On the side, Li Yao stared at the scene in amazement, and it took him a while to find his voice.
"Madam, you saved my life. Li Yao will never forget it. I don't know what your name is. I will repay you in the future."
Zhixia was stunned and looked at Li Yao again with a strange look.
"What did you say? Your name is Li Yao?"
Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, not forgetting to lift up a strand of bangs beside his ear, making a gesture that he thought was extremely handsome, and bowed to Zhixia.
"I am Li Yao, from Longxi, the second child in my family. I don't know your name, young lady. Where are you going, walking alone in the middle of the night?"
"Longxi Li family?" Zhixia suddenly interrupted him, a strange look flashed in her almond eyes, "Who is Li Lingyun to you?"
Li Yao's eyes suddenly widened: "That's my aunt, do you know her?"
Zhixia's mouth twitched wildly. She looked at the narcissistic and talkative man in front of her speechlessly, her temples throbbing.
In terms of relationship, isn't the person in front of me my cousin who is related to me by blood?
But this...
Zhixia closed her eyes. She didn’t want to look. She couldn’t bear to look.
She turned around and left with a cold face: "Since everything is fine, let's say goodbye."
"Hey wait!"
Li Yao caught up with her in one step. "It's too dangerous for you to be alone, girl. You haven't told me your name or where you are going. Those White Lotus sect members are not good people. Now that I have met them, how can I just sit there and watch?"
Zhixia paused, veins popping out on his forehead: "You don't need to mind your own business."
He is clearly a fool, yet he dares to argue with others in public in a restaurant.
Should we say he is stupid or naive?
The storyteller in the restaurant just now and those thugs were obviously in the same group.
Only this group of fools would be so foolish as to provoke us without any preparation.
If she hadn't happened to pass by tonight, there would probably be an extra corpse in the moat outside Youzhou City tomorrow.
"How can this be a trivial matter?" Li Yaoyi retorted righteously and stood in front of Zhixia.
"It is our duty to help those in need when we see injustice. Moreover, facts have proven that God is on the side of justice. If it weren't for the girl tonight..."
“Shua——”
Zhixia suddenly put her dagger against his throat, the tip of the sword gleaming coldly in the moonlight: "If you follow me again, I'll let you experience what 'danger' means."
Li Yao swallowed his saliva, but couldn't help but give up: "Miss, you are very skilled in martial arts, but I am quite familiar with Youzhou City. How about this? We can each take what we need..."
Zhixia was almost amused by this man's shamelessness.
She was just about to knock the annoying guy unconscious with a palm strike, when suddenly her ears moved -
She heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the alley.
"Oh no! They are pursuers from the White Lotus Sect."
Her face changed, and without saying a word, she grabbed Li Yao by the collar and jumped onto the wall, "Shut up if you don't want to die!"
As soon as the two figures disappeared into the shadows, a dozen White Lotus sect members holding torches rushed into the alley, led by the big man who had been hit in the knee by Zhixia just now.
He covered his knees and cursed, "Search! That kid can't get far!"
On the roof, Li Yao didn't dare to breathe and secretly glanced at Zhixia who was so close.
The girl's delicate profile looked like a jade carving in the moonlight, but her brows were furrowed, and she was obviously in a very bad mood.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhixia lowered her voice and threatened: "Once we get rid of them, you and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore."
She now regretted extremely why she saved this idiot just now and caused herself so much trouble.
Below, several believers searched around but didn't find anyone, so they left cursing.
When the footsteps finally disappeared, Zhixia immediately released her hand that was holding Li Yao and jumped lightly off the roof.
"Goodbye now." She was about to leave without looking back.
"Wait!" Li Yao hurriedly caught up, "Miss, please stay!"
Zhixia turned around abruptly and drew her dagger again: "Follow me one more step, and I will..."
"I know the secret base of the White Lotus!"
Li Yao had to resort to his ultimate move in a hurry. He raised his hands high, "They have an underground incense hall in the south of the city, which is used to detain people who oppose them!"
Zhixia's dagger paused slightly.
Seeing that she was somewhat relenting, Li Yao quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Also, I know a few merchants who were persecuted by the White Lotus Sect. They know the layout of the city very well. If the young lady is also interested in the White Lotus Sect, perhaps we can cooperate..."
Zhixia's eyes darkened slightly, and he slowly put the sword into the scabbard.
“Get to the point!”
Li Yao's eyes lit up. "Tomorrow, the followers will besiege Langanju. We can act separately. I will be responsible for contacting the merchants to create chaos. Girl, you are a martial arts expert, you can..."
"How do you know I'm going to Langanju?" Zhixia tilted her head to look at him with sharp eyes.
Could it be that this guy is a seemingly honest man who is actually a sinister person who is pretending to be a pig but is actually a tiger?
"I guessed." Li Yao showed a provocative smile: "When those people said they wanted to cause trouble for Langanju, you were about to burst out with murderous intent."
Those believers did grumble a few times when they failed in their search. It was at that time that Li Yao keenly noticed that Zhixia's aura had changed.
Zhixia was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar: "Listen, if you dare to leak even a word..."
"I swear!" Li Yao immediately raised three fingers. "If I break this oath, I will never be able to marry in my lifetime!"
