This sentence was like a deafening roar in the midst of a herd of horses, shaking the crowd and causing them to look in the direction of the voice.
Li Chengfeng was shocked too. He turned to see Liu Sumei standing there with a bundle in her arms. She was tall, and although she was wearing a loose red fox fur robe, it could not hide her graceful figure. Beside her was a pretty girl dressed in silver, holding a jug of wine and two wine glasses.
Although the heavy snow had stopped for two to three days, there was still a lot of snow that had not melted. Looking from a high vantage point, one could see that the houses in Cheng 'an were all covered in white snow. It was a world of black and white everywhere, except for the bright red in the middle.
Liu Sumei's fiery red robe was embroidered with fluffy white fox fur. This was the softest and most delicate fur under the snow fox's armpit. It was expensive, worth thousands of gold pieces.
Her elegant and cold face was set off by the bright red and cold white color, making her look especially otherworldly.
Today, Liu Sumei had light makeup on and wore a silver-plated butterfly hairpin inlaid with jewels. There was a bright plum blossom brand on her forehead and a pair of jade earrings on her ears. She was a beauty that could captivate even birds and beasts. Anyone who looked at her would feel inferior and avert their eyes, stunned by her beauty.
Liu Sumei walked over gracefully. Even the arrogant Zhan Qisheng could not help but be stunned by her beauty. He stood rooted to the ground.
"Why are you here?"
Li Chengfeng looked at the girl he had only exchanged a few words with, confused and concerned. "You shouldn't have come!"
Liu Sumei smiled, "Before Zhixi was buried, didn't Young Master Li stand up for her?"
"That's different."
"To you, it's different, but to me, it's the same.
Although I live in a brothel, I know manners and honor. I don't want you to come back from your studies and scold the hundreds of thousands of people in Cheng 'an City for being heartless, immoral, and untrustworthy. "
Li Chengfeng knew she was teasing him with the same words she said to Zhou Qingyang at Sumei House. He laughed. "Aren't you afraid?"
Liu Sumei smiled. "No matter how powerful a cultivator is, he can't surpass the heavens. No matter how big the heavens are, they can't surpass reason.
How can there be a reason to be afraid of doing the right thing in this world? "
Li Chengfeng was moved. He looked Liu Sumei up and down and said in awe, "Women from brothels are really ambitious, they can even make men blush!
I'm impressed! "
Yuehan, who had been silent all this while, quietly observed everything. She stared at the phoenix pendant on Liu Sumei's waist, deep in thought.
Little Bell carried the wine bottle and glasses over, "Young Master Li, this wine was just warmed up by my mistress, I …" Before she could finish, Liu Sumei glanced at her, and Little Bell immediately corrected herself, "I carried it all the way here, and it's still warm. Drink it while it's hot!
It'll get cold if you don't drink it now! "
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Alright, since Goddess Sumei is sending me off, how can I be unreasonable?
Bring me the wine! "
"Ah, coming!"
Little Bell lived up to her name. Her voice was as crisp as a silver bell, pleasing to the ear. In this cold, windy weather, anyone who heard it would feel refreshed.
Little Bell poured a cup of wine and was about to pour a second cup when Li Chengfeng snatched the flask from her. He raised the flask to Liu Sumei and said, "Lady Sumei, I'll drink first!"
After saying that, he raised his head and poured the wine in the wine pot into his mouth like pouring water. Everyone saw that he did not close his mouth, and his throat moved as he swallowed all the wine that was like a silver chain into his stomach.
A drunkard in the crowd couldn't help but feel his throat itching. He cheered, "Great!"
However, when he saw the thugs glaring at him, he immediately shrunk back and covered his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Liu Sumei smiled faintly and raised her glass elegantly with both hands. Then, she used her long sleeves to cover her face while the other raised the glass and drained it in one gulp.
She had just finished when Li Chengfeng finished too. He smashed the wine cup on the floor and exclaimed, "Satisfying, satisfying!"
Little Bell stomped her feet. "Hey, who told you to smash it?
This flask is so expensive! "
He smiled. "No matter how expensive it is, I'll pay you back when I finish my studies!"
Little Bell broke into a smile. "That's a promise! You'll pay me back when you come back!"
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily, then knelt in the direction of his house and kowtowed. His eyes were slightly wet. "Mother, I'm going!" Su Yuehan also knelt and kowtowed. The two of them left under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
At the other end of the street, Madam Xie, who was still worried, lifted the curtains of her carriage and watched from afar. Her tears welled up in her eyes as she watched Li Chengfeng's figure from afar. Green Bead looked at Li Chengfeng from afar and wanted to say something. In the end, a string of tears rolled down her cheeks and she did not say anything. She turned and threw herself into Madam Xie's arms, crying, "Madam, will I ever be able to see Young Master again?"
Madam Xie held back her tears and hugged her. She whispered, "Definitely, my son is different from those people."
There were cultivators who transcended life and death, transcended Yin and Yang, and even shone as brightly as the sun and moon!
The Imperial Tutor, Chang Yuan, had lived since the founding emperor's generation. He still had white hair and a youthful complexion. He was hale and hearty, with no sign of the end of his life!
People like him had long abandoned morals and relationships. To them, familial relationships were just fleeting clouds. They would only reminisce for a moment when they were reminded of the past.
However, to Green Bead, Madam Xie, and the other mortals, morals and relationships were everything in their lives!
How could they bear the fact that the person closest to them had become a stranger to them in the end?
Liu Sumei looked at Li Chengfeng's back and murmured, "I advise you to drink to your heart's content. There will be no old friends on this long journey!"
Little Bell put down her tiptoes and said, "Miss … Miss, why did you come all the way here?"
Liu Sumei watched in a daze as Li Chengfeng gradually disappeared and sighed. "You don't understand."
Little Bell mumbled, "Yes, I wouldn't understand if you didn't tell me!
I'm not a worm in your stomach! "
As they spoke, Zhan Qisheng walked over and glared at them coldly, as if he wanted to rip their clothes off. "You … are you really not afraid of death?!"
Liu Sumei sighed softly and looked at Zhan Qisheng as if she was a child. "Zhan Qisheng, do your mother's Shuishui, Yinjiao and Guanyuan acupuncture points still hurt badly in winter?"
Zhan Qisheng's expression changed. He looked at Liu Sumei as if he had seen a ghost, his voice trembling. "Y-y-you, who are you?!
Who the hell are you?! "
Liu Sumei said calmly, "Accumulate some good karma for your mother. It wasn't easy for her to give birth to you. If you continue behaving like this, I'm afraid she won't live past next year."
Zhan Qisheng hissed, "Who the hell are you?!"
