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

A chill ran through her. She glanced at Lei Wujie, and a question involuntarily surfaced in her mind: "For Lei Wujie, is it happier to travel the world with his sister, or to become a sword immortal and retire from the martial world?"

The answer is obvious!

Lei Wujie would definitely choose the former!

Lei Wujie, who was standing to the side, thought Li Hanyi was angry and whispered, "Sister, I know! I'll be more careful next time! Don't be angry!"

"I'm not angry, I just understand some things now!" Li Hanyi smiled slightly.

The aura emanating from him changed.

Once you reach the level of a sword immortal, each of you has your own path.

But to truly understand it, you need to experience it for yourself!

And now, Li Hanyi has finally taken that small step forward!

This small step was enough to boost her combat power significantly!

Li Xiuyuan sensed the change in Li Hanyi's aura the instant it changed!

Li Xiuyuan was taken aback, and said with some surprise, "Your swordsmanship..."

"Just a few more insights!"

Li Hanyi smiled slightly, and the icy aura that had been emanating from her body dissipated once again.

If Li Hanyi was a cold, aloof beauty before, now she exudes a vibrant energy.

There's a feeling that winter is about to pass and spring is coming!

Lei Wujie looked at Li Hanyi and said with some confusion, "Sister, why do I feel like you've changed?"

"Oh!" Li Hanyi looked at Lei Wujie and chuckled, "How did things change!"

Lei Wujie scratched his head, chuckled, and mustered his courage to say, "It's not as fierce as it used to be!"

"Huh? I used to be fierce?" Li Hanyi's eyes widened!

"No... I'm going to check on how Miss Ruoyi is doing!" Lei Wujie's eyes darted around, and he turned and ran!

A wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall!

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

This is the method that Boss Xiao taught him!

"This guy... he's gotten clever!" Li Hanyi was somewhat surprised.

She thought Lei Wujie would obediently admit his mistake!

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of his drink and said, "That little blockhead isn't stupid; he just doesn't like to play petty tricks on his friends!"

"That's true!" Li Hanyi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Li Xiuyuan, I won't be going to the Tang Clan!"

"Hmm? Why?" Li Xiuyuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Li Hanyi slowly said, "This... involves some things from a long time ago! There are some grudges between me and the Tang Clan... old stories!"

"Oh?"

Li Xiuyuan became interested.

Li Hanyi has a grudge against the Tang Clan? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!

Even in the original work, this matter doesn't seem to be mentioned, but that's not surprising.

After all, how can a single work possibly depict an entire world in such detail?

Li Hanyi slowly said, "That incident happened during the Langya King case, and the Tang Clan was also involved, but... I have no evidence!"

"Such a thing is true?" Li Xiuyuan was taken aback.

“But I’m certain of one thing: someone from the Tang Clan… must have been involved!” Li Hanyi said calmly, her face expressionless. “After that, I never saw that person again. If I went to the Tang Clan and recognized that person at a glance, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to control myself and would draw my sword and kill him on the spot!”

“Strange…” Li Xiuyuan stroked his chin, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Based on the known plot, Tang Sect and Dark River joined forces, deploying all their top experts, yet Li Hanyi still didn't show any deep hatred.

Instead, he acted as if he had no grudge against the Tang Clan and asked, "Why are you trying to kill me? I have no grudge against you!"

Could it be that fate and destiny have changed once again?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan turned his head to look in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain and suddenly froze.

That makes sense. Xuanjian Xian never left Qingcheng Mountain in his entire life, so it's not surprising that Li Hanyi has a grudge against someone in the Tang Clan!

It's just unknown which expert from the Tang Clan made the move back then!

"What are you looking at?" Li Hanyi glanced curiously in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain, thinking that Li Xiuyuan was looking at Tang Lian, who was giving Xiao Se acupuncture.

He chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry, Tang Lian is not bad. I've always been clear about my gratitude and grudges!"

“I’ve never worried about that!” Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine, looked away, and glanced at the desolate scene that was almost over.

During the conversation, Xiao Se slowly walked over from a distance, looking pale and sickly.

Clearly, Tang Lian's acupuncture treatment was not pleasant!

Sikong Qianluo glanced at Xiao Se with some concern and asked, "Xiao Se... are you alright?"

