Chapter 366 Good Things Come in Pairs
"Tsk"
"Oh"
"snort"
"well"
Speak like a human.
Lan Yan gently placed his teacup on the table, and instantly all the strange exclamations and interjections in the Lotus Pavilion disappeared.
"It still has to be Brother Lan."
Fang Duobing sighed in admiration, while Li Lianhua gave him a complicated look. Was he just thick-skinned or clueless? Was this all he could think of at a time like this?
What else?
Fang Duobing glared back, his eyes swearing. What could a little coward like him say at a time like this? With two Jiao Liqiaos and two Di Feishengs, what could he do? He was already showing his strength by not fainting, alright.
Yes, at this moment, two beautiful screens appeared in the Lotus Pavilion, along with two flute sounds.
Not long ago, Li Xiangxian, frustrated with her lack of progress, slapped Jiao Liqiao across the face. Before she could retaliate, she was so provoked by the truth revealed in Li Xiangxian's words that she lost her voice.
Seeing that Lan Yan had no intention of persuading her, and that Li Lianhua was lost in thought, Fang Duobing was just wondering if it was time for him to consider the bigger picture and step forward when the familiar suction force appeared again.
Before he could panic, the space in front of him suddenly tore open, and a woman and two men fell down with a thud. Then the spatial rift disappeared instantly, as if it had been there just to deliver these three people.
"Old Di?"
"Aqiao?"
"Brother Lan."
"Little Flute?"
"Your Excellency!"
After a flurry of chatter, the scene shifted to two beautiful women facing each other, while two flute players stood far apart, seemingly disgusted with each other.
Jiao Liqiao was shocked and confused by the series of changes. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment, and with red marks on her head, she was speechless with helplessness.
However, the young Aqiao, who had transmigrated, learned of Jiao Liqiao's actions from Li Xiangxian. He immediately sneered and mocked, "You've really embarrassed me! Why don't you change your name?"
Looking at this face, which was the same as hers but younger and healthier, clearly unaffected by any cultivation techniques, Jiao Liqiao felt both displeasure and jealousy: "Why should I? Who do you think you are?"
“Tsk,” Aqiao couldn’t help but shake her head, “At your age, what can’t you do but pursue love? And to make matters worse, you’ve set your sights on Di Feisheng. You’re brainless and have no taste.”
Xiao Di, who was inexplicably targeted, was unhappy and retorted coldly, "It has nothing to do with me, it's him."
Old Di Feisheng felt a surge of anger as he was met with Xiao Di's disdainful gaze. Who said that people should love themselves the most? He was furious with Xiao Di during their time together; they were mutually disgusted.
Too lazy to look at him, Di Feisheng frowned and turned to the disheveled Jiao Liqiao: "So, it was you who poisoned Li Xiangyi that made me win?"
I knew Di Feisheng was a martial arts fanatic, but I didn't know he was this obsessed.
These words made Fang Duobing feel sorry for Jiao Liqiao, and he turned to look at her. Sure enough, Jiao Liqiao's face had turned pale, and she looked at Di Feisheng with red eyes: "Your Excellency, I did all this for you..."
"I have no need for such petty tricks. I want to defeat Li Xiangyi fair and square!"
"Pshaw, dreaming." Xiao Di couldn't help but scoff.
Di Feisheng glared at him and retorted, "You have no ambition!"
Seeing Jiao Liqiao almost brought to tears by Di Feisheng's lack of romantic understanding, Aqiao curled her lips and said, "Sure enough, being love-struck doesn't end well. I'm telling you, you have the same face as me. If you want to find a man to play around with, why are you hanging yourself on Di Feisheng? Just wave your hand, there are plenty of men out there."
"..." After Aqiao's sincere persuasion, the Lotus Pavilion immediately fell silent.
After a long silence, Li Xiangxian gritted his teeth and suppressed his temper, questioning Lan Yan: "Senior brother, what exactly did you teach Aqiao?"
“No—” Lan Yan shook his head innocently, “Aqiao is intelligent.”
