Good luck every time

After hearing Xiaoman’s words, Li Ruyi touched her head.

"Don't worry, Second Sister has her own plan. Time is no longer the most important thing for us. No matter how many arrangements we make, they will be useless in the face of absolute strength. What we need is just the right amount."

Xiaoman didn't know what Li Ruyi was keeping in suspense, and she wanted to ask, but then she heard someone walking towards them.

She quickly shut her mouth and signaled Li Ruyi not to speak.

The two sisters were silent for a moment, and the footsteps stopped at their door.

After a few knocks on the door, the voice of Butler Ding Bai came from outside.

"Excuse me, is Miss Ruyi here?"

The butler's question was just a casual one. They knew better than anyone whether Li Ruyi was there or not. Otherwise, they could have met him by chance on the street and there was no need to knock on the door of the inn.

Li Ruyi winked at Xiaoman, who quickly walked over and opened the door.

"you are?"

Xiaoman reacted quickly. From her previous communication with Li Ruyi, she had already realized what kind of state she should maintain.

Li Ruyi is the only one who needs to be tactful. She should be sharper, more vigilant, and more ruthless towards everyone who comes to her.

The butler didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiaoman's attitude, and naturally he didn't notice anything unusual between the two sisters.

"I am Ding Zhong, and I am here on the orders of Sect Master Ding to deliver an invitation to Miss Ruyi!"

As he said this, he took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Xiaoman, as if he had no dissatisfaction with not being able to meet Li Ruyi.

Xiaoman took the invitation with both hands, nodded to him, and her attitude seemed to be a little friendlier, but still cold.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to my sister!"

The butler didn't insist. He delivered the invitation and left.

"Thank you for troubling Miss Li San. I will take my leave now!"

Xiaoman said politely.

"Butler, take care. I'll take you there!"

The butler quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"No need to be polite, people from the martial arts world. Miss Li San, please stay!"

Since he said you're welcome, Xiaoman didn't bother to be polite with him. She immediately stopped and watched him leave.

After the others completely disappeared from his sight, Xiao Ma turned back to his room, closed the door and showed the invitation to Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw that it was an invitation to the 60th birthday of Tiejian Villa and its owner.

I just mentioned coercion and inducement, and Ding Bai's inducement came immediately.

Xiaoman looked at the invitation, then looked at Li Ruyi and said worriedly.

"Isn't this the Hongmen Banquet?"

Li Ruyi smiled and nodded.

"Don't tell me it's true!"

Xiaoman was shocked when she heard this. She was just about to persuade Li Ruyi to run away and not go there, but she heard Li Ruyi continue to speak.

"But it's someone else's Hongmen Banquet. For us, it's probably just killing the chicken and scare the monkey at the same time!?"

Li Ruyi was not quite sure, because Tiejian Villa did not look like chickens, and they did not seem to have the strength of monkeys.

Xiaoman let out a long "Oh".

She understood that Ding Bai wanted to win over Li Ruyi, but did not want to pay too high a price.

In this case, why not bring Li Ruyi to the scene to observe for himself and see what happens to those who offend Ding Bai.

Xiaoman's eyes rolled and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Second sister, if I sneak out at night and tell the owner of Tiejian Villa this news, will there be something interesting happening later?"

Li Ruyi shook his head. Not to mention how the other party could believe Xiaoman, what would happen if he believed it?

His every move had long been exposed under Ding Bai's surveillance. How strong was the opponent on paper? How could Ding Bai not know?

Since they had decided to target him, they must have been fully prepared. Li Ruyi didn't think that a man who dared to kill his master to snatch resources and had been the head of Sect Leader Ding for so many years would be just a reckless man.

"Let's just do our own thing and not make trouble. The fate of Tiejian Villa is up to them to decide. It has nothing to do with us."

Xiaoman understood Li Ruyi's meaning and nodded.

"I understand, second sister!"

After saying that, she looked at Li Ruyi worriedly again.

"The more Second Sister knows about Ding Bai, the more worried I become. Can we really get revenge?"

Xiaoman is still too young, and the rules of the world are slowly unfolding before her. She has too many uncertainties and too much uneasiness.

Li Ruyi just wanted to make her understand the seriousness of the matter and did not want to scare her, so he patted her shoulder soothingly.

