"Something's not right."
Li Xianyu narrowed his eyes as he walked out of the restaurant.
He originally thought that these women in Lingjiu Palace were here to cause trouble.
But Granny Yu's attitude was a bit too respectful.
"Brother Li, you are much more powerful than I thought." Wang Yuyan smiled, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Most of A'Zhu's eyes were filled with joy, while A'Zi's were relatively complicated: both fear and enthusiasm.
Li Xianyu glanced at Wang Yuyan's mouth and said quietly: "Yuyan, do you think the song just now was praising me?"
Wang Yuyan blinked, shook her head, and said seriously: "It's not a boast, it's a fact."
"Then do you know that the facts you mentioned are equivalent to selling my situation to that Granny Yu?" Li Xianyu said angrily.
"This..." Wang Yuyan shrank her neck, feeling a little guilty.
Li Xianyu hummed softly: "If you hadn't been trying to expose my moves, within ten moves, I would have been confident that I could defeat Granny Yu with just one Yang Finger and Vajra Finger."
Wang Yuyan lowered her head with guilty conscience.
"If it's a war, what you just did is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." Li Xianyu came to the line.
Wang Yuyan was speechless.
Neither A'Zhu nor A'Zi dared to breathe loudly.
"If you want to explain again in the future, just talk about the opponent's moves." Li Xianyu said.
"Oh." Wang Yuyan said softly.
Li Xianyu glanced at Wang Yuyan's red lips and thought to herself that she would have to stop her mouth when she got back and teach her a profound lesson.
"I met the Western Twins and Granny Yu. The person Li Qingluo met is probably stronger than Granny Yu, and may even be the Tianshan Child Elder..."
Thinking of this, Li Xianyu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
A fantasy picture came to mind: Tianshan Child Elder saw Li Qingluo and struck out with one palm after another. Li Qingluo instantly turned into a puddle of mud... Tianshan Child Elder looked confused.
"Tianshan Child Elder... seems to have a weakness." Li Xianyu thought for a moment, his heart gradually calmed down, and he said, "Go to Auntie, she may be in danger."
"Mother?" Wang Yuyan's heart suddenly tightened.
"Do you still remember Fu Minyi we met in Wuliang Mountain?" Li Xianyu asked as he walked.
"You mean... Lingjiu Palace?" Wang Yuyan frowned, followed Li Xianyu, and whispered, "That matter... hasn't Brother Li already solved it?"
She remembered that she even performed with him that night.
"There was an accident. As long as we can catch up in time, it won't be a big problem." Li Xianyu said, his brows suddenly wrinkled, he looked sideways at Wang Yuyan and asked, "Do you know where Auntie is?"
"Ah, this..." Wang Yuyan looked at A'Zhu with confusion in her eyes.
"I don't know either." A'Zhu whispered.
Li Xianyu felt helpless and said, "Let's go forward first."
Gusu City is Li Qingluo's territory. If Li Qingluo wants to find him, it will probably be easy.
And if he, Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, A'Zi and others want to find Li Qingluo, they will have to try their luck.
When he came to a street entrance, a little beggar stopped Li Xianyu.
"A big fat man asked me to give this to you." The little beggar handed Li Xianyu a folded note.
"Big fat man?" Li Xianyu was surprised. He opened the note and looked at it, his eyes suddenly condensed.
There were only eight words on the note: The child has arrived, so be careful.
Li Xianyu calmly crushed the note and recalled some of the exchanges between him and Fu Minyi that night in the second half of the night:
"You are so fat."
"I am fat?"
“Isn’t it fat here?”
“……”
"I'll call you Fatty from now on."
"roll."
…
"A'Zhu, reward him with a piece of silver." Li Xianyu ordered.
"oh."
A'Zhu stepped forward and gave the little beggar a piece of silver.
The little beggar showed joy on his face, looked around, and whispered: "She is actually not fat at all."
After saying that, the leader slipped away.
"I know she's not fat." Li Xianyu thought to himself, feeling reassured.
At least Fu Minyi didn't betray him.
The Westerners continued to walk forward, each observing the West, hoping to see familiar figures.
