"It's also our fault. Your master and I have been at odds for half our lives, and only at the very end did I realize that I couldn't bear to part with him, nor with you, and with Shan Gu Dao. Now that you're all gone, I feel so much regret, for making you suffer so much." Granny Qin sighed. This whole affair was truly their fault.

If she and the old man hadn't argued so often, and hadn't separated to teach them martial arts on their own, things wouldn't have come to this.

The old man is gone, and Shan Gudao is gone too. Now she only has Xiangyi as her disciple. In fact, she can tell that Shan Gudao still harbors some resentment towards Xiangyi and the old man.

But they couldn't say anything about talent. Xiang Yi was a natural martial arts prodigy, and he had gone much further than him in terms of martial arts skills.

"By the way, Xiangyi, you said you found the antidote for the poison of the Jade Tea. What is it?" There must be an antidote for every poison in the world, but the antidote for the poison of the Jade Tea is extremely difficult to find. She is willing to exchange her life for another, but I'm afraid Xiangyi will not agree.

"It's the Forget-Me-Not Flower, Master's wife, don't worry, I will definitely find it!" On the way back, he learned a lot from Lianxin, and naturally he also knew that when he was terminally ill, he had come back to find his master's wife, and he now knew exactly what his master's wife was thinking.

He indirectly caused his master's death, so how can he let his master's wife worry about him, or even risk her life for him! This is absolutely unacceptable.

As it grew late, Granny Qin prepared some food, and after the three of them finished eating, they each went back to their rooms to rest. Li Lian thought to herself, "I really must go to their place tomorrow. I can't afford to waste another day like this."

Otherwise, some lost little lamb will keep thinking, "Find my senior brother, find my senior brother, find my senior brother."

Li Lianhua, who was sleeping next door, overheard everything. It seemed that in Lianxin's mind, he was a big fool who had been looking for his senior brother all along, only to find out in the end that his senior brother was still alive and that it was all his plan!

As night falls, the starry sky unfolds like a profound painting across the heavens. With the deepening darkness, wispy clouds begin to drift slowly across the sky, like shy sprites quietly hiding the countless stars in their embrace.

The two fell asleep amidst the tranquility of the night, the gentle breeze, the coolness of the night, and the faint fragrance of flowers.

————

The next day, the two went to the small courtyard where Qi Mushan lived. Although it looked a bit messy, it was clear that his master's wife would come and clean it from time to time.

Back then, when he and Shan Gudao were brought back, they lived here. Unfortunately, when they returned, their master and mistress had a falling out and refused to give in to each other. So they made a bet to see who could teach a better disciple. They drew lots and he went with the master, while Shan Gudao went with the mistress.

That's because they have fewer and fewer opportunities to see it.

The two entered the bamboo house, where Qi Mushan's memorial tablet was placed on a wooden table in the center of the entrance.

Li Lianhua walked to Qi Mushan's memorial tablet, knelt down and kowtowed. Looking at the wine gourd on the incense table, her eyes reddened slightly. After a while, she stood up, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and gently wiped the memorial tablet and incense table clean. She remained silent throughout the entire process.

Li Lianxin stood to the side watching. Ever since she went up Yunyin Mountain, Li Lianhua had become depressed. Even when she met with Granny Qin, she was still the same and hadn't changed at all.

[Sigh~ What can I do? Tell Li Lianhua that his master's death is irrelevant? But the key point is that it is indeed somewhat related, and it's all Shan Gu Dao's fault! If he hadn't said that something had happened to Li Lianhua, he wouldn't have been able to successfully ambush him. I'm so angry! (╬◣д◢)]

Li Lianhua: !!!

Sometimes it's really hard to keep things bottled up, especially when you see Li Lianhua like this, but besides complaining in your heart, it seems like there's nothing else she can do.

Even if you tell Li Lianhua, he'll still think it's his fault. Xiao Kou suddenly appeared; it hadn't had much to do lately, except its online boyfriend had been incredibly busy.

Li Lianxin thought Xiao Kou's words made perfect sense. "What should we do! The way he's acting gives me the impression that he's trying to become a saint. He takes on every little thing; it's really too much!"
