The two of them climbed up the tall building and arrived outside the room on the first floor below the tea room.

This is the place where Li Chengwang usually handles city affairs and discusses matters with the elders of the clans. It is relatively spacious.

The door to the room was open, and a woman's magnetic and beautiful voice came out: "Chengwang, take a rest and eat something."

Jiang Xiyue led Li Guanhai to the door and said with a smile: "Father, mother, Guanhai is here."

The couple followed the sound at the same time and carefully examined the tall young man standing behind their daughter.

Jiang Rou maintained the posture of picking up the teapot, as if frozen.

Li Chengwang held the brush in his hand. Perhaps he had too much ink on it, and the ink dripped down the tip of the pen onto the paper, spreading into a dark mess.

The two walked into the room. Li Guanhai also looked at his uncle and aunt, whom he had no memory of for a long time, and bowed politely: "Guanhai pays homage to uncle and aunt."

Jiang Rou put down the teapot, stepped forward to help him up, looked up at his face, and praised him full of praise: "Sure enough, he has beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and he looks at Shenfei. He is much more handsome than the rumors said."

This aunt is still a Yan Party member.

Li Guanhai was thinking this in his mind, and with a humble smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "Auntie is overly praised. In terms of appearance, I can only be regarded as mediocre."

Jiang Xiyue from behind curled her lips.

Li Chengwang stood up, walked around the table, held Li Guanhai's shoulders, and sighed while looking at him: "When you were still in your infancy, you were only a little older, and your uncle hugged you. More than thirty years have passed, and I will see you again." You don’t recognize it at all, time flies so fast.”

Li Guanhai smiled and said: "What happened back then was that my parents couldn't bear to deal with my uncle and aunt. Regardless of their past grudges, my uncle and aunt recognized me as their nephew. I'm very happy."

Li Chengwang smiled heartily: "It's all over. This majestic city can be as large and prosperous as it is today, thanks to your help Guanhai."

Jiang Rou echoed: "The past and the past are like clouds and smoke. It is useless to think about them. There is no need to mention them again."

Jiang Xiyue, who was ignored, went to the side and sat down on her own. This feeling of being ignored made her a little unhappy.

The three of them chatted for a long time, and finally Jiang Rou said: "Stop standing, sit down quickly."

Then he reached out and pulled him to sit down.

Li Chengwang sensed the aura on his body and raised his eyebrows: "Yesterday Xiyue said that you had broken through to the Mysterious Immortal Realm. Is this true?"

Li Guanhai nodded: "It's true, thanks to the Golden Lotus of Merit in the Earth Emperor Palace, otherwise I wouldn't have broken through so quickly."

"Golden Lotus of Merit?" Li Chengwang and his wife looked at each other and asked immediately: "You have been recognized by the Golden Lotus of Merit? I remember that the seniors in the Emperor's Palace had rigid personalities and did not know how to adapt. They would never lend the Golden Lotus of Merit. You How was it done?"

Before Li Guanhai could speak, Jiang Xiyue, who was left aside and ignored, rushed to answer: "Years ago, before the truce between the human race and the sea race, the sea race invaded the land beyond. At that time, the Earth Emperor's Palace was in critical condition. It was he who He led people to defeat a powerful enemy. It is probably because the seniors in the Earth Emperor Palace were grateful for his kindness, so they were willing to make an exception. "

Jiang Rou looked at her daughter and asked with a smile: "Xiyue, you are far away in the far north, how come you know so much about what is happening in other places?"

Jiang Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Guanhai subconsciously, and explained with a normal expression: "I've heard that too, mother, you know that Guan Hai is the center of attention wherever he goes, and there are countless rumors about him in the upper world. It’s not surprising that I know a little bit about it.”

"oh."

Jiang Rou nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After chatting for a long time, Li Chengwang glanced at the folding papers piled up on the desk and said, "In this case, I still have a lot of things to deal with. Xiyue, you take Guan Hai to the city for a nice walk. I will order people tonight." A large banquet was held to entertain people watching the sea.”

Li Guanhai waved his hand and declined: "Uncle, don't bother me."

Jiang Rou held his hand and said with a smile: "That's right. We haven't seen each other for so many years. My uncle and aunt have nothing to give to me. They can only hold a banquet to make you happy. Don't refuse. Just wait and see."

There really is nothing to give. Li Guanhai is the young master of the Yunwei Division and has a respected position. What do you want?

He lacks nothing.

Seeing Jiang Rou and Li Chengwang's insistence, Li Guanhai no longer refused and followed Jiang Xiyue out of the high-rise building.

"Hey, why do my parents like you so much? They just want to meet..."

Jiang Xiyue was halfway through speaking when she suddenly stopped talking.

Li Guanhai was curious: "What do you just want to see?"

Jiang Xiyue glared at him: "It's nothing."

Li Guanhai pondered for a long time and grinned: "It's like meeting your future son-in-law?"

Jiang Xiyue ignored him.

Li Guanhai asked: "Where are we going?"

"Chengdong." Jiang Xiyue said calmly.

"Are you going to buy puff pastry dumplings again? Didn't you just eat them yesterday?"

“You can never have too much delicious food.”

Anyway, Li Guanhai had nothing to do, so he simply followed her around the city to get a feel for the city's customs.

The sun sets over the west mountain, and the sky is getting late.

The lanterns of the street shops were lit up one after another, and there were many ordinary people on the street who came out for a walk after eating.

Jiang Xiyue took Li Guanhai out of the largest restaurant in the city. There was a banquet tonight, and there would be big dishes on the banquet, so they didn't go to eat, but to listen to music and watch a show.

This restaurant is very grand. It has a stage in the building and invites famous opera troupes, long-sleeved dancers who are good at dancing, and talented girls who are proficient in musical instruments.

The so-called talented girl is actually a girl from a nearby brothel who is not well-known but has a certain skill.

They claim that they are performing arts and not selling their bodies, but the men who go to brothels all want to have sex with each other, so they will not pay much attention to those pretentious women unless they really like them.

Of course, these girls were worried that they could not earn money from customers, so they came to perform in restaurants. Firstly, they could get paid by the restaurant, and secondly, they could promote themselves and attract customers.

Facts have proved that this method is very effective. Many girls with special skills have made a fortune by relying on this. Customers come in like clouds every day, and the threshold is almost collapsed.

As a result, coming to a restaurant to perform music has become a popular job, and the unpopular girls in the brothel are overwhelmed.

Over time, whether they are locals in the city or outsiders from outside, they all know that when they come to this restaurant, they can not only enjoy fine wine and delicious food, but also free talent shows.

There are people watching the theater, but they are only a minority. More gentlemen come to watch the dance and music. They are definitely not vulgar and greedy for their bodies, but purely to appreciate art and improve self-cultivation.

On the way back to the high-rise building, Li Guanhai said with emotion: "The girl who played the pipa just now is really amazing. Her delicate jade fingers can make the sound of wind and thunder, and a few strings can play such a chilling music, which makes people's blood boil."

Jiang Xiyue sneered: "I play the pipa well and I look pretty good, right?"

Li Guanhai was serious and spoke righteously: "I didn't say that, please don't accuse me wrongly."

Jiang Xiyue snorted coldly.
