Taixue Palace, southeast.

Li Ziye came with Xiao Xiao. In front of the small courtyard in the distance, Ye Xuanji stood quietly, watching the two people walk by.

"Sister Ye, Xiao Xiao and I have something to go to Li Yuan tomorrow."

Li Ziye spoke and sent a message, "Go and wait outside the palace early tomorrow. Keep an eye on Yu Qingxuan the whole way. If there is anything unusual, you can handle it yourself."

"yes."

Ye Xuanji responded respectfully.

"Good work."

Li Ziye thanked him, and immediately walked to Lu Baimei's courtyard with Xiao Xiao.

Not long after, the two men, one big and one small, walked back and left the Taixue Palace.

By the time the three of them returned to the house, it was almost completely dark.

After winter arrives, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, making everything more stressful than before.

"Qingxuan, take Nan'er to freshen up first."

After dinner, Li Ziye spoke up and ordered, "I have something to tell you in a moment."

"yes."

Yu Qingxuan accepted the order and immediately took Nan'er to freshen up first.

"Xiao Xiao."

After the two left, Li Ziye looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Aren't there two elders from the Qinglong Sect in the capital? Can you please invite Li Yuan tomorrow?"

Xiao Xiao looked startled when he heard this. He quickly reacted and asked, "Brother Li wants me, the Qinglong Sect, to get involved and make the troubled waters even muddier?"

"clever."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Tomorrow, Li Garden will definitely be very lively."

"good."

Xiao Xiao didn't hesitate much and nodded in response.

It's just a small effort, nothing compared to Brother Li's life-saving grace.

"Right."

After Xiao Xiao agreed, he seemed to think of something again and asked doubtfully, "Brother Li, I was in Taixue Palace just now. I saw Sister Ye looking at us from a distance. Are you also arranging tasks for Sister Ye?"

"A little thing."

Li Ziye answered truthfully, "We will go to Li Garden tomorrow. Yu Qingxuan is the only person in the house. I will ask Sister Ye to help keep an eye on it."

"Why don't you return the pearl?" Xiao Xiao asked in surprise.

"Not coming."

Li Ziye shook his head and said, "Tomorrow is such a good opportunity, let Huanzhu learn more on the side."

Tomorrow's situation will definitely be very exciting. Characters from all sides will appear in full force, which is a good opportunity for Huanzhu to learn.

"Brother Li still doesn't trust Sister Qingxuan." Xiao Xiao said softly.

"That's not true."

Li Ziye smiled and replied, "Sail the ten-thousand-year ship carefully and test it a few times before you can safely use it."

"How many times?" Xiao Xiao asked puzzledly.

"This depends on Yu Qingxuan's performance." Li Ziye said with a smile.

"Brother Li, if, I mean just in case, sister Qingxuan does something unusual, will there be no chance?" Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly and asked.

"Sister Ye has the right to handle it on her own."

Li Ziye replied, "I may not be able to see clearly while I'm in the game. It would be more appropriate for Sister Ye, a bystander, to take a look."

Xiao Xiao fell silent after hearing the former's explanation. After a moment, he said, "So what does Brother Li want to tell Sister Qingxuan?"

Li Ziye smiled softly, poured a cup of tea, and didn't answer again.

About half an hour later, Yu Qingxuan helped Nan'er freshen up and came back again.

"Qingxuan, Xiao Xiao and I are going to Li Garden tomorrow to discuss marriage with the Queen."

Li Ziye looked at the woman walking in front of him and said calmly, "I'll leave the house to you. No matter who comes, they will all be welcome."

"yes."

When Yu Qingxuan heard the word "marriage", he was shocked. He didn't ask any more questions and answered respectfully.

On the side, Xiao Xiao was silent and said nothing.

It turns out that if you tell the truth about the marriage, no one will come to the palace tomorrow, not even to return the pearl. It seems like trust, but in fact it is the most terrifying test.

Yu Qingxuan, who has already gone through a test, will probably think that Brother Li has let down his guard against her. If he has second thoughts, tomorrow will be the best time to take action.

Sister Ye and Yu Qingxuan have no friendship at all. Once any abnormality is discovered, the consequences can be imagined.

"Okay, that's all."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Go and rest early."

"Slave, please leave."

Yu Qingxuan saluted again, then turned and left.

"Xiao Xiao, I'm going to practice sword practice. You should go and rest too."

Li Ziye stood up, took a sword from the table beside him, and said.

"All right."

Xiao Xiao responded and walked towards her room.

"Xiao Xiao."

From behind, Li Ziye suddenly spoke and called.

"Um?"

Xiao Xiao turned around with a look of confusion on his face.

"Thank you."

Li Ziye said softly.

"Brother Li is out of town."

Xiao Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely help you raise the price tomorrow."

“Reliable.”

Li Ziye responded with a smile.

"Go to sleep."

Xiao Xiao waved his hand and immediately turned around and returned to his room.

On a cold night, sword shadows were flying, and it was bitingly cold.

Before dawn, Li Ziye and Xiao Xiao left separately.

Li Garden, inner courtyard.

Li Ziye walked over and knocked on the eldest sister's door.

"Come in."

In the room, Li Youwei's voice sounded and responded.

Li Ziye pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at the eldest sister who had started busy at the table early, he called softly, "Sister Youwei."

"Come here and warm yourself first. It will take a while for the Queen to arrive."

In front of the desk, Li Youwei said while looking at the account book.

"good."

Li Ziye stepped forward, sat down next to the brazier, and asked with concern, "Didn't Sister Youwei have a rest last night?"

"Took a nap."

Li Youwei responded, looked up and looked outside, and asked, "Where is Xiao Xiao? Didn't he come with you?"

"Xiao Xiao went to invite the two elders from Qinglong Sect."

Li Ziye warmed his hands and replied, "It's a show and a complete set. Only when the two elders come can the price be raised."

"Will those two elders listen to Xiao Xiao?" Li Youwei frowned slightly and asked.

"Sister Youwei, don't worry."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao is much more powerful than he looks on the surface."

at the same time.

In an inn not far from Li Garden.

In the guest room on the second floor, the two elders of Qinglong Sect looked in disbelief after hearing the words of the saint in front of them.

Is the saint going to marry the Li family?

"Holy girl, no, such a big thing must be reported to the sect master first." One of the elders came back to his senses and said urgently.

"No, I can make my own decisions about my matters."

Xiao Xiao smiled. After a moment, the smile on his face faded away, and he said in a calm tone, "Besides, I came here just to inform the two elders, not to discuss with the two elders. Let's go, the time is coming."

After saying that, Xiao Xiao didn't say any more nonsense and walked outside.

Almost at the same time, people from Dashang Palace, Guanshan Palace, Queen Changsun and Guanshan Palace set out together and rushed to Li Yuan one after another.
