Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 220 Lotus Tower (23)

In the gorgeously decorated carriage, Li Xiangyi caught a glimpse of Fang Duobing following closely behind him, so he stuffed the whip and reins into his hands, then turned around, got into the carriage and went straight to the kitchen to prepare lunch with Ji Xiao.

After all, in order to hunt down Shan Gudao, the two of them had not had lunch yet.

Normally, if they didn't eat on time, they would eat the food prepared in advance in the space. Now there was an unexpected guest, a prisoner.

That's why the two of them had to cook today. If not for this, they would choose to take food directly from the space to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Now, with the help of Li Xiangyi, Ji Xiao prepared a table of delicious meal in a short time.

Li Xiangyi asked Ji Xiao to go upstairs to change clothes, while he carefully brought the food into the house and gently placed it on the dining table. Then he shouted to Fang Duobing who was concentrating on driving, "Silly boy! Drive the horse to the open space beside the road and stop, then come in and eat."

"Oh, I see!" Fang Duobing outside the house obediently drove the carriage to the shade of the trees beside the road.

At this moment, Shan Gudao, who had been lying quietly on the cold ground and forgotten by everyone, suddenly glared at Li Xiangyi with anger on his face and shouted angrily: "Li Xiangyi, you must untie the rope immediately! I am your senior brother, how dare you tie me up?"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiao happened to come down the stairs from the second floor after changing her clothes. She just happened to hear Shan Gudao's shameless words, so she hurriedly stepped forward and stood firmly in front of Li Xiangyi, successfully preventing him from replying.

Ji Xiao held Li Xiangyi's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, as if conveying a kind of firm strength. Her eyes fell on Shan Gudao lying on the ground, her eyes full of contempt.

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you. Oh, no, you don't even deserve to be called a human being! Calling you a 'beast' is an insult to beasts. What about you, senior brother? Do you think you deserve it?" Ji Xiao's voice was sharp and powerful, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Shan Gudao's eardrums.

"you……"

Shan Gudao wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Ji Xiao: "You...you what you mean. Did I say something wrong? Even crows know to be grateful and repay their kindness, but what about you? Just to satisfy your narrow and dark jealousy, you actually killed the master who taught and raised you with your own hands! You still have the nerve to call yourself a human being?"

Shan Gudao's face turned grim, and he hissed, "I'm not wrong! It was him, he was the first to look down on me! If it weren't for Li Xiangyi's extraordinary talent and me lying about being his brother, that old man would never have saved me, let alone brought me up the mountain!"

Ji Xiao showed a mocking smile and said with a sneer: "According to what you said, is it still the fault of the old master? In my opinion, it is because he has long seen through your narrow-mindedness, jealousy and vicious nature, so he is unwilling to take you in." Every word she said was like a sharp sword, ruthlessly piercing into Shan Gudao's heart.

"So what? In the end, it was the idiot next to you who pleaded for me, and then he took me up the mountain for this idiot. It's all their fault! Why can Li Xiangyi master anything he learns immediately, but I still can't learn it even if I try my best, and in the end he still has to come to me to show off." Shan Gudao retorted indignantly with his eyes wide open.

"People like you are like rats in a dark and damp ditch. Instead of working hard, you are jealous of the diligence and talent of others. Haha..." Ji Xiao sneered and glanced at Shan Gudao with contempt.

At this moment, Fang Duobing walked into the room and heard the conversation between the two. He was extremely shocked and looked straight at his uncle. He asked suspiciously, "Uncle, is she telling the truth? Why?"

"Don't call me uncle anymore! You and I have no blood relationship. The person who can really be called your uncle is the one standing next to you. Look at you stupid people. Just based on a jade pendant I wear, you have identified me as your master and cousin without even thinking of checking.

Isn't it ridiculous to trust others so credulously? I took this jade pendant from Li Xiangyi, hahahaha... What's even more ridiculous is that the old man actually came to my door ten years ago and begged me to go to the East China Sea to find his beloved disciple Li Xiangyi and escort him back to the mountain.

Haha... I was extremely merciful by not taking advantage of the situation to kill you, Li Xiangyi. How could I go and look for him as he wished? That's really a fantasy!"

Finally, after Shan Gudao revealed the general reason why he murdered his mentor, Li Xiangyi stared at Shan Gudao, who was slumped on the ground, with a gloomy face and said sternly: "Even if the master did not give you the grace of giving birth, he at least raised you! Since you are unwilling to look for me, it is fine, I will not say a word; but why did you kill him?"

Shan Gudao shouted with a ferocious and crazy look: "You guys forced me to do this! That damn old guy willingly drank the poison I handed him just to get me to find you! But, I never promised to find you. I can only say that he is too stupid. Can you blame me for this? Hahaha..."

At this moment, Ji Xiao could no longer bear it. After all, this bastard treated her man like this, and even made him a prisoner, but he was still so arrogant? Who gave him the courage?

Ji Xiao looked at Shan Gudao with disdain and responded contemptuously: "In my opinion, your biggest problem is that you read too little but think too much!

You are nothing more than a toad, not only ugly in appearance, but also filthy and poisonous in heart! I really want to spit on you, but I am afraid that it will dirty my precious saliva! "

"You...you shrew! So vulgar." Shan Gudao was so angry that his face turned red.

"What's wrong with me? Even if I'm a shrew, so what? Even if I'm vulgar, so what? You have to care. At least I have people who care about me and love me! And what about you? Tsk tsk...right, Xiangyi."

Without waiting for Li Xiangyi's response, Ji Xiao looked at Shan Gudao and continued, "Humph, look at yourself again. You look just like a toad, and your personality is exactly the same as a toad - arrogant and poisonous! Not only are you ugly, but you also have beautiful dreams.

Humph! I don't want to bother with you, Xiangyi. Let's go eat first and leave him alone. He won't die if he starves for a few meals anyway." As soon as the voice fell, Ji Xiao took Li Xiangyi's hand and went straight back to the dining table to sit down.

Li Xiangyi did not say anything to stop Ji Xiao from continuing, because he knew that what Ji Xiao said was true, and seeing her standing so firmly by his side to defend him, he couldn't help but feel a warm and joyful feeling in his heart.

After all, it is rare to have someone who trusts and supports you unconditionally in this world. Therefore, he could not find any reason to refute or deny every word Ji Xiao said.

So, Li Xiangyi just watched everything happening in front of him quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
