I don’t know if it’s Li Shiyin’s illusion, but it seems that the New Year atmosphere in Danyang City this year is particularly weak.
Danyang is a huge city with hundreds of thousands of people living there, but it feels deserted.
There are many people walking on the street, but few of them talk loudly; there are sounds, but it is not lively enough.
"Strange..." Li Shiyin frowned and asked Li Shiwen, who was choosing accessories at a roadside stall, "Why are you all so serious?"
"What?" Li Shiwen picked up a hair accessory and turned to ask Li Shiyin, "Do you think this looks good? Is it suitable for Zhenzhen?"
"Hey, it looks good, and it suits you." Li Shiyin said perfunctorily, pointing at the people on the street, "People on the street, everyone is so dull, why? The New Year is coming soon, aren't you happy?"
Li Shiwen casually put the hair accessory on his head. He looked in the direction of Li Shiyin's finger and saw that everyone on the street was worried.
Of course he knew what caused the people in Danyang City to become like this.
Because there is a war.
Xuan Qin is becoming increasingly powerful and ambitious. Taking advantage of the fact that Northern Chu is weak due to the disaster, it will attack the border with iron cavalry. It will also try to win over Dayan and Yanhan, and teach these two neighboring countries to put pressure on Northern Chu. If this wave of Xuan Qin's invasion is not handled well, Northern Chu will be in danger of extinction.
Li Shiwen smiled, but did not answer Li Shiyin's question. Instead, he pointed at himself and asked with a smile, "How is it? Does it look good?"
He was a rough man of 1.9 meters tall, wearing a girl's hair accessory and making seductive gestures. He was as disgusting and scary as could be.
"Hey, you're so disgusting!" Li Shiyin curled her lips and shook her head, reaching out to take off the hair accessories on Li Shiwen's head.
Li Shiwen let Li Shiyin snatch the hair accessories while he continued to look for them at the stall.
While trying on other hair accessories, he casually asked, "When will you return to Daojianmen?"
"?" Li Shiyin frowned when she heard Li Shiwen ask this.
Because a few days ago, my mother also asked her when she would go back. In the past, they never asked about this, because this was her home and she could stay as long as she wanted. But this year, one by one, they asked her when she would leave, which was really strange.
"Let's talk about it after the New Year!" She replied, and then asked Li Shiwen, "Why do you ask that?"
Li Shiwen was stunned and asked, "Who else asked you?"
"Mom, she also asked me when I would return to the mountains."
"Oh..." Li Shiwen smiled, "Everyone cares about you, what's so strange about that?"
Li Shiyin shook her head, picked up a purple headband from the stall and put it on her head, and said to Li Shiwen: "You buy it for Zhenzhen, and you have to buy it for me too."
"Haha!" Li Shiwen sneered, "Pay for it yourself..."
However, Li Shiyin didn't listen to him. She took the hairpin, turned around and went into the crowd, leaving Li Shiwen alone in the wind.
...He still has to pay.
The two siblings walked and stopped on the street, played for the whole morning, and did not return home until noon.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the housekeeper waiting anxiously in front of the screen wall. Before they had time to ask, the housekeeper said to Li Shiyin in a hurry: "Miss, the Sword God has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sword God?" Li Shiyin felt strange at first, then she realized there was a Northern Chu Sword God Jiang Xiaobai, so she was very curious, "What is he waiting for me to do?"
But it was useless for her to ask, how could the housekeeper know such a thing?
The Sword God of Northern Chu was extremely famous in the mortal world of Northern Chu. His arrival made the entire Li Mansion solemn, and the air was filled with murderous intent.
Everyone in the palace was on high alert. Even though the soldiers who had served as servants on the battlefield held weapons in their hands, there was fear in their eyes.
Li Zhan, although he was the general of Northern Chu and a person who could compete with Cheng Lixue; but when the Sword God of Northern Chu arrived, he still overwhelmed the entire Li Mansion and made it difficult for them to breathe.
Along the way, everything she saw and heard was as if they were facing a great enemy, which made Li Shiyin feel puzzled. She quietly asked Li Shiwen: "Why are they so scared?"
Li Shiwen had seen Jiang Xiaobai's methods before, so he was serious at this time. He replied: "That's the Sword God, who wouldn't be afraid?"
For Bei Chu, the word "Sword God" is enough.
"Didn't I tell you? He's a wimp." Li Shiyin asked doubtfully.
"I still remember the flying swords in the sky, killing thousands of soldiers in an instant." Li Shiwen shook his head, "This is the Sword God."
Li Shiyin rolled her eyes and asked Li Shiwen, "Are you afraid of me?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm much better than him." Li Shiyin said seriously.
Li Shiwen looked at his sister a few more times. He knew that she was somewhat proud and complacent, so he warned her: "Shiyin, although you have some talent and although you were lucky enough to tie with the Sword God two years ago, you must remember to remain humble and respect and fear the strong and the seniors."
"Alas!" Li Shiyin sighed, "There's no way to save you."
The brother and sister were talking when they came to the entrance of the lobby for receiving distinguished guests. They looked inside and saw only their father Li Zhan and the Sword God Jiang Xiaobai, who were talking to each other.
Li Shiyin discovered that although her father Li Zhan was sitting in the main seat, his attitude was very humble in his words and deeds.
This made her frown and feel very unhappy.
In Li Shiyin's eyes, Jiang Xiaobai was just a rookie that she could easily kill. But now, such a rookie came to her house to show off, and actually gained the respect and fear of her father, brother and other people she cared about. Who could stand this? If other people in the cultivation world knew about this, where would she put her pretty face?
Therefore, the aura Li Shiyin brought when she entered the room was already very wrong. She was no longer the eldest daughter of the Li family, but the peerless female swordsman.
Li Shiwen entered the house first and was about to salute when he suddenly felt a murderous aura behind him. Before he turned around, he was pushed aside by Li Shiyin who followed him into the house.
"What's the matter?" Li Shiyin stepped forward and questioned Jiang Xiaobai in a very arrogant manner.
Li Shiwen saw that the situation was not right, so he was eager to say something nice, but then he saw Li Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat, winking at him. He hesitated and left.
"The battle three years ago..." Jiang Xiaobai saw that Li Shiyin was not friendly, but he was not willing to admit defeat. He held the demeanor of a sword god, raised his chin, and confronted Li Shiyin, "We were evenly matched. Three years have passed, and I have recovered to my peak strength. How about we fight again?"
Just hearing what Jiang Xiaobai said, Li Shiyin wanted to laugh. She could hardly maintain her image as a cold and aloof swordsman.
Firstly, no one wins or loses means that if they were not sparring but were on opposite sides and fighting, he would be killed by her instantly; secondly, it took him three years to get over that defeat, and with such a state of mind, he was weak as a scum; finally, it took him three years to recover his original strength, but she, Li Shiyin, had become so much stronger in the past three years that she herself couldn't even tell.
Even so, Jiang Xiaobai still wanted to fight her.
In Daojianmen, if someone as powerful as Jiang Xiaobai wanted to challenge Li Shiyin, he would have to line up from the main peak to the front of the mountain gate. But at home, Li Shiyin decided to give him face and said, "I'll give you a chance."
Li Shiyin's arrogant attitude made Jiang Xiaobai frown, but he finally nodded and said, "It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day!"