"It's nothing!" Xiao Se shook his head.

He has endured things that are a thousand times more painful than this!

The suffering we are experiencing is really insignificant!

Xiao Se approached Li Xiuyuan and slowly said, "Mad Monk, have you noticed anything amiss?"

Li Xiuyuan waved his fan, turned to look at Xiao Se, and said, "What? That's strange!"

"The only ones who know Tang Lian's whereabouts and the route back are us and the Tang Clan!" Xiao Se curled his lip, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said, "However, there are assassins in this place, precisely lying in ambush, and even the poison is... a poison that Tang Lian is unfamiliar with! It's clearly a trap specifically designed for Tang Lian!"

Li Hanyi glanced at Tang Lian in the distance and said softly, "Someone in the Tang Clan wants to kill him! If we hadn't followed, Tang Lian would already be dead!"

In the distance, Tang Lian was taken aback when she heard Li Hanyi's words.

He walked over, and said somewhat uncertainly, "It can't be that bad! Why would anyone in the Tang Clan want to kill me? For no reason at all!"

"That's not necessarily true! Jealousy, hatred, or perhaps you've unknowingly hindered someone else!" Xiao Se stroked his chin and said slowly, "These questions can only be answered by going to the Tang Sect!"

Chapter 135 The Strange Tang Clan!

Li Xiuyuan then stretched out his hand, flexed his fingers, and said, "I've done some calculations and discovered..."

Xiao Se immediately knew what Li Xiuyuan was going to say and preemptively retorted, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed?"

"Uh, that's true!" Li Xiuyuan said speechlessly, taking a sip of his drink. "Boss Xiao, you've finally learned to answer first!"

"cut!"

Xiao Se waved his hand and said, "Crazy monk, when have you ever not said that?"

"Aren't you curious about the reason?" Li Xiuyuan poked Xiao Se with his fan and said with a grin, "Perhaps I, the monk, can tell you?"

Xiao Se smiled slightly and said, "I've already guessed pretty much everything. I'll know once I get to the Tang Clan!"

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was speechless.

He noticed that Xiao Se seemed to be getting smarter and smarter lately!

Even without using a cheat-like skill like fortune telling, they can still guess pretty much everything!

The reason Tang Lian was assassinated is very simple.

That is Old Master Tang of the Tang Clan, who is even more ruthless than in the original novel.

In his eyes, Tang Lian was nothing more than a pawn!

An existence that can be sacrificed at any time!

In the original story, Tang Lian was to be placed under house arrest, but now... we'll just use an assassin to solve the problem!

From this perspective, Master Tang Lian's situation...

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan did some calculations and, after discovering that Tang Lianyue was not in any major problem, shook his head!

In that case, there's nothing to worry about!

At this moment, Tang Lian said with a smile, "Xiao Se is right. Once we get to the Tang Clan, we can find out by asking! Perhaps, besides the Tang Clan, the Dark River can also get information from other parts!"

Xiao Se glanced at Tang Lian but did not refute her.

He knew that Tang Lian still trusted the Tang Clan quite a bit!

There's no point in refuting it now!

Seeing that everyone was wondering why an assassin had gone to kill Tang Lian, Lei Wujie came over and said, "Um... are you guys hungry? I'm a little hungry!"

"Gurgle!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie's stomach rumbled loudly!

Xiao Se smiled and said, "Alright, you little blockhead, let's hurry up and get going. We can rest when we get to Tang Sect!"

The group looked around the inn; the waiter's body was right outside.

I'm not in the mood to rest at all!

After collecting and burying the waiter's body, Li Xiuyuan and his group set off towards the location of the Tang Clan!

Meanwhile, on the other side, within the Tang Sect!

At this time, the Tang Clan was no longer the Tang Clan that Tang Lian knew; it had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Tang Lianyue put her hands behind her back, turned her head, looked at the old master of the Tang Clan not far away, and asked, "Are you really sure?"

"Not bad!"

"Your stubbornness will bring about the destruction of the Tang Clan!"

"No, it will bring the Tang Clan back to its former glory!"

Tang Lianyue was taken aback, put her hands behind her back, and stopped talking!

The old patriarch of the Tang Clan continued, "Heh heh, we old folks... don't have much time left, we won't live for many more years! The Tang Clan... the future still belongs to you!"
