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

"Tang Lian, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!" Xiao Se checked the time and felt it was about time. He patted Tang Lian on the shoulder and tossed her a brocade pouch.

"What is this...?" Tang Lian asked curiously.

Upon opening the brocade pouch, they discovered it contained the location of a tavern in Snowmoon City!

Xiao Se didn't say it directly, but said to Tang Lian, "Feeling bored? Why don't you go take a look! There might be a surprise there!"

Tang Lian remained silent.

Xiao Se has been corrupted by Dao Ji and has become strange and eccentric.

However, Tang Lian examined the handwriting on the paper carefully. The handwriting was neat and elegant, definitely not Xiao Se's handwriting.

And it looks very familiar, it seems to be...

"No way..." Tang Lian froze, wanting to ask Xiao Se.

But they discovered that Xiao Se had already disappeared!

On the back mountain, Li Xiuyuan ultimately stuck to half of his principles.

He hadn't changed his clothes; he had at least taken a shower!

"Oh dear..." Li Xiuyuan poked himself, and sure enough, not a speck of dust was left!

The tattered cassock was washed clean, and when Li Xiuyuan wore it, it had a shimmering glow!

The lice that were being raised have also disappeared without a trace!

All Li Xiuyuan could do was recite a few Buddhist scriptures to help the deceased!

"Li Xiuyuan, you're not bathing just to raise these lice?" Li Hanyi was somewhat surprised to see Li Xiuyuan reciting Buddhist scriptures. She said, "I didn't realize you had such a compassionate heart! However, raising lice is a bit like aiding and abetting evil!"

“I won’t keep them forever! I’m thick-skinned, these lice will starve to death!” Li Xiuyuan chanted Buddhist scriptures, adding, “I don’t kill, but I’m just a transit point! I usually throw these lice on wicked people, let them suffer! Wicked people need wicked insects to temper them!”

"Pfft!"

Li Hanyi burst out laughing.

This guy is pretty good at having fun!

Li Xiuyuan, however, looked serious and said to Li Hanyi, "This is not funny at all. We need to use fine wine and delicious food to help these poor little lives pass on!"

"You're quite compassionate! So, do you still need me to do it for you?" Li Hanyi smiled, stood up from the ground, grabbed the Iron Horse Ice River sword, and said to Li Xiuyuan, "Come on, I'll take you to Sikong Changfeng's wine storage place! We'll take care of some things while we're at it!"

Li Xiuyuan was taken aback, then shook his tattered fan and said with a grin, "Alright, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Meanwhile, inside the City Lord's Mansion!

Sikong Qianluo stood on the rooftop, with Xiao Se beside her.

The two of them gazed into the distance, momentarily at a loss for words.

People like Mr. Xiao have read a lot of books, but while they can talk about theory, in practice... it's basically useless!

I've completely forgotten the lines I prepared before coming here!

All we can do is freeze in silence!

Finally, Sikong Qianlu broke the silence, turned to look at Xiao Se, and asked curiously, "Xiao Se, why are you staring in that direction in the distance? What's so interesting about that mountain?"

“A mountain? Perhaps!” Xiao Se shook his head and said slowly, “That mountain is actually just a symbol. I used to think that thing was very important, that there was no hope of achieving it in this lifetime, like a towering mountain that is impossible to climb. But now… it’s not such a difficult thing after all!”

Sikong Qianluo was taken aback, and asked with some curiosity, "What are you talking about? It sounds so mysterious. What is it?"

"Of course... I can't say!" Xiao Se smiled, and seeing that Sikong Qianluo was unhappy, he quickly changed the subject, asking, "Have you ever been to Tianqi?"

"Tianqi City?"

Sikong Qianluo was taken aback, shook her head, and asked somewhat strangely, "Why are you bringing this up? Is that place as fun as Snow Moon City?"

"Fun? Of course not!" Xiao Se shook his head, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "That place is filthy, far worse than Snowmoon City!"

"Dirty? Isn't that place supposed to be huge? It's said to be six times bigger than Snowmoon City!" Sikong Qianluo curled her lip and said, "So the people there are really that uncouth!"

“Isn’t that right?” A smile appeared on Xiao Se’s icy face as he slowly said, “That’s why I don’t like that city! However, I still have to go!”

“Then I’ll go with you!” Sikong Qianluo said excitedly, “I’ve never been to Tianqi City before!”

Xiao Se nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me then!"

On the other side, Tang Lian arrived at the location indicated on the note, where a beautiful figure stood quietly on the roof of the restaurant!

She wore a veil, her beautiful eyes captivating, and when she looked at Tang Lian, she revealed a gentle smile.

"You...how did you get here?" Tang Lian asked, somewhat surprised!

This woman was none other than Tiannv Rui!

