Chapter 469: Own Misjudgement (1)
Happy times were always short.
Very soon, Li An’an could only withdraw from the discussion and say goodbye to the ladies regretfully.
Because it was time for the appointment.
She took out her makeup mirror and looked at herself.
Then, she tidied up her appearance.
She took the documents and walked out of the lounge.
At this moment, the entire exhibition center was filled with well-dressed men or beautiful ladies.
Li An’an watched intently.
She loved to see beautiful ladies.
Sometimes, she even suspected that she liked beautiful ladies too.
But unfortunately, she didn’t!
She simply liked beautiful ladies.
She took the elevator to the seventh floor.
A staff member came up to greet her.
“Excuse me, are you Young Master Ling Ping’an from Jiangcheng City?” The polite Ceylon people bowed and asked.
“Yes!” Li An’an made her voice sound like her own nephew.
“Please follow me… Her Highness is already waiting for you!”
“Thank you!” Li An’an said with a smile.
Before walking into the reception room, Li An’an took some time to send a message to her nephew. It said, ‘Little Ping’an, guess what I’m doing?’
…
Ling Ping’an looked at the popular searches on WeChat Read in boredom.
“Sword immortal appeared in Imperial Capital!”
This was the hot topic today.
Unfortunately, when he clicked on it, he didn’t see the sword immortal. He only saw a few blurry photos with faint dots of light in them.
“That’s it?”
“Sword Immortal?”
“Why didn’t you say it was a drone?”
He pursed his lips. “People nowadays only want to create big news to attract attention!”
“Just like a few days ago, wasn’t there a lot of hype about the meteor crashing into Mount Kunlun?”
“What about now?”
The netizens’ memories were basically like fish.
There was no longer anyone discussing Mount Kunlun on the internet now.
Everyone was discussing the so-called sword immortal incident from last night.
Those who spread rumours were creating a stir in the comments section.
They were constantly saying, ‘Their family members or relatives were in a certain unit. The Sword Immortal from last night was an expert from the Long Group.’
Ling Ping’an felt that these people should be writing novels.
Their imagination was really good!
However…
He was also used to it.
The people of the Federation were also used to it.
Every now and then, there would be people clamoring to see gods and meet demons.
“Why… didn’t I make it onto the news for being a hero last night?” He pouted, a little displeased.
Of course, if it really made it onto the news, he would be unhappy again.
After all, he only wanted to muddle along and wait for death. He didn’t want to become famous, and he also didn’t want people to dig out his ancestral family background and make it known to everyone.
After all, he couldn’t afford to have his affairs investigated.
If he was investigated, it would attract the attention of countless reporters and self-media.
Then, someone might ask him a soul question.
“Young Master Ling, your family has been high-level intellectuals for generations…”
“Your parents are also famous experts in the Empire…”
“Why did you…?”
How would he answer?
Could he tell them that he didn’t even know how to solve a middle school equation?
Wasn’t this embarrassing?
He was reading fake news created by people who spread rumours.
Ling Ping’an saw a message from his aunt.
“Little Ping’an, guess what I’m doing?”
Ling Ping’an’s hair stood on end when he saw it, and his scalp felt numb.
His intuition told him that his aunt was definitely up to no good!
Thus, he hurriedly asked, “Aunt, what are you doing?”
Unfortunately, he didn’t get an answer.
… … …
Li An’an stuffed her phone back into her pocket and followed an attendant into an extremely elegant room.
As soon as she entered, Li An’an smelled an extremely pleasant fragrance.
It was light, fragrant and very pleasant to the nose.
She raised her head and looked in front of her.
The princess, who was wearing a dress, was as beautiful as in the photo.
A pair of bright blue eyes carefully looked at Ling Ping’an, who was disguised by Li An’an.
“Young Master Ling!” The princess spoke fluently. “Welcome!”
She bowed slightly, very formal imperial court etiquette.
Li An’an also quickly returned the bow. “Good afternoon, Princess!”
“You’re welcome!” The princess looked at her and smiled. She gently put away the opal in her hand.
Li An’an noticed this detail.
“Psionic power detection gem?” She thought.
Ceylon was a Buddhist country.
Its transcendent being specialty was all kinds of gems.
Among them, it was especially famous for detection gems that detected psionic power, and protection gems that protected against spells.