Li Xiangxian sneered, "So you understand immediately, huh? You just pointed it out once?"
"Xiangxian, you understand me."
“You said the same thing when Xiangyi stole bear honey from the mountain and the bear came to his house.”
"That's called being frugal."
"Will you use Master's frugal money to buy osmanthus cakes for us?"
"Didn't you eat?"
"..."
"So Li Xiangyi had this side to him when he was young."
Fang Duobing was very excited to suddenly hear this gossip, even though this Li Xiangyi was not the same Li Xiangyi as before, he was still very excited.
Pulling Fang Duobing's hand off her arm, Li Lianhua, feeling inexplicably embarrassed, forced a smile and said through gritted teeth in a low voice, "There are so many people here, you should tone it down a bit."
"Alright, it's getting late. What's the point of all of us gathering here?"
Lan Yan considered himself to be very magnanimous and would give Xiang Xian a way out, so he casually changed the subject.
"The Lotus Tower is too small to accommodate so many people. Let's have one person with each person. I'll take Duobing, Xiangxian will take Huahua, Aqiao will take Jiaoliqiao, and Laodi and Xiaodi will go together. That's a happy decision."
"You're sickly, let's go, let's reserve a room first."
Lan Yan smiled and waved to Fang Duobing, who smiled broadly and glanced smugly at Li Lianhua: "Hehe, Brother Lan still likes me quite a bit."
Li Lianhua snorted coldly. Leaving aside other reasons, there's no need to say much to deal with a fool. As for Lan Yan's personality, of course he would choose Fang Duobing.
He had already seen through it all, but seeing Fang Duobing's excited appearance still annoyed him a bit, and he couldn't help but complain: "It's time for Lan Yan to go to sleep. I called you because I was afraid you would disturb his rest, you idiot."
Fang Duobing thought about it and realized that Lan Yan really never stayed up late, no matter the time; he always went to bed on time. But even that didn't stop him from smugly saying, "Anyway, you don't get this kind of treatment—"
After saying that, he followed Lan Yan upstairs with a scurry trot.
After the two left, Aqiao spoke first: "I'll take her to clear her head."
He grabbed Jiao Liqiao by the collar and easily led her away from Lotus Tower. He didn't bother with the others, trusting that Aqiao could handle it.
The remaining four sat down around the table and began to discuss in tacit understanding what had happened in the two worlds during this time.
"After Xiangyi returned, he learned about Nan Yin's affairs."
Hearing Xiao Di address him like that, Li Lianhua couldn't help but shudder. He found it hard to believe that in another world, he actually had a good relationship with Di Feisheng.
Li Xiangxian sighed, "I originally planned to handle everything regarding Nan Yin's matter before telling Xiang Yi, but I didn't expect such an unexpected turn of events."
The people of Nan Yin came looking for him less than two years after he and Xiang Yi settled in Yunyin Mountain. Although he was surprised by his own background, he had no intention of overthrowing the country.
Therefore, under his strong persuasion, Feng Qing and the others also let go of their obsessions.
However, the descendants of Nan Yin did not live well. Although Li Xiangxian was unwilling to overthrow the country, he took on the responsibility of supporting the lives of these people.
His medical skills, Gu techniques, and poison skills are all related to Nan Yin, so naturally he has to consider Nan Yin's interests even more.
The trip to the First-Class Tomb had two purposes: the Moro Cauldron and the wealth within. No one had anticipated such an unexpected turn of events.
"I have obtained the Karmic Fire Gu, and the Gu worms in my body have been forced out."
Xiao Di stretched out his hand with a relaxed expression. Back then, he had just escaped from Di Family Fortress and was unconscious on the road when he was rescued by Lan Yan. Later, it was Li Xiangxian who learned about the Gu technique and discovered what kind of Gu worm was in his body.
He joined Nan Yin's team partly because he didn't really have anywhere he wanted to go, and partly because of the Karmic Fire Gu, in order to remove the Gu worms controlling his body.
"Gu worms?"
