Chapter: 1480

Li Xiuzhi's expression turned disappointed for an instant before he calmly left the cave, stopping at the stairs. He seemed to say:

"The relationship between our families is not shallow. Prince can stay here as long as he likes."

After saying this, Li Xiuzhi flew off, his wife Yang Xiu'er already waiting in mid-air, looking a bit worried. She gazed at him with an inquiring look, and Li Xiuzhi flew alongside her, smiling:

"Senior members of my family are just like the magistrate's rules. We've done many good deeds over the years and have accumulated some baggage... Watching our families' old friends, I can't bear to refuse. What's Yuan Chengdu want? He only wants me to protect his descendants and shield them, which is something I need to take care of, especially since it involves my little sister."

-----------------

He paused for a moment, then his expression turned cold and ruthless like that of his father Li Yunjiao, and he said in a low voice: "Without courage or strategy, not knowing when to advance or retreat. If Moon Xiang thinks highly of him, I'll just let it be. Can't I spare my little sister because of this inconsequential sentiment? What kind of family rules is this?"

Yang Xiu'er grabbed his arm and whispered: "Luckily, it's just a private agreement between us. Otherwise, it wouldn't sound very good... Moon Xiang has ulterior motives, and Yuan Fuyao is hard to understand her."

"Alright..."

Li Xiuzhi waved his hand dismissively and replied: "My little sister can handle this well enough. She's already secured her future path. What's there to listen or not listen? Won't you believe me if I give the betrothal gift to him, and he'll be privately delighted?"

The two of them walked back up the mountain, entered the grand hall, and Li Xiuzhi replied: "This bad person has been taken care of. Little sister, go get that betrothal gift and hand it over to him. You know how to speak, but he might not understand yet, so you'll need to thank him."

Li Yuezhen spoke softly: "Trouble my elder brother has caused."

Li Xiuzhi insisted on handling this matter himself, but his attitude towards Li Xuanxuan was still quite low-key and respectful. He said: "My young nephew got a bit agitated for a moment, so I followed his words to resolve this matter, not knowing if it's delayed the family affairs..."

"Get out of here... What's there to waste my old self talking about?"

Li Xuanxuan lifted his foot and seemed ready to kick him. Li Xiuzhi smiled and got up from his seat, Li Xuanxuan looked at the two siblings' harmonious performance and sighed beside himself, saying: "This is as good as it gets."

Li Yuexiang took out a few jade boxes from the cabinet in the hall, with one ornate silk pouch placed on top. She blinked her eyes like a danfei, grasped the box, and flew off towards the mountain cave, carried by the wind.

Yuan Feiyao was sitting in the cave, lamenting with a sigh, unaware that someone else had come to report again, saying that Miss Yuexiang was here.

Yuan Feiyao regained his spirits, hastily summoned two servants, and rushed out to meet this lovely person, who was riding a cloud chariot and landing at the entrance. He quickly opened his mouth and said:

"Miss Yuexiang has arrived! I..."

He was about to explain, but Li Yuexiang smiled slightly and made a gesture of silence with her hand, causing him to close his mouth. From her sleeve, she took out a few jade boxes and said:

"Look at what these are!"

Yuan Feiyao took them one by one, sinking into their essence, and discovered that they contained precious stones, elixirs, magical instruments, and mysterious jewels, piled high like mountains, flashing and dazzling. For a moment, he was mesmerized.

Li Yuexiang sighed lightly in her heart, speaking softly:

"My elder brother said that the friend does not wish to stay with me... The friend is straightforward and righteous, a gentleman of integrity, and there is no other intention."

This statement suddenly woke Yuan Feiyao up, and he hastily began to explain, but was interrupted by her subsequent words.

"Since it's like this, these things were originally left behind for my family as a token of appreciation by Yuan Chengshou the elder. Now I'm returning them to the friend, who is truly too precious to handle. Please take good care of them." JrNovels.com
