Chapter 23 23: Role Playing

"What do you want tonight... I'll do whatever you want..."

Hearing Xia Lengbai's shy words, Li Xu was stunned and suspected that he was hallucinating.

He turned his head and saw the stupid girl lowering her head, her watery face was covered with delicate blush, and her pearly teeth bit her lower lip in embarrassment.

"?"

Good fellow, are you so cruel to make me apologize to Li Tianai!

And you still do whatever I want... You use this to test the cadres? Which cadre can withstand such a test? ?

No, how do you know that I want to sing the back garden across the river tonight? ? ?

"You saw it yourself during the day. Li Tianai has no good feelings towards you, and can even be said to be full of hostility."

Li Xu resisted the urge to agree and brewed words to remind Xia Lengbai.

"You have been so persuasive and bewitching me to apologize to Li Tianai, but it won't do you any good."

Xia Lengbai's peach blossom eyes flickered, and she whispered, "It's good for you... You really want to be valued by your sister."

Li Xu: "..."

If Xia Lengbai sacrificed her beauty for the safety of her family last night, then Xia Lengbai's sacrifice of beauty now is all for the sake of easing the relationship between her and Li Tianai.

Such a delicate and good wife, Li Xu really wants to - cry to death!

"I also have a brother."

Xia Lengbai continued to lower her blushing face, hesitating to encourage Li Xu: "No matter what mistakes my brother made, as long as he sincerely repents, my sister will be willing to forgive him in her heart..."

"Leng'er, I'll be your brother!" Li Xu blurted out.

"Hmm... eh?" Xia Lengbai was stunned.

Li Xu suddenly didn't want to sing the back garden flower across the river tonight, and wanted to role-play with Xia Lengbai.

He had already thought of a hundred tricks.

He still role-plays himself, while Xia Lengbai plays his other half-sister, with a trembling and tender tone, calling him a good brother all the time... Doesn't this leave Li Tianai, the noble sister who only insults him, far behind? !

"Okay, I promise you, it's a deal!"

Li Xu didn't say any more nonsense and agreed.

"However, I only need to go to apologize to Li Tianai. After all, this is a matter between her and me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Xia Lengbai hesitated and nodded his chin.

For some reason, since the first time he saw Li Tianai, Xia Lengbai has a natural fear of this sister. If Li Xu can go and improve his relationship with Li Tianai himself, it would be the best.

...

The Xiangguo Mansion covers a large area and can be called the first mansion in the imperial capital except the palace. It is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

The outer courtyard is occupied by the guests and servants of the mansion, while only Li Chunfeng, Li Tianai, and Li Xu can enter and leave the inner courtyard.

Now that Xia Lengbai has been married, there is one more person who can enter and leave the inner courtyard freely.

The small courtyard where Li Chunfeng had his wedding night last night was just a small dark room where Li Chunfeng usually imprisoned his rebellious son, not Li Xu's real residence in the mansion.

Because of the disagreement between Li Chunfeng and his son, Li Xu has been lingering in brothels outside for many years. At this moment, he suddenly brought Xia Lengbai back to the Jiuri Pavilion where he lived, which made him feel a little strange.

Although no one has lived in the attic in front of him for a long time, it is not desolate at all. There are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, and lights and colorful decorations are hung everywhere. The center of the hall is covered with bright and eye-catching "Xi" characters, just like a wedding room.

"Are these all arranged by Li Tianai..."

Li Xu seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression was mixed with mixed feelings.

Li Chunfeng forbade all outsiders to enter the inner courtyard. No one dared to violate his bottom line. Therefore, all the decorations in the Jiuri Pavilion could only be done by Li Tianai.

It was hard to imagine what kind of mood the foster sister, who seemed to despise him but actually cared about him very much, had when she decorated the wedding room for him yesterday.

"Why didn't you bring me here last night, but to that small courtyard?"

Xia Lengbai's beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked at Li Xu in confusion.

Li Xu: "..."

Can I say that I didn't want to marry you at all yesterday?

It's all because the drug Li Chunfeng gave me was too strong, and your innate body was too charming, it hit me and killed me...

"You were still an outsider last night, and you were not qualified to come to the inner courtyard."

Li Xu said vaguely: "Take a shower, change clothes and rest first, I will come back after finding Li Tianai."

"Well..."

Xia Lengbai has already experienced Li Xu's licking skills as a dog, and is quite clear about the implication of his asking her to take a shower and change clothes. But she agreed to do everything according to his wishes. While her face was blushing shyly, she did not forget to remind him:

"Remember, when you apologize to your sister, your tone and attitude must be sincere, and you can't be rude to her again..."

"I know, anyway, you just wash yourself and wait for me."

Li Xu waved his hand and turned to go out.

As soon as he left the Jiuri Pavilion, he went straight to the outer courtyard, muttering to himself: "It's absolutely impossible for me to apologize to Li Tianai."

Even if Xia Lengbai sacrificed her beauty to seduce him, it would still be impossible.

But the stupid girl had thought so much about him, so Li Xu couldn't reject her feelings. He could only pretend to accept the temptation, but actually go out for a walk and pretend to get rid of the matter.

"Don't go back too soon, otherwise the stupid girl will see that I'm perfunctory. Keeping her physically and mentally happy will be beneficial for me to obtain the innate charm body... Well, I just want to speed up the progress of sharing the innate charm body, not to see the stupid girl's seductive eyes calling me good brother."

"There is plenty of time, just go to the martial arts field to test the substantial benefits of improving luck."

...

The martial arts field is a place for the guards of the Xiangguo Mansion to practice. As soon as Li Xu stepped over the threshold, he saw a group of burly men fighting in the square. Every move and every style was full of impact. The spiritual power gushed out, and the sound of fists hitting flesh resounded endlessly.

"Greetings, Second Young Master!"

A muscular man with his upper body naked was the first to notice Li Xu's arrival. He immediately stopped sparring with his companions and leaped in front of him to pay his respects.

"Greetings, Second Young Master!"

The other dozens of guards heard the noise and all bowed down to Li Xu, shouting in unison.

The cultivation of these guards was not high, generally between the sixth and seventh ranks, but they were loyal. Each of them was a loyal soldier of the Xiangguo Mansion and was extremely devoted to Li Chunfeng.

"No need to be polite, you continue to spar."

Li Xu responded casually to the people in the square, his eyes fell on the muscular man in front of him.

"I suddenly feel like doing something interesting. Captain Chen, please find me a secret room and give me a practice technique."

"Yes, sir."

The man called Captain Chen did not ask what the master wanted to do with the practice technique. He followed the instructions and led Li Xu to the secret room inside the martial arts arena.
