Chapter 891 Night

Luo Li seemed to sense something and turned her head slightly. Her clear eyes collided with Yue Qing's resentful gaze in the air, sparking silent sparks.

She curled her lips and looked at Xuan Mu, "Let's go back."

Xuan Mu glanced at Yue Qing calmly, "Do you need me to deal with her?"

Luo Li naturally wouldn't let him take action. If Xuan Mu took action, it would become a fight between Yueying Pavilion and Eclipse Territory. There was no need for Xuan Mu to get into this trouble.

She said calmly, "No need, go back."

Yueqing looked at the backs of the two people and clenched her fists tightly, her teeth clenched so tightly that blood almost seeped out. Her eyes were like burning flames, staring at the backs that were gradually moving away.

The whispers around her almost made her collapse.

The night wind blew past, causing her clothes to flutter, but it seemed unable to blow away the anger and unwillingness in her heart.

The air around her seemed to freeze, only her clenched fists turned white from excessive force, making a slight sound of bones rubbing against each other, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Just wait for me, I won’t let you off easily!

Young Master’s Mansion.

When Luo Li and Xuan Mu returned, Wen Xingyan had also returned.

Inside the Young Master's Mansion, the lights were dim, illuminating two figures walking side by side on the bluestone path.

Wen Xingyan sat by the window in the study, holding an ancient book in his hand. The light and shadow outside the window intertwined, shining on his well-defined face, making him look particularly deep.

Hearing the noise, Wen Xingyan immediately walked out and saw Luo Li and Xuan Mu as expected.

He smiled gently, "How was your shopping today?"

Luo Li saw him and smiled as well, "Not bad."

Xuan Mu stretched and asked, "Is the meal ready?"

"It's done," Wen Xingyan twitched his lips, but couldn't help complaining, "Which spiritual master is like you? He has to eat three meals a day as long as he's at home."

Wen Xingyan led the two of them towards the dining room as he spoke. The lights in the dining room were warm, and the table was filled with delicious dishes with all kinds of colors, aromas and flavors, and steam was rising.

Luo Li sniffed the aroma of food in the air, "It smells so good."

Wen Xingyan touched her head and said, "Try it now."

Xuan Mu could no longer contain his excitement. He pulled over a chair and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat from a tempting dish. As he chewed, his expression of satisfaction was beyond words, as if all his fatigue was instantly dispelled by this meal.

"Great! Without this meal, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight."

Luo Li discovered that the people of the Continent of Gods were even more simple and honest than those of the Tianyuan Continent, especially the geniuses like Xuan Mu who were so talented that they hardly spent any time on cultivation. They were even more simple and honest.

He eats whatever he wants and sleeps whenever he wants, no different from ordinary people.

Luo Li gently picked up a piece of crystal clear egg tofu and put it into her mouth. The smooth touch and the perfect salty and fresh taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue, making her squint her eyes slightly.

Wen Xingyan was gently serving the dishes and occasionally chatting and laughing with the two of them. The dining room was filled with warmth, and the moonlight outside the window seemed to be attracted by this warmth, falling quietly and gently.

The meal was quickly finished and the three of them sat outside the yard.

Luo Li asked, "How long will the competition last?"

Wen Xingyan looked at her and said, "It usually ends within a week, but there are so many people coming this year, it might take a little longer than in previous years."

He glanced sideways, "Why are you interested in this?"

Luo Li crossed her hands behind her head and said, "After the competition, I want to go somewhere."

Xuan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Not leaving the city?"

Luo Li nodded, "Well, the pattern on the jade box I saw on the black market looks like a variation of the Luo family crest."

Wen Xingyan looked into the distance and said softly, "Go and take a look. Don't leave any regrets."

Luo Li chuckled, "After the competition is over, I will definitely go for a walk if I don't leave the city."

The three of them looked at each other and said nothing more, just sitting quietly.

The next day.

Wen Xingyan became busy again, and the people from Eclipse Territory also arrived, so Xuan Mu asked for leave from Luo Li.

At the same time, Lu Yao and Chi Yan also arrived in Wangu City.

Inside the inn, upon seeing Luo Li coming, Lu Yao immediately stood up, lowering her head, "Yes, benefactor."

Green-waisted's figure looked particularly thin in the interweaving of light and shadow. She lowered her head, tightly twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, looking nervous and expectant.

Luo Li's footsteps seemed to be infinitely amplified in her ears, and every step stepped on her heart.

Finally, Luo Li's voice rang out, "Chi Yan, how have you been lately?"

Chi Yan looked at Luo Li and smiled innocently, "Everything is fine, Master, don't worry."

Luo Li nodded, took out two ancient god inheritances and handed them to the two people, "One for each of you."

Chi Yan raised his hand and took one, "Thank you, Master!"

Lu Yao naturally knew what this thing was. She looked up and met Luo Li's eyes, stammering, "M-my benefactor, this is too precious, how can you give it to me..."

Lu Yao's hands trembled slightly, and the ancient god's inheritance flashed with a mysterious light in her eyes, an existence that was out of her reach.

Her eyes met Luo Li's. Luo Li's eyes were deep and warm, as if they could see into people's hearts.

She knew that her benefactor would have this kind of look in front of people he knew and trusted, which was impossible to resist.

Lu Yao's heartbeat quickened and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.

Luo Li raised her hand again, "Take it."

Lu Yao took a deep breath, as if she wanted to remember this kindness deeply, and then carefully took the inheritance. The coolness from her fingertips made her sober up instantly. This heavy gift was an honor she had never dared to imagine in her life.

Feeling the power within this ancient god's inheritance, Lu Yao suddenly looked up, with a gleam of disbelief in his eyes.

Her fingertips gently rubbed the round surface, and a warmth spread from her palm to her whole body. Two blushes gradually appeared on her cheeks. "Thank you, benefactor."

Luo Li frowned slightly, "Just call me Luo Li."

Benefactor, benefactor, it sounds weird.

At this time, Luyao remained silent, as if she always looked like this whenever she didn't want to do something.

Face things you don’t want to do with silence.

Luo Li didn't force it. She glanced at Chi Yan and said, "Chi Yan, there's still about half a month until the competition. You should stay here with Lu Yao. Tell me if anything happens."

Chi Yan could naturally be accepted anywhere, let alone since it was Luo Li who asked it.

He immediately made a gesture and said, "Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of her."

Lu Yao pursed her lips, but mustered up the courage to speak, "My benefactor, he will also come to this competition."

"Who?" Luo Li was a little confused at first, but then a figure flashed through her mind, and she suddenly realized:

"Is it the Xuanshuang Nangong family?"
