Chapter 197: Can’t afford it
"Okay!" Li Tianba nodded and waved at Li Ruoling: "Ling'er, go quickly. Your grandfather must have some rules for entering the Tianyuan Holy Land that he wants to explain to you in advance. Don't keep your grandfather waiting for too long."
"Yes!" Li Ruoling nodded: "Dad, Mom, I'll go then."
Li Ruoling hurriedly followed the fifth senior brother.
As soon as she walked out of the backyard, Li Ruoling saw her fifth senior brother walking in the opposite direction of Li Yuanchun's residence. She immediately frowned and asked, "Where is Master?"
"What Grandmaster?" Fifth Senior Brother curled his lips and said, "Ninth Senior Sister, actually it's not Grandmaster who has something important to ask you, it's Brother Fei who has something important to ask you!"
"Ah?" Li Ruoling was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately said with disdain: "Fifth Senior Brother, when did Ye Fei become your master's master!"
Fifth senior brother: "..."
"If I, I don't say that, Master, will you let me go?" The fifth brother said with a stern face.
"Why is he looking for me? What other important matter could he have to ask me for?" Li Ruoling curled her lips in disdain.
"He told me to stop you and told you not to go to Tianyuan Holy Land, otherwise something bad would happen. I think he was in a hurry. Do you think there is any danger in Tianyuan Holy Land?"
"My grandfather went in with me, how dangerous could there be?" Li Ruoling curled her lips.
“I don’t know the details.” The fifth brother spread his hands and said, “However, you should know Brother Fei better than I do. Although Brother Fei is sometimes unreliable and doesn’t play by the rules, he generally never jokes casually.
And when he said this today, he was particularly anxious. You should know him. Under normal circumstances, he would remain calm no matter what happened. Nothing could make him so anxious."
"What kind of magic potion did he feed you? Why do you like to use his words when you speak now?" Li Ruoling curled her lips.
"Is that so?" Fifth Brother looked confused.
"Reliable, he doesn't play by the rules. If you didn't learn these words from him, then who did you learn them from?" Li Ruoling curled her lips in disdain.
“Haha…” The fifth brother smiled and said, “It seems so!”
"Give him the gift I asked you to give. What did he say after seeing the gift?" Li Ruoling asked.
"As soon as I saw him, he told me to stop you. I saw that he was so anxious and was afraid that I would not be able to stop you in time, so I went to find you first. I haven't had time to give him the gift yet." While the fifth brother was speaking, he took out the sandalwood box and handed it to Li Ruoling:
"Since you are planning to go see him yourself, you should give it to him yourself! Ninth sister, no matter what, you have said that you will not come out of seclusion until someone from Tianxuan Hospital comes to pick you up. When you come out, I am afraid you will not have time to see him for the last time. Maybe this is God's will. You should go and see him one last time!"
Li Ruoling hesitated for a moment. This time, she finally nodded and took the sandalwood box: "Let's go. Where is he?"
"He should still be waiting for us at the gate." said the fifth brother.
"Take him to the old place, I'll wait for you there, so that my grandfather and others won't see us and scold me again." Li Ruoling said.
"Okay!" Fifth Brother left in a hurry.
A few miles away from the back mountain of Tianyuan Sect, there is a small hill called Cuizhu Peak.
The whole mountain is covered with bamboo. It is said that an ancestor of the Tianyuan Sect only planted one bamboo. Later, more and more bamboos grew, and the whole mountain turned into a bamboo forest.
The strange thing is that these bamboos are limited to this mountain. The bamboo shoots never cross the boundary, and there is never a single bamboo in other places connected to it.
When he was a child, Ye Fei always liked to come to Tianyuan Sect to play with Li Ruoling and his fifth senior brother when they were practicing martial arts. The place the three of them liked to come most was Cuizhu Peak.
The reason why Li Ruoling chose this place to meet Ye Fei for the last time was because she also wanted to make a complete break with Ye Fei and the past here.
Li Ruoling waited for more than ten minutes, and then saw Ye Fei and the fifth senior brother coming from a distance.
"Brother Fei, can't you tell me first why you are so anxious to ask me to stop Ninth Junior Sister? Why on earth can't Ninth Junior Sister be allowed to go to Tianyuan Holy Land?"
On the way to Cuizhu Peak, Fifth Brother had asked this question countless times, but Ye Fei always said, "You must not go anyway."
Ye Fei glanced at him and smiled slightly: "You will know soon."
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of Li Ruoling.
Li Ruoling was wearing a white long dress and holding the small sandalwood box containing the Qilin leaf in her hand. At this moment, she had her back to Ye Fei and the fifth senior brother, and was looking up at a large nanmu bamboo.
