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

As Xiao Se spoke, he pulled a flat wine pouch from his pocket.

He bought this specifically when he arrived at Sangu City and settled Lei Wujie and the golden coffin.

It cost him a lot of money!

The reason he used this wine bag instead of buying it in a wine jar and putting it on the carriage is obvious, isn't it?

"Wow! Xiao Se, you're so thoughtful! You even have wine! But there aren't any cups here, how are we going to drink together?"

Seeing Xiao Se pull out a wine bag, open the lid, and release a rich aroma of wine, Lei Wujie's eyes filled with longing!

I couldn't help but swallow hard.

"What, you're looking down on me?"

"Are you going to drink it or not? If not, I'll drink it myself. I'm sure you still have cultivation to rely on, and you've even practiced the Thunder Gate Fire Scorching Technique."

"They shouldn't be afraid of the cold, right?"

As he said this, Xiao Se was about to take back the wine bag he had handed over.

Seeing this, Lei Wujie thought to himself, "How can I let the duck that's already in my mouth fly away?"

He immediately snatched the wine bag from Xiao Se and said with a forced smile.

"Hehe, how could that be? I was just afraid you'd dislike me. But since you've said so, I'll just drink it!"

After Lei Wujie finished speaking, he took a sip of wine without any hesitation. Feeling the "fiery" surge into his body, he felt instantly satisfied!

"Cool!!"

"But drinking alone isn't fun; it has to be eaten with meat!"

Lei Wujie loudly expressed his thoughts, unaware that Xiao Se was still looking at him with a slight smile.

"Did you drink this wine? Was it good?"

"Um...delicious! This is the only liquor in my mind that can rival Laozao Shao!"

Lei Wujie hadn't yet grasped the seriousness of the situation and was still laughing and joking.

"As long as it tastes good! One hundred taels! You now owe me six hundred taels, remember that!"

Xiao Se uttered these icy words from his mouth, which was 37.2 degrees Celsius.

Lei Wujie exploded!

"What the hell! How can you do business like this? Is your wine made of gold? Just this little bit, and you're charging a hundred taels?!"

"You're obsessed with money!"

"Besides, you treated me to this drink, why should I have to pay for it!"

Lei Wujie angrily denounced Xiao Se's unscrupulous business practices.

"Ha, aren't all businessmen obsessed with money? I'm no exception."

Do you know why rice is more expensive during famine years? Do you know what it means for things to be scarce to be valuable?

"This wine, although it was only ten ounces when I bought it, is it normal for the price to have increased now due to the different circumstances?"

"As for inviting you for drinks... I only asked if you wanted to drink, I never said I was going to treat you!"

Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly!

Lei Wujie was speechless after Xiao Se's words. Although he knew he was at a loss, since the money had already been factored in, he was determined to savor the bag of wine and not leave a single drop for Xiao Se!

Lei Wujie snorted angrily, then slammed the lid shut again, tilted his head back, and suffocated!

But this time it was strange that he could clearly feel his wine bag deflated, but why didn't a single drop of wine fall into his mouth?

Lei Wujie opened his eyes in surprise and looked around. Xiao Se, who was standing next to him, also noticed that the wine in the wine bag had not flowed out, but had simply turned into water and flowed to the tree branch behind Lei Wujie!

"Who goes there!"

Wuxin, being the bystander, reacted the fastest and immediately noticed that there was a fourth person on the tree branch!

Fearing that someone was coming to arrest him, he suddenly flicked his sleeve and unleashed a powerful burst of internal energy that struck the tree branch!

Late stage of the Free and Unfettered Realm! Or even the peak of the Free and Unfettered Realm!

This Wuxin, at such a young age, has actually reached this point. His talent is not much different from that of the number one genius of Beili Kingdom back then!

The person on the tree branch, however, didn't react at all, even though the attack was right in front of them. Why does this habit seem so familiar?

Xiao Se thought to himself.

"Well, you dare to steal wine! I, Lei Wujie, spent a hundred taels of silver to buy this!"

"You filthy thief, once I catch you, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget, and then I'll make you pay me back!"

"I'll pay you... six hundred taels!"

As he spoke, Lei Wujie also used the Fire Scorching Technique. The Garuda Dharma Image behind him appeared and disappeared. But at this moment, the guy who hadn't made a sound when facing the attack, but suddenly reacted after he finished speaking, took a step forward and was already behind him in the blink of an eye. He used something unknown to slap his hat down!

Oh! That damnably familiar feeling!

Lei Wujie suddenly thought of a certain figure, a figure who always loved to put hats on him!

