why dress up as a villain

Chapter 129 He Said
Taking advantage of the confusion, Le Qi escaped from the crowd and took another street. She turned her head to make sure that there were no pursuers behind her, and she was relieved.As soon as she turned around, she heard a voice, which startled her.

"Miss?"

Le Qi looked forward upon hearing the sound, and saw a group of patrolling soldiers in light armor and long knives walking in front of them.

In the front of a group of patrolling soldiers was a thin old man in brown long clothes with slightly white hair and beard—isn't this the housekeeper Cheng Bo in front of him?
As soon as Cheng Bo saw Le Qi, his deeply lined face was filled with surprise.

He lifted the hem of his clothes and strode towards her very quickly. Cheng Bo saluted Le Qi with excitement on his face, and even his tone was filled with indescribable joy: "Miss... I didn't expect you to really come back!"

Hearing what Cheng Bo said, Le Qi was at a loss.

Of course she didn't know that she had been recognized by the soldiers guarding the city when she entered the city gate, and the news about her return to the city had already been sent back to the Hou's Mansion. It was precisely after Cheng Bo received the news that he led these patrolling soldiers to look for Le Qi's whereabouts in the city.

After Cheng Bo finished his salute, he calmed down his excited expression a little bit, and began his long speech.

"Miss... Where have you been all these years? Mrs. Hou has been thinking about you all the time. Fortunately, God blesses you, and now you are back! This is great! You don't know, when the news came from the city gate that you entered the city, Madam burst into tears on the spot...Miss, please go back home with me!"

Le Qi was originally going back to the Hou's Mansion, if not for those things that happened on the way, she would have already returned to the Hou's Mansion to meet Princess Yong'an.So now hearing what Cheng Bo said, Le Qi simply followed his words and nodded.

When Cheng Bo saw her nodding, he was excited again. At that moment, he could be said to be smiling so much that his eyes were narrowed.

It was already late at night when Le Qi returned to the Hou's Mansion. Two red lanterns were hung next to the door plaques, illuminating the majestic and majestic gate, making it look extraordinarily solemn and bright.

Cheng Bo called someone to open the door of the mansion, and personally welcomed Le Qi into the mansion.

In the brightly lit hall, there was an Eight Immortals table between two calm and majestic red sandalwood grand master chairs. There were two people sitting on it early on, and a group of servant girls standing beside them, all bowed their heads obediently, not daring to make a sound.

Looking in, the two people sitting on the chairs were Marquis Luo Tianfeng and Princess Yong'an who had already received the news and were restlessly waiting for Le Qi to return home.

After the maidservant led the way with a lamp, through the carved corridor, Le Qi finally stepped into the hall.

As soon as her front foot landed, Princess Yong'an and Luo Tianfeng immediately got up to meet her. Princess Yong'an held Le Qi's arm tightly, but she glanced at Le Qi, and tears poured down like a floodgate.

Seeing her like this, Marquis Luo Tianfeng comforted her at the side: "Zhen'er, Xia'er is back now, she should be happy, don't cry soon, be careful not to hurt yourself."

But Princess Yong'an still held Le Qi's hand tightly, her tears were like broken beads, she was almost choked up so that she could not speak.

Seeing her like this, Le Qi's heart softened, and her voice became inexplicably soft: "Mother, stop crying, am I coming back? Since I promised you, I will definitely come back."

Hearing Le Qi's words, Princess Yong'an stretched out her hand to touch Le Qi's face. She said with tears in her eyes, "It has been eight years since you were taken away that day... Mother heard the news that you entered the fairy gate, but before she could be happy for a long time, the news of your disappearance came from the fairy gate. You have been missing for four years. Since then, my mother has been worried, afraid... afraid..." At this point, she was choked up and couldn't finish a sentence.

Le Qi heard her say this, and then looked at the haggard face of Princess Yong'an and the light lines at the corners of her eyes, her heart was very complicated.

Princess Yong'an has always doted on Luo Jiuxia very much. Last time, she believed Demon Venerable Ziman's attack on her, and saw herself being taken away by Demonic Ziman's demon cultivators. I'm afraid she has been feeling guilty all these years. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes... probably because she has been worrying too much all the time, which made her old as a monk.

Le Qi sighed in her heart, she covered Princess Yong'an's hand sticking to her face with her backhand, until she stood in front of Princess Yong'an, she realized that she was already much taller than Princess Yong'an, Le Qi said softly: "Mother, please stop doing this, am I coming back safely? And mother, I have lived a good life these years, you see, I have not only grown up, but also grown taller, shouldn't you feel relieved?"

Hearing these words, Princess Yong'an stared at Le Qi for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears and said with a smile: "Yes! My Xia'er has grown up now, and she has become so beautiful, she should be happy!"

Seeing her smile, Le Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She saluted Luo Tianfeng, who was acting as a white wall, and talked a lot with Princess Yong'an. When the topic changed to why she disappeared, a guard came in from outside.

The guard stood outside the threshold, lowered his head and didn't dare to look in front of him, he just said: "Tell Mrs. Hou, there is someone coming to visit from outside the mansion. The person who came said that he is an acquaintance of the young lady... I wonder if he should be allowed in?"

Luo Tianfeng and Princess Yong'an immediately looked at Le Qi together.

But Le Qi said that she was also at a loss. Several figures flashed in her mind, and finally rejected them one by one. After all, she just came out of the secret realm, and there should not be many people who knew her whereabouts, let alone came to visit the mansion.

Could it be that guy Ye Zhiyou? Thinking of her, Le Qi felt a little uneasy for a moment.

Feeling apprehensive, she simply said to the guard: "I'll let you go and have a look!"

Princess Yong'an wanted to stop Le Qi, but before she could speak, Le Qi had already followed the guard out of the hall.

When she stepped out of the threshold of the Hou's Mansion and saw the blue straight figure under the steps, for a moment, she had the feeling of crossing the boundaries of time and space, experiencing the return of the stars and the moon, and the reversal of the annual rings.

That slender figure stood at the end of the corridor of time outside the door, his body was covered with the thin light of the bright lanterns on the mansion door, he looked so quiet and steady, so familiar and gentle.

"White ink..."

Le Qi was a little dazed, she never expected that Bai Mo would appear at the gate of Hou Mansion, at that moment, she really felt that she was wrong.

But when she called out the word "white ink", the man turned his head. Under the light of the lantern, Jun Lang's brows had a jade-like texture.

He turned his face towards Le Qi, his expression was a little puzzled at first, and then... Gradually became gentle.

"Le Qi..." There was a gentle and familiar smile on the corner of his lips: "I finally found you..."

　Everyone, I'm really tired today, I don't know if I can update in time tomorrow, o(╯□╰)o sorry.
