Hearing Nie Li say thank you, Chun Mei also widened her eyes, as if it was a very rare thing. However, it was rare for him to say thank you to her. Chun Mei chuckled and went out, leaving the door ajar on the way.
Lifting the quilt and putting on his shoes, Nie Li sat directly on the table, picked up the rice porridge and drank it in big mouthfuls. Because it was a little cold, the taste was not very good. The steamed bread was also a little cold, but it was still soft.
He casually picked one up and took a bite. It was a little sweet and very comfortable to chew. There were also two simple vegetarian dishes. They were not exquisite dishes, but they had the feeling of home. The oil on the surface added a bit of "color" to it. Picking up a piece and putting it into his mouth, the preserved fragrance and crispness of the vegetables were not destroyed.
Nie Li did not expect it to be so delicious. It looked, smelled, and tasted good. He finished the food in a few big mouthfuls. As soon as the bowl and chopsticks were put down, Chun Mei's urging voice sounded outside.
Thinking that he had to accompany Chun Mei on the boat today, Nie Li felt a little uncomfortable. However, since he had promised, he had to go. He picked up the clothes on the bed and put them on one by one.
Using a red hair band to tie his scattered hair behind his head, a black fighting suit with a black robe with red flowers, and a very simple black trousers and black boots.
A black, extremely simple color, with a few strands of red added flowers to the brocade, making Nie Li more calm and stern. Although he was still handsome, he did not have the previous bewitching handsomeness.
Walking to the window, the breeze outside blew the hair on his forehead. The road was full of traffic, and the sun was just right, warm.
The flying geese all returned to their nests, and the young eagles had nowhere to go. The lights on the long street illuminated the house, and the riverside hut was covered in dust.
Picking up the plum blossom on the table, Nie Li plucked all the petals from it and sprinkled them into the air. Watching the plum blossom dancing in the air, falling to the ground, and falling into the mortal world, it went back.
Chun Mei's voice sounded again. Nie Li softly said, "It's done." Immediately, Chun Mei pushed the door and entered. Looking at Nie Li's tall and straight figure through the window, the breeze blew his hair and clothes, making her mesmerized.
"Let's go!" Nie Li turned his head around and smiled. The sunlight shone behind him. This was the first time Chun Mei felt her heart beating violently. Her face couldn't help turning red as she shrunk her neck and stammered, unable to speak.
"Don't just stand there." After he finished speaking, Nie Li had already walked past her. Chun Mei quivered and chased after Nie Li, who was a few meters away. Then, the two of them discussed what to do in the midst of laughter.
Walking on the street, everyone's eyes were filled with envy and admiration as they looked at this pair of golden boy and jade girl. When they arrived at the Fang Mansion, the two servants at the door noticed that someone had arrived and quickly placed their hands on the sabers at their waists.
When Nie Li saw this, he couldn't help but frown. However, when he realized that it was Nie Li, he respectfully greeted him and opened the door. Nie Li opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Then he entered the mansion.
"You'd better ask Sect Leader Fang." Chun Mei had been looking at Nie Li the whole time. This little action obviously didn't escape her eyes. Hearing this, Nie Li knew that something had happened in the gang.
Looking at the members of the Ghost Manor training in the courtyard, it further confirmed his guess. Walking to the hall, Fang Tong and Bai Lu were sitting and drinking tea. Bai Lu's complexion didn't look good, either because he had just recovered from his injuries or because something had happened in the gang.
"You're here! Quickly sit. Miss Chun Mei, come with us. " Seeing that Nie Li had arrived, Fang Tong put the tea aside, stood up and patted Nie Li's body. Bai Lu also stood up and nodded, without much enthusiasm.
"How's your body?" "It's fine. After a few days of recuperation, I've already recovered." "That's good." The two of them spoke one after another. Hearing Nie Li say that he was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother Fang, did something happen in the gang? I feel that there's something wrong with each of them. "Nie Li went straight to the point. He didn't like to hide things.
"Ever since you went out last time, Tian Lei seemed to have gone crazy. He no longer cared about his previous disguise. He directly led the gang members to rebel against me. "
"Moreover, I heard that he secretly colluded with the Iron Chain Gang. Although the Beggar Clan didn't intend to participate because of you, they are still not easy to deal with." Fang Tong sighed. He didn't think that Tian Lei would be so anxious.
"Last time, Tian Lei used a trick to lure me out. He sent eight Viscera Training and two Blood Transformation Realm experts to kill me. Instead, I killed several of them. He must have seen that his plan was exposed, and his own strength was weakened. He wanted to gain the upper hand by a show of strength."
Fang Tong and Bai Lu were stunned. They knew that Nie Li had been ambushed and injured by Tian Lei, but they didn't think that Tian Lei would send out such a force to capture Nie Li. Even so, not only did Nie Li not die, but he also killed several of his people.
The Viscera Training and Blood Transformation Realm experts were already considered important people in the gang. Now that several of them had been killed, Tian Lei probably knew that once he knew of this situation, he would definitely make a move. Therefore, he took the initiative to ally with others and attack together.
"Today is the New Year, so let's not talk about these things. You go play with Miss Chun Mei! " Fang Tong saw that Chun Mei was following Nie Li and smiled mischievously. After hearing Nie Li's words, she already had an estimate of Tian Lei's strength.
"Alright, if you need anything, just look for me. Oh, that's right, Brother Bai, do you know who injured you last time? " Nie Li got up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that when Bai Lu had led the Ghost Palace to occupy Liu Ming's territory, he had been injured. He had to be on guard against someone who could injure Bai Lu.
