Chapter 347 Li Lianhua and Li Xiangyi

The next day, the real culprit was successfully exposed.

It not only revealed that Park Erhuang wanted to seize the property of the Lingshan Sect and kill Wang Qingshan, but also revealed that he was Xin Lei, the Thunder Hand of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance.

"Enough with the talk, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!"

With the evidence irrefutable and his true colors exposed, Xin Lei, enraged, attacked Li Lianhua.

Lan Yan silently moved a step to the side, and Fang Duobing picked up his longsword and stood in front of Li Lianhua, engaging in a fierce battle with Xin Lei.

Li Lianhua, who had just faced a crisis, remained completely calm. She simply looked at Lan Yan with feigned grievance and asked, "Are you serious about backing down?"

Lan Yan smiled and stepped forward, raising his chin, just as Fang Duobing knocked Xin Lei down.

"We should give young people a chance to showcase their talents."

"Please keep an eye on him for now. I'll send a message by carrier pigeon and have someone escort him back to Baichuan Academy."

After solemnly instructing the disciples of the Lingshan Sect, Fang Duobing turned around and walked back, his expression instantly changing to a smug look: "How was it?"

"Outstanding, a leading figure among young people."

"Brother Lan, you flatter me."

Despite saying that, Fang Duobing couldn't help but smile. Li Lianhua couldn't bear to look and couldn't help but complain, "One dares to praise, and the other dares to believe."

"Li Lianhua, just say you envy me."

"Me, envious of you? Envious of your foolishness?"

"You're the idiot!"

...

"I've heard that the 188 cells in the Hundred Rivers Academy are not a pleasant place to be in."

Li Lianhua pushed open the door to the woodshed and went inside.

With his hands bound, Xin Lei looked up at him impatiently: "What are you doing here?"

"I'll give you a chance. If you tell me one thing, I can let you go." Li Lianhua's face was cold and stern as she looked at Xin Lei with a serious expression.

Xin Lei sneered, "You're the one who arrests me, and you're the one who releases me. What exactly do you want?"

Li Lianhua sighed, turned her head slightly, and explained slowly, "It's not that I want to arrest you, it's that kid surnamed Fang who wants to arrest you. I don't care whether you live or die."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Lianhua remained silent for a moment, staring intently at Xin Lei, before slowly approaching and asking in a deep voice, "Ten years ago, the three kings of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance killed Shan Gu Dao of the Four Gates and stole his remains. Where are his remains now?"

“You used to work under the Medicine Demon, you should know that.”

Xin Lei raised his eyelids, looked at the unfamiliar, frail-looking man in front of him, and asked, "How do you know I used to work for the Medicine Demon? Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, just tell me the answer you want."

Seeing Li Lianhua's eager look, Xin Lei's eyes darted around and his gaze fell on Li Lianhua's ears.

“You have three holes below your ears. Back when I was capturing people for the Medicine Demon to make poison, those people also had similar marks below their ears. Those were traces of being poisoned by the Jade Tea Poison.”

"The poison of the green tea is unparalleled in the world, and no one can cure it. Those who are poisoned will die within a month as their joints rot and their skin and flesh fall off."

As he spoke, Xin Lei scrutinized Li Lianhua's appearance again, "Unless you have very strong internal energy to force the poison out, an ordinary person definitely wouldn't last a month. And you're still standing in front of me now, unless..."

Li Lianhua remained silent.

Xin Lei became increasingly certain of his guess and sneered, "You are that person. Ten years have passed, and you are still alive."

"I don't have time to waste with your nonsense. The people from Baichuan Academy should already be on their way."

"You've become timid; you don't even dare to admit who you are anymore." Xin Lei pressed on, continuing his taunts. "I see now; it's not that you don't have martial arts skills, it's that you've completely lost them. Li Xiangyi!"

Li Lianhua raised her eyes and gave Xin Lei a deep look.

