Chapter 223 Lotus Tower (26)
Chapter 223 Lotus Tower (26)
After a long month of travel, the group finally arrived at the small town at the foot of Genting Mountain.
Because they were riding in a rather large horse-drawn carriage and they were not traveling day and night, they arrived almost at the same time as Fang Duobing's mother and the team of guards she led.
Before they got close to the city gate, Fang Duobing saw from afar his mother leading a group of guards riding horses ahead. So he stood up excitedly, and on the shaft of the cart, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Mother! Mother! I'm behind you!"
A guard at the back of the team heard the shouting from behind, turned around, and saw his silly young man standing there, shaking his head and shouting.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly. He wanted to ignore it and continue to move forward, but the other party was his young master after all. He could only sigh helplessly and said, "Young master, please wait a moment. I will go forward and tell the lady." Before he finished speaking, he had already driven his horse forward.
"Oh, okay!" Fang Duobing responded happily upon seeing this.
At this moment, Li Xiangyi felt the many gazes from all around him. He stretched out his hands to cover his face and shouted viciously to the people around him in a low voice: "Hurry up and sit down. You don't feel ashamed, but I do!"
"Ah? What's wrong with me..." The person being scolded looked innocent.
"You're still asking what happened? Tell me what happened! Sit down right now!" Li Xiangyi continued to scold.
Before he finished speaking, a man came riding on horseback. He Xiaohui looked at her silly son and shouted helplessly, "Fang Xiaobao~"
After hearing his mother's voice and seeing her, Fang Duobing immediately forgot what Li Xiangyi had just said. He then stood up excitedly, walked towards her and said, "Mom, mom, look, this is the legendary leader of the Sigumen Sect, Li Xiangyi!" Fang Duobing was so excited that he danced with joy.
"Okay, mother understands. Hello, Master Li." He Xiaohui nodded to Li Xiangyi to express her greetings.
"Mrs. Fang, you are too polite. You can just call me Li Xiangyi. I am no longer the leader of a sect now, and the Sigu Sect was disbanded ten years ago." Li Xiangyi replied calmly.
"Okay, Master Li." He Xiaohui responded, turned to look at Fang Duobing and continued, "Let's go into the city first. There should be fewer people ahead now."
"Yeah." The two of them responded softly, and then they separated and walked towards the city gate. After watching the people leave, Li Xiangyi casually threw the whip in his hand to his side, and then loosened the reins in his hand. Then, he stood up and walked straight into the house.
After entering the house, Li Xiangyi went straight to the second floor. When he came to the terrace, he saw Ji Xiao lying there quietly, reading a book leisurely. The sunlight shone on her, reflecting a layer of light, making her look particularly beautiful.
Li Xiangyi walked slowly to Ji Xiao's side with light footsteps. When he was close behind her, he spoke softly, "Xiaoxiao, we should go downstairs now. We will soon enter the city."
Hearing Li Xiangyi's voice, Ji Xiao gently put down the book in her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a charming smile. She raised her head, looked at Li Xiangyi tenderly, and stretched out a slender jade hand.
Seeing this, Li Xiangyi carefully reached out his hand and held the soft little hand tightly. Then, he skillfully used his strength to gently and steadily pull Ji Xiao up from the couch.
Ji Xiao stood up and tidied her slightly messy clothes, while Li Xiangyi picked up the book she had just read and put it away carefully. After doing this, they walked side by side to the stairs and headed downstairs.