"What are you afraid of? We still have our second sister. When have you ever seen your second sister do something she is not sure of?"

Xiaoman was not trying to badmouth Li Ruyi, but after knowing about Ding Bai's situation, she began to doubt the gap in strength between the two sides.

"Is it really possible?"

Li Ruyi was not sure of winning. In everything, man proposes, God disposes.

"Others kill Ding Bai because they want his power, his money, or his connections, but we are different. We just want him to die!"

"We don't need to fight against his forces or his connections. If possible, we just need to lead him to the necessary place within the necessary time, and then we can find a way to kill him!"

Li Ruyi not only has a complete plan, but her plan has also been halfway implemented.

Next, it depends on when the most important chess piece enters the game.

Xiaoman didn't know much about these things, nor did she understand them deeply. She didn't know the source of Grandma Ding's hatred or her connections.

Li Ruyi couldn't let her know that Xiaoman was a very thoughtful child. If she knew too much, she might act on her own and ruin her plans.

Xiaoman also guessed Li Ruyi's purpose of hiding it from him and could only complain unhappily.

"You can't do everything on your own. I am the one with the highest martial arts skills, and I should be the one to avenge my master!"

Li Ruyi stared at her speechlessly.

"Do you still think I will seek revenge on my own?"

Xiaoman then relaxed and nodded.

"That's good! If you need me, don't force yourself."

"Got it, housekeeper!"

Xiaoman was satisfied and after thinking about it, she asked Li Ruyi.

"Are you still going to the Hongmen Banquet in five days?"

Knowing that it is a matter of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, it seems that it doesn’t matter whether you go or not!

Xiaoman was right about this matter. Ding Bai's purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was to win over Li Ruyi!

If Li Ruyi had shown his surrender directly, there would have been no need for the Hongmen Banquet. If he insisted on going again, it would have become a token of surrender, and it would have been difficult to resolve the matter without killing two people.

If Li Ruyi is unwilling to surrender, there will be many things waiting for him after the Hongmen Banquet!

On the contrary, it would be wise to find a way to leave at this moment, which can ease the conflict between the two parties and delay the time longer.

Li Ruyi pondered for a moment. The purpose of her trip had been achieved. As for the matter of Jiuchuan Gang buying and selling information, it seemed that there was not much chance at the moment.

Ding Bai will definitely leave this matter for later processing, depending on Li Ruyi's attitude.

It would be fine if he didn't like the Jiuchuan Gang, but if he did, Li Ruyi, his ally, would probably be lost.

"Well, there's no good banquet, it would be nice to be able to go back!"

Unfortunately, it’s hard to say how or whether I can go back.

She can only go back if Ding Bai lets her go. If Ding Bai doesn't let her go, she won't have a peaceful journey.

Xiaoman also sighed. It was indeed too difficult to shake such a huge monster by one person.

"Then go ahead. It's just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, not killing the chicken and the monkeys!"

Li Ruyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Sometimes Xiaoman's ideas were quite wild.

"That's true. We don't deserve to be taken too seriously. Making a warning to others is just a side job!"

Ding Bai didn't even bother to ask Li Ruyi whether he was willing to serve under me and be used by me. Instead, he directly sent him an invitation to let him see what he would do if he was unwilling.

Of course, this is not only to prevent Li Ruyi from being unwilling, but also to prevent Li Ruyi from being willing.

If she doesn't want to, just scare her. If she wants to, you should let Li Ruyi see the consequences of being dishonest.

When this person reaches a certain level, everything he does may seem easy and gentle, but every step he takes is filled with murderous intent.

But Ding Bai's behavior made Li Ruyi even more excited.

Think about the enemies standing between her and Han Shian, think about such a huge and complicated force.

Ding Bai's hatred is nothing more than that.

"Let's do what we need to do these few days. Continue to look for sources of goods. I'll see if there are any suitable items and have them transported back to Jiuchuan Lane. Although we are here for revenge, we also need to live."

Xiaoman agreed without showing any sadness or joy.

A few days passed in a flash, and there was no progress on Li Shan's side.

Li Ruyi actually received the invitation, so he prepared a gift for Master He. Although he knew it was just to scare someone, he still put a lot of effort into preparing the gift.

