Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 214 Lotus Tower (17)

Upon hearing the news that Li Xiangyi, who had disappeared for nearly ten years, had reappeared in the world, Shan Gudao, who had been restless, finally couldn't suppress his inner anxiety, so Fang Duobing met him in Lingshan Sect this time.

After all, for a full ten years, no one knew why he had been in hiding. Now, hearing that Li Xiangyi has reappeared in the world and has just shown up, the reason is really puzzling.

However, these did not affect Shan Gudao's continued planning of the big game in his mind - painting a vague and beautiful blueprint for others.

In fact, the most important reason is that Shan Gudao has very few subordinates who can really be used. Although he has taken the trouble to train a few subordinates with some ability in recent years, the overall strength is still very limited. Because of this, Shan Gudao made an exception and showed up in public this time, and actively formed an alliance with others to try to overthrow the current court regime.

To be fair, Shan Gudao's move was extremely stupid! He wanted to ascend the throne, but was too stingy to spend money to recruit and cultivate talents, so that there was no power of his confidants in the court. How could such a group of unorganized and undisciplined people accomplish great things?

……

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, illuminating the entire house. Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi were in the bathroom preparing to wash up, when suddenly, Ji Xiao felt as if her heart had missed a beat.

This strange feeling made her alert, as if it indicated that something would happen today, but she had no idea whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

So, Ji Xiao put down the items in her hand, stretched out one hand and began to calculate. After a moment, she frowned and said to Li Xiangyi thoughtfully: "Xiangyi, I just calculated that Shan Gudao actually appeared in Lingshan Sect."

This news is undoubtedly exciting for the two of them. However, Ji Xiao immediately added: "But since we came here, I have never done divination, so I am not sure whether the result is accurate this time. But according to common sense, it should be close to 90%. "

Li Xiangyi smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care about the accuracy. He comforted: "It doesn't matter, even if it's not accurate, it doesn't matter. Just join in the fun and watch this farce. Originally, we planned to go to Baichuanyuan first, but now that the situation has changed, let's change the route and go to Lingshan Sect."

"Well, that's a good idea." Ji Xiao nodded and said, "Then I'll make some simple food later, and you'll be responsible for driving."

"No problem." Li Xiangyi agreed readily.

After the division of labor was clear, the two of them got busy. Ji Xiao went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast, while Li Xiangyi went out and sat at the shaft to drive the carriage. When the carriage drove out of the city gate and came to the deserted road, Li Xiangyi let the horse drive on its own. He went into the house to help, and then after the two of them finished breakfast, they put away the carriage and performed the graceful steps to rush to Lingshan Sect like a gust of wind.

When the two arrived at their destination, they saw that the Lingshan Sect was crowded and noisy. It seemed that the time had not yet come, so the ceremony had not officially started. However, as soon as they entered the sect, Li Xiangyi caught a glimpse of Shan Gudao in the bustling crowd.

He quickly pulled Ji Xiao's arm tightly and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, look over there! I found Shan Gudao. The show hasn't started yet, so let's not go down for now. Since we meet him here, he won't be able to escape even if he has wings."

"I understand." Ji Xiao responded softly.

After a brief conversation, the two men moved silently, and with their superb martial arts skills and the ability to conceal their breath, they found a rooftop where no one could notice them and where they had a good view, to hide.

To ensure that nothing could go wrong, Ji Xiao took out two ignore charms and stuck them on herself and Li Xiangyi. Then, Li Xiangyi took out a multifunctional table from the space and gently placed it between the two of them. Ji Xiao took out melon seeds, peanuts, tea and exquisite snacks from the space she carried with her and placed them on the table one by one. In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, Ji Xiao also took out two bamboo pen holders to act as trash cans.

And Fang Duobing below was not accompanied by Li Xiangyi this time, nor did he stand side by side with Shan Gudao. Instead, he stood alone with Li'er, watching Wangfu participate in the child selection ceremony.

It was not until he saw several candidates for spiritual children below on fire that Ji Xiao began to comment: "Their method is really full of loopholes."

"Well, even if it was done by those quacks down the mountain, their methods are probably much more sophisticated than this." Seeing the farce unfolding below, both of them showed disgust on their faces, but apart from being a bit stupid, Fang Duobing also had some good points. For example, among so many people present, he was the only one who shouted for help first.

"Xiang Yi, look at the leader of Lingshan Sect. Not only is he extremely greedy, but even the housekeeper and his subordinates are the same."

"That's quite true." While the two were chatting, the situation had already developed to the point where the leader of Lingshan Sect was about to ascend to heaven. However, at the moment the mechanism was activated, they saw the butler slap him hard on the back.

This time, the leader of the Lingshan Sect really died! If anyone knew that the two had discovered this, someone would definitely stand up and accuse them, saying, "Since you knew that things would develop to this point, why didn't you choose to save a life in the first place?"

If the two of them heard this, they would definitely retort: ​​"Why should we save him? Is it because he is older than us? Or is it just because he is a human being? If we want to continue to survive in the world, we should fully consider the human nature. However, the human heart is originally extremely complex and fickle. After living for so many years, he is still confused and arrogant. Why should such a person be saved?"

Maybe someone will use his young children as an excuse to try to restrain and kidnap him morally. But to such remarks, the two would only respond indifferently: "Sorry, I have no morals at all. How can you use so-called morality to hold me hostage?"

He already has a beautiful wife and lovely children, so why would he take such a risk? In the final analysis, he is just reluctant to give up the power he holds tightly in his hands!

Moreover, Lingshan Sect had expressly prohibited its disciples from marrying and having children, so why did he knowingly violate the sect rules and openly defy them? Did he really have to have this child? This was simply stupid!'
