The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

"hiss!"

"That's really strange, how did that monk do that?"

"Something's fishy, ​​everyone be careful!"

The group of gatekeepers looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Just then, a muffled voice rang out: "Where did this crazy monk come from? Get out of the way! Don't block the way!"

Li Xiuyuan turned his head curiously and saw a middle-aged man who was two meters tall, with unusually short hair, muscles all over his body, and wearing armor.

He exuded a fierce aura, had a deep voice, and carried a heavy sword that was a foot wide and 1.5 meters long.

This burly man was none other than Ye Songtao, Song Yanhui's junior brother.

One of the main purposes of coming to the city lord's territory of Wushuang City this time is, of course,... the position of city lord.

Ye Songtao was initially quite happy, but he was naturally very unhappy to suddenly encounter a crazy, smelly monk blocking the doorway.

"Wow!"

Li Xiuyuan let out an exaggerated scream, seemingly startled.

He suddenly took several steps back, as if remembering something, and shouted, "You are...you are...that...what was it again! Oh dear, monk, I can't remember! What's your name again?"

"Crazy monk, do you deserve a beating?!"

Ye Songtao was furious. He had thought that his reputation had intimidated the other party, but upon closer inspection... it was clear that the monk was just playing a trick on him!

He immediately reached out to grab Li Xiuyuan, intending to teach him a lesson.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Xiuyuan was incredibly slippery, constantly twisting her body with unbelievable agility, as if she had no bones.

After several rounds, Ye Songtao was taken aback and looked at Li Xiuyuan with a serious expression, saying, "Monk, who exactly are you?"

"Esteemed benefactor, who am I, a monk, and what is my relationship with you?" Li Xiuyuan picked a louse off his body out of boredom and said with his head down, "Lice, oh lice, you're lucky to have met a monk like me who doesn't kill. If you met anyone else, I'd probably just crush you to death!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and threw the louse onto Ye Songtao.

Ye Songtao was immediately enraged and shouted, "Crazy monk, I don't care who you are, get out of my way!"

"Ah! Monk, I didn't block your way! The road is so wide, you can walk however you want!" Li Xiuyuan jumped up, pointed at Ye Songtao with his fan, and said loudly, "However, I foresaw it, you're going to have a major disaster today! I'm afraid your position as city lord... is in jeopardy!"

Ye Songtao's gaze sharpened; this mad monk... indeed had some purpose.

Knowing that he came here to inherit the position of city lord, and considering his skills... he's no ordinary person!

Thinking of this, Ye Songtao's hostility intensified, but his tone lost its contempt as he said gruffly, "Mad monk, what do you mean? I have the support of five elders, how can I not take the position of city lord?"

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, they cannot be revealed!"

The other disciples were all surprised.

Chapter 100 Ye Songtao: I'm determined to become the city lord of Wushuang City!

(Brothers! This book has reached 300,000 words, and this is the 100th page. Are there any readers still following along?)

(Say hi! Let the author see which of my good buddies are here, okay?)

They didn't know Li Xiuyuan, but they knew Ye Songtao.

Since Ye Songtao came here for the position of city lord, doesn't that mean... the city lord of Wushuang City is going to be replaced?

This is a big deal!

So, this mad monk... could actually be a friend of City Lord Song Yan Hui?

The group of disciples exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of unease.

I offended that crazy monk quite a bit just now, will I be punished for it?

Ye Songtao didn't care about any of that. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said loudly, "Crazy monk, you think I can't be the city lord just because you say so?"

“Of course, I, the monk, never make a mistake!” Li Xiuyuan shook his fan, scratched an itch, and continued, “If Ms. Ye doesn’t believe me, just come inside!”

"Hmph!" Ye Songtao snorted coldly. Having traveled the martial world for many years, he naturally wouldn't show any fear because of a mad monk's words. He said calmly, "Monk, what will you do if I become the city lord?"

"Of course not!" Li Xiuyuan shook his head, glanced at Ye Songtao with a look that said, "Are you out of your mind?", and continued, "What does your becoming the city lord of Wushuang City have to do with me, this monk? I'm here to beg for alms!"

Ye Songtao thought Li Xiuyuan was scared, so he laughed and said, "Crazy monk, you'd better watch closely and see how I get to the position of city lord! Come on, come in with me!"

"What if you can't get a seat?" Li Xiuyuan fanned himself as he followed behind Ye Songtao, showing no sign of fear whatsoever.

Ye Songtao has recovered his composure. Within Wushuang City, the most powerful person is not Song Yan Hui, but the five elders.

This time, the five elders are on our side!

The city lord of Wushuang City is determined to take the seat!

Therefore, Ye Songtao, carrying his broadsword, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "So, what do you want to bet?"

Li Xiuyuan blinked and said, "How about this, if you can't become the city lord of Wushuang City, how about you fill my wine gourd?"

"Hmph, is that all you ask for? I agree!" Ye Songtao glanced at Li Xiuyuan's wine gourd with some disdain.

This broken gourd can only hold two or three catties of wine at most, and even if it's the best wine in the world, I can afford it.

Not to mention that the mad monk hasn't even mentioned any wine yet!

Li Xiuyuan's eyes lit up. He patted his wine gourd and muttered to himself, "Don't worry, don't worry, there will be wine to drink soon!"

Ye Songtao snorted coldly. This crazy monk really thinks he's doomed to lose!

Li Xiuyuan wasn't in a hurry. According to the original plot, it seemed that Song Yan would abdicate, and Wushuang would sit on the ground and beat Ye Songtao, and also beat up the Five Elders.

