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

The man in black nodded frantically, looking at the Gu King Poison in Li Xiuyuan's hand, and said, "I...I surrender, please don't kill me!"

Seeing the man in black admit defeat, Li Xiuyuan didn't continue!

He channeled his magic to wipe away the Gu King's poison from his hand, then patted the man in black on the shoulder and said, "As a monk, I am naturally compassionate! You mustn't do anything evil in the future! Otherwise..."

"I will definitely correct my mistake!" The man in black was terrified!

"Elder Tang Jue!" Tang Lian recognized the man in black and said slowly, "You got involved in this matter too?"

Tang Jue glanced at Tang Lian, sighed, and said helplessly, "I didn't want to either, but it was the old master's idea... I had no choice! I can't betray the Tang Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lian was not angry!

He knew Tang Jue very well. Unlike Tang Jin, Tang Jue was usually a very kind person!

Tang Jin and Tang Jin have opposite personalities!

He was incredibly loyal to the Tang Clan, or rather... to the old master!

He obeyed the old master's orders and went with him to destroy the Lei family.

Tang Lian wasn't surprised at all!

He looked at Tang Jue and slowly said, "Tang Jue, now that you've admitted defeat, what are you planning to do next? If we let you go, you'll definitely go back to the Lei family and participate in the war to destroy Lei, right?"

“That’s right!” Tang Jue nodded, a helpless look on his face, and said to Tang Lian, “So, I have a suggestion! Knock me out, find someone to watch over me, and I promise I won’t run away!”

Tang Lian sighed, knowing that Tang Jue was making excuses for himself.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

"That's good!" Tang Jue nodded, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, I have some news for you. The people from Dark River who are with me are preparing to besiege Sword Heart Tomb! They've gathered quite a few experts for this!"

"what!"

Lei Wujie, who was standing to the side, became anxious.

That's where his maternal grandfather lived, how could this happen!

Xiao Se stroked his chin and said, "Attack where they must defend; the Dark River is trying to buy time! Sword Heart Tomb is three hundred miles away; it will take at least five days to recover! This is an open conspiracy!"

“But no matter what, Sword Heart Tomb will really be destroyed!” Tang Lian shook her head.

Seeing this, Lei Wujie looked directly at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Brother-in-law, shall we go?"

Li Xiuyuan stretched and said lazily, "Go, why not? Let's rest for a day, and we'll set off for Sword Heart Tomb tomorrow morning!"

Tang Jue was stunned, looking at Heng Lixiu with some confusion, and asked, "Crazy monk, don't you know the Dark River is trying to stall for time? Why are you still..."

Chapter 150 Li Hanyi's Worries

“I know you’re a monk!” Li Xiuyuan said lazily, taking a sip of wine. “But there’s plenty of time. I haven’t been to the Sword Heart Tomb yet, so of course I have to go and take a look!”

Tang Jue opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say!

Li Xiuyuan's reason... is impeccable!

However, what does the mad monk mean by saying there is plenty of time?

Tang Jue looked at Li Xiuyuan, opened his mouth, and asked, "Crazy monk, do you know that in at most five days, the Tang Clan and the Dark River will be ready and join forces to attack the Thunder Clan?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and chuckled, "Five days? That's hard to say!"

Tang Jue didn't know why Li Xiuyuan was so certain. He sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then I have no other questions! Tie me up!"

Upon hearing Tang Jue's words, Xiao Se and Tang Lian exchanged a glance.

They both understood each other's meaning.

Tang Jue is not a bad person, nor is he beyond redemption, otherwise...

Li Xiuyuan wouldn't spare his life on purpose!

Putting everything else aside, returning the Gu King's poison to Tang Jue would be enough to kill him!

Tang Lian paused for a moment, then said, "Elder Tang Jue, you may leave!"

"What?" Tang Jue was a little confused!

He looked at Tang Lian, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Tang Lian, do you know what will happen if you let me go? I..."

"I know!" Tang Lian shook his head slightly. He looked at Tang Jue and said softly, "Elder Tang Jue, the choice is still up to you! However, before I leave, I still have a few words to say! That is... do you think the old master is more important, or the Tang Clan?"

"This..." Tang Jue was taken aback.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say!

Xiao Se smiled slightly and said, "Elder Tang Jue, this is a very interesting question. To put it another way, is the current emperor more important, or are the people of the world more important? What do you think? That's all for now, we... shall take our leave!"

After saying that, he turned and left, ignoring Tang Jue who was sitting on the ground.

Tang Jue remained silent for a long while, then suddenly smiled and shook his head, saying, "I see, I misunderstood!"

Looking around, Li Xiuyuan and his group had already gone far away!

Tang Jue thought for a moment, then got up and walked in the direction of the Tang Clan!

On the way, Xiao Se turned his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan, asking, "Crazy monk, did you foresee that we would have to go to the Sword Heart Tomb? Is there some reason for going to the Sword Heart Tomb?"

