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

Of course, Mu Chunfeng was also a shrewd person. As soon as he saw Xiao Se's plan, he knew that the other party did not intend to owe him a favor.

He immediately smiled and said, "That's enough! Actually, there's still quite a lot! Please come with me!"

"That'll be troublesome!" Xiao Se smiled and continued, "Consider the extra portion as food expenses!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chunfeng smiled and said, "Of course! My ship, aside from everything else, has the best food on the sea!"

Seeing this, Lei Wujie swallowed hard and asked, "What kind of delicacies are there? Sea cucumber and abalone?"

"There are so many delicacies from the sea! There are thousands of kinds of fish alone, and sea cucumbers and abalone... they're not even worthy of being served at a formal dinner table!" Mu Chunfeng said with a smile, "Come with me, everyone, and you'll see for yourselves!"

With that, he led Li Xiuyuan and his group onto the large ship.

Jinwei, who was not far away, watched Xiao Se board Mu Chunfeng's boat, frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "It seems that Prince Yong'an is not going to owe me this favor! Now, I'm a little confused about what Prince Yong'an is trying to do!"

"It's truly baffling!" A skilled individual nearby watched the large ship gradually leave the harbor and said, "If the Prince of Yong'an wants to return to Tianqi, the few of us would be his best allies. He should have taken the opportunity to recruit us. Such ruthlessness is truly incomprehensible!"

Suddenly, someone nearby said, "Could it be that Prince Yong'an has no intention of vying for the throne?"

Upon hearing this, the group of people stared at the person as if they were looking at a fool.

Don't want to fight for the throne?

What a joke!

Throughout history, countless instances of fathers and sons killing each other, and brothers killing each other, have all been for the sake of the throne!

Even if Xiao Se really didn't want it, once the White King and the Red King ascended to the throne, the first person they would kill was Xiao Se!

Nothing more than a threat to the throne!

Jinwei thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he said indifferently, "Forget it, let's go back! We'll just tell the Emperor the truth!"

After saying that, he led a group of people away from the harbor.

On the other side, the White King's carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.

Red King Xiao Yu slowly walked down from the restaurant, a confident yet mysterious smile on his face as he looked at White King Xiao Chong and said calmly, "Since you're here, please!"

Without any hesitation, Prince Xiao Chong got up, dismounted from the carriage, and slowly walked up to the restaurant.

After taking his seat, White King Xiao Chong was very direct and slowly said, "Red King, since you've summoned me, just say it! What do you plan to do?"

Red King Xiao Yu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea without hesitation.

He said calmly, "It's simple. The two of us working together can barely muster the strength to fight against Xiao Chuhe!"

"The two of us joining forces?" The White King lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "The two of us, at most two sword immortals, how could we possibly be a match for King Yong'an? Not to mention anything else, the Three Heroes of Lei Men, Li Hanyi, and the Mad Monk will definitely stand by King Yong'an's side—that's five sword immortals! Add to that Tang Clan and Snow Moon City, and King Yong'an… is already invincible!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Crimson King Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "Peerless City Lord, Wushuang, have you broken through to Sword Immortal?"

"I heard he drew that Great Ming Peacock Sword! Including the Wrathful Sword Immortal, you have at least two Sword Immortal-level warriors! And I happen to have two too! Four is enough to handle a lot of things!" (23sk.net)

Upon hearing this, King Xiao Chong of Bai was startled.

Just how much power does Xiao Yu possess?

When did a sword immortal appear?

Looking at the Crimson King Xiao Yu before him, Xiao Chong felt a chill run down his spine.

terrible!

Does Xiao Yu now have a sword immortal-level combatant in his hands?

How could he not have noticed at all?

Extremely shocked, White King Xiao Chong maintained a calm expression and said indifferently, "Four? That's more than enough! What are you going to do about it?"

"It's simple. Find an opportunity to kill Prince Yong'an!" The Crimson King Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, his face filled with murderous intent, and said softly, "You should know very well that if Prince Yong'an lives, we will have absolutely no chance of the throne!"

Xiao Chong had anticipated Xiao Yu's plan and had already guessed that Xiao Yu intended to kill Xiao Chuhe.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Since you're going to kill Xiao Se, then... you must have made quite a few preparations! Speak!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu immediately smiled.

He knew that Xiao Chong was tempted!

Without hesitation, he said to Xiao Chong, "Of the three heroes of the Lei family, one is in Snow Moon City, and the other two are with the Lei family! Xiao Se only has two by his side: the Mad Monk and Li Hanyi! The Furious Sword Immortal and the Lone Sword Immortal are enough to hold them off, and Wushuang and the sword immortal-level fighter I have will kill Xiao Se with ease!"

The White King's expression shifted slightly.

I must say, the Red King's suggestion was really tempting!

Finally, he sighed and asked, "When will we make our move?"

"The harbor, the time when the great ships return!" Red King Xiao Yu put down his teacup, stared at White King, and asked, "What do you think?"

“Okay! I’ll be there on time!” Xiao Chong nodded slightly, stood up, and left the restaurant.

At this moment, on the large ship.

After a seafood feast, Li Xiuyuan felt quite full. He took a sip of wine, went up to the deck, enjoyed the slightly salty sea breeze, and took another sip of wine.

Just as I was getting ready to go to sleep, I discovered that Xiao Se had also come out!

"Boss Xiao, you don't look too happy!" Li Xiuyuan took a sip of his drink, narrowed his eyes, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Speak up!"

Xiao Se looked at Li Xiuyuan, smiled and sighed, and said, "Crazy monk, I knew I couldn't hide it from you! Tell me, should I go back to Tianqi, or... should I not go back?"

