Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Woo..." Xi nodded, and finally looked up at the top of Xiyue's head, "I have a question, why did you suddenly change back to Liberi's state?"

"When you came here, didn't you say that you were here for a trip, so you would use the dragon form instead of the Liberi form? Why did you change back just now?"

"Because I sensed an old friend." Xiyue smiled and looked at two people who were talking to a porter a little further away.

--------

"You are so casual. You just grab anyone and ask them to do something for you. Aren't you afraid of being cheated?" Master Shen glanced at the porter who was leaving.

Lao Li shrugged: "Being a detective always involves some risks."

Master Shen looked at Lao Li and asked, "So do you trust him now?"

"I can trust him. He just walked by and many shop owners greeted him, which means he is popular." Lao Li nodded and pointed at the shops around him. "A porter who is willing to cheat a foreigner like me for such a small amount of money would not be so popular around here."

"Besides, it's better than searching around like a headless fly. Just now, didn't it help us eliminate the three peaks?"

Master Shen nodded in understanding: "That makes sense... Then where should we go first? Do you have any clues?"

"A clue?" Old Li looked around. "A person who our prefect insisted was in Shangshu but could not be found at all would not stay in this ordinary mountain town at all."

"So the problem is probably with the wine cup."

"As for the others..." Lao Li was about to continue speaking, but he saw someone waving at him from a distance. Lao Li raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a strange fate."

After pondering for a moment, Lao Li walked towards the two men and said, "Let's go, Master Shen. We may be able to get some strange clues from that person."

Chapter 194: Drunkard

"Is he a friend you know?" Master Shen frowned as he looked at the two people in the distance. "He is also from Longmen and came here with you?"

"If possible, I hope so..." Lao Li shook his head. "It would never be a bad thing to have a kind doctor."

Let’s go, let’s go, whether it is a coincidence or there is another reason, we will know after we verify it.”

"That's true." Master Shen nodded and followed Lao Li.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Xiyue?" Lao Li greeted Xiyue enthusiastically, "There is another lady I haven't seen before. Are you two here for a trip today?"

"Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't seen Miss Xiyue for a long time. Has Mr. Great Emperor let you take your annual leave?"

"Good morning, Lao Li." Xiyue greeted Lao Li with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. Mr. Emperor arranged for me to go to Rhodes Island for medical exchanges."

Then, Xiyue patted Xi on the shoulder and said, "This kid is called Xi. He is a friend who came with us and is also an operator of Rhodes Island."

"Oh, so you're a friend of Penguin Logistics?" Lao Li nodded in understanding, then looked around and saw a teahouse that seemed to have just been set up not far away. "There happens to be a teahouse over there, how about having a couple of cups?"

"My treat."

"Of course." Xiyue nodded, "Thank you for the trouble, Laoli."

"Hey, it's just a small matter." Lao Li waved his hand and saluted like a gentleman. "Come on, two beautiful ladies, please~"

"Yeah." Xiyue smiled and took Xichao's hand and walked towards the tea stall inside, glancing at the alley on the side intentionally or unintentionally.

"Someone is watching us, Xiyue." Xi poked Xiyue on the mental channel.

"I know." Xiyue replied calmly in the mental channel, "Don't worry, they are not from Simuitai, and they are not watching us."

"Of course I know they are not from Simuitai." Xi shrugged, "They only stare at us, and they only use two methods. One is to find a master, and those people can't even hide their bodies. It's impossible for them to be me or stare at us directly."

"Is it the one following the two behind? And..."

Xi looked back at Lao Li, and Lao Li also felt Xi's direct gaze towards him, so he raised his hand and waved to Xi in a friendly manner.

"Something doesn't feel right?"

"Didn't we ask the brothers to stop the tourists on the mountain road?" The people in Xiaodao whispered to each other, "Why are there suddenly two more tourists?"

"I seem to know that Longmen guy. Do you want to go together?" another person suggested. He had just seen Lao Li and Xiyue talking.

"It doesn't look like that." Another person shook his head. "We didn't receive any intelligence. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Besides, they can avoid the brothers guarding the mountain road and avoid getting into trouble."

"That's right. Let's wait until those two leave. By the way, let the brothers in the tea shed..."

"I just said, don't cause trouble, don't give bad advice, leave some room for others so that we can meet again someday..."

--------------

"A few guests, the tea is here." A waiter put the tea down, "Excuse me, is there anything else you need?"

"No more, thank you very much." Lao Li took out his wallet from his clothes and paid the money readily.

After all, if Lao Li guessed correctly, they would not be able to finish the tea.

"Okay, thank you very much, sir." The waiter took the money from Lao Li's hand and immediately retreated.

"Come on." Lao Li picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea into the cup. At the same time, he asked intentionally or unintentionally, "By the way, why don't I see Texas and the others?"

