Swallow Li was seen clapping his hands, walking slowly out of the alleyway.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou imdiately went to greet him.
"Master, why did you rush in without giving a heads-up? I didn't even have ti to react!"
Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Swallow Li said with a smile, "By the ti you reacted, it would've been too late!"
"I've taken care of things over there, so there won't be any more problems. You can go back and rest easy," he continued. "Rember, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to trouble you!"
After saying that, Swallow Li didn't wait for Liu Ergou's response, simply turning and getting back into the van.
Liu Ergou stood rooted to the spot for several minutes before he finally snapped out of it and scrambled back into the driver's seat.
Looking at Swallow Li sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Ergou asked, "Master, who was that person causing trouble for ? You have to tell . I can't just be left completely in the dark about everything! What if that person cos back for revenge later? I'd be dead at!"
However, Swallow Li just waved his hand dismissively, a look of unconcern on his face.
"You can relax. He won't bother you again. I guarantee it," Swallow Li said with absolute conviction. "If he dares to co back and trouble you, then I'll start calling you Master. How about that?"
Although Swallow Li had given such a guarantee, Liu Ergou didn't relax at all. In fact, he beca even more tense. The reason for his nervousness was simple: it was because of Swallow Li himself.
Why won't Swallow Li tell about that Ancient Martial Artist? Why is he hiding it? Whenever I ask, he just brushes it off, saying everything is fine.
Thinking this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but frown deeply.
Swallow Li, sitting beside him, noticed his strange mood and understood what he was thinking. He patted Liu Ergou's shoulder and explained, "Er Gou, I'm your master. I have no reason to lie to you. What I'm telling you is the truth. That person really won't bother you again."
"As for his identity, it's not convenient to tell you right now. At least, it's not sothing you should know yet. Just put your mind at ease. The matter is truly resolved."
Liu Ergou wanted to say more, but when he turned his head, he saw the look of complete sincerity in Swallow Li's eyes. After a mont of hesitation, Liu Ergou chose to trust him.
"Sigh, alright, Master," he conceded. "I'll trust you this ti."
With that, Liu Ergou said no more, starting the van and driving back to the village.
Once they arrived, Swallow Li naturally returned to his own courtyard to resu his routine of sunbathing and drinking tea. Liu Ergou, on the other hand, went ho and flung himself onto the sofa, letting out a long sigh.
Seeing this, his five won imdiately surrounded him with worried expressions.
Mi Xiaoying asked, "Er Gou, what's wrong? You look like sothing's bothering you. Did you run into trouble? Tell about it!"
Lu Shuangyue also chid in, "Is it sothing to do with the Ancient Martial Sects, Er Gou?"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but sigh again.
This is so frustrating. I originally thought that stepping into the world of the Ancient Martial Sects would help unravel so mysteries. But now that I have, there are only more of them. Especially when it cos to Swallow Li, the man who took in as his disciple.
But as vexing as it was, Liu Ergou kept these thoughts to himself, burying them in his heart. After all, these are things I should be worried about, not them.
With this thought, Liu Ergou reached out and embraced the five won beside him, his arms instantly full of their fragrant beauty. This reignited the desire within Liu Ergou that had only just been quelled.
However, he didn't act rashly this ti. He first stood up to draw the curtains, then locked the front door. After that, he switched off his phone.
Only after doing all this did Liu Ergou let out a long sigh of relief and pounce on his five won.
Ti flew, and soon it was evening.
Despite the day's events, Liu Ergou didn't feel the slightest bit tired. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. The desire that had been building up for half a month had finally been completely and thoroughly released.
anwhile, Mi Xiaoying and the others were sprawled across the bed, looking utterly exhausted.
Seeing them, Liu Ergou smiled and decided to prepare dinner. However, a search of the kitchen revealed that there were hardly any ingredients left. After a mont's thought, he decided to just drive into town and buy so takeout. He had a car, and if he drove fast, he could be back in about an hour. By then, the five of them would have rested enough.
Having made up his mind, Liu Ergou went out to the yard, got in his car, and headed straight for town.
「At the sa ti.」
Over at Swallow Li's place, he was having dinner with Ning Hua.
As they ate, Ning Hua suddenly asked, "Master, Liu Ergou ca to find you today. Was there a problem?"
Swallow Li didn't hide it, answering directly, "Yes, he ran into an Ancient Martial Artist who was giving him trouble, so I went over with him."
This piqued Ning Hua's interest. "Oh? An Ancient Martial Artist was giving Liu Ergou trouble? Was it Lang Yu?"
Swallow Li shook his head. "This had nothing to do with Lang Yu. It was soone else. But don't ask who, you're not supposed to know yet. If you're really that curious, you'll find out in a couple of days. But I can tell you this much: the trouble was more of a prank. It wasn't a real threat to Liu Ergou or anything like that."
Hearing this, Ning Hua nodded thoughtfully.
「An hour later.」
Liu Ergou returned to the village from town, his arms laden with bags big and small. Just as he had predicted, his five won had mostly recovered during the hour he was gone.
The six of them then sat down together and enjoyed a lively dinner.
After dinner, it was naturally ti to rest. And this, of course, was Liu Ergou's favorite ti of all. Despite the afternoon's exertions, there wasn't a trace of fatigue on his face. Instead, he looked vibrant and full of energy.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
All through the night, waves of boisterous sounds echoed from Liu Ergou's room. The noise seed endless, only subsiding in the early hours of the morning.
