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

Ultimately, there really is a reason why Tang Lian was targeted by the Dark River this time.

The main reason is that he took Tang Lian to Wushuang City, and compared to the original novel, Tang Lian is now very close to Xiao Se.

It was because of this that Tang Lian was targeted by the Dark River.

Of course, the core target is still Li Hanyi.

Tang Lian and Lei Wujie are just incidental; if they can be killed, they can be killed; if not... it doesn't really matter.

Tang Lian immediately understood when she saw Li Xiuyuan's expression.

He'd ask the reason later, grabbing the assassin and saying, "Hand over the antidote for the Bone-Melting Incense, and I'll spare your life!"

"Really?" The waiter, who thought he was doomed, immediately took out a packet of powder upon hearing Tang Lian's words and said, "This is the antidote!"

Tang Lian took the powder, but after just one sniff, she flew into a rage and said, "You bastard, you actually tried to fool me with a slow-acting poison?"

As the most outstanding disciple of the Tang Clan, what poison hasn't Tang Lian seen besides the bizarre and deadly poison, Bone-Melting Incense?

This poison can indeed be used to fight poison with poison, temporarily suppressing the deadly poison of the Bone-Melting Incense, but given enough time, death is still inevitable!

The waiter's expression changed. Fake? How could that be? That person clearly told him…

At this moment, Xiao Se slowly walked over and said, "Alright, stop making things difficult for him! Tang Lian, haven't you noticed that he's already been poisoned by that slow-acting poison?"

Tang Lian was taken aback and carefully observed the waiter.

His forehead was dark and his lips were bluish-purple.

The person in front of me is on the verge of death from the poison. He will die within fifteen minutes at most!

I was immediately stunned!

Xiao Se sighed and continued, "It's obvious that Dark River gave him the Bone-Melting Incense, but not the real antidote... He was just a discarded pawn who was killed after being used!"

Chapter 133 The Ruthlessness of the Dark River: Murder to Silence!

Upon hearing this, the surrounding area fell into a deathly silence.

Ye Ruoyi said softly, "Dark River's methods are truly ruthless! If Tang Lian is killed, this person will die from the poison! They'll kill him to silence him!"

"If we don't kill her, as long as Tang Lian is poisoned, she will inevitably seek an antidote... but the antidote is a slow-acting poison... and she will certainly die!"

"Then aren't we doomed?" Lei Wujie asked with a mournful face, tugging at Li Xiuyuan. "Brother-in-law, are your 'leg-stretching and eye-glaring pills' working?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se and Tang Lian turned their heads.

They both remembered Daoji's "Leg-Stretching and Eye-Staring Pill," which could bring the dead back to life and heal bones.

It can be called a miraculous medicine, with effects beyond comprehension.

Although the production process was a bit disgusting...

Daoji slapped Lei Wujie with his fan and said, "This monk doesn't use my 'Stretch Leg and Stare Eye Pill' like that. Do you know how much ash you have to rub off to make one? If there are so many of you, and I take one for each of you, we'll rub our skin off!"

"Ah! Wouldn't that solve the problem of the Bone-Melting Incense?" Lei Wujie's eyes lit up, and he instantly became full of energy.

“Actually, there’s no need for the Leg-Stretching and Eye-Staring Pill; I, the monk, can handle this!” A golden light appeared in Li Xiuyuan’s hand, and he patted Lei Wujie on the body.

What he possesses is magical power, which is different from true energy and has various extraordinary effects.

Detoxification... that's just the most basic function.

"That's it?" Lei Wujie stretched his limbs and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow... it really does feel much easier!"

Seeing this, the others all crowded around to help Li Xiuyuan detoxify.

Only Xiao Se watched the assassin, standing still in thought, without coming over!

After curing the poison from the others, Li Xiuyuan approached the assassin, waving his fan, and said, "I... cannot cure your poison!"

"I know!" The waiter, his breath weak, shook his head and said, "After all, I wanted to kill you..."

Li Xiuyuan squatted down, shook his head, and said, "That's not the problem!"

The waiter was taken aback and asked, "Then why?"

“It’s very simple!” Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and said slowly, “Monk, I saved you, but you won’t repent and reform. Instead, you will go on to… continue killing! By saving you, I, the monk, have committed an enormous atrocity!”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Li Xiuyuan's cassock and said, "I...I will definitely turn over a new leaf, I..."

At this point, the waiter's eyes widened suddenly, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, dying from the poison!

Lei Wujie was no longer the young man he once was. Looking at the waiter, he shook his head and asked with some curiosity, "Brother-in-law, if you save him... how many more people will he kill?"

"Hmm, more than five hundred people!" Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and said, "Letting go of this kind of person is a sin... Pretending to repent is just to save his own life. Once he's safe, he'll turn around and harm even weaker people!"

"I understand!" Lei Wujie's expression turned serious. "Next time I see an assassin, I will make sure I don't let a single one of them go!"

