Chapter 232 Your Growth Makes Me Happy
Shen Li said helplessly, "Then I will run away from marriage again."
In fact, Rou Ya was afraid that Shen Li was away and not good at trading, so he might get cheated, so she insisted on going with them, saying that she wanted to buy some things for the mansion.
Seeing this, Shen Li felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he smiled and agreed to Rouya's request. The three of them then embarked on this treasure hunting and purchasing journey together.
The flea market is bustling with stalls selling everything from rare herbs to exotic magical instruments.
However, Xing'er and Shen Li had a clear goal. They moved among the crowd, asking around for the whereabouts of the white-bearded old man.
After some twists and turns, in the bustling flea market, Xing'er's eyes were as sharp as a falcon and she found a similar figure.
As he passed by an inconspicuous stall in the corner, a barely perceptible sense of familiarity passed through his heart.
He stopped suddenly and fixed his eyes on an inconspicuous stall in front of him.
There, an old man with a white beard was sitting leisurely, as if isolated from the world.
Xing'er was delighted and was about to call Shen Li, but she saw the old man's figure flash and disappear into the air like morning mist, leaving only empty seats and puzzled eyes from the people around him.
"Xing'er, did you see that? The old man with white beard?"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Shen Li's voice, and she was obviously attracted by this sudden change.
Xing'er nodded, frowning, "Yes, Sister Shen Li, but he seems to have... disappeared."
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and anxiety. Shen Li bit her lower lip, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "We must find him, the secret on the stone slab may only be solved by him."
Just as they were about to search again, an inexplicable chill quietly enveloped the surroundings.
Shen Li was extremely alert. She turned around abruptly and saw several demons with distorted shapes and empty eyes approaching silently.
Shen Li's pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly made a judgment. She whispered to Xing'er, "Xing'er, protect Rouya and the stone slab, and leave these to me."
After saying that, Shen Li flashed and took the initiative to meet those evil spirits, leading them to the edge of the market to avoid hurting innocent people.
Her movements were swift and decisive, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind, but her heart was full of vigilance, because she knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
On the other side, Xing'er was protecting Rouya and Shiban tightly, her eyes full of worry.
He noticed that Shen Li was entangled by several evil spirits and became extremely anxious.
In a hurry, he looked around, picked up a seemingly ordinary brush, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and activated his unique mental method. The brush in his hand gradually emitted a faint light, and then turned into a sharp sword, flashing with cold light.
"Sister Shen Li, I'll help you!" Xing'er shouted, holding a sword made of a brush, and rushed towards the demons that attacked Rou Ya. Although his swordsmanship was not as exquisite as Shen Li's, each strike contained his profound cultivation and firm will, making it difficult for those demons to get close to him for a while.
Shen Li felt a warm current in her heart when she saw this. She fought harder against the enemy in front of her, while paying close attention to the battle situation on Xing'er's side.
With the tacit cooperation of the two, those evil spirits with evil intentions were finally repelled one by one and disappeared into the air.
After the battle, Shen Li quickly rushed to Xing'er and Rouya and carefully checked their injuries.
Shen Li rushed to Rouya's side and saw that she was pale, but her eyes were shining with unyielding light. Shen Li gently helped Rouya up and asked with concern: "Rouya, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Rouya forced a smile and shook her head, "Miss, I'm fine, just a little frightened. Fortunately, the stone slab was not stolen." As she spoke, she hugged the stone slab tightly to her chest, as if it was her only support at the moment.
She was relieved to see that both of them were safe.
"Miss, this is so scary. How could a ghost suddenly appear?" Rou Ya patted her clothes in dissatisfaction, with fear in her eyes.
"It's okay, I'm here! Rouya, I won't let the evil spirits hurt you and Sister Li!" Xing'er held Rouya's shoulders, took the stone slab and put it away.
Shen Li looked at Xing'er gratefully, "Thank you, Xing'er. I am very pleased with your growth."
Xing'er smiled slightly, with confidence shining in her eyes, "Sister Shen Li, we are partners and should support each other. Moreover, I believe that as long as we work together, nothing can stop us."
Shen Li felt a warm current in her heart. She looked at Rouya with gratitude, then turned to Xing'er, with a look of gratitude and determination in her eyes. "Xing'er, thanks to your timely action, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Rouya, listen to me next time and don't rush to follow me."
"Yes, miss!" Rouya replied with a pout.
Xing'er breathed slightly, and the brush in his hand had returned to its original shape, but the expression on his face was unusually serious.
"Sister Shen Li, these demons are obviously coming for the stone slab. We must be more careful. Moreover, the whereabouts of the old man with white beard are so strange. Maybe he is also related to the secret behind this stone slab."
Shen Li nodded and quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for possible hidden dangers.
"You are right. We cannot let our guard down. But what is more important now is that we must find the old man with white beard as soon as possible and unravel the secret on the stone slab. Only in this way can we completely get rid of the entanglement of these evil spirits."
At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing a subtle fluctuation. Shen Li and Xing'er became alert at the same time. They looked at each other and reached a tacit consensus - continue to track the whereabouts of the white-bearded old man.
Shen Li took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and then said to Xing'er: "Xing'er, let's split up. You continue to look for clues in the flea market, and I'll go to the nearby teahouses and pubs to ask if anyone knows the whereabouts of the old man."
Xing'er nodded in agreement. "Okay, then be careful. If you encounter any danger, signal me immediately."
Shen Li smiled slightly, with a confident light in her eyes. "Don't worry, I will." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a firm and beautiful back.
Xing'er stood there, watching Shen Li leave until her figure disappeared in the crowd.
Then, he also began his own search. His movements were agile and cautious, and he did not miss any stalls or corners, trying to find any traces of the old man with white beard.
At this moment, the weather suddenly changed, and the stall owners in the flea market packed up their stalls and quickly left the market.
