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

The plan to get rid of Tang Lian also had the approval of Old Master Tang.

"I was so stupid, I should have thought of that sooner!" Tang Lian sighed, sitting down on the ground, and slowly said, "The Bone-Melting Incense, a rare and long-lost poison, besides the old master, how many other people could possibly concoct it!"

In an instant, Tang Lian felt a chill run through her heart!

To his utter surprise, the Tang Clan patriarch, whom he considered his closest confidant, actually... personally plotted to kill him!

Simply because I was in the way!

Lei Wujie, standing to the side, was also extremely puzzled, and even said with some anger, "Grandpa wants to destroy the Lei family, why!"

"Because, the martial world is all about ambition!" Xiao Se glanced at Lei Wujie, for the first time not to complain, but to sigh and slowly say, "Your sister, Senior Baili, Senior Sikong..."

Chapter 140 It's not so easy to put righteousness before family!

"Why are they all retired from the martial arts world?"

"Because they already know about the dark side of the martial arts world and don't want to get involved anymore!"

After Xiao Se finished speaking, Lei Wujie remained silent for a long time.

Even Tang Lian fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat lost.

He didn't know what to say, nor what he was thinking!

All that remained in my mind was a jumble of sounds, the source of which I couldn't decipher.

After a long silence, Tang Lian broke the stillness first, slowly saying, "Are interests, reputation, and power really that important?"

"It's not important to us! It's not important to the city lord and his group either! There are many people like that!" Xiao Se chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and said calmly, "But for many more people, it's very important! They're willing to give up some things for fame and fortune!"

Looking at Lei Wujie, who was in a very low mood, Li Xiuyuan patted him on the head with his fan and said with a smile, "Little blockhead, you've taken a hit!"

"Ok!"

Lei Wujie responded blankly, his eyes filled with confusion.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se and the others all turned to look at Li Xiuyuan, wanting to see what he would say.

If there is anyone who can remain completely uninvolved, then there is only one.

That's Li Xiuyuan!

Even Xiao Se had to admit that Li Xiuyuan, who was usually carefree, was truly a very pure person.

No affectation, just living life as you please.

"Hahaha! You lot are really blinded by your own involvement!" Li Xiuyuan had anticipated this situation. He picked up his wine gourd, took a sip, and put on a serious expression. He said, "I believe that we should distinguish between right and wrong and deal with people according to their character! Are all the people in the Tang Clan bad? Tang Lian, Tang Lianyue, and the other Tang Clan members who don't know the truth! Why should everyone take the blame for the decisions made by a few old bastards?"

"That's right!"

Lei Wujie slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "My brother-in-law is right! These old guys don't represent the Tang Clan!"

"call!"

Tang Lian also breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a serious expression, "I'll go back and call the old man and the others back. If I can't, then I'll have no choice but to..."

"Don't think so extremely..." Li Xiuyuan patted Tang Lian's shoulder with his fan, gave a mysterious smile, and said, "I've calculated it, Tang Lian... you haven't passed the life-or-death ordeal yet!"

"A life-or-death ordeal?"

Tang Lian gave a bitter smile.

He wouldn't have believed anyone else, but it was Li Xiuyuan who spoke.

If it is said to be a life-or-death calamity, then it must be a life-or-death calamity!

Xiao Se glanced at Tang Lian and slowly said, "Are you caught between the Tang Clan and the Lei Family, feeling torn between the two? Don't want to give up either side, but have to make a choice?"

Tang Lian was taken aback, then slowly nodded.

Xiao Se's heart skipped a beat; he already knew what Tang Lian was thinking!

Since I'm caught in a dilemma, I'll just not choose!

Death is probably... a relatively easy choice!

Is Tang Lian afraid of death?

Of course I'm not afraid!

No wonder the mad monk said... Tang Lian is facing a life-or-death crisis!

I'm afraid no one can help me with this calamity!

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and looked at Tang Lian.

The way people think in this era differs from that of modern people.

In Tang Lian's eyes, Old Master Tang represents the Tang Clan!

This includes Tang Lianyue, which is why Old Master Tang was able to restrain her!

