To make a name for oneself in the martial world, one must be cautious of foolish individuals. Since I am not involved in the martial world, I naturally have no dealings with their benefits. If there are no losses to be had, why risk my life for it?
I have always enjoyed reading tales of the martial world, but after experiencing it firsthand, I feel disappointed. Is this really what the martial world is like? It's nothing remarkable; the skills are mediocre, and the character is even less impressive.
After Li Cu finished his complaints, Sang Qingxiao laughed and said, "Did you not notice that among the Jianghu People who surrounded us yesterday, the oldest was merely middle-aged? The real old masters are all sitting at home."
If I were to encounter such high-level experts, I wouldn't know what my chances of winning would be.
So, is there still fun to be had in the martial world? Are the stories exaggerated just to attract attention? Li Cu began to yearn again, wishing to experience it all.
"Xiaoxiao, shall we head back to the capital now? But I haven't had enough fun yet—actually, I haven't had much fun at all."
Sang Qingxiao indulged him, "Then how about we play while heading back? Right next door is Huzhou, famous for its shrimp and crabs. Autumn is the best season for river delicacies; let's consider it a shopping trip."
Li Cu dashed downstairs, happily calling for Misha and others to set off immediately.
As Sang Qingxiao slowly descended to the first floor, she saw Qi Xiaomian eating breakfast alone in the lobby.
Before Sang Qingxiao could ask anything, Qi Xiaomian explained, "The people from Qilang Escort Ouyang Family have returned to the capital. Qi Shuo went with Ouyang Madam to meet with the Yin Family. I'm left all alone—how pitiful."
Sang Qingxiao couldn't see what was so pitiful about it. "Why didn't you go with them?"
"You told me to keep a low profile."
Sang Qingxiao chuckled, "Is that what you do whenever I say something?"
"It's mainly because Miss Sang suggested it. I was too high-profile recently and even overshadowed some of the Princes. Although it's partly because they lack ability, as a Minister, one should have some awareness. So I've decided to take a break."
"And where do you plan to take this break?"
"I heard that Miss Sang intends to enjoy herself all the way back?"
Sang Qingxiao feigned seriousness. "It's for shopping."
Qi Xiaomian nodded. "Huzhou's crabs and shrimp are indeed famous; every year around this time they are sent as tribute to the palace."
The quality is exceptional and comes from only a few lakes that have long been reserved. If Miss Sang wants to try them, I'm afraid—
"Are you trying to show off your power and status, Yongxin Marquis?"
"How could I dare? My little reputation is nothing compared to what Miss Sang can easily use."
Qi Xiaomian pulled her down into a seat and arranged her bowl and chopsticks. "This porridge here is quite good; you should give it a try."
Sang Qingxiao responded politely, making the pickled vegetables even more appealing.
After speaking, she turned to him and asked, "Have you really found some free time?"
He indeed needed to handle some matters and requested her to provide a cover.
"Alright, I won't ask too much. I'll cover your food and lodging expenses."
