Chapter 369 Attacking the Path of Ten Thousand Saints

"Lan...no, greetings to my eldest master uncle, greetings to my second master uncle—"

Fang Duobing, whose wish had been fulfilled, had a mouth sweeter than honey. When she went out and saw Lan Yan and Li Xiangxian, she greeted them with great enthusiasm.

Lan Yan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Did Hua Hua convince you?"

“You can’t say that,” Fang Duobing waved his hands repeatedly, but he couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips. “Master is just doing this out of good intentions, it’s understandable.”

"You change your mind quickly." Li Xiangxian couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Hua Hua had no choice but to agree to take Fang Duobing as her disciple to avoid his questioning.

So far, the results have been quite impressive.

Fang Duobing really wanted to appear mature and composed, but he couldn't be composed at all. This wasn't just something he said; his master was really Li Xiangyi!

"Oh right, I haven't thanked Master Lan yet. I didn't know that you taught me the 'Bright Moon Sinks into the Western Sea' technique from the Xiangyi Tai Sword."

Fang Duobing looked at Lan Yan with gratitude, feeling a little proud and smug. He had been taught swordsmanship so early, did he think highly of him?

He understood that his master was just being hypocritical; he wanted to take him as a disciple but was too embarrassed to do so.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Full of energy, Fang Duobing excitedly bid them farewell: "I'm going to practice martial arts now. Master will be checking on me later, so I'm leaving first—"

Watching Fang Duobing's happy figure disappear into the distance, Li Xiangxian couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, shall we make a bet? I bet Hua Hua deliberately sent Fang Duobing away."

"Do we need to gamble on this? Of course," Lan Yan said slowly as he walked forward. "As the saying goes, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near me becomes wise.' Hua Hua has been very well influenced by me."

He was still amused by his senior's shamelessness, and Li Xiangxian teased, "Is it that those who are close to you are cunning?"

"What cunning?"

Li Lianhua pushed open the door and came out, having changed into new clothes. His complexion had improved considerably after being detoxified. He now looked much more energetic.

"Why did you agree to take him as your apprentice?"

Without continuing the previous topic, Lee Sang-hyun asked jokingly.

Li Lianhua couldn't help but frown, really unwilling to recall her entanglement with Fang Duobing.

To be honest, he regretted it after pushing Lan Yan and Li Xiangxian, who were watching the play, out. Who would have thought that Fang Duobing could be more uninhibited without anyone else around?

With tears streaming down his face, he made accusations so intense that he even doubted whether he was some heinous villain.

To prevent the Lotus Pavilion from being flooded, he had no choice but to "sacrifice himself for others" and accept the master-disciple relationship that Fang Duobing could not refuse.

On the one hand, he wanted to live a peaceful life, and on the other hand, seeing that brat's persistence made him realize that Li Xiangyi in the past was not really so useless. He was remembered and admired by some people and had a positive influence on others.

For Fang Duobing's persistence, and for the sake of my former self, taking him as a disciple is not a problem.

Of course, as for whether he intended to use his master's name to cause trouble for Fang Xiaobao, that's... that's the master's job!

"Even people with multiple illnesses have changed their tune, when will you change your tune?"

Lan Yan suddenly asked a question, and Li Lianhua didn't react for a moment, subconsciously asking, "What change of address?"

Lan Yan leaned against the railing and called out to Fang Duobing outside, "Duobing!"

"Yes, what's up, Senior Uncle?"

Lan Yan turned his head slightly upon hearing the sound, and even though Li Lianhua was blindfolded, she could feel the intense heat.

Lee Sang-hyun chimed in, "Sickly!"

"Yes, Second Uncle, what is it?"

“See?” Li Xiangxian turned to Li Lianhua and sighed, “Even your apprentice changed her tune faster than you, Huahua—”

"Flower—"

Faced with the two smiling calls, Li Lianhua took two steps back, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. That wretched Fang Duobing, doesn't his master have any dignity?

Putting everything else aside, he's already thirty years old. How could he possibly call two people in their early twenties "senior brother" and "brother"?

Where does this swift change of heart leave him?

"Fang Xiaobao, extra practice!"

"Huh? Master, why?"

...

Soon after, Di Feisheng and Xiao Di returned after dealing with the matters of Di Family Fortress. They also managed to find out about Shan Gudao's scheme and the Wanshengdao behind him by taking advantage of the captured Jiao Liqiao and the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance.

Therefore, everyone's next goal was clear: to reach the Path of Ten Thousand Saints.

"Excuse me, is this the headquarters of the Wanshengdao?"

The gatekeeper remained wary of the group of people who suddenly appeared before him. But when he saw Li Lianhua politely asking questions, he nodded blankly.

Seeing him nod, Li Lianhua continued to ask, "Then may I ask if your alliance leader is here?"

"Yes...yes."

"Please pass on the message that someone is here to cause trouble."

"Oh, okay... wreak havoc?"

The gatekeeper, suddenly realizing what was happening, looked up in shock, met Li Lianhua's gaze for three seconds, then turned and rushed inside, shouting, "Brothers, someone's causing trouble—"

"Tsk." Xiao Di, wearing a mask in the crowd, couldn't help but shake her head. "Why not just charge in? What's the point of all this nonsense?"

"This is called 'courtesy first, then force'."

Ever since successfully becoming Li Lianhua's apprentice, Fang Duobing has gone from being a hater of flowers to a fanboy. In short, whatever his master Li Lianhua does is right!

Xiao Di rolled her eyes at Fang Duobing speechlessly, and looking at Li Lianhua's back, she commented with one word: "Pretentious."

"What do you know..."

Before Fang Duobing could continue speaking, Xiao Di drew her broadsword and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Charge in!"

Xiao Di took the lead, followed closely by Fang Duobing. Li Lianhua used his own Shaoshi sword from another world to clear the way in the middle, followed by Li Xiangxian, who could use the "Weakness Powder" with a wave of his hand, and Lan Yan, who walked slowly at the back, ostensibly to cover the rear but actually to slack off.

Having missed a single one, Lan Yan, feeling somewhat bored following behind, couldn't help but say, "Have we been overestimating the Myriad Saints Path? It seems like the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance won't even get a chance to make an appearance."

To ensure absolute safety, Di Feisheng returned to the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance and, with his followers, spread a wide net around the perimeter to ensure that no one from the Myriad Saints Path could escape.

Xiao Di casually knocked out one of the people rushing towards him and remarked, "With five of us, we can easily field three and a half world-class experts. Dealing with a bunch of rabble shouldn't be a problem."

"How come there are only three and a half? Who are you talking about with the half?" Fang Duobing shouted indignantly, looking down on whoever he was. Li Xiangxian was his second senior uncle. "Second senior uncle's poison skills are just too amazing!"

"So, Lee Sang-hyun counts as one too."

"That's not right, how did you calculate it?"

"Because you're considered negative half, if we add you in, we'll deduct half, making it three and a half."

"How come I'm only half negative?"

"I've already been very tactful."

Xiao Di deflected a hidden weapon aimed at Fang Duobing with a sincere expression.

Fang Duobing was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth, but Xiao Di had just saved his life again. How infuriating!

"Who dares to trespass on my Path of Ten Thousand Saints!"
