Chapter 290: To the Capital

lights in the restaurant began to flicker and the next second they went out completely, plunging the entire restaurant into darkness."Hahaha! None of you are leaving here, stay and keep me company!"Th...At fifteen, Lian'i was already graceful and beautiful, with an ethereal charm. Her cultivation bestowed upon her a cool and aloof aura, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who beheld her.

Wenlu and Minmin have lived a stable life these past three years. They wholeheartedly trained a group of loyal little guards for Lian'yi, taking a portion of them out to hone their skills every year. As a result, these young ones are also well-versed in the world.

Liàn Yī was sipping her flower tea, asking questions with a relaxed and natural air, in stark contrast to the busy figures of the maidservants around her.

"Miss, the Li family is so stingy. They only sent a manager, an old nanny, and a squad of eight guards. Not even a proper maid! It's obvious they want to intimidate us. Each one of them acts like they're better than everyone else, all bark and no bite."s stood behind her.
