Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Jiang Xiyue froze in place as if struck by lightning.

At this moment, she felt that the majesty of being a cousin was no longer there.

There was silence outside the bathhouse, except for the rustling of the bamboos in the night wind.

The cousins ​​remained silent in a tacit agreement and neither spoke.

When Li Guanhai finished washing and opened the door, he found that Jiang Xiyue was no longer there.

He grinned and returned to the room.

Not long after, the door of the main room was pushed open, Jiang Xiyue walked out, entered the bathhouse, and took away the pink bellyband that she had forgotten on the wooden shelf and had a lot of water stains.

She did not return to the main house, but glanced sideways at the house where Li Guanhai lived, walked out of the courtyard, turned into a rainbow and flew towards the tall building surrounded by buildings.

In the teahouse on the high-rise building, a couple sent away several sad-looking clan elders, and the two returned to sit down at the low table.

The couple looked to be in their thirties. The man had regular features, a high nose, and a gentle and elegant temperament.

The woman sitting next to him was very beautiful and outstanding, with an oval face, a sharp white chin, and fair and delicate skin. She was a well-maintained and extremely charming woman.

The woman sighed with a magnetic and beautiful voice: "Although the elders of the clan are a bit harsh in their words, what they said is not unreasonable. I hope you will consider it seriously."

This beautiful woman is Jiang Xiyue's mother, Jiang Rou.

The man named Li Chengwang remained silent.

Jiang Rou, who has used a pseudonym for more than ten years, said: "I know you are reluctant to let go, but this is the general trend. There is nothing we can do about it. It cannot be changed by human beings. But there is still a lot of time left for us. There is no rush, but you have to be aware of it. , after all, you are the lord of this city."

The topic that the couple just discussed with a group of clan elders was about migration and refuge. The clan elders believe that the erosion of the Far North is uncontrollable. Although it is still far from this paradise, it will spread sooner or later.

So they unanimously expressed their intention to move the whole family to the south. This should have been a natural decision, but Li Chengwang was a little reluctant to do so.

Over the years, he devoted all his efforts to running this city, and his hard work paid off. He successfully created a paradise with a developed economy, frequent trade, and everyone's peace and happiness.

Li Chengwang's ambition is not just this. Building Xiongcheng is only the first step, and it is also the simplest and most basic step.

In his plan, what he wanted to build was not a city, but a city-state with Xiongcheng as the center.

That will be a huge project, and it does not mean that it can be done by building one city after another. It needs to drive the economy, attract monks and people, and promote the development of trade.

There are people, there are businesses, there are interests, there are opportunities for the people to make a living, and the number of people will naturally increase.

Li Chengwang has already planned his future clearly and in order.

But at this time, the erosion was out of control. Although it was still far away, he knew in his heart that it would not take long to reach here. Even if he didn't leave now, he would leave then.

Rather than being in a hurry when things get tough, it is better to make a decision earlier, move the whole family south, and start from scratch.

Li Chengwang is a smart man, he sees the pros and cons very clearly, but he just can't let it go.

"well."

He sighed and came to the window. Looking out from the tall building, thousands of lights came into view, people were coming and going in the lively market, and the lights above the city were dazzling.

Jiang Rou looked at her husband's back and couldn't bear it.

Boom boom.

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Xiyue's voice came from outside the tea room: "Father, mother, have you rested?"

"It's Xiyue who's back."

Jiang Rou's eyes lit up and she stood up and opened the door.

Li Chengwang also put away the sadness on his face, looked at his slim daughter, and said with a smile, "When did you come back?"

Jiang Xiyue was pulled by her mother to sit down and replied: "I just came back."

Jiang Rou looked her up and down and asked, "Aren't you on the front line killing enemies with your master? How come you have time to come back? Could it be that the war situation has improved?"

Jiang Xiyue shook her head: "The battle situation is still the same."

She suddenly smiled mysteriously and lowered her voice: "Mom and dad, guess who I brought back?"

The couple looked at each other, Li Chengwang was expressionless, Jiang Rou asked tentatively: "Your Taoist companion?"

"ah?"

Jiang Xiyue was stunned, her pretty cheeks turned red, and she shook her head: "No, it's Li Guanhai. Haven't you always wanted to meet him? This time he came to the far north to help out and offered to visit you, so I will Brought him back."

Li Chengwang looked outside the door repeatedly, "Where are the others?"

Jiang Xiyue sat casually and picked up the cakes on the table, "Oh, he said it was a bit late today and he would come back tomorrow. He is living in my small courtyard now."

Jiang Rou smiled and said: "I often hear people say that the child Guan Hai is handsome and graceful. He was only a little bit older back then, but I really didn't realize it."

Li Chengwang said: "Appearances are nothing. Rumor has it that he is the number one young person in the upper world. When he was on Silver Moon Island, he once defeated Dragon Clan Ao Wuji without the ability to fight back. Later, he defeated the powerful quasi-immortal realm in the South Navy Camp. Undefeated, this talent is the most shocking.”

Jiang Rou looked at her daughter, curious: "What state is he in now?"

Jiang Xiyue swallowed the cake in her mouth and said, "Xuanxian Realm."

The words were shocking, and the couple was shocked. They looked at each other, and saw the astonishment and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Li Chengwang shook his head and sighed: "He should be the first person in the Xuanxian Realm with a bone age of early thirty since the beginning of the world."

Jiang Rou smiled: "I want to see him more and more."

The family of three chatted for a while, and Jiang Xiyue took the initiative to leave, "Mom and dad, you've had a hard day, take a good rest, I'm going back to practice too."

…

The next day.

The two pretty maids opened the door to the small courtyard, tiptoed into the kitchen, and began to prepare breakfast.

This is Jiang Rou's order. She is careful and thoughtful, and will not be careless about even these small things.

Li Guanhai stretched out and walked out of the house. He did not practice last night, but lay on the bed and slept comfortably. He woke up in the morning full of energy.

Not long after, Jiang Xiyue also woke up. Thinking of the embarrassing things that happened last night, her face looked a little unnatural.

After eating some food prepared by the maid, Jiang Xiyue said, "I will take you to see your father and the others."

"Are you still up yet?" Li Guanhai asked.

"No, my parents have always been very light sleepers. My father wakes up before dawn every day to handle affairs in the city."

Just like the emperor, he has to go to court every day.

Li Guanhai was thinking like this, nodded, and followed Jiang Xiyue to the high-rise building.

On the way, she met many people of her lineage, who all greeted her with a smile and looked at Li Guanhai with hidden eyes, curious about his identity.

Being able to follow Jiang Xiyue must have an extraordinary status.

Li Guanhai asked in a low voice: "Didn't it say that the city is forbidden to fly? Then why did you fly up to a high building last night?"

Jiang Xiyue glanced at him sideways: "There is no one at night, and the patrol can't see me."
