"Elder sister, look at how lively I am right now. Is there something wrong?" But you, where did you go? We've been looking for you, but there's no trace of you. "

Wu Kong looked at Luo Li Ya with a worried expression. Luo Li Ya then told Wu Kong and Zi Ruo about what happened to the moon spirit. The two of them let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, it's currently difficult to live in peace between the Brilliant Fire Nation and the Blue Water Nation. If we argue over this matter, we'll instead be found by the Fire Nation. At that time, there will inevitably be a bloodbath." Seeing Wu Kong's sullen expression, Luo Liya could not help but advise.

If they didn't know what to say, they might provoke a new round of conflict between the two countries. The war had just ended, and the people had not yet recovered from their depression, so they could not suffer the war anymore.

Wu Kong also felt that what Luo Liya said was reasonable, so she gradually restrained the hostility on her face. Luo Liya then turned her gaze to the Moon Spirit and Zi Ruo, "Moon spirit, are you willing to spend the new year in River City? Right now, it will take us a few days to return to the Snow Village. By then, we might not be able to make it in time for the academy to start school, so we might as well stay here. After the end of the year, we can travel together. "

Luo Liya's tone was very sincere. When the moon spirit heard her words, it showed some hesitation on its face. It didn't know if it should agree or not, so it shifted its hesitant gaze to Zi Ruo.

"I'll listen to you." "En, then let's celebrate the new year here. In any case, we will be going back to the academy in a few days, and at that time there will be someone to take care of us. After this incident, I realized that the martial arts world is truly dangerous, and there are treacherous intentions everywhere.

Luo Liya felt the same way. The thought of her almost falling into the hands of that shopkeeper made her feel extremely infuriated.

"Oh right, why didn't you and Wukong receive the Free and Unrestrained Powder back then? I asked Wukong and he said he didn't know. " Zi Ruo asked indifferently once again.

Luo Liya's eyebrows furrowed as she thought about it. Previously, her attention was on other matters, so how could she have noticed these details? Now that she thought about it, she felt a little curious.

With the poison in her body and her blood immune to all kinds of poisons, she naturally wouldn't be poisoned by the Free and Unrestrained Powder. However, Wu Kong … He was not poisoned in the beginning, but he was later tricked by the storekeeper.

"Maybe they put the poison from Free and Unrestrained Powder in the dish that Wu Kong doesn't eat?" Luo Liya guessed.

"The dishes Wu Kong doesn't eat?" "What is it?" the moon spirit asked.

"Radish."

Wu Kong spoke without thinking, and only after a moment did he react, a smile appearing on his face. "I understand! So it was like this! I can't believe I can't figure out such a simple problem! I'm so stupid! "

As Wu Kong spoke, he patted his head in exchange for the laughter of the crowd.

At this moment, a figure stood at the door of the room. The few of them all had some cultivation base, so they all turned around to look at the person at the door.

Luo Lei wore a simple set of white robes and stood with his hands behind his back. His face was like that of a crown jade and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He was currently looking at the four people with a smile that wasn't a smile.

She bit her lip and stared at him, saying nothing. Lori walked in step by step with a leisurely posture. "Liya, are you at ease to see your friend?"

His voice was very gentle, and his eyes were fixed on Luo Liya. He even bent his body slightly in order to match Luo Liya's height, as if he was very concerned about something.

Luo Liya remained silent, but the moon spirit pulled on her sleeve, silently reminding her. She sighed in her heart and finally opened her mouth. "I'm at ease. Very at ease."

"That's great. You must be tired from the long journey. Do you want a meal or a bath first?" Rollie asked again, still as gentle as ever.

"Mm, I'll arrange it myself." Luo Liya pursed her lips and replied, then turned her head, "Moon spirit, rest well. There's also the both of you. We'll meet again tomorrow."

After all, they were in front of the Luo Family, so the other three were very polite. They didn't have the same attitude as when they spoke to Luo Liya earlier.

"Liya, wait for me."

Lori couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, wanting to keep up with her. However, all of a sudden, Lori stopped, turned around and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"I want to arrange it for you."

"No need, I …" I have my limits, go rest. " If it weren't for him, Wukong and the others might have died, and he had cured them, and he had treated her with a kind look from the moment she had entered the room until now. She felt that if she treated him like that again, it would have been really malicious, but that feeling in her heart had not been able to get through, so she had no choice but to speak to him in this manner.

