamed and angry.

Xiong Tiannan carries a tiger on his back and is very strong, but his scheming and reaction is a bit slow. He is a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. At this time, he is still saying: "Our two families have such a good relationship, as long as my father tells me, your father will definitely

I will agree to it. Our marriage will be a matter of time anyway. It doesn’t matter if we talk about it a few days in advance..."

Sima Rulan was so furious that before he could finish speaking, she shouted sternly: "Shut up!" She stepped in front of Xiong Tiannan, waved her right palm and slapped him straight at him!

Seeing the beauty's palm flying towards her, Xiong Tiannan quickly raised his hand to block it and said, "Xianmei has something to say, why are you using your hands?"

He Xilou, who was born in Southern Shaolin, was beaten by Xiong Bailing within ten moves until he vomited blood and was defeated. It can be seen that the Xiong family's "Shocking Bear Palm" is really a very domineering palm technique. Although Xiong Tiannan is not good at writing, he is not bad at martial arts. , has been inherited by Xiong Bailing, and his hand skills are not weak. In addition, he is tall and strong, and has extraordinary strength. Even if he parries attacks from others, he can still block them.

It's just that Sima Rulan is none other than Sima Rulan. Her martial arts were inherited from Sima Zhufeng, and they are authentic Shaolin stunts. Compared with the martial arts of Southern Shaolin lay disciples like He Xilou, they are completely different! Although Xiong Tiannan raised his hand to block He received a slap from Sima Rulan, but a dark force had already penetrated his arm and hit him hard on the chest!

This secret power is exactly one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin, the "beating the cow across the mountain" in Arhat Boxing!

Even though Xiong Tiannan was strong, he still couldn't bear the blow. The energy in his chest floated and he took a big step back. Sima Rulan's second palm hit him in the chest!

There was a "bang", and Xiong Tiannan couldn't dodge and received another blow!

The previous palm had already made him unsteady on his feet, but the power of the second palm was even stronger than before. Xiong Tiannan took five or six steps back under the impact of the dark energy, but still could not relieve the strength of the opponent's palm. With a "pop", He sat down on the ground and broke several green bricks on the floor.

Although Sima Rulan's attack was sudden, Xiong Tiannan was at a disadvantage when he parried at will, but he knocked down a bear-shaped man to the ground with just two palms. The eldest lady of the city was indeed an extraordinary move.

Even Xiong Tiannan himself did not expect that he could not resist Sima Rulan's two palms!

He had long heard that this wise girl Lan'er had obtained the true martial arts inheritance from the city lord, but he had never fought with her. He only thought that no matter how high her martial arts skills were, she was just a woman and her power would be limited. And Xiong Tiannan had always believed in her height and strength. , has great martial arts skills, but now that he was defeated so easily by a woman, he felt a little embarrassed, and his dark face had turned purple.

He stretched out his hands on the ground and climbed up in embarrassment, saying: "You...you...how dare you hit me..."

Sima Rulan said: "So what if I beat you! Xiong Tiannan, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't be merciful the next time I attack!"

Although Xiong Tiannan was knocked down by two palms and lost face, he was not injured, thanks to the mercy of the eldest lady of the city.

He was ashamed and angry, but he pointed to Hua Bushi who was sitting beside him, and said: "How dare you, you barking sky tower, to deceive our eldest lady? Just wait and see, I will go back and call someone, they will definitely smash it." You’re a dog training studio!”

After Xiong Tiannan finished speaking, he stamped his feet, turned around and left. When he went out, he walked too hastily and got caught on the threshold. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. He only managed to stand firm with his palms on the ground and dropped a folding fan. When it fell to the ground, it was really disgraceful.

After Xiong Tiannan left, Sima Rulan returned to the table, sat down on the chair, and said: "Young Master Hua, don't worry, he is just trying to show off his strength. As long as I am here, no one will dare to attack Xiong Tiannan." building."
