Yaoguang Fairy Path

At noon, the sun was hot and bright, reflecting dazzling light on the stone road outside Li's house.

Ye Shuyao and Li Yuru walked side by side, their shadows stretched long by the sunlight, like two intertwined ribbons.

Suddenly, Ye Shuyao stopped, frowned slightly, and looked at Li Yuru, with a hint of confusion in her tone: "Yuru, I just noticed that those disciples call me Second Miss when they see me. What's going on?"

Li Yuru was slightly startled, then she covered her mouth and chuckled. Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.

She explained, "Oh, Yaoyao, I forgot to tell you in advance. Daddy has already announced to the clan that from now on, you are the second daughter of our Li family."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuyao was slightly stunned and then fell into deep thought.

She had not expected that Li Yunxiao would announce this decision to the outside world so suddenly, which made her both surprised and a little uneasy.

The sunlight was like fine golden silk, gently sprinkling on Ye Shuyao's face, making her skin appear as warm and crystal clear as white jade. Her eyes sparkled like morning dew in the sunlight.

Ye Shuyao slowed down her pace a little, and her eyes drifted inadvertently to Li Yuru beside her, with a hint of inquiry and doubt, but soon they were quickly retracted like clouds blown away by the wind.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Ye Shuyao's lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only uttered softly: "So that's how it is..." There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but also a hint of relief.

Seeing this, Li Yuru quickly reached out and held Ye Shuyao's hand. Her eyes were full of sincerity and comfort. "Yaoyao, don't feel pressured or worried. My father has already said that even if you become the second daughter of the Li family, you are only my good sister and their adopted daughter. The family will not make any demands on you or force you to do anything you don't want to do because of this status."

Hearing this, the uneasiness and doubts in Ye Shuyao's heart gradually dissipated like mist blown away by the wind.

She smiled gently, her smile as bright and charming as a newly blossomed flower: "Well, I understand. In fact, I already have some suspicions about this..."

Seeing that Ye Shuyao's expression finally relaxed, Li Yuru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I was really afraid that Ye Shuyao would feel uncomfortable or misunderstand because of my father's behavior, which would affect the deep friendship between them.

Now seeing Ye Shuyao's smile, Li Yu felt that his worries were really unnecessary. The two smiled at each other and continued to walk side by side, enjoying this rare quiet time in the warm sunshine.

At this moment, footsteps were heard behind him, accompanied by the voices of Qingfeng and Chu Mo: "Two junior sisters, where are you going?"

Ye Shuyao and Li Yuru turned around and saw Qingfeng and Chu Mo walking side by side from another direction, both with gentle smiles on their faces.

Li Yuru smiled slightly and replied, "We are just about to go for a stroll in the city. Senior Brother Qingfeng, Senior Brother Chu Mo, are you guys going too?"

Chu Mo patted the dust off his body, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue but determination: "We just came back from the Mist Hidden Forest. The eldest brother ordered us to take people there to guard the spiritual vein. Now we are preparing to go back."

Qingfeng and Chu Mo looked at each other, and a hint of tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.

Only then did they shift their gaze away from Li Yuru and notice the woman with extraordinary temperament and stunning appearance not far away.

Could she be the newly adopted daughter of his master and his wife?

She was standing quietly by the side at the moment, like a fairy who had descended to earth. Ye Shuyao's face was like a piece of jade that had been tempered through thousands of hammerings. Every line was smooth and soft, exuding an elegant and refined aura.

She was wearing a moon-white mermaid skirt, the hem of which was light and flowing, as if dyed with soft colors by the sun. The mermaid skirt swayed gently with her steps, like clouds dancing in the air, giving people a light and graceful feeling. Her posture was upright and elegant, and every step was like dancing. The graceful dance posture was intoxicating.

Qingfeng looked at Ye Shuyao in front of him, and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart. This person just stood there quietly, like the bright moon covered by light clouds, or like snowflakes dancing in the wind, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

He took the lead and stepped forward, his voice gentle but powerful: "So this is our new junior sister, what a pleasure to meet you. My name is Qingfeng, and this is our second senior brother Chu Mo."

Chu Mo also walked forward and stood side by side with Qingfeng. His gaze also lingered on Ye Shuyao for a moment, then he smiled and nodded in greeting.

Ye Shuyao nodded slightly, a smile as warm as a spring breeze blooming on her face. She bowed and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Hello, two senior brothers, I am Ye Shuyao, you can call me Shuyao."

Qingfeng nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "Junior Sister Shuyao, since you're new here, Second Senior Brother and I are familiar with Zhaoyang City. How about we accompany you and Junior Sister Yuru on a tour? That way, you can get familiar with the environment here."

Chu Mo also agreed: "Yes, Junior Sister, although Zhaoyang City is not big, it has some unique customs and beautiful scenery worth seeing. We will take you there now."

After hearing this, Ye Shuyao's eyes flashed with gratitude. She smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you two brothers."

So, the four of them set out on a journey to tour Zhaoyang City together.

Qingfeng and Chu Mo led the way, introducing the characteristics and interesting things in Zhaoyang City to Ye Shuyao and Li Yuru from time to time. Ye Shuyao and Li Yuru listened with great interest, expressing admiration and laughter from time to time.

Zhaoyang City is like an elaborately painted fairyland painting, displaying endless mystery and magnificence. The sky inside the city is shrouded in a faint glow, as if fairies are dancing in the clouds at any time.

The sun shines through the clouds and falls on the bluestone-paved streets, sparkling with golden light. On both sides of the streets, quaint pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner, with flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. Each one reveals a strong atmosphere of cultivating immortals.

The air is filled with a faint aura, which lingers above the city like clouds, giving people an otherworldly feeling.

Occasionally, you can hear the sound of bells and chimes coming from afar, which is melodious and beautiful, like the sound of nature, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In the lobby on the first floor of the magic weapon shop, the shopkeeper was following Ye Shuyao, Li Yuru, Qingfeng and Chu Mo enthusiastically.

Li Yuru turned to the shopkeeper and smiled, "Uncle Yang, please go and do your business. You don't have to follow us. Just arrange for an attendant to wait by the side."

Shopkeeper Yang bowed deeply and responded respectfully, "Okay, Miss, I'll take my leave now." His words revealed his deep respect for Li Yuru, and then he slowly retreated and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Li Yuru nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Ye Shuyao, her voice filled with anticipation: "Yaoyao, the instruments and robes on the second and third floors are quite special. How about we go pick some out together?"
