The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

Lei Wujie was greatly surprised to see Xiao Se appear on the back mountain: "Why are you here? No, how dare you come? Aren't you afraid my master will beat you up!"

"It's alright, that monk is holding your master back for now!" Xiao Se said calmly, his hands tucked into his sleeves. He continued, "Little fool, come on, let's go down the mountain!"

Lei Wujie scratched his head, smiled, and said, "I'm not going. I still need to practice my sword!"

"You're not going? Never mind then!" Xiao Se turned around, pretending to leave, and muttered to himself, "I'll go tell Miss Ye right now that you little blockhead aren't going!"

"Miss Ye?" Lei Wujie was taken aback. He caught up with Xiao Se, looking like a curious child, and asked, "Eh... who is this Miss Ye?"

"Hey! It's that girl you danced with at the Hundred Flowers Festival!" Xiao Se said, sighing, "It's a pity you didn't go! What a waste of her kindness! I'll go talk to her and see if you can find her a better husband!"

At the Flower Festival, let's dance together, girls!

A stunningly beautiful figure immediately flashed into Lei Wujie's mind—the girl he had fallen in love with at first sight.

He muttered to himself, "So it was her... I didn't expect to see her again so soon!"

Coming to his senses, Lei Wujie looked for Xiao Se, only to find that Xiao Se had already walked more than ten feet away. He immediately shouted, "Hey, wait for me!"

Xiao Se's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he asked with a grin, "Little blockhead, didn't you say you weren't going? Didn't you want to practice your sword?"

"Hehehe! It won't make a difference if it's just a little while!" Lei Wujie scratched his head, tugged at Xiao Se's clothes, and suddenly seemed to remember something, asking, "Hey, I'm going to meet that girl, should I bring some gifts or something?"

Xiao Se was immediately greatly surprised.

This little blockhead has actually figured it out; he knows he should bring a gift when meeting a girl.

It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy at all!

Seeing Xiao Se's surprised expression, Lei Wujie was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Could it be... that I remembered it wrong?"

Xiao Se smiled slightly, shaking his head as he said, "No, you're not mistaken! You little rascal, let me test you. Tell me... what would be a good gift?"

Lei Wujie was taken aback for a moment, scratched his head, clapped his hands, and said, "I know, bring food! That's right, food!"

Chapter 106 shows some improvement, but not much!

Xiao Se shook his head, realizing he shouldn't have had any expectations.

This little blockhead has made some progress, but not much!

Upon seeing Xiao Se, Lei Wujie shook his head, scratched his head, and said somewhat strangely, "Eh? Am I wrong? If someone is going to give me a gift, treating me to a meal would be the best thing!"

"Of course not! What girl likes to eat?" Xiao Se shook his head and muttered, "You'll never win that girl over like that!"

Lei Wujie followed Xiao Se's steps, looking puzzled, and scratched his head, saying, "Then, how about giving me a piece of clothing? Or a candied hawthorn?"

"You little blockhead, you're getting more and more unreliable! You might as well eat!" Xiao Se shook his head and said, "Follow me, let's hurry up and leave. That monk probably won't be able to hold out for long! Oh, he might even get angry and come after me!"

"Chasing you? Why would Daoji chase you?" Lei Wujie was greatly surprised.

Xiao Se finally managed a smile on his usually expressionless face, though he was quite disappointed that he hadn't seen the monk's expression.

Looking at Lei Wujie, who was standing next to him like a curious child, Xiao Se said, "Oh... I just helped that monk with a small favor!"

Lei Wujie pursed his lips and muttered, "So superstitious! Never mind!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and started thinking about the gift.

If you're not going to give me food or clothes, then what are you going to give me?

On the other side, Tang Lian stood with her hands behind her back, head down, pondering how to get Ye Ruoyi out.

I originally thought that compared to the hellish difficulty of getting Lei Wujie out of the back mountain, it would be easier to find Ye Ruoyi myself.

Now it seems that the difficulty is even greater.

The first question is... how can I go to a girl's room so late at night?

Men and women should not touch each other!

In Snow Moon City, Tang Lian has always been a respectable person.

This restriction is even more severe for him!

If it were Boss Xiao, he would have shamelessly gone in long ago!

"I'm really bad at this kind of thing!" Tang Lian sighed and muttered, "What should I do?"

Just then, a small hand gently patted Tang Lian.

Then, a clear, melodious girl's voice rang out: "Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Tang Lian turned his head, and a lively young girl was standing behind him.

The girl was very tall, with stunningly beautiful features, large, intelligent eyes, and a slender figure. She was also carrying a spear that was much taller than herself.

This young girl was none other than Sikong Qianluo, the daughter of Sikong Changfeng, the third city lord of Snow Moon City.

Tang Lian's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.

With Sikong Qianluo here, things will be much easier!

