After sleeping for half an hour, the elder brother's energy was completely restored. He washed and dressed and was going to go to Jiang Li to redeem the fan.

Before going to bed, the eldest brother told He Qingfeng.

"You must not tell your companions about this."

"Don't worry, I have the strictest mouth."

After leaving the door, He Qingfeng rushed to Jiang Li's room.

There was no one in Jiang Li's room, so he went to Shi Qingjue's side. He shouted as soon as he opened the door.

"Big news! My eldest brother is indeed interested in Jiang Li... Mom and dad, why are you here?"

He Qingfeng was stunned.

Also stunned were Shi Qingjue and three others, Master He and three others.

All six people were in the room and were talking when they heard He Qingfeng's words and stopped.

He Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, but he still broke the silence.

"What were you talking about just now?"

"It's not important! What's important is what we're going to talk about later!"

Yuzhulin looked very excited.

Jiang Li looked at her as if he were looking at himself a few months ago.

She doesn't really like to be the center of the conversation. She can't even eat the melon and has to watch others eat the melon.

Eat your own melon!

Jiang Li stood up.

"It's time for me to go to the backyard to practice physical fitness. Just don't discuss it in front of me."

Jiang Li walked out of the room in two steps, stepped on He Qingfeng's head, flew up to the room, and jumped to the backyard.

The bucket for finger strength training has been placed here. After a month of training, Jiang Li was able to drink one more pound of water than at the beginning.

Compared to foot strength, finger strength has improved much more slowly, probably because I have never trained in this area before.

But the results are already there. Jiang Li now poked the brick with his finger. Although he still couldn't push it in, the pain was no longer so great.

While she was practicing, someone suddenly called her from behind.

"Girl? Girl?"

Jiang Li put down the bucket and looked back.

It's Brother He Qingfeng.

The eldest brother is also holding a money bag in his hand, and the money bag looks very delicate.

"What's the matter?"

"My third brother said he had a fan with you, and he asked me to redeem it."

"Oh, this."

After Jiang Li heard this, he knew that this must be He Qingfeng's move. After all, if it were her, she would do the same thing.

But the money is there.

She walked over, took the money, took out the fan, and handed it to her elder brother.

"Okay, here you go."

"Where did you come from?"

The eldest brother looked at the fan that appeared out of thin air and was a little curious.

Jiang Li put the money bag into the storage space again and asked him.

"Didn't your third brother tell you that we all found some magical artifacts? One of my magical artifacts has a space to put things. For example, a fan or money."

"It sounds amazing."

"Okay."

Jiang Li didn't really want to praise the system, even though the storage space was ridiculously useful, and so ridiculous that it didn't seem like something the system would give him.

Seeing his elder brother still standing there, Jiang Li asked again.

"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will continue training, so you can leave."

"Has the girl always been so repulsive to others?"

"correct."

After saying this, Jiang Li sat on the steps again and motioned for his eldest brother to sit down as well.

The eldest brother looked at the steps and sat down too.

Jiang Li said again.

"do you like me?"

"...of course I like it."

"I've never met anyone like you."

Jiang Li said this because no martial artist has ever pursued him.

But obviously the eldest brother should say this more. He has never met a woman as free and easy as Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't want to use euphemisms on this matter, because she thought it was very troublesome, so she planned to get it done at once.

But before she could speak, the eldest brother spoke first.

"Actually, girls don't have to worry about me stalking you. After all, you only live here for three days and you will leave after three days. I can't help you even if I want to stalk you."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to know the girl better."

Jiang Li looked at his sincere eyes and sighed.

"As for me, my life experience is more miserable than yours, and my character is also very flawed, so I'm definitely not suitable for you. You'd better find someone else."

"Is it worse? In the eyes of girls, does my life always go smoothly?"

"Isn't it? Your father has such a family fortune. You don't need to worry about being beaten. Don't worry..."

"Wait a minute, I still deserve a beating."

"Have you ever been injured or broken?"

The eldest brother was a little surprised after hearing this, and then shook his head.

Jiang Li smiled and said again.

