However, there seemed to be a small voice in his head, buzzing nonstop, disturbing his thoughts. Nangong Xue used to be at Mount Hua and was doted on by everyone. Her older martial brothers loved her dearly. When they saw that she lacked something and didn't want to work, they prepared everything in advance. Because of her hard work in martial arts, only Li Yijie could keep up with her in terms of cultivation. She was also doted on by her master. Meng Anying didn't have any children, so she treated her like her own daughter.
This kind of girl grew up like a rich family's young miss. Today, because of Li Yijie's' heartless and fickle ', she had to run around the mountains, suffer from hunger and hunger, and live a life where she couldn't see the light of day. Although this miserable situation was just a figment of his imagination, he really felt that he had sinned deeply. He didn't have the initial strong resistance to those harsh words. He smiled bitterly and sighed, "That's right, I should be scolded! Scolding me behind my back is already giving me, the Wulin Alliance Leader, enough face! I should be scolded, I should be hit! "
He raised his hand to slap his own face while cursing, "I'll hit you …" The second half of his sentence stopped abruptly because he didn't want to admit that he was' heartless', but he didn't know what kind of crime to pin on his head.
Yuan Yi grabbed his wrist and said, "If everyone is like you and doesn't know how to reflect and repent after making a mistake, what's the use of slapping yourself when you're upset? I really should take you to a place where you can look at yourself. You don't look the least bit like the Wulin Alliance Leader. "
She then remembered that Nangong Xue had also roughly explained his personality. If he was in a bad mood, the harsher you scolded him, the more likely he would be angry and resist, or completely unable to recover from the setback. The only way was to reason with him and make him sincerely agree with your point of view. She sighed and calmed herself down, saying, "Let me tell you, there are always ways to remedy the situation. It all depends on whether or not you're sincere in doing it. For example … you should face your own heart and not hide anything. First, tell me, what kind of feelings do you have for Miss Nangong? If you can find her, how do you plan to clean up the mess before you? "
Li Yijie frowned. His heart had long been entangled in a mess. Apart from the appearance, how could he see the essence? She clenched her teeth and replied, "My relationship with Xueer is indeed that of a brother and a sister. After I find her, I will protect her every day. Wherever she goes, I will follow. Even if she hates me, I will not let her encounter any danger. On the other hand, I will find a good husband for her as soon as possible, so that she can get married and follow her husband. It will be just right for the two of them to become friends, and from then on this matter of mine will be resolved. "
Yuan Yi said, "You follow behind her all day long, aren't you afraid that her future husband's family will be jealous? Besides, if you marry in a hurry, how can you know what kind of person the other party is? Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but if Miss Nangong is just a burden that you want to get rid of at any time, then wouldn't it be exactly what you want now that her whereabouts are unknown? If you want to treat her well and truly love her, how can you bear to entrust her to someone else? That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully. "
Li Yijie's eyes gradually became hazy. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, or perhaps because his heart was exhausted, he finally collapsed again. Yuan Yi sighed helplessly. Taking advantage of his drunken stupor, he dragged him to the bathhouse and ordered the servants to clean his body and shave off the stray beard on his face. Then he pushed him to the inn they had booked earlier to rest.
Early the next morning, Li Yijie woke up. Although he still had a hangover and a headache, he felt very refreshed. He had not felt this way for several months. Inadvertently he caught a glimpse of a bronze mirror at the head of the bed. From the angle of the mirror, he could tell that it was set up specifically for him to see. He saw that his expression in the mirror was slightly tired, but when he looked at himself from top to bottom, he saw that he had regained the appearance of an energetic young man.
