Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 19: Xiao Yanzi's Beauty

Ping Lili suddenly felt uneasy for no reason. She pondered for a moment. No matter what, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She saw that Tu Bie's complexion had improved slightly and it seemed that he was not seriously injured, but his mind was still a little fuzzy. So she ordered Qiongqi to take him back to the bed and let him lie down and rest. After thinking about it, she asked Ze Ze and Qiongqi to stay in the house together. She quickly went to the yard, summoned the Purple Cloud Beast, and set up the barrier and purple mist in the yard again.
No matter what, at least he had to find a way to hold on until Mo Yi and Yan Zheng came back. Although he didn't know who wanted to harm Tu Bie, since the elder entrusted this kid to his care that day, he had to protect him.
Just when Ping Lili thought he had the courtyard properly arranged, a teasing chuckle suddenly rang out from above his head: "You've wasted the Purple Cloud Beast like this, and you've also created a barrier with so many flaws. You're truly a remarkable person."
Ping Lili was startled. Who was this person? He could break the barrier he had carefully set up so silently, and even mock him like this. He must be extremely powerful!
With a slight flick of his fingertips, countless golden beams of light instantly left his hand, but he saw a white shadow flash before his eyes, and heard the voice say, "You Shamo wizards are all impatient. You start fighting without saying a word. Tsk tsk~"
Upon hearing the other party reveal his identity, Gong Lili became even more alert. This person was able to instantly break through the barrier carefully set up by the Purple Cloud Beast and himself, and was also able to dodge his attacks. His strength was not weak. If he was an enemy, it would be troublesome. However, judging from the tone of this person just now, it seemed that he did not have any great malice?
"I wonder who this expert is and what advice he has for you?" Gong Lili turned around and blocked the door of Tu Bie's room. No matter who the visitor was, it was important to protect everyone first. Gong Lili knew that this was not the time to engage in a quarrel of pride. He should first find out the other party's identity. If he could avoid taking action, that would be the best policy.
At this moment, a pure white figure floated and landed on the ground with a playful smile on his face.
When Gong Lili took a closer look, she saw that the man was dressed in plain white brocade clothes. He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had a very heroic look . His eyes were full of intelligence, and there was a hint of mischief at the corners of his mouth.
This was a woman dressed as a man, and although her voice was extremely androgynous, it had even given Ying Lili some misconception.
He looks around with a lively and heroic air, and has a bit of the air of a handsome young man in troubled times.
"I was just passing by and happened to notice someone setting up a barrier here. I am naturally interested in barriers, so I broke your barrier out of curiosity. It's just for fun, please don't mind, young lady." The other party spoke very frankly, and made it sound like she was breaking the barrier, as if it was just a game of three-year-old child playing house. Her eyes were now fixed on the purple cloud beast in Gong Lili's arms, as if she was more interested in the little guy.
A master who breaks barriers, a woman...
Suddenly, an absurd thought occurred to Yinglili. Could this person be the one they had gone through so much trouble to find? Unfortunately, Yan Zheng hadn't told her her name before, only a brief description of her situation, so it was a bit awkward to ask now.
However, Ping Lili decided to take a little risk and test the waters. Seeing that this woman was outspoken and seemed to have a cheerful personality, Ping Lili decided to play to her will and first admitted her identity to show her sincerity: "I heard you just talk about the Sha Mo Wizard. I am the Sha Mo Wizard. I just don't know what your relationship with the Sha Mo Wizard is?"
After hearing Gong Lili expose her identity as a woman disguised as a man and then frankly confess her identity as a Sha Mo wizard, the other party seemed a little surprised. In her impression, apart from that person, the other Sha Mo wizards were all very defensive and introverted. There were very few people as straightforward as the woman in front of her. Perhaps it was because she loved the woman and her family, she felt a little more favorable towards her for no reason. Since they were both straightforward people, she didn't bother to beat around the bush: "We don't have any connection. It's just that the person I like happens to be a Sha Mo wizard."
Upon hearing this, Yinglili's eyes suddenly lit up. She remembered that every time Yan Zheng mentioned this barrier master, he would show a tangled expression. That expression didn't seem to be annoying, but it seemed like he had some unspeakable secret. Could it be...
Is there any unknown story between Xiao Yanzi and this person?
Pinglili smiled brightly: "I wonder what the name of that lucky Shamo wizard is? Perhaps, we are old acquaintances."
When the other party heard this, she tilted her head slightly. Seeing the faint smile on Gong Lili's face and an expression of asking a question knowing the answer, she seemed to understand something. An open person would not do anything secretive. The fact that Yan Xiaoxiao liked that person was no longer a secret in Tangting. It seemed that all the regular customers of Tangting knew about the fact that she chased that person through the streets and alleys of Tangting.
It would be fine even if she told this woman from the Shamo tribe, and subconsciously, she had a hunch that the woman in front of her might really have some connection with that man, or maybe it was because her eyes were like that man's, clean and clear, without too much scheming.
Just as the woman was about to blurt out the name, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from above her head: "Yan Xiaoxiao, why are you here? It's been so hard for me to find you!"
Yan Zheng.
Although Yan Zheng had changed his appearance at this time, Yan Xiaoxiao recognized him immediately because he took the initiative to call out the other party's name and the familiar voice came out.
When Yan Xiaoxiao saw Yan Zheng, she was startled at first: "Are you looking for me?"
Seeing Yan Zheng nod seriously, she immediately narrowed her eyes, a smile spread across her face, and her brows instantly became stained with the sweet and innocent brightness of a little girl: "The sun is rising from the west today? Don't you always run away when you hear my name? Why did you take the initiative to come to me?"
As she spoke, she moved closer and closer, looking up at Yan Zheng, her long eyelashes almost brushing his face: "What do you want from me? Have you figured it out and decided to marry me?"
As soon as these words came out, Ying Lili's jaw dropped to the ground. She had always thought she was quite proactive, but she had never expected that there was someone in this world who was even more proactive and shameless than herself? She even chased someone until they ran away, just to get them to marry her?
Today, she finally opened her eyes. Seeing the conflicted and twitching expression on Yan Zheng's face, Gong Lili finally understood why he was so conflicted every time he mentioned this person. Thinking of the usually dull and silent Xiao Yanzi being chased away, Gong Lili actually laughed in her heart unkindly. Xiao Yanzi, oh Xiao Yanzi, could this be your calamity with beauty?
It turned out that this woman was Yan Xiaoxiao, the barrier master that Yan Zheng had mentioned before who could break all barriers in the world.