"When I was ten years old, my arm was broken with a rolling pin because I didn't like the food my mother cooked. When I went to see the doctor, she said it was because I accidentally fell. After that They never said an apology and clearly had no regrets."

"Doesn't your father care?"

"My dad? My dad said how difficult it is for my mother to cook. Why don't I know how to care about them? He also blames me for why my bones are so brittle. He has to pay my medical expenses after working hard to earn money."

After hearing this, the eldest brother was silent for a while. He had heard of bad parents, but never anything like this.

Jiang Li saw that he didn't speak, so he continued.

"For so many years, I don't know why they seem to want me to die. However, they also want me to become famous and repay them, saying that then they will be able to enjoy happiness. The only way I can explain is that they never They treated me as a daughter, not even as a human being, just as a tool. If you think about it this way, no matter how outrageous they do, I won’t have any emotional fluctuations."

After Jiang Li said this, he realized that he had gone too deep. He didn't want to continue this topic and asked his elder brother again.

"It's your turn. What's so tragic about you?"

"...My third brother is He Qingfeng."

"That's really sad."

The elder brother made a joke, a joke that Jiang Li would still pick up even if he knew it was a joke. After all, He Qingfeng was involved.

After laughing for a while, the eldest brother said to Jiang Li again.

"Actually, my goal is already in progress."

"What do you mean?"

"I wanted to know you, and now I know one more thing about you."

Seeing his elder brother's confident look, Jiang Li tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was looking at a new creature.

Jiang Li asked again.

"Then you know, what do you think?"

"I want to get to know you better, and I want to know more about you."

"……are you crazy?"

Jiang Li blurted out. This is not entirely a curse. The main reason is that those who know Jiang Li's situation have accepted it, and few are normal people.

The eldest brother ignored these words and continued to say to Jiang Li.

"I have only started to gradually take over my father's business in the company in the past two years, but before that, I had been following my father for nearly ten years. I have met a lot of people. Although I can't see through others with just a few words, I can more or less be able to see through them. Learn something.”

After saying this, the eldest brother looked into Jiang Li's eyes again.

"But you are very unique. I have never seen someone so free-spirited. If I am with you, life will definitely not be a stagnant water. I want to get to know you, is this weird?"

"But I'm not a fuel-saving lamp. If you stay with me, you'll be in constant trouble, so you'd better give up."

"Whether to give up or not is always up to me to judge. Let me ask you, if you start a business, how do you start making choices?"

"That's naturally after collecting information and weighing the pros and cons."

"So I must first understand the girl before I can make a choice, whether to give up or continue."

Jiang Li thought about what his elder brother said and laughed.

"You are really good material for doing business."

"The same goes for the girl, but she didn't notice it."

Looking at her elder brother's answer, Jiang Li wanted to continue the fight, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of Jiang Xiaoyue's pigeons.

Whether the pigeon is dead or not will only be known when you open the box.

This statement seems to have some common points with the elder brother's current statement.

Give Schrödinger some face, after all, he plagiarized other people's stuff.

Jiang Li nodded.

"Then in these three days, if you want to know anything about me, I will give you the opportunity. But as I said before, I am still not very interested in the relationship between men and women, so the chance of your failure is very high."

“Those who decide that they can’t do it and give up before doing it are, in my opinion, stupid.”

The eldest brother also said the same.

He was happy because he knew he had a chance.

After saying this, the eldest brother asked Jiang Li again.

"How can a girl tell you your name?"

"Didn't you ask He Qingfeng?"

"No. I want to hear it from the girl's own mouth."

"It's really troublesome... I originally said my name was Jiang Xiyue, but they said they wouldn't let me use that name, so I should become Jiang Xiaoyue."

"Jiang Xiaoyue...is the girl's name so random?"

"The name is just a code name. What about you? What is your name?"

"The girl hasn't asked my third brother my name, either?"

"Because I'm not interested."

Anyone who heard Jiang Li's words would be embarrassed, but the eldest brother didn't seem so embarrassed.

"Then let me introduce myself. My name is He Qingguang. I am the eldest son of the He family. I am twenty-nine years old this year."

"Good."

After saying this, Jiang Li sighed and shouted again.

"Have you seen enough? Come out."

