Seeing Yang Buhui kneel down in fear, Li Huan barely suppressed a laugh.
"You accuse Xiao Zhao of being sneaky and suspicious, yet you yourself were secretly eavesdropping outside the door. What are your true intentions?!"
Yang Buhui hurriedly explained, "I hid outside the door to prevent Xiao Zhao from using her beauty to bewitch the sect leader..."
Li Huan asked in a serious tone, "Look at me, the leader of this sect, am I afraid of being seduced by beauty?"
Yang Buhui replied, "Not only is the leader not afraid of being seduced by beauty, but it seems... it seems that he also enjoys beauty..."
Li Huan finally smiled and said gently, "Get up."
Yang Buhui stood up and glanced at Xiao Zhao sideways.
Li Huan said, "You don't need to be jealous of Xiao Zhao, she's willing to serve me! If you want to serve me, I'd be happy to!"
Yang Buhui said, "My father is the Left Envoy of the Brightness Sect, how can I be a maid?"
Li Huan raised an eyebrow slightly: "If you're going to serve me, why should you act like a maid?"
In an instant, Yang Buhui understood, and her face flushed with embarrassment.
Li Huan said, "I brought Xiao Zhao to the bedroom to find out how she dressed when her hands and feet were locked in black iron shackles."
"It turns out that Xiao Zhao's clothes were designed with two pieces that were joined together, making them easy to put on and take off, which was pretty much what I guessed."
"No regrets, you're very clever to have come up with such a brilliant idea!"
Upon receiving the praise, Yang Buhui immediately broke into a smile.
Li Huan pondered that Yang Buhui was only sixteen or seventeen years old when she married Yin Liting, who was forty years old, so it was definitely not out of love.
In Yang Buhui's heart, she felt more sympathy for Yin Liting and felt guilty towards him.
Out of a desire to atone for her parents' sins, Yang Buhui took meticulous care of the severely injured Yin Liting, and over time, feelings naturally developed between them.
However, Yang Buhui's feelings for Yin Liting were by no means romantic love!
It can be said that Yang Buhui's marriage to Yin Liting was rather unusual.
Yin Liting's fiancée, Ji Xiaofu, was taken away by Yang Xiao. Yin Liting hated Yang Xiao to the core. Seventeen years later, Yin Liting married Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu's biological daughter!
This kind of thing is unbelievable even in modern society, let alone in feudal ancient society.
Li Huan believes that Yang Xiao accepted Yin Liting as his son-in-law entirely because of Zhang Wuji's repeated persuasion!
Zhang Wuji's goal was to resolve the feud between the Ming Cult and the Wudang Sect.
As a result, Yin Liting, an old man, married the young girl Yang Buhui, winning the heart of the beauty and having the last laugh.
It's unreasonable, even absurd!
When Yang Buhui first fell in love, she either fell for Zhang Wuji, her childhood sweetheart with whom she had shared hardships, or for a great hero with superb martial arts skills who was admired by all.
As it stands now, Yang Buhui has already developed feelings for Li Huan.
This is the sentiment of a young girl, and it makes more sense.
Therefore, Li Huan believes that his journey into "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" not only changed the original plot but also completely altered Yang Buhui's fate...
"Master! When shall we travel overseas to fetch Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King?"
Yang Buhui asked, her expression expectant.
Li Huan said, "We can set off in seven days."
Yang Buhui asked again, "Master, may I come along?"
Li Huan said, "Do you want to go to Ice and Fire Island overseas and experience the exotic scenery?"
Yang Buhui nodded.
Four years ago, she heard Zhang Wuji describe the environment and animals of Icefire Island, and had long yearned for it ever since.
Li Huan said, "As long as your father Yang Xiao agrees, I will take you overseas."
Yang Buhui was overjoyed: "I'll tell my father, and he'll definitely agree."
At this moment, Xiao Zhao picked up the clothes: "Master, please look at how I should wear these clothes."
Li Huan quickly stopped her, saying, "You've already taken them off, there's no need to put them back on."
Xiao Zhao was taken aback.
Li Huan instructed, "Bu Hui, Xiao Zhao's hands and feet are no longer shackled. Prepare several sets of beautiful clothes for her, and don't bully her anymore!"
Yang Buhui obediently followed the order and said to Xiao Zhao, "Go to my room and choose the clothes you like."
Xiao Zhao bowed to Li Huan in gratitude, and then followed Yang Buhui out of the bedroom.
...
Five days later.
He Taichong and Ban Shuxian were carried back to Bright Peak by Kunlun Sect disciples. The couple were emaciated and their faces were black. They had been tortured beyond recognition by the "Golden Silkworm Gu Poison".
Zhang Wuji kept his promise and used his superb medical skills to remove the "Golden Silkworm Gu Poison" from He Taichong and Ban Shuxian.
Li Huan knew that during these five days, the leaders of the Emei Sect, Wudang Sect, Shaolin Sect, Kongtong Sect, and Huashan Sect had been poisoned by the "Ten Fragrant Softening Powder" and had fallen into Cheng Kun's hands.
Because He Taichong and Ban Shuxian were poisoned, Cheng Kun believed they had lost their usefulness and thus gave up on capturing them.
Meanwhile, the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, the stronghold of the Shaolin sect, had also been bloodily subjugated by Zhao Min...
Day 8.
Li Huan led Zhang Wuji, White-browed Eagle King, Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, Xiao Zhao, Yang Buhui, Zhou Dian and others away from Bright Peak to Ice and Fire Island overseas.
Sure enough, they encountered Yin Liting in the desert.
His limbs were crushed by the "Shaolin Vajra Finger" and broken into more than twenty pieces, a truly tragic sight.
Zhang Wuji believed that the murderer must be a master from the Shaolin School.
"Master! My third senior uncle, Yu Daiyan, was injured by the 'Shaolin Vajra Finger' twenty years ago and became a cripple! Now, my sixth senior uncle has also suffered a terrible fate, with all four of his limbs broken!"
"Please, Master, uphold justice for Wuji. Go to Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, find Abbot Kongwen, and find out who harmed my third and sixth martial uncles!"
Li Huan readily agreed and led his team to change their route.
Another day passed, and they arrived at Yumen Pass.
