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

Even though it was only a short day together, he had already come to regard Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Se as his good friends!

And now, his good friend has "died" right in front of him.

There was no need to actively activate it, okay? Anger surged in his heart, his true energy boiled, and he directly activated the Fire Scorching Technique!

boom!!

The red true energy emanating from his body grew increasingly thick, surging outwards like a tidal wave.

Despite it being an extremely cold snowy night, standing beside him, Xiao Se and Tang Lian felt as if they were under the blazing sun.

"Lei Wujie! Calm down! Control your inner energy, don't go into qi deviation!"

As Lei Wujie's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and his boiling true energy gradually became disordered, people watched as the whites of his eyes began to turn red.

Xiao Se quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lei Wujie's shoulder, shaking him vigorously until he mentioned that Li Xiuyuan wasn't so easily injured. Only then did Lei Wujie slowly regain his senses. Fortunately, he heard a series of not-so-weak coughs coming from the spot where Li Xiuyuan had been hit by the sword energy. Lei Wujie finally regained his senses. After restraining his fiery true energy, even though he felt a throbbing pain in his chest—a side effect of overloading the Fire Scorching Technique—he didn't care. Instead, he leaped to Li Xiuyuan's side and quickly asked about his condition.

"Daoji, are you alright?"

"Great! I saw you didn't dodge in time again, and you looked like you hadn't reacted yet. I thought..."

"But I'm glad you're alright now."

Li Xiuyuan heard Lei Wujie's worried voice and immediately felt a sense of relief!

This husky is so loyal; it really is a good friend!

He really did not let us down after taking care of us all day!

Well, it's just that Lei Wujie didn't know what Li Xiuyuan was thinking at that moment, otherwise he would definitely be furious.

Taking care of him? Is your idea of ​​taking care of him just kicking his butt every now and then, drinking in front of him, and deliberately looking like you're enjoying yourself?

"Cough cough cough, ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

"Phew! That was close! I almost met Buddha here ahead of schedule!"

Li Xiuyuan pretended to talk to himself, then looked at Lei Wujie before coughing and changing the subject.

"Ahem, just kidding, just kidding. Lei Wujie, don't worry, didn't I tell you I'm very strong?"

"Thank you for your concern, but for now, you'll just stand here and wait for me for a while. I'm going to get some justice first!"

Li Xiuyuan pulled out that tattered fan from somewhere again, which remained intact despite the attack.

With the fan in hand, Li Xiuyuan had something on his mind. He gently patted Lei Wujie's head with it, and without waiting for the other party's reply, he stepped over the stone wall ruins in front of him and walked straight towards Yue Ji and Ming Hou.

On the other hand, Lei Wujie himself probably didn't even realize that, in the short time he was patting his fan, an extremely pure Buddhist magical power had entered his body.

All the hidden injuries he had sustained while practicing martial arts, and the aftereffects of overworking the Fire Scorching Technique, were all quietly and silently resolved when the magic power entered his body.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, such a sudden improvement in the internal environment would make even a casual passerby, let alone a martial artist like Lei Wujie, feel relaxed. But right now, because Lei Wujie was too worried about Li Xiuyuan, who said he was going to seek justice from Yueji and Minghou, he didn't notice the positive changes in his body for the time being.

"Hey Daoji, don't be impulsive!"

Lei Wujie wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Xiao Se, who walked over from the side.

"Alright, it's just that you're so dense that you haven't noticed the problem with this crazy monk yet!"

"This guy... might be stronger than all of us here!"

Immediately after Xiao Se finished speaking, even Tang Lian expressed her agreement with this statement.

"That's right, Master Daoji's strength is indeed extraordinary."

"I feel ashamed to talk about my encounter with him."

"I initially thought he was trying to steal the items I was escorting. So I attacked him."

"However, in the end, I tried everything but couldn't touch Master Daoji at all, and he came to my side very easily."

"This level of strength is definitely not something an ordinary person can possess, right?"

After hearing what his senior brother and Xiao Se said, Lei Wujie felt like the CPU in his head was about to burn out.

Daoji... was he really that amazing?

"So Daoji was serious when he said he was strong, huh? Wow... he's such a convincing liar!"

"You know what? When I asked him just now, I heard him say that he was going to see Buddha sooner than planned!"

"This guy...he's been hiding his true abilities!"

Lei Wujie became more and more excited as he spoke, his mouth stretching almost to his ears, as if his own strength had been acknowledged.

"No, aren't you upset that he made you worry for nothing? After all, you never knew he was so powerful."

"You almost went mad because of this!"

Xiao Se asked, not quite understanding, but Lei Wujie's expression didn't change at all after hearing the question, as if it were a matter of course, and he quickly replied.

"What's there to worry about? Aren't we all friends?"

"It's perfectly normal to worry about your friends!"