Xin Lei laughed loudly: "I guessed right. The once invincible Sword God has now fallen to such a state. Back then, you fought against the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance for your senior brother, but today, you're left to miserably collect his corpse..."

Xin Lei continued his taunts, while Li Lianhua's chest heaved as she stared intently at him.

After his sarcasm, Xin Lei said casually, "Unfortunately, I can't help you. I don't know where he is."

"He's courting death."

Li Lianhua coldly uttered these four words, then turned and prepared to leave without looking back.

At this moment, Xin Lei used all his strength to break the iron chains in an instant, and used the chains to strangle Li Lianhua's neck, refusing to let go: "Today I will kill you for the Alliance Leader!"

Li Lianhua's veins bulged as she reached out to try and break free, but she couldn't muster any strength.

At the critical moment, a crisp sword sound rang out, and with a "thud," Xin Lei fell heavily to the ground, blood continuously oozing from the back of his neck. His body trembled slightly twice before quickly becoming completely still.

"Cough cough..."

Li Lianhua coughed loudly, covering her neck, and turned around to see Lan Yan standing at the door, exuding a chill.

Even though he couldn't see, when his gaze fell upon the blindfold covering Lan Yan, Li Lianhua felt as if he were burned, and instinctively flinched away.

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Fang Duobing rushed over and was surprised to see what was happening before him.

What's going on?

Lan Yan remained silent, while Li Lianhua weakly explained, "Cough cough... Xin Lei tried to escape and kidnapped me. Lan Yan killed him to save me."

"He really is a wicked person who has committed many evil deeds!"

Fang Duobing stared at Xin Lei's corpse and angrily rebuked him.

"Yeah yeah."

Li Lianhua, unusually, didn't disagree with him and nodded in agreement. She walked awkwardly to Lan Yan's side and said, "Now that everything's over, I'll be going."

In the instant they passed each other, Lan Yan reached out precisely and grasped his wrist: "Together."

"Yeah, let's go together, what's the rush?"

Fang Duobing also hurried over, not giving Li Lianhua a chance to slip away first.

"Okay, together," Li Lianhua felt an unbearable burning sensation where Lan Yan was holding her, and inexplicably felt guilty. She tried to break free, "I won't run away, Lan Yan, can you let go first?"

Lan Yan didn't speak, but slowly let go of Li Lianhua's hand. Before Li Lianhua could even breathe a sigh of relief, Lan Yan silently followed him, keeping a distance of three steps.

Although he couldn't see, Li Lianhua felt that she couldn't escape either.

...

I think!

Fang Duobing enthusiastically raised his glass, "The three of us make a great team! I have martial arts skills and wisdom, Brother Lan has money, wisdom, and martial arts skills, and you... have half-baked medical skills and a bit of wisdom. The three of us will go out together to uphold justice and roam the world!"

Li Lianhua waved her hand in refusal: "No, I'm perfectly content being a traveling doctor. I have no interest in wandering the martial world with you. I think Young Master Fang doesn't need my wisdom."

Fang Duobing looked at Lan Yan expectantly. Lan Yan smiled but refused decisively: "I have other things to do."

"ah?"

Disappointed and drunk, Fang Duobing pleaded with the two men, "Brother Lan, Li Lianhua, please reconsider. How can I face my master if I can't get into Baichuan Academy?"

"Let go of my hand."

Li Lianhua slapped Fang Duobing's hand away from Lan Yan. Fang Duobing glared at him unhappily, raised his wine jug to the moon, and sighed, "Master, I will definitely support the Si Gu Sect and Bai Chuan Academy that you built with your own hands..."

Upon hearing this, both Lan Yan and Li Lianhua turned to look at him.

While observing Fang's sickly appearance and searching through his memories, Li Lianhua also had time to notice Lan Yan's changes. Indeed, he cared deeply for Li Xiangyi, but why?

"Your master is Li Xiangyi?"
