"Hey, have you heard that the stupid son of Guang Mansion is going to marry the youngest daughter of the Ye family..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you said this fool is too lucky..."
"Not only did I recognize a rich and powerful father like Guangshu, I changed my surname and became a son of a wealthy family, but now I will also get my lovely wife."
"The little daughter of the Ye family is so loved that her father would pick out the stars in the sky on weekdays. I didn't know that this time..."
"Oh, who knows... In this Jialing City, who dares to offend the Guang Mansion... Guang Shu is the local emperor here..."
"Keep your voice down, the idiot is here..."
The people discussing on the street gradually dispersed. Guang Nian passed by, his expression unchanged, and he continued walking towards Ye Mansion.
"Hey, this fool is going to see my father-in-law..."
Another voice sounded from the crowd. Guang Nian glanced over and immediately disappeared again.
He hasn't fallen asleep since he woke up last night, Guang Nian?
Did you actually change your last name again?
I don’t know if Fenhunjing did it on purpose or unintentionally...
Guang Nian, no, it should be Li Nian.
He regained consciousness after waking up last night and even remembered his true identity.
After planning all night, we can only leave here if we find the person holding Fenhun Mirror.
He tried hard to remember, and then he remembered the figures in the place before the white light appeared. Those two people should be Yu Greedy Mao and Ye Xiasang from the Ye family in Erxue City.
Not knowing Yu Wan's whereabouts and identity for the time being, he could only go to Ye Xia Sang first to see if he could get a breakthrough from her.
So he cleaned himself up early in the morning, took the boy Shitou beside him, and walked all the way there.
One is to better understand this mirror world. After all, the memories in the mind cannot be real...
Secondly, I also wanted to see if I could meet Yu Wan...
It seems that his luck is not particularly good...
"Master, the pastries at Shijinji's on Zhuque Street are very good. Now is the time when they are freshly baked. Do you want to bring some with you when you go to Ye Mansion... Otherwise, it will be a bit uncomfortable to be empty-handed..."
Shitou looked at the young master who was quite different today and reminded him carefully.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Let's go... let's buy some before heading to Ye Mansion."
Li Nian opened the fan and shook it to himself. As he walked forward, he said to the stone behind him.
"Yes, Master."
Shitou heard that the young master was normal again today, and thought that the Taoist priest was really powerful. After just one night, his young master had recovered.
The eminent monks we invited in the past never took such a short time...
Shitou thought happily and followed to Zhuque Street.
At this time, the shops on Zhuque Street also opened their doors one after another.
Yu Mei opened the shop first and cleaned up.
In the past, Yu Wan would come over later, and she would go to the market in the north to buy vegetables before going to the store.
Li Nian came out without much effort. The stone behind him was holding many gift boxes, obviously intended for the Ye family.
He walked slowly across the street and turned right to Ye Mansion in the East District.
Not long after leaving, Yu Wan and Mo Yiming came in from the north side of the street carrying large and small bags and went to Dawan Restaurant.
The two just missed it.
Ye Mansion, front hall.
"Sir, Mr. Guangfu is here, and his servant is carrying various pastries from Shijinji."
The housekeeper hurried in and reported to Ye Zhuo.
Ye Zhuo put down the tea bowl and said in a deep voice, "Let him come in."
"yes."
The housekeeper replied and ran to the door again to welcome Li Nian in.
After entering the house, Li Nian put away his fan, put his hands behind his back, and slowly followed the housekeeper into the hall.
"My nephew Guang Nian pays homage to Uncle Ye."
"I wonder why my good nephew came to the house, and he brought so many snacks."
Li Nian didn't care about Ye Zhuo's dark face. After bowing, he sat directly at the starting position.
He tapped the small table beside him with his fan and motioned for the butler to pour tea.
"It's nothing. I just thought that I grew up with Sister Xia Sang and haven't seen each other for many days. I came to visit today and ask Sister Xia Sang for some advice..."
Seeing Guang Nian being so rude, the housekeeper looked at Ye Zhuo.
But when Ye Zhuo nodded, he had no choice but to run and get a cup of tea.
"Master Guang, please use it."
Li Nian nodded, picked up the tea bowl on the side of his hand, held it with his left hand, and kept fidgeting with the tea lid with his right hand without drinking.
The bowls collided with each other and made a clanking sound.
"My good nephew should be aware of the rumors in the city that started yesterday. Normally I can agree with it, but now I'm afraid it's inappropriate to avoid misunderstanding by others..."
Ye Zhuo felt irritated when he heard the jingle, but he could only endure it. He refused Guang Nian's request.
"Since Uncle Ye knows the rumors in the city, he must also know that I came from Zhuque Street..."
Li Nian was neither angry nor anxious. He continued to play with the tea bowl and said.
