Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 17: Yan Tingzhi, who is even inferior to a little girl
“Squeak.”
In the not-so-big guest room, the wooden door was pushed open neither lightly nor heavily.
Li Si walked into the room holding a bowl.
On the bed, Bai Yaoer was sitting with her hair loose, leaning against the headboard.
The dirt on her face had been washed away, revealing her original pretty appearance. Her eyebrows were lowered, her teeth were lightly biting her light red lips, and her expression looked a little complicated.
She must have had good rest these days, as her face has regained some color.
Although she still looks a little sickly, she also has a bit of the flavor of a sick beauty.
When she noticed Li Si coming in, she seemed even more uncomfortable, and her eyes inadvertently turned away, as if she would not see him that way.
Ignoring Bai Yaoer's little action, Li Si casually placed the bowl on the cabinet beside her.
"Drink it. Your body has recovered well. You should be fine tomorrow."
Bai Yaoer slowly moved her gaze to the bowl. After a while, she slowly picked up the wooden bowl, lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
"Thank you. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you..."
Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm.
His eyes were fixed on the porridge in the bowl with an indescribable look in his eyes.
"This is the sixth time you've said this in the past three days."
Li Si said with a pursed mouth, seeming to be nonchalant.
"If you really want to repay me, I still have the same request. From now on, don't chase me or bother me anymore."
He didn't know how this girl did it. She appeared in the place where he stayed again and again, and even Yan Tingzhi couldn't chase her so closely.
Could it be that she has an intelligence network wider than the Six Gates?
But if she really had such great power, how could she have fallen to such a state?
Li Si couldn't understand, but Bai Yaoer had already responded to his request.
"Sorry, this won't work..."
Without even thinking about it, I knew she would give this answer.
Li Si rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said.
"Forget it. You can't catch me anyway, so go ahead and chase me if you want."
He had already given up trying to persuade Bai Yaoer to stop.
She doesn't even worry about her own life, so why should he, an outsider, worry about her?
Bai Yaoer nodded and gently stroked the edge of the bowl with her hand holding the porridge bowl.
The room was quiet, and voices from the street could be heard outside the window.
It's strange.
In this inn on a Jiangnan street, the warmth from the bowl of porridge inexplicably gave her a sense of security.
She has been wandering around for a long time.
Li Si ignored Bai Yaoer, pulled his robe, and sat down on the couch by the window.
He slept here for the past three days. In order to avoid attracting more attention, he didn't even go to get another room.
If he was the only one here, he certainly wouldn't have to care about these things, but now there's another guy who's eating and drinking for free.
It’s better not to let those people think that she is involved with me , so as not to harm her.
The room became quiet, with raindrops dripping from the half-open window.
Suddenly, Bai Yaoer, who was sitting on the bed, spoke.
"Li Si."
"Hmm?" Li Si, who was leaning against the window, closed his eyes and responded in a muffled voice.
Troubles came one after another, and even he couldn't laugh anymore.
It's true that he likes interesting things, but if this interesting thing will bring a lot of trouble, he would rather do nothing.
"How did you become so powerful?" Bai Yaoer asked, sitting down with the porridge in his hand.
Li Si moved his body, found a more comfortable position to lean against, and asked lazily.
“Am I awesome?”
Bai Yaoer nodded affirmatively.
"There are so many people in the martial arts world, but none of them can catch you. You must be very powerful..."
Li Si did not deny it, because he also felt that he should be quite powerful.
After thinking about it briefly for a while, he answered casually.
"Maybe it's because I've been playing with monkeys in the mountains since I was a kid, so my Qinggong is particularly good."
"Monkey?" Bai Yaoer opened her mouth in surprise. Why was he playing with a monkey? This made her curious about Li Si's life experience.
However, she also knew that they had just met for a short time, and it was inappropriate to ask about her background, so she asked instead.
"Those, monkeys, are they easy to get along with?"
"Yeah." Li Si responded without thinking, then smiled again and turned his head to look at Bai Yaoer.
"Compared to humans, they are much easier to get along with."
"Really?" Bai Yaoer was a little confused. How could monkeys be easier to get along with than humans?
But then, she seemed to understand some of the meaning behind Li Si's words.
He must be making fun of himself. Compared to someone as difficult as himself, the monkey is indeed much easier to get along with.
Bai Yaoer pursed her lips and smiled, a rare ordinary smile on her face, then she laughed out loud, and finally, she admitted it.
"Yeah, it's much easier to get along with."
She was indeed a difficult person to get along with, she did not deny that.
However, Bai Yaoer did not understand the other meaning of Li Si's words.
In Li Si's opinion, monkeys are easier to get along with than humans, and this includes not just her, but most people.
Because even the smartest monkey is not one-tenth as complex as a human.
But Li Si is a person who likes simplicity, whether it is towards animals or people.
"Hmm." Bai Yaoer must have been in a better mood. She took a sip of porridge and complained while covering her mouth.
"It's so dull."
"Want to eat something delicious?" Li Si said in a nonchalant tone, crossing his legs.
"Give me money. I don't have money to buy you any delicacies."
"Tsk, you're a thief king, yet you're so poor." Bai Yaoer secretly made a face and muttered softly.
But with Li Si's good hearing, no sound could escape his ears.
He immediately glanced at Bai Yaoer and said quietly.
"Is this the tone you use to speak to your benefactor?"
Bai Yaoer shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue knowing she was in the wrong, stopped talking, and drank the porridge obediently.
She also knew that she should be respectful to her benefactor.
But she didn't know why, when she saw Li Si's face, she couldn't help but say a few words.
Maybe it's because Li Si was born with this thief-like look, so he is so annoying.
…
At the same time, outside the inn where Li Si and Bai Yaoer were staying, several secret sentries quietly retreated.
Li Si has been here for three whole days. Even if the people from the martial arts world are slow, some of them have already caught up with him.
However, because Li Si deliberately hid, not many people discovered him, only about two or three teams.
Of course, these people also noticed Bai Yaoer.
Most people think that she is just an insignificant person.
However, some people also think that she would be a pawn that can be used.
