Chapter 328: The Mysterious Journey

    

w guards disguised as commoners in the courtyard, upon Fu Zi Mo's command, several soldiers emerged from nowhere and subdued the guards without hesitation."Spare us, my lord, spare us! Please, for the...So, almost in an instant, Qin Luoyan's mischievous little devil popped up in her mind. She lightly bit her lower lip and then slowly lowered her head. Her bangs covered her eyes, but her actions and expression already showed infinite grievance, looking like a white lotus flower who had been wronged.

Although she was wearing a man's face, if she usually made such a posture, it would definitely make people feel sick. But there is a saying that "a lover sees beauty in everything." Such a posture fell into Li Yunfan's eyes and unexpectedly became a pitiful image.

Li Yun's heart skipped a beat, and almost without thinking, he slammed his fist on the table and shouted at Li Chun'er, "Who are you calling something Li Chun'er, if it weren't for the sake of your uncle and aunt, do you really think I wouldn't dare to discipline you"

“Teach me” Li Chun’er’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. “From childhood to adulthood, among our cousins, we have the best relationship. You have always been protecting me, haven’t you Why did you change as soon as he appeared Where is he better than me”

Li Chun'er's words immediately caused everyone present to look at each other awkwardly. It was strange enough for a woman and a man to be jealous of each other, and for her to say it so confidently further exposed the fact that they were trying to hide their relationship.

“I thought you were just naive before, but I didn't expect that today, you've become so willful and unreasonable! Li Chun’er, this is my last warning to you. If you speak disrespectfully to him again, I won't be polite to you! Don't forget who I am at the end of the day, and the rules of the family. Have you really forgotten them” Li Yun fanned his anger, his face flushed red.

Luo Qin quickly stood up and pulled Li Chun'er to her side, rebuking, "Chun'er, you mustn't be rude to your cousin! You're getting older and more clueless. Come here, take Miss back to her room! Don't let her out without my permission for the next few days!"

Two old women immediately stepped forward, pulling Li Chun'er's arms and walking her away.

Luo Qin and Li Hai's faces were not looking good. On the surface, they were scolding their daughter, but there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes toward Li Yunfan as well. It was still Li Zhongzhao who kept smoothing things over: "Li Zhuangzhu, please calm down. Your precious daughter is still young. I'm sure Mr. Li wouldn't hold it against a child."

With the steps laid out, Li Hai couldn't afford to lose face and could only nod in agreement. However, looking at Qin Luo Yan's eyes, it was clearly much sharper than before. Li Yun fan might be blinded by their own position, but those watching from the sidelines saw clearly that Qin Luo Yan's previous weakness was obviously a pretense. With this kind of scheming woman, how could she be an easy person to get along with

After lunch, several craftsmen who were eager to return to the city to make weapons proposed to leave. Li Yunfan, however, said that he still had some things to discuss with the head of the estate in private. So he allowed Li Zhongzao to take the others back first, leaving only Qin Luoyan and Xiao Fan behind.

When the others left, both Old Xiao and the woman's faces lit up because they felt that Li Yunfan avoiding so many people to talk meant it was definitely about the Gengjin matter. They also felt that all this time Xiao Fan's fawning over Li Yunfan hadn't been in vain, he had indeed gained Li Yunfan's favor.

However, Qin Luoyan wasn't as optimistic. If the Li family held such power, uncovering the source of the gold would be like plucking a tooth from a tiger's mouth—an impossible feat for ordinary people.

After Li Zhongzhao and his group left, Li Yunfan led the remaining people back to the reception hall. This time, however, only Li Hai was waiting there alone. Moreover, Li Hai had changed into a light and agile outfit. The black martial arts uniform highlighted his formidable skills even more.

"Uncle, is everything ready" Li Yunfan asked.

Li Hai glanced at the people behind Li Yunfan and frowned: "Nephew, are you sure these people are trustworthy"

Li Yunfan nodded. "Don't worry, since I brought them here, they are all trustworthy. Besides, when we get there, they might be able to help us."

"Since you put it that way, I naturally have no objections." Li Hai finally agreed and turned around to lead the way. "The camels are all ready, just at the back gate. We can set off right now. We should be able to reach our destination before nightfall."

Qin Luo'yan and Xiao Lao, among others, were still puzzled, but Li Yunfan didn't intend to explain. He just said it was to buy mercury.

As expected, as soon as they heard about purchasing gold for the engagement, Xiao Lao and that woman's eyes lit up. The two of them were enthusiastically expressing their willingness to do everything they could to help Li Yun.

Li Yunfan remained noncommittal, except when facing Qin Luoyan, at which point he was still aloof.

The backyard was indeed ready with over ten camel skins. Li Hai himself stepped onto a camel wearing his stirrups, and then called everyone else to come up as well.

"Shall we ride a camel there" Qin Luoyan looked at the camel, which was two heads taller than herself, feeling a little uneasy.

Seeming to have noticed her doubt, Li Yunfan climbed onto the camel and then extended his hand to her. "Ride with me," he said. "It's safer to have company on the road."

Qin Luoyan wanted to prove herself, but she also felt that if she didn't know the camel's habits well, something might go wrong and it wouldn't be worth it. So she hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking Li Yunfan's hand, stepping onto the footrests and climbing up.

Lao Xiao rode alone on one camel, while that woman and Xiao Fan rode together on another. There were five or six guards following behind, each camel carrying a considerable amount of water and food. They were well-prepared, not like someone returning in just a day or two.

After everything was ready, the group walked out of the valley from the other side of the oasis. Although it was winter, after the desert, under the scorching sun, the further they walked, the more they felt like being roasted.

“Wrap your face up, the sun is scorching today. If you stay out for even a moment, you’ll get sunburned.” Li Yun fanned himself with his hands while holding the reins and circled Qin Luoyan in his arms. The posture was very intimate, he seemed quite pleased with it, so his attitude and tone softened considerably.

Qin Luoyan sat there feeling very uncomfortable. If she weren't a modern woman who wasn't as easily swayed by emotions as these women here, she would have jumped off the camel long ago out of embarrassment. She nodded and said, "I understand, but...are we really going to buy the Gengjin Aren't you afraid that we will leak the secret about buying Gengjin in the future"

"Don't be afraid." Li Yun said simply with just two words, and didn't answer any other questions. He glanced casually at Elder Xiao and the others, then whispered in her ear, "I told you, for you, I can do everything within my power. It's not an empty promise."