All their actions were seen by the butler, who would occasionally talk to Ding Bai about them, but most of the time, Ding Bai didn't care at all.

In his opinion, if a matter can be handled simply, it will never be complicated.

Just like back then, killing the master and senior brothers was much easier than secretly seizing power.

Because the source of goods was good these days, she had sent the people from Li Ruyi's caravan back one after another.

The people from the Jiuchuan Gang were also accompanying them, and there were not many left.

Now, only the four people who went to Tiejian Villa earlier, namely Li Ruyi, Xiaoman, Li Shan and Huang Wenfeng.

There is no need for four people to stay in a hotel like this!

One night in advance, Li Ruyi came to visit with a visiting card.

Tiejian Villa is extremely bustling. When guests come to visit, there will be a steward to receive them and send them to the guest house.

Hearing that Li Ruyi's visiting card came from Ding Bai, the servants who received her looked at the four people with a slightly subtle look.

Normally, if some people of status in the underworld come to visit, the owner of Tiejian Villa will always go to meet them in person.

But when it came to Li Ruyi, he was overly distant and polite. After settling them in the guest house and serving them fresh meals, no one came to ask about them anymore.

Li Shan was somewhat annoyed at their neglect, but he actually knew in his heart that the Jiuchuan Gang was a small force that could not be considered prominent, and Li Ruyi might be looked up to only if he came alone.

Li Ruyi guessed what Li Shan was thinking, but did not refute it.

After Xiaoman checked that the things sent by Tiejian Villa were non-toxic, they started eating.

After eating and drinking, no one left the stage, so Li Ruyi stopped caring.

She and Xiaoman jumped onto the roof of the guest house and stood with their hands behind their backs.

In the distance, some courtyard was brightly lit and bustling with activity, as if there was a dinner party tonight.

Of course, it was lively over there, and it was also lively over here. Li Ruyi stood there and saw several waves of men in black passing by her.

Two of them jumped onto her roof, but when they saw her and Xiaoman, they were so scared that they jumped away.

Xiaoman curled her lips.

"This group must be thieves!"

If the people arranged by Ding Bai were not so incompetent, they would have discovered the two of them standing here long ago.

If they were disciples of Tiejian Villa, they would not come here at all. They would just walk around in the yard openly.

Only those thieves who want to pick up some bargains when things are busy will run around.

Li Ruyi did not deny it and looked at the sky again.

"This Iron Sword Villa is really lively. It's much bigger than the blacksmith's shop. They both make weapons, but the difference is huge!"

It's just a pity!

After hearing Li Ruyi's sigh, Xiaoman fell silent and asked after a long time.

“Being famous has its own pains, and ordinary people have their own mediocrity!”

"Some people envy the He family for having enjoyed wealth and glory, and they also think that having lived a life of wealth and glory is not in vain."

"Second sister, what do you think?"

Li Ruyi’s goal was very clear. What Xiao Ma said was not within her consideration. She wanted to kill Ding Bai right now, and then protect Han Shian.

Besides, she had her own ideals. She wanted to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Da Qi and travel around as a woman. As for wealth and glory, they were not important to her.

"how about you?"

This period of time was somewhat turbulent for Xiaoman.

The wish she made earlier in Sanjia Village was a little too ridiculous.

She knew that what people have experienced will always leave traces on them, and no matter how much they want to go back, they can no longer go back.

Xiaoman looked at the lights in the distance, and suddenly a sense of strength rose in her heart.

"I have been through some things and thought a lot. I always feel that I am happiest when I teach my children to write!"

"Going out into the world sounds like a very cool thing, but I don't seem to like it very much!"

Xiaoman witnessed the fighting and killing in the martial arts world, and saw the other side behind their unrestrained and carefree appearance.

She understood that the fascinating visions in those stories always remained in other people's fantasies, while the sadness of real experiences was what a man of the world had to face every day.

The law of the jungle here not only makes the world seem cold and harsh, but also makes people seem like uncivilized animals.

Xiaoman killed an innocent girl with that knife.

I also killed an innocent person myself!

"Second sister, I forgot which year it was, but I remember asking you why there was no girls' school in Da Qi!"

"Now that I think about it, I already had expectations in my heart at that time."

"Once this matter is over, I want to go back to being Mr. Xiaoman!"
