Chapter 166 Dual Identity, Neither Inside Nor Outside
With the Demonic Sect's eastern expedition concluded, Li Jianyi and Li Hanyi stayed in Snow Moon City for another three days.
It wasn't until Xiao Lan and Xiao Bai from Sword Heart Tomb escorted 30,000 taels of silver to Snow Moon City that Li Hanyi and Li Jianyi prepared to return to Sword Heart Tomb.
"Young Master Li, your wife is truly wonderful!" Sikong Changfeng exclaimed excitedly, relieved that his worries were gone.
Li Jianyi: "..."
My family's clothes aren't even that excited, Brother Sikong, why are you so excited?
Anyone who didn't know better would think I was saving up for my future wife so I could marry you!
Shaking his head, Li Jianyi looked at Xiao Lan and Xiao Bai: "Did Master give you any instructions after he sent you here?"
"The sect leader wants the young master and young lady to return to the Sword Tomb as soon as possible to prepare for their wedding!" Xiao Lan and Xiao Bai answered truthfully.
"Okay, Hanyi and I will go back now!" Li Jianyi really felt it was time to go back and prepare for the wedding.
Since the Demonic Cult's eastern expedition has ended, the armies of the Southern Jue and Northern Barbarians should probably withdraw from the northern border.
Otherwise, once the Northern Army is fully integrated, they might be in deep trouble.
"Hanyi has gone home. I guess Father should go back too." Li Jianyi turned around and looked at Li Hanyi, who was holding Xiao Qianluo's little hand.
"Hmm!" Li Hanyi nodded slightly.
Little Qianluo raised her head and looked at Li Hanyi: "Sister Hanyi, Qianluo also wants to go to the Sword Heart Tomb!"
"Alright, then Sister Hanyi will take Qianluo to the Sword Heart Tomb to play!" Li Hanyi smiled and patted little Qianluo's head.
"Okay! Thank you, Sister Hanyi!" Xiao Qianlu smiled happily, revealing two adorable dimples.
"I...I want to go too!" Eight-year-old Ji Xue blinked her big eyes at Li Hanyi.
"Xiaoxue will come along too! She can keep Sister Hanyi company!" Li Hanyi said with a smile.
"By the way, Sister Feng, are you at ease letting Qianluo come back to the Sword Heart Tomb with me?" Li Hanyi looked at Qianluo's mother.
Feng Qiuyu laughed and said, "If I don't trust two peerless sword immortals to take Qianluo with them, then who can I trust to take Qianluo with them?"
Besides, I've never been to Kenshin's Tomb either. How about we take this opportunity to go and have a look together?
"Welcome!" Li Hanyi warmly welcomed them.
"No, Qiuyu, if you leave, won't I be all alone in Snow Moon City?" Sikong Changfeng was reluctant to part with the mother and daughter.
"Go away, go away! Can't you live without Miss Feng and Qianluo? Don't you still have your senior brother here to keep you company?" Baili Dongjun laughed.
"Alright! Then Miss Yueyao, why don't you go to the Sword Heart Tomb too, and take your sister with you? I think Snow Moon City is enough with me and Senior Brother!" Sikong Changfeng was going all out, intending to fight Baili Dongjun to the death.
"Okay!" Yueyao smiled.
Baili Dongjun: "..."
good good!
Third junior brother, is this how you play?
Have fun!
Now that they've left, I can look for my long-lost good brother, Ye Dingzhi, in Snowmoon City.
I wonder where he is in Snowmoon City now, and whether he's doing well.
"Third junior brother, I'll remember this!" Baili Dongjun glared at Sikong Changfeng, feigning anger.
"Tch, who's afraid of you?" Sikong Changfeng rolled his eyes.
Then, he escorted his own family members Feng Qiuyu and Xiao Qianluo out of Xueyue City with Li Jianyi and the others.
only……
On their way out of Snowmoon City, the group saw a sweeper wearing a straw raincoat, black clothes, and a white coat underneath.
The appearance of this person caused the martial arts forces that arrived in Snowmoon City three days ago to stay for another three days.
They all suspected that the person sweeping the streets of Snowmoon City at this moment was none other than Xiao Xuan, the mysterious author wanted by Bei Li!
"Brothers, should we test the waters?" The members of the underworld forces who had their eyes on this lucrative opportunity looked at their brothers.
"Let's go! The bounty from Beili is quite high!" said a martial arts expert from the Free Land.
"Let's go for it!"
After the brothers agreed, the group rushed towards the sweeper.
The person sweeping the floor was completely dumbfounded when they saw this.
I followed Young Master Li's advice and concealed myself thoroughly. How could anyone possibly tell who I really am?
Otherwise, why would this group of people attack me for no reason?
"No, I have to get away quickly!" Ye Dingzhi swept his broom, stirring up a flurry of falling leaves and sending everyone rushing towards him flying.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Dingzhi vanished without a trace.
"Who is that person? Their martial arts skills seem to be on par with mine!?"
Li Hanyi became somewhat curious after seeing Ye Ding during her trip outside the city.
"Hanyi, he's just a sweeper. We don't need to worry about him. We should go back and think about our wedding." Li Jianyi had promised Su Muyu and the others that he would try his best not to let the news of Ye Dingzhi being alive get out.
"Oh." Li Hanyi glanced at Li Jianyi, who was trying to cover up his true intentions.
Then, he took Xiao Qianluo, Feng Qiuyu and the others and got into the carriage, heading towards the Sword Heart Tomb.
at the same time,
After Li Jianyi, Li Hanyi and the others left, Baili Dongjun went to find the person who had been sweeping the floor earlier.
His aura emanated the aura of Ye Dingzhi, so Baili Dongjun recognized at a glance that the person sweeping the floor was his good brother Ye Dingzhi!
"brother!"
Following the scent, Baili Dongjun found Ye Dingzhi, who was covered in layers of clothing inside and out.
"Brother Baili, what's going on? I did as Young Master Li said, so why are so many people staring at me, a stinky janitor, lately?" Ye Dingzhi was puzzled.
"Forehead……"
"That's because your outfit perfectly matches that of the mysterious author Xiao Xuan in the martial arts world!" Baili Dongjun explained.
"So it was him!" Ye Dingzhi had heard of the mysterious author Xiao Xuan, but he really didn't expect that Li Jianyi had him impersonate the mysterious author Xiao Xuan.
"This young master Li really has... found himself a legitimate identity..." Ye Dingzhi was somewhat speechless.
He now has a real pseudonym, so others won't think he's Ye Dingzhi, but he'll keep the title of author Xiao Xuan.
But it doesn't matter. As long as Baili Dongjun and Li Jianyi don't make a move, no one can make him reveal his true identity.
That's not too bad; at most, rumors will circulate that the mysterious author, Xiao Xuan, is highly skilled in martial arts.
"Indeed, this Young Master Li is quite meticulous!" Baili Dongjun laughed, putting his arm around Ye Dingzhi's shoulder and inviting, "Come on, brother, my wife and sister-in-law have both gone to the Sword Heart Tomb. Shouldn't we two brothers have a good drink together?"
"Brother Baili, am I really going to go like this? People who don't know better might think that the mysterious author Xiao Xuan is under your protection, Brother Baili?" Ye Dingzhi was a little worried about Baili Dongjun's reputation.
"It's alright! My Donggui Tavern also has private rooms! And Brother Ye, you don't necessarily have to always maintain the identity of the mysterious author Xiao Xuan. Sometimes you can change your identity and go through another one." Baili Dongjun pulled Ye Dingzhi towards Donggui Tavern.
