Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

Lao Li's eyes lingered on the two of them, and he gritted his teeth and said, "...You two chat, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do."

"Master Liang, I'll leave the goods here. If you still need me for anything..." Lao Li glanced at Miss Ning beside him, "Well, please finish your business first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li immediately turned around and walked out of the house.

Liang Xun looked at the back of Lao Li who was walking away in two steps at a time, and almost reached out to grab him, shouting: "Wait, Li...!"

"That's right..." Old Li walked to the courtyard and covered his face with his hands helplessly, "Alas, this time it's a big fry."

Based on Lao Li's many years of experience as a private detective, there is definitely something wrong with these two people, so he should not bother them.

Lao Li put down his hand that was covering his face, looked at the mountain hidden in the shadows in the distance, and said in a dull tone: "This chessboard is a bit troublesome."

——————Shangshu Xingyu Inn——————

"Hmm..." Xiyue opened her eyes and was about to get up subconsciously, but she felt someone was holding her, so she immediately stopped her action.

Xiyue looked to the side and saw Xi's closed eyes, listening to Xi's gentle breathing: "Are you asleep?"

"Good boy." Xiyue gently touched Xi's head, and then, without waking Xi up, she slightly turned sideways and held Xi in her arms.

It is worth mentioning that Xi can sleep very deeply after falling asleep, so even if Xiyue turns sideways, there is no need to worry about waking Xi up.

But for Xiyue, the other person's deep sleep was not a reason for her to be lavish.

Besides, I finally get a good night's sleep, don't wake me up~

Just when Xiyue wanted to close her eyes and go to sleep again, she raised her eyes slightly and looked out the window.

"Hey~" Nian appeared quietly outside the window at this moment, looking at the situation in the room, a little surprised, "Good evening, Xi... Oh~ Did I disturb your good time~"

Just as Nian's voice fell, a water bomb sprayed directly onto Nian's face.

Xiyue's hand gently covered Xi's ear: "Day after day, you just hope that the world will not be in chaos. Are you really not afraid that Xi will beat you after knowing it?"

"Hehe~" The young man wiped the water off his face and spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid at all. Besides, isn't it fun to see Miss Xiyue and Xi hug each other?"

"Well, mother and daughter seems to be fine. Isn't there a saying that a disciple surpasses his master~"

"Alas..." Xiyue shook her head helplessly, "You are such a big mouth, but why did you find us only now? Shouldn't you be waiting for us at the entrance and act as our tour guide?"

"I do want to~" Nian shrugged, still with a playful smile on his face, "I'm worried about disturbing your appointment...Okay, I won't say anymore."

"I just didn't expect you two to come so late, so I didn't come to pick you up. And I just found out you two have arrived."

"Why are you in such a hurry to come here?" Xiyue smiled, "Do I really need to do anything? I was just invited by my good friend to come and take a look."

“I’m just a traveler.”

"Oh~" Nian raised an eyebrow, "So you are not Liberi today, do you want to indicate that you are not here to be a doctor today?"

"Who knows?" Xiyue smiled, "But if someone is injured, I will still be able to give up my duties as a doctor."

"That should be enough." Nian sat on the windowsill, looking at Xiyue, "I guess the Grand Master didn't expect that you, Xiyue, would definitely help Yan Country."

"For him, as long as he can control the situation, it is his victory."

"Hmm..." Xiyue nodded, "I walked around the city today, and no one appeared around. I think the Master should have understood what I meant."

"After all, for him, it doesn't matter whether you help or not. Your presence here is more important." Nian shrugged, "But I wonder if Second Brother will be stubborn?"

"Oh?" Xiyue raised her eyebrows. "It seems that you have communicated with the Grand Tutor a lot. It seems that my visit this time was a bit abrupt."

"It's impossible not to communicate." Nian spread his hands, "And the Grand Tutor is not willing to suffer any loss at all. He wants to use this matter to solve the problems of Simaitai and the Ministry of Rites at the same time."

"But it seems understandable. After all, he finally found a chessboard that could calm the situation~"

Chapter 193: The Year of Seeking Death

"That's pretty sure." Xiyue looked at Nian and shrugged, "By the way, wasn't that letter you wrote under his instruction?"

"It's part of it." Nian also shrugged, "Taifu has shown his sincerity, so I can't just do it casually. I'm just helping out."

"But to be honest, it doesn't seem to matter whether I write it or not. It should be the same if he writes it himself, right?"

"If the invitation was sent by the Grand Tutor..." Xiyue touched Xi's head, "maybe Xi wouldn't come, and the game wouldn't be able to continue."

"If you put it that way, it seems so." Nian touched his chin, "But if you come here, Xi should follow you, right?"