"It's up to you to choose!" Li Xiuyuan maintained a nonchalant expression.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se looked at Li Xiuyuan and continued, "Crazy monk, tell me the truth, can you heal my hidden meridian damage?"

"Oh?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't answer directly, but asked somewhat strangely, "Boss Xiao, why are you asking this?"

"You didn't answer, so it seems you really can do it!" Xiao Se shook his head slightly. He knew that Li Xiuyuan never lied about important matters!

After a moment of silence, Xiao Se continued, "Mad Monk, you must have a deeper meaning in asking me to find Mo Yi! If I'm not mistaken, it's to bring Mo Yi, who's at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, back to Tianqi together?"

Hearing Xiao Se say this, Li Xiuyuan fell silent for a moment!

In fact, Xiao Se is right!

That's his plan!

Bringing Mo Yi from the Immortal Island to Tianqi is not difficult!

Seeing Li Xiuyuan remain silent, Xiao Se sighed and said, "Mad monk, do you also want me to ascend the throne?"

“That’s not what I meant!” Li Xiuyuan finally spoke. He looked at Xiao Se and said slowly, “Actually, I just didn’t want to interfere too much with fate, and I also wanted to take a break! Boss Xiao, you’re overthinking it!”

Xiao Se thought for a moment and said, "Since you've said so, Mad Monk, I'll believe you for now!"

"That's more like it!" Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine, feeling a surge of emotion. Looking at Xiao Se, he smiled and said, "Monk, I've heard a poem written by a fellow named Su Shi. Would you like to hear it?"

Xiao Se was taken aback, then nodded and asked, "What poems?"

"We are but mayflies in the vastness of heaven and earth, a mere grain of millet in the boundless ocean. I lament the brevity of my life, and envy the endless flow of the Yangtze River. I long to ride the immortals and roam the heavens, and embrace the bright moon for eternity." Li Xiuyuan slowly recited the few lines of poetry he remembered, and said slowly, "I don't remember the whole poem anymore. These few lines are the few poems I can recall!"

"That's enough!" Xiao Se exclaimed to Li Xiuyuan with amazement. "I was a little hesitant at first, but now I know what to choose! A mere throne is not worth abandoning the martial world for!"

Li Xiuyuan turned to look at Xiao Se and slowly said, "Boss Xiao, are you really not going to regret this?"

"I've made up my mind!" Xiao Se smiled, put his hands behind his back, looked at the bright moon slowly rising above the sea, turned to look at Li Xiuyuan, and said, "Crazy monk, are you quite afraid that I will become emperor?"

Li Xiuyuan was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.

Xiao Se has a really sharp sense of things.

He thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I am indeed quite worried about the monk!"

"Why?" Xiao Se asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s very simple. A good person can’t be emperor!” Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “If you want to maintain imperial power, the first person you have to kill is the Red King, followed by the White King, and then anyone who threatens your imperial power! In this process, people will slowly change and be assimilated into the imperial power. The current emperor killed the Prince of Langya for this reason, even though… they were friends!”

"I never expected the mad monk to have such insight!" Xiao Se turned his head, looked at the bright moon on the sea, and said with a smile, "When I return from Tianqi City, there will be no more Prince Yong'an Xiao Chuhe in this world, only Xiao Se!"

Sikong Qianluo suddenly appeared out of nowhere, slapped Xiao Se on the shoulder, and said, "That's more like it! What's the point of being emperor! Let's roam the world together!"

Just as Xiao Se was about to agree, Li Xiuyuan said from the side, "Qianluo, you can't say that. Being the emperor... that means having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines..."

Xiao Se glared angrily at Li Xiuyuan. Quick-witted, he immediately retorted, "Crazy monk, are you still dreaming of having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines?"

"Of course not?" Li Xiuyuan blinked, looking completely innocent. "What I mean is, Boss Xiao, you gave up all the beautiful women in the world, only taking one sip from Qianluo... tsk tsk!"

Sikong Qianluo was taken aback and blushed slightly.

His initial heroic spirit vanished; he kicked Xiao Se and ran away!

Xiao Se glared angrily at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Crazy monk, you've ruined the perfect atmosphere!"

"What do I have to do with monks?" Li Xiuyuan was speechless!

……

Time flies, and seven days have passed. Suddenly, the large ship bathed in spring breeze came to a stop!

Li Xiuyuan, who was originally sitting on the large ship, looked ahead and saw a small island appearing and disappearing in the distance!

Lei Wujie looked at the small island and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, is that the overseas immortal island you mentioned? Are there really immortals living overseas?"

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "That's right, it's that island!"

Tang Lian crossed her arms, looked at Mu Chunfeng, and asked with a smile, "Why aren't we moving forward? We're still at least ten miles away from that island!"

“You don’t know this!” Mu Chunfeng sighed and said, “This stretch of sea looks calm, but it actually has many hidden reefs and currents! A slight mistake could cause a ship to run aground and sink! Look over there…”

As he spoke, Mu Chunfeng pointed to a stretch of sea!

Tang Lian looked in the direction Mu Chunfeng pointed, and sure enough, the wreckage of several sunken ships was faintly visible in the shallow sea!

"In that case, let's just walk over there!" Li Hanyi looked around and said calmly, "With your lightness skills, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get there!"

Tang Lian nodded and said, "That's true!"

Mu Chunfeng stared at Li Hanyi and Tang Lian, speechless with astonishment.

Walking across ten miles of sea using light footwork is something that at least someone at the Free Realm level could do, right?

Thinking of this, Mu Chunfeng's mood suddenly improved!