"And since uncle knows that we will get married soon, there is no need to worry about avoiding suspicion..."
"you……"
Before Ye Zhuo could speak, Li Nian continued.
"Uncle, don't worry. My nephew is only here for personal matters today. In a few days, my father will invite matchmakers in the city to come and hire people. There will be no shortage of people from the Ye family."
"These are some of my thoughts for my uncle and aunt, please accept them."
"Sister Xia Sang is still at Wanfeng Pavilion, my nephew will go over first."
After Li Nian finished speaking, he put down the tea cup, handed over to Ye Zhuo again, and left directly towards the backyard.
Shitou quickly handed the things in his hands to the butler and ran after him.
"Master, don't be angry... Mr. Guang is no longer rude every day... Please drink tea first and take it easy."
Seeing that Ye Zhuo was about to faint from anger, the housekeeper quickly put the things on the chair where Guang Nian was sitting, went over to pick up the tea bowl, and handed it to Ye Zhuo's mouth...
Following a familiar route, Li Nian soon arrived outside Wanfeng Pavilion. Seeing that the door was not open, he shouted loudly inside.
"Sister Xia Sang, I'm here to see you, please open the door for me..."
This behavior was quite consistent with Guang Nian's past style, and no one found it strange. After a while, the door opened.
"Master Guang, please come this way."
A maid in light green led Guang Nian to the hall.
The hall here is noticeably more elegant.
Li Nian looked at Ye Xia Sang, who was sitting at the top, and sat directly in front of her on the right side closest to her.
"Guang Nian, what are you doing here..."
"I'm telling you, put your little thoughts away, I won't marry you."
Hearing these roars from Ye Xia Sang, Li Nian was very sure that she had no memory of her true identity.
He was sensing carefully along the way and did not find Fenxunjing's aura.
Looking at it this way, it should lie with Greedy Cat.
He didn't care what Ye Xia Sang said and asked her straight to the point.
"Do you know a woman named Yu Wan?"
Li Nian paused, thinking about Yu Wan's features, and after a moment, added, "She has silver hair."
When Ye Xia Sang heard him mentioning her good sisters, her heart tightened, fearing that he had some bad intentions.
But after hearing his addition, the worries in my heart completely disappeared...
My Wanwan family has black and shiny hair, what a pervert...
She was about to chant a few words, when the maid from the kitchen came over.
"Miss, do you want to eat the beef ramen that Miss Yu brought last night for lunch today?"
When Li Nian heard this question, he couldn't help but feel that he was very lucky, so he asked the maid directly.
"Who is Miss Yu you are talking about?"
The maid looked at Guang Nian and then at her young lady, knowing that she could not afford to offend Guang Nian more than the young lady, so she immediately knelt down, put her forehead to the ground, and said.
"Miss, forgive me. Miss Yu...she is the cook at Dawan Restaurant. She came to deliver fresh food to my lady last night..."
"Where is the Big Bowl Restaurant?"
Li Nian continued to ask.
"Master, it's on Zhuque Street, diagonally opposite Shijinji."
Before the maid could speak, Shitou standing behind him spoke.
"So close? Then I'm really unlucky..."
As Li Nian spoke, he was about to stand up. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke to the stone behind him.
"Now go to Dawan Restaurant and ask Chef Yu to help me make a table of noodles. Remember to invite her to my courtyard in the mansion and don't let my father see her..."
"By the way, if anyone else or my father asks, just say that this is the cook recommended to me by sister Xia Sang. I can't live up to her kindness."
After Li Nian finished speaking, he looked up at Ye Xia Sang with a smile, and patted the palm of his left hand with his right hand fan, with a rather playful expression.
"Master, what kind of dishes would you like?"
Shitou confirmed to Guang Nian.
"If you want it to stink, the stinkier the better..."
"this……"
"Go quickly!"
"yes."
Shitou frowned and agreed. Although he felt strange, he still took the words and took Yu Wan directly to Xiaoshiyuan.
Shitou was quite clever. After entering the house through the back door, he followed the path all the way to Guang Nian's courtyard without meeting anyone at all.
When he went out from the gate again and met the butler who was serving Guangshu, he accidentally mentioned it and then went to pick up his young master.
Yu Wan, who was still preparing today's food order in Dawan Restaurant, heard Shi Shi's request. His expression didn't change, so he comforted Yu Mei and told her to go back and rest.
Then, she looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, called Shitou to come in and help hold some of them, then left a note for Mo Yiming, closed the shop and left.
At this time, she was processing ingredients in Xiao Shiyuan's kitchen.
It's quiet here, which is very worry-free.
Yu Wan didn't know why she wasn't worried at all. She only knew that having a knife in her hand was enough.
