Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 200 Lotus Tower (3)

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, illuminating the tranquility of the room. At this time, the two got up, washed up and had breakfast before preparing to go out.

At this time, Ji Xiao accompanied Li Xiangyi to sit beside the carriage outside the house. When the carriage slowly passed the dock, Ji Xiao suddenly signaled Li Xiangyi to stop.

She jumped off the carriage and walked towards the stalls filled with all kinds of seafood, choosing them with great interest. The sellers looked at the two strangers in fancy clothes and were not particularly surprised.

Perhaps they thought that the young man and woman were just rich kids who came out to experience the life of ordinary people, or maybe they were just wandering around the world. After all, most wandering people were not particular about details and behaved strangely.

Ever since Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Sigu Sect, fell into the sea and disappeared in the battle of the East China Sea, wave after wave of so-called "jianghu people" from all corners of the world have flocked here in the past few years.

However, most of these people were just a mob, and without a leader, they acted recklessly, causing great suffering to the local people and causing many innocent lives to be lost during this period. Because of this, the local residents had long lost interest in exploring these outsiders and were unwilling to easily cause trouble.

Therefore, as long as they are paid, they will generally choose to sell. After all, for those of them who are struggling to make a living, money is not important in the face of life; similarly, dignity is not important in the face of money. Everything is for survival.

After Ji Xiao bought the seafood and left, the fishermen finally put their minds at ease.

After leaving the bustling East China Sea, Li Xiangyi drove the carriage to a deserted place. After arriving at the destination, he and Ji Xiao got off the carriage and skillfully put away the horses and carriages.

At this time, it was noon and the sun was already high in the center of the sky.

So, the two decided to take a short rest here and have a simple lunch before setting off on their journey again.

Since Ji Xiao didn't know the exact route and direction, Li Xiangyi said after clearing the traces left by the two of them: "Xiao Xiao, let me take you to meet Master's wife next."

Ji Xiao nodded obediently and asked curiously, "Okay, Xiangyi, based on the current situation, how long will it take us to reach our destination?"

Li Xiangyi thought for a moment and replied, "If we take into account the time spent on rest and purchasing sacrificial supplies, it will probably take about three to four days in total!"

"Is that so? Then I'd better go with you, it will be faster. When we get there, we can buy some daily necessities for Master's Wife, needles and thread for mending clothes, and maybe... buying a few ready-made clothes would be a good choice!"

"No problem, everything is up to you. Normally, you are the one who arranges these things, and I just need to do it. Naturally, I will follow your arrangements this time as well."

"Yeah, by the way, don't forget to remind me to buy some fruit then."

"Don't worry, I've written them all down."

After careful consideration and careful planning, and after discussing in detail the matters to be done in a few days, the two of them set out together on the journey to Master Li Xiangyi.

Finally, their hard work paid off. After three days of travel, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where their master's sect was located on a sunny afternoon - a quiet and peaceful town.

Before they approached the city gate, they could see the towering city wall from afar, like a giant guarding the peace. Perhaps because they were too tired from the long journey, or perhaps because they wanted to avoid the crowd, when they were still some distance away from the city gate, they both stopped to rest. At this moment, Ji Xiao summoned two horses from the space in his pocket with ease.

They mounted their horses and continued forward, and soon they arrived at the city gate. However, they did not ride directly into the city, but chose to dismount and lead their horses inside.

Therefore, after getting off the horse, Li Xiangyi turned around and said to Ji Xiao gently: "Xiaoxiao, give me the reins, I will lead them, you just need to hold my hand tightly, and don't get separated."

Ji Xiao nodded obediently, handed the reins to Li Xiangyi, and held his fingers tightly together. Then, she clung to Li Xiangyi like a docile kitten and slowly walked into the city.

You know, there are a lot of people coming and going near the city gate, and if you are not careful, you may get lost. Therefore, even with such caution, Li Xiangyi was still worried and always protected Ji Xiao in his chest, fearing that she would be hurt in the slightest.

After all, in the eyes of someone who loves you deeply, no matter how strong and capable you are on weekdays, as long as the person you love is by your side, they will feel worried and concerned. Just as the ancients said: "Love gives rise to fear, and fear gives rise to worry." This emotion is both deep and sincere.

When a person feels that others cherish and care about them, even the most ordinary little things can fill their hearts with happiness and sweetness. Perhaps just a greeting, a smile or a silent company is enough to make her feel extremely warm and satisfied.

Because of this love, every moment in life becomes extra precious; because of this concern, the distance between each other becomes closer. In this complicated world, being able to have such a pure and beautiful relationship is undoubtedly one of the greatest fortunes in life.

Therefore, Ji Xiao especially cherishes Li Xiangyi's feelings for her, and she also responds to him with the same enthusiasm.

And in every relationship in the past, Ji Xiao responded to the other person's love in the same way.

After being away from the complicated, noisy and bustling outer city, Li Xiangyi finally felt a little relaxed. Ji Xiao stared at the quiet and peaceful town in front of him, with an irrepressible excitement in his eyes.

She leaned against Li Xiangyi, looked around curiously, and finally said expectantly: "Xiangyi, if you have time in the future, can you take me to visit this place carefully?"

Hearing Ji Xiao's request, Li Xiangyi hesitated for a moment, but quickly responded: "Okay, I'll bring you here again in a few days and let you enjoy the trip."

However, if Ji Xiao could notice the change in his expression at this moment, perhaps she would be able to sense his inner uneasiness and guilt.

In fact, Li Xiangyi had never set foot on the first step of the mountain in the past. Most of the time, his master and his mistress would go down the mountain together to purchase items. The only time he went down the mountain was when he passed by here after completing his apprenticeship, and he did not stay for long at that time. So he was not familiar with this small town, but he did not intend to say it.