"Hehe, Boss Xiao, do you think I'd tell you?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, shaking his tattered fan. "Boss Xiao, you're a walking encyclopedia of the martial arts world, why don't you take a guess!"

Xiao Se thought for a moment, then his gaze fell on Lei Wujie, and he said, "Could it be because of this little blockhead? I remember now!"

Originally, Xiao Se hadn't thought of the Sword Heart Tomb.

But now that I think about it, the master of the Sword Heart Tomb was Lei Wujie's maternal grandfather!

Within the Sword Heart Tomb lie countless famous swords, including the Heart Sword, the sword of Lei Wujie's mother, Li Xinyue.

The fourth most famous sword in the world seems to be located in the Sword Heart Tomb!

It seems that this mad monk had indeed planned it all out!

Only Lei Wujie remained clueless, asking, "What?"

"You little idiot, you'll find out soon enough!" Xiao Se put his hands in his sleeves, giving off an expression that said, "I know, but I'm definitely not going to tell."

Lei Wujie was utterly speechless!

If you know, just say so!

Can you please stop keeping us in suspense?

Xiao Se has definitely been corrupted by his brother-in-law!

Back at the inn, Xiao Se and the others prepared to rest, but Li Xiuyuan, not used to sleeping in the room, climbed onto the roof.

I casually found a spot and lazily took a small sip of fine wine.

Then he took out the chicken leg he had bought not long ago from his pocket, ready to have a midnight snack!

Suddenly, he heard a series of footsteps, and then he saw Li Hanyi, dressed in white, appear in front of him.

Under the moonlight, Li Hanyi's appearance was somewhat ordinary, despite being disguised.

But his aura was one of unparalleled nobility!

It gives people a feeling of being unapproachable!

"Um...you...came?" Li Xiuyuan scratched his head, then suddenly took out a chicken leg, handed it to Li Hanyi, and said with a smile, "Want some? Monk, let me tell you, it smells amazing!"

"I can smell it! But I have no appetite!" Li Hanyi put her hands behind her back.

Li Xiuyuan knew what Li Hanyi was thinking and asked, "Thinking about the Sword Heart Tomb?"

Li Hanyi remained silent for a moment, knowing that Li Xiuyuan had probably already figured it out.

He nodded slightly and said, "Mm!"

Li Xiuyuan naturally knew what Li Hanyi was thinking; it boiled down to two questions.

One is the safety of her maternal grandfather, Li Suyu, and the other is her mother, Li Xinyue!

These two people are both knots in Li Hanyi's heart!

“Actually, there’s no need to worry!” Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said, “Sword Heart Tomb is very safe!”

Li Hanyi looked at Li Xiuyuan with some surprise, sighed, and said, "Although I know about your fortune-telling skills, I'm still not at ease!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll give you a reason!" Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Dark River's goal is to buy time. Lei Qianhu definitely won't die in five days; he'll live for at least a month or two! Tell me, how can we buy as much time as possible? Send people to stop us? With two sword immortal-level combatants like us, even if Old Master Tang and Dark River himself come, it's uncertain who will kill whom!"

"You mean..." Li Hanyi was quick-witted and immediately grasped the crux of the matter, saying, "The Dark River won't initiate a confrontation with us?"

"Pretty much!" Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile, "They'll play hide-and-seek with us! They keep circling outside the Sword Heart Tomb. If we don't do anything, the Sword Heart Tomb will be destroyed. If we do do something, then... under normal circumstances, finding the hiding assassins in a month... is impossible! It would take a huge amount of time!"

"So that's how it is!" Li Hanyi was stunned, then remembered Li Xiuyuan's fortune-telling skills and exclaimed in surprise, "But they definitely didn't expect that you could tell fortunes!"

"No, this time I, the monk, cannot use my fortune-telling skills!" Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly, took a bite of dog meat, and said with a smile, "The Dark River is almost there now, and knows that there is someone among us who is more valuable than the Lei family!"

Li Hanyi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "You mean... Xiao Se?"

Li Hanyi still had some guesses about Xiao Se's identity!

That's the Sixth Prince, Xiao Chuhe!

If the Dark River knew this identity, it's not impossible that they would abandon the Thunder Gate and turn to kill Xiao Se!

Whether the Dark River destroys the Sword Heart Tomb or not is irrelevant, but the desolate scenery... still holds great appeal!

Chapter 151 The Dark River's Choice: White or Red?

“That’s right… Boss Xiao is going to suffer again this time!” Li Xiuyuan said with a smile. “However, every cloud has a silver lining! It seems that Boss Xiao’s hidden meridians are nearing the time to be resolved!”

Li Hanyi smiled slightly, and the worry in her heart disappeared!

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan handed the dog meat to Li Hanyi again, saying, "Want a piece? It's very delicious!"

Seeing this, Li Hanyi picked up a piece, took a small bite, nodded, and said, "Hmm, not bad!"

"right!"

Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

On the other side, the old master of the Tang Clan crushed the cup in his hand, losing his composure for the first time!
