"Yan'er, I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
Li Mo asked worriedly.
"With my grandpa and aunt protecting me, I have nothing to fear. Don't worry, I am no longer the weak woman I used to be. In the two years since you were gone, I have practiced very hard. Now I am also at the level of a military commander. How can you be so timid even if you are strong?”
Liu Yan replied playfully, and it was obvious that he didn't take what happened just to heart at all, which made Li Mo feel relieved. They still don't know what kind of powerful enemies they will face in the future, so it is crucial to have a good mentality.
"Okay! You two, please stop showing off your affection in front of us. Let's hurry up and get on our way, so as not to encounter these unsightly things again!"
Wan Ling originally didn't want to interrupt the young couple, but she had to do so for safety reasons. This made Li Mo and Liu Yan a little embarrassed.
Whoa…
Li Mo increased the speed of the shuttle boat to the extreme this time, drawing an afterimage in the air and speeding towards the sky!
…
The Imperial City is still very prosperous, with shops lined up in the streets and alleys, and crowds of people flowing. What is different from usual is that there are many powerful martial arts monks among these endless crowds. It seems that they are all here for the martial arts conference in a few days.
At this time, a pair of young men and women holding hands on the street attracted special attention. The man's jade tree faces the wind, and he is charming and suave. The girl has a look that makes her look like a beautiful girl, and she is simply a golden boy and girl made in heaven. The two of them were none other than Li Mo and Liu Yan, who arrived at the imperial city a day ago.
Xuanyuan Wudi and Wanling stayed at the inn because they were old and didn't like the excitement. Li Mo took Liu Yan, who came to the imperial city for the first time, to see this bustling and lively scene.
"Xiaomo, it's so lively here. I don't know how much better than Lord Fanyang!"
As Liu Yan spoke, he pulled Li Mo through the crowd, his eyes constantly scanning towards some stalls selling rouge, gouache and accessories. The love for beauty exists in the world, not to mention the peerless beauty Liu Yan. Naturally, I am very interested in these things that my daughter uses at home.
"Yan'er, the things here are just ordinary things. I have been to the Imperial City and know that there is a shop that sells things that you girls like. And I also heard that many female relatives of dignitaries go there."
Li Mo pulled Liu Yan. He didn't want his woman to suffer any injustice, and he wanted to give her the best in everything.
"Really? Where is that store? Let's go there now!"
Seeing Liu Yan's impatient look, Li Mo smiled slightly.
"follow me!"
After walking along the streets for about half a stick of incense, they finally came to a three-story building. Many girls in extraordinary clothes and elegant women came in and out.
"This is it. Whatever you want is available here!"
"Wow! It's so big in here and the things are so beautiful!"
Entering the lobby on the first floor, Liu Yan was immediately attracted by the exquisite jewelry placed on the surrounding counters.
"Go ahead! Just pick whatever you like."
Seeing Liu Yan's excited look, Li Mo was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"This girl doesn't know what she wants to choose? We use everything here, the first floor is accessories, and the second floor is rouge and gouache. The products in our store are very famous in the entire Xuangu Continent. ! Even the concubines in the palace often visit our shop... "
A very innocent-looking girl followed Liu Yan and kept introducing her to the products in their store.
Li Mo smiled slightly and stood waiting at the gate. After all, the products sold here were for girls. It would be a bit embarrassing for him, a grown man, to wander back and forth inside.
"This hairpin is so beautiful!"
Liu Yan gently picked up a hosta with two exquisite butterflies carved on it and couldn't put it down. The hairpin is all emerald green, and the two dancing butterflies are lifelike. The texture and carving are extraordinary.
"Girl, you have such a good eye. This double-butterfly tassel hairpin is a new product in our store. It is the finest thousand-year-old jade, carefully crafted by master craftsmen. Of course, its price is also..."
The female waiter saw Liu Yan choosing her favorite jewelry and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce it.
"I want this hosta!"
Just when Liu Yan's eyes lingered on the double butterfly tassel hairpin, a rather arrogant voice suddenly came from behind her. Moreover, the hosta was also taken away.
Liu Yan looked back and saw a girl in a blue shirt holding a hosta in her hand and looking at him proudly. Although this girl's appearance is not as good as mine, she can still be called a beauty.
"Girl, I saw this hosta first, please give it back to me!"
At this time, Liu Yan did not get angry, but showed the courtesy that a lady should have and said to the girl.
"Hmph! You didn't pay for it, so why should I pay it back to you? How much does this hosta cost? I want it!"
The girl glanced at Liu Yan, with a trace of jealousy flashing in her eyes. Then he asked the female waiter beside him.
"This... this hosta costs five hundred taels! But... but..."
The female waiter gave a hesitant answer, obviously dissatisfied with the girl's behavior, but she dared not speak out in anger.
"But what? Isn't it just five hundred taels! Take it!"
After saying that, the girl put a five hundred tael silver note directly into the female clerk's hand, turned around and left with the hosta in hand!
"Stop, you girl is so unreasonable. I obviously saw the famous hairpin first, why did you take it away!"
Liu Yan was tolerant enough to avoid causing trouble for Li Mo, but she didn't expect that the girl would be so arrogant and unreasonable. Now she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why? Huh! Just because I'm from the Tiangang Sect in Wuling Prefecture. What? Do you still want to compete with me?"
The girl announced her identity extremely arrogantly, hoping to scare Liu Yan.
"you… "
Liu Yan had never heard of the Tiangang Sect, but recently many sects had sprouted up on the mainland, and this Tiangang Sect must be one of them. I was afraid that this matter would bring unnecessary trouble to Li Mo, so I could only reluctantly part ways with her.
"Hmph! Why, you're afraid! If you know what's going on, get out of my way and don't block my aunt's way!"
At this time, the girl became even more unscrupulous. She dispersed the crowd watching and walked towards the door.
"Stop! Leave the hosta in your hand!"
Li Mo, who was standing at the door, finally couldn't help but take action. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was just a woman, he didn't want to embarrass her. Li Mo had already taught her a lesson.
"Hmph! Who are you to dare to block this girl's way? Don't you know the reputation of my Tiangang Sect?"
Seeing Li Mo blocking her way, the girl repeated her old trick.
"Tiangang Sect? I have never heard of this name. Don't think about threatening me with your sect. Here is a five hundred tael of silver notes. I bought this hosta."
Li Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense with the girl. When he stuffed the banknote into her hand, the hosta in the girl's hand fell out and into Li Mo's hand.
"You...you are so brave, you dare to steal my things! Just wait, don't leave if you can!"
Li Mo showed his hand just now, which really shocked the girl. Knowing that he was no match, he immediately dropped his harsh words and rushed out of the door!
"Yan'er, this hosta can only show its extraordinary power if you wear it on your head!"
Li Mo didn't take the girl's words to heart at all. He walked up to Liu Yan and inserted the hosta into her head with his own hands.
"Xiaomo, have I caused trouble for you?"
Liu Yan was very worried, fearing that the girl would come to trouble them later.
"It doesn't matter! Don't you still believe in my strength? But don't let her ruin our good mood."
After saying that, he took Liu Yan and walked outside.
They happened to see the girl just now running towards them with a young man and several big men!
