Then she discovered that this place was quite strange; it seemed to have a lot of rare herbs and a lot of poisons.
Especially that big mountain behind it, it seems like there's something wrong with it.
That evening, the two returned to the courtyard at almost the same time.
“Recently, several people have gone missing, and they are mostly outsiders, including several servants of wealthy outsiders.”
Upon hearing Li Xiangyi's inquiry, Tang Yu immediately mentioned the back mountain of Yucheng.
"There's a secret in that back mountain. To prevent people from getting close, poison gas has been released around it."
This suddenly reminded Li Xiangyi of some past events, and he grasped Tang Yu's hand.
"I have a theory. Shall we go out together tomorrow to investigate?"
After all, it was already dark, and it was indeed inconvenient to go out to the back mountain now.
Tang Yu keenly sensed that Li Xiangyi's emotions were slightly unusual, and this was definitely not an ordinary missing person and murder case.
What are you doubting? Do you already have someone you suspect in mind?
Li Xiangyi sighed deeply, and then began to explain his speculation.
He suspected that this matter might be related to the Medicine Demon, and then mentioned that the poison he had been poisoned with was the Jade Tea Poison created by the Medicine Demon.
"The poison I was previously poisoned with is called Jade Tea Poison. It was researched by the Medicine Demon. This poison erodes internal energy and gradually causes the loss of the five senses..."
Although he has now recovered his health, Li Xiangyi doesn't want to recall the pain he experienced when the attacks were flare-ups.
That was a time when I had no hope for the future and loathed and hated myself.
He was actually forcing himself to accept this outcome, forcing himself to be someone who didn't care about anything, and forcing himself to become gentle and peaceful.
After all the sharp edges are smoothed out, you're not actually happy.
He was originally an extremely proud and unrestrained person, capable of going to the far north to ski and see the aurora with the person in front of him, and also able to go to the far south to dive and play in the sea.
Now he can travel to the southwest to search for jade, and he may go to many other places in the future. This kind of freedom is the life he loves.
Many people cannot understand this kind of life, especially someone with a name like Li Xiangyi. Many people have too high expectations of him, so he no longer wants to be Li Xiangyi.
A leader of a sect bears the lives of hundreds or thousands of people on his shoulders; such a person is indeed not suited to act recklessly and arrogantly.
Therefore, Li Xiangyi chose to become Li Lianhua.
"So after all these years of poisoning and recovering, you still haven't killed your enemy?"
Tang Yu looked at the person in front of her with great surprise. Was Li Xiangyi such a person who would swallow his anger?
"I couldn't even find where the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance was before, how could I possibly know where the Medicine Demon is?"
"However, the one who poisoned them wasn't the Medicine Demon, but actually someone from the Four Gates..."
Li Xiangyi did not hide anything, but talked about the situation of Sigumen and Yun Biqiu, who poisoned him.
"So you have two more enemies, Jiao Liqiao and Yun Biqiu? Wait, does this have anything to do with Di Feisheng?"
"I suspect that Di Feisheng was unaware of this, but neither Yao Mo nor Jiao Li Qiao have been heard from in recent years."
I've only just recovered; how can I take revenge without finding anyone?
Although Li Xiangyi spoke in a calm tone, Tang Yu still noticed the key point.
"If one harbors immense hatred, one will surely wish to take revenge the moment one recovers."
And since you didn't make that choice, it's clear that revenge has never been an urgent matter for you. You plan to take revenge when the opportunity arises, right?
These words made Li Xiangyi laugh, and he couldn't help but step forward and hug the person in front of him.
"I am not a compassionate person who thinks those who poisoned me can be forgiven. I only did so after I recovered my health."
I yearn more and more to experience the beauty of this world, to do interesting things, to taste delicious food, and to drink fine wine... If I only think about revenge, I will never be able to appreciate the wonderful feeling of recovery.
Ah Yu, when I was young, I thought the beautiful scenery, fine wine, and delicious food around me were just ordinary things. But now I think that this is where the daily pleasure lies.
If I encounter an enemy, I will seek revenge. I will not let them affect my mood. If I am immersed in hatred, I will only suffer myself.
As for the matter of Sigu Gate, I think we should deal with it after the wedding.
This decision made Tang Yu feel somewhat strange.
"What does this have to do with getting married?"
The moment the question was asked, Li Xiangyi's eyes filled with tenderness and a smile. He lowered his head slightly and leaned forward slowly.
Those strong, large hands gently cupped the person's cheeks, and Li Xiangyi gently caressed them with extreme tenderness.
Finally, a soft, butterfly-wing-like kiss slowly approached, and after a tender moment, Li Xiangyi whispered in his ear.
"Because it has a lot to do with you!"