In the evening, Guangshu wanted to express the deep love between father and son.
As a result, he smelled an indescribable and strange odor only halfway through. He continued to take a few steps forward. It was unbearable, and the housekeeper behind him made excuses for him to leave.
Li Nian didn't seem to smell anything. He took the stone directly into the courtyard.
Seeing Shitou clenching his nose and holding his breath, Li Nian asked him to go out and come back later.
Shitou resisted twice, but when his young master insisted, he left at a very fast speed.
At this time, there were only two people in Xiaoshiyuan, Li Nian and Yu Wan.
It could even be said that they were the only two people in the entire east courtyard... everyone else was so smoked that they ran to the front yard.
After looking at the banquet table in the room, Li Nian went directly to the kitchen without stopping.
"Miss Yu, I wonder if I can go to the front hall with you and explain each dish to me."
Li Nian graciously invited Yu Wan.
Yu Wan had no reason to refuse. On the contrary, she couldn't help but be curious when she saw that Guang Nian could not change his expression in front of such a smell.
This is really different from the rumors in the market.
So she nodded and followed Guang Nian to the front hall.
"Miss Yu, please sit down."
Li Nian first invited Yu Wan to sit down, and then he also sat on Yu Wan's left side.
"Master Guang, this is stir-fried bacon with sour bamboo shoots, and this is stir-fried folded ear root... Finally, in the big pot in the middle, there is a shriveled beef pot..."
"Everything here is in accordance with Master Guang's requirements."
Yu Wan introduced the dishes on the table one by one, and Li Nian nodded every time she introduced one.
At this time, after Yu Wan finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Yu really has good hands and wisdom, and she can cook such delicious food at her fingertips."
"you flatter me."
In response to Guang Nian's appreciation, Yu Wan just nodded and replied calmly.
Li Nian on the side was about to take the chopsticks, but he changed his direction in an instant and grabbed Yu Wan's wrist.
"Master Guang, what are you..."
Yu Wan struggled to ask.
Li Nian ignored him at all, he held on tightly, pointed the sword finger of his left hand at Wan's forehead, and muttered something.
"In the world of chaos, desires and delusions abound...the heart is like a clear mirror, and the body is transformed into Bodhi...the mind is unified, wake up quickly..."
After he finished chanting, a little white spiritual light emerged from his fingertips and entered Wan's forehead.
Yu Wan was so stung by the white light that she closed her eyes and held her head in her hands.
After a while, she recovered from the severe headache. Her eyes were radiant and her spirit was bright.
"Yu Greedy Cat...Long time no see, you have become a cook...but if you look closely, you still have beautiful silver-white hair..."
Li Nian saw Yu Wan coming over slowly and started teasing him.
Yu Wan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Li Nian.
More than two years have passed, and Li Nian has grown from a child to a teenager. At this moment, his voice is a little hoarse, and he must be about to change his voice.
"Tiedan, you have changed a lot... I think back then you were still a little kid who could sneak peeks..."
Not to be outdone, Yu Wan stabbed him.
When Li Nian heard the familiar name, he laughed absentmindedly, and then his face was full of bitterness.
"I'm not called Tiedan now... If you want to call me Li Nian... in this mirror, you'll call me Guang Nian..."
Seeing his bitter maturity that was inconsistent with his current age, I guessed that he must have suffered a lot like the Empress of Jiutian Pavilion.
Then she heard the word "Fen Yu Jing" again. She frowned and thought, then slowly spoke after a moment.
"Is that the stone mirror? Are we in that stone mirror?"
Seeing that Yu Wan reacted quickly, Li Nian couldn't help but feel very happy and appreciative.
This girl is still as smart as ever.
Thinking of the questions she had asked him when she was 4 years old, Li Nian shook his head, temporarily suppressed the memories in his heart, and began to explain to Yu Wan.
"That stone mirror is the mirror of diversity. There is a saying in Buddhism that one flower and one world, one leaf and one bodhi..."
"This mirror contains thousands of worlds. Once you are sucked into the mirror, you can only wake up and leave if you can overcome the situation..."
"Then you and I..."
"Don't worry, it's still the same as before. If you don't get the answer, you will cry anxiously..."
Li Nian interrupted Yu Wan and made a joke.
Yu Wan gave him a blank look.
"I... I swallowed the weapon spirit of this Fenhuan Mirror by chance, which is equivalent to directly imprinting my divine consciousness on this fairy treasure. It is already mine."
Li Nian said, looking straight at Yu Wan, and then gestured with his eyes to the stone mirror she had just taken out.
"Here it is for you, who cares..."
Yu Wan threw it directly.
Li Nian caught it and told Yu Wan with a smile.
"Don't worry, if we want to get out, we have to kill someone. No, it should be said to be a demon."
