Chapter 43: The Decision That Never Backs Down

For the Confucian scholars in Qingzhou, the most proud thing is not that they suppressed the Taoist sect and allowed Confucianism to flourish here, but that the two Confucian sages appeared at the same time in Qingzhou. Li Xingcheng and Li Xingyang, the two brothers trained by the Qingzhou family, are definitely not ordinary Confucian sages, but the second of the four most famous Confucian sages in the world.

Li Xiuwen is Li Xingcheng's only son. Although he is the first person behind sages, he acts frivolously and is called "the rebellious son of Confucianism" by the Confucian scholars in Qingzhou; and Li Yuqi, as Li Xingyang's only daughter, is fresh and refined, and has a charming posture. He is beautiful and wise, and is called "the future of Confucianism" by the Confucian scholars in Qingzhou.

Li Xiuwen never cared about being scolded by his father, criticized by many Confucian scholars, and even named as a rebellious son. What he cared about was the only place he recognized now that his relatives were about to face. For Li Yuqi, it was a heavy thing, but it was something that could not be changed by his little Confucian scholar.

Since that's the case, let's stay with her today, no matter what his request is, he will meet. Li Xiuwen shook his head helplessly and hurriedly caught up with the weak figure in front of him.

A small town like Anshi City with a population of only tens of thousands seems to be much deserted compared to Tianqing City, which is a million people where they are located. However, although the town is small, those basic shops and streets still exist. One or two streets are still lively and worth a visit.

After wandering around the city for several hours, Li Yuqi never bought too many things in the city. Instead, he pulled Li Xiuwen to wander outside the city at dusk and arrived next to a green and low hill.

"I thought you would have some extraordinary ideas, but I didn't expect that after walking in the city for a long time, you only bought some messy things. This is really boring. Now there is still the last time, so you should think about it carefully and choose a few things worth trying. Now even if you want to burn Anshi City in front of you, I will help you." Li Xiuwen found a grass next to the hill and lying in a very boring tone.

Before, his cousin pulled him to buy a lot of messy things, which only ordinary people could use. Then, his cousin was like a child, staying in front of the playful stalls and shops for a long time, and bought several grimace masks.

"I have always been very greedy and want to do a lot of things, and now I want to do all of them even more. But I know it is impossible and impossible to have them all. So the things I did in the city and the messy things I bought are already everything I want now." Li Yuqi had no regrets, and after experiencing those things in the city, he was very satisfied. "Standing in such a quiet place and enjoying the lives of ordinary people is the last thing I want to do now."

After slowly speaking, Li Yuqi stood on this low hill and looked down. She let the gusts of wind blow, and blew the luxurious long skirts on her body, and even his long black hair floated.

There is a field at the foot of the mountain, where several ordinary people are working.

"Yuqi, if you are a man, it would be much better. You don't have to stand bored in the mountains and look at them like you are now. At this time, I can take you to enjoy it in the city and experience the fun of being a man. In the past few days in Anshi City, I have found several women, all of whom are lovely beauties. If you can enjoy it well, it will be a good thing in life." Li Xiuwen was still lying on the grass, too lazy to get up to see the scene Li Yuqi said.

I don’t know what to say to Yuqi now, so he could only pick some words and say it casually.

"Cousin, you are really like this every time!" Li Yuqi was not interested in the topic Li Xiuwen raised, but was a little angry. She turned around and taught him a harsh lesson. "Even if you like women, you must contact each other with dignity, and then beg your uncle to marry them home. How can you be honest and play with them and then leave after you get rid of it? You have been doing this, putting aside the reputation of the Li family, how can you argue with those women who like you?"

Li Yuqi looked at her romantic cousin very angry, with an angry expression on her face unrest. Because she didn't know how many times she got angry with him, but he never wanted to learn from her lessons and treat her well.

"Don't worry, every woman I meet is my true love. I will be responsible for every one of them to the end, but there will be no harm!" Li Xiuwen quickly replied, wanting to fool him.

Every time he is taught a lesson by his cousin, he is very troubled, and he looks so amused and crying.

But maybe this was the last lesson! He silently recited in his heart that he would probably never hear her severe lesson from him again, and saw the angry expression of his only relative.

