Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 240 Lotus Tower (43)

At this moment, Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng, who were left behind, walked in each carrying an exquisite food box.

From a distance, Fang Duobing saw that the door of the small building was open, so he could not wait to urge Di Feisheng beside him to speed up, and he ran towards the small building like an arrow.

"Master~ I'm back!" Before the person reached the door, the two people in the room had already heard Fang Duobing's excited shout.

At this moment, Li Xiangyi, who was leaning against Ji Xiao and whispering to her, couldn't help but look helpless and muttered softly: "This guy is simply a ghost who wants his life to come. He is even more annoying than that brat Li Nian'an."

Hearing this, Ji Xiao subconsciously raised her head, looked at Li Xiangyi, and said softly: "Xiangyi, I miss our son a little. What do you think he is doing now?"

"Well... Actually, I do miss that brat a little bit, just a little bit. But, with his cleverness, he must be living a comfortable life." Although Li Xiangyi was still harsh in his words, his tone clearly carried a subtle hint of pampering and pride.

"Yeah, that's what you said." Ji Xiao nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Just at this moment, Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng walked in side by side.

They put the food boxes on the table, and Fang Duobing looked at Ji Xiao expectantly, as if waiting for his teacher's praise, and said, "Master, I spent a lot of effort to find a restaurant with very good food! So I specially packed up their signature dishes to honor you. Oh, and I also brought delicious cakes for my uncle."

"Okay." Ji Xiao responded.

Li Xiangyi, who had originally had a gloomy face, instantly looked much better when he heard that there were cakes specially prepared for him.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Well... this time you are a sensible brat, I will let you go for now."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another whole month had passed.

During this month, Li Xiangyi ordered the housekeeper to invite skilled craftsmen to carry out a comprehensive renovation and decoration of the house. When the shopkeeper of Jishiditang and his men arrived, the branch of Jishiditang had already been completely renovated!

Next, everyone just needs to do a little cleaning and tidying up, and put all kinds of herbs and related items in place, and they can officially open for business and see patients!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed. On a sunny day, the sky at dawn was exceptionally blue and clear.

Ji Xiao stood quietly at the door, staring intently at the plaque hanging above the door. She reached out and gently pulled off the bright red silk covering it.

Although this action is simple, it contains endless meaning - it means that the new Jishidiang is officially opened!

Different from the traditional noisy opening ceremonies, there are neither deafening firecrackers nor spectacular dragon and lion dances to liven up the atmosphere.

On the contrary, the whole scene was unusually quiet and peaceful, as if they were afraid of waking up the sleeping residents around them.

In the days after the opening, Ji Xiao and his team did not rush to leave, but chose to stay here for a while. They carefully observed every detail, and only set off with confidence after ensuring that everything was in order and without omissions, and continued on the unknown journey ahead.

However, when Jiao Jiaoli, who learned the news about Di Feisheng, rushed over, she could only face the busy Jishidiang and a group of people who had already left.

After taking back the Sigumen's property, Li Xiangyi completely let go of the past, and his mind became clearer and more ethereal. He was like a white lotus blossoming from a muddy swamp, transcendent and untainted by the world. Only when he was with Ji Xiao could he see the worldly air in him.

Thanks to Ji Xiao's superb medical skills and meticulous treatment, Di Feisheng's illness was cured and there is no worry of recurrence from then on.

Then, he seized the opportunity to return to the Di family and killed all those evildoers with a thunderous force. After his revenge, Di Feisheng left behind the unique antidote prepared by Ji Xiao and left quietly...

This situation caused Jiao Jiaoli, who rushed over after hearing the news, to miss him again.

Since then, Jiao Jiaoli has fallen into a more frantic state, constantly sending people to inquire about Di Feisheng's whereabouts, but she has never found anything. However, she did not give up, and still persisted in pursuing Di Feisheng's whereabouts.

As time went by, the people around her left one after another, but those few flattering "dogs" remained with her.

In the following years, Fang Duobing traveled with them everywhere, and after two years, he had made great progress in both knowledge and martial arts. Therefore, Ji Xiao let him return to his hometown to shoulder his due responsibilities.

Ever since Ji Xiao accepted Fang Duobing as his apprentice, he taught him everything except mountain medicine and divination. Therefore, Fang Duobing was able to complete his apprenticeship within two years.

On the other hand, the sound of the flute was like a piece of taffy that could not be thrown away, clinging to the two of them, or rather, to Li Xiangyi, until the end of his life.

Even the burial was handled by Li Xiangyi himself. The reason for this was that Di Feisheng never married and always followed the two men on their travels.

Even at the moment of his death, Di Feisheng still clamored to compete with Li Xiangyi. Li Xiangyi thought that he would soon rest in peace, so he kindly accompanied him on his last journey as a pastime.

Although Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao are already in their eighties at this time, they are still as energetic as they were yesterday, without any signs of aging.

In the following years, their relatives and friends left one by one, until there was no one familiar around them.

So, in the quiet night, the two set sail and headed for the vast ocean. They braved the wind and waves, traveled around the entire continent for several years, and experienced all kinds of things in the world. When they were old, they returned home and finally settled down on Yunding Mountain.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and the heroes who once dominated the world have entered their twilight years.

However, despite this, Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao still supported each other and never left each other. They often walked side by side on the mountain trails, reminiscing about the past; or sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and discussing the world's affairs.

One morning, the sun was shining brightly in the courtyard. Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiaoru were sitting around the stone table as usual, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, blowing the petals off the tree. Ji Xiao gently reached out her hand, caught a falling petal, stared at it for a long time, and then smiled and said to Li Xiangyi: "It is enough for me to know, love and stay with you in this life."

Li Xiangyi nodded slightly, expressing his agreement. At this moment, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, as if the sky was also crying for them.
