Chapter 514 I'm Back
Hearing this, Song Wanbai's eyes lit up instantly, like the brightest stars in the night sky. He stood up suddenly, and the hem of his long gown swirled slightly, filling the room with elegance.
"What?!"
Song Wanbai and Mu Ze almost jumped up at the same time and asked in disbelief, "Who did you say is back?!"
Makize's voice was filled with caution that he himself didn't even notice, "Is it, is it Ari?!"
The Luo family disciple nodded frantically, "That's right! It's Miss Luo Li!"
The two looked at each other and saw that each other's eyes were also filled with ecstasy.
Mu Ze couldn't wait to speak, his voice trembling slightly, "But is it true? Where is she now?!"
The Luo family disciple was so excited that he almost cried. He stammered, "Really...really! The eldest lady...she's back! She's less than a hundred miles outside the city gate. Our people thought it was a night raid, but they didn't expect it to be the eldest lady! At the rate she's going, she should be almost in the city!"
Upon hearing this, Song Wanbai could no longer contain his excitement and rushed out the door in one step.
Mu Ze followed closely behind, and the two looked at each other, with complicated lights flashing in their eyes.
A Li, are you really back?
A quarter of an hour ago...
Luo Li looked at the huge city a hundred miles ahead, and warmth appeared in her eyes.
Holy Heaven City, I'm back.
She had a growing bad feeling in her heart. All along the way, the state of the entire Longyue Empire was really too wrong.
But the place she came from was too remote. She only passed through two sparsely populated and backward towns along the way, and she didn't find out anything.
Just as she was about to continue forward, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded her. The young disciple in the lead frowned and said coldly, "Who breaks into Shengtian City at night?!"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, then looked at the Luo family crest on the chest of the leading young god. Her vigilance faded, and she chuckled softly, taking off her hood. "It's me."
The moonlight was as clear as water, pouring down on her pure and ethereal face, adding a touch of otherworldly aura to Luo Li.
Her eyes sparkled in the silver light, bright and gentle, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, outlining a gentle smile.
Her hair danced lightly in the wind, and a few strands of hair brushed playfully across her fair cheeks, adding a bit of unruly and agile look to her.
The leading Luo family disciple was practically stunned on the spot, dropping the weapon in his hand. He said in disbelief, "Miss?!"
Luo Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's me."
Then Luo Li watched as the disciple took out a sound transmission stone, "Luo Jiu, the young lady is back. Yes, she's a hundred miles outside the city. Go tell the young master of the Song family!"
The voice seemed calm, but if you listened carefully you could tell that it was not only trembling but also crying.
Luo Li blinked and coughed lightly, "There's no need to be so excited, right?"
The Luo family disciple was named Luo Shiqi. Upon hearing this, he said excitedly, "Of course not! Miss, where have you been this past year?!"
The eldest lady's whereabouts have been very mysterious this year, and the only rumor that has been spread to the mainland is that she has gone into seclusion.
But why should I go into seclusion at this time?
Therefore, there are many different opinions about the following. Some even say that Luo Li, like many disciples from other small academies, died in the ancient secret realm during the academy competition.
The disciples of the Luo family have always believed that the eldest lady must be fine. Look, the eldest lady has returned safely!
Luo Li's expression changed, and she raised her voice a little as she asked, "One year?"
Luo Shiqi scratched his head and said with a smile, "Yes, to be exact, it's one year and one month!"
Luo Li bent her knuckles slightly and said in a calm and steady voice, "Are my grandfather and the others, as well as Brother Wanbai and the others, in Shengtian City right now?"
Luo Shiqi replied, "The head of the family and his men are all currently stationed at the front line in Moyang City. Besides Lord Mo Di, Young Master Wanbai and Brother Mu Ze are also in Shengtian City, having returned to recuperate from their injuries."
After hearing his words, Luo Li felt more and more uneasy. She pursed her lips and asked, "Are you here to carry out a mission?"
Luo Shiqi nodded, "Yes, today it's our Seventh Squad that's patrolling the city gate!"
Luo Li nodded, "Then I'll go into the city first. See you all later."
After saying that, he turned and left, heading straight for the city gate.
When Luo Li's back was out of sight, Luo Shiqi turned excitedly to look at his friends on the team, "Did you see that?! Our young lady is back!"
There was no Luo family member behind him. Although he was very excited to see Luo Li, he was obviously much calmer than Luo Shiqi.
Someone patted Luo Shiqi's shoulder and said, "We all saw it! Well, we have to continue patrolling. Tomorrow, I believe Young Master Luo will show up to boost everyone's morale!"
Luo Shiqi exhaled, trying to calm himself down, "Yes, yes, we still have to continue patrolling!"
He raised his hands excitedly, "Come on, brothers, this way!"
The eldest lady is back, and the current situation will definitely be reversed!
He has always believed this.
——————
Outside the gate of Shengtian City.
The night was as dark as ink, and a few lights were faintly visible swaying outside the city gate, echoing the lights of thousands of homes in the city.
Song Wanbai was wearing a long gown woven with light white and silver. The outer part of the gown fluttered in the wind. He almost ran out, and every step was filled with anxiety and expectation, as if he could cross the distance of a hundred miles and directly embrace the long-lost figure.
Mu Ze followed closely behind, the moonlight shining on his face, which was more beautiful than a girl's, adding a bit of tenderness and confusion. His eyes were fixed on the red figure in the distance, and his heart was extremely excited.
A moment later, Si Qingyun, Mo Di and others came rushing over after hearing the news.
The city gate slowly opened, and a gust of night wind blew in, carrying news from afar. Song Wanbai stopped, stood under the city wall, and looked up at the figure in the distance that was gradually becoming clearer.
I saw a woman in a dark red dress walking slowly in the moonlight. Her figure was familiar yet unfamiliar, as if she had walked out of a dream, and every step she took touched everyone's heart.
The girl had an extremely beautiful face, and her eyes showed a calmness that came from having experienced the vicissitudes of life. She was the A'li they missed day and night.
The moment they saw Luo Li's figure clearly, Song Wanbai and Mu Ze's hearts trembled suddenly, and their eyes became moist involuntarily.
The two of them tried hard to suppress their inner excitement, fearing that this was just a dream and that the dream would be shattered if they made any sound.
Around them, Si Qingyun, Mo Di and others also had different expressions, some were shocked, some were happy, and more were filled with indescribable emotion and excitement.
They stood quietly, as if even breathing lightly, for fear of disturbing the flying figure.
Luo Li landed on the open space outside the city gate, looking at the dozen or so people in front of her, her eyes falling on Song Wanbai and Mu Ze, who were in the lead.
Looking at his old friend who had matured in both figure and temperament after a year, Luo Li did not feel the slightest bit of strangeness in her heart.
She raised her eyes and chuckled softly, her voice soft but clear and resounding, "Brother Wanbai, Aze, I'm back."