Yu Wan motioned him to continue with her eyes.
"It's Guangshu..."
"After I swallowed the weapon spirit, I was always affected by its remnant thoughts at first and fell into madness... I just completed the fusion of memories last night and regained my self-awareness..."
"There is an ancient immortal's cave in that lava channel. When he was slaying demons in ancient times, he died together with a group of dark demons. He used his blunt sword of annihilation to destroy the demon..."
"It's a pity that the black devil is not easy to mess with. Part of his escaped spiritual consciousness ran into the mirror, not only driving away the weapon spirit, but also absorbing part of its ability..."
"So in this mirror world, not only can I control it, but he can also... He can even control it more than me."
"Could it be that Guangshu is the incarnation of the devil?" Yu Wan listened all the way and expressed his guess.
Li Nian shook his head, motioned her not to worry, and continued speaking.
"My guess is that the senior immortal was not completely eliminated, which allowed other people who entered by mistake to unintentionally break the seal, and also allowed the devil to come in with us..."
"Otherwise, in this world, he is just a trace of consciousness and can be easily eliminated by me."
"other people……"
Yu Wan muttered softly, searching for suspicious characters in his mind.
Apart from Xia Sang who was with her, could it be that Mo Yiming was also from the world of cultivation...
"For our current plan, we must kill the devil first... otherwise, once he finds out that we are awake, he will definitely kill us."
"How to do it?" Yu Wan asked.
"I need your cooperation, the empty flames on your body..."
Yu Wan's eyes were full of doubts. She looked straight at Li Nian, "Kong Yan?"
Li Nian nodded and continued to explain.
"Originally before the death of the senior immortal, he wrapped the Fenyu Mirror with his own strange fire and empty flames, and wanted to send it out... but it was destroyed by the black devil."
"Kongyan's spirituality has been greatly reduced because of this, and only a small wisp is left behind the mirror..."
"That day after you chopped down the stone wall around Fenhun Mirror, the mirror fell down, and Kong Yan flew directly into your arms with it..."
As he said this, Li Nian couldn't help but rolled his eyes, his tone full of sourness.
"This empty flame is a rare strange fire in the fairy world, ranking second on the list of strange fires... You are really lucky..."
Not to be outdone, Yu Wan gave him an even bigger look, "Don't be so upset. You're so good after getting the fairy treasure. Think about how to kill that black devil..."
Li Nian ignored Yu Wan's complaints. His expression changed and he looked at her teasingly.
"Of course there is a way."
When Yu Wan heard what he said, he listened attentively.
"Marry me... On the day of the wedding, you can directly drive the white flame into Guang Shu's body... That demon is so weak now that a little empty flame can burn him to death..."
"You can wake others up later and leave..."
"How to control Kongyan, I can't even feel its existence." Yu Wan pointed out the key point.
Li Nian couldn't help but feel a little bored when he saw that she didn't react at all when he heard about getting married. He curled his lips and spoke again.
"So you're in luck... The weapon spirit I swallowed happens to contain the induction refining method... Come here."
Yu Wan leaned over and listened to Li Nian's induction and refining formula.
After a while, Li Nian leaned back and said, "Do you remember everything?"
Yu Wan nodded and said, "I'm going back first. I remember to finish eating..."
After speaking, without waiting for Li Nian's reply, he left directly through the back door.
Li Nian said shameless villain and watched her leave the yard.
Then he turned and frowned at the table of picas.
Gululu~
"Alas~"
What else can you do, just eat...
Li Nian sighed, picked up the chopsticks and swallowed the sour bamboo shoots and bacon with bated breath.
Um? !
As he chewed, he felt very pleasantly surprised, and his frown relaxed...
He picked up the rice bowl, holding it with chopsticks one after another, and ate very happily.
Yu Wan returned to the small courtyard, comforted his brother who was still waiting for him in the courtyard, and then went back to the house to meditate.
It has entered autumn, the night is getting deeper, and the coldness in the air is getting stronger, but it does not affect the warmth of people's hearts in the house illuminated by candlelight.
Mo Yiming felt that his sister seemed to have changed. He took out the blunt sword again and stared at it under the dim candlelight.
Gu Changfeng has also felt that something is not right with him recently. He obviously likes Mingyue very much, but why does he always feel empty every time he faces her recently...
Ye Xia Sang didn't sleep either. She didn't want to marry Guang Nian. She already had someone she liked, but she didn't know what that person was thinking...
Wu Yue, who heard about the wedding of Guangye's family outside, was also extremely irritable at this time. He paced back and forth in the house and could not fall asleep.
Hour after hour passed like this, and it was darkest outside the window, and dawn was about to break through...
As if he had made a decision, he took out his silver-grey and red-tasseled spear, opened the door and walked directly into the night.
