Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Therefore, by the end of winter, Li Xiangyi finally had time to rest at Sigumen, spend some time with Qiao Wanmian, and handle many official matters, keeping him extremely busy.

"Shishui, that Peach Blossom Pavilion has been open for half a year now, hasn't it? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Li Xiangyi was convinced that Tang Yu was involved in some shady business, which was why he was wearing expensive fabrics and jewelry of dubious origin.

He guessed that Tang Yu might be from the Western Regions, which was why he wasn't wearing or using anything from the Central Plains.

This made Li Xiangyi suspect that some sect in the Western Regions was plotting something.

But no matter how many guesses he had, without evidence, Li Xiangyi certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble with Tang Yu.

Therefore, he could only have Shi Shui keep an eye on Peach Blossom Pavilion, since Shi Shui was a woman and could better deal with the women inside.

"Master, you asked me to keep an eye on the people coming and going at Peach Blossom Pavilion every day, and what they buy. I'm sure Peach Blossom Pavilion's business is legitimate, and its profits mainly come from fine wines and delicacies."

Those women were originally from brothels, but they were free in Peach Blossom Pavilion and were never forced to entertain clients.

Some of them were even married, and Manager Tang generously gave them dowries!

I got to know several women there, and they were all very grateful to Manager Tang.

Master, I think you've really guessed wrong! Manager Tang is a beauty like a fairy from the moon palace.

He was kind and polite, and highly skilled in martial arts. If Manager Tang were willing to smile, many powerful and wealthy people would be willing to offer him money, but Manager Tang did not do so.

Therefore, I think you have a prejudice against the sect leader.

Li Xiangyi: "..."

Oh no, even Shishui has turned against us.

But what kind of filter is this? That woman's martial arts skills are so high, every move she makes is a killing blow, how could she be associated with gentleness?

Of course, her appearance is indeed impeccable.

But beautiful women are often dangerous, and Shi Shui didn't even have that much caution.

However, given Shi Shui's abilities, if he hasn't noticed anything unusual about the business after watching for so long, then he might have guessed the wrong direction.

Perhaps their purpose wasn't to disrupt the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and they didn't have any shady business dealings behind the scenes.

However, since he has concealed his identity, he is ultimately a person with secrets.

"I'm probably overthinking it, but one should always be wary of others."

Since the restaurant's business seems normal, has Manager Tang ever done anything particularly unusual?

Shi Shui thought about it and realized that there was indeed something unusual about it.

"Manager Tang leaves the restaurant for a few days every month, at unpredictable times. It is said that he goes to the mountains to collect herbs. I have tried to follow him, but I can't catch up."

Li Xiangyi's eyes lit up instantly; he had finally grasped the unusual detail.

So for the next period of time, he began to secretly keep an eye on Peach Blossom Pavilion, waiting to find something unusual about the other party.

As a result, it wasn't until the Lunar New Year that year that Li Xiangyi finally waited for Tang Yu to leave Peach Blossom Pavilion.

This day was supposed to be a time for family reunion, and everyone at Sigumen was gathered together in celebration. Qiao Wanmian was also by Li Xiangyi's side.

But Li Xiangyi suddenly said that he had something to do and had to leave, and then, ignoring the shocked faces of the others, he flew away!

That winter, heavy snow fell, and the roads were covered with thick snow. The trees outside Yangzhou were covered in frost.

After Li Xiangyi chased after her, he discovered that she was wearing a snow-white dress and leaping through the mountains and forests.

If it weren't for that head of black hair, Li Xiangyi would almost have thought that the other person had melted into the world.

Tang Yu chuckled when she heard the voice behind her, then flew around in the mountains, seemingly tireless, and it was impossible to tell what she was up to.

The snow was still falling heavily, but one person, relying on his internal strength, directly avoided the snow. This person was Li Xiangyi.

One person was catching snow with a small earthenware pot while leaping.

The two flew back and forth through the mountains and forests. After an hour, Li Xiangyi finally couldn't help but ask loudly from behind.

"You knew I was behind you, so you've been deliberately playing tricks on me, right?"

Tang Yu smiled and turned to land. She looked at the pottery jar in her hand, which was now full of snow, and then answered Li Xiangyi, who had caught up with her.

"Young Master Li, snowflakes are flying everywhere, the surrounding scenery is breathtaking, the world is a pure white color, which is intoxicating and mesmerizing."

On such a beautiful day, I assumed there were others who shared my appreciation for nature's beauty, and therefore I didn't want to disturb them.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi couldn't help but laugh.

Although I was speechless, looking at the beautiful scenery of the snow-covered landscape today, it seemed that this trip was indeed worthwhile.

"Manager Tang is quite refined. At the end of the year, when families are reunited, he actually had the interest to go up the mountain to collect herbs while the snow was falling heavily."