"It's been a long time since Lungmen Texas and Exia have appeared. Are they here too?"

"No, they are still in Rhodes Island." Xiyue shook her head and took the tea brought by Lao Li. "Today, I came here at the invitation of a friend."

"It's an invitation from a friend." Lao Li nodded, and then took another cup of tea. "Then is this Miss Xi the friend who invited Miss Xiyue?"

"No." Xi took the tea brought by Lao Li, looked at the tea stems in the tea, and frowned, "Someone else invited me, Xiyue and me to come here."

"Oh, that's how it is." Lao Li nodded, and he had a better idea in his mind. It seems that this matter is not that complicated. At least Penguin Logistics or the Emperor is not involved here.

But it's true, why would the emperor, who has nothing better to do, come and meddle in this? As for Xiyue and Xi, it should just be a pure coincidence.

Well, since they just happened to come here for tourism, he and Master Shen should leave quickly. It would be bad to drag these two into trouble.

Lao Li is not really powerless. The fact that he can be a private detective in a place like Longmen, and is quite famous at that, is not entirely due to his ability to judge people.

So Lao Li also felt that the few people who were staring at them in the alley just now were probably trouble again. In that case, they were here to travel, so he shouldn't drag them into it.

"Oh, it's really a great place to travel." Lao Li raised his teacup and took a sip. "Well, in that case, ah, by the way, it's already this late, and I still have work to do. You two can enjoy your tea slowly."

Lao Li glanced at Master Shen standing beside him, indicating that he could leave. Then he bowed and said to Xi and Xi: "I'm sorry, both of you. I wish you a pleasant trip."

"It's okay." Xiyue shook her head in understanding. "I wish you both good luck with your work."

"Thank you very much, Miss Xiyue, for your kind words." Lao Li stood up, "By the way, I wish you two a safe trip."

"………" Xiyue looked at Lao Li who was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Also pay attention to safety when completing the work. There are many people in Shangshu, so you must remember to leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future."

"..." The old carp's action of adjusting his hat paused for a moment, and after a while he said dully, "Thank you Miss Xiyue for your reminder, I will definitely pay attention to it."

"Is this all right?" Xiyue took a sip of the tea. The tea tasted very bitter, causing Xiyue to frown slightly. "Tsk, forget it, let's go."

"...Xiyue." Xi stared at Laoli's back as he left. "What happened just now... um!"

Xiyue patted Xi's head and said, "Let's go. It's okay. I'm here."

"Yeah." Xi nodded, and at the same time, she mumbled a little, "I was wondering why Nian suddenly called the two of us over. It turns out that the second brother wants to cause trouble again."

As he was walking, Lao Li suddenly held his forehead slightly, looked to the side in a daze, and then looked at Master Shen beside him: "Did I say anything just now?"

"No, what's wrong?" Master Shen frowned at Lao Li, "If you feel tired, why don't we go back and rest first?"

"..." Old Li thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it, there's no need. Let's go and check for other pavilions that we can find."

"Then... where are those two people?" Master Shen took a look at the pavilion behind him. The two people disappeared without a trace. Looking at the empty pavilion, Master Shen frowned slightly, "Who are those two people?"

"I don't know that Miss Xi." Lao Li also looked behind him and straightened his hat. "But Miss Xiyue is a legendary doctor in this land."

"Oh, how legendary it is." Master Shen seemed very interested and asked.

"How should I put it?" Old Li touched his chin. "As far as I know, as long as you have medical skills and are willing to become a doctor, as long as you tie a blue feather on your head."

"You can become a letter doctor, and most villages and most mercenary groups will respect letter doctors and provide help as much as possible."

"Of course, this is also inseparable from the contributions of other medical practitioners, but as the first letter doctor, Miss Xiyue is still enough to be called a legend."

"I see. He single-handedly changed the way doctors are treated in this land." Master Shen nodded. "He is worthy of being called a legend in this land."

"Then what you wanted to ask just now should not be this matter, if the other party is just a doctor."

"I'm just worried whether Mr. Dadi would be interested in this matter? But it's obvious that I'm overthinking it." Lao Li shrugged, "Let's go, it's getting late, and the job given by Lord Liang is not easy."

"...That's true." Master Shen nodded, still looking back at the pavilion, his eyes were somewhat deep, 'To be able to disappear without any movement under my perception... is indeed enough to be called a legend.'

——————Shangshu·Jiangfeng——————

There is a pavilion on the mountain peak. At first, it was sparsely visited. From the pavilion, one can see the past and present scenery of Shangshu at a glance. It is a beautiful place. It is a good place for spiritual masters to fight, or a good place to drink and enjoy the scenery.

In the pavilion, the blue-haired girl was half leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, holding a wine gourd in her arms, and looked like she had fallen asleep after getting drunk.

