Chapter Thirteen. Going to the Promise

"What." Li Xianyuan's face darkened, he broke away from the bustard and stood up.

The Madam was pushed so hard that she almost fell off her seat. She was stunned for a moment and then covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't worry, I think she has extraordinary skills and she will be fine."

Li Xianyuan ignored him and walked quickly to the door. Just after taking a few steps, he heard the Madam's sweet voice behind him.

"Do you really want to leave? The slave family is so petty. If you don't obey, the slave family will remember it forever~"

Li Xianyuan ignored him and disappeared through the door.

"Little lady, I, I have never seen you in this brothel before. Are you a newcomer, ah? Hehehehe..." The speaker was drunk, and he was unsteady and swaying from side to side.

"Who are you?" Ji Canghai frowned slightly, angry at the two drunkards standing in front of him.

In the moonlight, the lanterns illuminate Ji Canghai's beautiful face, making people unable to take their eyes away. Naturally, there will be no gentlemen who come to this romantic place to look for flowers and flowers. The drunken young people will naturally flirt with each other and make fun of her.

The people around were just watching the fun, and another person also laughed and said: "It is very pitiful that you were sold to a brothel at such a young age. How about we brothers redeem you and treat you well."

The two looked at each other and laughed lustfully. One of them reached out to touch Ji Canghai's cheek.

Anger flashed in Ji Canghai's eyes, and he subconsciously reached out to touch his sword. After searching for a moment, he remembered that he had left all his things in the inn when he changed into men's clothes.

Seeing that the drunkard's dirty hand was about to touch Ji Canghai's cheek, he suddenly stretched out a hand to block it, and with a twist, the latter let out an ouch of pain, covered his wrist, knelt down on the ground and screamed.

"Immortal fate!" Ji Canghai looked happy when he saw the visitor.

Li Xianyuan used a bit of strength with a cold face, and then twisted. The drunk man involuntarily turned his back to Li Xianyuan.

After all, I am just a young man and don't have much strength, so I can only rely on my skill to temporarily subdue him. When the companion next to him wakes up, he will probably be in a mess.

Thinking of this, Li Xianyuan flew up and put his foot on the drunken man's butt. The drunkard staggered forward for a few steps, and finally plunged into Qinghu Lake.

With a splash, water splashed everywhere. The eyes of the people around and on the bridge were attracted.

"Let's go." Li Xianyuan pulled Ji Canghai up, and before the people around him could react, he squeezed through the crowd and fled.

Pulling Ji Canghai and running across the stone bridge, Li Xianyuan ran two more streets before stopping. Panting slightly, he looked behind him and saw that no one was chasing him.

"You sent Patriarch Quan Xia Youzhi to jump out of the coffin and beat you." Li Xianyuan didn't know what to say to Ji Canghai: "Two drunkards can bully you, but what about your spells and magic weapons?"

After running for two streets, Ji Canghai looked like a normal person. He put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "I haven't built a foundation yet, so where can I get the magic weapon? Besides, I didn't have you just now."

"What if I'm not here?" Li Xianyuan tidied up her hair that was scattered due to running.

"Hehe, you are caring about me." Ji Canghai didn't realize anything, but he came up to stare at Li Xianyuan's face with a shy face.

Li Xianyuan opened his mouth to speak when a piece of paper was blown by the wind for no apparent reason and stuck to Li Xianyuan's face.

Ji Canghai pointed at Li Xianyuan without any image, holding his stomach and laughing. Li Xianyuan strangely opened the paper and looked up.

The paper was a page from a book, torn out individually. However, the entire page was blackened with black ink, leaving only a few white spots.

Every bit of blank space is a word, and when put together it becomes - Don't forget your previous promise

Previous promise...

Li Xianyuan thought for a moment and looked around.

Only then did he realize that there was no one on this street, and it was empty and silent under the moonlight.

Ji Canghai realized it later, looked around, put his hand on the maroon antique sachet on his waist: "Who is pretending to be a ghost?"

Li Xianyuan patted Ji Canghai on the shoulder and said, "Canghai, you go back to the inn first, I have something to deal with."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Ji Canghai put down his guard and tilted his head to look at Li Xianyuan.

Li Xianyuan shook his head: "No, I am enough."

Ji Canghai nodded obediently: "Okay. Then I'll go back to the inn and wait for you."

Li Xianyuan nodded and walked forward alone.

Ji Canghai stopped where he was and watched Li Xianyuan walk to the end of the street and disappear around the corner. Suddenly he laughed like a little fox who had succeeded, and turned back the way he came, arriving at a quiet alley not far from Shangfangyuan.

Two people had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Ji Canghai approaching, they came forward with smiles on their faces: "Miss, we have followed your instructions, and we have also received this beating. You see..."

The two men smelled of alcohol, and one of them was soaked and dripping with water. They were the two drunkards who had previously molested Ji Canghai in the Shangfang Courtyard.

"Take it." Ji Canghai waved his Taoist robe, and a few pieces of snow-white silver flew out and landed in the drunk man's hand.

The drunkard gritted his teeth and put away his smile. Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed: "Miss, your best friend was really harsh... My companion was kicked into the river and his whole body was cold. Why don't you give me more?"

OK, let’s go see a doctor?”

After losing his money, the drunkard became greedy again.

Ji Canghai snorted coldly and shot out a few more broken pieces of silver.

"Take the money and leave quickly. You must keep secret what happened today. Once word spreads... you know the consequences.

"I understand, young lady. From now on, when we brothers see you and the young master walking around, we will say goodbye first." After taking the money, the two drunkards nodded and bowed and ran past Ji Canghai. Ji Canghai walked out of the alley.

, I saw the two drunkards walking into another brothel arm in arm.

"Dirty man." Ji Canghai sneered. Someone's profile appeared in his mind and he smiled like a girl in love with spring: "My family has a good relationship with immortals. I only come to Chunlou to watch the fun."



The silvery moonlight shone on the streets and houses. There was no one on the streets. Occasionally, paper money was blown by the wind and rolled on the ground.

The tall gated mansion looks ferocious in the shadow of the majestic stone lion in front of the door. The red lacquered door is tightly closed. Two high-hanging pale white lanterns sway slightly in the wind.

The words "Die" on the lantern are distorted and projected on the street by the candlelight, like a withered strange hand.

In such a quiet and cold street, a figure walked from a distance.

The figure came to the front of the Gaomen mansion and stepped up the steps. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door knocker in Jiao Tu's mouth.

Bang bang bang——

The sound of knocking on the door sounded very far in the quiet street.

After a moment, footsteps sounded from behind the door, approaching quickly.

Ga——

The door was opened a crack, and a white lantern poked out first, then a head wearing a hat.

The servant looked at Li Xianyuan strangely: "It's so late, who are you looking for?"

Li Xianyuan handed over his hand: "Please tell the second lady that Li Xianyuan is here to visit."

Just as a cloud passed by, it blocked the moonlight and cast a large shadow. The already quiet street became even darker.

The servant shivered inexplicably, and his voice trembled: "Second, second young lady..."

Probably because he remembered that he was the servant of the Li family and had nothing to be afraid of. The servant plucked up the courage and said, "The second lady has died of illness, didn't you know?"

"Then please inform the old lady."
