Chapter 270: Accepting the Xue Sisters

After packing up your things, throw all the packages into the Qiankun bag.

He was wearing simple casual clothes and had the Longyuan sword on his back.

Having stayed in the Yao family for a long time, he felt a little nostalgic when he left. After all, the Yao family took good care of him and provided him with thoughtful care in daily life.

But I can’t stay here for long, and I have to leave eventually.

The Xue sisters had been arranged to stay in an inn outside the Yao family's house, and he was ready to go and meet them.

But when Li Daoxuan just walked out of the door, he was stopped by a little girl.

She was wearing a small mandarin jacket, a horse-faced skirt, and two pigtails. She had a sad look on her face.

"Are you leaving?" Yao Jinyu asked pitifully.

She was very happy these days with Li Daoxuan around, flying kites and playing. She was happier than ever.

But she didn't expect that Li Daoxuan was going to leave at this moment, and she was very reluctant to let him go.

"Yes, Brother Daoxuan still has things to do." Li Daoxuan squatted down and looked at Yao Jinyu with a smile.

He knew the little girl's personality. Although she always seemed like a naughty and playful child, she was also very sensible. It was just that she was too lonely being alone at home.

"Will Brother Daoxuan come back?" Yao Jinyu asked again.

"Yes, I will come back." Li Daoxuan nodded.

"Pink." She stretched out her little finger and placed it in front of Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I really can't do anything about you." After saying that, he stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Yao Jinyu's fingers, and the two of them hooked their fingers.

Yao Jinyu's childish voice rang out, echoing in the quiet courtyard.

"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"

When Li Daoxuan left, Mrs. Yao personally saw him off. She was reluctant to let him go and tried to persuade him to stay for a few more days. However, Li Daoxuan was determined to leave and refused to give in no matter what Mrs. Yao said. In the end, she could only give him some money and asked him to take good care of himself on the way.

"If you have time, remember to come back and see Aunt Yao." Madam Yao sighed, "Today, Erlang told me that he wanted to go to the capital, and I agreed."

"Erlang also has ambitions." Li Daoxuan replied with a smile.

"Yes, now that you two have left, I, an old lady, feel a little lonely." Madam Yao said, "I still can't bear to see you go."

"I will come back to see you, Aunt Yao." Li Daoxuan held Madam Yao's hand and looked at her and said, "Besides, Aunt Yao, you look so young, how can you be an old woman? Even ordinary unmarried women are not as good as you."

"You are such a sweet talker, boy." Madam Yao said happily, "Go, go, take good care of yourself on the way, and when you see your master, take good care of Aunt Yao. Just remember Aunt Yao."

"Don't worry, Aunt Yao, I will never forget you no matter who I forget!"

Li Daoxuan got on the carriage and waved to Mrs. Yao. Amidst everyone's farewells, he gradually went away from the Yao family.

The driver shouted and drove the carriage, while he looked at the scenery outside.

Yangzhou is full of greenery at this moment.

Perhaps because the weather was getting warmer, women began to walk on the streets in thin coats.

The further you go to the street, the more lively it becomes.

There were people shouting, singing, performing acrobatics, and everything else.

The streets were lined with flags, and people of all kinds were coming and going, gathered on both sides.

As the carriage passed by, the old black and white photos in Li Daoxuan's memory now appeared vividly before his eyes.

This was the society of the late Qing Dynasty, and also the afterglow of that feudal dynasty. When the carriage stopped, Li Daoxuan got out, patted the bulging backpack on his back, and a snow-white rabbit jumped out and onto his shoulder.

After saying goodbye to the coachman, he went straight into the inn.

After asking for the room number, Li Daoxuan quickly found the residence of the Xue sisters.

He reached out and knocked on the door three times, and Xue Yurong's voice came from inside.

"Who?!"

"It's me." Li Daoxuan replied.

Hurry footsteps were heard and the door creaked open. Xue Yurong was seen combing her messy hair and looking at him with a look of surprise on her fair face.

"Master Li, why are you here?"

"I'll come to pick you up after I finish my work today." Li Daoxuan looked into the house and saw Xue Yuyan also combing her hair. She heard the conversation between the two and quickly hid aside with the comb in her hand.

"Please come in." Xue Yurong invited, and Li Daoxuan walked into the house without hesitation, but deliberately avoided her gaze and looked into the empty space.

The room was very clean, without the messiness of someone living there. It was obvious that Xue Yurong had been well-educated, and even these details were well taken care of.

She asked Li Daoxuan to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, placed it in front of him, and then stood beside him coquettishly, like a maid serving the master of the house, not daring to overstep the mark in the slightest.

"Are you used to living here?" Li Daoxuan asked.

"I'm used to it. It's better than living in a cage." Xue Yurong replied, and Li Daoxuan also knew what she was talking about.

That experience may have left her with some trauma. After all, it was such a scary place that anyone who had been there once would not want to go there a second time.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Li Daoxuan asked again.

"I don't know either." Xue Yurong lowered her head and said softly.

She really didn't know what she should do in the future. She and her younger sister were both girls, and so young. Having outstanding looks was not a good thing for her. After all, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Sometimes being beautiful is a crime.

Now that she can’t find her relatives and doesn’t know where to go, the world is so big, but Xue Yurong feels that she can find a place to stay.

"In that case, you sisters might as well follow me." Li Daoxuan put down the teacup, looked up at Xue Yurong and said seriously.

Xue Yurong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and a trace of struggle and helplessness appeared on her fair face.

Li Daoxuan was also puzzled by her expression, but the girl remained silent, so he could only wait quietly for her answer.

Xue Yurong was extremely conflicted. She looked at her younger sister and then at herself, closed her eyes and asked softly, "If both of us sisters follow you, how will you arrange for us?"

"I have a villa in Yangzhou. You can live there and help me take care of it." Li Daoxuan smiled when he heard her say that.

He was just thinking that if the Xue sisters did not agree to this, he would not force them. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and he would not force anyone.

If Xue Yurong was unwilling, I would not feel at ease even if I had arranged everything.

"It seems that you have already made up your mind, Master Li." Xue Yurong sighed lightly, with some worry in her eyes, "If you want both sisters to follow you, then I have another request. I wonder if Master Li can agree to it?"

"Tell me, what are your requests?" Li Daoxuan asked frankly.

Xue Yurong stared at Li Daoxuan's eyes for a long time, then she opened her red lips and said word by word, "If Master Li is tired of us two sisters, please let us go."

"Don't worry, I'm not a black-hearted person. If that day really comes, I will definitely give you enough money to live on for the rest of your life." Li Daoxuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xue Yurong breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed gently to Li Daoxuan and said softly, "I hope Master Li can have mercy on us sisters."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly." Li Daoxuan continued.