"I also don't know. He was masked at that time, but what I can be sure of is that his palm technique is very powerful and very strange. "Although Bai Lu's face was a little gloomy, he still carefully recalled.
Without another word, Nie Li left with Chun Mei. Did Tian Lei have such a person under him? Of the ten people that had surrounded him that day, not a single one of them was skilled in palm techniques. Obviously, Tian Lei still had a hidden card.
"I'm going to my room to get something." Nie Li returned to his room. Although he hadn't returned for several days, there were servants who came to clean his room every day. His things were untouched and spotless. The wooden box was still at the head of the bed, the bamboo flute on top, and the autumn rain hanging on the wall.
He thought that he had already lost it, but he didn't expect it to be here. He guessed that Fang Tong didn't put in the effort to get the autumn rain back. He placed the bamboo flute in his bosom, hung the autumn rain on his waist, and left with Chun Mei.
"Bai Lu, send a few astute brothers to Tian Lei to inquire about the deal with the Iron Chain Gang. I'm afraid that a lot of blood will be shed in this year's January."
The bluestone road was smooth and flat. Nie Li and Chun Mei walked side by side. Seeing a small stall selling exquisite goods, Chun Mei couldn't resist the little girl's nature and walked over.
"Boss, how much is this knife color?" Chun Mei looked around and pointed at a red woven fabric. The knife color was different from the ordinary chivalrous people's, it was just a few pieces of coarse cloth hanging on the hilt. This knife color was very beautiful, it was three inches long. Two inches were used to make flower knots, and the remaining inch was used to hang a few pieces of cloth, embroidered with rare and exotic beasts, mixed with eagle feathers.
"Hahahaha, miss, I'm afraid you want to give it to the little brother next to you! Since that's the case, ten coins will do. "When the stall owner saw Chun Mei, he didn't recover for a long time before he laughed heartily.
"Okay." Chun Mei didn't wait for Nie Li to speak and directly agreed. "Boss, buy that hairpin as well!" Finished speaking, Nie Li threw a silver ingot to the stall owner. Seeing Nie Li buy the hairpin, Chun Mei's heart was very happy. He was giving it to her!
The stall owner hurriedly put away the silver ingot and handed the knife color and hairpin to the two of them. "Let me tie it for you!" Chun Mei nimbly tied the knife color on Nie Li's knife, but Nie Li looked at the hairpin in his hand and didn't know where to start.
Several times he wanted to raise his hand, but seeing Chun Mei's beautiful hair hanging down, it seemed that there was no place to do it. Might as well give it to her later. Chun Mei took the hairpin and put it into her bosom. She pulled Nie Li's hand and walked towards the Red Jade Lane.
In winter, the sun set early. Moreover, it was New Year's Eve. Everyone was anxious to go home for the New Year. The sky wasn't completely dark yet, but there weren't many people on the street.
"Chun Mei is here! Wang Ma has been waiting for you for a long time. " Seeing Chun Mei come with a man, they all joked. Everyone knew that Chun Mei would be able to leave this place soon. Who asked Nie Li to come with Fang Tong last time? His identity is definitely not ordinary.
"Wait for me for a moment. I'll go and talk to her first." Chun Mei let Nie Li wait here first, then ran upstairs.
"Sir, why don't you take me with you? I'll be your concubine. " Just as Chun Mei left, the other women surrounded Nie Li. All kinds of strong rouge smell assaulted Nie Li's face. Some even reached out their hands to touch Nie Li.
"Scram." Nie Li coldly snorted. Everyone was shocked. Looking at Nie Li's cold eyes again, they all retreated.
"Nie Li, you must be anxious from waiting! Let's go. "Chun Mei hurriedly ran down from upstairs, grabbed Nie Li's hand and walked out.
Although Cloud Sea City has a huge port, but after all, shipping is the main source of income. The surrounding lakes are all gathered here. In such a huge city like Cloud Sea City, there must be a small lake.
Behind Red Jade Lane, there's a twenty feet wide lake. It's brightly lit on one side, all the way to the towering city wall on the other side. Nie Li guessed that it's connected to the outside of the city.
It's not a small boat. It's about ten meters long and four meters wide. It's not the usual shuttle-shaped boat. The front and back of the boat are relatively flat. Furthermore, the huge cabin is at the middle and rear of the boat. In front of the cabin is a flat deck with wine and food placed on it.
Chun Mei tightly grabbed onto Nie Li, as if someone was trying to snatch him away. "Deng deng deng" Nie Li stepped on the wooden planks and walked onto the boat. The boatman put away the wooden planks that fixed the boat and immediately entered the cabin, leaving behind a few maids and Chun Mei to accompany Nie Li.
The boat flowed on the calm lake. Thousands of voices came from the houses on both sides of the lake. It's extremely lively.
"Alright, I'll accompany you today. You accompany me too. The two of us will celebrate the New Year together. "Chun Mei softly said as she pulled the absent-minded Nie Li.
Nie Li smiled apologetically. He didn't want to escape from Chun Mei's feelings, but he couldn't control his heart. It's a kind of fear, panic, and uneasiness. It's as if he's looking at his own reflection on the lake. That face is very unfamiliar.
The sound of firecrackers, thousands of voices. It's so noisy that it's hard to shake the heart. The dark lake is quiet, a person in love, tender like water, without light or end.
