However, it was Yu Xin and Liang Yihan standing outside the door.
Liuli paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Liang Yihan?"
Liang Yihan laughed and said, "Miss, you've been quite a handful of me. If it weren't for my Daoist disciples seeing your companion in this small town, I really wouldn't have been able to find you."
Liuli asked suspiciously, "Is there something you need?"
Liang Yihan smiled and said, "There is indeed something I need to discuss, young lady. Would you mind coming inside to talk in detail?"
"Okay." Liuli nodded, turned around and gestured for him to come in, saying, "Please come in."
Seeing this, Yu Xin laughed and said, "Then you two chat, I'm going to the front building to listen to the story!"
"Want to hear a story?" Liuli frowned, waved her hand, and said, "Go on."
"Yes," Yu Xin replied cheerfully, then turned and ran away.
Liang Yihan and Liuli entered the guest room together. He closed the door behind him and said with a smile, "The people with you are listening to a storyteller telling a historical tale upstairs. Why didn't you go and listen?"
Liuli paused, her mind reeling. Suddenly, she remembered the time when she and Shichan were helping people suffering from the war in Moyan Prefecture. In a small town, they met a storyteller, and she could still vaguely recall the story he told, as if she had witnessed it herself.
A moment later, Liuli walked forward again and said indifferently, "Too boring."
Liang Yihan shook his head and smiled, found a chair next to the round table and sat down. Looking at Liuli sitting opposite him, he said, "You won a great victory in the battle at Bodhi Temple, Miss. I have come to congratulate you."
"What's there to be happy about?" Liuli said calmly, "I failed to wipe out the entire Bodhi Temple."
Liang Yihan said softly, "Bodhi Temple has been established for hundreds of years and has a huge influence. It is already extremely difficult for you to kill half of the people in the temple in one fell swoop."
Liu Li was unwilling to beat around the bush with Liang Yihan any longer. She frowned and asked directly, "Young Master Liang, you didn't come here just to celebrate my arrival, did you? May I ask what brings you here?"
Liang Yihan smiled gently, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He said with a smile, "We had a pleasant cooperation in the battle at Bodhi Temple. I would like to ask if you have any plans for revenge against the Buddhist sects in the Central Plains. I, Liang Yihan, am willing to lend you another helping hand."
"Thank you." A hint of wariness crept into Liuli's heart. She shook her head and said, "But I don't have any plans for now. If I need your help in the future, I will definitely ask."
“What a pity…” Liang Yihan lowered his eyes and said with regret, “The Buddhist sect has bullied the Taoist sect for many years. Fifty years ago, they even suppressed the Taoist sect to the point of having no hope of recovery. Now, it’s not easy to find a young lady who can help us to fight against the Buddhist sect’s power… Alas.”
Liuli looked at Liang Yihan with wary eyes. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Don't worry, my hatred for Buddhism is deeper than that for Taoism. As long as I, Liuli, live, I will definitely make sure Buddhism is never at peace!"
"That's good, that's good..." Liang Yihan nodded with a smile. After a pause, he continued, "By the way, young lady, I went to Bodhi Temple to investigate the casualties. The abbot there told me that the three sects of Buddhism each sent some elite disciples to gather together, about three hundred people. These three hundred people are searching everywhere and trying to kill you. Please be careful, young lady."
Liuli's face darkened, filled with anger. She took a deep breath to barely suppress her anger, but her voice was still somewhat low as she said, "Thank you for reminding me, young master. I understand."
"That's it!" Liang Yihan suddenly clapped his hands and laughed. He said cheerfully, "I've thought of something that might help you kill these Buddhist disciples who are searching for you everywhere!"
"What?" Liuli became increasingly hesitant, and her wariness of Liang Yihan deepened.
Liang Yihan took out two medicine bottles from his storage ring and said with a smile, "I was idly flipping through ancient books the other day and became very interested in a poison recorded in them. Coincidentally, I had the complete ingredients on the mountain, so I made these two bottles of Thousand Poison Powder according to the prescription. If you sprinkle the powder in this bottle into the air, just a small bottle of powder can poison hundreds of people. As long as they are cultivators, once they inhale this powder, they will immediately lose all their spiritual power, become weak in their limbs, and be completely unable to move."
"I can give both bottles of Thousand Poison Powder to you, Miss. After you have laid an ambush, I will lead those three hundred-plus elite Buddhist disciples to you. Then, when you sprinkle the powder, those Buddhist disciples will be at your mercy."
Liuli took a medicine bottle from Liang Yihan's hand and examined it from all angles. A sneer appeared on her lips as she said, "So you Taoists can also concoct poisons? Do you even grow medicinal herbs for making poisons on your Taoist mountains?"
Liang Yihan paused for a moment, then lowered his head, shook his head, and smiled. The Yuandao Sect truly didn't possess the ingredients to refine this Thousand Poison Powder; these ingredients were ones he had painstakingly gathered many years ago.
Liuli withdrew her gaze from the medicine bottle, raised her eyes to look at Liang Yihan, her gaze icy, and sneered, "When I sprinkle this powder, do you think I won't inhale the poison? Young Master Liang, you don't intend to wipe out those three hundred-plus Buddhist monks and me, Liuli, in one fell swoop, do you?"
Liang Yihan shook his head and chuckled, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You are my friend, so how could I harm you? I have concocted the poison, and I have also concocted the antidote. As long as you and your subordinates take the antidote beforehand, you will be fine."
As he spoke, Liang Yihan took out another medicine bottle, poured out a pill from the bottle, and handed it to Liuli.
Liuli took the pill, holding it in one hand and the bottle of poison powder in the other. Her expression was inscrutable, and she lowered her eyes, deep in thought, without saying a word.
Liang Yihan carefully examined all the expressions on Liuli's face, even his smile froze on his lips.
After a long while, Liuli finally looked up at Liang Yihan, who immediately changed his expression and looked at Liuli with a smile.
Liu Li had seen Liang Yihan's expression a moment ago and sneered inwardly. She stood up and said calmly, "Let's go, let's go to the front building."
Liang Yihan was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Go find people to test the medicine," Liuli replied calmly, and left first.
Liang Yihan stepped behind Liuli, a slight, icy smile playing on his lips.
Liu Li and Liang Yihan arrived at the front building one after the other. It was not mealtime, and the hall on the first floor was empty except for a table where a storyteller dressed as a scholar was sitting. Yu Xin, Ge Yiyuan, Ji Jue, and Lang Yuan sat around another table, while Lingxi lay on her side on the table. All three of them and the two demons stared intently at the storyteller who was talking loudly.
The storyteller was originally telling stories in a teahouse in the city. Yu Xin and Ge Yiyuan were extremely interested in the stories he told, so they invited him over with a combination of threats and inducements. They originally wanted Liuli to listen to the stories and please her, but unfortunately Liuli didn't come at all. Instead, the three of them and the two demons enjoyed listening to the stories.
