Perhaps they not only watched it, but also acted in it themselves.
The Cold Fairy doesn't seem to enjoy watching the plays she's acted in.
No problem, though. Little Li is known for having viewed hundreds of films, and his collection is quite astonishing—not just on his hard drive or in his browsing history.
"Ice Block seems to prefer watching anime and isn't very interested in movies."
"She watched '5 Centimeters Per Second' very attentively, and she also loves drinking cola and eating potato chips..."
Li Mo smacked his lips as he came out of the room; the taste of the potato chips had faded by now.
But he wasn't savoring the taste of the potato chips.
Not long after I went downstairs, I ran into Zhong Zhenyue and Xie Xuan. The two of them were just about to open the door to Wind and Moon Cottage, and they were having a great time doing so.
"Brother Li, you just got up. I noticed your room was empty earlier, and I thought you'd gone to the Sword Furnace again."
Zhong Zhenyue couldn't help but be curious.
He'd been watching closely these past few days. Even after the Hidden Dragon Assembly ended, Brother Li was still going to the Sword Furnace every day, keeping him constantly busy. He couldn't bear his own laziness any longer.
If it weren't for the fact that Wind and Moon Cottage was making so much money...
"It's not like he's only away from his room today."
Xie Xuan was chewing on a grass root.
The bitterness that had faded over the past few days seems to have resurfaced in my heart.
"Brother Li, forgive my bluntness, but even heroes have their weaknesses when it comes to love and romance. Although no one can resist the allure of beauty you face, you can't continue down this path of depravity, I'm telling you."
Xie Xuan's tone was full of emotion.
Li Mo: "?"
Is this your excuse for abusing your power and washing feet several times a day?
"We were just watching a movie."
What is a movie?
"Why..."
Xie Xuan felt insulted as Little Li looked at him with a slightly pitying gaze.
Zhong Zhenyue didn't understand, but was full of curiosity.
So as he walked out, Li Mo took out some potato chips and said:
"Well, it's just the two of us watching traditional opera or storytelling together, and we'll eat some snacks like popcorn and potato chips."
Li Mo appeared calm and composed, with an air of righteousness on his face.
As we all know, potato chips and popcorn can easily get your fingers dirty.
But not the Ice Block, bare hands.
The snacks were given to Ice Block, so he needs to find something else to eat, right?!
Is this reasonable? I don't care if it's reasonable or not!
"Brother Li, you've come out on top, but you've become complacent." Zhong Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief.
My dad has been watching him sigh every day lately.
He could hear the sigh in his voice, "Comparison is the thief of joy." He had seen how outstanding other younger generations were, and the more he looked at his own foolish son, the angrier he became.
Old Zhong felt that things couldn't continue like this.
"Brother Li, from now on, how about I call you godfather, and you still call me brother? Let's keep our own roles."
"Clam?"
Looking at the serious Zhong Zhenyue, Li Mo couldn't quite understand what kind of genius idea had popped into Old Zhong's little head.
Even a genius like him couldn't figure it out.
Xie Xuan grinned wickedly, his smile even more pronounced than a pig's during Chinese New Year.
"Then Xiao Zhong has to call me uncle?"
Li Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, that's against it."
"?"
"Old Du and I chopped off chicken heads, burned yellow paper, and became sworn brothers. Even your master's own seniority might not be high enough."
"???"
Seeing Xie Xuan's bewildered expression, Li Mo decided to keep the secret hidden until spring and not tell Master Xie what exactly happened with Xie Xuan's journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step.
Otherwise, Xie Xuan would inevitably be beaten like a grandson.
With such a large generational difference, how can they still be brothers?
"Isn't this also an investment, and a well-intentioned one at that? Why isn't the system calculating it for me?"
Li Mo then boarded the carriage.
"Brother Li, what are you doing up here?"
"She's practicing her martial arts. Let's go to the shop and take a look."
First of all, Little Li has absolutely no ulterior motives; he is genuinely a virtuous person this time.
Wind and Moon Cottage is now one of the sources of his Power of All Living Beings and investment returns.
He currently lacks both of these.
The Ruyi Golden-Banded Staff) is still stuck in the Small World; it can't be pulled out.
He felt that if one day his physical strength were greater, and he were to wear Golden Chainmail, lotus-silk Cloud-Stepping Boots, and Phoenix-Wing Purple-Gold Crown, he could empower Power of All Living Beings.
Perhaps it's worth a try.
Wind and Moon Cottage)
In a private room on the third floor, a middle-aged man wearing half a mask and dressed as a businessman, resembling a wealthy merchant, was the first to go upstairs.
Behind him stood Luo Yexian and a richly dressed young man with Qilin pendant hanging from his waist and a tall mountain-shaped crown on his head, who looked gentle and refined.
"Why has this Wind and Moon Cottage been changed?"
The young master didn't seem very satisfied.
"Young Master Song has long been engrossed in studying the classics at the Imperial Academy, oblivious to the world around him. Little does he know that this place has changed hands, hence its current state."
The Blood Refinement Hall adopted a very humble attitude.
"Oh? They didn't even report to the Ministry of Rites? I'll see if this place is in accordance with propriety."
Wind and Moon Cottage was originally the property of the Fourth Prince, but all brothels and similar businesses in the Imperial Capital were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.
In the very beginning, this place was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and the wives and daughters of disgraced officials would be sent there.
All the brothels in the Imperial Capital had a common backer: the Ministry of Ministry of Rites.
The Minister of Rites also had the surname Song.
"I heard it's quite proper, but it's just too proper."
Luo Yexian sighed.
Why not turn it into a mahjong parlor?
"The final decision is entirely up to Young Master Song. Please."
The Blood Refinement Hall was the first to enter the third floor.
They didn't call for any girls, they just ordered some pastries and food.
Young Master Song was somewhat displeased. "Although my father is quite particular about etiquette, we're already here."
I finally escaped the academy and wanted to have some meat, did I come here to eat with you?
Although my father is the Minister of Rites, it's your business whether you address him or not; I can refuse!
He had already planned it out: if three different groups of people couldn't do it, he would stand firm and say that a gentleman should uphold propriety.
What does "now" mean?
The Blood Refinement Hall chuckled and said, "Young Master, please be patient. I have invited the original courtesan of the Wind and Moon Cottage, and she is currently getting ready."
Young Master Song then gave up. "We're old friends, why didn't you say so earlier? What's the matter this time?"
"The last time the Heavenly Venerable Brand Instant Noodles were advertised, the results were quite good, so I'd like to offer a small suggestion."
"Oh?"
"Young master, look, there's a Hidden Dragon Hidden Dragon Assembly for prodigies, but no Hundred Flowers Gathering for beauties. Why don't we organize one?"
"This is unprecedented and I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."
"Just think, these beauties among the flowers are all stunningly beautiful, each one more captivating than the last. Oh, and by the way, there's one Cold Fairy, not even eighteen years old, yet everyone says she has the looks of a celestial being, Goddess of the moon. Even Your Majesty might not be able to compare..."
"Hiss..."
Young Master Song held his wine cup and leaned back slightly.
They seem to find it somewhat interesting.
Seeing his reaction, the Blood Refinement Hall and Luo Yexian exchanged a glance, knowing that the matter was almost certain.
