Chapter 16: Talk on a Full Moon Night
At Zunling Tailor Shop on the main street of Yilong Town, Li Wudao looked at the interior decoration of the shop. In the shop of more than 300 square meters, there were still about 20 customers choosing clothes.
Liu Yifan stood aside with his head lowered and his face submissive, without any of his former arrogance, which made Li Wudao just laugh.
What is a warrior? They battle the heavens, the earth, and seek the extraordinary. While warriors are human, they have long surpassed ordinary people.
Liu Yifan was just a commoner, not on the same level as Li Wudao. Now that he had apologized, how could Li Wudao be angry with him? He ignored Liu Yifan and walked into Zunling Tailor Shop with Qi Meng.
"Shopkeeper Ge, whichever one you like, I will pack it for you immediately." Zhou Peng said with a smile on his face and a sense of closeness.
Li Wudao nodded and asked Qi Meng to choose clothes.
Rows of well-made clothes, displayed on the racks, caught Qi Meng's attention. When she heard Li Wudao's words, she instantly jumped for joy.
After all, she is a little girl, she has no resistance to beautiful things, she throws herself into the beautiful clothes
In the sea of flowers, there is a feeling of lingering and looking back.
"Shopkeeper Ge, don't you want to pick out some clothes?" Zhou Peng took time to take care of Ge Ren, and seeing that he was indifferent, he asked in confusion.
"No need for that. Just help me get some green robes." Li Wudao didn't even look at Zhou Peng. His eyes were fixed on Qi Meng from beginning to end. Just as Zhou Peng was about to choose clothes for Li Wudao, he suddenly asked, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
Zhou Peng was stunned by Li Wudao's question. He didn't understand why Ge Ren suddenly brought up this. But since he was a guest, he replied, "What does Shopkeeper Ge want from Shopkeeper Qian? He's at home taking care of his mother and hasn't seen any guests in the past month."
Support your elderly mother?
Li Wudao had a smile on his face. As far as he knew, Manager Qian's mother had passed away ten years ago.
"Call him over, I have something important to discuss with you!" Li Wudao said this as he looked at Qi Meng carefully choosing clothes.
"This..." Zhou Peng hesitated. Shopkeeper Qian was a big shot in Yilong Town. How could he meet him whenever he wanted? Although Zhou Peng couldn't afford to offend Li Wudao, he was obviously not on the same level as Shopkeeper Qian.
"Shopkeeper Ge, you may not know that Shopkeeper Qian has been taking care of his elderly mother for the past ten years and has never seen any visitors. Even when the three major families approached him, he flatly refused!" Zhou Peng said with an embarrassed look on his face, "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for me."
"Oh! It's not difficult." Li Wudao waved his hand, looking somewhat casual, yet said in an enigmatic manner: "Just tell him, we can talk on the night of the full moon!"
"A full-moon night talk?" Zhou Peng muttered to himself, wondering what Li Wudao was up to. While secretly laughing, he doubted that Shopkeeper Qian would be able to come. You have to know that the store currently has sufficient inventory, which was prepared by Shopkeeper Qian in advance to avoid being disturbed.
Just a few words, and you expect someone like Shopkeeper Qian to change his mind? That's ridiculous.
But in the end Zhou Peng couldn't persuade Li Wudao, so he asked a clerk to inform Manager Qian.
"In that case, please take a rest!" Seeing that Li Wudao had no intention of buying clothes, Zhou Peng arranged him in the rest area and prepared tea.
Li Wudao put it in the bamboo basket and drank tea while waiting for Qi Meng to choose clothes.
"Gan Guoren, do you think it looks good?" Qi Meng changed into a blue wide-sleeved fairy dress and turned around in front of Li Wudao.
Her waist, which was already barely wide enough to be held in one hand, became even more boneless and slender with the skirt's waist-cinching design. The cascading skirt made Qi Meng look like a fairy descending to earth, a truly breathtaking beauty.
"This girl is so pretty!"
