Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 199 Lotus Tower (2)

After thinking about this matter, Li Xiangyi took Ji Xiao's hand and slowly walked to the dining table downstairs and sat down.

He said to Ji Xiao gently: "Xiao Xiao, have breakfast first, we can talk about other things later."

Ji Xiao nodded obediently and replied softly: "Yeah, okay."

After finishing their breakfast in silence, the two of them came to the second-floor terrace together. They gently placed the things in their hands on the table and sat down on both sides.

Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao looked at the vast sea in the distance at the same time. Ji Xiao was secretly glad that the heavenly way here had sent the horses here. Otherwise, Ji Xiao would have to spend a lot of effort to find two more horses to pull the vehicle. Li Xiangyi was lost in his own thoughts.

Ji Xiao leaned on the side of the couch, turned to look at Li Xiangyi, and asked softly: "Xiangyi, did you get any useful information when you went out?"

Hearing Ji Xiao's question, Li Xiangyi's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to reality. He calmed down and then responded in a low voice: "Well, I found out something."

Ji Xiao was keenly aware that he looked a little serious. He had not looked good since he came upstairs, and his eyes were out of focus when he spoke. So, she quietly moved from the other end of the couch to his side, tightly held his hand, and quietly waited for him to continue speaking.

Li Xiangyi noticed Ji Xiao's actions and held her hand tightly. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Xiaoxiao, why do you think human nature is so complicated? Ever since I fell into the East China Sea and the news spread, in the past ten years, except for a few people who tried to take advantage of the fire and come to search for treasure, no one I knew in the past came here to look for my whereabouts. Am I really a failure as a human being?"

Seeing this, Ji Xiao hurriedly embraced Li Xiangyi in her arms and comforted him lovingly, "Don't talk nonsense! You are kind-hearted, upright, and full of justice. Not to mention that you have taught our son Nian'an so well, the fact that you care about me is enough to prove everything. What's more, you founded the Four-Gu Gate and provided protection for many people in all aspects. You are deeply loved by everyone in Qingyun. Almost everyone knows your name - everyone knows that you are the leader of the Four-Gu Gate."

Li Xiangyi snuggled in Ji Xiao's warm embrace, still in a depressed mood, and then said softly: "In addition, I also heard that Master passed away, but he was still fine when I left." After a pause, he continued: "I want to go back to see Master's wife first, and then go look for Senior Brother Shan Gudao."

"Okay, but let's first see what He has given us, and then decide what to do next." Ji Xiao nodded in agreement. Then she pointed upwards and opened the video that Yun Duo had given her.

As the screen gradually unfolded and the music slowly sounded, the two of them remained silent in tacit understanding, staring at the screen intently. (There was also music, this Tiandao probably watched a lot of short videos) As time passed, they seemed to forget everything around them, immersed in this long video.

This video records every bit of what Li Xiangyi experienced before he left. Every frame is so real and profound. It not only includes the sad scene of his master's death because of his senior brother Shan Gudao, but also includes many other major events. All these stories have been carefully compressed into this short video.

When the sun gradually sank and the sky turned black, the two finally finished watching the entire video. At this moment, everything was quiet, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the distance. Ji Xiao accompanied him silently, knowing that she needed to give him enough time to slowly digest it all.

After all, no matter who it is, being betrayed by the people you love and trust is an unbearable pain, not to mention someone as arrogant as Li Xiangyi.

Even Ji Xiao, as a bystander, could not help but feel uneasy after witnessing all this. It is conceivable that Li Xiangyi, who had personally experienced all this, should not be Li Lianhua, and how much torment and pain he must have felt at that time.

Not only did his first love break up with him, he was even poisoned by his subordinates. In the following ten long years, he could only endure the bone-eating and heart-burning pain brought by the "Green Tea" and the pain that was worse than death when the poison took effect. No one knew about all this, and he could only endure it silently.

In the end, the only people who stayed by his side were Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng. However, things are different now. As Li Xiangyi, he is different now. After all, Li Xiangyi has a beautiful woman by his side (Li Lianhua does not), and Li Xiangyi also has a handsome and intelligent son in another time and space.

Therefore, facing the betrayal of his closest and most trusted people, he was not unable to let it go. What really made him unable to accept the fact was that his master's death was related to his senior brother Shan Gudao. This undoubtedly became an indelible pain in his heart.

After a moment, when Li Xiangyi gradually accepted all the realities and sorted out his thoughts, he came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and was surprised to find that he was nestled in the arms of his beloved wife. His face turned red in an instant, like a ripe apple, and shyness permeated from head to toe.

He suddenly broke away from Ji Xiao's arms as if he had been electrocuted, his face flushed red, he looked down at his toes shyly, and stammered: "Xiao... Xiaoxiao, let's go visit Master and Master's Wife first tomorrow, and then go find Senior Brother... Oh no, it should be said to go find Shan Gudao."

"Yes, yes, everything is up to you! No matter where you go, I will follow you closely. It's getting late, let's have dinner first!" Before she finished speaking, Ji Xiao gently waved her jade hand, took out the delicious dishes that she had carefully prepared from the space she carried with her, and placed them one by one on the table near the edge of the couch.

"Okay." Li Xiangyi responded softly, and then swiftly assisted Ji Xiao in placing the food. After everything was ready, the two of them had their meal together under the bright moonlight.

Was this dinner or a midnight snack? They didn't seem to care about these details, but were just happily savoring the sumptuous meal in front of them, which was not sure whether it was dinner or a midnight snack.
