Chapter 112 Young Man, Please Stay (28)
"Okay, I'll go get the horse."
Gu Yuxi got on the horse, smiled at the person in the corner, tightened the reins and started to leave.
Only then did Li Xiaoming stick his head out. If his second uncle found out that he had climbed into Xier's bed late at night, his image would be ruined completely.
Walking on the street, Li Xiaoming was planning to go to a jewelry store to order some gold and silver jewelry, but he felt someone was following him.
When they reached a remote alley, Li Xiaoming said to the person behind him, "Come out, even street rats are not as arrogant as you."
"Young Master Li."
He turned around and saw Shi Tao and Zhao Tianyu standing on the side. He said, "Why? You two are used to being followers, so continue to follow."
"Young Master Li, we apologize for disturbing you, but this matter is of great importance. Please tell me where Miss Gu is now."
"I won't tell you. Xi'er is so busy. It would be so bad for you to disturb her."
Zhao Tianyu: "Young Master Li, we are also in the same boat..."
"I don't know you. Don't disturb Xier, or I will..."
"Li Xiaoming!"
"Who?"
"Brother Zhao!"
Li Xiaoming saw his elder brother-in-law coming over, and this guy actually knew his elder brother-in-law.
In the end, Li Xiaoming could only sit back and watch them chatting. He didn't expect that Zhao Tianyu was the brother of that Zhao Weiling. He didn't look very well.
"We were indeed not thoughtful enough about this marriage, and I apologize for offending you, Uncle Li. Please don't blame me."
When he arrived at the Li Mansion, Li Xiaoming played dumb. He didn't see the Zhao family at first, but he didn't expect that he would meet his enemies in a narrow road.
"Hahaha! Who can tell for sure about this young man? Xiao Ming is already eighteen years old, he should have someone who knows his well-being..."
"Dad! I already have someone I like."
"Go away. I'm not asking you to marry me. The girl doesn't like you, a fool."
Li Xiaoming said to his father, "Father, I am in love with Gu Yuxi, the daughter of the Wuji Sect leader. I plan to marry her. Please help me."
The others looked towards Li Xiaoming. The sun was rising from the west. How could such a vicious-mouthed man get a wife?
Father Li thought for a moment and asked, "Ahem, are you serious?"
"Really? Young Master Zhao and Young Master Shi were witnesses. Xi'er accepted my flowers last night."
Zhao Tianyu felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart. Li Xiaoming was just a guard? He even looked down on his sister. What qualifications did he have to marry the lovely Gu Yuxi?
"Really? Nephew Zhao, have you ever spent time with my son?"
"Uncle Li, Brother Li is indeed close to a girl, but that was because he served as Miss Gu's bodyguard to repay her kindness. It seems inappropriate to ask for her hand in marriage..."
"What does my marrying Xi'er have to do with you? That's the interest between Xi'er and me. Who would like a peacock like you who is so showy?"
"Xiao Ming!"
"Brother-in-law, I didn't say anything wrong. He is your good brother, and I am still your brother-in-law."
Shi Tao spoke the truth: "Young Master Li and Miss Gu are indeed a perfect match. Miss Gu is well-educated and well-mannered, and is an expert in medicine and poisons. Young Master Li is loyal and courageous. I thought they were already engaged."
Li Xiaoming: "Bing Shitou, you are telling the truth."
Zhao Tianyu looked at Shi Tao in disbelief and said, "Brother Shi, this young man Li is excellent, but he is not worthy of Miss Gu..."
Li Xiaoming: "I am not worthy of her, but how can you, a peacock, be worthy of her? I am serious about marrying Xi'er. Why don't you tell Bing Shitou and Miss Du? Do you have any improper thoughts about Xi'er?"
"Don't go too far. This will tarnish Miss Gu's innocence..."
"I haven't met your sister. She ran away from this marriage herself. Don't accuse me of being a grown man and not doing anything.
Besides, Xier accepted my flowers at the Flower Festival yesterday. According to our customs, she recognized me."
"you!"
When other people looked over, they could only say that there was a story between these people, so Li's father and others quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Nephew Zhao, this is how my son speaks. Don't blame me."
"Father, I am going to Wuji Sect to propose marriage. Xier will be 15 years old in half a month, and I plan to marry her in half a month."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Mother Li choked on her tea. That was the Wuji sect. That place was not the small sect it used to be. All the disciples of the Wuji sect were top-notch masters in the martial arts world. They just kept a low profile.
What is well known to all the major sects is the Wuji Sect’s ability to make money. They have opened so many shops that my son is kidding them.
Li Xiaoming winked at Shi Tao, and he looked at Zhao Tianyu. Could it be that this brother was also interested in Gu Yuxi?
Facing his friends and the family of the Abandoned Curse Sect, he could only tell the truth: "Young Master Li and Miss Gu are a match made in heaven. What I said is the truth."
Mother Li smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. We didn't know that Xiaoming already had someone he liked. If you hadn't told us today, we wouldn't have known."
After that, Zhao Tianyu felt uninterested. Knowing where Gu Yuxi came from, he didn’t feel that his identity as the young master of Zhao’s Villa was any different from Li Xiaoming’s.
Three days later, Wuji Sect.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, we are back."
The busy people looked at the dusty brother and sister, quickly put down their work and walked over.
"Junior sister, junior brother, you are finally back."
"Big sister, you will be married in three days, so I will definitely come back."
"Go inside and tell them that you are tired from the journey. Take a rest first. The meal will be ready soon."
Ten days later...
"Master, there are guests outside."
"But did you say who it was?"
"The High Priest of Dali and his family..."
Gu Wuji: "Meet in the hall, prepare tea."
Because Gu Yuxi knew the way to enter and exit the Desert Ship, in the past half month, his Wuji Sect always encountered those dog-skin plasters, and even Du Juexue was gone.
He had never heard of Li Xiaoming, the man his daughter mentioned. He was worried about marrying his daughter to him, and he wouldn't mind raising him for a few more years.
"Master Gu, I have long heard of your great name."
"Master Li, your presence today has brought honor to my humble abode."
After some polite words, Father Li and the others stated their purpose directly: "We are shamelessly coming here today to seek a marriage for our son.
I have long admired your daughter, and I know I am not worthy of her, but this fate is destined by heaven, so I hope you can help me."
Gu's mother and Li's mother hadn't said anything yet, but Li's father started to try to get close to them. In the end, Gu Wuji was arm in arm with Li's father, and they even got along well.
"My dear brother, it's a pity that we met too late."
"Brother Li, you have to stay here for a while longer, otherwise I won't let you go. The scenery in the back mountain of my Wuji Sect is beautiful and pleasant. If you miss it, it will be gone."
The two men in charge just left. The others looked at each other and looked at the dazzling array of betrothal gifts. Only then did Li's mother continue her conversation with Gu's mother.
Mother Gu: "My daughter has been spoiled by us. I'm afraid she is not worthy of you, Master..."
