Chapter 488: What Should Be Done About This

A group of residential cultivators at Iron Gate Fort killed all of Dick Chen's subordinates.

Wu Wu Yongchao stared at a large pit on the ground and frowned. "Who made this?"

A residential cultivator said on the side, "Was it that guy, what's his name, Chen Weixin? He has quite a lot of strength."

Another residential cultivator said, "It was that guy named Chen Chen Weixin; I saw with my own eyes that this large pit appeared under his feet."

Li Li Zhijuan walked over and said to the crowd, "Stop talking nonsense. This wasn't made by Chen Chen Weixin; this was made by the Fort Master."

Everyone exclaimed, "The Fort Master has been here?"

"Someone flashed in front of Chen Chen Weixin. Looking at his figure, it was our Fort Master."

At that time, Li Li Banfeng, in order to use the Foolish Cultivator technique, paused for a while in front of Chen Chen Weixin and was seen by Li Li Zhijuan.

Wu Wu Yongchao remembered one thing: "When we were fighting, who beat the gong?"

Everyone shook their heads repeatedly. Hu Hu Fangyuan said, "You were the one leading the battle. If the gong was to be beaten, it must have been you."

Wu Wu Yongchao was very clear that he wasn't the one who beat the gong.

Everyone else in the fort was also very clear that when this person named Chen Chen Weixin killed his way into the fort, they were about to be unable to resist, but someone helped them resist and drove Chen Chen Weixin away.

It was just that that person moved too fast, and no one could see his appearance clearly.

"The Fort Master has been here." Wu Wu Yongchao looked at the big steam gate at the canyon entrance.

Iron Gate Fort only has one Fort Master; his name is Fort Master.

No one in Iron Gate Fort knows what his real name is; they know almost nothing about the Fort Master.

But he came; he came when the fort was in trouble.

Wu Wu Yongchao said, "No matter when, he is our Fort Master."

Li Li Zhijuan said on the side, "Where did the Fort Master go now?"

……

At the market entrance, Li Li Banfeng took out a stack of Da Huan Kingdom banknotes and asked, "Are you pulling a rickshaw?"

The rickshaw puller stepped on his dry pipe and smiled. "Where to?"

"To Dick Chen's lair."

The rickshaw puller nodded. "I'll only be responsible for sending you to the place; you handle the fighting yourself."

Li Li Banfeng said, "What if I add money?"

"Adding money won't work either. I'm a rickshaw puller, not someone who plays with his life. But I estimate that that person won't need you to play with your life either." The rickshaw puller wiped the rickshaw seat, signaled Li Li Banfeng to get on, and the two chatted as they walked.

"Old Seven, how did you know to come to the market to find me?"

Li Li Banfeng actually didn't know the rickshaw puller was at the market; he just wanted to find a crowded place to try his luck, not expecting to really find the rickshaw puller.

Of course, this matter couldn't be explained directly as luck, as it would make Li Li Banfeng's methods seem insufficient.

"I was able to find you by relying on the technique of 'Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity.' This technique was originally taught to me by you, but why did you send me a letter asking me to come to Iron Gate Fort?"

Li Li Banfeng received a rickshaw bell in front of Xiaoyao Dock, with the words "Iron Gate Fort" written on it. This was clearly a message sent to him by the rickshaw puller.

But why did the rickshaw puller remind Li Li Banfeng to come to Iron Gate Fort? Could it be that he knew Li Li Banfeng was the Fort Master?

The rickshaw puller replied, "Back then, this guy surnamed Chen came to find me, saying he wanted to join forces with me to get rid of you, and also said that if I killed you, I could get my territory back."

Li Li Banfeng nodded. "This deal sounds pretty good. You didn't agree?"

The rickshaw puller sneered. "Don't talk nonsense. From the time you first came to Puluo Continent, we have known each other. Even when the light shone, you kid could survive it.

From the White Lamb era all the way to today, how hard your life is, I see it clearly. That guy surnamed Chen couldn't kill you at all.

Regarding the matter at Yellow Earth Bridge, I left first. There were my own difficulties in that, but looking back, I really feel sorry for you. I have to give you an explanation for this matter somehow.

I intended to tell you the whereabouts of that guy surnamed Chen, but this kid is elusive and his whereabouts are uncertain. It was rare that he could stay in Iron Gate Fort for a while, so I sent the message to you. Rather than waiting for him to find you, it's better to let you strike first.

