"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Seeing that Zhou Ruo'an didn't really want to talk to him, Ling Tianwang didn't get annoyed. He smiled slightly as he watched Zhou Ruo'an walk into the crowd.

The expression in his eyes was somewhat complicated, yet also somewhat breathtaking.

This young miss Zhou Family was different from any other woman he had ever met.

That night, Zhou Ruo'an was not idle, and the small team under her command naturally could not escape the fate of working through the night.

After a busy night, she finally managed to create a small training camp that she could barely manage to pass through.

Although it was simple and crude, it was enough for her to choose the elites. At least, they were elites compared to the soldiers who were trained by machines all day long.

When Ling Tianwang returned and heard the report from his subordinates, he was not surprised by the strange equipment. On the contrary, he was unhappy about Zhou Ruo'an staying up all night.

"Go get her."

The guard was stunned for a moment before hurriedly running towards Zhou Ruo'an's territory after realizing who the "she" was.

Zhou Ruo'an, who had been invited to the camp, was upset. She was busy with the examination and acceptance of the results. Looking at the clumsy movements of the group of people, she was already furious.

The guards were scared senseless by Zhou Ruo'an's sinister aura. Other than their master, he had never seen such a malicious spirit on anyone else.

"You're looking for me?"

Zhou Ruo'an got straight to the point when she saw Ling Tianwang. Anxiety was written all over her face.

Ling Tianwang was flipping through a military book. Hearing Zhou Ruo'an's voice, he slowly put down the book in his hand. His pair of eagle-like black eyes met her gaze.

"You didn't sleep all night?"

Zhou Ruo'an was stunned for a moment. "Yes."

"You are seriously injured and yet you dare to show off? It won't even take seven days before you fall."

Zhou Ruo'an didn't know if it was just an illusion, but she actually heard a trace of anger from Ling Tianwang's tone.

"I know my body."

These injuries weren't really anything, and they had already been treated with medicine, so there was no need to worry about them at all. In her previous life, her injuries were much worse than this, so wouldn't she have to forcefully endure and complete the mission?

Hearing her words, the hostility between Ling Tianwang's brows intensified. Frowning, he strolled over to Zhou Ruo'an and looked down at her.

The two of them were very close. Zhou Ruo'an even felt that she could feel the heat coming from Ling Tianwang's body even through the clothes.

Ling Tianwang had a faint aroma of sandalwood on his body, light and suitable, and it was a very good smell.

Zhou Ruo'an was not used to being so close to someone who was not fighting. She took a step back.

"Luo Ying, take her back and ask Cui Lin to change her medicine."

Ling Tianwang's tone was unquestionable. Zhou Ruo'an knew it was useless talking to him, so she only mentioned one condition to him.

"Let me report this to them."

Ling Tianwang did not stop them. He waved his hand and walked back to the table to read the military art book.

Zhou Ruo'an's resting room wasn't too far from the drill grounds. When she walked back into the room, she saw an additional face that she had never seen before.

She frowned and remembered that Ling Tianwang mentioned "Cui Lin" just now. This must be Cui Lin.

When Cui Ling saw that Zhou Ruo'an had returned, she quickly curtsied to her.

Zhou Ruo'an glanced at her indifferently and nodded slightly.

Intuition told Zhou Ruo'an that this servant girl called Cui Lin was very hostile towards him.

"Miss Zhou, let me apply the medicine for you."

"No need, I'll do it myself." Zhou Ruo'an refused without a second thought.

Hearing this answer, Cui Lin's face became ugly.

She knew of Miss Zhou's background. She was merely a junior who could be bullied by everyone in the Zhou Family.

She lowered her head and sneered. Did she really think that she would be able to get away with it just by using some tricky methods to climb up to the throne?

Miss Zhou is a customer, how can there be a rule for customers to do it themselves? "This servant will take your place …"

"Get out!"

Before Cui Lin could finish, she was interrupted by Zhou Ruo'an with a cold face.

Zhou Ruo'an could immediately see what was on Cui Lin's mind, but she couldn't be bothered with her. She didn't even care about a mindless little servant girl.

Cui Lin was stunned for a moment by Zhou Ruo'an's sudden shout, then a sinister look appeared in her eyes.

"Don't think that just because you seduced the duke to stay here that you are the owner of the Prince Ning's Mansion! Don't think that I don't know what kind of rubbish you are. Tell me, if I were to get rid of you, would Zhou Family be grateful to me? "

"Ha!" Zhou Ruo'an sneered. She was too lazy to bother with this lunatic.

She rolled over onto her bed, ready to get a good night's sleep.

However, in Cui Lin's eyes, her reaction was a silent provocation.

Ling Tianwang was absent from the Mansion all year round. As the great Maidservant that the empress had bestowed upon Ling Tianwang, she had always been in the Mansion acting mighty.

Immediately, Cui Lin exploded.

She raised her sleeves and approached Zhou Ruo'an with a twisted expression. Just as she was about to pinch the wound on her body, she was unexpectedly thrown backwards by Zhou Ruo'an, who was lying on the bed with her back facing her. Zhou Ruo'an grabbed her arm again and twisted it slightly, causing her slender arm to be dislocated.

Zhou Ruo'an sucked in a breath of cold air as her movement range reached her wound. She frowned and stepped on Cui Lin's back, saying coldly, "Next time …" She sneered. "Your arm was broken."

Cui Lin could not help but tremble, but her mouth was still showing her power.

"You! How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this! "

"You? "He's just a lackey who's been stuck in Ling Tianwang's bed for so many years." Her tone was full of contempt.

After throwing Cui Lin to the ground like trash, Zhou Ruo'an closed the window and applied the medicine for herself as if there was no one around.

The backlash from earlier had torn a few of the wounds on her body. She needed to take care of it before she went back to sleep.

Cui Lin crawled up from the ground, cried and ran outside.

Her arm had been dislocated, and the pain of dislocated flesh made her tremble with every step she took.

Without Cui Lin's disturbance, Zhou Ruo'an slept soundly.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when the setting sun had dyed the horizon red that she finally woke up.

The first thing Zhou Ruo'an saw after she woke up was the cold dishes on the table.

It would be better to call it food than leftovers. One would lose their appetite just by looking at it.

She sneered, this was a masterpiece of Cui Lin.

For her, as long as she could fill her stomach, she could eat. Besides, compared to the food she had eaten when she was ambushed in the mountains and in the woods in her previous life, this meal was considered a good meal. However, Zhou Ruo'an did not intend to use her chopsticks.

For some people, if they didn't teach her a lesson and trample her beneath their feet, it would bring them endless trouble.
