Chapter 197 Reason
When Baili Dongjun woke up, it was already afternoon of the next day.

He caused a big misunderstanding in Lei Mansion, mistaking Li Hanyi for Li Changsheng's daughter.

Then, he learned something from Lei Mengsha.

That is the case in Tianqi City today, with Ye Dingzhi’s wanted posters posted all over the city.

Baili Dongjun asked anxiously: "How did his identity get exposed?"

Lei Mengsha was shocked and asked, "Do you know he is Ye Yun?"

Ye Yun, the fourth son of General Ye Yu, is probably second only to Prince Chu Zhao of Western Chu in the Emperor Tai'an's determination to kill him.

After all, everyone knows that General Ye Yu is a thorn in the emperor's heart and a thorn in Apocalypse City. No one has dared to mention the name Ye Yu for many years.

Baili Dongjun nodded: "Chu Zhao told me. By the way, where is Chu Zhao? How is he?"

"He is really awesome. After you fell unconscious yesterday, he had a big fight with an old ancestor of the Xiao family. In the end, he used the Lightning Induction Technique to blast him to ashes. It is said that the old ancestor of the Xiao family is a master of the Half-Step Divine Wandering. He actually killed you without hesitation. He is really awesome."

"Of course the handsome uncle is awesome." Xiao Hanyi said proudly with her little head raised.

"Yes, yes, your handsome uncle is the best. I can't compare to him. OK?"

Lei Mengsha looked extremely speechless, which made Li Xinyue couldn't help but smile. She took her daughter's hand and said cheerfully, "Hanyi, let's go back to the house and let your father talk to this uncle about their affairs. Let's go."

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Baili Dongjun asked, "Chu Zhao... is he okay?"

Lei Mengsha hummed: "His injury is not serious. He recovered yesterday and is now in the school."

"Let's go to the academy. He should be able to save Ye Dingzhi."

Just as the two were about to go out, a voice rang out.

"No need to go find Master Chu."

Before he finished speaking, a young Taoist priest carrying a peach wood sword walked in as if no one was around.

Seeing that the visitor was Wang and his group who had traveled with Ye Dingzhi the night before, Baili Dongjun hurriedly asked, "Brother Wang, where is Ye Dingzhi now? Is he okay?"

Wang Yixing smiled and said, "He is now recovering in the safest place in Tianqi City, with a beautiful woman by his side, and they are very affectionate. He is doing very well, so you don't have to look for him. By the way, he also asked me to tell you to learn from Mr. Li, and he is waiting for the day when you become famous."

"That's it?"

Baili Dongjun was stunned: "That's all he said?"

Wang Yixing nodded: "Yes, that's all I have to say."

Lei Mengsha took over the conversation and asked, "Brother Wang, does anyone else know that the girl saved you besides you?"

"Besides us, the only person who knows is the mysterious person who chased us that day."

"Well, don't tell anyone except you. After all, the affairs of the court are complicated. Since that girl said that saving you was her personal behavior, King Jingyu should not know about it." Lei Mengsha breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. Oh, by the way, the people who were chasing us that day said that Ye Dingzhi was also born with a martial vein, and they were planning to take him somewhere." Wang Yihang paused, "It seems that Princess Jingyu's place is indeed the safest place for him."

"What exactly is a natural martial vein?" Baili Dongjun asked thoughtfully.

Lei Mengsha smiled and said, "Master should know the answer to this question."

Jixia Academy.

Wang and his group did not leave the school as they did in the original plot, but followed Baili Dongjun and Lei Meng into the school.

After all, he also heard that Chu Zhao was injured yesterday, and planned to find out about Chu Zhao's condition indirectly.

Coincidentally, when the three of them came in, they met Xiao Ruofeng, Luo Xuan and others who were discussing Ye Ding's matter.

So, Baili Dongjun and the other two joined in.

Baili Dongjun repeated the previous question and asked Xiao Ruofeng and others.

"Do you know how Ye Dingzhi's identity was exposed?"

Xiao Ruofeng frowned and replied, "Ye Dingzhi is Ye Yun. Bai Xiaotang told me the news, but Bai Xiaotang only guessed it based on the name, whereabouts and other clues. It is not a real proof. Moreover, the news from Bai Xiaotang was not passed to me until recently, and I didn't even have time to tell you. I don't know how they knew it."

Luo Xuan frowned slightly: "Anyone can ask Bai Xiao Tang to buy information, as long as the price is right, King Qing can afford it."

"No, Bai Xiaotang chooses the right people to tell some news, and even if they are rich and powerful, they can't change their choice." Xiao Ruofeng shook his head and finally murmured, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

"Could it be the Shadow Building?" Mo Xiaohei on the side suddenly asked.

"Impossible." Baili Dong said firmly.

"why?"

Baili Dongjun replied: "Because Shadow Tower is Chu Zhao's property, and Chu Zhao cannot expose Ye Dingzhi. They are brothers."