Tian Nu Rui chuckled and said softly, "You're asking me? Didn't you send me messages by carrier pigeon? I didn't expect you to be joking!"

"Uh! Haha, you found out!"

Tang Lian thought about it for a moment and knew that it was Boss Xiao who did it!

However, I didn't say anything, but I felt a little touched!

"Alright! I brought quite a bit of fine wine..." Tian Nu Rui came to Tang Lian, gently exhaled, and continued, "There are also other gifts..."

"Oh?"

Tang Lian wanted to maintain a proper demeanor, but Tian Nu Rui dragged her into the restaurant!

Chapter 127 Li Xiuyuan, I also plan to go out of the city to take a look.

What Tang Lian and Tian Nv Rui did in the restaurant is a top secret.

Li Xiuyuan arrived at the city lord's mansion very quickly.

Li Hanyi glanced at Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo, who were a thousand feet away, with some surprise, and said, "What's wrong with these two...? I wonder what Sikong Changfeng is feeling right now? Should we go to his wine cellar again...? Is that a good idea?"

"Don't worry, he's easygoing!" Li Xiuyuan waved his fan and added, "Of course, most importantly...!"

Li Xiuyuan stopped there.

He wanted to say that the most important thing was for Li Hanyi to take the blame... but after thinking about it, being chased around by Li Hanyi wasn't a fun thing!

Forget it!

"What's the most important thing?" Li Hanyi turned her head, her face full of curiosity.

"Haha! It's nothing!"

Li Xiuyuan certainly wouldn't invite trouble upon himself!

"You two, you want my hidden wine?" Sikong Changfeng appeared out of nowhere, looked at Li Xiuyuan and Li Hanyi, shook his head, and said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this! You two..."

"Clang!"

Li Hanyi drew his longsword halfway out of its sheath, looked at Sikong Changfeng, and said, "Shall we have a spar? It's been so many years since we last sparred!"

"No! It costs a lot of money to rebuild my city lord's mansion!" Sikong Changfeng quickly waved his hand.

He's in a good mood right now.

One is that Li Hanyi finally has a child and a half, and the other is that she won't be idle and destroy things at home.

This is truly a double celebration!

He immediately waved his hand, raised his hand and circulated his true energy to strike, overturning the floor tiles on the ground.

An entire wine cellar appeared.

The enticing aroma of wine filled the air, and Li Xiuyuan swallowed hard.

He collapsed directly from the roof, looked at the wine in the cellar, and was overjoyed. He said, "This is... a peach blossom wine that is over 130 years old! This jar is Yunzui wine, made by the master brewer Yunzui a hundred years ago... There are very few left, it is almost extinct!"

Li Xiuyuan held a fan and called out each person's name one by one.

It has to be said that Li Xiuyuan is an expert in this area!

It's just as good as Boss Xiao's mini-encyclopedia!

Sikong Changfeng's collection is also dazzling, and it can be said that even the royal wine cellar may not be able to compare with Sikong Changfeng's wine cellar!

"Hehe, Master Daoji is so knowledgeable in this area!" Sikong Changfeng patted Daoji on the shoulder, and was about to pull Li Xiuyuan aside to discuss his insights.

But upon seeing Li Hanyi's gaze, his expression immediately turned serious.

I almost forgot, this is supposed to be a date between Li Xiuyuan and Li Hanyi, why am I getting involved?

He then said, "Such a beautiful day, with flowers in bloom and the moon shining brightly, I won't disturb you any longer. Please, Master Daoji, enjoy this wine as you please!" (www.23sk.com)

As he spoke, Sikong Changfeng vanished from Li Xiuyuan's sight in a flash.

"You run pretty fast!" Li Hanyi chuckled.

Li Xiuyuan wasn't in a hurry. He raised his hand and waved, causing the stone slabs in the entire wine cellar to fall down, sealing the wine cellar back into place!

Li Hanyi was quite puzzled and asked, "Li Xiuyuan, aren't you going to get some wine?"

"no need!"

Li Xiuyuan stretched and said leisurely, "These wines are all his hard work. I was just curious and took a look!"

"Alright, then forget it!" Li Hanyi didn't mind at all, and pointed to the bustling street, saying, "Let's go for a walk?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't mind. He took a sip of wine and said, "That's fine too!"

The streets were bustling with people.

Most of the young boys and girls were playing in pairs on the streets!

Some people also gathered in groups of three or five to watch the play on the street.

"Come on, come and see, it's time for fireworks!"

A familiar voice rang out, and Li Xiuyuan turned his head to see that it was Lei Wujie using Lei Men's gunpowder to perform fireworks!

Judging from the skillful technique, this is definitely not the first time he has done this!

"It's quite beautiful!" Li Hanyi stopped and turned to look in Lei Wujie's direction.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything!

I took a sip of wine!
