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

He knew that Red King Xiao Yu was revealing his true intentions, and because of various suspicions, he was preparing to take action.

But look at him now, is there even a hint of panic in his heart?

Ahem, monks don't lie. With his sheep-man crew... they can't touch him at all.

But...

Xiao Yu, you value the monk so much that you've gathered so many people to surround him. The monk is very pleased.

But the monk doesn't like your attitude!

If you want to win me over, then go ahead. If you put on a big feast and serve me well, even though he definitely won't agree, well... cough cough, anyway, it's better than the current situation!

Look at us now, we didn't get to drink the wine or eat the meat!

You want me to fight with you again, monk? I don't have the strength, I don't even want to fight!

Well, in short, based on what happened today, you probably won't be able to resolve it without at least ten jars of Qiu Lu Bai liquor!

Thinking this, Li Xiuyuan continued to feign ignorance and spoke.

"By the way, Benefactor Xiao, didn't you say you had some treasure on you that you wanted to give to these bandits in order to ransom yourself and that little idiot?"

"Now that everyone's here, hurry up and get your stuff out, or that little blockhead will drink all the wine!"

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was completely unaware of his situation, Xiao Yu didn't know if he had really gone mad or was just feeling emboldened.

"Fine, you mad monk, you like to play the madman, huh... Get him! Didn't he want to drink?"

"When the time comes, I'll catch him, tie him up, and make him soak in a wine barrel every day so he can drink his fill of 'penalty wine'!"

At the command of the Crimson King Xiao Yu, whose face was grim, hundreds of bandits rushed towards Li Xiuyuan!

Fortunately, the venue was large enough, and they had practiced their teamwork beforehand. One person would go up and another would go up. Even though there were more than a hundred people fighting against one, it didn't feel crowded, and there were no mistakes.

In this situation, logically speaking, most people would think of using their internal energy to create an opening so that they have enough room to maneuver.

Once this open space is opened up, it will be incredibly convenient for both escaping and preparing a decisive move to clear the area.

But Li Xiuyuan was different. Facing the bandits' attack, he neither defended nor attacked. He just wandered around in a haphazard manner, looking as if he had been drinking fake alcohol!

Well, as an observer like Xiao Yu, he couldn't see anything, he just thought those bandits might be useless.

The opponent is so slow, why hasn't anyone managed to launch a single effective attack?

In fact, that was exactly what Xiao Yu thought.

His face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.

Every time he saw the blade "brush past" Li Xiuyuan, almost hitting him but ultimately missing, he almost couldn't help but curse out loud!

If it weren't for his status and his considerable fear of Daoji, he would have wanted to go and do it himself!

"These are the 'soldiers' you trained, the ones who will be of use to me in the future?"

"Is this how you train them?"

In the end, Xiao Yu did not get angry at those below who were at least risking their lives, but instead turned his anger on the leader standing to the side.

But perhaps it was precisely because he didn't vent his negative emotions on the bandits below that they would have mentally collapsed, given their bitter hearts and inability to attack the monk in front of them.

If you're so capable, then go for it. Otherwise, don't bother comparing yourself to others.

"This, young master... this subordinate doesn't know either. Could it be due to the mad monk's movement technique?"

"Perhaps the opponent is using a sophisticated movement technique, which just appears ordinary to us?"

The leader who was being scolded guessed this.

It was because of this possibility mentioned by the other party that Xiao Yu's mind gradually calmed down.

Yes, he had witnessed the mad monk's "movement technique" before. Back in the dungeon, the monk seemed to teleport, appearing right in front of him instantly.

He was, after all, a martial artist at the Free Realm, second only to Xiao Se in the entire Xiao royal family. Yet, despite his cultivation level and his research and understanding of various martial arts, he still couldn't detect a trace of Li Xiuyuan's movement technique.

In that case, it seems understandable that even when the henchmen ganged up on the enemy, they couldn't hit them.

"I refuse to believe that this mad monk can use such a level of movement technique without expending any internal energy!"

"Once his internal energy is completely depleted, let's see how he can still cause trouble!"

At this point, Crimson King Xiao Yu's previously gloomy expression gradually brightened.

However, it was at this moment that his hearing suddenly picked up the sound of a wine vat smashing on the floor in the room next to him, which was specially designated for his rest, and his brows furrowed once again.

"Why would I hear the sound of a wine vat falling from my room? Are there still people who are afraid of death and haven't gathered here?"

"Or perhaps you didn't hear my order clearly? Didn't I tell you to gather everyone together?"

