Li Yunyang had spent most of his time in the Li family's study. Although the family valued him, it was only an extraordinary treatment for mortals. Usually, he would order his subordinates to do things and rarely walked around Luori City. Even though he was slightly famous in the Cyan Phoenix State, only a handful of people knew him.
As he weaved through the crowd, the noise around him gave Li Yunyang a different feeling. It was as if he had returned to his carefree childhood. Most of the items sold in the shops were magic scrolls and other small items that mortals could use, and the prices were not expensive. Perhaps it was different from the past, but today, there were scrolls and elemental crystal stones that only mages could use. Li Yunyang would occasionally choose something and chat with the shop owner, feeling extremely pleased. Li Yunfeng watched from the side and sighed in his heart. He hadn't seen his younger cousin smile in years. Although he was slightly older than Li Yunyang, the two of them got along well and addressed each other by name. Although Li Yunyang had two older brothers, he did not have much tacit understanding with them and had little contact with them. Moreover, Li Yunyang had requested the family to send him to the position of city lord. The two of them could get along well and get things done.
"Cousin, come to Luori City. We can also pick out some gifts to bring back.”Chen Xiaoyan looked around like a child. "Cousin, look at you. She was about to get married, yet she was still acting like a child.”Xiao Qingqing didn't forget to tease her cousin, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Who's getting married? If you want to marry, it should be Cousin who marries first." The two of them ignored the gazes of others and laughed. Xiao Qingqing herself didn't know that her usual cold self was smiling a lot more when she was with her cousin. From time to time, Xiao Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and restrained herself a little. She thought to herself, Cousin was still the best. She didn't have any schemes and could play however she wanted. She looked at her cousin with envy.
Li Yunyang was currently in a jade shop. It was said that high-grade jade was helpful for cultivation, but few people knew the exact reason. To identify jade required a certain amount of spiritual power. Buying jade was like gambling, it depended on luck. Hence, very few people visited jade shops, especially in Mortal City.
Although Li Yunyang did not know magic, he had never stopped cultivating his spiritual power all these years. Perhaps it was because he had gained something after losing something. He cultivated his spiritual power unusually quickly and had not tested it in the past five years. He only knew that his spiritual power was quite strong, but he was not sure how strong it was. Li Yunyang held a piece of jade in his hand and was about to cover it with his spiritual power when he heard laughter coming from outside. He turned around and saw two beautiful girls running in with a smile.
Li Yunyang frowned slightly and put down the jade. Perhaps he was not used to being disturbed, or it was something else. He wanted to wait for them to leave before identifying them. Although Xiao Qingqing was laughing and joking with her cousin, the expressions of the people around her did not escape her eyes. Naturally, they saw Li Yunyang's frown and reached out to hold her cousin's hand."Cousin, stop fooling around. You can't disturb others when they are identifying the jade.”"Oh!" Chen Xiaoyan seemed to have realized something and restrained herself a little. She replied softly,"Cousin, let's pick too. Who knows, we might be lucky enough to pick a good one.”The two of them also went forward to choose.
Perhaps it was because of the unusual days, but several batches of jade came to the usually deserted jade shop. Then, a man and a woman came. The woman pulled the man and acted coquettishly." Brother, I want a jade stone, but it's not included in the gift.”The man's expression was a little arrogant, but he was very gentle to the girl." Okay, okay, okay. Go and choose for yourself."”The man swept his gaze across the room and his gaze finally landed on Xiao Qingqing. His arrogant expression immediately disappeared and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He walked over and said," Miss Qingqing, you're also choosing jade. What a coincidence."”" It's Young Master Nangong!" Xiao Qingqing's tone was still as cold as ever. Li Yunyang saw that there were so many people and he could not choose quietly. He took a piece of jade and tested his luck. He released his spiritual power and saw a slight fluctuation in the jade.
"What good luck."
"Good luck."