Legend had it that the Ceylon royal family had once gifted Emperor Dezong a giant opal that weighed 1.5 kilogrammes.
It was said that this opal could detect any tiny psionic power reaction.
Therefore, it was placed in the emperor’s bedroom to protect the emperor.
There were people watching it twenty-four hours a day. Once any unfamiliar psionic power reaction was detected, an alarm would sound.
Meanwhile, the princess smiled and sat down on a chair, served by two attendants.
Then, she said to Li An’an, “Young Master Ling, please take a seat!”
Li An’an sat down graciously.
Then, she looked at the beauty in front of her.
She felt relaxed and happy.
“Paying by the state to see beauty…” Li Anan thought delightedly, “It’s so comfortable!”
… …
Princess Lotus felt the temperature from the psionic power detection gem in her sleeve.
It was very hot!
The person in front of her was that mysterious Young Master X?
Thinking of this, she smiled and asked, “Young Master Ling…”
“Are you from Jiangcheng City?”
Li An’an smiled slightly. She leaned against the chair and was extremely confident. She even answered coldly with some arrogance, “Yes!”
In order to prepare for today, she had stayed up all night to read the question and answer software and learned a word ‘intellectual’ from it.
Therefore, she had done some practice before coming here.
After entering the door, she was in total command.
She pretended to be a knowledgeable, well-rounded intellectual with countless hobbies.
This was the persona she had set up for her nephew.
It was also one of her strengths.
As long as I pretended to be awesome enough, I would always be able to attract some women.
After all…
Not all women valued looks.
As for whether or not her nephew would be exposed, Li An’an wasn’t worried at all!
She knew that as long as her nephew didn’t talk about Math, Physics or Chemistry.
If he only talked about other things, he probably knew a little about everything.
Moreover, he was often able to come up with a set of logical and self-consistent fallacies.
Therefore, Li An’an gently held her eyes and leaned back comfortably on the chair. She looked straight at the princess in front of her with an extremely confident gaze.
At the same time, in her heart, she told herself.
“I am now Ling Ping’an!”
“An aloof, profound and mysterious intellectual!”
This kind of persona was in line with the foreigners’ understanding of the Federal Empire’s intellectual.
He was a fanatic!
The emperor asked for him and yet he would not come to court.
He did not even put the emperor in his eyes, let alone a mere foreign princess.
In the eyes of such a person, his willingness to come to see a princess from a foreign country was already a favor.
It was even a special kind of grace!
It was high above, but also condescending.
Li An’an quickly simulated this feeling.
After all, she was a transcendent being.
It was very easy to simulate a person’s aura.
She was not afraid of being discovered.
Because she was a transcendent being!
… … … … …
Princess Lotus looked at the man in front of her.
He gently touched his eyes.
The aura on his body was incomparably arrogant.
It was completely different from the embarrassment and flattery of those people from before.
This condescending attitude.
This attitude of ‘I’m willing to meet you because I think highly of you’ made Princess Lotus’ s heart pounded.
“Is this fate?” She thought.
Hence, her expression slowly changed.
It became gentle.
Even her voice was slightly trembling.
“Young Master…” She carefully asked, “I don’t know, what kind of occupation are you currently engaged in?”
Li An’an listened. Of course, she knew that her nephew’s opening of a bookstore could not be hidden from others.
She did not need to hide it.
As long as her character was established, she could turn a disadvantage into an advantage.
Therefore, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She used a tone that seemed neither servile nor overbearing, but was in fact extremely arrogant. She said, “A mere talent, I’m just managing a bookstore left behind by the ancestors…”
She confidently flicked her finger. “I might not be good enough for you!”
As Princess Lotus listened, her heart pounded non-stop.
The relationship between the Ceylon Kingdom and the Federal Empire seemed to be an equal relationship.
However, it was actually very special!
The first king after the restoration was the adopted son of the Federal Empire’s Emperor Taizu.
Taizu raised him under his knees and taught him well, treating him as his own son.
After the restoration, he was immediately sent back to Ceylon.
Hence, Ceylon and the Federal Empire were like father and son.
Naturally, she could get some hints from the Imperial Family.
“It’s really him!” Princess Lotus was extremely excited. Her blue eyes were filled with joy.