Nian showed an expression of thinking first, but his eyes wandered on Xiyue. He secretly took out a mobile phone in his hand and took a picture of the scene in front of him at an extremely fast speed.

"Nian~~" Xiyue's voice sounded faintly behind Nian. When Nian noticed it, Xiyue, who was originally holding Xi, appeared behind him at some point.

Nian's gaze shifted to the bed. Xiyue, who was originally on the bed, was still holding Xiyue and looking at her with a smile on her face. She was no different from the Xiyue behind her.

"Hehehe~" Nian immediately dismantled the phone, but it was too late, the photo was already in her hands, and she couldn't stop it!

Even if she dismantled the phone now, as long as she rebuilt it later, the photo would still be in her hands.

"Aren't you going to explain, Nian~" Xiyue, standing on the balcony, looked at Nian with a smile, her eyes cast at the mobile phone that just turned into a point of light and disappeared from Nian's hand.

"What's the point of taking this photo? If Xi finds out, she will just chase you and beat you up, right?"

"I'll have fun~" Nian jumped off the windowsill and looked at Xiyue on the bed. He didn't turn back to look at Xiyue below, "Well, which one is your water clone?"

"Neither." Xiyue in front of you waved her hands, "It's all fine. It's the real body, or it can be considered a water clone, as long as I want."

"Of course, if you want to talk, I'm still lying on the bed. I just used water mist to pinch it. If you don't believe me, you can touch it."

"Well, really?" Nian was not polite at all and directly reached out to pat Xiyue's shoulder, but Nian's hand passed through Xiyue's body without any hindrance.

Just as Xiyue said, it was just a body made up of a layer of water mist, extremely fragile.

"It can be either..." Nian touched his chin, his eyes wandering back and forth between Xiyue in front of him and Yueyue on the bed, "It's interesting, but Miss Xiyue, are you schizophrenic like this?"

"I won't, and I can't." Xiyue shook her head, "This is just what I need."

"Hmm..." Nian leaned against the fence behind him, looking towards the inner room. After some thought in his mind, he said, "From this angle, they do look like a couple..."

"But I still have to say that having children is actually more important..." While he was still speaking, Nian had already jumped out of the inn. He just wanted to commit a small death before leaving.

But just as he jumped out, he was hit hard on the back of his head.

——————Shang Shu·Shang Shu——————

"What a hassle." Lao Li pressed down his hat and walked towards the guest room Liang Xun had arranged for him. "Liang Xun was found, but how come he was gone when I got here?"

"It shouldn't be..."

"Hmm?" Just as Lao Li was about to push open the door, his eyebrows raised slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then he gently opened the door and slipped in.

Lao Li closed the door with his hands behind his back and looked at the person sitting on the chair in the room. He said with a hint of smile, "Why do I remember this guest room? Lord Liang said it was for me to rest."

"Miss Du, it's fine that you came uninvited, but why did you make my tea?"

"It's Lord Liang's tea, not yours." Miss Du raised her eyebrows slightly and pointed at another cup of tea beside her with pretentiousness, "I also made your cup, be content."

Lao Li looked at Miss Du and chuckled: "Miss Du, are you planning to continue to charge her?"

Miss Du pretended to be mysterious and remained silent for a while: "Guess what?"

"I think the Liang Mansion has a nice view. Miss Du wouldn't be so bold." Lao Li didn't care. He strode over and picked up the teacup on the table. "Why don't you tell me first, what are you doing here?"

Miss Du was a little surprised to see Lao Li sitting with his legs crossed and looking very relaxed, but she immediately retracted her expression and said, "You are so relaxed that you still have time to chat with me."

Lao Li took a sip of tea, his eyes full of smiles: "You have already made tea."

"...Okay." Miss Du drank the tea, took a sip, and finally put the teacup down. "Let me be frank. I'm here to ask you to do me a favor."

Lao Li nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Ah?" Miss Du looked at Lao Li in surprise. "That's strange. I thought you were suspicious by nature. Why are you so easy to talk to?"

"Liang Xun has let you in, so why should I worry?" The old carp smiled, put down the teacup, and asked tentatively, "Do you know him?"

"...I am just asking for a favor from Lord Liang as a junior." Miss Du looked at Lao Li, "My father has always had a good relationship with the government."

"I see." Lao Li nodded, and it seemed that he didn't care that much about this matter.

Miss Du seemed to be annoyed by Lao Li's U-turn and deliberately said, "Last time we met, I wanted to steal your goods."

"It's Lord Liang's stuff, not mine." Lao Li waved his hand, "Let him worry about the troubles, and I'll just be responsible... to deal with them as they come."

Miss Du looked at the frank Lao Li and was somewhat silent: "...Are you really willing to believe me?"

