Chapter 343: The Honest Young Master (Part )
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi's song "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms" ruined the poetry gathering, and he told Xiang Ying and Jing Xin that he wanted to walk back by himself. So what did he want to do? Let's read on.
Li Yi left the Jing Family's West Courtyard, found a secluded spot outside the city, and howled to the sky. Not long after, Mo Bai ran to Li Yi, wagging his tail, and asked in a voice transmission, "Did you bring your tail with you?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "I brought it here on purpose. Otherwise, how would you get into the city?"
Mo Bai's eyes lit up blue and he asked, "She was a woman. Did you sleep with her?"
Li Yi slapped her on the head and cursed: "I'm not a dog. I'm not going to treat you like a jerk when I see you!"
Mo Bai glanced at him and said, "I don't think you're much worse! What's your plan?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Let her see you and let her take you into the city. This will save you a lot of trouble. Be smart. I'm using the alias Wei Le now. Don't tell me about it."
Mo Bai and Li Yi were joking while communicating with each other: "I don't know how to communicate with ordinary people, so how could I say that I exposed my mouth? In my impression, humans are not good people!"
Li Yi asked doubtfully: "What about me?"
Mo Bai smiled and said, "You? You are not a human! I have always treated you as a beast!"
Li Yi gave Mo Bai a good beating, making him scream. After the beating, Li Yi rested his head on Mo Bai and shouted, "Have you seen enough? Come out!"
Xiang Ying came out shyly, waved at Mo Bai, and asked, "Is this your dog? It's so big! It seems like you two are having a lot of fun! I just happened to pass by and saw you playing with the dog, so I came over to check it out. I didn't mean to follow you."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Her name is Mobai. She is not my dog but my partner."
Mo Bai turned her head and licked Li Yi's face. Li Yi reached out and pushed her head away and said with a smile: "Is there any way to help me bring her in?"
Xiang Ying nodded and said, "Of course you can bring her in, but you can't walk around the streets with such a big dog, right?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "I can't, but you can. You can take her with you when you patrol the streets in the future. When the people in Baidi City get used to it, I will take her with me. In this way, you can travel freely in Baidi City, right?"
Xiang Ying was surprised and asked, "Ah? Will this work? What if it doesn't listen to me?"
Li Yi stood up and said, "Mo Bai, go and say hello and ask her to take you into the city. You can walk around the city with her and protect her well. You can see that she is still very weak."
Mo Bai walked up to Xiang Ying and called out to her as a greeting, then sat down next to her.
Xiang Ying touched her head and said with a smile: "I'm just a lot worse than you, but I'm actually quite good!"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "You know nothing about my world. Let me tell you a secret about me, and you are not allowed to tell anyone else. By the way, you have to arrange a good place for her to live. She must not live in a doghouse."
Xiang Ying rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean by that? Tell me a secret? Do you think I really want to know your secret? You ask me for help with a secret? Tsk!"
Li Yi spread his hands and said, "Don't want to? Forget it, Mo Bai, let's go and find another way to get into the city."
Mo Bai stood up and was about to go with Li Yi, but Xiang Ying stretched out her hand to stop him, saying, "It's not that I won't help you, but you have to let me think about how to help you. It's easy to get into the city, but it's hard to find a place to live, and you can't live with me. I got it! Can't I find you a separate yard? That way it will be convenient for me to come find you."
Li Yi asked: "Are you talking like a human being? Why do you, an unmarried woman, always come to me?"
Xiang Ying said unhappily: "You promised me that you would practice sword skills with me! Why do you want to break your promise?"
Li Yi said with an "oh", "Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it. Okay, then you think of a way." Then he took Mo Bai and walked towards the city.
Xiang Ying stopped him and asked, "You haven't told me your secret yet!"
Li Yi waved his hand and Xiang Ying walked forward. He whispered in Xiang Ying's ear: "Mobai is not an ordinary dog, she is a spiritual beast. She is stronger than you in terms of strength, so I asked her to protect you!"
Xiang Ying pushed Li Yi and shouted, "Who are you kidding? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? You're a spirit beast, and you're even more powerful than me! Wei Le, do you really think I'm a fool?"
Li Yi shook his head and reached out to tap Mo Bai's head. Mo Bai stepped forward and sent a voice message to Xiang Ying, saying, "What do you not believe? Do you not believe that I am a spirit beast, or do you not believe that I am stronger than you!"
Xiang Ying was startled and looked around. Mo Bai sent a voice message again: "Don't look. I am talking to you. I usually don't talk to people. He asked me to protect you, so I am talking to you."
Xiang Ying looked at Mo Bai, then at Li Yi, and repeated this several times. This was beyond her cognition. She knew there were spirit beasts in the world, but she had never seen one, let alone knew that spirit beasts could talk! Xiang Ying pointed at Mo Bai and said, "She, she, she, is she really a spirit beast, and a female?"
Li Yi motioned her to calm down, then smiled and said, "My experience is like a legend to ordinary people. Are you curious?"
Xiang Ying nodded repeatedly. Li Yi laughed and said as he walked: "When you settle Mo Bai, I can tell you a little bit of my story. You have always wanted to know more about me. You must seize the opportunity given to you."
Xiang Ying responded and followed Li Yi and Mo Bai, and asked, "So you weren't lying when you said Mo Bai was better than me? Is she really better than me?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "You shouldn't have any problem fighting four or five of them!"
Xiang Ying said unhappily: "I don't believe it!"
Mo Bai transmitted the message: "If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Xiang Ying looked at Mo Bai with a guilty look, then asked, "How old is Mo Bai?"