Xiao Se walked over at this moment and said to Li Xiuyuan, "Mad monk, cure the poison in my body!"

"Boss Xiao, can you please be a little more polite?" Li Xiuyuan was speechless. Golden light emanated from his hand as he prepared to detoxify Xiao Se.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he did a quick calculation with his fingers and said with a somewhat strange expression, "Boss Xiao, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear...the good news first!" Seeing Li Xiuyuan's expression, Xiao Se knew that this mad monk must have figured something out. (23sK.com)

Li Xiuyuan withdrew the golden light from his hand and said with a grin, "The good news is, monk, I've calculated that you have a fortuitous opportunity, and it seems quite good!"

Xiao Se's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Then... what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is... Mr. Xiao, I'm not going to use the Bone-Melting Incense on you!" Li Xiuyuan turned to Tang Lian and said slowly, "Tang Lian can handle it, but the process might be a bit painful! And it will take a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se stroked his chin and said, "Does that mean if I give up this opportunity, you will cure me of the poison?"

"almost!"

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of his drink and said somewhat lazily, "The choice is yours!"

Xiao Se smiled wryly.

He naturally chose opportunity; as for suffering... he had already endured it four years ago.

Why would I be afraid of a Bone-Melting Incense?

Besides, with this mad monk in charge, what's there to be afraid of?

He immediately turned to look at Tang Lian and said, "Tang Lian, you can make your move now! What method do you want to use?"

"This..." Tang Lian looked troubled and said, "This is the first time I've seen Bone-Melting Incense. It's only recorded in the ancient books of the Tang Clan. It can be temporarily suppressed using acupuncture and medicine, but as for detoxification... I need to study it for a while longer!"

Xiao Se stroked his chin, looked at Tang Lian, and said, "Searching for books on the spot... No wonder that monk said he was in some pain. I have a bad feeling!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Se, acupuncture won't hurt!" Tang Lian had already taken out the silver needles and was walking towards Xiao Se.

"Gurgle!"

Xiao Se swallowed hard. Now that things had come to this, he could only take it one step at a time.

Lei Wujie, who was standing to the side, gently nudged Li Xiuyuan and said, "Brother-in-law, why do I feel like... you're setting Xiao Se up?"

Li Xiuyuan chuckled.

Sometimes, this little blockhead is frighteningly accurate.

Li Xiuyuan is not immune to interfering in the future!

He could suppress the bone-dissolving incense on Xiao Se's body directly with his magic power and hand it over to Tang Lian to return to the Tang Sect to resolve.

There was no pain.

As for why Tang Lian was allowed to do it directly...

One is that intervention may lead to changes in the future. The second is that Tang Lian's use of acupuncture to treat Xiao Se's bone-melting incense is itself an opportunity and a chance for improvement.

Of course, there was also a tiny bit of... the urge to mess with Boss Xiao.

It's just that Li Xiuyuan won't admit it!

At this moment, Li Hanyi walked over, raised her hand and slapped Lei Wujie on the head, saying, "This time, you were all taken down by a low-level assassin! If Li Xiuyuan and I weren't here, you would all be a pile of corpses by now."

"Sister, I understand! There will never be a next time!"

Lei Wujie lowered his head.

Li Hanyi said, "If Li Xiuyuan and I come with you, you won't get any experience in the martial world! Therefore... we'll go ahead first!"

"Huh?" Lei Wujie was taken aback and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Sister, are you going to leave first?"

"More or less!" Li Hanyi put her hands behind her back, glanced at Li Xiuyuan, and said, "What do you think?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't care and said lazily, "I don't agree, monk... Wandering the world... isn't it all for fun!"

Chapter 134 Happiness? With clear thoughts, one's realm naturally improves!

"Happy?" Li Hanyi was slightly taken aback.

"Not bad!" Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and said slowly, "When you're wandering the martial world, the important thing is the process, the process of having fun! As for sword immortals and all that, it's all nonsense! Just be happy! If you became a sword immortal, would you be happy?"

Li Hanyi was stunned!

Li Xiuyuan's words were like a sharp sword light, instantly illuminating all her thoughts!

For a moment, Li Hanyi was lost in memories.

She recalled her carefree days as a young girl wandering the world.

Sword Immortal?

Perhaps! Back then, I really didn't consider it anything important!

Back then, didn't I also realize the dangers of the martial world and the cunning of people's hearts, which is why I left the martial world?

Back to Snowmoon City?

Why are you taking these things so seriously now?

Thinking of this, Li Hanyi sighed.

If she had to choose again, she definitely wouldn't want to realize... how dangerous the world is!

Because when you truly witness the dangers of the martial world, that's probably when your dream of roaming the martial world with a sword and upholding justice will vanish!

Thinking of this, Li Hanyi touched the Iron Horse Ice River in her hand!