But still the same saying: I've delivered the message to you, but you have to handle the life-risking business yourself. I'm really not the material for risking my life."

The rickshaw puller was telling the truth. He really didn't know what kind of connection Li Li Banfeng had with Iron Gate Fort; he just wanted to give Li Li Banfeng a chance to strike first.

While talking, the two arrived at the private residence rented by Dick Chen. The rickshaw puller said, "There is a spider man here; he is a subordinate of that guy surnamed Chen. He is a private investigator and quite famous; you should know him."

Dabo Dabo Ensi, Li Li Banfeng knew him too well.

Li Li Banfeng met Dabo Dabo Ensi in the New Land. Not long after, Dabo Dabo Ensi came looking for him and blocked the door of Yu Nan's house.

Later, Li Li Banfeng introduced Madam Madame Suoe to Dabo Dabo Ensi. He thought he could resolve the enmity between them through a marriage, but didn't expect the conflict between the two to deepen.

Dabo Dabo Ensi always firmly believed that Li Qi was Li Li Banfeng and that the Red Lotus was in Li Qi's hands. Based on this, Dick Chen concluded that Li Qi was Li Li Banfeng, which must have been information given to him by Dabo Dabo Ensi.

Entering the courtyard, Li Li Banfeng carefully guarded against the spider webs. He searched around but didn't see Dabo Dabo Ensi.

The spider detective had escaped.

The rickshaw puller said, "They said they were going to verify a weapon at Iron Gate Fort. I estimate that weapon was also taken away by that spider."

Weapon?

The Explosive Tiger Long Spear?

This long spear has caused quite a lot of bloodshed!

Other matters are not urgent, but this long spear has always been involved with Iron Gate Fort; this matter must be guarded against.

"Brother Rickshaw, do you know the Local Deity here?"

The rickshaw puller said, "I've met him a few times, but we don't have any friendship. If you want to know him, I can make an introduction, but this Local Deity's temperament is a bit strange. This matter cannot be rushed. You stay at Iron Gate Fort for one night first; after I've talked enough, I'll take you to see him tomorrow."

Li Li Banfeng agreed. That night, he entered the fort without a sound and watched everyone's reactions.

The fort had won a victory. If Li Li Banfeng were there, he would definitely hold a celebration banquet.

Wu Wu Yongchao also held one, buying wine and meat, hiring a cook, and preparing dozens of tables of banquets.

But the residential cultivators had this flaw; when night came, they found various excuses to say they weren't coming.

Wu Wu Yongchao was helpless and distributed the wine and food to every household. Most residential cultivators lived alone and had a drink with their own residential spirits, feeling quite comfortable.

Returning to the Leaving Suishenju, Li Li Banfeng checked the progress of the Red Lotus refining pills. Since Li Li Banfeng rose to a ninth-layer traveling cultivator, the pills produced by the Red Lotus were all Golden Origin Pills. Adding Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's share, there were fifty-three pills in total.

"A-Hong Lian, what do you mean by this?" Li Li Banfeng gently stroked the lotus heart of the bronze lotus.

The Red Lotus argued, "This is what you said; you wanted Golden Origin Pills. Now that I've refined them for you, you're not satisfied!"

"I've already risen to the ninth layer; what's the use of having this?"

"Ninth layer aiming for the tenth layer, Golden Origin Pills are also useful."

"I don't want to rise to the tenth layer; I want to jump directly to above the clouds."

"That also requires waiting until you reach the edge of the tenth layer. Eat the ninth layer until full, and then jump to the layer above the clouds; you'll have more certainty!"

This makes sense!

Li Li Banfeng put away the pills. Dick Chen's flesh and blood hadn't been refined yet. Li Li Banfeng asked, "Is it Golden Origin Pills again this time?"

"That's hard to say. I don't know this person's cultivation level."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned. Although cultivation level is invisible, having eaten it into the stomach, the Red Lotus should be able to taste the approximate quality based on experience.

"A-Hong Lian, are you playing tricks on me again?" Li Li Banfeng continued to stroke the lotus heart.

The Red Lotus said anxiously, "This time I really can't taste it. The soul was eaten by that wicked woman. Go ask her what the quality is."

Li Li Banfeng returned to the main room and asked the Lady.