There were many bamboo slips and papers scattered on the ground, and even on the ground there were poems that looked like they were written with a thick brush.

"Hmm?" Ling, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and turned to look at Xiyue and Xi who had just entered a state of stagnation. "Oh, you came so fast?"

"Sister Ling..." Xi looked at her carefully and wondered if she had drunk too much. At the same time, she thought that no one would notice her, so she raised her hand and shook at Sister Ling, "Long time no see."

"Hey, Xi, come and give me a hug~" Ling rolled down from the bench, then appeared behind Xi and hugged her, "You finally decided to come out and play?"

"Oh, I sensed you when I met Xiyue last time. I was really surprised. I thought you really wouldn't come out~"

"Let go." Xi pushed Ling's face with some disdain, "Sister Ling, how much have you drunk? You reek of alcohol!"

"That was probably in a dream, drinking with someone~" Ling left Xi's body and stretched, "I had a pretty good time drinking, but it would be better if I got drunk~"

"Miss Ling, you have a problem~" Xiyue looked at Ling with a smile, "It seems that you didn't drink enough last time?"

"And here on the ground..." Xiyue looked at the bamboo slips and papers scattered on the ground and the ink traces on the pillars and the floor, and couldn't help feeling a headache and itchy hands.

"I had expected that if it was so messy in the dream, it wouldn't be much better in reality, but this is beyond my expectations."

As he spoke, Xiyue simply started to help clean up. Of course, those lines on the walls and the ground were probably poems drawn with his tail.

Keep it, it still looks good.

"No matter how much you like drinking, you still have to clean up the place you live in." While cleaning, Xiyue muttered, "There's hardly any place to step. Do you want to drift around every day?"

"Like I said last time, this is your hard work, so you must cherish it."

"Ahahaha..." Ling scratched her head with a headache. To be honest, she was not very good at dealing with people like Xiyue. "This... didn't he just wake up?"

"Oh..." Xiyue picked up all the bamboo slips with water, rolled them up, and helped to pile them up on an empty bench beside her. The papers were stacked one by one, and a group of them were placed next to them and pressed down with an empty bamboo slip.

"Seeing it in real life, this is exactly the same as Shumei's style..." Ling looked at Xiyue, who was emitting the maternal glow, "this old mother's breath coming towards me..."

"Forget it." Xiyue looked at Ling and asked, "How did the chess game in the dream go?"

"Well~" Ling spread his hands, "Nothing special, I stopped winning more than ten years ago, so it's just a small loss."

"Is that so?" Xiyue nodded, but didn't care too much, just looked towards the countryside, and then looked at Shang Shu below with a heavy face.

"I wonder where the Master can go next?"

"That's much more complicated." Ling also looked at Yifang, "I don't know what move my second brother will make in this game."

"But~"

"What's wrong?" Xiyue turned around and looked at Ling, "But what?"

Ling picked up the wine gourd from his waist and shook it towards Xiyue: "Of course, don't worry about it for now and drink another round with me, how about it?"

"And Xi, do you want to have some too?"

"No." Xi immediately shook her head. "I don't like drinking, and if you want to drink, go drink by yourself, don't drag me along."

"Didn't I say I can't get drunk?" Xiyue looked at Ling helplessly, "I don't have the ability to get drunk physically."

"Then let yourself be able to get drunk~" Ling directly took Xiyue's shoulder, "As the ocean, it's easy to make a body. Since you can't get drunk, why not make a body that can get drunk?"

"Ah this..."

Chapter 195: Invitation and chess game

"Hmm..." Ling took a mouthful of wine and then put the wine gourd on the table, "Ah~ This is what drinking to your heart's contentment is all about."

"But..." Ling looked at Xiyue with some dissatisfaction. Although her face was red and her body was shaky, her eyes were still clear. "Why is Miss Xiyue still so clear-headed?"

"After all, although my body is drunk now..." Xiyue pointed to another Xiyue who was taking out kitchen utensils from her clothes and preparing to cook, "but my mind is still not drunk."

"Well, but..." Xiyue stretched out her hand to grab a pair of bamboo slips beside her, but missed. "Some of the reactions of the body when drunk will still occur."

"Ah, so you mean just hold on?" Lingyi thought for a moment and looked at Xiyue and asked sincerely, "Then... can Xiyue over there turn off her phone?"

"I don't mind~" Xiyue shrugged, "But I guess it's actually useless, and..."

"I'm going to cook now~" Xiyue waved the iron pot in her hand at Ling outside the pavilion, "Could it be that you don't plan to eat later?"

"Hmm..." After a brief thought, Ling shook his head towards Xiyue, "Then come on, Miss Xiyue!"

There was no way. Based on Shumei's personality, if Ling Danfan dared to answer at this time that he didn't have to eat, then she would have to watch others eat later.
