Chapter 349 Senior Brother?

Li Lianhua was adrift in an abyss of darkness and pain, her consciousness hazy, as if she were in a chaotic realm shrouded in mist.

The poison of the green tea was like a bone-deep abscess, each attack feeling as if it were tearing his soul from his body. However, just when he was in despair, a strange comfort quietly seeped into his senses.

The poison of the green tea, which had been raging like a raging torrent within his body, seemed to have encountered its natural enemy. It no longer rampaged wildly, but was being peeled away little by little from his bones and tendons.

In a daze, he felt as if he were gently placed in a pool of warm water, all the pores of his body opening up, an unprecedented feeling of lightness spreading through his body like ripples. Although he was still trapped in darkness and unable to open his eyes, his thoughts, like the surface of a lake touched by a spring breeze, gradually became clear.

Is it Lan Yan?

He felt someone's hands pressing against his back, and internal energy flowed into his body like a warm current.

Wherever the warm current reached, the Yangzhou Slow within the body seemed to be awakened from its slumber, galloping joyfully. This external force, though not actually Yangzhou Slow, merged with it with remarkable harmony, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, joining hands to fight against the poison of the green tea.

Even at this moment, Li Lianhua couldn't help but wonder, who exactly is Lan Yan?

Could he be his master's son? But judging from his appearance, it seems unlikely that his master could have fathered such a handsome son.

Could it be his unseen martial uncle? But his master's personality doesn't seem like he can keep things to himself...

Lost in thought, Li Lianhua quickly felt the poison in his body, the Jade Tea Poison, being suppressed. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood, sensing that about one-tenth of the poison had been eliminated. Even though he couldn't open his eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

So why did Lan Yan expend so much internal energy to help him? Why did he know his swordsmanship? Why could his internal energy cultivation method be integrated with his?

Li Lianhua, who was helped to lie down with a belly full of questions, was thinking that she must not back down when he was fully awake and must ask him clearly. But she was caught off guard and her true identity was exposed.

"Xiangyi..."

Li Lianhua, conscious but not physically awake, froze. Although she had guessed that Xin Lei's scheme had been exposed, guessing and confirming were two different things!

You're so dense! Think it through! When exactly did you see Lan Yan?

A hand as smooth and delicate as jade gently brushed across his face, making Li Lianhua feel very uncomfortable. He guessed that Lan Yan was trying to recognize his appearance.

However, the damage to his appearance caused by the poison of the Jade Tea was irreversible. At this moment, he felt somewhat sad and regretful. His familiar old friends did not recognize him, and Lan Yan... how could someone he hadn't even met before recognize him?

That's fine too; it'll make him misunderstand and admit his mistake, and it'll save him some trouble.

Despite thinking this, Li Lianhua couldn't control the disappointment in her heart.

Lan Yan's hand hesitated for a moment, then quickly withdrew from his face. See...

“You idiot who only grows older but not smarter, I owe you one,” Lan Yan flicked Li Lianhua’s forehead. “You brat, you’re having such a miserable time in this new world… If you don’t want to be Li Xiangyi, then be Li Lianhua. Your senior brother will clean up your mess…”

"Tsk, if Xiang Xian finds out, he'll say I've spoiled you... Oh well, what can I do? I'm your senior brother..."

Lan Yan patted Li Lianhua's head one last time, tucked the blanket around him, and then quietly walked out.

Hearing the bedroom door close, Li Lianhua's head nearly exploded. Perhaps for a moment, perhaps for a long time, Li Lianhua suddenly sat up.

He stared blankly as the sunlight streamed in through the window and sighed deeply.

"Senior brother?"

Lan Yan is his senior brother, but who is Shan Gu Dao? And who is Xiang Xian? What does "changing worlds" mean?

Li Lianhua didn't think much of the appearance of divine weapons like the White Sword, which seemed to possess human-like abilities, but at this moment, his worldview was truly collapsing.

"Three thousand worlds?"

Remembering that Lan Yan once said that he had two junior brothers surnamed Li, could it be Li Xiangyi, or Li... Xiangxian?

Why did this name, which was similar to his, feel so familiar to him?

Li Lianhua couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He had a feeling that before the poison from the green tea killed him, he would be driven crazy by the mystery surrounding Lan Yan, and the key was that it was not easy to ask him!

Lan Yan clearly didn't mean to make things clear!

Is it that he doesn't want to talk about it, or is there some kind of restriction between different worlds? If he's from another world, how did he come to this one? Is his eye the price? And who is he looking for? Could it be Lee Sang-hyun?

Before she knew it, Li Lianhua had fallen into deep thought again.

...

Without Lan Yan's financial support, Fang Duobing had no choice but to turn to selling jade pendants.

Late at night, Fang Duobing, along with Wangfu and Li'er, arrived at an inn.

After listening to the waiter's rambling, Wangfu and Li'er stepped over the brazier and entered the inn. Looking at the brightly lit lobby, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Duobing turned his head and saw Li Lianhua and Lan Yan sitting at the table eating watermelon.

"Know when to stop."

Lan Yan gently slapped Li Lianhua's hand away as she reached for the watermelon. Li Lianhua sighed, "I've only eaten one slice."

"Watermelon is cooling in nature. You are still recuperating, so it's best to eat less of it."

"Alright."

Li Lianhua reluctantly withdrew her hand, and looking at Lan Yan's self-righteous manner, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Ever since he was saved by Lan Yan after suffering a stroke from the poison, Lan Yan had taken full control of his food and drink without giving a reason, and he dared not ask. The two of them continued their relationship in this way, separated by a thin veil.

Li Lianhua felt somewhat aggrieved. Wasn't he supposed to be indulged? Where was the indulgence? Did he get treated differently in a different world? In what way was Li Lianhua inferior to Li Xiangyi?

"Okay, I've found you."

Fang Duobing placed the sword on the table, sat down without any ceremony, and picked up a watermelon to start eating.

"Sigh..." Li Lianhua felt sorry for her. "It's like a cow chewing on a peony."

"Shut up!" Fang Duobing glared at Li Lianhua, then finished a whole slice of watermelon before calming down. He turned to Lan Yan with a wronged expression, "Brother Lan, why did you leave me behind? I can understand if you have other things to do, and it's fine if you don't want to travel with me, but why did you go with Li Lianhua?"

What's wrong with coming with me?

"You're weak and helpless, yet you're full of lies and poor," Fang Duobing said angrily, pointing to the watermelon on the table. "This chilled watermelon was clearly paid for by Brother Lan!"

"What's wrong? Are you envious?" Li Lianhua smiled provocatively at him. "There's nothing I can do about being envious. Lan Yan just wants to be with me."

"you!"

Fang Duobing was furious and turned to look at Lan Yan with pleading eyes: "Brother Lan."

Lan Yan avoided answering the question and instead asked only one: "How is your sword practice going?"

Fang Duobing's attention was instantly diverted, and he replied with great interest, "I have been practicing diligently, but there are still some parts I don't quite understand."

"Then tell me, and I'll analyze it for you."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Lan..."

Looking at Fang Duobing, who was gazing at Lan Yan with adoration and chattering incessantly, Li Lianhua couldn't help but shake her head. He was still so easily fooled; he really was a greenhorn.