The Lady was worrying about this matter: "Oh, husband, Little Slave has been pampered by you, and I think I've eaten too many delicacies, but this nose and mouth have become dull. Little Slave can't taste the flavor."

"My precious Lady, can't even taste the layer above the clouds?"

Da da da~ Tai!

The Lady pondered for a long time and sang in a slow tempo:

"The soul carries some aura of vicissitudes, a bit of the meaning of above the clouds,

But it also carries a fishy smell of soil; it could also be the ground layer,

If we talk about the chewiness, it could be a ninth layer,

If we talk about crispness, it could be a first layer."

Li Li Banfeng frowned. "Lady, are you teasing me? If it were a star or a half apart, it would be fine if you couldn't distinguish it, but how far apart are the first layer and the ninth layer? Can't you distinguish this either?"

The singing machine also felt ashamed: "Precious husband, Little Slave loves you and dotes on you; how would I dare to lie to you with even half a sentence? This soul is too evil; Little Slave really can't taste it."

The Lady would definitely not lie to me about this matter.

And it's not just the Lady who can't taste it; the Red Lotus can't taste it either. This is not a problem of discrimination ability.

Is there a possibility that this Dick Chen has no cultivation level at all?

What kind of person has cultivation but no level?

……

The next morning, Li Li Banfeng found the rickshaw puller at the market entrance. "Did you find the Local Deity?"

The rickshaw puller shook his head. "This matter is strange. The Local Deity is not at home. I asked several old friends in the surrounding territories, and they said the Local Deity here hasn't been in Iron Gate Fort for days. No one knows where this person went."

Li Li Banfeng saw that the rickshaw puller didn't want to leave and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to grab a ready-made one here?"

The rickshaw puller shook his head. "I'm not that kind of person, but if the Local Deity here has encountered any accident, such a good territory shouldn't be wasted."

Li Li Banfeng understood the rickshaw puller's meaning.

Grabbing is not allowed, but one can consider picking one up.

"Brother Rickshaw, you wait here slowly. I'm preparing to return to Green Water City first."

"Brother, I'll remind you one more time: that guy surnamed Chen found me as a helper, but he might not have found only one helper. Other helpers might still have malicious intent toward you. After returning to Green Water City, be extra careful.

Remember one sentence from your brother: a traveling cultivator walks a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters; every step must be weighed against one's own life."

Li Li Banfeng left Iron Gate Fort, but he couldn't rest easy. The Local Deity couldn't be relied upon, so he had to rely on his own people. Li Li Banfeng asked Luo Zhengnan to arrange manpower to keep an eye on the surroundings of the fort and report in time if anything happened.

……

Green Water City, Lu family outer residence.

Lu Lu Chunying was managing accounts in the living room, Xiao Yeci was reading in the study, and Youtao was reading a magazine from Black Stone Slope.

A foreign car stopped in front of the residence, and a woman in her thirties walked down from the car.

The woman was wearing a dark red tight-fitting top, matching a dark red long skirt, a dark red hat on her head, with a veil hanging under the brim, red gloves on her hands, and holding a small folding fan. She was dressed very fashionably.

Arriving in front of the residence, the woman said to the gatekeeper, "My name is Xiao Xiao Manli; I'm here to find Miss Lu Lu Chunying and Madam Xiao Yeci."

The gatekeeper went in to report. Lu Lu Chunying invited Xiao Xiao Manli into the house. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lu Lu Chunying was quite surprised. "Ms. Xiao, do I know you?"

Xiao Xiao Manli smiled. "We know each other; it's just that there are few opportunities to meet. Once Yeci comes, you'll understand."

Not long after, Xiao Yeci walked out of the study. Seeing Xiao Xiao Manli for the first time, the book in Xiao Yeci's hand fell to the ground.

Xiao Xiao Manli smiled. "Yeci, how many years has it been since we last met?"

"It, it's been ten years, right." Xiao Yeci stuttered somewhat.

"It's been more than ten years. Lu Chunying has grown so big. Yeci, I came to find you to reminisce about the past. Should we talk here, or find another place?"

Lu Lu Chunying said, "If you have something to say, just say it here."

Xiao Yeci said, "Nannan, you eat at home first. I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back in a moment."

Xiao Yeci followed Xiao Xiao Manli and left the residence.