"Over there." Ah Zi suddenly shouted and pointed forward.
Li Xianyu looked around and found eight maids from Mantuo Villa standing outside a silk and satin shop.
"This silk shop seems to be the property of Mantuo Villa." A'Zhu whispered.
"I'm not sure." Wang Yuyan shook her head. She had not paid much attention to her own property.
While talking, a group of Westerners came to the outside of the silk shop.
"It seems that Yu Yan is still a little rich woman." Li Xianyu joked with a smile, feeling relieved. There were several people outside the silk shop and maids guarding them. Li Qingluo should have been fine.
Wang Yuyan's cheeks turned red and she gave Li Xianyu an angry look.
Just when he reached the threshold of the silk and satin shop, Li Xianyu stopped and suddenly remembered something in his mind. He turned to look at Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, and A'Zi, and asked, "Where are the things we bought?"
The Westerners spent the whole morning shopping, including Li Xianyu, and they all bought a lot of things.
When we went into the restaurant to eat, everyone was carrying large and small bags in their hands. But now the Westerners have nothing in their hands.
"Um..." Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, and A'Zi looked at each other in confusion. A'Zhu blushed and said, "I seem to have forgotten it in the restaurant."
Li Xianyu looked at the maid of Mantuoshan Villa who was guarding the door, and ordered: "There is a Zhao's Restaurant over there, in the Jiasan Pavilion on the second floor. Transport the contents to the boat."
"yes."
A maidservant from the West walked towards the street.
After entering the silk shop, a waiter led the Westerner into the backyard.
In a hall, Li Xianyu saw Li Qingluo again and felt completely relieved.
"Mom." Wang Yuyan shouted, feeling greatly relieved.
Li Qingluo hummed slightly and was looking through the account book.
Li Xianyu took a closer look and said, "Can you understand?"
Li Qingluo's pretty face turned dark immediately and she glared at Li Xianyu fiercely.
Li Xianyu knew he had made a mistake, grinned dryly, and said, "It's just a joke, don't mind, Auntie."
"Asshole." Li Qingluo cursed secretly, her chest rising and falling with anger.
The word "West" just now is not very harmful, but it is too insulting.
So strong... Li Qingluo began to think about her image in the eyes of the little pervert.
Li Qingluo was sulking and couldn't stand the contents of the account book anymore. She glared at Li Xianyu fiercely, feeling that her image might not be very good in the eyes of this little pervert.
Li Xianyu showed an innocent expression, thinking that it's not all my fault. After all, in my eyes, you are really a fool.
"Mother, this is my Yun'er." The shopkeeper of the silk shop led the 189-year-old girl over with a smile on his face.
Li Qingluo looked at the girl and chuckled: "You don't look very good, but the granddaughter you gave birth to is really pretty."
The girl named 'Yun'er' glanced at Li Qingluo, then placed her gaze on Wang Yuyan's face, stunned.
"It's really good-looking." Li Xianyu looked at Yun'er and nodded secretly.
This girl is a beauty at first glance, fair and pure, with big cute eyes.
"Haha~, I'll ask Mistress to take care of her from now on." The shopkeeper bowed his waist, with a smile on his face that was mixed with strong flattery.
Li Qingluo said: "After entering Mantuo Villa, she can learn martial arts, but in the next twenty years, she will respect me as her mistress and cannot disobey my orders."
The shopkeeper glanced at Yun'er and said, "Yun'er was born deaf and mute. It is her honor to be able to serve the mistress."
"Deaf and mute?" Li Xianyu was startled and narrowed his eyes.
"Then let her follow me." Li Qingluo stood up and said, "The silk shop... you have done a good job in taking care of it. When you are old, you can leave it to your son to continue taking care of it."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, bowed even lower, and quickly thanked: "Thank you, mistress, for making this happen."
Li Qingluo hummed reservedly and walked out of the hall.
The group left the silk shop.
Originally, Li Qingluo still had several shops to check the accounts, but Li Xianyu's words "You can understand" just now were so lethal that she lost all interest in checking the accounts, and walked towards Taihu Lake outside the city. .
