People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

"Young Master, when you come to the capital, it is not as good as the Weibei Province."

"This is someone else's land..."

"The heirs and officials of the capital can be as arrogant as they want, and they are not targeting us in Nangao..."

"Here, here are some clothes to change into. Young Master, go wash off the dust and stop thinking about those troubles."

Zu Ju fiddled with the clothes in the luggage, picked out a few inconspicuous gowns for Liu Li, and placed them neatly on the edge of the bed.

Liu Li leaned against the rocking chair in the room. The window faced the bustling street, and the prosperous street scene of Zhendan was in full view.

Jing Yi Bo dropped the two off at a hotel and left. Before leaving, he specifically reminded them not to wander around and that he would come back tomorrow to take them to see Yuan Bo.

However, Jing Yi Bo's tone was very arrogant, as if he was ordering a servant, which made Liu Li very unhappy.

Zu Ju lived next door to him, so as soon as Jing Yi Bo left, she hurried over to give Liu Li psychological counseling.

"Alas, living under someone else's roof! Life has become so hard right from the start, what should I do in the future..." Liu Li sighed, turned to look at Zu Ju, and said seriously, "Aunt Zu, let's go back. We'll leave tonight."

Zu Ju didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She walked closer to Liu Li, stroked his hair, and sighed, "Young Master, please stop joking. It's only been a day."

After hearing this, Liu Li sighed again, then resignedly picked up the gown on the edge of the bed, walked into the inner room and started taking a bath.

Hearing the rustling sound of clothes being taken off coming from the inner room, Zu Ju breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the two arrived, they were intimidated by Jing Yi Bo. Zu Ju was used to it, but she was afraid that Liu Li would be so angry that she would throw a tantrum and ask to go home.

Fortunately, this young master was more reasonable than she thought and was just venting his resentment.

"By the way, Grandma." Liu Li's voice and the sound of dripping water floated out from the inner room, "I'll be in charge of making the bed from now on. You're my mother's soldier, not my babysitter."

"It's just a small favor. Since you have decided to follow the young master to the capital, I will naturally take good care of his daily life." As she spoke, Zu Ju had already finished packing her luggage.

"Oh, I'm not a child." Liu Li curled her lips.

Zu Ju smiled and asked, "But how is the young master's appearance different from that of an ordinary child?"

Liu Li was stunned for a moment, and then he felt his body up and down. Finally, he lowered his head and took a deep breath before answering, "But I am already an adult in my heart!"

"Then let's wait until the young master grows up." Zu Ju covered her mouth and chuckled. Liu Li rolled her eyes when she heard the laughter. She pointed at the bug in the bathtub with a vicious look on her face and muttered in a low voice: "It's you who made me lose face!"

"What is the young master saying?"

"Ahem." Liu Li blushed and quickly sat down in the water, changing the subject, "Aunt, I probably won't be able to return to school for another three to five years, so what about your position in the army? The officialdom is not like ordinary dealings. If you leave for too long, you might be excluded by others."

Hearing Liu Li's words, Zu Ju's face darkened and she sighed, "My identity as an aunt is already awkward. Now that the commander-in-chief is back in charge of Nan Gao, where can I go? Rather than continue to be an eyesore, I might as well follow the young master and travel around the country to make myself happy."

"It's Xue Xuan, right? That old guy! He's such a piece of shit! He even yelled at my great aunt before." Liu Li frowned and glared, then sneered, "Hehe, when I graduate and return to Nan Gao, Xue Xuan's good days will be over. No matter what size shoes he wears, I will definitely buy him a smaller size."

Zu Ju was already used to Liu Li's weird words. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her heart was warmed. She gently advised, "It has nothing to do with Master Xue."

"That's it..."

"Yes, young master, please don't really take revenge on Lord Xue when the time comes." Zu Ju breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Li looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Got it!"

"Huh?" Liu Li's sudden action made Zu Ju extremely confused.

"Aunt, let's just do this." Liu Li stood up from the bathtub and said with anticipation, "Anyway, I will definitely follow my mother to fight out of Changyuan in the future, so why not let Aunt come and serve as my military officer. When the time comes, I will ask my mother in person, and she will definitely agree."

Hearing Liu Li's words, Zu Ju suddenly showed a look of surprise. She remembered Xue Xuan's secret advice to her, but she didn't expect that the most critical step would come now.

If it were someone else, Zu Ju would still have some doubts.

But the person who said this was Liu Li, and Zu Ju had no reason to refuse.

Whether it is for his own future or the abnormal desire to protect deep in his heart.

Without any hesitation, Zu Ju agreed: "Okay!"

"Good!" Liu Li also cheered.

For him, being able to recruit an experienced soldier in advance was a good start for his big plan.

"There's never been such a wonderful start..." Liu Li was so excited that she twisted left and right in the bathtub and even hummed some little ditties at the end.

An hour later.

On the streets of Weijing, Liu Li strolled leisurely with Zu Ju, who had just bathed.

Liu Li was wearing a clean grey shirt. Although the colour was not eye-catching, her pretty face made up for her lack of temperament.

Zu Ju was wearing a light pink long dress with a white base and wide sleeves, and a blue ribbon tied around her waist. She exuded the elegance and nobility unique to a mature woman.

However, Zu Ju was still wearing her golden mask, which made the men on the street marvel at her while silently avoiding her gaze.

Liu Li keenly noticed the strange emotion in their eyes, not disgust, but fear.

Zuju comes from Tantric Buddhism. All the alchemists in Tantric Buddhism wear golden masks as a symbol of their identity.

Because of Binlong's strange behaviors, the profession of alchemist left an irreversible bad impression in the minds of the people of Zhendan.

Both men and women felt a little repulsed by Zu Ju's appearance.

The more indifferent Zu Ju's expression was, the more unhappy Liu Li looked at those people.

He wasn't stupid enough to ask Zuju why he was wearing a golden mask.

He chose the most manly approach.

What only a real eel would do is to take Zu Ju's hand, revealing what Liu Li thought was the coldest smile, and continue to despise everyone around him.

But in Zuju's eyes, it was a different look.

Liu Li first took her hand with a proud look on her face, then looked around with half-squinted eyes, with her little fangs showing from time to time at the corners of her mouth.

Just like a newborn puppy, it's eager to attack people.

So funny…

but.

so cute……

Zu Ju looked at Liu Li's tender profile. She could feel her blood flowing faster and her heart beating fast.

She swallowed calmly to prevent it from escaping from the corners of her mouth.