He immediately turned to Sikong Qianluo and said, "Junior Sister, what are you doing here? Are you planning to sneak out to play again?"

"Hey hey hey!"

Sikong Qianluo took two steps back, turned her head somewhat embarrassed, and whispered, "Senior Brother understands me best. You...you mustn't tell on me!"

Tang Lian's eyes darted around, she crossed her arms and said calmly, "I won't tell on you, but you have to do me a favor!"

"Help? Ask me?" Sikong Qianluo's pretty face was full of surprise.

She must have heard right – her senior brother needed her help.

This is unprecedented!

Tang Lian nodded and said, "That's right. Will you help me or not? If you don't, I'll tell my master!"

"Tch!" Sikong Qianlu pouted.

My senior brother doesn't even know how to ask for help, let alone threaten someone to help him.

However, this is the first time I've helped my senior brother, so I can't miss it!

So, with wide, curious eyes, he said, "Okay, okay, I agree. Senior Brother, what can I do for you?"

Seeing this, Tang Lian sighed, pointed to Ye Ruoyi's courtyard, and said, "I would like to ask you to invite Miss Ye Ruoyi out..."

"Wow!"

Sikong Qianluo immediately covered her mouth, her bright, watery eyes burning with a fierce thirst for gossip.

When did my senior brother take a fancy to... Miss Ye Ruoyi?

You still want to ask her out!

Interesting, very interesting!

Tang Lian knew Sikong Qianluo very well; she could tell at a glance that the girl had misunderstood!

His face immediately hardened, and he said, "You've misunderstood. I have a friend, and I'm doing this on behalf of my friend..."

"Stop, Senior Brother, you don't need to explain! I understand!" Sikong Qianluo covered her mouth and muttered, "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret! I'm very tight-lipped! I won't say a word!"

Tang Lian was immediately speechless. You understand? Understand my ass!

He immediately made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "It's Lei Wujie! He wants to see Miss Ye Ruoyi! I was just acting as a go-between!"

"Lei Wujie?" Sikong Qianluo scratched her head, then suddenly remembered something, clapped her hands, and exclaimed in surprise, "I remember who he is! The one from the Hundred Flowers Society who uses 'Evening Moon and Morning Flowers'?"

Tang Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, it's him! He fell in love at first sight at the Hundred Flowers Gathering!"

Sikong Qianlu counted on her fingers, calculating the generations.

Lei Wujie is Li Hanyi's disciple, and Li Hanyi is the Second City Lord...

After all that calculation, wouldn't Lei Wujie be his junior brother?

I absolutely have to help with this!

So Sikong Qianluo nodded and said, "Alright! I'll help you with this!"

"Okay, hurry up, Lei Wujie is almost here!" Tang Lian nodded.

Sikong Qianluo tossed the spear to Tang Lian, then scaled the wall and entered Ye Ruoyi's courtyard with practiced ease!

Upon seeing this, Tang Lian slapped her forehead!

This girl must have been sneaking around and going astray a lot!

Soon, Ye Ruoyi's surprised voice came from the courtyard: "Who?"

"It's me!" Sikong Qianluo greeted.

"Ah, it's Qianluo. What can I do for you?"

"Hehe, I'll tell you a little secret!"

Then came a flurry of whispers.

No one knows what Sikong Qianluo said, but soon Ye Yiruo pushed open the courtyard door and came out.

She was still dressed in green, with light makeup on her face and a slight blush.

She gracefully approached Tang Lian and said, "Senior Brother, let's go!"

"Yes, Miss Ye, please follow me!" Tang Lian nodded and led the way.

Sikong Qianluo ran out, made a gesture at Tang Lian, and said with a grin, "Hey, Senior Brother, the matter is settled, shouldn't you thank me?"

"Thank you for what?" Tang Lian's face hardened, and she retorted confidently, "I haven't even asked you who you learned your wall-climbing technique from!"

"What technique? That's lightness skill!" Sikong Qianlu stuck out her tongue, then suddenly remembered that Tang Lian was changing the subject, and immediately pouted and said, "Don't change the subject, tell me, how are you going to thank me? Otherwise I'll tell my dad you bullied me!"

Tang Lian was speechless. She sighed and said, "Fine, fine, what kind of thanks do you want?"

Chapter 107: Treat others with sincerity, just like a turtle looking at a green bean!

"I want to go out and play!" Sikong Qianluo said with a grin. "I've been cooped up in Snowmoon City for so many days, I'm so bored!"

"No way! That goes against my bottom line!" Tang Lian said sternly, "Besides, it's too dangerous outside. With your mediocre skills and lack of experience, you might get sold out without even realizing it!"

Sikong Qianluo pouted. She knew Tang Lian wouldn't agree, so she pouted and said, "Then... lend me some money!"
