Chapter 198 Getting ready to go home
Shen Li, Nangong Qi, Shen Yu and Su Ran walked along the winding road, stopping and starting along the way, asking everyone they met for any clues about "Cangyue Pavilion".
As the exploration deepened, the mystery behind "Cangyue Pavilion" was slowly revealed.
It turned out that the "Cangyue Pavilion" had accepted an astonishingly large amount of silver bills and was hired by a mysterious force to search for a long-lost treasure.
The leader's style of doing things was extremely eccentric and unique. He completely ignored the undercurrents in the martial arts world and searched everywhere in the martial arts world for the whereabouts of the treasure in a big way. For a time, all parties were in a panic, just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing layers of waves.
After knowing the truth, Nangong Qi's face was instantly filled with disappointment, and his eyes, which had been shining with expectation, dimmed.
He sighed helplessly, his tone filled with frustration as he said, "I thought this was some earth-shattering conspiracy, a conspiracy that would overturn the martial arts world. Who could have predicted this? It's truly boring and a complete waste of energy."
After hearing what he said, Shen Li's face puffed up with anger, like an enraged pufferfish.
She glared at Nangong Qi fiercely and said angrily, "I already have many complicated matters waiting for me to deal with at home, but you insist on dragging me to explore this secret!
When it comes down to it, everything in this world comes down to nothing more than money and power. There is no other profound explanation!
As ordinary people, being able to eat enough every day and live a down-to-earth life is the greatest blessing in life! Why bother with the right and wrong of the world? "
Nangong Qi was not convinced after hearing her words. He raised his chin slightly, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes, and retorted: "If you really just want to be an ordinary person, how could the emperor confer the title of county lady?
You're still worrying about the grain, and even such miraculous things as rainfall and movable type printing are related to you! How dare you say that you are no different from ordinary people? "
Shen Li couldn't help but frowned when she heard this. She looked at Nangong Qi as if she was looking at a stubborn goose, her eyes full of doubt and confusion. She asked, "How does this conflict with my desire for a stable life? Besides, everything I do is good for the country and the people. It is natural for the emperor to reward me! As for rainfall, movable type printing, and grain seeds, I only benefited from my master's teachings. Do these prevent me from working hard to farm and live a good life? Humph!"
Su Ran walked quietly by the side, listening to their conversation silently.
He felt more and more that Shen Li's thoughts were completely different from those of ordinary women.
In this world, most women learn needlework from a young age, and study music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, hoping that they can marry a good husband in the future, and spend the rest of their lives taking care of their husband and raising children.
But Shen Li is not like this at all. Her heart is all about people's livelihood, and she pays attention to all the big and small things concerning her family and country.
Su Ran couldn't help but wonder inwardly, could this really be the unique appearance that only disciples taught by gods would have?
However, because of this, he had more doubts and speculations about Shen Li, and the mystery in his heart seemed to snowball.
Shen Yu also listened to their conversation silently. After Shen Li finished speaking, he asked cautiously, "Miss, where are we going now?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li was immediately furious. She looked at Shen Yu as if he were looking at a goose. She said angrily, "Where else can we go? We've been out for more than ten days! Of course we should go home! I'm worried about the ancestral hall at home that hasn't been built yet. I don't know how the school is progressing now. And the three-story building on Fuxi Street is probably covered in a thick layer of dust. If we don't go back soon, things at home will be a mess!"
As Shen Li spoke, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, as if all the things at home had already appeared vividly before her eyes, and were waiting for her to go back and deal with them impatiently.
Shen Yu chased after her blankly, muttering, "Whatever the lady says is what it is."
When Nangong Qi heard that they were going home, he was still reluctant to give up exploring deeper secrets so easily, but seeing Shen Li's determined look, he had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He knew very well that once Shen Li made a decision, it would be set in stone and difficult to change.
Su Ran was thinking about something on the side. He was curious about what Shen Li would do after returning home, and he was secretly thinking about how to continue to explore the secrets hidden in Shen Li.
The experiences along the way made him feel more and more that Shen Li was like a hidden and wonderful book. Every time he turned a page, new mysteries came like a tide, waiting for him to solve them one by one.
