Chapter 356 Park Hoe Mountain
"Li Lianhua, why haven't you gone back all these years? Wasn't it you who founded the Sigumen Baichuan Academy?"
As the night deepened, Li Lianhua, who was sitting by the campfire in a daze, looked at Li Xiangyi, who had come over to sit down as if they were old friends, and raised an eyebrow: "Your body has recovered?"
"No problem."
Li Xiangyi waved his hand dismissively, poking the fire with a twig. "I can't do it myself, but with my senior brother's help, my blocked meridians were cleared quickly. Although my power hasn't fully recovered, it's more than enough to beat you up."
Li Lianhua couldn't help but snort. What an impolite brat! "Is the number one in the world here to bully the weak?"
"Oh, you're too kind. I'm not the best in the world," Li Xiangyi joked, but when he noticed Li Lianhua wasn't smiling, he withdrew his hand and turned to look at him. "You're not weak either. We're like family. How could I not know you?"
"You understand me?" Li Lianhua was skeptical. A young man just entering the martial world. Even if that young man was her past self, how could he understand her now without experiencing trials and tribulations?
"To be precise, I understand myself."
Li Xiangyi dropped his playful grin, placed his hands on the grass, and looked up at the night sky: "Li Xiangyi is not someone who gives up easily, no matter what he encounters or what kind of predicament he falls into. Just like I want to become the best in the world, I will keep striving towards that goal. And you... no matter if you become a lotus or a lotus root, you will definitely still have a goal in your heart that you must achieve. The poison of the Jade Tea cannot stop you, and nothing else can stop you."
Li Xiangyi turned his head, his eyes shining like bright stars, and looked earnestly at Li Lianhua: "How about it? Was I right?"
"Don't talk so much nonsense, you little kid." Li Lianhua turned his face away, not daring to meet his gaze, not daring to look back at her once dazzling self.
“What is this?” Li Lianhua sat up straight and couldn’t help but mutter, “We are still a little different, Li Lianhua, you’ve become timid. I know it even if you don’t say it. You don’t even dare to go back to Sigumen. If it were me, I would have fought back.”
Recalling everything she heard after rising from the East Sea and returning to Sigu Gate, Li Lianhua lowered her eyes and smiled sadly, "I guess I'm just a coward."
Li Xiangyi suddenly reached out and hooked his arm around Li Lianhua's shoulder, saying, "Take my advice: those who abandon me, yesterday is gone forever."
Li Lianhua slapped his hand away and changed the subject: "Are you this friendly with everyone? I wasn't like this when I was young, was I?"
“What do you mean by being outgoing? This is called enthusiasm and sincerity,” Li Xiangyi shook his head in disapproval. “You can tell at a glance that you don’t have a good senior brother or a good older brother.”
"Brother?" Li Lianhua was a little dazed. "Is it Li Xiangxian?"
"Yeah, you didn't? That shouldn't be the case, didn't we all follow the same path when we were kids?"
Li Xiangyi was somewhat surprised. What happened to the promised worldly arrangement for me? The family configuration is different now.
"I don't know..." Li Lianhua hesitated, not knowing why he couldn't give a definite answer, since he clearly didn't have any memories of his brother.
“Tell me about it,” Li Lianhua said, looking at Li Xiangyi, at her own still passionate self in another world. “Tell me about your world, your story.”
"Okay, I'll tell you..."
The burning branches crackled, and around the warm campfire, Li Xiangyi gesticulated wildly as he talked animatedly, while Li Lianhua sat quietly, listening to the different version of herself and the different stories from that world.
Looking at the beaming, sun-kissed young Li Xiangyi, Li Lianhua suddenly felt that this wonderful encounter was actually quite nice.
...
"The First-Class Tomb contains the tears of Guanyin, which can greatly enhance the martial arts skills of practitioners and allow those who consume it to quickly recover their strength. It is also said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
"So, shall we go to Yipin Tomb next?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi looked at Li Lianhua.
Li Lianhua looked at his face, then at Di Feisheng, and couldn't help but frown. "Then you two need to wear masks."
"no problem."
Li Xiangyi readily agreed, while Di Feisheng simply uttered a few words: "I know the art of bone shrinking."
"you……"
"I don't think I need to," Lan Yan said innocently.
Li Lianhua really wanted to say that if they ran into the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, her face would be in big trouble. But looking at Lan Yan's expression, she couldn't bring herself to say it. "Never mind."
"Tsk, they're treating us differently."
Pretending not to hear Li Xiangyi's complaint, Li Lianhua continued to ask, "Where is the First-Class Tomb?"
“Pu Chushan, I’ve had my subordinates investigate thoroughly.”
"Wait a minute," Li Lianhua looked at Di Feisheng with disbelief, "You had your subordinates investigate? You've been communicating with the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance?"
Di Feisheng nodded.
Li Lianhua then asked, "So, you also ordered them not to pursue us?"
"Of course, it's because I'm not as skilled as others. What's wrong with letting my subordinates get involved?"
“No,” Li Lianhua said, hands on her hips, “then why don’t you tell me what all the running around I’ve done these past few days counts as?”
Di Feisheng was silent for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "So... you ran fast?"
Li Lianhua rolled up her sleeves: "You'd better pray you run fast later."
"I don't fight with people who have lost all their martial arts skills."
"Then don't fight back!"
Watching Li Lianhua chase after the flute and run all over the building, Li Xiangyi popped a pine nut candy into his mouth and commented with a shake of his head: "A bunch of noobs pecking at each other."
"Then, Li Xiangyi, who is no weakling, will drink this bowl of medicine."
Lan Yan brought out a bowl of medicine that was still steaming hot.
Li Xiangyi pursed his lips and tentatively asked, "Drink this bowl?"
"There's another bowl."
"Can I not drink it?"
Lan Yan smiled and said, "What do you think?"
A threat! A blatant threat! Could Li Xiangyi be threatened?
Okay, he was indeed threatened!
After downing two bowls of medicine in one go, Li Xiangyi crunched on the pine nut candy, "Senior brother, haven't they drunk their medicine yet? I'll do it!"
"Old Di, Hua Hua, it's time for your medicine!"
...
"Hey, isn't this the guy who likes to dump people on the street?"
"What a coincidence!"
Looking at Fang Duobing who suddenly appeared in front of her, Li Lianhua smiled with difficulty. No, how come I keep running into this kid no matter where I go?
Who is it? Who is it?
Li Xiangyi, wearing a face mask, suddenly appeared from behind and looked at Fang Duobing with curiosity.
Fang Duobing also looked over curiously, noticing the mask on his face. Somewhat puzzled, he still politely introduced himself: "I am Fang Duobing."
"Oh, it's Young Master Fang. I've heard Hua Hua mention you."
"Hua Hua? Who are you?" Fang Duobing looked at Li Lianhua in surprise.
Li Lianhua suddenly felt a little ashamed. Before he could speak, Li Xiangyi said impatiently, "Oh, I am... I was picked up by Huahua on the roadside. He is such a good person."
Fang Duobing was shocked and aggrieved: "You dumped me on the roadside and picked him up?"
"Whom to pick up?"
Wearing a black mask, Di Feisheng stood on the other side of Li Lianhua.
Fang Duobing's fingers trembled as he looked at Li Lianhua in disbelief: "You picked up two more?"
