At the Tongcheng Pavilion, Jiang Li and Mengyue met Liu Ruyue.
Then the three of them went to a restaurant and had a sumptuous dinner.
During the banquet, Jiang Li proposed to his master that he and Mengyue should go back to Brahma City together.
Liu Ruyue thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
At the end of the year, Jiang Li was not given a chance to go home to celebrate the New Year. Now that he goes back, he can be reunited with his family.
"You must come back before the 20th of this month. On the 21st, the Ten-Day Ancient Realm will be opened. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve. You must not miss it."
Liu Ruyue warned seriously.
"Master, don't worry, today is only the 16th, and I will definitely be back in time before the 20th."
Jiang Li thought for a moment and nodded.
He returned to Vatican City this time, on the one hand, to accompany Mengyue back to see her father, the city lord, and on the other hand, it was also time for him to inquire about his father's whereabouts.
After dinner, Jiang Li said goodbye to his master and then rushed to the giant teleportation array located in the center of Tongcheng.
After delivering enough spiritual stones, Jiang Li and Mengyue rushed back to Fanzhou, and then rushed back to Fanzhou from Fanzhou.
There was originally a very long distance from Xihuazhou to Fanzhou, but the existence of the teleportation array made such a long distance much closer.
It only costs a lot of spiritual stones.
Soon the two of them returned to Brahma City in the middle of the night.
Because of the curfew, no one moved around inside or outside Vatican City except for the patrolling soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion.
Mengyue didn't care about anything else. She walked directly with her sword, crossed the high city wall, and entered the city lord's palace.
She took Jiang Li back to her yard.
Opening the door slowly, everything inside was neatly packed away.
Obviously, even if Mengyue is not at home, there is still a maid responsible for cleaning his room.
"Wow! I'm so tired."
After a long journey, Jiang Li threw himself on Mengyue's bed.
This bed was very familiar to him. When he married Mengyue, Mengyue slept on this bed in the first half of the night, and Jiang Li slept in the second half of the night. After dawn, Mengyue had left, leaving him some
thing.
Thinking back now, Jiang Li had a lot of thoughts.
"I'm going to see dad, so you can rest here. After dawn, I'll have dinner with you and then accompany you to Jiang's house."
On the way back, Jiang Li told Mengyue about his father's mysterious disappearance.
"Should I also go and meet my father-in-law?"
Jiang Li felt that it would be inappropriate not to meet the city lord Meng Tianxiong even though he was already here.
Obviously, Jiang Li still doesn't know that Meng Tianxiong contributed to the infamy he suffered in the first place. But what kind of mentality Meng Tianxiong had at that time is worth pondering.
Mengyue thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's not necessary."
Since Mengyue said so, Jiang Li didn't force it. After all, it wasn't very good to meet someone in the middle of the night.
Soon, he took off his shoes and clothes and lay down on the soft bed.
However, he did not fall asleep because he was still waiting for something.
About an hour later, Mengyue returned and saw Jiang Li had taken off his clothes and was lying on the bed.
She also took off the silver sword she was carrying on her back, then took off her coat and lay down gently on the bed. Her eyes flickered with a faint light, which seemed a little strange.
But as soon as she lay down, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Mengyue seemed a little surprised.
"Hehe... How can I sleep without you, my wife?"
Jiang Li chuckled, smelling the faint fragrance in Mengyue's hair.
"Glib tongue."
Mengyue was coquettish, but she did not resist. She only felt that the bed was warm and very comfortable.
She has been tense for too long, always thinking about practicing hard and getting stronger. Now in the arms of her man, she can finally relax a little.
After completely relaxing, she quickly fell asleep.
Jiang Li was extra honest this time and didn't touch anything with his hands.
Afterwards, he quickly fell into a sweet dream.
Just as the two of them were sleeping, a masked figure gently opened the door. He held a dagger that reflected an inconspicuous cold light in his hand and tiptoed towards the bed where Jiang Li Mengyue was sleeping.
After seeing clearly that the two people hugging each other on the bed were indeed Mengyue and Jiang Li, he stabbed the dagger down without mercy, but he wanted to kill Jiang Li directly.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows. With a flick of his hand, he knocked the dagger from the hand of the masked man in black, and quickly caught the dagger with his other hand without letting it fall.
to the ground.
The masked man in black obviously did not expect that there were other people lurking in this room. He was panicked for a moment. Just when he was about to run away, two spiritual energy shot through him.
's feet.
Then, the tall and broad figure lifted the masked man in black by his neck and took him away.
A night of silence.
The next day, Jiang Li and Mengyue were still asleep until the sun was shining on them.
When the sun was approaching, the two of them slowly woke up.
"Hey...you are such a lazy cat, sleeping for so long."
Jiang Li laughed and teased while getting dressed.
"Tch...you're not much better off either."
Mengyue retorted, she stretched out, and under her nightgown, her exquisite body was looming, making Jiang Li unable to take his eyes away.
She didn't care, anyway, she and Jiang Li were already Taoist couples. Although they couldn't take that final step due to cultivation reasons, there would still be such a step sooner or later.
A maid came up to help the two of them wash up, and then Meng Tianxiong sent someone to invite them, but she invited them to a dinner.
Days like this are really nourishing,
When Jiang Li saw Meng Tianxiong, he greeted him immediately, but Mengyue's expression was very dull, as if the Meng Tianxiong he met was not his father, but a stranger.
Facing Jiang Li's greeting, Meng Tianxiong smiled and nodded.
Then the meal began. Meng Tianxiong kept smiling during the meal, but Mengyue only focused on eating.
Jiang Li always felt that the atmosphere was weird. After eating something casually, he lost his appetite.
Jiang Li looked at Mengyue and found that she ate deliciously.
Meng Tianxiong ate a few pieces of monster meat and took a few sips of wine. He didn't move his chopsticks anymore, but looked straight at Jiang Li.
Feeling the fiery gaze of Meng Tianxiong, his father-in-law, Jiang Li felt goosebumps all over his body and was filled with discomfort.
He secretly wondered, why is this father-in-law always staring at him instead of his own daughter?
"Mengcheng Lord...cough, father-in-law...how is the Jiang family doing recently?"
Jiang Li inquired and asked.
"The Jiang family? As always, our Brahma City is located in a remote area, and usually nothing major happens, so there will be no changes to the larger families."
