Chapter 243 - 243: Heaven Worshipping Event
Shan Ling lost her temper after he teased her like that. After she checked Han Yanran’s pulse, she said, “Remember to take the medicine every day.”
The medicine she prescribed was basically all Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood, including supplements like dangshen. However, she tried to prescribe a small amount so that it wouldn’t affect Han Yanran’s body at all.
Han Xing was also thinking about something. He wanted to visit the Wang family in the Northern Province.
The Wang family was such a powerful family. It was not easy for him to show his face, but he should be able to ask for some information in private, especially in the Northern Province where the Wang family had made their fortune.
He was originally worried that Han Yanran’s health would be affected if he left, but now that Shan Ling and Shangguan Xuelan came often, he was relieved.
Plus, the butler and the maids at home could also take care of Han Yanran, so there shouldn’t be any big problems once he left.
Thinking of this, he was about to speak when Shan Ling spoke first. “By the way, 1 won’t be able to come this week. If there’s any problem, contact Shangguan Xuelan directly.”
Han Yanran was also a little surprised at this time. She asked curiously, “Miss Shan, are you planning to return to your family?”
Shan Ling was not from Rainbow City. She had stayed in Rainbow City for so long, so she would have to return sooner or later.
“Not really.” She waved her hand indifferently. She replied, “The main thing is that the families in the Northern Province are going to start participating in this year’s worship event.”
“The members of the various families cannot be absent. Otherwise, 1 don’t plan to go back at all.”
Han Xing did not expect Shan Ling’s family to be from the Northern Province. Before he could speak, he heard Shan Ling say to him, “By the way, 1 haven’t found a suitable bodyguard for the worship event yet. Han Xing, you’re quite skilled. Can you accompany me on this trip?”
Han Xing nodded and did not have any objections. However, he still asked, “Is there anything particular about this worship event?”
“Alright, 1’11 tell you.”
Shan Ling told him the story of the past. The worship event in the Northern Province has a history of more than loo years.
In the past, it was worship carried out by the families living in the Northern Province. Later, it gradually evolved into praying for good weather in the coming year. This was the reason for the worship event, but in reality, it was because the families would be discussing the future business map together during this event.
At the same time, the various families could get in touch with each other and tie their interests together. This was the main purpose of the worship event.
Han Xing naturally heard this, but he asked curiously, “How do you know my martial arts skill is pretty good?”
Shan Ling did not hide anything and directly pushed the blame on Shangguan Xuelan. She replied, “She said that you’re very good at playing games. 1 know this game. She even said that you’re a close combat expert, which means that you’re not bad in real life. Stop pretending.”
Han Xing laughed, “You’re quite a sharp-tongued girl. If 1 don’t go with you, I’m afraid I’ll be scolded.”
At this point, Han Xing thought about how Shan Ling had been so talkative when they were at Black Mountain. He found it interesting.
“Alright, 1 don’t want to argue with you. Get ready. We’ll set off tomorrow.”
When the butler sent Shan Ling to the door, she turned to look at Han Xing and said, “Oh right, if you find anyone who dares to plot against me, you can punch their front teeth!”
“Let’s see who still dares to tease me in front of my face!”
Han Xing nodded and replied, “Sure, no problem. You’re my money tree now.”
Han Xing naturally didn’t want to reject this. Shan Ling had helped him for so long without any compensation, let alone come to check on Han Yanran’s condition every few days.
He felt a little guilty for owing her a favor. Now, it could be considered that he had fulfilled his wish to repay her in some way.
The next morning, Han Yanran woke up early to send Han Xing off. When they reached the entrance, they found a car waiting for them.
“Come here, get in the car! We’re going to take a private jet!”
Han Xing raised his eyebrows and instructed Han Yanran, “If you have any problems, call me immediately. Don’t be afraid of troubling me, okay?”
Han Yanran smiled sweetly and replied, “Don’t worry, Brother. I’m not a child anymore, 1 can definitely take care of myself.”
After Han Xing got into the car, he realized that Shan Ling was dressed very casually. She did not look like she was going home to attend an event. He commented, “You’re not wearing anything fancy.”
“That’s right!” Shan Ling nodded and answered, “1 don’t care as long as it’s comfortable to wear. Those tight and uncomfortable gowns would kill me!”
When they arrived at the airport, the Wang family’s private jet was already waiting for them. A middle-aged man who came to pick her up greeted her respectfully when he saw Shan Ling. “Third Miss.”
“Butler Zhang, this is my friend and bodyguard, Han Xing.”
Shan Ling was worried that Butler Zhang would look down on Han Xing, so before introducing him, she emphasized the word ‘friend’. Unfortunately, her actions were futile.
Butler Zhang glanced at Han Xing meaningfully and advised her, “Third Young Miss, you’re now grown up and your style of doing things is not the same as before. You should pay more attention to this aspect, otherwise Master and Mistress will also be angry.”
These words made Shan Ling angry. She dragged Han Xing onto the plane and said in an extremely cold voice, “They can do whatever they want. In their eyes, I’m just an unfilial daughter anyway.”
When the two of them got on the plane, Han Xing realized that Shan Ling’s eyes were red. He couldn’t help but comfort her, “Alright, what kind of enmity can parents have with their children? You have quite a temper.”
Shan Ling glared at Han Xing and retorted, “You’re still lecturing me at a time like this.”
Han Xing shook his head and replied, “I’m not lecturing you. My parents passed away early. After they left, 1 feel regretful every time 1 recall how childish I was.”
“I’m sorry!” Shan Ling apologized in embarrassment, “I didn’t think too much about it.”
“It’s all in the past. The most important thing now is to protect you and let the noble Miss Shan be safe and sound during the worship event.”
Shan Ling was amused by his words and punched him in the chest.
“You’re just a little bodyguard, and you still dare to be impudent in front of me? 1’11 give you a punch!”
After laughing, she slowly said to Han Xing, “My father is the head of the Shan family. I still have an elder brother and an elder sister. When I go back, I’m really afraid that they will make things difficult for you.”
Han Xing was a little indifferent. He asked, “Are your family members so unorganized? They’re even making things difficult for a bodyguard.”
“No.” Shan Ling didn’t know how to explain, so she said, “You’ll understand when we get there.”
“They won’t target and make things difficult for a bodyguard. They only target everyone who appears around me..”