Because in this era, in the eyes of the Tang Clan disciples, Old Master Tang is the Tang Clan itself!

In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, the thousands of disciples who make up the Tang Clan are the true Tang Clan!

He looked at Tang Lian and said with a smile, "I like to say that you should act according to your heart. What kind of Tang Clan you want is not up to the old master and a few others to decide. In the end, it is you and the thousands of Tang Clan members who will shape it! You have not betrayed the Tang Clan! It was the old master who betrayed the Tang Clan!"

Tang Lian was startled, and a bright light flashed through her mind, piercing through the darkness!

My previously gloomy mood instantly brightened!

A smile appeared on Tang Lian's face. She turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and said softly, "Daoji, I understand! Thank you!"

"Good that you understand!" Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Then, it's time to clean up the traitors!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lian nodded slightly, turned to look at Lei Wujie, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, are you willing to assist the Tang Clan in eliminating the traitors within the Tang Clan?"

"Of course!" Lei Wujie rubbed his hands together, fuming, and said, "I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

Xiao Se nodded slightly and said, "Count me in too, you little blockhead!"

"it is good!"

Lei Wujie tossed the letter aside and said to Li Xiuyuan, "Brother-in-law, what are we waiting for? Let's go back to Lei Sect!"

"No rush!" Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly, turned to look at a dark corner not far away, and said softly, "You... haven't made up your mind yet?"

"Hey!"

A soft sigh escaped, and then a person slowly emerged from the corner.

It was Tang Lianyue.

"master?"

Tang Lian was full of surprise. Tang Lianyue's appearance here was really beyond his expectations!

Judging from this, Tang Lianyue must have arrived quite some time ago.

But he seemed to remain silent, standing quietly to the side.

Xiao Se smiled slightly and said, "Senior Tang, you've arrived!"

"I...have made up my mind!" Tang Lian Yue smiled and slowly said, "Master Dao Ji is right, the old master doesn't represent the Tang Clan! I'll go with you. If the old master sees the error of his ways, that's fine. But if he remains obstinate, then I'll have no choice but to...draw my sword!"

Tang Lian's eyes lit up!

He said it, but he wasn't sure in his heart.

Seeing that his master had agreed, he felt more confident.

"Clap!"

A footstep sounded, and a figure appeared in the moonlight above Old Master Tang's window.

This person was slender and carried a hint of coldness, like a plum blossom blooming in the biting cold wind.

This... is Li Hanyi!

"Tang Lianyue, I'm glad you made this decision!" Li Hanyi looked at Tang Lianyue and said slowly, "But you don't need to take action!"

Tang Lianyue was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

"You're not suitable!" Li Hanyi looked at Tang Lianyue and said calmly, "You and Old Master Tang both have the surname Tang! It's not easy to put family members aside for the greater good! I'll make sure he leaves with dignity!"

Tang Lianyue was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Indeed!"

Li Hanyi is right. It's fine to let him fight with Old Master Tang, but he has to kill the old master.

He couldn't do it, and neither could Tang Lian!

Putting righteousness before family is not so easy!

Chapter 141 Setting Off Again

Tang Lian also sighed and said to Li Hanyi, "Second Master, I... I don't expect you to spare the old master's life, at least let him... not suffer so much!"

"I will!" Li Hanyi nodded slightly, turned around, and was about to leave.

A sword immortal can travel a thousand miles a day. At her speed, she could return to Leimen in less than a day.

They easily got there before Old Master Tang and his group.

Just then, Li Xiuyuan slowly said, "Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Li Hanyi turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Do you remember what I said?" Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "You are facing a life-or-death crisis!"

Li Hanyi was taken aback for a moment, and said softly, "I thought it was over, but it isn't?"

"Of course not!" Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, there are still some things that haven't been resolved!"

Li Hanyi frowned slightly and said, "Given Old Master Tang's stamina, he shouldn't be too far from the Lei family by now!"

"Hi!"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said to Li Hanyi, "Have you ever thought that instead of going to the Lei family, Old Master Tang was waiting on the road you must take from the Tang Clan to the Lei family, and setting up a trap?"

"trap?"