Li Yi scratched his head and said, "I don't know, but he must be several hundred years old at least. How old are you, Mo Bai?"
Xiang Ying exclaimed in amazement: "How many hundreds of years old?"
Mo Bai transmitted a message to the two of them: "I don't know either, but when I was a child, my father told me that the Central Plains was a country called Da Zhou."
Xiang Ying was stunned, and kept exclaiming all the way as he followed Li Yi and Mo Bai to the city gate.
The soldier at the gate saw Xiang Ying coming over with the man who had been sparring with him in the training ground, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Captain Xiang, are you going into the city? Who is this dog?"
Xiang Ying said sternly: "Don't worry about it. I specially found a helper. She will accompany me to patrol the city in the future." The soldier saluted and let him go. Mo Bai finally entered the city. The two people and the dog walked on the street, which attracted more attention this time.
Xiang Ying asked, "Is it okay to bring Senior Mo Bai around like this?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's not me who is showing off in the streets. It's you who is showing off in the streets. You are the one showing off in the streets. What should I be afraid of?"
Xiang Ying nodded, and Li Yi said, "Hurry up and arrange accommodation, Mo Bai can't stay in the inn."
Xiang Ying said, "How about this, you take Mo Bai to the Jing Family Villa today. I'll go back and find you a yard, find someone to arrange everything, and then let you move in."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, but you can't tell Mu Qing about Mo Bai. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it! This is a secret between you and me."
Xiang Ying smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go find Jing Xin first."
So Li Yi and Mo Bai moved into the Jing family's villa in the west of the city. Xiang Ying went to arrange accommodation for Li Yi, while Jing Xin accompanied Li Yi to chat in the villa.
Jing Xin said, "You said you were going out for a walk just for this dog?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Mobai is not a dog, he is my partner."
Jing Xin was still a little scared when she saw Mo Bai, who was much bigger than an ordinary dog. She asked, "Why is this dog so big?"
Li Yi naturally heard the hidden meaning of Jing Xin's words, touched Mo Bai's head, and said, "Mo Bai, go to the yard by yourself for a while. If you can't, you can find a bed to sleep. I will talk to Mu Qing."
Mobai stood up, stretched, then strolled away wagging his tail.
Li Yi shouted: "If you sleep on the bed, please don't bite the bedding, I can't afford to pay for it!"
Mo Bai turned around and called out as a response, then ran away.
Jing Xin asked: "Is this dog so human-like?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Of course, she can understand everything you say. To me, she is not a dog, but a partner. Do you understand?"
Jing Xin asked, "She's not your dream lover, right?"
Li Yi just took a sip of tea and spat it out. Seeing Master Wei's embarrassed look, Jing Xin covered her face and laughed. Li Yi wiped his mouth and nose and said, "Your joke is not funny at all!"
Jing Xin chuckled and said, "Brother Wei, what do talented people like you usually do? What do you do for fun?"
Li Yi immediately understood that Jing Xin still admired the Li Yi in her heart, so he said: "In fact, Li Yi is not as good as you think. He is actually an ordinary person, just a fraud."
Jing Xin immediately turned hostile and said angrily: "Brother Wei, your talent is indeed not inferior to Li Lefu, but Mu Qing doesn't think you are better than him!"
Li Yi reached out and took the wooden sign from his waist and handed it to Jing Xin, who took it and asked, "What is this?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "This is the evidence that Li Yi deceived the world and stole his reputation."
Jing Xin looked at the wooden sign and smiled: "Is the one on it your dream lover? I didn't expect Brother Wei to be so stupid as to fall in love with the legendary fairy. However, the fairy on the wooden sign is really beautiful."
Jing Xin saw the poem on the back of the wooden plaque, "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart." She suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked over the wooden plaque again and again and was sure that it was definitely not new. Judging from its weight, wood grain, smell and patina, it must be at least a hundred years old!
She held up the plaque and asked, "What's going on? Why are there verses from Li Yuefu on such an old plaque?"
Li Yi took back the wooden sign and hung it around his waist and said with a smile: "You have already guessed the answer, why are you still asking?"
Jing Xin was angry and wanted to know clearly. Li Yi stretched out his hand to signal her to sit down and said with a smile: "I will share a secret with you. You must promise not to tell anyone, not even Xiang Ying!"
Jing Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I promise not to tell anyone. Now you can give me an explanation!"
Li Yi smiled and said, "In fact, Li Yi and I are very familiar with each other. We are not acquainted, but very familiar with each other. We are brothers from the same school."
Jing Xin couldn't believe her ears and exclaimed, "Brother Wei, are you telling the truth?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "The fairy on this wooden sign is not only the one in my dream, but also the one in his dream. And this poem was not written by him, but by our teacher."
Jing Xin suddenly asked, "Could that fairy be your junior sister from the same sect?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Not Junior Sister, but Senior Sister."
Jing Xin was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Is this senior sister really an immortal?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Do you believe that there are immortals in this world?"
Jing Xin replied: "Although I have never seen it, I know about Taoism. The second-grade Taoist is a true immortal, a real immortal."
Li Yi smiled and nodded. Jing Xin suddenly had an idea and asked, "Wait, wait, you don't want to say that this senior sister raised you two since you were young, and then when you grew up, you both fell in love with this senior sister at the same time, right?"
Li Yi smiled but said nothing. Jing Xin asked, "Oh my God, is this senior sister much older than you? Much, much older?"
Li Yi nodded, and Jing Xin muttered, "Oh my God, this, this script wouldn't dare to write this, so what then, what happened next?"
