Chapter 4 Bait
Li Tian fled from the store in embarrassment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after completely disappearing into the crowd.
"Master, are you afraid of Miss Zi Yan? I think Miss Zi Yan seems to have a good impression of you. ”
Xiao Si's voice suddenly sounded in Li Tian's mind.
Li Tian walked casually, and at the same time responded distractedly in his mind: "The worst thing I can deal with is girls. ”
It's easy for him to get in and out in front of girls, and that's how he was in his previous life.
In his previous life, he also made efforts for this, and even paid a huge price of two movie tickets, seven cups of milk tea, three boxes of chocolates, ten bags of beef jerky, five bags of spiced melon seeds and four boxes of yogurt, to ask Zhou Ling, a childhood sweetheart and good buddy who lived next door to him and played with him since childhood, for tips on dating girls.
After all, although Zhou Ling is a girl, she has been very handsome since she was a child, and she is a prince who is loved by all the girls in the school.
In those days, he continued to date and invite guests, and almost drained his wallet, but when he finally asked Xiaoling for tips on how to be more popular with other girls, he ate Xiaoling and was sentenced to death by her.
"You wooden head, don't want to hook up with other girls in your life!"
As a result, Xiaoling's curse came true, and he still didn't have a girlfriend until he became a thirty-year-old uncle before he crossed over.
It's a sad thing.
"If only your spirit could manifest itself in my body, Xiao Si. ”
With Xiao Si's help, he doesn't have to worry about how to get along with girls, and everything is left to Xiao Si to deal with.
It's a pity that Xiao Si said that as the incarnation of the Pangu Continent's martial arts, even if she has a stable spirit body in the future, she can still only stay in Li Tian's body, and her existence cannot be known by others, otherwise she will be unconsciously attracted and eaten by other people's martial arts, and eventually the spirit body will collapse and repeat the fate of dissipation.
This is also the reason why Li Tian has never mentioned Xiao Si to anyone else.
"If she had been bland about me, or even bad at it, I might have felt a little easier to get along with. But now that she's kind to me for no reason, I sometimes feel very unsteady until I find the reason for this kindness. ”
"Eh!" Xiao Si said in surprise: "Is the master even wary of Miss Ziyan? It's enough, master, you are too cautious!"
As if thinking of something, Li Tian suddenly laughed for no reason.
"Isn't it a good habit to maintain the most basic vigilance at all times, after all, there are always people who want to harm me, and as a traverser, I will definitely get into trouble in the future, so it's okay to be mentally prepared in advance. ”
Xiao Si frowned in annoyance.
The owner really doesn't understand girls at all.
Li Tian thought about it, this time he came out to buy the roots of the iron thorn tree, and borrowed the soul chasing bow from Sun Ziyan, the two main pieces of equipment have been prepared, and then there are some small jobs in the corners.
After buying a few remaining items, Li Tian went straight back to the City Lord's Mansion and set about concocting some ointments that could help him put on his resin armor.
However, when Li Tian returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he suddenly received a summons from his cheap father in this life.
"Grandpa Wu, is my father looking for me?"
Appearing in front of Li Tian was the old butler Wu Zhong.
This old housekeeper, who is about seventy years old this year, is a pivotal and important figure in the Li family, serving two generations of the Li family, and even Li Tian's cheap father Li Jiye grew up under his watch.
"That's right, Young Master Li Tian, the master is waiting for you in the study. ”
This Steward Wu has always adhered to his duty as the Grand Steward of the Li Mansion, even in the face of a waste man like Li Tian who has already determined the future of martial arts, his attitude is impeccable and respectful.
Li Tian nodded, and walked into Li Jiye's study under the leadership of Steward Wu.
Li Jiye is a very serious man, and everyone in Aoba City knows this.
Every area of the study is divided into sharp corners, as if someone has cut it with a knife, and no object can cross the small world where it should be. The bookcases that occupy an entire wall are so clean that there is not a speck of dust, and each book is neatly arranged and stuffed just right, and the sense of "not exceeding the rules" becomes more prominent.
Li Jiye sat on a solemn and rigorous Taishi chair, holding a pen and writing letters, maintaining a serious expression like a sculpture, and after Wu Zhong brought Li Tian in, he temporarily put down the things in his hand.
"Three days later, it's your bar mitzvah. ”
Li Jiye's voice fits perfectly with his first impression, serious, stereotyped, and full of majesty.
Li Tian replied with the same meticulousness: "Yes, father. ”
The atmosphere between the two was particularly dull, a little breathless, not at all like a pair of biological fathers and sons talking.
This situation has always existed since Li Tian was "sensible".
But isn't that a normal thing?
Li Tian is a thirty-year-old adult soul, and the kindness and nurturing affection between his parents and him in his previous life has a depth of thirty years, and he can't forget it.
Li Jiye is also a serious and rigid character, and he has been busy dealing with the affairs of Aoba City, and the number of times the two can talk to each other is only a handful, if this can be found between Li Jiye and father and son, it is too hypocritical.
"The place for your coming-of-age ceremony has been decided, in the Fire Cloud Mountain Range just outside the city. However, this time the situation is a bit special, Ke'er, Hangu, and Nian You will also go to Huoyun Mountain for spring hunting, so you need to set off with them in three days, and you will be separated when you get to the foot of the mountain. ”
Li Ke'er, Li Hangu and Li Nianyou are the side branches of the Li family, and they are related to Li Tian, and they are the three people with the best cultivation talent in this generation, but Li Tian is not close to them, and these people are not less concerned about his inability to cultivate.
I don't know why his cheap dad would let them go with them.
"Infernal Pavilion has made a big move recently, our Aoba Collar Giant Wood City, Autumn Fruit City, and Huaigen City, there are already several descendants of several families who have been attacked by them, and the father and son of the Wang City Lord next door have been seriously injured, and I am afraid that the next one will be my Aoba City, but I don't plan to sit still. ”
Li Tian stared at Li Jiye and said word by word: "So, you plan to use us as bait?"
Li Jiye and Li Tian kept looking at each other for three seconds, and after giving an explanation lightly, they buried their heads in his unfinished work.
"Their martial arts path has not been broken, and they can continue to move forward. ”
"You're the bait. ”
The voice is still so serious, so rigid, full of majesty.
Li Tian suddenly felt cold.
Yes, he is the biological son of the city lord, and for those people in the Infernal Pavilion, he can just use it to blackmail Li Jiye, and for Li Jiye, he has no cultivation qualifications, and there is no deep relationship between the two, even if there is an accident, there is no need to feel distressed.
There really isn't a better bait than his waste.
"Master, you're his own son!How could he do that!" Xiao Si was already furious, "Master, get the aura empowerment!
Li Tian lowered his head and clenched his fists.
No, he can't be impulsive!
For the sake of Xiao Si, he can't use aura yet.
I've endured it for so many years, how can I give up all my efforts because of this sentence!
It's not worth it.
It's not worth it!
Li Tian left the study in silence.
The ridicule and ridicule of others and the cold words turned out to be no match for the fluttering "bait" to hurt people.
After Li Tian withdrew, in the silent study, Li Jiye put down his pen, as if he wanted to confirm something, and muttered: "Uncle Wu, do you feel the fluctuation of aura on Xiao Tian's body?"
"Sir, no. ”
“......”
"That's right. ”
A vague sigh dissipated into the air.
