"Brother is being inappropriate again."
Lu Xueqi withdrew her hand swiftly, feigning composure.
Ever since she learned that Buddhism, Taoism, and demons all originated from the same source, she didn't know how she felt. Before she knew it, she had arrived at Li Qing'an's door.
"What did you go to do just now, brother?"
"I saw three decent cultivators and decided to take them in to help me with some things."
As Li Qingan replied, he stepped forward, took Lu Xueqi's hand, and then held her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.
"Brother!" Lu Xueqi struggled slightly in Li Qing'an's arms, her voice filled with undisguised shyness.
Looking at the girl in his arms, Li Qing'an suddenly had an idea. He whispered in her ear, "Xiao Xueqi, how about I go to Xiaozhu Peak in a few years to propose marriage to Master Shuiyue?"
Lu Xueqi, whose face was already flushed from Li Qingan's proximity, turned even redder upon hearing these words. She abruptly pushed Li Qingan away, maintaining her distance and lowering her head.
But her toes are not visible, she is truly a beauty beyond compare!
She had imagined this scene countless times, wondering if it would happen decades later, or a few years later, or when they both died, but for all these scenarios, she had only one answer.
Or rather, there's only one answer: yes!
"Xiao Xueqi, does this mean you agree?"
Li Qingan looked at the shy girl in front of him who had lowered her head, and then slowly said.
Lu Xueqi didn't reply, but gripped the Tianya sword tightly in her hand, quickly returned to her room, and as she closed the door, whispered, "It's all up to you, brother!"
With Li Qing'an's hearing, he could hear those words even without using any magic, and his face lit up with pride.
She happily skipped and hopped her way back to her room.
What a beautiful day!
The following day, the rain that had started the previous evening had long since stopped, and the appearance of the bright sun brought with it a rainbow.
Li Qingan opened the door with a smile on his face; the corners of his mouth hadn't left his lips since last night.
"Xueqi, let's go have breakfast, and then continue our journey."
Li Qingan took Lu Xueqi's hand and walked towards the inn's lobby.
“Brother, since we’re going to do that, we can’t be this intimate.”
Looking at Li Qingan's face, Lu Xueqi recalled what happened last night and couldn't help but say weakly.
"What? I can't remember!"
Li Qingan smiled and said, but still held the slender, long, and slightly cold hand.
He wouldn't listen; those were the rules after the engagement, not the current rules.
Let’s put one thing at a time!
"Hmph, if my brother can't remember, then so be it!"
Lu Xueqi's expression changed, she snorted coldly, withdrew her hand, and walked towards the inn's lobby.
"Xueqi?" Li Qingan was confused, but still chased after her.
Little did he know that Lu Xueqi, upon hearing the news, also didn't sleep a wink all night, her face beaming with uncontrollable joy.
Hearing Li Qingan jokingly say "I can't remember" reminded her of Li Qingan's popularity with women, making her feel anxious and uncertain.
The two entered the lobby.
Lu Xueqi deliberately sat in a remote spot, but Li Qingan still shamelessly sat down next to her.
If your wife is angry, you have to coax her!
I ordered some food from the waiter.
Then I saw an old man and a young man coming down from upstairs, each holding a banner that read "The Immortal Points the Way."
"Grandpa, it's big brother!" Xiao Huan called out to Zhou Yixian as she looked at Li Qing'an sitting in the main hall.
Xiao Huan immediately ran over to Li Qing'an's side.
She's lost her candied hawthorns!
Zhou Yixian walked up reluctantly; he didn't want to see Li Qing'an.
Li Qingan smiled and made room for Zhou Yixian and the other person to sit down.
As for Zhang Xiaofan and the other two, they were to find a place to sit on their own.
"Big brother?" Lu Xueqi wasn't really angry to begin with, but she was curious when she saw Xiao Huan running over.
However, seeing Li Qing'an catching up with the two, he remained silent.
"Xiao Huan, what are you doing here with your grandfather!"
Li Qingan patted Xiao Huan's head and asked.
It might be a major battle between good and evil forces that's about to break out on Liubo Mountain. It's not safe for the two of them to come here!
"My grandfather and I have been wandering all the way here."
Xiao Huan looked at Li Qing'an with a pitiful expression, blinking her eyes.