Lu Lu Chunying frowned slightly. Youtao called several gatekeepers and asked them to follow Xiao Yeci.

……

Dongping Road, a coffee shop. Xiao Xiao Manli and Xiao Yeci sat opposite each other in a private room.

Xiao Xiao Manli said, "I recognized that this was my child the first time I saw Lu Chunying. She looks like me, in every way like me."

Xiao Yeci picked up her coffee and took a sip. "You came this time, do you want to recognize Nannan back?"

Xiao Xiao Manli sighed. "I know I did some things wrong, but I am her mother after all."

Xiao Yeci frowned. "You still remember you are her mother? It's been so many years; have you asked about her even once?"

"You know, I had difficulties back then."

"And now you don't have difficulties anymore?"

Xiao Xiao Manli remained silent for a long time, raised her head and said, "Regarding the past, there are a thousand mistakes and ten thousand mistakes, but they have all passed. Lu Lu Chunying is my flesh and blood; no one can change this point."

Xiao Yeci put down her coffee cup. "I didn't say I wanted to change anything. You go find Lu Chunying and tell her the truth!"

"If I tell her the truth, how can you stand in the Lu family? Even if Lu Chunying can tolerate you, can the Lu family tolerate you?"

Xiao Yeci gritted her teeth. "If they can't tolerate me, they can't tolerate me. I can live anywhere!"

Xiao Xiao Manli sighed. "Yeci, don't say angry words. Seeing you become the Madam of the Lu family, I am truly envious. Who among women wouldn't be envious?

In Puluo Continent, if we talk about wealth and honor, how many people can compare to you? Such a good life, are you willing to let it go?"

Xiao Yeci shook her head. "You don't need to tell me these things; I don't care!"

"Saying you don't care is a lie. You are also a person who has suffered," Xiao Xiao Manli gripped Xiao Yeci's hand. "I treated you unfairly back then, and I also want to see you live a good life. You promise me one thing; as long as this matter is done, sister will leave immediately and never interfere with you and Lu Chunying again."

"What matter?" Xiao Yeci couldn't see Xiao Xiao Manli's intention.

Xiao Xiao Manli said, "I want you to help me make an appointment with someone. I really want to see him."

"What person?"

"Li Qi."

Xiao Yeci was stunned. "You know him?"

Xiao Xiao Manli nodded. "I know him. He deceived me, he possessed me, he toyed with me, he hurt me too deeply. I want to ask him for an explanation.

You make an appointment for him to come out. Don't say it's me looking for him; just let me see him once. Sister is only begging you for this little thing. Can you promise me?"

Xiao Yeci pondered for a long time. "What exactly happened between you and Li Qi?"

"You don't need to ask more. Just tell me, will you help me or not?"

"This, this kind of thing, you'd better tell him yourself..."

"He won't see me. He is unwilling, and he doesn't dare! Yeci, will you help me or not?"

"I..."

Xiao Xiao Manli stood up. "If you don't help me, I'll make a scene at the newspaper office tomorrow. If the matter spreads, Duan Duan Shaoxia definitely won't tolerate you, and the Lu family definitely won't tolerate you. No matter where you go, you won't find a way to live.

You are a liar, a liar who abducted someone else's daughter. Everyone will treat you as a liar. If you don't believe me, just watch; the entire Puluo Continent won't tolerate you!"

Xiao Yeci remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Xiao Manli also calmed down a bit. "Yeci, I don't want to make things reach that point. I'll give you one day to think about it carefully..."

Xiao Yeci shook her head. "What happened between you and Li Qi, you tell him directly; why involve me?"

Xiao Xiao Manli suddenly sobbed. "I have no other meaning; I just want to see that heartless man once. I just want to make things clear with him.

Once I make things clear with him, I will leave immediately. I won't pester you, and I definitely won't pester him. I only have this little request; why can't you promise me?

Think about it carefully yourself; I'll come find you at this time tomorrow."

Leaving the coffee shop, Xiao Xiao Manli got into a carriage. Dabo Dabo Ensi was sitting in the carriage and asked, "Did it go smoothly?"

"She didn't promise, but she definitely will. I know her too well." Xiao Xiao Manli lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look.

She saw Xiao Yeci leave the coffee shop, followed far behind by several gatekeepers.

Xiao Xiao Manli asked, "These people didn't enter the coffee shop just now, right?"

