As expected...
Jiang Li said she still had a lot to do, starting the next day...
She was really busy as a dog.
Designing and rearranging the downstairs layout is inherently a very time-consuming task.
It took her three days to finally plan out the area downstairs.
After the items were delivered, it took another two days of work downstairs to finally get everything completely fixed...
Then...
And then...
The day she returns to Xuanmen.
I have to say...
Jiang Li was so busy that she almost forgot.
If Gong Yu hadn't told her, she would have completely forgotten about this matter.
"Third Senior Brother, can we not go back?" Jiang Li looked at Gong Yu expectantly.
What do you think?
Jiang Li's head immediately drooped.
Okay...
Go back then.
"Now it's not just you and me going back..." Gong Yu added "kindly" when he saw Jiang Li's lifeless look.
"What?" Jiang Li looked bewildered.
"And..." Gong Yu sighed slightly, "Lu Jiming is going too, and of course your little pet and Lu Shiyan will have to go as well."
Jiang Li: "..."
"Can't we just not go?" Jiang Li pressed her temples, looking a bit of a headache. "What would we do with them going to our sect? Are we going on a trip?"
“No.” Gong Yu refused decisively. “This is the first year, so none of them can be absent. In the future… perhaps we can relax the requirements a bit, but in this first year… they still have to report to the patriarch and show their faces.”
Jiang Li: "..."
Okay...
She couldn't change the decision her third senior brother made, so she decided to just bear with it for now.
that's all……
Jiang Li sent a message to Lu Shiyan.
The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect: Ayan! I have something very serious to tell you!
Y: ? ? ? You say.
The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect: Um... are you free lately?
Y: I'm free.
The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect: Aren't you supposed to be very busy lately? Where did you find the time?
Y: When you're busy, I'll keep you busy so that when you're free and need me, I can keep you company...
The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect: ...
That's a lot...
It's strangely alluring.
But that scoundrel...
That completely shut down anything else she wanted to say.
Xuanmen's Beloved Little Ancestor: Okay, do you remember what my third senior brother said before, that he wanted to go back to Xuanmen to pay respects?
Y: Of course I remember, Jiang Jiang, don't worry, I've prepared almost everything I need for the visit.
The Pampered Little Ancestor of the Mystic Clan: What should I prepare for a visit?! What should I prepare?
Y: It's just some formalities, Jiang Jiang doesn't need to worry about it.
Jiang Li: "???"
Never mind, whatever makes you happy.
Since Lu Shiyan was already prepared to go back with them, Jiang Li naturally didn't say anything more.
Anyway, if he wants to go, there's no point in stopping him.
after all……
She doesn't have as much say as her third senior brother.
I'm heartbroken and melancholy.
Lu Shiyan agreed, and Jiang Li also made a token inquiry to Fu Ying.
Fu Ying looked utterly resistant. "Isn't it inappropriate for you to take me, a Hou, with you when you return to the Xuanmen?"
“Our sect doesn’t care much about those things…” Jiang Li patted Fu Ying’s shoulder earnestly. “For us, character is more important than race. So even if you are a Hou, as long as you are a kind-hearted Hou who does not do evil, you will be very popular in our sect. After all… how could anyone not like someone who is so good-looking?”
Fu Ying: "..."
Do people always judge others by their appearance, regardless of the era?
Does being good-looking guarantee you extra popularity?
If that's the case...
Fu Ying said that it was not impossible for her to make the trip.
"Alright," Fu Ying finally agreed to Jiang Li's request.
When the group set off to return to Xuanmen...
Three cars were driven.
Three men, each driving a car.
Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan rode in the same car.
Fu Ying originally wanted to ride in the same car as Lu Jiming, but Gong Yu intercepted her and made her ride in his own car.
Fu Ying: "???"
They weren't very close, were they?
“Mr. Gong…” Fu Ying looked up at Gong Yu, and said somewhat uncertainly, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
“Although our sect is rather casual, …” Gong Yu thought for a moment, then his expression became more serious, “there are still some rules. I thought Miss Fu Ying might not be very familiar with them, so I planned to explain them to you on the way back.”
Fu Ying's lips twitched involuntarily. "Jiang Li can teach me this."
Gong Yu's expression became somewhat indescribable. "It's good enough that she doesn't make mistakes herself. How can I expect her to educate you? To help you understand?"
Fu Ying: "..."
If that's the case...
Let the person in front of her teach her.
It's better than having Jiang Li teach you, only to have her make mistakes later.
The two of them started teaching, while Jiang Li sat next to Lu Shiyan, feeling somewhat drowsy.
Lu Shiyan glanced at her every now and then, afraid that she might bump her head.
“Jiang Jiang…” Lu Shiyan sighed, unable to resist teasing, “Did you go thief last night?”
"Hmm..." Jiang Li absentmindedly hummed in response, then added, "I'm going to steal someone away."
"Hmm?" Lu Shiyan raised an eyebrow. "Who did you steal from?"
"Well... well..." Jiang Li's eyes flickered, and she began to lie to Lu Shiyan with a serious expression, "It was just that in the dead of night, I stole from whoever I happened to see..."
“Oh…” Lu Shiyan nodded expressionlessly.
Jiang Li: "???"
Is this how this person reacts?
"If you weren't constantly rubbing against me like you're a power bank, I probably would have believed you," Lu Shiyan said in a low voice.
Jiang Li: "..."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Li said angrily, "Since you already know what's going on with me, why did you bother asking me?"
"I'm just curious, what did you do to make yourself so tired?" Lu Shiyan said, then took a bag from the side and handed it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took it suspiciously. "What is this?"
"This is a personal item I specially slipped in for you," Lu Shiyan replied.
He used to cook delicious food for Jiang Li often, which was no problem at all.
But with the sudden appearance of an even more eccentric food enthusiast, Lu Shiyan naturally wouldn't play the role of a kind-hearted person.
It's only natural to cook for his future wife, but cooking for someone else...
What's going on then?
so……
Lu Shiyan would only prepare it for Jiang Li secretly.
As for Fuying...
He can reimburse the expenses, that's enough.
She doesn't receive the privilege of having food prepared by hand unless it's a party.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Li immediately opened the box with delight.
Inside were several of Jiang Li's favorite snacks, made by Lu Shiyan.
Jiang Li was overjoyed. "Thank you, Ayan."
"You're welcome..." Lu Shiyan's voice deepened, "However..."
"But what?"
"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obliging, and he who eats another's food is obliging to feed him..." Lu Shiyan paused, then continued, "Jiang Jiang accepted the food I offered as a bribe, so you must put in a good word for me before the patriarch..."
