To make things right ( Li Lianhua X Fang Duobing)

chapter 12

 The day for the travel to mount puchu had arrived. Fang duobing tried to leave early so that he can avoid meeting with Li xiangyi but who knew that the no.1 sword god is waiting for his arrival just at the turning from his home. He can't escape. Li xiangyi is so smart that it is hard for Fang duobing to get rid of him. Is this how Li lianhua felt when Fang duobing was chasing him? He slightly regrets his behavior now. Fang duobing even tried to run away but Li xiangyi easily caught him. " Why are you trying to run away? Do I look like a ghost to you?" Fang duobing just shook his head. He signed and resigned to his fate. Yan Wang had told him beforehand that he won't be available for the time being, so Fang duobing had to do these on his own. 

And more importantly, it is that almost everyone is recognizing the GREAT sword god and it's not ideal for his plan. He quickly pulled Li xiangyi into a secluded alley and asked," Senior Li, can you do something with your clothes and all of these accessories. You are attracting too much attention and it's not good for our travel." Fang duobing was dressed in plain clothes and has no accessories excepts for the simple hair crown, complete opposite of Li xiangyi. Li xiangyi was confused and asked," Why? Is something wrong with them?" For a smart person like Li xiangyi, he lacks some common-sense which Li lianhua has. " Senior Li, we can't afford people knowing our location. Why do you think I've dressed so plainly." Fang duobing said looking at Li xiangyi with a frown. 

Li xiangyi didn't like to hide his identity. He was proud of his achievements and his position. But looking at Fang duobing's frowning face (which speaks a ton of displeasure) that is directed at him, he gave in. They quickly went inside a clothing shop and changed Li xiangyi's clothes into something simple. All of Li xiangyi's things and initial clothing are kept in a bag. Then only Fang duobing agreed to continue their journey. Although some people still look at Li xiangyi, it's not as bad as before. It will take at least a day and a half to reach mount puchu, so they have to stay at an inn or stay outdoors for the night. 

Fang duobing thought that they will stay outdoors because, ONE - he was in a hurry, TWO - Li xiangyi will attract too much attention. When they passed through the market area, which is not that packed because it's still early morning, Fang duobing noticed that Li xiangyi is looking for something. For candy?  Fang duobing took his small candy pouch, took one out and gave it to Li xiangyi. To say Li xiangyi was not surprised was a lie. " How do you know that I was looking for candy?" Li xiangyi asked taking the candy and unwrapping it to eat. " I know that you like to eat lotus candy. Aside from that, I always carry snacks with me." Fang duobing said not wanting to reveal too much information. 

Li xiangyi didn't know what to say. Only few people know that he likes candy. He also felt that Fang duobing don't want to say how he knows it. On the way, Li xiangyi always tries to pull some information from Fang duobing but this child is intelligent and can divert the conversation if it is something he don't want to say. But Li xiangyi is stubborn and didn't stop his attempts. They stopped at an inn for lunch and sat down at one of the tables. Fang duobing poured tea to Li xiangyi first and for himself after. Li xiangyi was somewhat pleased by this, so he stopped his interrogations for now. People around them were gossiping about many things but one particular issue attracted Fang duobing's attention. 

A guy with a long vertical sword was seen near mount puchu, challenging anyone who got in his way. Why does that sound so familiar to Di feisheng? Fang duobing was sweating buckets. Please don't let that person be Lao Di. He can't bear it, if these two people were in the same place. He'll die young 😱😱!! Li xiangyi was also listening to these people, already interested in who that person carrying long vertical sword. " This person seems to be interesting. I wonder if I can have a fight with him." Li xiangyi said sipping his tea. But Fang duobing choked and coughed hard.  He forgot that teenage Li xiangyi is also a muscle brain. Only thinking about how to use his sword to solve things. Almost. 

 " If senior Li wants to fight then you can go on your own. I don't want to get involved in these fights." Fang duobing said after his coughing fit. Even If they meet beforehand, there will be no bad things that are yet to happen. And if Li xiangyi distracts Di feisheng with his fight, then maybe he can go inside the tomb himself and complete his task without Li xiangyi's shenanigans. He thought that might be a good idea. Li xiangyi didn't know why he felt sight shivers, as if someone is planning something on him. They ate their lunch (Li xiangyi paid for them) and resumed their journey again. The journey was relatively peaceful. Night was approching, so they decided to camp near the river, they have found. 

Li xiangyi easily caught some fish and collected some firewood all by himself. He did not allow Fang duobing to do anything, subconsciously thinking that as an adult, he should do all of these things. Fang duobing was not really upset. Because, before he was the one to run around and do most of the things for Li lianhua. So, he felt nice at the moment. " Senior Li, give the fish to me. I know what to do with them." he said stretching his hand towards him. Li xiangyi hesitated but still gave the fish to Fang duobing. 

Fang duobing had seasonings with him, so he first cleaned the fish with a small knife that he brought with him (Li xiangyi did not allow him at first but Fang duobing was also stubborn). He removed it's insides and again cleaned it thoroughly. He added the seasonings and inserted them to a clean stick and kept near the fire. Li xiangyi watched the whole process," How do you know, how to cook?" he asked watching Fang duobing rotating the sticks. " I sometimes watch our cooks in the kitchen. I've also read some cookbooks." He said lifting his face to look at Li xiangyi. 

Due to the silver moonlight and the golden glow from the fire, Li xiangyi thought that for a second, he saw a little fairy, with big eyes looking at him. " Oh." he said and directed his gaze to the fish. In his mind he was muttering, I'm not a pedophile. I'm not a pedophile. I'm not a pedophile. Fang duobing didn't know that he started something in Li xiangyi's heart and continued to focus on the fish. 

After a few seconds, Li xiangyi suddenly unsheathed his sword and blocked somethings? (they look like stones) " Whose there!!??" He shouted.