“I wish I could be this beautiful!”
"Shopkeeper Li is so lucky!"
The customers in Zun Ling's tailor shop were talking about it. Many men's eyes sparkled when they saw Qi Meng, and the women were even more envious.
This made Qi Meng particularly happy, and she waited for Li Wudao's praise.
Li Wudao stared blankly at it, without saying anything. He simply put the bamboo basket forward and whispered, "I bought it!"
"Hmph! Stuffed candied haws." Qi Meng said angrily because she didn't receive any praise from Li Wudao.
It seemed as if all the praise from others was not as good as Li Wudao's affirmation.
Qi Meng picked out four sets of clothes in front of Li Wudao, which took her a full hour. Finally, she seemed tired and sat down next to Li Wudao.
Li Wudao poured her a cup of tea and waited for Manager Qian to arrive.
"Hey! The stuff here is pretty good. Even if that guy offends you, he shouldn't call you boss, right?" Qi Meng said this as she watched Li Wudao waiting as if nothing had happened.
Li Wudao turned to look at Qi Meng. The girl was mumbling to herself, obviously a little impatient, and wanted to urge Li Wudao to leave.
Looking at Qi Meng's delicate and beautiful facial features, Li Wudao thought of ten years ago.
At that time, Li Wudao was still a little beggar wandering the streets. He knew nothing and had to beg in the slums. As you can imagine, he was starving. Just when Li Wudao was about to die, a little girl came to him like an angel.
The little girl was dressed elegantly, and it was obvious that she was from a wealthy family. She was holding half a string of candied haws. Seeing that Li Wudao was starving, she gave him half a string of candied haws out of kindness.
Li Wudao survived because of that half string of candied haws, and that angelic girl was the young Qi Meng.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Qi Meng waved her jade hand in front of Li Wudao, pulling his thoughts back.
"What flowers are there? You are more beautiful than flowers." Li Wudao took a sip of tea and said seriously.
In an instant, Qi Meng's mood seemed to be as bright as if she had drunk honey, and her face was filled with a smile as beautiful as a flower, making all the other beauties pale in comparison.
"Manager Li, I'm afraid Manager Qian won't come, you see..." Zhou Peng walked to Li Wudao and touched the door with his right hand, the meaning was self-evident.
He was an expert in all kinds of things, and although his face was expressionless, he was already smiling brightly in his heart. He thought Li Wudao was overestimating his abilities, thinking that a mere shopkeeper wanted to meet a big shot like Qian Zhanggui.
"Huh! Where is that man! Take me to see him!" Just as Zhou Peng was laughing in his heart, a panting voice startled him.
A man came rushing in, sweating profusely. He was dressed in fancy clothes and wore a jade ring on his thumb. It was obvious that he was a big shot from a prominent family.
"Shopkeeper Qian, that man is here!" Zhou Peng recognized the person. He didn't expect that Shopkeeper Qian would run all the way here to see Li Wudao, which was against his usual behavior, and he was sweating profusely and so out of control.
This shocked Zhou Peng!
Li Wudao was just a small shopkeeper. How could he have such great merits that made Shopkeeper Qian so anxious to see him? Even the three great families didn't have such a grand display.
"It's you, kid?" Shopkeeper Qian looked at Li Wudao with a strange look on his face. Suddenly, he saw Qi Meng beside him and was shocked. He hurriedly said cautiously, "Let's go upstairs and talk in detail!"
Li Wudao looked at Shopkeeper Qian's reaction and his profound cultivation, and he had a clue in his mind. He turned around and said to Qi Meng, "Go buy some more clothes. Don't make my Meng'er suffer."
When Qi Meng heard what Li Wudao said, she felt happy instantly. She didn't care what Li Wudao was going upstairs to do and went straight to choose clothes.
Shopkeeper Qian touched his beard and looked at Li Wudao's action with some confusion.
Li Wudao gave Manager Qian a meaningful smile, bowed, and the two went upstairs.