On the way, Li Xianyu looked at the girl named "Yun'er" as if unintentionally, and he didn't dare to think too much about the thoughts that came to his mind.
"impossible."
"Absolutely impossible."
Li Xianyu secretly shook his head, thinking how could the Tianshan Child Elder come to work as a maid for Li Qingluo?
But……
The body of eight or nine years old, the attributes of being deaf and mute, plus Fu Minyi's summons...
This made Li Xianyu unable to stop thinking.
Naturally, Tianshan Child Elder is not a deaf-mute, but Tianshan Child Elder's voice is not a child's voice, so it makes perfect sense to pretend to be a deaf-mute.
Returning to the shore of Taihu Lake, the group boarded the luxurious ship, and Li Xianyu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Auntie." Li Xianyu called.
Li Qingluo raised her eyebrows lightly and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Li Xianyu nodded slightly.
Li Qingluo glanced at Wang Yuyan and said, "Follow me."
She guessed that Li Xianyu had something secret to discuss with her.
The two came to the main hall of the cabin, and Li Qingluo waved away a group of maids.
"How about giving me a reward for that little girl named Yun'er?" Li Xianyu got straight to the point.
"Yun'er?" Li Qingluo was startled, then frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you want her to do?"
"Save you idiot." Li Xianyu secretly said with a shy face, "I need a maid by my side."
"Oh." Li Qingluo said softly and said with a smile, "This is an oversight on my part. Yun'er is too young, deaf and mute. I will find someone more considerate for you."
Li Xianyu shook his head and said, "It's better to be deaf and mute."
Li Qingluo stared at Li Xianyu and suddenly chuckled: "What? You can't trust me?"
Li Xianyu's expression remained normal and he said, "Auntie, you think too much."
"Little slippery one." Li Qingluo cursed secretly, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
I thought to myself, a little girl of eight or nine years old, I don't think she can make any trouble.
"Thank you, Auntie." Li Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qingluo took a sip of the tea on the coffee table and said, "If you want a girl, I'll give it to you; don't you have any expression?"
"Auntie you mean?" Li Xianyu asked, a little speechless in his heart. He knew without even thinking that this idiot woman would definitely mention Duan Zhengchun next.
A look of uneasiness flashed across Li Qingluo's face and she said, "After you get married, help me keep Duan Zhengchun."
"Well... Auntie hasn't decided how to keep him yet?" Li Xianyu asked calmly.
I'm complaining in my heart: Even if you can keep him, you probably won't be able to use him anymore.
"Of course I have thought of many ways..." Li Qingluo's eyes were a little wandering, and she was about to continue, but was interrupted by Li Xianyu.
"Come back to me when you can't figure it out."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Li Qingluo's face froze, she stared at Li Xianyu's back, grinding her teeth secretly.
…
The shore of Taihu Lake.
Granny Yu, the Western twins, Fu Minyi and others from the Lingjiu Palace gathered on the shore, looking at the luxurious ship that was getting further and further away.
"Looking at Li Xianyu's strength alone, Mrs. Wang must be very strong, most likely on the same level as Tong Lao." Granny Yu said in a low voice.
"Then if I stay with the child... will it be dangerous?" Zhu Jian, the eldest child, had a worried look on his face.
Fu Minyi looked at Taihu Lake, a little lost in thought, recalling the scene of that night in her mind.
"Probably not." Granny Yu analyzed, "Tong Lao's skills are still there. No matter how strong Mrs. Wang is, she can't be much stronger than Tong Lao."
"What if Child Elder... returns to youth again?" Lan Jian, the sibling, whispered.
Fu Minyi came back to her senses and looked at Granny Yu. She was also very worried about Tianshan Child Elder.
Granny Yu smiled lightly and said, "Do you really think that Child Elder will stay with Mrs. Wang?"
"This..." The Western twins and Fu Minyi were both stunned.
"If Child Elder really wants to stay with Mrs. Wang, we people will never know that Child Elder is here." Granny Yu whispered, "Tong Elder is chasing away wolves and devouring tigers. When the time comes, it will really be time to rejuvenate. At that time, no one in the world will know where Tong Lao is."
