Chapter 348 Lotus Tower 7
Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi entered the city quickly.
It is May now. Although Yangzhou in May is not as beautiful as Yangzhou in March, the scenery is still as beautiful as a painting, charming and enchanting.
The green mountains are hidden in the distance and the water is far away. The green mountains are winding and hidden in the sky. The green water is like a belt, stretching endlessly.
The ten-mile-long street is connected to the market. In Yangzhou City, cars flow like water and horses gallop like dragons. Business is prosperous, high-rise buildings are lined up, and shops are doing a booming business.
There are many rivers crisscrossing the city, and the air is filled with mist, which adds a gentle water town flavor to the city of Yangzhou.
Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi walked on the long street, where there were many tourists, busy traffic, and laughter.
Ling Xi has been to many places since she was taken away by her master when she was a child. Later, when she established the Valley of Divine Doctors, she also went to many places.
But this is indeed my first time in Yangzhou City.
Yangzhou City is the most prosperous city in the Jiangnan area, so the Divine Doctor Valley will naturally not ignore this place.
Before, when the Valley of Divine Doctors established shops and clinics in Yangzhou City, it was not Ling Xi who was personally responsible for it, but his disciples who stepped forward to do so.
After all, the Divine Doctor Valley has taken in so many people from all walks of life. If she, the young valley master, has to do everything herself, then why would she train so many people?
"Ah Xi, this Yangzhou city is indeed extremely prosperous and has beautiful scenery. I feel like I am in a painting."
Li Xiangyi looked at Ling Xi, holding his Shao Shi Sword in his arms, jumping up and down, as excited as a few-year-old child.
In comparison, Ling Xi seems much more stable.
She also held a sword in her hand, the scabbard of which was inlaid with red gems that sparkled in the sun.
"Then we will stay for a few more days. Besides, didn't you say you were planning to establish a sect in Yangzhou City? You will need money, right? You will need people, right? These things have not been resolved yet. Xiangyi, you still have a long way to go."
Ling Xi looked at Li Xiangyi with a teasing smile, but it was just a simple reminder without any urging.
After hearing what Ling Xi said, Li Xiangyi's face suddenly became bitter. His handsome eyebrows frowned, showing some distress.
"Ah Xi, according to what you said, it is very difficult to establish a sect. There are so many things to do."
Ling Xi could tell that Li Xiangyi was simply impatient with these things, not disgusted by them.
Ling Xi smiled, smiling broadly, and said, "There is no other way. Establishing a sect is not that simple. Xiangyi, you must be prepared in all aspects."
Noticing Li Xiangyi's bitter face, Ling Xi kindly reminded him, "Of course, if you want to make it easier for yourself, then just find someone who is good at doing these things."
Hearing this, Li Xiangyi restrained his expression, and his cynical expression suddenly became serious. He replied solemnly: "That's no problem. Isn't my senior brother here? When the time comes, I will be responsible for punishing evil and promoting good, and my senior brother will be responsible for the management of the sect."
When Ling Xi heard Li Xiangyi mention Shan Gu Dao, his eyes flickered and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
According to her observations along the way, Shan Gudao is a person with low self-esteem, narrow-minded, and petty. He is not someone she can make close friends with.
But he didn't do anything along the way, so there were some things Ling Xi was embarrassed to say.
What's more, Shan Gudao is Li Xiangyi's senior brother, and they grew up together. Li Xiangyi's feelings for Shan Gudao over the past decade must be much deeper than his feelings for her, a friend whom he has only known for more than two months.
Without any evidence, if she told Li Xiangyi what she was thinking, Li Xiangyi might not believe her and would suspect that she was maliciously trying to sow discord between them.
That would be bad.
So, after thinking it over carefully, Ling Xi decided not to say anything for the time being and continue to observe Shan Gudao to see if he would do anything.
After getting the definite evidence, she would raise her suspicion to Li Xiangyi. Putting aside the thoughts in her mind, Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi walked around for several hours, almost walking through the entire Yangzhou city.
It was not until nightfall that Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi returned to the inn with a bunch of things.
This inn was opened by the Divine Doctor Valley. Disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley who are away from home can stay here for free by presenting a token of the Divine Doctor Valley disciples. No room charges are required.
After arriving in Yangzhou City, Ling Xi came here first and asked someone to reserve three upper rooms.
Two of them belonged to them, and the other one was reserved for Shan Gudao.
Although it is speculated that Shan Gudao may have bad intentions, he still has to put on a complete show.
On their way to Yangzhou, they met the head of the Changmadao He family. The Changmadao He family was in trouble, and the head of the He family asked them to send his youngest son to his grandfather's house in Luoyang before his death.
But just before they left, Shan Gudao said that he would send the person to Luoyang alone, and asked the two of them to come to Yangzhou City first to familiarize themselves with the environment.
Li Xiangyi trusted Shan Gudao, so he naturally agreed without any doubt, and was even touched by Shan Gudao's thoughtfulness.
However, Ling Xi had always been suspicious of Shan Gudao, so naturally he would not believe Shan Gudao's one-sided statement.
If she believed Shan Gudao, she might as well believe a dog.
Therefore, when Shan Gudao sent the younger son of the He family to Luoyang, Ling Xi asked her secret guards to follow them secretly, so as to rescue the younger son of the He family when he was in danger.
She absolutely did not believe that Shan Gudao was just so kind as to send people back. He definitely had some ulterior motive.
There is only one rumor about the He family with long sabers in the underworld recently.
It is rumored that the He family has a piece of outer space cloud iron, which is a treasure that is both extremely hard and extremely soft. It was also because of this cloud iron and the long saber that the He family was targeted by their enemies and thus exterminated.
If Shan Gudao had any plan, then what he wanted was undoubtedly this piece of Yuntie.
After putting all the things they bought back into the inn, Li Xiangyi approached Ling Xi again and wanted to go out.
The scenery of Yangzhou city is even more charming at night.
Ling Xi was helpless, looking at Li Xiangyi's enthusiastic and energetic appearance. She didn't understand, could this man never get tired? Why was he so energetic?
Li Xiangyi was certainly not tired. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the distance he walked today was just a warm-up for him.
Besides, he was so happy to be traveling with Ling Xi that how could he be tired?
Ling Xi couldn't resist Li Xiangyi's coquetry and had to accompany him out again.
When he reached the door of the inn, Ling Xi was grabbed by the wrist by Li Xiangyi, and he walked in a hurry and accidentally bumped into someone coming in.
Ling Xi looked up and saw a beautiful girl in a pink dress. She was gentle and quiet, like the snow-white pear blossoms on the branches, fresh and elegant.
But there was no color on his face and he looked pale and weak.
There was sadness between her brows, tears in her eyes, and she was breathing slightly.
She is as quiet as a beautiful flower reflecting in the water, as mobile as a willow swaying in the wind, and even when she is sick she looks three times better than Xi Shi. This look makes anyone feel distressed and unable to refuse any of her requests.
This is a sick beauty, this is the first thing Ling Xi thought when he saw the girl in front of him.