She once flew up to the middle part of the bamboo, which was seven or eight meters above the ground, and carved a string of tiny words with a dagger: Li Ruoling will be with Ye Fei forever.
Only she knew this string of small words, neither Ye Fei nor the fifth senior brother knew it.
Hey, I should erase this string of small words later...
Hearing the footsteps of Ye Fei and Fifth Senior Brother coming up behind her, she put her hands behind her back, slowly turned around, and first glanced at a large bluestone next to her that was three feet square and about one foot thick. When they were young, the three of them often played Landlord here.
This large bluestone was slowly moved from several hundred meters away by her and her fifth senior brother with the help of five or six fellow brothers when she was ten years old, just so that she could play Landlord with Ye Fei in the bamboo forest.
Thinking back to the time when the three of us were together in this bamboo forest, there are still many good memories.
Li Ruoling shook her head secretly, deliberately interrupting the memories in her mind, then turned her head and looked at Ye Fei coldly.
Ye Fei was also wearing a white gown today. He was much more pleasing to the eye now than before when he had pockmarks on his face. Actually, he couldn't be described as very handsome, at least not the type with outstanding looks. But to Li Ruoling, he was very pleasing to the eye, even a little amazing to her.
"I heard from my fifth senior brother that you asked him to stop me and told me not to go to Tianyuan Holy Land?" Li Ruoling looked at Ye Fei coldly: "Why!"
"Yes, you can tell me why now, right?" The fifth brother looked at Ye Fei expectantly.
"Hehe..." Ye Fei suddenly grinned and glanced at the large bluestone next to him. He walked over and sat cross-legged on the ground. He took out his deck of animal skin playing cards from his arms and slapped them on the table. He smiled at Li Ruoling and said, "You are going to practice in seclusion. Who will play with me for this month? I am short of one player for Landlord!"
Ye Fei pointed at the animal skin poker on the table and said, "Come on, play a few rounds. Don't you want to make a comeback?"
Li Ruoling: “…”
Fifth senior brother: "..."
"You, you asked me in such a hurry to stop Ninth Junior Sister and tell her not to go to Tianyuan Holy Land, just because you were worried that no one would play Landlord with you?" Fifth Senior Brother's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What else?" Ye Fei said with disdain: "Is there anything more important than the lack of one player in Landlord 2?"
"Psycho!" Li Ruoling cursed with disgust and turned away.
He threw the sandalwood box in his hand directly into the storage ring.
This bastard doesn't deserve to own the Qilin Leaf.
However, at this moment, Ye Fei suddenly said: "If you don't play with me, you have to pay me back the 65,500 you owe me!"
Li Ruoling stopped instantly, turned around, and glared at Ye Fei fiercely: "You..."
"If you want to play with me, I won't pay you back!" Ye Fei said, "How about that? Is that good enough?"
……
Half an hour later.
Li Ruoling stood with one foot on the ground and the other on the large bluestone, and threw four cards fiercely: "Explode! Four sevens are a big deal? I'll give you four nines!"
Ye Fei: "I have four Ks! Double!"
Li Ruoling: "I have four 'guns', I will blow you to death, report single! Haha, let's see if you can survive this time? I have already played the 'Little King', you report double, do you still have double kings to blow? Hahaha..." Li Ruoling looked at the fifth senior brother: "Fifth senior brother, this is already five explosions, haha, we won big this time."
"Then win more!" The fifth brother threw out four cards excitedly: "Four twos!"
Li Ruoling looked at his fifth senior brother who was sitting above him with a look of shock: "Fifth brother, you idiot, why did you blow me up? Are you crazy? He is the landlord!"
The fifth brother looked disdainful: "I know, if I blow it up, won't I have one more explosion? I'm above you, what are you afraid of? I can still send you away if I blow you up!"
After Fifth Brother finished speaking, he threw out a card fiercely: "Ninth sister, a mistress, haha, we won big this time, a total of six bombs, hahahaha..."
Li Ruoling was obviously stunned for a moment, and then immediately stared at the fifth senior brother with a murderous look on her face.
Seeing Li Ruoling's expression, the smile on Fifth Brother's face gradually froze. He swallowed hard and asked weakly, "Ninth Sister, you, you are not reporting a mistress, are you?"
Li Ruoling: "What do you think?"
Ye Fei: "Li Ruoling, it's your turn. Do you want it or not?"
Li Ruoling: "I can't bear it!"
Li Ruoling continued to stare at Fifth Brother coldly.
At this moment, she actually still held a glimmer of hope for her fifth senior brother.
Because she knew that Fifth Brother only had five or six cards in his hand.
If only Brother Five had one more bomb...
Ye Fei: "My lord! Submit the order!"
Fifth Brother: "Yes, I can't afford it..."