When Lorry heard this, it was as if he had obtained a priceless treasure. The corners of his mouth curved up in a clear smile. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

When Luo Liya saw his overjoyed expression, her brows twitched. Was this man really the Luo Lei that abandoned her in River City while she was still free and unfettered in the Royal Capital? Or … What difficulties did he have?

As she pondered, she instructed the maidservant to prepare a bath for her. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she returned to her room. Lying under the bed curtain, she finally felt at ease.

She had been ambushed by Gao Ying's assassins, and then taken to the Fire Nation without anyone knowing. It could be said that she had only returned to River City with a narrow escape from death, and now that she had finally settled down, the sleepiness of running everyday also came along with it. After a while, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The winter nights were always very long. Luo Liya felt as if she had slept for a day and a night. When she opened her eyes again, she felt as if she had been separated by a lifetime.

When she saw the pigtailed maid, she remembered that she was currently in a bustling military governor's mansion. This was definitely a maid that Luo Yan had arranged for her, and she was used to serving her, so she waved her hand to allow the maid to leave.

She stared at the black dot on top of it. The Taotie was stretching its body with a very lazy look, Luo Liya smiled in her heart, then she thought about the matter of finding food for the Taotie, and thought that she should think of a way to increase the spirituality of the Taotie.

After thinking like this, she put away the Taotie, put on some clothes and washed her face and rinsed her mouth before going out. Wu Kong and the others also woke up early and made some calculations. Today was the 28th of the Moon of the Moon, and the day after tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

During breakfast, Lorya inevitably saw Lori. Lori sat next to her with a big smile on his face. In front of Luo Yan, it wasn't good to go overboard, so she could only sit there without moving.

Luo Liya thought that there would be a generation gap between Luo Yan and Wu Kong, but she didn't expect that they would have such a good conversation, especially Wu Kong and Zi Ruo, the man's views on certain matters were very consistent, and Luo Lei also praised Wu Kong and Zi Ruo, saying that he would transfer Zi Ruo to his own class as soon as the new school semester started.

The topic of conversation had unknowingly turned to the martial arts competition.

"Then, how are your preparations for the competition?" Luo Yan asked with a serious look in her eyes.

"Reporting to the military director, this junior has been preparing hard all this time. I just don't know if I'm strong enough or not, so I might as well spar with you for a chance to broaden my horizons."

Zi Ruo answered without leaking, showing a very modest and cautious attitude. Luo Yan nodded, her gaze shifting to Wu Kong and Luo Liya.

"Actually, I am not too sure about the preparations, but at that time, will the military director be the judge? Then the Lord Commander will know. " Wu Kong scratched his head and replied, Luo Yan's face instantly changed.

"How did you know I was going to be a judge?"

"I guessed. Didn't the academy say at that time that they would invite many heavyweight judges?" The Military Commander is one of the top experts in the entire Country of Clear Water. He will naturally come. He lowered his head and asked with a cold expression.

Luoyan nodded in satisfaction, "You are right, so you must prepare yourself. Don't think that just because I am a judge that I can give you high marks, I will be even more harsh than the other judges."

"We shall obey father's teachings." Luo Liya replied with lowered eyes. She had always regarded Luo Yan as her idol, and had thought that he was ungrateful to her mother, but when the truth was revealed and she understood that he was also in the dark, she had forgiven him, and later he had arranged for her to study in the Royal Academy. To her, he was a great benefactor and she would listen to everything he said.

"Learn a lot from your second brother. He knows a lot more than you do."

"Liya understands."

She lowered her head as she spoke, then glanced at Lorelei out of the corner of her eyes. Seeing that Lorelei was also looking at her with a smile that wasn't a smile, she became a little embarrassed and tried her best to return to her normal expression.

It was the custom of River City, where the 28th and 15th of the Moon were symmetrical days, which meant that the 28th of the Moon Festival was also to be done, and the day was a day of revelry, with lion dances everywhere, and New Year's wares to be placed, and at night there were lanterns and lanterns, and the young men and women were at peace.

Everyone agreed on this suggestion. Luo Liya didn't say anything and the five of them went to the Jiangcheng street market in casual clothes.