"No," Dabo Dabo Ensi saw very clearly. "I handled that private room of yours beforehand; no one could hear your conversation. It's just that I'm worried that after Xiao Yeci goes home, she will tell Lu Lu Chunying the ins and outs of the matter."

"She won't," Xiao Xiao Manli shook her head. "She is a person who would swallow her teeth and swallow them into her stomach. How could she let Lu Lu Chunying know about this kind of thing? I'm worried that she won't be able to lure Li Qi out at all."

"She can," Dabo Dabo Ensi was very certain. "Duan Duan Shaoxia would find it very difficult to lure Li Qi out, and even if she lured him out, Li Qi would definitely be on guard.

But Xiao Yeci is different. She is someone Li Qi trusts. If she makes an appointment for Li Qi to meet, Li Qi won't even bring a gatekeeper."

Xiao Xiao Manli sighed softly. "If I had known it would be like this, you wouldn't have needed to find Duan Duan Shaoxia as a helper. If you had come directly to me, things would have been much easier."

Dabo Dabo Ensi said, "Dick might have his considerations. After all, he is a cautious person."

"What does this have to do with being cautious?" Xiao Xiao Manli sneered. "It's nothing more than you not trusting me!"

Dabo Dabo Ensi frowned. "To exchange for someone else's trust, you need to take some actual action, especially when your reputation is very poor."

……

Xiao Yeci returned to the mansion. Lu Lu Chunying hurriedly welcomed her. "Who exactly was that person? What did she want from you?"

Xiao Yeci smiled. "She is a relative from our hometown. Hearing that we have become rich, she wants to borrow some money to spend."

"I thought it was someone important?" Lu Lu Chunying snorted. "When we mother and daughter were suffering, why didn't we see any relatives come to the door? Now she comes to borrow money. You shouldn't have bothered with her!"

Xiao Yeci smiled. "It's a small matter; don't take it to heart. Nannan, Mom is tired and wants to sleep early. Don't stay up too late."

Lu Lu Chunying said, "Sleeping so early? Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten!" Xiao Yeci returned to her room and sat silently on the bed for a long time.

She came to the desk, picked up a fountain pen, and wrote a letter.

She didn't believe there would be much entanglement between Li Qi and Xiao Xiao Manli. Xiao Xiao Manli was a married woman, and her appearance was just so-so, but Li Qi didn't lack women around him. Not to mention others, just Jiang Jiang Mengting and Chu Chu Huaiyuan—which one wasn't a hundred times better than Xiao Xiao Manli?

There is something going on here; I must give Li Qi a reminder.

After writing the matter clearly, Xiao Yeci packed her luggage, preparing to sneak out of Green Water City.

There were some things she couldn't change; Xiao Xiao Manli was Lu Lu Chunying's biological mother.

There were some things she couldn't bear; others would say she was a liar, a child abductor. Just thinking about these things was enough to make her collapse.

Leaving like this was the correct choice for herself and for Lu Lu Chunying.

After one o'clock in the morning, the whole family was asleep.

Xiao Yeci quietly left the room. The gatekeeper asked, "Madam, where are you going?"

"I have some private matters to attend to; you don't need to worry about it."

Xiao Yeci didn't want to say more, and the gatekeepers didn't dare to ask more.

Walking to the door of the courtyard, she looked back at the residence, then bit her lip, picked up the suitcase, and left.

…… 【4

At the train station, Xiao Yeci bought a ticket to the Ink Fragrance Shop and sat alone in the waiting room.

There weren't many people catching trains at night, and strangers came and went in the waiting room; no one recognized Xiao Yeci, and no one noticed her.

Xiao Yeci whispered to herself, "It should have been like this from the start; just treat it as a dream, just treat it as..."

Tears slid from the corners of her eyes, and Xiao Yeci let out a sob.

Youtao took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

"Thank you..." Xiao Yeci saw Youtao and jumped in fright!

"How did you get here!"

Youtao said, "I saw you were in a bad mood, so I wanted to cheer you up tonight, but you weren't in your room. That's how I knew you'd run off. Where exactly are you trying to run to!"

"I, I just wanted to go out and clear my head."

"Going out to clear your head is fine, but you have to tell your daughter. If she finds out you're gone, she'll turn Puluo Continent upside down!"