Li Yijie still had some recollection of his drunken ramblings last night. He did not need to think too much about it to know that everything was arranged by Yuan Yi. The two of them had only met by chance. It was rare for Yuan Yi to be so considerate and thoughtful. He could not help but feel grateful. After tidying himself up, he went downstairs to the main hall. Yuan Yi was already waiting for him at a table in the middle of the hall. There were several dishes on the table. They were steaming hot and fragrant. Seeing him come down, Yuan Yi waved his hand and greeted him, "Brother Li, you're finally awake? Come and sit down. Today it's my treat. Eat. "
Li Yijie went forward and sat down. He looked at the table full of delicacies. There was still a worry in his heart. He mumbled, "Young Master Yuan, there was more last night …" Yuan Yi waved his hand and said, "If you treat me as a friend, then don't say the word 'thank you' that will hurt my feelings. If you really want to repay me, then quickly pull yourself together and become a Wulin Alliance Leader. Then you won't waste my efforts. "
Li Yijie nodded his head and said, "It's a pity that after today, I'll have to say goodbye to Young Master. Otherwise, I really want to go to the best restaurant in the city and hold a banquet. I want to drink wine and chat with Young Master and talk about my life. What joy would that be? "Yuan Yi laughed and said," That's fine! Brother Li, you said it yourself. Don't forget it. "
Li Yijie was surprised, "Why …" Yuan Yi said, "Brother Li, we don't need to be in such a hurry to part. Coincidentally, we're going the same way. I also want to take a trip to the capital. Otherwise, based on my character, do you think I, Yuan Yi, would be willing to waste my precious time and follow you all the way just to persuade you to pull yourself together? "
Li Yijie was even more surprised. He asked, "Young Master Yuan … why do you want to go to the capital?" Yuan Yi said, "I've ventured into a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Why would I be afraid of a small place like the capital? I'm going to look for a friend. "
Li Yijie still had not completely let go of this matter. Yuan Yi's attitude was calm and unperturbed, but perhaps because of his own inexplicable intuition, Li Yijie always felt that he was hiding something. However, everybody has their own secrets. If he was unwilling to tell, Li Yijie could not force him either. Thereupon the two of them set out together. Li Yijie did not want to delay Yuan Yi's business, so he did not go around the city looking for Nangong Xue. Riding two fast horses, they concentrated on their journey. In just a few days they arrived at the capital.
Everywhere they looked, it was still as prosperous as before. But Li Yijie's heart was filled with an indescribable desolation. Along the way, they saw countless towns and cities destroyed by the Seven Evil Spirits. Everywhere they looked, they could not bear to look. Although it had been more than a month since the incident, the aura of death still lingered in the air. It was as if the bloody tragedy of the human world was playing out vividly in front of them.
Li Yijie was gnashing his teeth in anger. He was extremely resentful. Only now did he realize that in this chaotic world, the joy and sorrow of a single person were insignificant. Since he was the Wulin Alliance Leader, he was not only responsible for maintaining order in the Jianghu, he was also responsible for the lives of the common people. Indeed, he had to get rid of all distracting thoughts and cultivate his martial art with all his strength. Only then would he be able to deal with these devils who brought disaster to the world, and return peace to the world.
He saw a group of people strolling on the main street, hawkers yelling with all their might, shop owners who were trying to sell their wares, and shop owners who were beaming with joy as soon as they saw customers. These were all honest and dutiful people who supported themselves by their own efforts. But right now they could still laugh as much as they wanted, but they did not know when their lives would suddenly come to an end. Although the capital was the place where the Imperial Palace was located, hadn't the Seven Evil Spirits repeatedly entered and exited the capital unscathed?
These past few days he had been together with Yuan Yi, and the friendship they had developed was extremely deep. Between men, they were not as narrow-minded as women. Sometimes when they had a congenial conversation, or their hearts were in sync, they would treat each other as their own brothers. Thinking that he was about to part ways with Yuan Yi, with his wandering nature, he did not know when they would meet again. His heart was reluctant to part, and he could not help but feel a sense of sadness. Suddenly he asked, "I wonder … who is the friend that Yuan Gongzi wants to visit in the capital?"
Yuan Yi was startled, and then a bashful expression appeared on his face. He said, "Sorry to make Brother Li laugh. That is … that is Little Brother's fiancée. "
Li Yijie was greatly shocked, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He pointed a trembling finger at Yuan Yi's nose. He said, "Your … your … wife?" Yuan Yi said, "That's right. Brother Li, why are you so surprised? Could it be that Little Brother's qualifications are too poor, and that no girl from any family will take a fancy to me?"
Li Yijie hastily said, "No, no, what are you talking about? Yuan Gongzi's martial arts are excellent, and you are distinguished and elegant. If a girl from any family can marry you, it would be her good fortune. It's just that I feel that Yuan Gongzi is more suited for a free and unfettered life. Your name is not suitable to be tied together with 'wife'. "
Yuan Yi said, "The ancients were particular about marrying a family and establishing a career. They said that one should marry first, then establish a career. My taste is not particularly high, and I can only say that it is' unique '. When I take a fancy to a girl, I don't care whether she is beautiful or not. The most important thing is whether she has a mutual understanding with me. Only when I see her and my heart throbs from the bottom of my heart, and I believe that in the vast sea of people, she is the girl that belongs to me. Only then will I choose her, and the two of us will grow old together. "