"As for going into qi deviation... hmm, why do I feel like I'm perfectly fine? Even the aftereffects of the fire-burning technique are gone?"

What's going on here?

As Lei Wujie spoke, he also sensed something was amiss. He carefully examined his body, touching this and that.

It was getting weirder and weirder, so I couldn't help but ask a question.

"Heh, what a blockhead."

Xiao Se clearly didn't listen to Lei Wujie's subsequent words and questions about his body.

He didn't want to laugh, but after hearing Lei Wujie's theory about friendship, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly before continuing.

"But then again, it wasn't just you; even I was worried about that mad monk for a moment just now."

"After all, although I knew this mad monk was not simple, I did not know his specific strength."

"Do you know why I stopped you from stopping him? It's because I also wanted to take this opportunity."

"Taking advantage of this guy's aggressive demand for an explanation, I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"

…………

Chapter 15 Wow! Female benefactor! This monk isn't buying your act!

"Yes, it may be a bit abrupt, but if it's not in front of Master Daoji and we're just discussing it with you, then it should be fine."

"Actually, I'm also very curious about what kind of methods Master Daoji has."

Following Xiao Se's words, Tang Lian also joined the conversation.

Seemingly worried that Lei Wujie and the others might not understand, he then briefly explained why he, too, was completely unaware of Li Xiuyuan's methods.

"Although I did fight him back then, it was more like I was the only one attacking him."

"Master Daoji only showed off his elusive lightness skill once at most from beginning to end."

"I've never seen him fight in person before. This time... I wonder if I'll finally get to witness his true martial arts skills?"

Upon hearing what Tang Lian said, Xiao Se nodded in agreement.

Only Lei Wujie, whose thought process differed from the others, questioned this curiosity-satisfying plan.

"So... does Daoji only have one skill he can use: lightness skill?"

"After all, we were two different groups, but all we discovered was the other's ability to dodge."

"So... Daoji probably doesn't actually know any offensive martial arts, right?"

When Lei Wujie said this, Xiao Se and Tang Lian were both stunned. They had to admit that although the possibility of Lei Wujie's statement was very small, it was still a possibility.

"I don't think it's that exaggerated."

"While his lightness skill is impressive, didn't he just directly defend against the Underworld Lord's attack? That at least proves that his internal strength is quite formidable!"

"And look, he went to Yueji Minghou to demand justice with such a fierce attitude. He wouldn't do something like this if he didn't have some confidence, right?"

Tang Lian analyzed the situation logically, but after Xiao Se heard his words, he felt for some reason that they had the opposite effect.

After all... if it were that mad monk, it would be strange if he didn't do something outrageous, right?

…………

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you guys, who all seem so unreliable, are actually full of hidden talents?"

"A top disciple of Snow Moon City, and a core member of Thunder Gate who has even mastered the art of fire scorching!"

“Now even you, the seemingly most unremarkable mad monk, possess such a level of internal strength, capable of blocking a sword strike from the Underworld Lord!”

"If you were to tell me now that the last remaining young master is none other than the missing sixth prince of Beili, Xiao Chuhe, I might not be surprised at all!" (23sK.com)

On the other side, Yueji saw Li Xiuyuan walking aggressively towards her, but she was clearly not intimidated at all.

Perhaps it was confidence in his own abilities, or perhaps Li Xiuyuan's disheveled appearance simply didn't convey any fierceness.

She even had the leisure to cover her mouth and chuckle, and the leisure to start teasing Lei Wujie and his group.

That is, Xiao Se and Tang Lian are currently discussing Li Xiuyuan's matter and have not paid attention to this matter.

Otherwise, upon hearing what Tsukihime said, she would probably look at him strangely and think to herself, "So you can calculate things with your fingers now?"

"Hmph! What do you mean by 'hidden dragons and crouching tigers'? Let me ask you, I, the monk, neither accepted the invitation nor spoke loudly."

Why did you slash at me with such force?

"It's one thing for me to have injured a monk..."

"If the flowers, plants, and Buddha statues enshrined in the temple were cut down, wouldn't they have died unjustly?"

Li Xiuyuan's serious question left Yueji speechless.

Even Lei Wujie's side, after suddenly not hearing Yue Ji's voice, thought that Li Xiuyuan had said something harsh, or that Li Xiuyuan had done something that shocked her, so they all focused their attention on her.

"Oh my god, I should have known better than to chat. What a surprise! Why did Tsukihime suddenly stop talking?"

"Pah! Lei Wujie, you have the nerve to say that? You were the one chatting the most just now! As for why Yue Ji isn't saying anything..."

"I'm not quite sure either. There didn't seem to be any internal energy fluctuations just now, did there?"

Seeing this, Lei Wujie and the other two squatted down behind and began to whisper among themselves.