Red King Xiao Yu questioned the three leaders with a grim expression, but not only him, the three leaders were also completely bewildered. They had indeed followed Xiao Yu's orders to gather all the bandits and come here together.

Could it really be as the other party said, that their gang, which is supposed to be the most ruthless bandit group in the Western Regions, has produced such a cowardly coward?

"Reporting to your Excellency, I have indeed gathered all the personnel here!"

The bandit leaders exchanged glances, then spoke frankly to Xiao Yu.

"Then how do you explain my room... wait!"

As Xiao Yu spoke, a bad premonition and suspicion suddenly welled up in his heart!

To verify this guess, Xiao Yu pushed aside several leaders and strode towards his house. He opened the wooden door and lifted the curtain.

Crimson King Xiao Yu saw a guy wearing tattered monk's robes, chugging his Autumn Dew White wine in one hand and holding a fan in the other, propping his thigh up, sitting in his seat!

Who else could it be but that mad monk?

"It's you! How is this possible?"

Because the curtain of the room was lifted, Red King Xiao Yu could now see Li Xiuyuan drinking loudly in front of him, and if he turned around, he could also see a group of people outside besieging a guy who looked exactly the same!

What... what kind of martial art is this?

Shouldn't the concept of a clone be something imagined by a group of idle people in folk tales?

(This refers to the author himself.)

"Oh dear! Isn't this Benefactor Xiao?"

"I'm so sorry, monk. I was a little tipsy just now and accidentally broke your pot of fine wine!"

"Don't feel sorry for me, because I feel even more sorry for you! I have already repented, and I am indeed feeling very sad right now!"

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan let out a hiccup, his face clearly showing only satisfaction, not remorse or distress...

It was completely imperceptible to anyone!

and also!

This is his wine! Why are you so upset about it?

As a prince, Xiao Yu wasn't reluctant to part with just a pot of Autumn Dew White wine.

What truly made him look grim was the attitude and actions of the mad monk in front of him!

Is this guy treating them like monkeys?

"Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose?"

"Don't think you're so great just because you're skilled in martial arts. There are plenty of people in this world who are stronger than you!"

Now, Crimson King Xiao Yu was finally willing to negotiate with Li Xiuyuan in a calm and peaceful manner.

Well, it's supposed to be forced calmness...

"Huh? Who am I, monk? And what is my purpose?"

"If I had to say, I'm just here to rescue that little fool and, incidentally, to ask Benefactor Xiao for a few jars of wine."

"But who knew that Benefactor Xiao would deceive me! Deceive me!"

"And you even sent so many people to surround me!"

"Alas, I, the monk, am filled with grief. I just want to get drunk to numb myself and forget the filth in this world!"

Li Xiuyuan's expression was as exaggerated as ever. While speaking, he took a swig of wine and made a tearful face.

Damn it, this move of his has completely stumped Xiao Yu.

What the hell? You're telling me that this drunken bastard is a powerful expert in the Free and Unfettered Realm, or even the Great Free and Unfettered Realm?

Is it possible for someone in this world to become stronger just by drinking alcohol?

Red King Xiao Yu naturally did not believe what Li Xiuyuan said, but the situation was beyond his control. Although he was arrogant, he had to be allowed to be arrogant in Tianqi City with his godfather by his side!

Putting everything else aside, with his godfather's strength, even ten guys like him who could fight the White-Haired Immortal for so long would be nothing more than easy targets who could be taken down in a single move!

However, his godfather is not by his side now. The only person he used to think was alright, after all, he was a master of the Carefree Heaven Realm, but now he seems to be a completely useless leader in critical moments!

How could he dare to confront Li Xiuyuan head-on again?

"Hmph, I'll just believe what you monk have to say for now!"

"Since you said you came here to drink and save someone, then you've drunk the wine, and you'll take the person with you later!"

"So, you'll leave now? You're not welcome here!"

Although he kept telling himself that the other party was very strong and that he was currently at a disadvantage, that was just his personality, and he was not so easy to back down!

"Leave? Benefactor Xiao, you've deceived my feelings and then surrounded me with your men."

"You think you can just end it like this?"

Li Xiuyuan slowly stood up from his seat. This single action prompted a reaction from Xiao Yu, who had been on high alert.

"Then what do you want?"

"Or are you finally going to reveal your true purpose after hiding it for so long?"

Xiao Yu slowly retreated, fearing that the mad monk in front of him would suddenly attack and take him hostage to achieve his true purpose.

but……

"You need to pay more!"

"??"

"I'm telling you, monk, we need to pay more! No, we need to add more wine. This matter can't be settled without ten jars of Autumn Dew!"
