"This is not right?" Wang Yuqi frowned and muttered to herself with a suspicious look on her face. She lowered her head slightly and lowered her voice deliberately, as if she was afraid of being heard by others. She continued to mutter: "Brother Wang Shi clearly said that his relative would arrive at noon, but now it's almost time... How come he is still nowhere to be seen? It's really strange!"

This middle-aged woman named Wang Yuqi is a branch of the Wang family's bloodline in the Central Region. Back then, she experienced all kinds of twists and turns and adventures, and by accident she ended up in the Northern Region, and eventually married into a relatively wealthy family there - the Li family.

Although the Li family is considered quite powerful among ordinary families, if compared with those families that focus on the cultivation of the mysterious master and have a deep cultural heritage, it is like a firefly compared to the bright moon, and it really pales in comparison.

……

"We have to find a place to stay first!" At this moment, Dongying slowly raised his head and stretched out a hand to block the dazzling and glaring afterglow of the evening.

The sunlight shone through the gaps between his fingers and fell on his face, reflecting his slightly worried expression, but the tone of his voice was extremely cold, as if it had no warmth at all.

"Still thinking about finding a place to stay! Don't you know that the money we use in the Central Region can't be used here in the Northern Region?" At this moment, Shang Ying, who was standing aside, was heard muttering with resentment on his face.

"Yes!" Dongying said loudly as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Ugh!"

"We still don't know what the currency used by the people in the Northern Territory looks like!" Dong Ying's tone suddenly became extremely heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

"You guy, are you pretending to be stupid on purpose, or do you really have such a bad memory?" At this time, Shang Ying couldn't help but speak again.

"Have you forgotten everything?"

He stared at Dong Ying with wide eyes, raised his voice and continued, "Didn't your uncle Wang Shi mention before that he has a sister who seems to live in the Northern Territory?"

"Besides, he has been running around for you, and he is almost exhausted!"

"You know, he wrote a letter from the Central Region specifically to his little sister who was far away in the Northern Region."

"Don't you think about it? The relationship between the Central Region and the Northern Region is not very good now. It is harder than climbing to the sky to communicate smoothly!"

"Besides, don't you remember that you wrote to him not long ago to tell him that you had arrived safely in the Northern Territory? As soon as he received your letter, he quickly handed the reply he had carefully prepared to his sister. Maybe now his sister is waiting for you on that bustling Rongma Street!" Shang Ying said, with a look of disappointment on his face, and he kept shaking his head, as if he saw everything clearly.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Dongying's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up with a burst of surprise, and he shouted excitedly.

“Wow, that’s great!”

"Oh, now that you mention it, I almost forgot!" Dongying slapped his head, his face full of regret.

"But...but where is Rongma Street? I have no idea!" Dongying blinked his big eyes and looked at Shangying pitifully, with a confused look on his face.

"Humph!" Looking at Dong Ying, who was totally directionally challenged, Shang Ying gritted his teeth in anger, clenched his fists tightly, and yelled in a bad mood: "Can't you ask for directions?"

……

"Mother, if that distant relative of yours isn't a handsome guy, I will definitely not give him a good look!" At this moment, the cute girl was seen pouting angrily, with an angry face, she inserted her slender hands into her slender waist, and shouted indignantly.

At this moment, a stern shout was heard: "Li Qiqi, I have to warn you!" It turned out that Wang Yuqi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Her expression suddenly became extremely serious, and even her tone changed drastically, becoming extremely stern, as if she was a different person.

Hearing her mother's harsh words, Li Qiqi couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She thought her willful words would make her mother furious. After all, from childhood to adulthood, she had never seen her mother so angry.

Thinking of this, Li Qiqi became more and more uneasy. Even if he hadn't seen Dong Ying at this moment, he hated Dong Ying very much. He was even prepared for his mother's violent scolding.

However, what she never expected was that what her mother said next was completely beyond her expectations.

Wang Yuqi's expression suddenly changed 180 degrees, from glaring eyes to a smile, and she said to her daughter happily: "Haha, my dear daughter, you really guessed it right this time! The elder brother I mentioned to you before, that is, your... oh no, it should be my elder brother. He specifically mentioned that this distant relative of his is so handsome and suave, and he has an enviable good appearance!"

"Ah?" When Li Qiqi saw her mother's sudden and drastic change, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of confusion, her mouth slightly open, and she subconsciously let out such an exclamation.

Then, she calmed herself down and continued, "Mom, why are you..."

"Huh——" At this moment, Li Qiqi couldn't help but stretch out her right hand and gently stroked the layer of fine cold sweat oozing from her forehead. She murmured to herself with lingering fear: "I thought... I thought you would be furious this time, I was scared to death." As she spoke, her eyes were still a little erratic, and it was obvious that she still felt guilty and scared in her heart.

"Aunt Wang!"

At this moment, a strange yet familiar voice suddenly came from behind them: "Is that you? Aunt Wang Yuqi!" The voice was like a thunder, exploding in the ears of the two people. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and handsome boy standing there, staring at them with his eyes.

"Ah!" Upon hearing this voice, Wang Yuqi was shocked at first, and then quickly turned her head away.

When she saw who was coming, she immediately showed an extremely surprised expression on her face, and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it. After a long while, she woke up from a dream and shouted, "Is it you? Xiao Dongying!" While shouting, she hurriedly walked towards Dongying, "The journey from the Central Region to the Northern Region is very long."

"You must have suffered a lot, right?"

In a blink of an eye, Wang Yuqi came to Dong Ying's side. Without even taking a breath, she quickly grabbed Dong Ying's arm and looked him up and down, while anxiously asking, "Kid, how have you been these years? Have you suffered any injustice?"