"How did you know?"

Looking at Wang Yihang's appearance, Baili Dongjun was stunned for a moment: "It seems that Senior Brother Wang also knows that they are brothers?"

"I know a little." Wang Yixing nodded and said thoughtfully, "That day when we were being chased, Brother Ye shouted before he fainted. He was Master Chu's junior brother. Later, the mysterious man left."

"It seems that the mysterious man who is chasing you is also related to Chu Zhao. But if he is related to Chu Zhao, why does he want to capture Ye Dingzhi?" Baili Dongjun was puzzled, and then looked around at everyone and said, "By the way, where is Chu Zhao?"

"He is in seclusion. Master said that he is at the critical moment of breakthrough and no one can disturb him."

Baili Dongjun nodded and fell silent.

"No matter what the relationship between Chu Zhao and the mysterious man is, the most important thing right now is Ye Dingzhi. No matter what, the academy will definitely not be able to recruit him. King Qing must be very scared at this moment. The person he has raised for so long actually has a grudge against him for killing his father. He will definitely search the whole city for him and kill him as soon as possible. He may even take advantage of the situation to hold our academy accountable. What should we do now?" Liu Yue suddenly spoke, glancing at Xiao Ruofeng while speaking.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Ruofeng suddenly stood up and said resolutely: "We must find Ye Dingzhi before King Qing."

"What happens after we find Ye Dingzhi?"

Xiao Ruofeng sighed: "Do you believe that General Ye Yu rebelled back then?"

Baili Dongjun immediately said: "General Ye could not have rebelled. Chu Zhao has said that General Ye was framed."

"If that's the case, then General Ye Yu has been framed without a doubt." Lei Mengsha glanced at Xiao Ruofeng and sighed, "Although I haven't had much contact with Chu Zhao, based on my understanding of him, if he dares to say that, then he must have solid evidence in his hands."

Liu Yue nodded in agreement: "I certainly don't believe that General Ye Yu would rebel."

Luo Xuan followed closely: "I only know that Master said that General Ye Yu is a loyal man."

As for Mo Xiaohei and Wang Yixing who were present, they did not say anything but shook their heads. It was obvious that they did not believe that Ye Yu would rebel.

"In that case, then help him escape from Tianqi City." Xiao Ruofeng walked out the door.

Then, he ran into Li Changsheng head-on.

Several people present hurriedly bowed and called out "Master" or "Mr.", only Wang Yihang bowed his head and said, "Wang Yihang from Wangcheng Mountain greets Mr. Li."

Li Changsheng nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that you were here, so I came to see you. Is your master okay?"

"Mr. Lao Li is concerned about me. Master is doing well."

"That's good, he's fine."

Wang Yihang understood and bowed: "In this case, I should go back to Wangcheng Mountain. I hope Mr. Li will take care of it."

"He doesn't need my worry." Li Changsheng shook his head and asked with a smile: "Why don't you stay a few more days to experience the customs and habits of Tianqi City?"

"No, I won't stay. If I stay, I will definitely get beaten."

"Beating?"

Wang Yixing nodded, didn't explain anything, and ran away.

"Master, who are you talking about?" Lei Mengsha asked curiously.

Li Changsheng did not answer, but smiled at everyone and said, "Don't worry about Ye Dingzhi's affairs. He is safe now. Get ready and let them perform the apprenticeship ceremony."

"Shouldn't there be three people?" Liu Yue said as if she was talking to herself. The so-called three people were naturally Chu Zhao, Baili Dongjun and Yue Qing.

Li Changsheng shook his head: "Xiao Ba is my own disciple, he doesn't count as a student in the academy."

"After all, it's because Chu Zhao is unwilling to worship..."

Li Changsheng glanced over and Lei Mengsha's words were stuck in his throat.

More than half an hour later.

Baili Dongjun put on a spotless white cloak and stepped into the inner courtyard of the school.

With him was Yue Qing, who went by the alias Ye Qing. Compared to Baili Dongjun's gloomy look, Yue Qing was obviously much more excited.

"Don't think about Ye Dingzhi for now. We will find a way to find him after today." Yue Qing said in a low voice.

That's all.

Baili Dongjun sighed silently, nodded and forced a smile, "Okay."

The apprenticeship went smoothly. Just like in the plot, after Baili Dongjun had completed the apprenticeship and said hello, he was thrown onto the roof by Lei Mengsha.

Li Changsheng sat on the roof, holding a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "I can't afford such a gift. This is to become a disciple, not to marry in the palace."

Baili Dongjun got up and saluted perfunctorily, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

Li Changsheng didn't mind, he drank a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Dong Jiu, from today on, you are my youngest disciple."

"Dongjiu?" Baili Dongjun pointed at himself and asked blankly, "This Dongjiu... isn't it me?"