"You little blockhead! You haven't learned anything else, but you've learned all the tricks of a swindler, haven't you?"

"Still a stinking thief? Still six hundred taels?"

"I'll teach you a lesson you filthy thief! I'll give you six hundred taels!"

Oh! Now even a familiar voice appeared in Lei Wujie's ears. The person who blocked the shot without saying a word immediately made Lei Wujie recognize the person!

Wuxin, who was standing to the side, also saw this scene. He was initially shocked that the figure's lightness skill was even faster than his "Flying Waves Divine Skill". He thought that a tough battle was about to begin. However, after seeing that the other party had not harmed Lei Wujie, his vigilance lessened by a bit, but... he still did not completely relax!

After all, he couldn't guarantee that just because this person had a good relationship with Lei Wujie, he would definitely be able to get along well with him!

"Ouch! What are you doing?!"

"Daoji! Why did you hit me the moment we met? I didn't know it was you!"

"Besides, this is wine that I bought for a hundred taels of silver. You drank it without even saying goodbye. Of course I'll feel bad!"

As Lei Wujie spoke, he quickly ran back to Xiao Se's side and hid behind him. After all... in his memory, Li Xiuyuan had never treated Xiao Se like this before.

"So this is Master Daoji."

"Just as that senior brother Tang Lian said, he really is an unkempt and capricious person."

"I had no intention of doing this. I have met Master Daoji. Please forgive me for my rudeness earlier."

Before Li Xiuyuan could reply to Lei Wujie, Wuxin walked over and performed a Buddhist salute.

Yes, it was certainly not a good choice for someone of his sensitive status to rashly associate with a powerful figure from the Northern Li Kingdom who was at least at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.

However, in order to figure out the other party's thoughts as soon as possible, Wuxin had no choice but to take the initiative.

"Huh? I didn't expect to meet a fellow traveler in this desolate wilderness! Hehe, interesting, interesting. Hello, fellow traveler!"

Upon seeing Wuxin approach, Li Xiuyuan feigned surprise and then inquired about his background.

After Lei Wujie's explanation, Li Xiuyuan finally showed a look of sudden realization.

"So that's how it is! I was wondering what was inside that golden coffin. Turns out it was a person!"

Listening to Li Xiuyuan's mutterings, Wuxin expressed that he did not believe it.

After all, all of his expressions were too exaggerated. If you didn't spend some time with him, you'd probably think he was faking it.

"Hehe, Master Daoji said he only just found out, so he must have just found out."

"But now that Master Daoji knows everything, I have no desire to ask. Are you going to take me back?"

The moment Wu Xin uttered those words, the room fell silent.

Especially after sensing the surging internal energy within Wuxin's body, Lei Wujie became even more aware of the tense atmosphere that was about to escalate.

"What? Arrest me? Monk, why would I arrest you? I'm with those two, escorting the golden coffin isn't my mission."

"I was just on my way to a place when I smelled the aroma of wine and meat as I passed by."

"So I, the monk, ran over here, and then I ran into this silly boy, and drank his wine!"

"Hey, where are you taking these two? They might even be going the same way as me! Want to come along?"

Having heard the first half of Li Xiuyuan's sentence, and seeing that the other party indeed showed no signs of making a move, Wuxin's vigilance lessened considerably.

But as the other person said the second half of their sentence, Wuxin's brows furrowed once again.

"Where is Master Daoji headed?"

He asked tentatively, without any intention of probing.

"Me? This monk wants to go to Master Yu's place, to the Great Brahma Sound Temple!"

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Wuxin's brows furrowed even deeper!

What a coincidence!

"Oh? Then it seems we really are on the same path."

"In that case, may I be so bold as to ask, Master Daoji, what is the purpose of your visit to the Great Brahma Temple?"

Wuxin readily admitted to being on the same path, but still tentatively asked Li Xiuyuan a question.

And it was precisely when he asked this question that Li Xiuyuan's expression turned serious, a rare occurrence!

"This humble monk is going on this journey to... guide one person to Buddhahood!"

Chapter 39 Ruofeng, will you keep your promise this time?

"Your Majesty, news has come from Sangu City that the White-Haired Immortal from Beyond the Heavens has appeared in the Central Plains and is engaged in battle with people in the Beauty Manor."

"According to insiders, the battle was fierce and the entire Beauty Manor was destroyed in the clash of their internal energies."

"Upon learning of this news, I rushed here to report to His Majesty immediately."

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Imperial City of Tianqi.

A figure dressed in a purple python robe and wearing a crown, with a face that was feminine yet possessed a unique beauty, slowly walked in.
