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

The current situation is far more dangerous than that of Xiao Chong, the White King!

But Crimson King Xiao Yu realized with some despair that he had no way to deal with Xiao Se!

One is Li Hanyi, and the other is a mad monk!

The two of them together are already invincible, not to mention Baili Dongjun of Snow Moon City, Sikong Changfeng, Tang Lianyue of Tang Sect, Tang Lian and so on.

Chapter 177 One Battle Shocks the World!

These people might have been neutral before, but now they will definitely stand directly on Xiao Se's side!

With Xiao Se's current strength, if he were to compete for the throne, it would be a foregone conclusion!

It's fair to say that he was completely powerless to fight back!

Just then, another subordinate rushed in from outside. Seeing the furious Crimson King Xiao Yu, he cautiously said, "Your Highness, I have some bad news..."

The Red King's heart skipped a beat.

He's heard far too much bad news these days!

Forcibly suppressing his anger, Crimson King Xiao Yu slowly said, "Speak, what bad news is there!"

Seeing this, the guard cautiously said, "News has come from Lei Men! That mad monk has found a way to cure Xiao Chuhe's hidden meridians!"

"Snapped!"

Crimson King Xiao Yu crushed the cup in his hand, his whole body trembling slightly, and said coldly, "I understand, you may leave!"

Upon seeing this situation, the guards dared not linger and turned to run away!

After the guards left, Xiao Yu sat down on the stool, panting heavily!

For the first time in his life, he felt completely lost!

Beside him, an advisor slowly approached Xiao Yu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, why don't we discuss with the White King and fight against Xiao Se together?"

“White King…” Xiao Yu frowned, a thought flashing through his mind.

That's a good idea, but given the relationship between Bai Wang and Xiao Se, it's unlikely they'll join forces to fight against Xiao Se.

Is it possible?

Seeing that the Crimson King was tempted, the advisor beside him continued, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much! Even if the White King and Xiao Se have some connection, faced with the temptation of the throne, he'll probably... Give me three days, and I will definitely persuade the White King to join forces with you!"

"Sigh!" Xiao Yu sighed and said slowly, "That's the only way!"

……

Meanwhile, the Lei family was having a lively banquet celebration!

A group of servants were busy changing the white cloth into a festive red cloth. The guests who had come to mourn Lei Qianhu had now turned into a wedding banquet!

Lei Hong sat in the hall, looking at Lei Qianhu beside him, and said, "I really didn't expect this! A funeral can be turned into a celebration! I had originally planned that if the two of us died at the hands of the Dark River, these guests who have come here would at least collect our bodies!"

"Hey, why are you saying all this bad luck?" Lei Qianhu said with some dissatisfaction. He looked at his arm and said with some surprise, "Li Xiuyuan's skills are really good. He completely cured my illness. I'm full of energy now, even more energetic than if I had taken a one-day pill!"

Lei Hong was taken aback at first, then slammed his hand on the table and said, "Hmph, you're happy now, but all the wine I hid is gone! That Li Xiuyuan guy even mentioned medical expenses and stuff!"

"Alright, alright, you're actually interested in some cheap wine!"

Lei Qianhu waved his hand, his gaze leisurely fixed on the distance. Thinking of Lei Wujie, Tang Lian, Xiao Se, and the others, he said with a smile, "Lei Hong, do you think we're getting old? The younger generation is almost catching up with us!"

Lei Hong was slightly taken aback, and said with a hint of regret, "Tsk, it really is like that!"

"You two, just become stronger!" Li Hanyi slowly walked in, her gaze falling on Lei Qianhu, and then said, "It's getting late, so we won't be attending the banquet! Farewell!"

Lei Qianhu was taken aback, feeling a bit strange, and asked, "So you're leaving in such a hurry? It doesn't seem like a day or two won't make a difference, does it?"

"There's a reason for that!" Lei Wujie also came over and said, "The large ship that will treat Xiao Se's hidden meridians will set sail in two days! It's the only ship that can enter the overseas immortal islands! If we don't seize this opportunity, the next one won't be for another three months!"

"I see!" Lei Qianhu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "In that case, I won't keep you any longer! There's plenty of time to celebrate later!"

Seeing this, Lei Hong turned to look at Lei Wujie, wanting to give him the Killing Fear Sword, but after thinking about it, he took it back, patted Lei Wujie's shoulder, and said, "You have the Heart Sword, that's enough! My sword is not suitable for you! Follow this path, and perhaps, when you return from that overseas immortal mountain, you will be able to surpass me!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Probably not, Master! I'm far from being on your level!"

Lei Hong was greatly surprised and looked at Lei Wujie with astonishment, saying, "You actually know how to be modest!"

"I've always known!" Lei Wujie was speechless!

On the other side, Lei Qianhu looked at Xiao Se and said with a smile, "Xiao Se, or rather... His Highness Prince Yong'an!"

"I still prefer you to call me Xiao Se!" Xiao Se shook his head slightly, thought carefully, and said, "I don't like the title of Prince Yong'an!"

Lei Qianhu was somewhat surprised and said, "You're not going to..."

“If it were before, I might have had some thoughts, but now, none of them!” Xiao Se narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and said with a carefree laugh, “I’m not interested! The world of martial arts is vast, far more exciting than any single position!”

Lei Qianhu was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "I was just about to say that if you're interested in that position, my Lei family will definitely support you with all our might!"