"I don't need to bear grudge against a little girl, right?" Old Li looked at Miss Du and suddenly said, "Well, everyone has a time when they are young, and they have to make faces and pretend to be good in order to save face."

Miss Du exploded when she heard this: "Who, who cares about face? I was..."

Lao Li picked up the tea slowly and said slowly, "Did you have a quarrel with the shopkeeper?"

"...Oh, I find you to be a very scary person." Miss Du looks lazy and careless, but she actually knows everything in her heart.

"People like you are the most terrible."

Lao Li picked up the teacup and shook it gently: "At least I won't pick up a bench and hit someone the first time I meet him."

"Tell me about it. When it comes to business, you should be honest."

——————Shangshu Xingyu Inn——————

The sun shone obliquely on Xi's face, causing Xi to subconsciously raise her hand to cover her eyes: "Um... morning?"

"Hey~ My sister, are you awake?" Just when Xi was still a little sleepy, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"!!!" Xi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, because when she heard that voice, she remembered what he did last night.

For example, he can fall asleep while holding Xiyue, and Xiyue can now feel who he is holding.

"Are you awake?" Xi felt his head being touched. This action made him even stiffer. He raised his head stiffly and looked at Xiyue who was looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Good morning." Xiyue touched Xi's head again, "You should have slept well."

"Okay..." Xi moved away from Xiyue's body somewhat stiffly, and like a stiff puppet, he turned over and got out of the bed.

Only at this time did Xi have time to think about another thing. Xi looked to the side and saw Nian sitting on a chair with a huge bump on his head.

Seeing Xi's eyes looking at him, Nian raised his hand and waved it towards Xi: "Good morning, how did you sleep? From the looks of you, you slept very happily, right?"

"You, you..." Xi looked at Nian and didn't know what to say. He could only ask angrily, "How long have you been here?!"

"How long have you been here?" Nian's tone was a little teasing, "How should I put it? I just slept with you for a while, so how was it? Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm~~" Xi listened to Nian's words, as if steam began to come out of his head and his face gradually turned red. Finally, he pounced on him and took out a big sword in his hand.

"Go to hell!"

“Hey hey hey!” Seeing Xi rushing over, Nian quickly jumped to the side from his chair, but he still kept talking, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you just take a nap? Your sister and I often sleep~”

"Or are you worried that your sleeping posture will be exposed? Don't worry, I'm the only one who saw it so far~"

"So you go die!" Xi held up the big sword, "Stop right there!"

"It's so noisy so early in the morning." Xiyue shook her head helplessly, and quickly jumped off the bed and stood in front of Xi, just in time to hold Xi, who was holding the sword, in her arms.

"Alright, alright, why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"

"That's right." Nian, who was hiding behind Xiyue, chimed in, "It's early in the morning, maybe someone is still sleeping, don't make such a fuss~"

"You too." Xiyue snapped her fingers, and a hammer made of water instantly gathered above Nian's head and knocked down, "Who on earth was so rude this morning?"

"So, Xiyue, you didn't let me run away yesterday~" Nian touched the top of his head. The hammer was soft and there was no pain, but what made Nian a little indignant was that the attitude towards him was a bit different.

Why did Xi try to persuade her gently, while she just took direct action?

"Because you are the culprit of everything." Xiyue rolled her eyes, not hiding her partiality, "Where do you think that bump on your head came from?"

"Oh, right." Xi calmed down at this time, put away his weapon, and looked at the big bag on Zainian's head. "I just noticed how you got that bag that looks like the one in the animation?"

"Do you really want to know?" Nian became excited again when he talked about this. Just when he wanted to show the photo in front of Xi, he saw Xiyue looking at him with a kind smile.

"..." But Nian was not afraid. On the contrary, he looked at Xiyue provocatively and decisively showed the photo, "It's this photo...!"

————Shang Shu·Take Jiangfeng·Mountain Road——————

"Is it really okay for us to tie Nian up there?" Xi, holding a sausage in her hand, suddenly asked with some concern, "Will the cleaning staff of the inn think we are kidnapping or something like that if they come in?"

"I thought you were really worried about the New Year." Xiyue smiled, "Are you really worried about this?"

"Who wants to care about her..." Xi's face flushed, "We must be worried. If it is exposed, will there be any problems with our trip?"

"Don't worry." Xiyue touched Xi's head. "Not long after we left, that guy used his mark to run away. Oh, but before she went out, she fixed the things you damaged this morning."

"That's good." Xi nodded, then looked at some shops along the mountain road, "But it seems we are too early, many shops are not open yet."

"This is also good." Xiyue smiled, "We came early and there are not many tourists. Naturally, we should take our time to enjoy the mountain scenery."

"When there are too many people, it's crowded and tiring, you won't want to come out, right?"
