Chapter 130 Mu City Villa

Li Xi arranged for the two to have a competition at a nearby teahouse three days later.

Du Yifei went back to prepare in high spirits. He was full of confidence; in the art of disguise, he was second to none. He was over thirty years old and had been in the disguise industry for twenty years—no one could compare to him.

Once he learns that person's gambling skills, he will never lose all his money again.

Feng Monian watched his cheerful figure as he walked away, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"Brother Feng, you're amazing! Your acting skills are award-worthy," Li Xi exclaimed.

Knowing that the matter was mostly resolved, the two returned to Tingfeng Courtyard with peace of mind. At this time, the others who had gone out had not yet returned.

Li Xi left a note telling her family that she was going to Mu City for a few days before heading there with Feng Monian.

The renovation of the Spicy Hot Pot branch is also going on holiday; I need to go and see how it's going.

"Brother Feng, do you think Du Yifei suspects we're putting on an act for him?" Li Xi felt things were going too smoothly and was a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, this person is extremely skilled, but he's not very sociable. He used to be obsessed with studying disguise, but later he suffered some kind of setback and became addicted to gambling."

Li Xi nodded and didn't say anything more.

The scenery you see on horseback and in a horse-drawn carriage is quite different.

The feeling of riding on horseback is a kind of freedom, like dancing with the wind.

The earth beneath the horse's hooves undulates like your heartbeat.

You can fully feel the wind blowing across your cheeks and watch the white clouds dance in the blue sky. The grasslands, mountains, rivers, and forests all flow past you, as if the whole world is at your feet.

Feng Monian looked at Li Xi, captivated by her confident and carefree demeanor.

Although she always appeared dressed as a man, he never considered her a man in his heart.

Every move she made was full of unique charm, making it impossible for him to look away.

Li Xi's carefree confidence is not only reflected in her appearance, but also in the depths of her heart. No matter what difficulties she faces, she can always confront them with an optimistic attitude and solve problems calmly and methodically.

This composure and confidence deeply attracted Feng Monian. He admired Li Xi's independence and resilience, and was also amazed by her unique charm.

Being with Li Xi, Feng Monian felt an unprecedented peace and contentment. He knew this feeling was so precious, and he wanted to stay by her side forever, spending the rest of his life with her.

Li Xi let her thoughts wander, completely immersed in the freedom brought by the wind.

She felt the wind blowing, letting it carry away all the constraints and pressures, leaving only pure joy and freedom.

With their own thoughts, the two arrived at the gate of Mu City in less than an hour.

The city walls were tall and thick, and the city gate towers soared into the clouds, appearing solemn and majestic. As the two entered the city gate, they saw shops lining both sides of the street, bustling with people, a scene of prosperity.

We arrived at the branch store half an hour after entering the city.

The renovation team that Feng Monian found was indeed professional and had a discerning eye.

The overall framework is very grand, and Li Xi was amazed by the mortise and tenon technique used by the ancients.

The contractor was very excited to see Li Xi and his group; they were important guests and he couldn't afford to be negligent.

"Young master, you've finally arrived. Take a look and see if this outfit suits you." The contractor said with a fawning expression.

"Okay, sure. Is Engineer Lu here? I need to talk to him." Li Xi figured there weren't any major problems, so she thought she'd talk to the person in charge about her new ideas.

Feng Monian always followed Li Xi naturally; it was her specialty, and he enjoyed watching her focused expression.

Li Xi saw Engineer Lu directing the workers on the second floor and waited for him to finish before talking to him.

"Mr. Lu, I have some new ideas. I wonder if you have time to talk about them?"

Lu Gong's real name is Lu Huai. He is in his forties, has a kind and honest appearance, and doesn't talk much. However, when it comes to his profession, he can talk fluently and can chat with people for a long time without taking a breath.

He used to work in the Ministry of Works, but left for some unknown reason. He then formed his own team and traveled around building and decorating houses for people.

Li Xi greatly admired this craftsmanship, which is why she respected Lu Huai.

"Oh? Young Master Li has a new idea again?" Engineer Lu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Li Xi took out several blueprints and handed them to him. She incorporated some of Mu City's unique characteristics to give them a more local flavor.

It was already dark when we returned to the villa.

There was a natural hot spring pool in the villa, and Li Xi was flattered by such a thoughtful arrangement.

He quickly refused, saying, "Brother Feng, I'm a grown man, I don't need to live such a meticulous life. A simple rinse is fine."

She was just not used to taking a bath in an unfamiliar environment; after all, she was a woman, and it wasn't very convenient.

Feng Molin smiled and shook his head, his attitude firm, "Men also need to be cared for. This kind of hot spring bath will benefit your internal strength."

Since that was the case, it was difficult to refuse. Li Xi had no choice but to let Feng Molin make the arrangements.

As soon as I stepped into the hot spring pool, I felt a comforting warm current enveloping me.

The pool water was warm and comfortable, and it also had a faint medicinal fragrance. Meng Zhelan had prepared medicinal baths for her before, but the effects were different.

The hot spring was indeed very effective, sweeping away Li Xi's fatigue and making her lower abdomen feel warm.

The pool water was warm and tranquil, seemingly possessing the power to heal everything.

These rich and powerful people really know how to enjoy life. Although Li Xi also has a lot of money, compared to such a well-established family, he is just a frog in a well.

The class distinctions between people are like an insurmountable chasm, standing in people's hearts.

In this world, some people are born with endless wealth and power, while others are destined to live a life of poverty and helplessness.

This class division not only determines people's social status, but also profoundly influences their thoughts and behaviors.

If she truly possesses the secret the Red Lotus Sect is searching for, then her current situation is very dangerous, and it might even implicate her family at Tingfeng Courtyard.

Li Xi felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of this.

She knew all too well that the Red Lotus Sect was powerful and ruthless, and certainly not someone to be trifled with. Since Zhao Kuang had managed to find her, did that mean they had discovered her true identity, which might implicate the people of Tingfeng Academy?

Perhaps I should change my identity...

Whether it was the comfort of the hot spring bath or she was simply tired, she fell into a deep sleep by the pool.

The pool water rippled gently beneath her, like a lullaby soothing her weary soul.

Her breathing gradually became steady, and the weariness on her face transformed into tranquility. Her dream was warm and peaceful. In her dream, she saw herself as a child.

At that time, her parents were still married. She was innocent and radiant with a bright smile.

When they went back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year, she and her friends ran and played in the fields, their laughter echoing in the air.

The sunlight bathed her, warm and comforting, as if it could dispel all gloom. Suddenly, a mesmerizing sea of ​​flowers appeared before her eyes.