Xiao Yeci sighed and said, "There are some things you don't understand; I'm not her biological mother."

Youtao laughed, "How could I not understand? You blush whenever I tease you a little; it's obvious you've never been with a man, so how could you have given birth? That woman today must be Lu Chunying's real mother, right?"

Xiao Yeci nodded.

Youtao said, "This is easy to handle. It just depends on whether Lu Chunying acknowledges her. If she does, then let her live with her. If not, then forget it and act like she doesn't exist."

Xiao Yeci shook her head and said, "Sister Tao, you don't understand. Matters in wealthy families aren't that simple."

Youtao shrugged and said, "I don't understand, then discuss it with Lu Chunying. In any case, go home first."

"I can't go home."

"Whether you want to or not, you're going back. Don't force me to tie you up and drag you back." Youtao's eyes glinted coldly.

Xiao Yeci was annoyed: "What are you doing? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Youtao was a second-layer Joy Cultivator, and Xiao Yeci was a second-layer Literary Cultivator.

Their cultivation bases were evenly matched, and they started fighting.

After a dozen rounds, the two were beaten out of the waiting room by station staff with clubs.

Youtao laughed, "Can't leave now, can you?"

Xiao Yeci gritted her teeth and said, "You really are vicious!"

When Xiao Yeci and Youtao returned home, Lu Lu Chunying was nearly driven mad with worry. She sent the others away and shouted at Xiao Yeci: "Why did you abandon me? I have never abandoned you!"

Xiao Yeci hung her head and said, "But there's no way to handle this!"

"Why is there no way? We two have struggled until today; haven't we always found solutions bit by bit? If we really can't think of anything, don't we have others to help us?"

"This matter cannot let others know!"

"You don't trust others, but don't we have Brother Qi?"

"He must know even less! He's involved in this too!"

Lu Lu Chunying took out the letter Xiao Yeci had left behind and said, "You can believe this? With Xiao Xiao Manli's character, which of Brother Qi's eyes would ever look at her?"

Xiao Yeci said, "It's not good to speak like that; she is your biological mother."

"I only have one mother!" Lu Lu Chunying gritted her teeth, "Tomorrow I'll find someone to finish her off, and this will be over!"

Xiao Yeci gasped and said, "You mustn't act recklessly!"

"This is a proper solution; listen to me!"

The next morning, just as Lu Lu Chunying was about to have Tan Tan Fucheng and Lu Lu Yuanxin invited over, she suddenly saw two servants from the Lu mansion arrive: "Miss Lu Chunying, the Madam would like to meet with you."

At this critical juncture, Duan Duan Shaoxia wanted to meet Lu Lu Chunying.

Lu Lu Chunying's heart tightened; could it be that the matter had already been exposed?

At dusk, Xiao Xiao Manli arrived at Xiao Yeci's residence again. The two left the house and went to the previous coffee shop. Xiao Xiao Manli asked, "Yeci, have you thought about what I told you yesterday?"

Xiao Yeci nodded and said, "I've thought it over. I promise you, I will go and invite Li Qi out."

"Good. As long as you invite him out, I will leave Green Water City immediately after tonight." Xiao Xiao Manli patted Xiao Yeci on the back.

Xiao Yeci felt something was wrong: "What did you just do?"

Xiao Xiao Manli asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Can't a sister touch you?"

Xiao Xiao Manli had placed something on Xiao Yeci; Xiao Yeci didn't know what it was, nor did she know how to remove it.

Li Li Banfeng returned to Xiaoyao Dock and had Luo Zhengnan step up the investigation into the Light-Chasing Group.

This organization was truly mysterious; Luo Zhengnan was so well-informed, yet he had never heard the name of the Light-Chasing Group.

The Garrison Hall might have their files.

Just as Li Li Banfeng was planning to contact Dengpao, Xiao Yeci suddenly arrived at Xiaoyao Dock.

"Brother Qi, can I invite you to a meal tonight?" Xiao Yeci asked cautiously.

Li Li Banfeng was stunned, then nodded: "Sure. Who else did you invite?"

Xiao Yeci said, "Just the two of us, do you think that's okay, Brother Qi?"

Li Li Banfeng tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yeci.

Xiao Yeci blushed and said, "Is it okay or not, Brother Qi?"

The way she called him Brother Qi was so strange.

PS: Then what should she call him?
