Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 197 Ancient Times (51)

After that, the two decided to stay in Dali for a while to get to know the place better. They spent a long time exploring every corner of Dali and collected many rare herbs that were only found here.

However, surprisingly, despite their search, they could not easily encounter Miao people who used the Gu insect technique as the rumors said. Perhaps this technique did exist, but it was not as magical and incredible as the legend said; or perhaps there were so few people who mastered this technique that they could hardly detect its traces.

During this period, Ji Xiao fully demonstrated his love and spirit of research for medicine and, with the help of local unique herbal resources, devoted himself to researching a series of poisons with unique effects and special medicines for treating difficult and complicated diseases. However, these are not absolute and still need to be used according to personal circumstances.

Unfortunately, some of these herbs cannot grow and survive in other areas due to their special growing environment requirements. Therefore, Ji Xiao had to carefully collect some medicinal seeds, implant them into his own portable space, let Yun Duo open up a new piece of land to plant these herbs, and keep records.

But these are not problems, so Ji Xiao suddenly had an idea and thought of asking Li Xiangyi for help.

"Xiang Yi, why don't we arrange for the disciples of the Si Gu Sect to come here and open a branch! In this way, while obtaining medicinal materials, we can also help the local people increase their income."

"Okay. Without further ado, I'll write a letter right away and ask Xu An to arrange for someone to come over."

After that, Li Xiangyi immediately picked up his pen and wrote down everything in his mind. After writing the letter, he quickly sealed the envelope and tied it to Chuyi's feet, asking it to be sent back immediately. At this moment, they were looking forward to the people from Si Gumen coming quickly so that they could explain everything clearly and leave early to explore other places.

The two of them remained in the same place, and did not move to the city. However, after the letter was sent, Li Xiangyi went to the city to buy the land. Now the area within a hundred miles was theirs. He even found people to build the house, and they could start the construction as soon as they arrived.

About a month later, Ji Xuan'an came with his disciples, including a few who were good at growing herbs. At the same time, their eldest son Li Nian'an also came.

Li Nian'an saw his parents' conspicuous carriage from a long distance, so he didn't wait for the others and walked towards the carriage with graceful steps. He stopped in front of the carriage, walked up the stairs, and then saw his parents leaning against each other and whispering sweet nothings.

Afterwards, he sat down opposite the two of them with a resentful look on his face, and then angrily shouted at Li Xiangyi: "Dad clearly promised to take me with him when he went out, but who would have thought that you would secretly abduct Mom while I was out? This is really too much!"

Facing his son's indignant accusation, Li Xiangyi seemed a little impatient. He frowned and said with disgust: "You are now an adult. You are no longer the little kid who sticks to your mother all day and can't leave her for a moment. Besides, your mother is my wife. How can she not take you with me when she goes out?"

"Humph, I don't care about that anyway! I just want to stay with my mother all the time."

Li Nian'an argued stubbornly while moving closer to sit beside Ji Xiao. She hugged her arms tightly, put on a pitiful look, and leaned on her shoulder and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom, look at Daddy. He's so annoying. He actually despises me like this."

Seeing this, Ji Xiao glanced at Li Xiangyi helplessly, then reached out and gently stroked her son's head, saying softly and comfortingly: "Our An An has indeed grown up. In a few years, he will be able to get married and start a family."

"I don't want to get married! Besides, my senior brother hasn't married yet, so there's no need for me to rush into getting married." Li Nian'an shook his head like a rattle, showing great resistance.

"Okay, okay, no rush."

Li Xiangyi looked sullenly at the child who was hugging his mother tightly and refused to let go, and said unhappily, "You are already so grown up, why are you still hugging your mother like a child? Quickly let go of your hands! If you really want to hug her, then find a wife and come back. Then you can hug her however you want. No one will care about you then."

"I don't want to, huh!" Li Nian'an rubbed his face against Ji Xiao's shoulder and looked at Li Xiangyi as if he would not let go even if he was beaten to death.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from far away, and Ji Xuan led a group of people and horses to arrive. He was riding on a horse and saw three figures standing on the terrace of the small building from a distance, so he pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the terrace.

"Master, I have brought the person here as you instructed." Ji Xuan came in front of Li Xiangyi and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped.

"Well, you're just in time." Li Xiangyi nodded, then turned to Ji Xuan and said, "You guys settle down here first, and I'll tell you the details later."

"Yes, Master." Ji Xuan replied, then turned around and directed everyone to set up camp.

The other disciples stepped forward and saluted Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao beside him, saying, "Master, Madam Master."

"Ah."

"Well, you've worked hard all the way. You guys go get busy first!"

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, everyone worked together and performed their duties, and before long, several tents were successfully set up, and the person in charge of cooking had also prepared dinner.

After night fell, Li Xiangyi came to the largest tent and talked with Ji Xuan all night long. Li Nian'an stayed with Ji Xiao all night, and fell asleep in the room next to them when he couldn't stand it anymore.

During this period, Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao continued to stay in this place, watching the affairs gradually get back on track. And since there was nothing else for them to do next, the two decided to leave for the next place.

So that afternoon, Li Nian'an and some other people went into the city. Li Xiangyi and Ji Xuan'an seized the opportunity, quickly harnessed their horses, left a note as a farewell letter, and then embarked on a new journey without hesitation.

Who could have known that after this separation, they would be in two completely different worlds that were out of reach! However, all this was beyond their control. After all, as the son of heaven in his original world, Li Xiangyi carried most of the luck of that world, so when the time came, he was taken back by the heaven of his original world, but when he returned, there was only one more Ji Xiao.
