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

Chapter 26 The Feared White-Haired Immortal! What is your choice?

"Wow! I never expected someone would actually pay for me, the monk! Thank you so much, kind person!"

Li Xiuyuan turned around and guessed the identity of the person in front of him the instant he saw him.

However, it can be seen that there was no unusual expression on his face at this moment.

He still had the same carefree grin, and his expressions and gestures were still extremely exaggerated.

"But speaking of which, monk, you've ordered way more wine than you'd like!"

"I've bought not only the drinks for today, but also all the wine and spirits we'll need on the way to Biluo City!"

"Kind sir, do you have enough money with you?"

Li Xiuyuan asked with a smile.

"Hehe, you're joking, sir. I can afford this little bit of money. Boss... let's go to the bar!"

Mo Qixuan smiled slightly upon hearing this. His attitude towards this seemingly mad monk was not as cold as his attitude towards others. Or rather, his personality was that of someone who was relatively easy to talk to. Of course, this ease of talking to was only relative.

He will be a ruthless executioner to those who are clearly his enemies.

When dealing with those of lower status or younger generations, he is a cold-faced, white-haired immortal.

However, when facing a peer with exceptional strength, or someone he himself cannot understand, he will reveal his true personality, just as he is doing now.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you in advance. It's not that I'm trying to rip you off, it's just that this is a beauty resort, so the drinks are relatively expensive."

"I calculated that the wine ordered by the chef just now totaled about 102.8 taels."

"How about I round it down to one hundred taels?"

While packing the wine, the boss, following Li Xiuyuan's initial request, poured the largest quantity of the same type of wine, meant for snacking on while traveling, into the gourd. Hmm, although he didn't know why this wine gourd, which looked small, could hold so much wine!

But this boss is just an ordinary person. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply unbelievable that a person can break a stone!

So he didn't think much about it or ask any questions. As long as it didn't overflow, he continued to fill it until it was all turned!

Later, after he finished loading the majority of the drinks, which were meant to satisfy his cravings.

Holding a blocked gourd of wine in one hand and two small jars of other wine in the other, he walked up to Li Xiuyuan and handed them to him.

Seeing this, the white-haired immortal didn't say anything. He casually tossed a small gold ingot out, which was caught by the shopkeeper.

Judging by the weight of those gold ingots, they would probably be worth more than silver!

"Oh dear, this kind benefactor has really gone to great lengths. I feel so embarrassed."

"Then I, the monk, shall go back to my companions first?"

As Li Xiuyuan spoke, he prepared to walk towards Xiao Se.

But just as he took a step, an arm suddenly stretched out and blocked his way.

It's Mo Qixuan!

"Sir, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

"I also have some questions for you, Master. How about we go over there for a couple of drinks and have a chat?"

Pointing in one direction.

Mo Qixuan's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was still gentle, but the meaning behind it was one that left no room for refusal.

"Well, alright. Since I, a monk, have been treated to a drink by a kind benefactor, how could I refuse such a small request?"

"Oh dear! Speaking of which, I'm feeling a bit craving myself. Opening a jar to rinse my mouth first wouldn't be a bad idea!"

Li Xiuyuan seemed not to hear the undeniable refusal in the other person's tone.

Or rather, this is something that cannot be refused, which is indeed somewhat one-sided.

If he really wants to leave...

There is absolutely no way that Mo Qixuan alone could stop them.

"Thank you so much, sir. Please come this way."

Mo Qixuan made a pointing gesture, and Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate at all. He sat down in the spot the other party pointed to!

Collapse~

Li Xiuyuan opened the wine jar, and as the aroma of the wine wafted out, he smacked his lips and his saliva production increased.

"Gurgle gurgle... Ha!"

"That felt so good... Oh! Monk, I forgot, you also said you wanted to drink with me, sorry!"

Li Xiuyuan spoke as if he were not faking it.

Mo Qixuan was not annoyed by this. He picked up the teacup on the table, held it up to his eyes, and said.

