Luo Yan scratched the back of her head, looking quite troubled, “Oh, you’re right! But I can’t think of anything else!”
“Follow me!” I suddenly stood up, giving her a mysterious smile, then pulled her straight to the bedroom. After rummaging through the bedside cabinet for a while, I finally found a large wooden box, exclaiming excitedly: “Found it, found it!”
“What is it?” Luo Yan curiously leaned forward, her eyes suddenly brightening. She hugged me and shouted: “Haha!”
Mahjong tiles! Xin Ran, you actually have these, you’re just… so amazing!”
I proudly boasted: “Hehe, let me tell you! In the second year after crossing over, I started learning woodcarving from the master craftsman here. I spent three whole months carving these Mahjong tiles myself. But back then, no one here could play with me, so they’ve been stored away until now. Haha… today they can finally see the light of day!”
“But there are just the two of us, so we can’t play,” Luo Yan thought, frowning.
“That’s easy! We’ll just bring two more people!” I suggested enthusiastically.
“Who?” Luo Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Luo Yan looked at me calmly like an expert: “Xin Ran, although I don’t believe in love, I can still distinguish the look of loving someone. When you heard that the princess would marry into the fortress in seven days, your entire gaze changed!”
“I couldn’t be bothered to explain, and simply leaned against the wall, casually pulling a blade of grass from the ground and holding it lazily in my mouth. ‘Luo Yan, tell me about this princess from the Phoenix Hidden Kingdom.’
‘The princess from the Phoenix Hidden Kingdom?’ Luo Yan frowned.
‘Yes, didn’t you say that after you crossed over, you mysteriously became a side consort in the An Ruo Wang’s mansion? You should have had many opportunities to enter the palace!’
Xin Ran thought for a long time, then shook her head: ‘I haven’t seen the princess who is supposed to be married. As far as I know, the emperor of the Phoenix Hidden Kingdom only has one sister, but she went missing ten years ago and her whereabouts are unknown!’
I was shocked, quickly jumping up from the ground and grabbing her sleeve. ‘Then who is the person marrying Xi Lin Yan in seven days?’