"I wouldn't call it support, but I would like to ask you for a small favor!" Xiao Se said with a smile.

Upon hearing that he was offered help, Lei Qianhu said without any hesitation, "What kind of help is it? Just tell me!"

"Soon I'll be going to Tianqi City to seek justice! Please... do me a favor!" Xiao Se blinked, and the small town said, "Go and make up the numbers!"

Lei Qianhu chuckled and said, "I thought it was something serious. Don't even mention just filling in the numbers; I wouldn't care even if I lost my life!"

"Throw your life away? I, the monk, will not agree to that!" Li Xiuyuan leaned closer and said with a grin, "Don't worry, I've calculated everything, you're not in any danger!"

Just as Lei Qianhu was about to speak, he heard Lei Hong shout loudly from the side: "Li Xiuyuan, give me back my wine!"

Immediately afterwards, Lei Hong charged towards Li Xiuyuan with the Killing Fear Sword in hand!

Li Xiuyuan slightly turned his body to dodge Lei Hong's sword, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Monk, didn't I say this is for medical expenses!"

"What medical expenses? You're just using your position for personal revenge!" Lei Hong said indignantly. "Lei Qianhu also has a stash of wine, why didn't you go and take his? Is it because of Li Hanyi?"

Li Xiuyuan said with a serious expression, "There is absolutely no such possibility!"

"Crazy monk, I never would have guessed!" Xiao Se poked Li Xiuyuan with his finger and said with a grin, "You've even started taking revenge on others now! You've gone bad!"

Chapter 178 The White King's Choice

Li Xiuyuan immediately jumped aside, pointed at Xiao Se with his fan, and said, "Boss Xiao, how dare you slander someone's innocence for no reason! And that wine, you too..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lei Wujie swiftly covered Li Xiuyuan's mouth, his forehead covered in cold sweat!

Thank goodness! If Li Xiuyuan had revealed that he was the one who led the group to dig for wine, I would have definitely gotten a severe beating!

Upon seeing Lei Wujie's expression, Lei Hong knew that this kid was most likely involved as well!

He sighed and said, "Never mind, Li Xiuyuan, that wine... it won't be a waste if you drink it. Just consider it my contribution to the wedding! When you and Li Hanyi get married, I'll go and drink the wine back!"

"Is this never going to end?!"

Li Xiuyuan was speechless!

After chatting for a while, Li Xiuyuan and his group left the Lei family and returned to the Sword Heart Tomb.

Since they didn't need to hide their identities, at the speed of Li Xiuyuan's group, it took them less than a day—they left in the morning and arrived at the Sword Heart Tomb by evening.

However, Li Xiuyuan did not stay long.

He took Hua Jin and Ye Ruoyi with him, preparing to travel together to the overseas fairy island.

Hua Jin prepared to go up to collect herbs, and Ye Ruoyi naturally followed along to heal her heart injury on the spot!

Of course, there's another use for it, and that's for Mo Yi!

Upon arriving outside the Sword Heart Tomb, Li Suwang turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Li Xiuyuan, now you can tell me what you're up to, right? You've been loitering around here for ages!"

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's expression turned serious, and he said to Li Suwang, "Actually, there's nothing serious! This trip to the overseas immortal mountains has cost a lot, so I'm preparing to... ask for alms!"

"Simply put, you're out of money?" Li Suwang was speechless.

But at the same time, it's also a bit funny!

He glanced at Xiao Se and the others; they were all looking around.

Clearly, they all agreed with Li Xiuyuan's approach, because they really didn't have much money left!

Even Mr. Xiao's fortune is almost gone!

Therefore, the group unanimously agreed to let Li Xiuyuan go "begging for alms".

Anyway, Li Xiuyuan is heartless and doesn't care about these things!

"Never mind!" Li Suwang said speechlessly, raised his hand and grabbed a box of pearls that flew out of the treasure vault and landed in his hand.

He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Each of these pearls is worth a thousand taels of silver. Here you go! It's more than enough for your travel expenses!"

"Thank you very much!" Li Xiuyuan did not refuse and directly put away the pearl.

Lei Wujie was somewhat reluctant to leave and said to Li Suwang, "Grandpa, I'm leaving now!"

"Hmm!" Li Suwang sighed, then said to Lei Wujie, "Grandson, you must be tired from wandering the martial world those days! Why don't you come to the Sword Heart Tomb and inherit my position here? I'll get some rest!"

"okay!"

Lei Wujie smiled and readily agreed!

"Then, Senior Li, farewell!"

Xiao Se and Tang Lian also clasped their hands in farewell to Li Suwang!

Li Suwang nodded slightly and said, "You lot, don't forget to come visit me sometime in the future!"

"I definitely will!" Xiao Se turned around and said with a smile, "Farewell!"

After saying that, the group headed towards the port!

……

On the other side, King Xiao Chong also learned of Xiao Se's news.

However, he was much more at ease!

He sat quietly on the stool, sipped his tea, and said with a smile, "Would you be interested in that position? No... no!"

A person standing nearby asked curiously, "Your Highness, aren't you worried about Prince Yong'an...?"

“No need to worry!” King Bai sighed, as if remembering something, and slowly said, “He… has changed! I’ve met him a few times! Perhaps I should call him… Xiao Se now! King Yong’an, perhaps he will soon disappear forever!”