"It's alright, I can drink tea too."

"Well... actually, I called you here mainly because I have two questions to ask you. I wonder if you could answer them?"

Li Xiuyuan replied, "Please feel free to ask, benefactor. As for whether I will tell you or not... that depends on whether I know or want to tell you."

"You mad monk!"

Hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, a minor character who had been standing by the table all along, now spoke up angrily after Mo Qixuan.

"Hey! It's alright!"

Mo Qixuan waved his hand to stop his subordinate from speaking, and then looked at Li Xiuyuan with a serious expression.

"Since this master speaks frankly, then I, Mo Qixuan, will not hold back either!"

“I know that you, Master, are with Tang Lian, who escorted the golden coffin, but I have never seen you in Snow Moon City.”

"So, I dare to guess that Master must have boarded the train halfway through the journey and had only known Tang Lian for a short time?"

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this and continued drinking.

"Alright! Since you two are not related and it's just a request for a ride..."

"Then I would like to ask you, Master, if we do not harm the other party's life, please do not interfere with us, okay?"

"Master, you may not know much about what's inside that golden coffin, but all I can say is that it belongs to us!"

"So... I wonder what Master thinks of my request?"

Mo Qixuan slowly revealed his purpose.

"Um... let's not talk about your request for now. Monk, I have a question that I'm quite curious about."

"There were four of us in total, and apart from Tang Lian, who was almost impossible to persuade."

"Why didn't you go to someone else, but instead chose to come to me, a monk?"

"No matter how you look at it, I'm just a crazy monk who only knows how to eat meat and drink alcohol, right?"

While pouring his drink, Li Xiuyuan asked casually.

"Hehe, Master is joking. If you were really just a drunken monk who doesn't know martial arts, why would I go to all this trouble?"

"Although I don't know who my master is, he has a good eye for judging a person's strength!"

Upon hearing Mo Qixuan's words, Li Xiuyuan stopped drinking and asked a question with a smile.

"Oh? Then, in your eyes, how do you perceive my abilities?"

"Unfathomable!"

Mo Qixuan answered very seriously.

Yes, Li Xiuyuan gave Mo Qixuan the feeling of being unfathomable!

To be honest, when he first noticed Li Xiuyuan, his initial impression was similar to that of the extra behind him—he thought Li Xiuyuan was just a crazy monk and didn't take him seriously.

However, later, when he discovered that Tang Lian, who should have been the most skilled among the four of them, was surprisingly respectful towards this mad monk!

This made Mo Qixuan very curious at the time.

So for the first time, he had the idea of ​​testing Li Xiuyuan!

But... he failed!

He couldn't sense anything from Li Xiuyuan!

Is it because he is an ordinary person?

Do not!

For ordinary people, it should be even more concise and clear!

But with Li Xiuyuan, it was as if he was shrouded in layers of mist, making it impossible for Li Xiuyuan to discern his true nature!

What made him even more wary was when he wanted to draw his sword to test his opponent.

The Cloud Dragon Sword in his hand actually began to tremble!

Famous swords possess a spirit, yet they are more pure than people!

He couldn't sense Li Xiuyuan's true strength, but he could feel the terror emanating from his sword!

Although this wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation, back when the Demonic Sect launched its eastern expedition, his sword had reacted similarly to both Ye Dingzhi in his demonic state and Baili Dongjun after his cultivation.

But look at who Ye Dingzhi and Baili Dongjun are!

Having similarities with them is itself a great testament to one's abilities, isn't it?

Also, to avoid causing more trouble, even though he wasn't afraid of Li Xiuyuan, the other party hadn't officially revealed his strength, otherwise he wouldn't have shown any so-called irresistible attitude at the beginning.

But he still didn't want to face those who had already proven their strength more than a decade ago!

If this commotion gets out of hand, how can those guys not come?

So, the scene that just happened occurred when someone saw that Li Xiuyuan had no money to buy wine, and took the initiative to go up to him and start a conversation.

"Sir, what is your choice?"
