Chapter 1035: Luo Xi’s Experiences
"What? You don’t want to visit my home?"
Jiang Yiyi stood in front of Liu Zixuan and asked.
Liu Zixuan shook his head and teasingly chuckled, "Are you inviting me in the tone of my wife to meet my future father-in-law?"
Jiang Yiyi’s face flushed with a hint of red, and she glared at him, "You’re really shameless, ’father-in-law’! Aren’t you afraid my dad will slap you away if he hears it?"
"Actually, I’m not afraid at all!"
Liu Zixuan spread his hands and laughed, "No matter how unreasonable your dad is, he wouldn’t hit someone who can’t even truss a chicken!"
"That’s somewhat true, that person..." Jiang Yiyi was mid-sentence then suddenly retorted, "It’s your dad who’s unreasonable!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Zixuan grinned widely, "Alright, I’m just joking with you. I’ll stay here for a few days first, then when I’m ready to travel around for a bit, I’ll visit Jiang Family with you. I’ve always been curious what kind of person your dad is, and never had the chance to meet him. Now that I have some free time, I naturally want to check him out!"
"When you two meet, you’ll definitely have plenty to talk about. Both of you have thick-skinned personalities, exceptionally shameless!"
Jiang Yiyi pouted. This easygoing chat with Liu Zixuan had long made her forget the words Jiang Yifan said about staying away from Liu Zixuan!
Matters of the heart aren’t something outsiders can decide; even if Jiang Yifan is powerful, he can’t determine a romance.
The two strolled along a rural path, the spring breeze mildly warm, creating a rather pleasant atmosphere.
Speaking of which, Liu Zixuan actually really enjoyed this feeling. In the past, he lived on the edge, fighting with various figures from the Celestial Dao Alliance, tired of that life of conflict and fighting.
This current life of two people, three meals, and four seasons, really has a unique charm!
Unconsciously, the two walked to the entrance of the village, just about to sit down and chat, when they noticed a silhouette... oh no, accurately speaking, two familiar figures approaching.
Liu Zixuan halted, "Luo Xi..."
"Looks like yet another close lady friend of yours has arrived!" Jiang Yiyi got up from the stone stump, "Perfect timing, I’ve arranged to go for midday tea with Sister Ruyan."
With that, Jiang Yiyi walked toward the village.
As the two got closer, Luo Xi suddenly threw herself into Liu Zixuan’s arms, tearfully murmuring, "Sorry, sorry Zixuan, I really tried, but couldn’t find a way to help you."
Liu Zixuan gently patted Luo Xi’s back, smiling softly, "Silly girl, why are you saying sorry to me?"
"Saying sorry when you shouldn’t, not saying it when you should!" The old man beside them, his hair messy and filthy-looking, with scratch marks on his face, grumbled in displeasure.
Liu Zixuan gave an apologetic smile, "I’m sorry, elder, Luo Xi she..."
"Alright, you better stop talking, or my old life will end here." The old man touched the marks on his face, grinning, "Set me up somewhere where I can eat and drink first."
"Then let me escort you over." Liu Zixuan said respectfully.
"No need, this girl definitely has a stomach full of sweet words for you; I dare not provoke her. Just point me the way!" The old man immediately waved his hand to stop him.
Liu Zixuan awkwardly smiled and pointed towards the manor’s direction, "Head straight inside, Yunxuan and the others know you, they’ll take good care of you."
After the old man left, Luo Xi also stood out from Liu Zixuan’s embrace. After examining Liu Zixuan, she asked, "Did Elder Qing already help seal it for you?"
Liu Zixuan nodded, "It’s alright now, no need to worry. But you, since leaving yesterday, I bet you haven’t rested properly, right? Let’s go grab something to eat, and then you can sleep a bit!"
"I don’t want to!"
Luo Xi seemed to pout and shook her head, holding Liu Zixuan’s arm as she sat on the stone stump, "I just want to stay by your side, every single minute and second!"
Liu Zixuan gently wrapped his arm around Luo Xi’s fragrant shoulder, "I still prefer the rebellious little punk version of Luo Xi; you’re so gentle now, that I’m sort of not used to it!"
Luo Xi turned her head to ask, "Then I’ll adjust a bit, to be the me you like."
"By the way, who exactly is that elder?" Liu Zixuan didn’t want to dwell on sentimental topics further.
"He says he’s a homeless beggar, but during this time as I stayed with him, I saw so many big figures from the Martial Realm treat him with great respect, so he must be deceiving me, obviously not a beggar."
Luo Xi furrowed her brows, "Though he often boasts and lies to me, he’s really nice to me."
"After you left Celestial Capital, did you just run into him?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"When you went to Qian Nan, I originally wanted to go to the Shadow Guard to learn some cultivation techniques that could help you. But I hadn’t actually gone yet when I met him. Back then, he really seemed like a beggar. You should’ve seen how he looked, in ragged clothes like he fled from a slum. It was a coincidence, so I gave him a few hundred bucks for a meal."
"I didn’t really pay much attention to that event, but who knew two or three days later, he found me. It was like he was stalking me, he directly found me at your clinic and said he could teach me cultivation techniques."
"And you believed him?" Liu Zixuan chuckled.
"Of course not, I’m no fool!" Luo Xi pouted, her rebellious punk-like demeanor unknowingly surfacing.
"I’ve watched Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu movies, many such folks say they can teach the most powerful martial arts, then scam you for lots of money. I thought he wanted money again, so to avoid trouble, I gave him more money. But unexpectedly, he refused and even tossed a bunch of cash onto the table, making me suspect he was involved in something illegal!"
Listening to the story, Liu Zixuan grew even more curious, "What happened next?"
"Later he performed some things right in front of me, similar to how you dealt with those guys from Celestial Capital, it was really impressive. I became half-convinced since I worried he could be a bad person. Then I proposed a condition to him, saying if he found something for me, I’d acknowledge him as my mentor."
"What thing?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Tiger teeth!" Luo Xi laughed, "People often say, those who can pull a tooth from a tiger’s mouth are experts."
Liu Zixuan couldn’t resist laughing out loud, for martial artists, this was simply too easy. But for Luo Xi, who didn’t understand realm techniques back then, it could indeed deceive her.
Of course, as it turns out, Luo Xi’s master, though bizarre, was indeed incredibly skilled!
