Start a mysterious island

Under the bright sunshine, the breeze blows.

Da da da……

drive.

Two women in black outfits rode two maroon horses, galloping quickly in the fields outside the city.

The woman running in front was twenty-two or thirty years old, young, with a handsome face, neat short hair, slim figure, and full of heroic spirit.

The woman who was one step behind was in her forties, with a curvy figure and a mature lady.

As she followed closely behind the woman running in front, a light golden light flashed in her eyes from time to time, and she paid attention to the movements around her. It was not until the tall city gate appeared in front of her that she relaxed a little.

When the two women were approaching the city gate on horseback, they pulled the reins in their hands slightly, and the horses understood and slowed down slightly.

There were soldiers on duty at the city gate. One of the new recruits had just taken office today and saw two women riding horses preparing to enter the city.

And their speed was a bit fast. According to regulations, they needed to be stopped to remind them not to go too fast, so he was about to raise his hand to signal the other party to stop.

At this moment, among the soldiers on duty, there was a veteran in his forties. He quickly grabbed the newcomer's arm and said, Young man, what are you going to do?

Uncle Wu, those two people are riding a bit too fast. According to regulations, they need to be stopped and reminded not to run so fast after entering the city. The young soldier said.

Idiot, during the training for newcomers, didn't your instructor tell you who can and cannot be stopped? said the middle-aged soldier.

Uh... the instructor said, Uncle Wu, you mean, the identities of these two people are not simple? said the young soldier.

The middle-aged soldier nodded, then looked at the two women in black costumes who were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and whispered to the newcomers.

Look at the horses they ride, and look carefully at the style of the bridle on the horse's head. That can only be used by people from the City Lord's Mansion. Do you understand now?

City Lord's Mansion?!!! The young soldier was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the two people he wanted to stop were actually from the City Lord's Mansion.

As a small soldier guarding the city gate, how could he afford to offend the people of the city lord's mansion!

After being reminded by the seniors, the young soldiers no longer dared to stop the two women wearing black outfits and riding BMWs, who were preparing to enter the city quickly.

Miss, we are about to enter the city. Our speed is too fast. He Manyu, an old lady, reminded the heroic girl running in front when she was about to arrive at the gate of the city.

I got it, Aunt Yu. The girl turned around and responded, then pulled the reins in her hands a little harder, and the speed of the horse under her crotch immediately slowed down significantly.

When the two women in black costumes passed through the city gate, the speed of their horses had already dropped to the speed range specified in the city.

After entering the city, two women stopped at a crossroads on horseback.

Miss, why did you stop? Aren't you going home? He Manyu turned her head and looked to her side, asking the heroic girl.

I'm not going home now.

Then where are we going?

Go to my uncle's house.

After the words fell, the heroic girl shook the reins in her hands, and then rode her horse towards the right hand side of the intersection. When He Manyu, an old lady, saw this, she immediately drove her mount to catch up.

…………

The streets are lined with trees on both sides, occupying a huge area and in front of the magnificent mansion.

Xu...

Two women in black outfits stopped in front of the Zhu family's mansion.

The guards of the Zhu family who were standing guard in front of the vermilion gate saw the two women in fancy clothes dismounting and immediately approached them.

Miss Li, Guard He. Two strong guards from the Zhu family came to the two women, greeted them respectfully, and reached out to take the reins from each other's hands.

Take them to eat something and give them a bath by the way. Li Qian ordered the two guards from her uncle's house as if she were at home.

Yes. The two guards nodded. One of them led two tired and panting horses, preparing to enter the mansion from the side door, take them to the stables, and ask the groom to arrange food and bathing for the two horses.

Are my uncle and cousin at home? Li Qian asked the guard who was waiting while walking into the mansion.

Master has gone out to do errands. Miss, she is at home. the guard replied.

Li Qian nodded, Go and tell my cousin that I'm here and ask her to come out to see me as soon as possible.

After saying that, she was about to walk towards the living room, but at this time, the guard said something that made her stop immediately, and then she looked surprised.

Ms. Li, she is visiting guests by the lake and cannot come to see you for the time being. The guard said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Welcoming guests? Male or female?

He is a young man.

Eh?!!! Li Qian, whose face was originally full of surprise, suddenly became filled with curiosity when she heard what the guard said.

She knew her cousin very well.

When visitors of the opposite sex come to visit, they can only meet in the reception hall at most. It is simply incredible that she can take the visitors of the opposite sex to chat by the lake in the house.

You don't need to report. I will go to the lake to find my cousin. Li Qian said, and then took her bodyguard He Manyu and walked quickly to the artificial lake in the mansion.

... The guard who received Li Qian and He Manyu was left on the spot. He raised his hand and scratched his head, then turned and left, returning to the door to stand guard.

…………

Time flies by like a white horse, and before you know it, the sun has already reached the top of people's heads.

After a while, it will almost be time for lunch.

As the sun rises, the temperature also rises a lot, but there is a large lake with rippling blue waves in front of it.

Sitting in the pavilion, the wind blowing from the lake came one after another, but I didn't feel hot at all.

Chunxiang, go and get some fruits... Zhu Xinru saw that the fruits on the table were almost eaten, so she turned her head, looked at the personal maid standing beside her, and ordered.

Yes, miss. Chunxiang nodded and went to ask the little maid to get the fruit.

There's no need to get any more fruit. Just eat what's on the table and that's enough. During the chat, unknowingly, the fruit on the table was almost cleared away. Now I heard that the host wanted to get some fruit for me again. , Lin Li said a little embarrassed.

Zhu Xinru thought for a while, she would be able to have lunch in a while, nodded, and then signaled to her personal maid that she didn't have to ask anyone to get the fruit.