Chapter 18 Lotus Tower 18
"Stop speaking in riddles, just explain it clearly."
Tang Yu took a step back, still looking puzzled.
"Let's make this clear first, you're not allowed to interrupt me before I finish speaking."
This further piqued Tang Yu's curiosity.
Why should I interrupt you?
"I'm afraid you'll think I'm too narcissistic halfway through and won't be able to continue listening."
Tang Yu was amused by these words, and her eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, making her look as charming as a new moon.
"I think you're narcissistic right now."
Li Xiangyi smiled and stepped forward, gently embracing the person in front of him, then resting his head against the side of her neck and whispering softly.
"Some people in Baichuan Academy, and some people in this world, always feel that Li Xiangyi's appearance will take away their rights, and they believe that he can do it."
Then, some people believe that Li Xiangyi should rebuild the Sigu Sect, uphold justice in the martial arts world, and eliminate evil. They also believe that Li Xiangyi is capable of doing so.
Among these people, some were afraid of him, while others admired and respected him. Those who were afraid could verbally abuse him and drive him away.
But those who admire and respect Li Xiangyi actually hope that he will become a god in their hearts. They feel that Li Xiangyi should continue to rule the martial arts world, with superb martial arts skills, and eliminate evil and protect the righteous!
But actually, all I want now is to live a carefree life.
If my identity were revealed now, too many people would come to me, feeling that all matters of the martial world are my responsibility, that I would govern the martial world better, and that they would decide for me what kind of life I should live.
Tang Yu vaguely understood what Li Xiangyi meant, knowing that he was actually a little annoyed by the trouble.
After his identity is exposed, countless people may come to bother him.
Those who maliciously provoke others are easy to deal with; just slap them out the door.
But those who admired and respected him came to ask him to restore order in the martial arts world, and it was like an inescapable entanglement.
"But what does this have to do with getting married?"
Li Xiangyi smiled and gently kissed the eyes of the person in front of him.
"Ayu, getting married is a big deal. When that happens, we will be husband and wife in the right."
Therefore, I have the right to participate in the affairs of your life, and you also have the right to interfere in the affairs of my life.
I will be the husband of the owner of Peach Blossom Manor, and I will be Li Lianhua of Lotus Pavilion. I can be Li Xiangyi or Li Lianhua in front of you.
But it will not involve any of the old acquaintances of Sigumen. Those from Baichuan Academy aren't even qualified to attend my wedding. The world will naturally understand the meaning behind my actions.”
These words made Tang Yu burst out laughing. So it turns out he was trying to find a backer after all this time.
"Do you want the world to know that you are from Peach Blossom Pavilion?"
"Yes, we are not married yet. After my identity is exposed, they may think I am lying and making excuses."
I even feel like you're controlling me, and then using various excuses to make me leave you?
So those people from Sigumen in the past, they didn't understand me, and I didn't understand them either.
But one thing I do understand is that they will weigh the pros and cons and know that I am refusing to return.
If anyone still lacks tact, I'll just let them know that since Li Xiangyi became Tang Yu's husband, his martial arts have become even more formidable, and no one can force him to do anything.
After saying this, Tang Yu was also somewhat flattered by the person's praise.
"You're not being narcissistic, you're being narcissistic on my behalf."
“Ayu is already very capable. I just want the world to understand that I have been living a new life for a long time.”
This is because he wants to sever ties with Hyakusawain and doesn't want people and events from the past to entangle him.
Tang Yu had no idea what kind of life Li Xiangyi had lived in the fishing village during his first few years.
However, being betrayed by his disciples, filled with self-blame and pain, and suffering greatly from poisoning, those days were certainly not pleasant.
The people of Baichuan Academy dared not reveal the poisoning by Yun Biqiu, because they knew that Baichuan Academy was established on Li Xiangyi's reputation. If this matter were made public, no one in the world would dare to believe in the impartiality of Baichuan Academy anymore.
These people are all afraid of losing the power they hold.
Li Xiangyi had already seen through them.
As for those who worship and believe in him, how many of them truly understand him?
Although Li Xiangyi probably hadn't heard of the term "moral kidnapping," he likely felt that way now and didn't want to be coerced into doing things by this group of people.
"Alright, poor lotus, from now on, peach blossoms will protect you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi burst into laughter.
"It seems I'll definitely succeed in proposing to you later."
This time, Tang Yu did not deny it, but instead leaned forward and kissed Li Xiangyi's eyes.
"They all want to control your life, but I want to set you free."
Li Xiangyi, I'm not pitying you, I'm just heartbroken for you. You deserve a more carefree and joyful life.
Who wants to be the leader of the martial arts world for their entire life, right? What's wrong with wanting to retire early?
What's more, there's a bunch of ungrateful wretches among them.
