Chapter 364 Don't be so defensive
In the yard, Shu Ya was sitting at a stone table under a tree drinking tea.
Hearing Lan Xiaoxiao's voice, he stood up with a look of joy on his face, "Xiaoxiao?"
As soon as Lan Xiaoxiao rushed in, she threw herself into Shu Ya's arms, her tone coquettish, "Mother, did you miss me?"
Shu Ya smiled and rubbed Lan Xiaoxiao's head, "Yes."
Lan Xiaoxiao was satisfied, she stood up and pulled Shu Ya, "Mother, A Li and the others are here too!"
Shu Ya was a little surprised and asked, "Xiao Li and the others are here too?"
Luo Li smiled and bowed, "Sorry to bother you, aunt."
Bei Mingyu and the others also bowed and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you."
"It's not really a bother." Shu Ya raised her hand gently. "What brings you here this time?"
She turned her gaze and saw Yue Hanchuan and Ye Yichen behind her. Her eyes moved slightly, but she said nothing.
Luo Li smiled and said, "This trip is for experience. I heard that the other side of the cloud is a dangerous place on the mainland, so we also want to come and see it."
Shu Ya was a little surprised, then she smiled, "I see, what a great ambition."
Lan Xiaoxiao scratched her head and said, "I thought you would disagree, mother."
Shu Ya smiled and shook her head. "If it were a few years ago, I would definitely not agree, but now you've grown up, and your decision will be supported by your mother."
Lan Xiaoxiao chuckled, buried herself in Shu Ya's arms again, and said coquettishly, "Mom, you are so kind."
Shu Ya straightened her up and tapped her forehead, "Your friends are all here, and you have no shame!"
Lan Xiaoxiao covered her forehead and smiled foolishly.
Shu Ya shook her head helplessly and looked at Luo Li and said, "There's no rush to go to the other side of the cloud. Stay at home for a few days."
Luo Li smiled and nodded, "Then I'll bother you for a few days. I just happen to be preparing some things."
Shu Ya nodded and raised her hand, "Xiying, take Xiaoli and the others to find a few courtyards."
Lan Xiaoxiao turned around and said, "I'm going too!"
Shu Ya nodded helplessly, "Okay."
Lan Xiying turned around first, "Everyone, please follow me."
Shu Ya sighed only after Luo Li and the others left.
She frowned slightly and looked at the two people who were standing there motionless. "You two, come with me."
Ye Yichen sighed, exchanged a glance with Yue Hanchuan, and followed resignedly.
On the other side, after walking out of the courtyard, Luo Li turned her head slightly and looked at the two figures disappearing from the team. Her eyes moved, and she pretended not to know and continued walking forward.
In the courtyard study.
Shu Ya pressed her forehead and asked, "When did you come back?"
Ye Yichen scratched his head, "Today."
Shu Ya was stunned and confused.
She looked at the two of them, frowned, and asked, "Do your respective tribes know that you've returned?"
Yue Hanchuan's coldness dissipated a little in front of his elders, "Not yet."
Ye Yichen chuckled, "Um, Aunt Shu, let's go back now!"
Shu Ya sighed, "Let's go back. A lot has happened recently."
Ye Yichen hesitated and said, "Luo Li's side..."
Shu Ya waved her hand and said, "I'll go explain to Xiao Li."
Ye Yichen immediately bowed, "Thank you so much, Aunt Shu! Please tell her that we will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
Shu Ya nodded, "Don't worry."
Ye Yichen nodded, took Yue Hanchuan's hand and bowed, saying, "Junior will take his leave."
Yue Hanchuan bowed politely and said, "Junior will take his leave."
After leaving the Lan family, the two went back to their respective clans.
Elsewhere, Lan Xiying brought Luo Li and the others to a courtyard. "Miss Luo, these two courtyards are connected, which is just right for you. I hope you don't mind."
Luo Li smiled and said, "The scenery is beautiful. It's a good place."
An Shuxue and the others also smiled and said, "Yes, it's really good."
Lan Xiying smiled sincerely and nodded to Luo Li and the others, "Okay, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything."
Lan Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "Xiying, go ahead. I'm here!"
After Lan Xiying left, the smile on Bei Mingyu's face faded, "Yue Hanchuan and Ye Yichen are gone."
Song Wanbai also frowned, "I just discovered it, it seems to have been left behind by Aunt Shu."
Lan Xiaoxiao scratched her head. "My mother should know the elders of both of them. Maybe she has something to tell them."
Luo Li walked to the stone table and sat down, then raised her eyes and asked, "Xiaoxiao, does this city have a name?"
Lan Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Not really..."
Her eyes lit up, "But we privately call it Wanling City."
Luo Li shook the cup in her hand slightly, "Wanling City..."
Bei Mingyu sat aside and said, "Since entering the city, the atmosphere in this city is indeed strange."
Lan Xiaoxiao blinked, "No, but I feel like our relationship has indeed deteriorated a bit. I guess it's because we haven't been communicating with each other recently."
Luo Li and the others held their foreheads in their hands, what a silly girl.
Lan Xiaoxiao scratched her head in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Luo Li smiled, "It's okay."
While a few people were chatting, Shu Ya walked in from outside.
Lan Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "Why are you here, mother?"
"How do you feel here?" Shu Ya walked over and asked with a smile, "If there's anything you need, just tell me directly and I'll have someone prepare it for you."
Luo Li stood up, smiled and shook her head, "Everything is complete, is there anything I can help you with, aunt?"
Shu Ya nodded and said, "The kids from the Yue and Ye families have gone home. I came to let you know. They said they'll be back before the day after tomorrow."
Luo Li's expression remained unchanged as she smiled and nodded, "Thank you for taking this trip, Auntie. We understand."
Shu Ya patted Lan Xiaoxiao's head and said to Luo Li, "Then I'll leave first."
Then he turned around and was about to leave.
"Auntie, please stay." Luo Li said, looking into Shu Ya's eyes, and said with a smile, "We want to go for a walk in the city, is that okay?"
Shu Ya was stunned. "Of course you can."
Her eyes moved, and she still warned, "Be careful not to conflict with anyone outside the Lan family."
Luo Li smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Aunt Shu, we know our limits."
Shu Ya also knew that Luo Li and the others were children who knew their limits, so she gave them a few instructions and left.
Lan Xiaoxiao took Luo Li's arm and said, "Want to go to the city to play? I'll take you there!"
A smile appeared in An Shuxue's eyes, "Okay."
Lan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to take a break? Are you tired?"
Bei Mingyu and the others shook their heads, "Yue Hanchuan's teleportation array brought us here, and it didn't take much effort."
Lan Xiaoxiao was delighted, "Then let's go!"
She hadn't been back for a long time and missed the food in the city.
On the other side, Luo Li and the others had just left the Lan family when Lan Xiying flew and landed in Shu Ya's courtyard.
He said respectfully to Shu Ya, "Madam, the young master has taken Miss Luo and the others out. Do you want me to..."
Shu Ya sighed, "Xiying, Luo Li and the others are Xiaoxiao's saviors. You can't be so defensive."
Lan Xiying frowned, "Madam, Xiying is not on guard against our benefactors, but the people in this city are very wary of strangers from outside. I'm afraid..."