"Young Master Li may have misunderstood. The pottery jar in my hand is filled with today's snow."

This kind of rootless water is perfect for brewing tea, so I went out today to boil snow for tea.

Li Xiangyi: "..."

It's snowing heavily, and it's the Lunar New Year. You run around in the mountains, just to catch snowflakes to make tea.

Li Xiangyi, who lived a rather rough life, admired him. Although he was dressed and used very fine things, he was still inferior to the person in front of him.

I'm sorry, he's not qualified to be compared to the person in front of him!

Although he once entered the palace at night to see the epiphyllum bloom and even drank wine and admired the flowers on the roof.

After defeating Dongfang Qingzhong, he once plucked seventeen plum blossoms while riding a dragon through the snow, and then gave these plum blossoms to seventeen women in the Sigu Sect.

However, in front of the person before him, Li Xiangyi could indeed say something.

I lost.

"Haha, Young Master Li, are you feeling down because you didn't achieve your goal today?"

Did they think I would meet with some secret person, or that there would be some earth-shattering conspiracy?

Young Master Li, I do indeed have another purpose today.

Li Xiangyi wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he maintained his smile.

"What is Manager Tang's other purpose?"

Tang Yu smiled, and then suddenly drew his sword.

I'll beat you up!

Chapter 4 Lotus Tower 4

The Four Gates had been secretly watching the Peach Blossom Pavilion, and Tang Yu was not unaware of this.

However, Shi Shui and the others did not use any annoying methods and remained polite, so Tang Yu did not take it to heart.

But half a year has passed, and logically speaking, anyone with a sound mind can see that her business is legitimate.

As soon as Li Xiangyi returned, he started keeping a close eye on her, clearly full of suspicion.

Tang Yu: "..."

Speechless, she felt that Si Gu Men was being too nosy, and Li Xiangyi was like an annoying mosquito.

They seemed determined to get their hands on something.

Therefore, Tang Yu's appearance today was intentional.

After all, not many people would venture out into the mountains in the dead of winter, and not many people would know if a fight broke out.

At this moment, amidst a blizzard.

After Tang Yu drew his sword and made his move, Li Xiangyi also quickly drew his sword, its cold light flashing, and clashed with Tang Yu's sword.

In an instant, the two were locked in combat.

Beneath the vast expanse of snow, their swordplay was extremely fierce, each swing seemingly capable of cleaving through the void.

The two figures crisscrossed and soared through the mountains and forests, the strong winds they generated stirring up the snow, making it fly even more fiercely and cover the sky.

The two swordsmen's moves were filled with murderous intent, as if they wanted to stain the snowstorm with blood.

However, from a distance, the figures of two peerless swordsmen dance gracefully in the swirling snow, resembling immortals ascending to heaven.

The two exchanged blows, their swordplay as dazzling as a profusion of flowers.

After Tang Yu used many sword moves, she was surprised to find that Li Xiangyi was getting stronger and stronger in the battle, and he could immediately learn her sword moves and use them to deal with her.

No wonder he was so arrogant in his youth; such talent was truly genius among geniuses, reminding her of someone.

However, the two had too much of a personality difference. After Tang Yu saw the strength of the person in front of him, he decided not to continue sparring and instead unleashed his final sword strike.

The sword strike, imbued with the power of the surrounding wind and snow, transformed into a mighty white torrent. This power, like a surging wave, instantly swept towards Li Xiangyi.

Despite his best efforts to resist, Li Xiangyi was still enveloped by the seemingly sentient thousands of white snowflakes.

The powerful impact caused him to crash to the ground like a falling meteor, tumbling down the mountainside, leaving him in a disheveled state with multiple bruises and swellings on his face.

Tang Yufei came over and saw the person who had fallen to the ground with a bruised and swollen face, and burst out laughing.

"Young Master Li, how are you feeling?"

Li Xiangyi struggled to his feet, leaning on his sword, his whole body aching.

"I humbly admit defeat; Manager Tang is truly the best in the world."

"He's someone who can take a loss," Tang Yu said with a smile that curved her eyes.

"I know that the sect leader has always suspected me of having ulterior motives, or perhaps he suspects that I want to disrupt the martial arts world of the Central Plains, or that I have some kind of conspiracy in the dark."

But I want to tell the sect leader something today.

"With my martial arts skills, I can become the leader of the martial arts world without anyone stopping me. I don't need to resort to any schemes or tricks."

With my beauty, it would be very easy for me to become the empress in the palace.

With my wisdom, my martial prowess, my beauty, and my wealth, I could rebel, conquer the world, and become an empress without resorting to intrigue or trickery.

To me, power and wealth are readily available; I don't need to resort to underhanded tactics to achieve my goals.

So, does Young Master Li understand now? You've been in a misunderstanding from the very beginning.