"Wandering?" Li Qingan asked curiously. He remembered that when they met a few years ago, Zhou Yixian had given him all his money.
"It's all Grandpa's fault. He spends money so extravagantly, and he always says that money is just an external thing, and it will come back after it's spent."
Xiao Huan looked at her grandfather, then glanced at Li Qing'an, and said, "Now I don't even have any candied hawthorns left."
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingan smiled. This was probably the little girl's real purpose.
“It’s alright, I’ll take you shopping after breakfast!” Li Qingan said without any hesitation.
Xiao Huan nodded, her eyes squinting at the thought of eating candied hawthorns again.
Then she looked at Lu Xueqi next to Li Qingan and asked curiously, "Is this your wife, big brother? They look so well-matched!"
Chapter 87 Fortune Telling! A Chaotic Demon's Fate! Red Clouds Covering the Top
This statement came out.
Before Li Qingan could react, Lu Xueqi's porcelain-white face turned red again.
Looking at Xiao Huan, he stammered, unsure of what to say.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Huan's eyes lit up. Having traveled all over the country with Zhou Yixian, she had naturally met countless people.
She understood what was going on when she saw Lu Xueqi glancing at Li Qingan from time to time.
Zhou Yixian stroked his beard, thinking to himself, "Red clouds cover the sky, red clouds cover the sky!"
Seeing this, Li Qingan remembered his earlier worries and said, "Xiao Huan, stop teasing your sister Xueqi. She's very shy. I'll have her take you out to buy candied hawthorns!"
"Xueqi?" Li Qingan turned to look at Lu Xueqi.
He still doesn't know if his Xueqi is still angry.
Lu Xueqi nodded. She had a great liking for this sweet-talking girl. She got up and took Xiao Huan's hand, walking outside.
Only after the two left did Li Qingan speak.
"Senior should know that the East Sea is currently teeming with both righteous and demonic forces, and a great battle is very likely to break out!"
Although he did not doubt Zhou Yixian's ability to gather information, he had focused all his skills on escape techniques and some divination techniques.
If a fight breaks out, no one can predict how things will turn out.
“I know.” Zhou Yixian nodded and then shook her head. “Xiao Huan is too kind. I plan to let her see this scene and broaden her horizons.”
"In this world, good people don't live long!" Zhou Yixian lamented.
“Take you for example, kid. Although I can’t see your face, I can tell from your personality that you’re a menace and will live a long time.”
Zhou Yixian's words made Li Qingan's face turn ashen. If you're going to praise someone, just praise them. What's the meaning of praising and criticizing at the same time?
A carrot and a whip, right?
At this moment, outside the inn, Lu Xueqi was also leading Xiao Huan towards the place where candied hawthorns were sold.
"Sister Xueqi, how did you and Big Brother meet?" Xiao Huan looked up at the exceptionally beautiful Lu Xueqi and asked.
Lu Xueqi recalled the first four years with Li Qingan, a slight smile playing on her lips. She then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and began to speak slowly.
"I've known him since we were little. He's like an older brother to me, and we joined the Qingyun Sect together!"
"Then wouldn't you two be considered childhood sweethearts?"
Lu Xueqi nodded shyly and coquettishly!
"Sister Xueqi is so pretty! It's a pity I'm not a boy, otherwise I would snatch you away from my older brother when I grow up."
Xiao Huan, captivated by Lu Xueqi's smile, suddenly had the idea of competing with Li Qing'an for the woman.
"Xiao Huan will be very beautiful in the future!"
Lu Xueqi didn't care about Xiao Huan's jokes; she only had one person in her heart.
"Sister Xueqi, candied hawthorn!"
Xiao Huan saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns nearby and quickly ran over.
........
Inn lobby
Zhang Xiaofan and Qi Hao also came down, and seeing Li Qingan talking to an old man with a slender and otherworldly appearance, they did not disturb him.
They just didn't want to bother Zhou Yixian, but Zhou Yixian's old habit relapsed.
Seeing two more young men who looked wealthy approaching, he stroked his gray beard with one hand and held a cloth banner in the other. He walked up to them and said...
"Young men, are you planning to visit Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea?"
"May I ask what guidance you have for us, senior?" Qi Hao and the other man asked respectfully.
The founder of Qingyun Sect was originally a fortune teller. If they look down on him, it's the same as looking down on themselves.
