Chapter 158 Little Lotus Seed Travels to Drama 7
Three days later, at Pudu Temple.
Originally, Li Lianhua and the others planned to go back to Yunyin Mountain to see Granny Cen first, but halfway there, they heard that Sigu Sect was going to hold a sword appreciation competition, and the prize was Li Xiangyi's Junior Master Sword. They decided to go and take a look, but when they arrived, it hadn't started yet, so Li Lianhua thought that since they were already there, they might as well go and see Wu Liao, so as not to have him nagging them every day.
However, Di Feisheng had to leave midway through, and before leaving, Li Lianhua gave him Guanyin's Tears. Now that Li Lianhua's poison has been cured and his internal strength has been restored, he is in excellent health, so there was no use for him, and he simply gave it to Di Feisheng.
Li Lianhua took Xiao Lianzi to see Master Wuliao. As soon as they entered Pudu Temple, a young novice monk led them to Master Wuliao. Master Wuliao was meditating in his meditation room. Upon seeing Li Lianhua, he slowly opened his eyes and revealed a gentle smile: "Sect Leader Li, how have you been?" Li Lianhua smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Venerable Wuliao, it's been a long time." Master Wuliao stood up, looked at Xiao Lianzi, and asked with a look of astonishment: "And who is this?"
Li Lianhua introduced with some pride, "This is Xiao Lianzi, my son." Xiao Lianzi obediently bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
Master Wu Liao was slightly taken aback. Although he had guessed something when he saw the small face that resembled Sect Master Li's, it was still somewhat unbelievable that this was a direct confirmation. However, he was also somewhat relieved, as it seemed that Sect Master Li had indeed been living a good life all these years.
He led them to a side hall, and after they sat down, Master Wule took Li Lianhua's pulse with concern. After a while, he put his hand down and said, "The poison is gone. It seems that Sect Leader Li has encountered some kind of opportunity."
Li Lianhua waved her hand and laughed, "Just lucky." Master Wule didn't ask any further questions, but turned to look at Xiao Lianzi and said gently, "Little benefactor is clever and lovely, and will surely have great fortune in the future."
Little Lotus raised a smile and said in a clear voice, "Thank you for your kind words, Master. I will be as capable as my father in the future."
Li Lianhua patted Xiao Lianzi's head and smiled, "Then you'd better work hard."
Little Lotus said softly, "I'm not as strong as my dad now, but I'm much stronger than him. I can beat 100 of you."
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua was speechless. "You brat, who told you to speak such blunt truths?"
Master Wuliao chatted with them for a few more minutes before a young novice came to report that the sword appreciation competition was about to begin. Li Lianhua stood up and said to Master Wuliao, "Monk, I'll go check out the sword appreciation competition first, and come back to find you when I have time." Master Wuliao nodded, "Amitabha!"
Li Lianhua brought Xiao Lianzi to the conference venue, where they saw the Junior Master Sword placed on a high platform, surrounded by martial arts figures who were discussing it animatedly.
"Should I go and get your sword back for you?" Di Feisheng appeared beside Li Lianhua without her noticing.
Li Lianhua waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It will meet a suitable master." Though he said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Li Lianhua, I've finally found you! You've abandoned me again!" Fang Duobing scanned the crowd as soon as he arrived and spotted Li Lianhua. He then rushed over angrily.
Before Li Lianhua could speak, Xiao Lianzi's clear voice rang out, "Who are you? What do you mean by 'abandoned you and ran away'? Did my father say he would take you with him? Why do you act like my father has wronged you the moment we meet?"
Fang Duobing was taken aback by Xiao Lianzi's retort, staring wide-eyed at the child who looked somewhat like Li Lianhua. "You... how can you talk like that, little brat? Li Lianhua, when did you have a son? How come I didn't know?"
Little Lotus rolled her eyes. "Why would my father want you to know?"
Fang Duobing was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You...you..."
Li Lianhua said calmly, "Alright, Fang Duobing, he's just a child, why are you arguing with him?"
Fang Duobing pointed at himself, nearly bursting with anger. "Me, hold a grudge? He..."
Di Feisheng, standing to the side, crossed his arms and said coldly, "It's quite something for a grown man to be arguing with a child."
"Fine, I won't argue with you, okay?" Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Fang Duobing angrily turned his head to look at the stage, not wanting to pay any more attention to them.
While they were talking, Xiao Zijin on stage intimately embraced Qiao Wanmian.
Li Lianhua's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless. Little Lianzi noticed Li Lianhua's unusual behavior, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Father, you mustn't let Mother down."
Li Lianhua shook his head helplessly. He had never even met Xiao Lianzi's mother, so how could he have let her down? However, he really didn't have any feelings for Miss Qiao now; he was just a little uncomfortable suddenly seeing an old friend.
At this moment, Xiao Zijin began to speak: "As we all know, this Junior Master is Li Xiangyi's sword. Ever since the Junior Master fell into the East Sea with Li Xiangyi, we have been searching for him for a long time. After ten years of searching, we have finally found him."