The customers who noticed it all sighed with envy. Li Yunyang was happy as well. He immediately retracted his spiritual power and thought," His luck was really good. He would go back and properly identify it.
Li Yunyang took the jade and was about to pay the bill when he saw a young girl running towards him and shouting,""Stop right there. Don't leave yet." Li Yunyang felt that it was a little strange, so he ignored it and continued to pay the bill. "I'm calling you?" Seeing that Li Yunyang was ignoring her, the girl raised her hand and threw a scroll at him. A white light appeared and entangled Li Yunyang. The space around him seemed to freeze and he could not move. He was shocked. Li Yunyang did not expect the girl to attack him so suddenly.
"I told you not to leave, and you still want to leave?" "How does it feel?" The young girl gloated.”
The surrounding people were also alarmed. This matter had nothing to do with them, so they hung high up. Usually, no one would interfere in ordinary battles. The young lady was Nangong Haolan, and Nangong Haonan was also watching from the side. He believed that his sister would be able to deal with someone who was easily trapped by a magic scroll. Moreover, he was beside her.
"Cousin, why is Miss Nangong so overbearing?”Chen Xiaoyan said indignantly. Xiao Qingqing didn't say anything, but she felt strange.
"Miss, what are you doing?”Li Yunyang could not move, but he could still speak. He still could not figure out how to offend the girl, so he asked in bewilderment.
"I want the jade in your hand. Also, you have to compensate me for wasting a spatial magic scroll.”the young girl said without thinking.
Li Yunyang thought to himself, What is this? There was actually such an unreasonable person. "Isn't it just a piece of jade? If Young Lady wants it, just take it.”Li Yunyang muttered in his heart, A good man doesn't fight with a woman. He then sighed. Actually, even if he wanted to fight, he couldn't. After all, he didn't know magic. Even if he had spiritual power, he would only be beaten up.
At this moment, Li Yunfeng, who was outside, had also noticed it and rushed in. Seeing that Li Yunyang was frozen, he flipped his hand and threw a magic scroll at him. He turned around and disappeared from where he was, then reappeared in front of Li Yunyang and said anxiously," Yun Yang, how are you?" "I'm fine." He pointed at the jade in his hand and felt a little angry. "Forget it." Li Yunyang did not want to cause any trouble at this moment. He tossed the jade stone to the girl." Miss, take the jade stone."”He took the jade." At least you know what's good for you. Where are the scrolls?”Nangong Haolan pushed her luck.
Nangong Haonan, who had been watching from the side, saw that the man's magic was not weaker than his. He quickly walked over and laughed,""Brothers, my sister was rude. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me for my lack of discipline.”" Big brother…" Nangong Haolan was unwilling to accept her big brother's apology. She felt wronged and acted coquettishly.
"Alright, Haolan, don't mess around.”
Li Yunyang looked at the siblings and thought," What was this? The woman was unreasonable, and the man began to stand by and see that the situation was not right. "Sigh, forget it." Then, he said to Li Yunfeng,"Let's go."”
Nangong Haolan seemed to be unwilling." Big brother, why aren't you attacking?”"Attack? Didn't you see that person break the spatial seal with a wave of his hand? Besides, we're not in the Rainbow Phoenix Prefecture now.”As he watched the two of them leave the jade shop, the smile on Nangong Haonan's face immediately disappeared. Who were these two people? Normally, he wouldn't let it go so easily. Forget it, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"It's him. So he's Li Yunyang. No wonder he was trapped by the magic scroll.”Xiao Qingqing muttered as she watched the youth leave. "Cousin, what are you muttering about?”Chen Xiaoyan looked at Xiao Qingqing with a puzzled gaze and asked. "What? Nothing, nothing." "Cousin, we're almost done shopping. Let's go." Xiao Qingqing continued in panic. Uncle should be here soon." "My father?" "Mhm, let's talk about it when we get back." Xiao Qingqing ignored the Nangong siblings and pulled her cousin out of the jade shop. Seeing this, the others also left, and the storm quietly subsided.
