Who in the world does not know you?

Chapter 83 Jianghu Tabloid

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone's life is full of various episodes, but eventually things will settle down.

Since returning to Xichuan Prefecture, Li Hongyi has never left her home again.

Li Zigui and Leng Honglou, the couple, watched their daughter's performance closely and began to feel a little curious about the fortune teller named Yun Luobai who lived far away in Ningzhou Prefecture.

On this day, Li Hongyi sat quietly in the courtyard, turning her head to look at the empty stone table beside her, and thought of Yun Luobai's fortune-telling and deception tools.

Money for divination?

She took out the divination coin she had stolen from Yun Luobai before leaving from the inside of her belt and placed it on the table. Without the red cloth or the other nine divination coins, it lay alone on the stone table, looking rather desolate.

Why did she steal the divination coin from him?

Is she hoping that when he's fiddling with those divination coins again, he'll notice one is missing and thus guess that she's been there?

Or do you want more things to look forward to?

Li Hongyi couldn't say it.

But speaking of longing...

She lowered her eyes to look at the silver cloud bracelet on her white wrist.

In a daze, she seemed to see again the scene of him putting this bracelet on her finger.

She suddenly understood: he was worried that if he didn't buy it for her, and she didn't have any money, she would have to steal it if she wanted it.

But who is she?

Her name is Li Hongyi, the Li of Li Fanyu, the master of Qianbing Mountain Villa, and the Li of Li Zigui, the master of swords.

What kind of precious jewelry hasn't she seen? Why would she really care about such a cheap string of street ornaments?

Her fingertips traced the cloud pattern on the bracelet, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

"Was this bracelet a gift from Yun Luobai?"

A familiar, cool voice came from beside her. Li Hongyi turned her head to look at her mother and nodded gently.

"Um."

"Why haven't you gone out lately? Those people who tried to scam your dad haven't had a chance."

"A staged accident?"

"Yes. A few days ago, when you weren't home, two cows went missing from Old Huang's house in the east of the city. He came to your father and asked if you had taken them, wanting your father to pay for them."

"I wasn't in Xichuan Prefecture, so of course I didn't do it. Besides, why would I go to his house and take away his cow for no reason?"

"So I knocked out his last two teeth."

"He's so old, just kick him out..."

"He originally had two cows, one of which he lost gambling. So initially he only lost one cow. He wronged you, and I taught him a lesson; there's nothing wrong with that."

Leng Honglou said calmly.

Her thinking has always been very simple, which has helped her avoid a lot of trouble in her daily life.

Li Hongyi knew her mother's temperament, so she didn't say much. She just leaned forward and rested her head on the stone table, looking utterly bored.

Leng Honglou sat on the stone bench next to her, feeling that as a mother, she should say something to her daughter at this moment.

But the words seemed to change their meaning as soon as they were spoken...

"Since you've become a thief, you should go out and steal things. If a thief doesn't steal, can he still be called a thief? Whatever choices you make in life, you must take them seriously."

Li Hongyi felt that there was probably no mother in the world who would urge her thieving daughter to go out and steal things when the family was well-off...

"Then why did you choose my dad in the first place?"

"Your father and I are mutually in love."

Leng Honglou replied without hesitation.

Li Hongyi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Just then, Li Zigui stepped into the courtyard.

"Why can't I choose your father? Go out and ask around, everyone knows that your father was once a top-tier master, the best in the world! Back then, to save your mother, I braved the snow to enter the capital alone, with my Biluo and Huangquan swords, fighting against ten thousand men single-handedly! Tens of thousands of Qinglin soldiers couldn't stop me from entering the palace, do you understand...?"

Li Zigui's tone was full of pride and self-satisfaction, but as soon as he walked to the mother and daughter's side, Li Hongyi covered her ears with both hands and stood up impatiently.

"I know, I know, I'm so tired of hearing it after all these years..."

As she spoke, she walked towards her room, clearly not wanting to listen to her father's boasting anymore.

Watching his daughter's departing figure, Li Zigui sat down in the seat where Li Hongyi had just been sitting, looking melancholy, and awkwardly shut his mouth.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Leng Honglou asked softly from the side.

"My child doesn't like to listen to me, he doesn't want to listen to me, sigh..."

"She doesn't like to hear it, but I do. Tell me again the story of Li Zigui braving the snow to enter the capital and single-handedly defeating ten thousand men."

Li Zigui turned his head to look at Leng Honglou beside him. She was resting her elbow on the table and supporting her chin with her hand, looking at him with gentle eyes full of undisguised joy.

Li Zigui remained silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look elsewhere.

"The only thing I can't bear to tell you is this."

The world only knows that Li Zigui, the Sword Master of the World, entered the capital alone through the snow, fought against tens of thousands of Qinglin soldiers by himself, stormed the palace, and defeated the top three martial arts masters ranked in the top three of the martial arts rankings in the palace, redefining what it truly means to be the number one in the world.

Only she understood that he was already at his limit, and only wished to exchange his remaining days and all his knowledge for her safety.

"My lady, what were you thinking when you carried me out of the palace that day, braving the wind and snow?"

When the old story was brought up again, Li Zigui's words carried a hint of shyness and embarrassment.

In comparison, Leng Honglou's answer appeared poised and elegant.

"If you die, we must have a posthumous marriage."

Upon hearing this, Li Zigui couldn't help but laugh out loud, but his eyes were already red until his vision blurred.

As he grew older, he became increasingly sentimental. He hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then, as if to change the subject, reached into his pocket and took out a small booklet.

"My lady, look, this is the latest tabloid. Someone left it on my table yesterday after seeing a doctor, and I just tossed it aside. I picked it up out of boredom today and found something unexpected..."

Leng Honglou took the tabloid from Li Zigui and began to read it. One name that appeared most frequently in the tabloid felt extremely familiar to her.

"A sneer? He deliberately lost to the younger generation of various sects in the martial arts world before because he had a conflict with his brother and wanted to embarrass him. It's normal that he lost again this time. It must have been intentional."

"My lady, could you take another look?"

"The young master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect coldly sneered as he unleashed his family's secret technique, the Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear. However, during the attack, he inadvertently suffered a backlash, causing him to vomit blood and sustain severe injuries... What happened? Given Leng Xiao's understanding of the Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear, this shouldn't have happened..."

Leng Honglou frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Leng Xiao is the only son of Leng Lingtong, the elder brother of Leng Honglou.

According to seniority, Leng Xiao is Leng Honglou's nephew, and when they meet, Leng Xiao has to call Leng Honglou "aunt".

"As far as I know, the Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear only becomes a killing move from the twentieth move onwards after the nineteenth. This little girl named Wen Zhao is truly remarkable for forcing Leng Xiao to use the twentieth move of the Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear. Leng Xiao was probably afraid of really hurting the girl, so he stopped halfway and his internal energy became chaotic, which injured himself. That kid even knows how to be chivalrous now? Tsk tsk tsk, I thought he was like his father..."

As Li Zigui murmured his feelings, the image of a tall, aloof man appeared in his mind.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen my brother-in-law...