"Hmph, today, I won't teach you a lesson. But no matter what, you must treat those women who like you well." Li Yuqi snorted dissatisfiedly, then squatted down and looked at his cousin carefully, and said with a hint of bad taste, "Cousin, you promised me that you will accompany me well today, and you will agree no matter what request. I suddenly remembered something. I have heard that your onion pancakes are delicious. Tonight, you have to cook for me personally. I have to stand by and watch it carefully, and then eat enough."

Li Xiuwen was quite surprised by Yu Qi's request. He learned to make onion pancakes once. But this kind of thing that only ordinary people will notice is how this cousin, who has always been well-behaved and docile, would have such thoughts? But he shook his head helplessly, yawned boredly, and agreed with what Li Yuqi said.

"Hey, this craft is my unique skill of my cousin and I don't show it easily. Even the more than ten women I love most have never tasted it at this opportunity!" Li Xiuwen stretched and didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to fulfill his cousin's request, "But who made you the closest cousin! After returning to the city, I'll find a place to make it for you."

Li Yuqi was so happy that her smile was full of her face. With a hint of cunning as to succeed in the conspiracy, she continued to squat in place and praised her rebellious cousin warmly.

"At dusk, when I came to this quiet hill and looked at the surrounding scenery, I could really calm down. I used to stay in Tianqing City, studied in the academy, and stayed at home, and never knew there was such a beautiful scenery." After a few words of praise, Li Yuqi stood up and looked at the surrounding scenery, and made this series of sighs.

The original small wind became strong and his hair was blown a little messy. Li Yuqi hurriedly hid aside, then stroked his long hair again, and then looked at the surrounding scenery again.

Li Xiuwen had been lying on the grass all the time, not hearing a word about what Li Yuqi said later, and was thinking about those things in a mess.

It took him a long time to turn to the side and look at Li Yuqi who showed a girlish posture. Then he slowly said, "Escape! Cousin, you don't have to carry all this, run away quickly! There is still more than half a day, and you have enough time to escape from this place. If there is not enough time, I can help you win it, even if you fight for your life, you will win it."

Li Yuqi, who was standing by the side and looking at the scenery around him, was startled and turned around to look at Li Xiuwen in surprise. After her cousin's instinctively reacted to the surprise, she quickly regained her usual gentle expression.

In this gentle look, the strong and decisiveness that was inconsistent with Li Yuqi's slender body also emerged.

"You can't escape, cousin!" Li Yuqi nodded, and then said firmly to Li Xiuwen who was lying on the grass, "No matter what, escaping is never a solution. Only by facing it bravely can everything be solved. No matter how heavy the burden on your body is, no matter how heavy the responsibility is, I will not escape, I have to shoulder all of it."

"You know very well that when you shoulder the heavy burden, you will never have any chance to be happy from now on." Li Xiuwen said guiltily.

Even though he had failed many times to persuade Yuqi to give up the so-called responsibility, he was still trying his best to persuade him because he knew that this was the last chance.

"As long as the Tao, Buddhism and Confucianism in this world are still so chaotic, that heavy responsibility will exist, and someone must bear it. If you shift this responsibility to others because you are afraid of losing the happiness you have, how can you be called a true Li family?" Li Yuqi was very angry at his cousin's words, which was really angry, so she had a stern tone in that gentle tone, "Cousin, you are very dissatisfied with your uncle, and you are just wanton and shirk your responsibilities. But we are descendants of the Li family, and how can the descendants of the Li family who are dedicated in this secular world say this!"

Li Xiuwen smiled bitterly, knowing that the final persuasion failed and it failed completely.

Yuqi's words were correct, without any falsehood. Li Xiuwen knew very well that he had been shirking all kinds of responsibilities he deserved for so many years, and then let his temperament do whatever he could to anger his father.

"In that case, you will fall into it forever, and no one can save you anymore!" Li Xiuwen said unwillingly. This sentence was the one he was most reluctant to say in person.

"Yes, no one else can do it!" Li Yuqi said firmly, repeating his cousin's words.

Perhaps at the beginning, she still hoped that someone could help her and finally have a day of relief. But now she has understood that such a thing is impossible and no one can rescue her from it.

Even so, Li Yuqi has no fear or any concern about this responsibility she should bear. No matter what happens, she has the determination to fulfill the responsibility to the end.

"If there was no one else, I would still be able to rely on myself!" Li Yuqi said without hesitation, without any doubt.