He directly assumed the position of Lord of Wushuang City.

But this time, things might be different.

He recently resolved Song Yan Hui's inner conflict; it remains to be seen whether Song Yan Hui's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan shook his head.

What do these things have to do with him? He just came here to have some drinks!

Following Ye Songtao, Li Xiuyuan did not see Song Yanhui. Instead, five masked elders appeared first.

All five had long white hair, exuded a powerful aura, and possessed unfathomable cultivation levels—well...compared to ordinary martial artists.

Upon seeing that Ye Songtao had brought back a mad monk, the white-haired elder was greatly surprised and asked in astonishment, "Who is this mad monk? Why did you bring him here?"

It's no wonder the Grand Elder was surprised; Li Xiuyuan's appearance was rather unappealing.

He was unkempt, his clothes were tattered with several holes, and he smelled sour.

The five elders took two steps back, afraid that the lice on Li Xiuyuan's body would crawl onto them.

"That mad monk! I don't know how he found out I'm the next city lord of Wushuang City!" Ye Songtao raised his chin and said to the five elders, "This mad monk insisted that I couldn't become the city lord, so I brought him here to let him see with his own eyes how I became the city lord of Wushuang City!"

"Interesting, very interesting!" An elder looked at Li Xiuyuan with some surprise in his eyes and said, "Mad Monk, you may not know who the five of us are, but if the five of us nod, Ye Songtao's position as the city lord of Wushuang City is set! No one else can change this fact!"

Another elder seemed to remember something, looked at Li Xiuyuan, and said, "I've heard that Yan Hui had a great awakening after meeting a mad monk. It was this very monk! I never expected him to come to my Wushuang City!"

"Hehehe!" Li Xiuyuan twisted his body, scratching his itch, and said, "Who knows about such things? I, the monk, will calculate it with my fingers, but whether it's accurate or not... well, that's hard to say!"

"Hmph!" The First Elder waved his sleeve, looked at Li Xiuyuan, and said, "Since that's the case, then you just watch closely!"

Li Xiuyuan shook his wine gourd, which was empty, and said with some regret, "This monk's wine gourd is empty. I really want to fill it up quickly!"

"hehe!"

A flash of anger crossed Ye Songtao's eyes. Did this mad monk really think he had calculated everything correctly?

A moment later, Li Xiuyuan followed the five elders to the second floor of a main hall.

When Song Yan saw Daoji arrive, she was extremely surprised and immediately stood up, asking respectfully, "Master Daoji, what brings you here?"

"I'm out of wine, so I came here to beg for alms, but I was stopped outside..." Li Xiuyuan rambled on for a while, and finally said, "That's about it!"

Upon hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Song Yanhui frowned, looked at the Five Elders, and said angrily, "Elder, you want Ye Songtao to be the city lord of Wushuang City? No way, I absolutely disagree!"

"Yan Hui, you wouldn't be unwilling to abdicate, would you?" The First Elder stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Songtao, and said calmly, "This is a unanimous decision made by the five elders!"

"Hahaha!" Song Yan laughed, then sat back down in her seat as city lord. She looked at the five elders and said, "Elder, I've done a good job as city lord and haven't done anything wrong. It's not right for me to step down and be replaced! You have to give me a reason!"

"The reason is that you are too weak!" Ye Songtao, carrying a heavy sword, kicked open the door of the main hall and strode in, shouting, "In your hands, Wushuang City can only decline step by step, but in my hands, it will continue to expand its territory, surpass Xueyue City, and become the number one city in the world!"

Seeing Ye Songtao's arrogance, Song Yan Hui was also furious.

Song Yan slammed her hand on the stool, stood up abruptly, and said calmly, "Ye Songtao, you're not qualified! I've long since given up on this position of city lord, but it's not your place to take it!"

“Song Yan Hui, if I don’t take the position of city lord in this Peerless City, who will?” Ye Songtao said, carrying his heavy sword, completely unconcerned.

.....

Chapter 101 Do you understand the value of "calculating with your fingers"?

"Interesting, very interesting!" Li Xiuyuan exclaimed excitedly, fanning himself with his fan. "As for me, this monk, I love watching plays the most!"

The Grand Elder looked at Li Xiuyuan, sneered, and said, "Crazy monk, you really love making a scene! Don't worry, there won't be any changes to the position of city lord!"

"I, the monk, have calculated everything perfectly!" Li Xiuyuan said nonchalantly, scratching his itch. "Just wait and see!"

Inside the main hall, Song Yan looked at Ye Songtao and said angrily, "It's not your place to sit, whoever is in charge. Let me see if you've made any progress!"

Having said that, he drew his longsword, its cold light gleaming.

"Oh, you've changed swords?" Ye Songtao remained calm, carrying his longsword, and said indifferently, "Very well, let me see whether my sword is faster or yours is stronger!"

Having said that, he strode forward with great strides, landing heavily on the ground, and wielding his heavy sword, he slashed upwards.

"Humph!"

Undeterred, Song Yan went straight to meet Ye Songtao in battle.

A flurry of swordplay erupted instantly throughout the entire hall.

Ye Songtao and Song Yanhui had a personal grudge against each other, so he naturally went to great lengths.

In just a few seconds, the ground was a complete mess, and the entire hall was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan picked up his fan and waved it, instantly stabilizing the previously shaky hall.

The elder looked at Li Xiuyuan with some horror, his heart filled with shock... What kind of methods did this monk have?