Li Changsheng said as a matter of course: "Lei Er, Jian San, Liu Si, Hei Wu, Xuan Liu, Feng Qi, Xiao Ba, you are Dong Jiu, right? After you become my disciple, you will be my youngest disciple."

Baili Dongjun was speechless: "This name is too ugly, it's better to call her Xiaojiu."

"Aren't you older than Little Eight? It's not appropriate to call you Little Nine."

"Master, you are so boring." Baili Dongjun became more speechless.

"Yes, because I have lived too long, many things have become boring, so I have to find some fun for myself." Li Changsheng sighed.

"How long have you lived, then?"

"More than 180 years."

A figure suddenly appeared on the roof and gave the answer.

Li Changsheng turned his head to look at Chu Zhao who flashed over, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ba, it seems that you know a lot, have you made a breakthrough?"

Chu Zhao shook his head: "I came here to see you because I have some questions I want to ask you."

Li Changsheng raised his head and took a sip of wine, then said with a smile: "Let's go."

Seeing the two preparing to leave, Baili Dongjun hurriedly shouted, "Wait a moment."

"Anything else?"

"Master, my other master once told me that I was born with a martial vein. Just now, Senior Brother Wang told me that Ye Dingzhi was also born with a martial vein. What exactly is a natural martial vein?"

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and replied, "Being born with a martial vein is both a blessing and an unfortunate thing. Okay, that's all for today's Q&A session. We're leaving now."

In the backyard of the school, there is a small courtyard deep inside.

It is winter now, but the courtyard is as warm as spring. The flowers, plants and trees are lush and green, and there are even lotus flowers blooming in the pond.

The elegant courtyard seems to have only spring and summer, no autumn or winter.

In the pavilion beside the pond, Chu Zhao had asked all the questions about cultivation and got the answers from Li Changsheng.

However, he did not rush to retreat, but asked, "Why?"

This nonsensical question made Li Changsheng stunned, but he soon understood Chu Zhao's question.

This is to ask him why he should be protected.

Li Changsheng thought for a moment, organized his words, and said, "Because the two... can be considered friends. One of them is a monk. He told me about you in his early years. Do you want to know his evaluation of you?"

There are not many people who are qualified to be friends with Li Changsheng, and he is a monk who has had interactions with him before. Chu Zhao knows who he is without thinking.

"I wonder what Master Wangyou thinks of it."

"clever."

Li Changsheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and said with a smile: "He said that you have a strong murderous nature, but you are very upright, have a kind heart, and are a blessing to all people. You are destined to be my disciple, Li Changsheng."

What do you mean you are destined to be my, Li Changsheng's disciple? The old monk Wangyou would never say such a thing.

Chu Zhao rolled his eyes: "Just because of a sixteen-word review?"

"Isn't it enough?"

Without waiting for Chu Zhao to reply, Li Changsheng said to himself: "It's enough. I have lived for many years and have seen too many joys and sorrows in the world. Perhaps because I have seen too much, I have gradually become indifferent. Although I don't care much about the affairs of the people, I also know that Beili can't continue like this... Your appearance can prompt the court to make changes, which is a good thing for the people of the world, so you can't die now."

Chu Zhao smiled faintly: "If you can't die now, you can die later, right?"

"You have a murderous nature. If we let you go, it will not be good for the people of the world." Li Changsheng sighed, and then smiled and said: "But don't worry, you will not die, because you are my disciple!"

They say it is for the people of the world, but in fact it is to maintain Beili’s rule.

Chu Zhao sneered and asked, "Who is the other person?"

"Wangcheng Mountain, Lu Suzhen."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "He wrote to me before, asking me to protect your safety in Tianqi City."

Chu Zhao understood, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Come to think of it, you said before that you have already worshipped a master, so I guess you worshipped under Lu Suzhen."

Chu Zhao paused, shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Lu is accepting a disciple on behalf of the master."

"I see."

"Li Changsheng, I will not take you as my master, and I will not follow the path you have arranged for me. No one in the world can force me to do something I don't want to do."

"Even Mr. Li, the best in the world, can't do it?"

"Don't even mention you, Li Changsheng. Even Su Suomo can't do it. What do you think?"

Hearing the name Su Sumo, Li Changsheng couldn't help but frown.

This name is familiar, but I can't remember who it is.

After looking down and recalling for a long time, Li Changsheng's expression suddenly changed.

He finally remembered.

Su Suomo, the Lord of Kunlun Mountain!
Two hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Su family suppressed the four poles.

This ancestor of the Su family has nothing to do with him, but has a great relationship with his master Su Baiyi, and is his master's ancestor.

"you……"

Li Changsheng raised his head, but Chu Zhao was no longer in the pavilion.

Not even a trace was left, as if he had never been here.

Li Changsheng stared blankly at the empty seat in front of him, muttering to himself: "How can you know so many secrets at such a young age? Could it be that... there are really people in the world who can reincarnate with memories of their past lives?

If so, who would you be?"
