Chapter 159 Little Lotus Seed Travels Through Time to the Original Drama 8 (The Arrival of Li Lianhua)
Di Feisheng's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone full of sarcasm: "Heh! Li Xiangyi, look at your so-called subordinates. They don't seem to want you back. This sword changed hands several times, but it was finally found. And you? You've been in the East Sea for so long, yet I've never seen them look for you."
Li Lianhua's mood suddenly became heavy and complicated. He had once held a sliver of hope, expecting someone to come looking for him, but reality had dealt him a heavy blow. It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed; after all, he had once been the spirited Li Xiangyi, but now he had fallen to such a state.
Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the sky, startling everyone present.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? There's a hole in the sky!"
Immediately afterwards, a handsome man dressed in blue flew out of the vortex and slowly landed on the stage.
"Father?" Little Lianzi called out from below the stage. Li Lianhua looked at the man in blue with a face full of astonishment. Di Feisheng looked at Li Lianhua and then at the man on the stage, and was also stunned. "Two Li Xiangyi?" (To distinguish between the two Li Lianhua, from now on the play will be called Li Lianhua, and the one in the book will be called Li Xiangyi.)
Li Xiangyi, standing on the stage, heard Xiao Lianzi call him "Dad," so he looked over. When he saw Li Lianhua, he paused for a moment, but then understood. A parallel world?
Just then, Li Xiangyi heard a mournful voice, "Xiangyi? Is that you?" Qiao Wanmian looked at him in disbelief. Then she took a step forward and tried to pull him up.
Li Xiangyi instantly dodged to the side, wishing he could be as far away from her as possible.
"Xiang Yi~" Qiao Wanmian looked at him with some hurt.
"Stop! Stay away from me. I'm a married man, and I strictly adhere to traditional male virtues, so please be considerate and don't get too close." Li Xiangyi's words left everyone speechless. Adhering to... male virtues? And Li Xiangyi not only didn't die, but he was married? Thinking of this, everyone looked at Qiao Wanmian.
Qiao Wanmian's face was filled with disbelief, her eyes brimming with hurt and grievance. Li Lianhua, upon hearing this, just wanted to cover her face.
Di Feisheng raised an eyebrow, watching with great interest. He had a hunch and vaguely knew something. So now he just wanted to watch the show.
"Li Xiangyi, how could you treat A-Mian like this? She's been looking for you for ten years!" Xiao Zijin angrily accused Li Xiangyi.
With a wave of his hand, Li Xiangyi sent Xiao Zijin flying. Xiao Zijin landed on the ground, looking disheveled. He scrambled to his feet, his eyes blazing with anger. Li Xiangyi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Who do you think you are, daring to criticize me?"
At this moment, Qiao Wanmian rushed over to support Xiao Zijin, looking at Li Xiangyi with teary eyes: "Xiangyi, why are you so heartless?"
Li Xiangyi said coldly, "That's what he brought on himself. And he said you searched for me for ten years? Ha! I stayed in the East Sea for three years, but I didn't see you." He had heard Qing'er talk about his fate before he traveled back in time in his world. If Qing'er hadn't appeared, he would have followed his previous fate. So this world must be the same.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanmian's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
Then Li Xiangyi continued, "Also, we broke up ten years ago. For the past ten years, you and Xiao Zijin have been inseparable. Ten years have passed, and you still haven't clarified our relationship. Let that bastard Xiao Zijin bark at me every time she sees me. What? You want to eat what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot?"
Everyone who heard this gasped; the words were far too blunt. However, they hadn't expected that Master Li and Heroine Qiao had broken up ten years ago.
At this moment, someone whispered, "Since they broke up so early, why has Qiao Wanmian been traveling the martial arts world all these years claiming to be the widow of Sect Leader Li?"
Some people sarcastically remarked, "What else could it be for? For convenience, of course."
Qiao Wanmian's face flushed red, filled with shame and anger, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. Xiao Zijin was trembling with rage, yet dared not approach her again.
Li Lianhua watched this scene with mixed feelings. Li Xiangyi's words, though sharp, also revealed some of the truth.