But after saying that, no one came out.

The eldest brother asked her.

"Is someone watching us?"

"Nonsense. If it were me, I would definitely peep into my companions' gossip."

But after talking, no one came out.

Jiang Li said impatiently.

"Even if you pretend that you are not eavesdropping and make me suspect that I guessed wrong, it is impossible. I have blind confidence in myself."

After saying this, the four of them came down from the roof, along with He Qingfeng's father, mother and fourth sister.

It is not difficult for four Jianghu people to lead three people to climb a wall.

However, in the next few days, things did not develop as everyone expected.

After a few days of contact, the eldest brother's curiosity about Jiang Li has only increased, because the things Jiang Li has done recently are really hard to believe that a person with brains can do it.

It's just that Jiang Li still has no interest in his eldest brother and only treats him as a normal friend.

After noon the next day, the second brother He Qinghuan came back with his second sister-in-law.

Unlike others, the second brother reprimanded He Qingfeng as soon as he came back, scolded him for stealing the family's money and ran away from home for three years without any news.

In my memory, my second brother had never said such serious words to me. Maybe it was because of my impression at that time that my second brother was always studying.

After the reprimand, He Qingfeng asked his second brother why he didn't continue taking the merit examination, only to learn that his second brother was involved in a case of imperial examination fraud.

Although it was later found out that the second brother's teacher was not involved in the fraud, the second brother also saw clearly that this was the political opponent of the second brother's teacher.

Prince Su is the emperor's uncle and has a high status in the court. In other words, he and his second brother, the teacher, are political enemies.

In this case, even if the second brother enters the palace examination, there will be no good results. If you want to become an official, you can only wait until Prince Su dies or loses power.

Therefore, the second brother chose to go into business first, and at the same time, he wanted to have a child with the second sister-in-law and pass on the incense to the He family.

After hearing this, He Qingfeng decided to go out and find some tonic for his second brother. After all, the entire task of inheriting the He family was placed on the second brother.

The day we set off again was in the morning. A few people got into the car, packed their things, and were ready to leave.

The younger sister asked He Qingfeng again.

"Third brother, will you come back after leaving this time?"

"I'll definitely come back. After I go to the martial arts competition, I will go home and stay for a while. I'll tell you where I want to go then."

Mrs. He was still concerned about the things He Qingfeng brought.

"Have you got all the food and blankets? It takes three days to go to the next stop, Wei Tuo City, and there is only an inn on the way."

"Don't worry, I have enough stuff and I can make my way on the road in time."

The eldest brother, on the other hand, was still talking to Jiang Li.

"Miss Jiang, do you plan to come back after the martial arts competition?"

"It depends on the situation. If there is no place to go then, I will come over."

"Then I will prepare a banquet here to congratulate the girl."

The eldest brother seemed very happy.

But Jiang Li still didn't take it seriously.

The carriage was soon on its way again.

This journey has not been smooth either.

In the evening, they walked to a village and planned to stay here for the night. As they approached, they met a man arrested by the government.

The war is not over yet and more soldiers are needed on the front line.

Jiang Li sighed

They are people in the world, and they also have to do justice for heaven, but in this case, they seem to be unable to do anything.

Fight with the government? Even if he went down to save these people now, it would have no effect at all. They will still have to leave, and when the time comes the government will definitely come back with even greater efforts, because their performance is not enough, and the government is afraid that their lives will be in danger.

Shi Qingjue looked at it, sighed, and gave way.

They found a dilapidated temple to stay overnight, and then continued on their way the next day.

When they arrived at the inn, it was after noon. Seeing the escort car parked at the door, they felt that this place should be relatively safe, so they planned to take a rest here tonight.

At the same time, in Donglin Mountain, Li Hong walked in from the outside and met the Demon Lord.

The devil asked Li Hong.

"Have they not arrived at Skanda City yet?"

"Go back to the master. I just went to check. The person is very close. We should be able to reach the place we planned tomorrow."

"That's good. I hope things are exactly as you said."

The Demon Lord does not need to threaten Li Hong, because Li Hong knows exactly what the consequences will be.

His burnt skin was already a reminder.
