785 Let Him Go Personally
“Alright, eat well first. You’ll only have strength after filling your stomach. You can’t fly, so you have to eat your fill before you have the strength to walk.”
Li Hai patted his brother’s back gently and said in a teasing tone.
Li Kuo calmed down and his appetite was whetted. He had never starved before. Apart from being in a bad mood these two days, his hunger was also a factor.
Now that his worries had been resolved, he naturally would not torture his organs.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Hai changed his clothes with him. After carefully dressing up, the two brothers looked 80% alike.
Li Hai smiled and said, “Go now. Open the door and leave. Don’t talk to anyone or look at anyone. We look alike. As long as you walk fast enough, the servants won’t dare to stop you just by looking at your clothes. However, if you pause any longer, you will definitely be exposed.”
Li Kuo nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.
Before leaving, he hugged Li Hai again and said, “Thank you, Big Brother.”
Li Hai didn’t say anything. He only patted Li Kuo and waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
Everyone was staring at them now. If Li Kuo hesitated too much, he probably wouldn’t even be able to leave the door.
Li Kuo also understood this, so he remembered Li Hai’s instructions. He pushed open the door and walked out without saying a word or looking at any servants.
He walked very quickly. Because of his clothes, the servants did not dare to stop him.
The two brothers were about the same height and looked alike. If they deliberately dressed up like this, people would not be able to recognize them without taking a few more glances. Li Kuo walked quickly and did not give them a chance to take a few more glances.
When Li Kuo left, the servants had yet to react.
Madam Chu and the Li family’s head were waiting for news.
They asked the servants, “Why isn’t Eldest Young Master here yet?”
The servant replied, “Eldest Young Master left the Second Young Master’s courtyard directly. He left in a hurry, as if it was an urgent matter.”
Madam Chu muttered, “What emergency can be more urgent than his brother?”
Patriarch Li was deep in thought and did not interrupt.
However, his son was indeed busy. Such a big family business depended on him.
However, not long after, Bu Mo rushed in and said with a bitter expression, “Master, Madam, Young Master has gone out…”
Madam Chu was surprised. “What?”
Patriarch Li was also in disbelief. “How did he get out? There were so many of you watching.”
Bu Mo lowered his head. He didn’t dare to say it because no one would have thought that such an impartial young master would do such a thing.
Bu Mo didn’t explain, but Madam Chu and Patriarch Li already knew because Li Hai had come in Li Kuo’s clothes.
Madam Chu took two steps forward and couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you let your brother go?”
Li Hai first bowed before explaining, “Father, mother, second brother has already had a knot in his heart because of Miss Zhao. Being unable to love is the biggest knot in his heart. Now that Miss Zhao has left, he can’t even say goodbye. If you keep him like this, it will only make the knot in his heart worse.”
“That Miss Zhao likes strange stones. Recently, she’s been living by the strange lake. It’s obvious that she’s obsessed with stones. She comes and goes freely. She might really leave one day. He might never see her again. Second brother didn’t even say goodbye. Wouldn’t he be thinking about it for the rest of his life? I let him go to fulfill his wish. He’s not a child anymore. He understands everything.”
Li Hai made sense. His words made Madam Chu and the Li family head clear.
Madam Chu looked enlightened. “I was too nervous and didn’t think about this.”
Master Li sighed. “Who is that Miss Zhao? Let’s investigate later.”
In fact, in their opinion, Su Xiaolu was a person from the martial world. She was straight forward and loyal. She was not as restrained as ordinary women and was also good-looking. Apart from that, she was just that. However, for some reason, their son, Li Kuo, liked her very much.
They wondered what he liked about her.
Li Kuo felt that she was carefree, unrestrained, and free. They thought that she had no manners and did not know the rules.
Li Hai nodded. It was not a big deal to investigate. How many people in the martial world could he meet in his life?
However, he also knew Li Kuo’s personality.
In the future, when they met, they could look in this direction. They had to get along well.
“Father, mother, I’ll go back first. Don’t worry about Second Brother. He’s just saying goodbye. He’ll be back in the afternoon.”
Li Hai gently retreated.
Madam Chu looked at Bu Mo and said calmly, “Bu Mo, you can leave too. It’s not your fault. Just take good care of Second Young Master when he comes back.”
Bu Mo nodded. It was good that this matter was resolved.
Speaking of which, Eldest Young Master was still the best. Master and Madam listened to him.

Li Kuo rode out of the city and went straight to the strange lake.
It was cold, but he felt hot.
From a distance, he could see a person, but there was also something dark.
He didn’t know what kind of livestock it was, but Miss Zhao was still so unruly. She ate happily, whether it was roasted rabbit or roasted chicken.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Su Xiaolu looked over and realized that it was Li Kuo. She exclaimed.
It was already mid-September. It had been ten days since she left Changzhou City. She didn’t expect Li Kuo to look for her again.
When the horse was close, Su Xiaolu smiled and waved. “Young Master Li, why are you here? Do you want to eat roasted rabbit?”
Li Kuo dismounted and walked towards Su Xiaolu. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He smiled politely and said, “Miss Zhao, I’m sorry. My mother was worried and made things difficult for you.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and shook her head indifferently. “Young Master Li, you’re too polite. Your mother cares about you very much, and she did not make things difficult for me. I was very happy to stay in the Li Residence.”
“Let’s not talk about the past.”
Su Xiaolu felt that Li Kuo was a little strange. This was not a big deal. There was no need to come specially.
However, Li Kuo coming personally meant that he really treated her as a friend. Su Xiaolu was still very happy.
She stretched out her rabbit leg. “Do you want to eat?”
Seeing that Su Xiaolu was very carefree, Li Kuo felt embarrassed if he said anything else, so he did not say anything else. He took it and sat down against the fire.
Looking at this livestock that looked like a dog but not really, Li Kuo asked curiously, “Miss Zhao, what kind of livestock is this? Why do I feel that I don’t know it? Why is it so black? If it’s a dog, it’s very difficult to find such a pure black color. It looks like its limbs are thick and long. It should be able to grow very big.”
Mantis Shrimp looked at Li Kuo and tilted its head.
Su Xiaolu heard Mantis Shrimp’s childish voice in her sea of consciousness. “Xiaolu, this person is so rude. How can he call me livestock? I’m clearly a divine beast. If he calls me that, it makes me look cheap!”
Mantis Shrimp was very unhappy. It didn’t want to look at Li Kuo or talk to him.
Su Xiaolu touched Mantis Shrimp and said to Li Kuo with a smile, “His name is Mantis Shrimp. He’s my closest friend.”
Su Xiaolu’s introduction was enough to let Li Kuo know that she valued Mantis Shrimp very much.
Mantis Shrimp was instantly happy.