Mr. Lin, you are traveling alone. Do you often encounter strange animals on the road?

Lin Li took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and casually said, Fortunately, I don't encounter strange beasts many times, and even if I do, it's not the type that I can't deal with.

Then what does the most dangerous beast you encountered look like? Zhu Xinru asked curiously.

Lin Li thought about it and decided to use the story of the strange beast that he was forced to take refuge on a mysterious island for the first time after he came to the spirit world.

The most dangerous beast I encountered was a giant goshawk that looked like a fighter jet.

It was much stronger than me at the time. Fortunately, I had some means to avoid its attacks, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Lin Li recalled the scene when he was attacked by a giant goshawk and a strange beast, and described it to Zhu Xinru calmly.

Fighter? Zhu Xinru said doubtfully after hearing Lin Li's description.

Fighters are a very common flying tool in my hometown. If you haven't seen it before, don't worry too much... Lin Li realized that he had accidentally let something slip, and quickly explained vaguely.

When Zhu Xinru was about to ask what this flying tool called a fighter looked like, a clear shout came from behind her.

Xinru.

Zhu Xinru turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was her cousin, and then stood up.

Lin Li also looked towards the other party at this time and saw a tall woman about his own age and a middle-aged woman in her forties walking towards the pavilion.

Li Qian walked into the pavilion and quickly shifted her gaze from her cousin to the young man sitting on the stone bench.

This man is handsome, not tall, and not very handsome. Why does my cousin treat him so differently?

Cousin, this Mr. Lin Lilin is the savior I told you before. Zhu Xinru introduced Lin Li to Li Qian, and then she turned to Lin Li and introduced Li Qian, Mr. Lin, this It’s my cousin Li Qian.”

Hello, Miss Li. Lin Li stood up and nodded to the other party.

At first, Li Qian thought that this young man was just good-looking and had no merits. But now when she heard Zhu Xinru's introduction, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Why is this woman looking at me like this? It feels like she wants to fight with me... Lin Li noticed that Li Qian's eyes were suddenly staring at him, and he muttered to himself.

Cough... He Manyu, who was standing behind Li Qian, naturally knew what her young lady was thinking at the moment, so she quickly pretended to cough, reminding her to restrain herself and pay attention to her image.

What a pity! He Manyu's reminder did not make Li Qian, who really wanted to compete with Lin Li, any restraint. She still looked at him with bright eyes.

Cousin. Zhu Xinru looked at Li Qian, who had bright eyes and stared at Lin Li. She was so smart that she immediately knew what her cousin, who was keen on practicing and looking for others to learn from, was thinking at the moment, so She shouted back.

He Manyu's shouting failed to make Li Qian restrain himself, but Zhu Xinru's shouting had an immediate effect.

What are you doing? Li Qian looked away from Lin Li and looked at her cousin, asking.

Mr. Lin is my guest. Zhu Xinru implicitly reminded her cousin, telling her not to go too far.

The two of them had been playing together since childhood. Li Qian immediately understood what Zhu Xinru said, but in her mind, she was a practitioner! It is normal to spar and discuss, and it is not impolite to extend an invitation to spar.

Mr. Lin, thank you for helping my cousin out of trouble last time. Li Qian thanked Lin Li.

Mr. Lin? Hey, this title sounds so awkward... Lin Li nodded uncomfortably and responded politely.

No need to thank you. Drawing a sword to help when the road is rough is what everyone who has the ability to deal with such a matter should do.

After hearing Lin Li's response, Li Qian's favorability suddenly increased. Then she didn't mince words and said bluntly, Mr. Lin, I want to discuss with you, is that okay?

Huh?!!! Lin Li never expected that this tall and heroic girl in front of him would actually invite him to spar when they met for the first time.

Cousin. Zhu Xinru called Li Qian speechlessly, and then explained to Lin Li sheepishly.

Mr. Lin, my cousin is usually keen to compete with peers. Don't worry, just ignore her.

Xinru, it is normal for practitioners to compete with each other. You are also a practitioner yourself, so you should understand! Why do you think I am a weirdo when you say this... Li Qian protested to his cousin.

Yes, it is normal for practitioners to compete with each other, but it is not good for you to invite others to compete with each other as soon as you meet them! And there will be lunch soon. Zhu Xinru said.

It's time to have lunch soon! That wouldn't be better, eating will be more delicious after we spar. Li Qian automatically ignored the first half of Zhu Xinru's words and said.

Miss... He Manyu, who was standing behind her lady, felt that her lady's appearance was no longer that of a lady.

Cousin, you can discuss with Mr. Lin later, don't be in such a hurry. Zhu Xinru said.

Oh, it's just a competition! It won't take much time to get things done in a moment, so why wait for the future! Li Qian said carelessly.

Then she turned her head and focused her eyes again on Lin Li, who was standing aside and didn't say much.

Her meaning was very obvious, it was up to Lin Li to decide whether or not to spar. If he didn't agree, that would be it.

This girl's character is really straightforward... Lin Li knew that Li Qian had no ill intentions and simply wanted to compete with him.

He doesn't dislike girls with such straightforward personalities, and as Li Qian said, it doesn't take much time to get things done in one go.

So, under the gaze of the three people, Lin Li smiled and nodded, It's really good to exercise before meals...

Hehe... Li Qian heard Lin Li's answer, and a hearty smile suddenly appeared on her handsome face. Then he looked at his cousin, Look! Mr. Lin has the same idea as me.

... Zhu Xinru looked at her cousin speechlessly, and He Manyu, as a personal guard, also looked helpless.
