Chapter 244 - 118: When the Phoenix Meets, Heroes Young and Old!
Upon hearing the name Li Guanyi, Li Zhaowen initially paused, a moment of hesitation flashing across her face before looking at the sword-wearing young man reaching for the lotus pods, thinking of their two encounters, his mastery of both literature and the martial arts, and his carefree boldness.
Suddenly, Li Zhaowen burst into loud laughter, sitting there as if her joy surpassed even Li Guanyi’s previous declaration that the wine was worth its price, she pointed at him with her hand that was as white as jade and repeatedly prodded Li Guanyi, exclaiming, "Ha ha ha, Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi!"
Truly delightful.
The slightly tipsy youth lifted the wine jar and asked, "Li Zhaowen, what are you laughing about?"
Li Zhaowen replied, "What a fine name!"
It suddenly dawned on her that she hadn’t mentioned the name of the second son of the Duke Ying Mansion in their correspondence, and Changsun Wuchou, being her subordinate, would have certainly not divulged the true name of his master. Hence, the tipsy youth before her might be just like her before.
Only knowing the title of the second son, but not the name Li Zhaowen.
With a flick of her folding fan, Li Zhaowen opened it to conceal the unreserved smile at the corner of her mouth.
While harboring a smile, she thought to herself,

Being naturally proud and additionally young, like a sharp sword, she was absolutely unwilling to suffer a loss.
