Li Xiaolang's home.

"Okay, you guys go first."

Listening to Li Xiaolang's words, several middle-aged men wearing diamond brocade robes looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Finally, a slightly older middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "But... the city lord told us that we must take you to work!"

Li Xiaolang sat on a stool and drank wine. Looking at these people who were about the same age as him and looked extremely nervous, he felt a little funny for a moment.

"I said it all. I don't want to be the headmaster of Hongshuicheng Library. How many more do you want me to say it?"

He casually crossed his legs, forming a sharp contrast with the anxious people standing aside.

"Uh..." They looked at each other a few times, not knowing what to do.

This is the second time they have come to ask Li Xiaolang to take office!

The first time was when Li Dalang just returned from the sect. At that time, they were ordered to come and ask Li Xiaolang to take office, but they were driven out.

This time, Li Dalang temporarily left Hongshui City, and the city lord ordered them to find Li Xiaolang to take office... Although he was rejected by Li Xiaolang again, Li Xiaolang's attitude this time seemed not as tough as before.

——I always feel that this time he said a little joke!

I realized that Li Xiaolang did not drive them out as tough as last time, and he plucked up the courage alone and tried to convince Li Xiaolang: "Actually, this job is really rare, but the status is very high. You don't need to do anything, you just need to take care of the storage in Hongshuicheng every day..."

Li Xiaolang smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him.

These subordinates are really dedicated!

"Go back, I really don't want to do the errands given by the city lord."

These people smiled awkwardly: "But..."

"Okay, no need to say more."

Li Xiaolang was a little impatient. He put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up suddenly with the intention of drinking, and said coldly:

"When I go back, I tell the city lord directly, I won't go, don't bother me anymore!"

How many people in Hongshui City dare to be so rude to the city lord?

As Li Dalang's younger brother, Li Xiaolang is definitely one of them.

Listening to this, the few people had a bitter expression. There was no way, so they had to turn around and leave helplessly.

Seeing these people leaving, Li Xiaolang sat on the chair and started drinking. His eyes were concentrated on the wine pot, not knowing what he was thinking.

His wife was listening to the conversation around her. After the people left, she bit her lip and walked over.

"Xiaolang, why don't you go?"

She was very strange, with a high status and few affairs. Why didn't Li Xiaolang want such a good errand?

Faced with his wife's doubts, Li Xiaolang still drank wine and remained silent.

He had already drank several pots this morning!

"Oh." His wife sighed deeply and sat next to Li Xiaolang.

Just as she was trying to say something, Li Xiaolang suddenly stretched out his palm.

He stared at the traces of the wound on his hand bandage and spoke slowly: "Wife, do you know why the city lord gave me such a good job?..."

The wife thought for a while and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Li Xiaolang.

"Ha, because he wants to keep my brother!"

Suddenly, Li Xiaolang's emotions began to become excited!

"Then do you know why the city lord wants to keep my brother?"

The wife's eyes were complicated, and she looked at Li Xiaolang who was getting more and more excited, without saying a word.

"Ha, because my brother is a cultivator!"

After those people left, the emotions buried in Li Xiaolang seemed to be unveiled and burst out wantonly at this moment!

"I'm not a cultivator, do you think the city lord will still pay attention to me?"

He stood up with a wine glass, and with the intention of drinking, he stumbled towards the small yard and laughed inexplicably!

"Xiao Lang!"

His wife hurriedly chased after her.

"Haha, flying in the sky and hiding the earth, a cultivator with great magical powers!..."

Li Xiaolang, standing in the small yard, raised his head and burst out laughing strangely. He opened his arms to the blue sky, as if he was embracing the unreachable clouds in the sky, with a crazy expression.

"Haha, youth will last forever, immortality!..."

Put down your arms, and the wine in the cup keeps rippling in the cup due to the bumps, like a rootless duckweed, helpless.

Drink all the wine in the glass,

Another laugh!

"Haha, thousands of people admire it!"

And as he smiled, the voice stopped.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at the empty wine glass in his hand seriously, frowned, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Wife, what do you think if I were a cultivator, would things happen?"

Listening to this, the wife, who looked nervous, bit her lips tightly.

She slowly expressed her doubts with hesitation in her eyes: "Xiaolang, are you still hating him for killing someone in the past, causing your father to die..."

——It seems that the long talk between the two brothers on the table last night seemed useless!

You should know that last night, Li Xiaolang quietly clenched his fists, and even clenched his hands to the point where blood was dripping. It can be seen that his husband must still be very unwilling to accept it.

My wife guessed that Li Xiaolang probably was unwilling to accept that his father was killed.

After thinking about it, the wife said again: "You must know that he must have killed someone by accident, not intentionally. Since the matter has passed, why are you still so obsessed with this matter?..."

She really didn't want to see her husband feel so uncomfortable, so she racked her brains and tried hard to relieve him.

Li Xiaolang continued to stare at the wine glass, silent.

Seeing that Li Xiaolang had the intention to resolve the conflict in his heart, his wife took a deep breath and advised again: "Your brother has said that he will do his best to find the enemy who killed his father, so why should you..."

Suddenly, Li Xiaolang spoke and interrupted his wife.

"Wife, have you ever bet on stones?"

"Gambling on stones?"

Turning his head and staring at his wife, Li Xiaolang actually smiled.

"If you had a stone secretly transferred by someone else, how would you feel?"

The wife frowned, not understanding what Li Xiaolang meant.

"And, there is still a big treasure inside your stone, haha!"

The wife, who didn't understand the situation, paused and opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Li Xiaolang's subsequent serious words.

"In the end, you learned that the thief was your relative..., daughter-in-law, let's talk, what would you feel?"

…

a long time,

Looking at his wife who was still full of confusion, Li Xiaolang smiled helplessly, left a sentence and planned to turn around and leave the small yard.

“…I’ll go out for a walk.”

Feeling her husband's stranger appearance, Li Xiaolang's wife's eyes became more and more serious. In the end, she could only watch Li Xiaolang's lonely back, and thousands of words turned into silent words.

You know, Li Xiaolang did not tell his wife about his experience in the woods, so his wife naturally didn't know that Li Xiaolang's spiritual root was taken away by Li Dalang.

——She thought Li Xiaolang was still thinking about the cause of his father's death and could not let go.

Under the eyes of his wife, Li Xiaolang stumbled away from the small yard with a wine glass.

It's still morning, the sun is warm and the breeze is not dry.

Although the sky above his head was clear, Li Xiaolang's heart was filled with haze and he could never feel the refreshing and free and easy feeling.

Whenever he thinks about the scene in the light curtain again and again, his unwillingness will overflow from his heart, uncontrollably, and splash everywhere...

I'm really unwilling to accept it!

Li Xiaolang walked towards the door, laughing while walking, muttering to himself something.

His expression was depressed and he was depressed.
