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

Not even as good as the Nine Dragons Gate, not even as good as the Great Awakening Sect Master who has fallen into demonic possession?

Well... okay, if you only look at their disciples, they really can't compare to the Nine Dragons Sect, who are at least sect leaders and elders.

But among their group, there's one more trump card!

That's right, it was Wushuang who received guidance from the White-Haired Immortal, had an epiphany after returning, and whose strength improved even further!

That person is recognized by the Peerless Sword Box, and his own strength has reached the late stage of the Freedom Realm at this age!

Looking back at the original story, that kid, with his strength at the mid-stage of the Free and Easy Realm, was able to use the Peerless Sword Box and comprehend the Six Paths Technique to fight back against the injured Wuxin, who had returned to the peak of the Free and Easy Realm!

Now that he has broken through to the late stage of the Free and Easy Realm, if Wuxin is still the same Wuxin from the original work, even at his peak, with the blessing of the Peerless Sword Box, he would probably be suppressed for a short time!

"Hey, you in the blue clothes, are you looking down on my Wushuang City?"

"Come on, send anyone to fight me. I want to see just how confident you are in saying such things!"

A youthful and somewhat immature voice slowly drifted in from the horizon.

A dull thud as something heavy fell to the ground was heard, and a real boy, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, slowly revealed himself. He was wearing a plain yellow robe, and on his back was a huge, almost life-sized sword box that looked quite old.

Unsurprisingly, this person was none other than Wushuang!

Speaking of this sometimes sharp-tongued young man, you might think he's arrogant, proud, and cocky.

However, the only thing he truly cherished was his master and the city of Wushuang.

He longed for freedom and only wanted to practice swordsmanship.

However, after learning of his master Song Yan's expectations of him, he still chose to become the lord of Wushuang City and dedicated himself to restoring Wushuang City's former reputation as "unparalleled in the world".

And it was precisely this kind of person who naturally couldn't stand Xiao Se's words, which were clearly tinged with contempt and ambiguity!

Even if what Xiao Se originally meant was simply that Wushuang City hadn't arrived much earlier than Tang Lian, and there hadn't been any conflict, then naturally there wouldn't be any danger...

Of course, although Xiao Se is now a commoner, he was once the Prince of Yong'an.

He would only speak up to explain when he was afraid that his friends might misunderstand something.

But when it comes to someone like Wushuang, who seems quite arrogant, his assessment is: interpret it however you want!

"Oh? Are you sure you want us to send in any random person, instead of specifically targeting someone like me who doesn't know martial arts?"

Xiao Se responded with a calm expression.

"You don't know martial arts? Heh! You really do. What are you doing here if you don't know martial arts?"

"Okay, although what I just said wasn't a lie, and I didn't mean to target you, I still have to explain something."

"I would never bully someone like you who has no martial arts skills!"

"But judging from your appearance... could it be that there are some experts in your team?"

After hearing Xiao Se's words, Wu Shuang carefully examined Xiao Se and found that he really had no martial arts skills. At first, a look of disinterest appeared on his face, but then, recalling that the other party seemed to be somewhat fearless, his interest was aroused again!

"Wushuang, we're here on a mission, not for you to play around and have fun!"

Seeing Wushuang's expression, Lu Yuzhai's face was full of helplessness.

But what Wushuang said next made a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute it, which was very annoying!

"But senior brother, if our mission is to kidnap someone, their accomplices will definitely disagree, right?"

"Didn't you see that the Kowloon Gate members all left disappointed?"

"So, we'll have to face the strong players in the opposing team sooner or later, right? There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, is there?"

With an innocent face, Wushuang spoke logically and with evidence.

Lu Yuzhai was speechless upon seeing this, so he simply turned his head away and ignored the guy.

"Hehe! That's right, let's get back to the main topic."

"Hey you in the blue shirt, do you have a pro in your team? Why don't you step forward and fight me?"

"If I win, you will have to apologize to Wushuang City and hand over the people we want."

"If I lose..."

"Hehe, since I didn't sense any danger here, I don't think that possibility is very high."

Don't let our innocent-looking young Wushuang fool you; he's got a whole repertoire of tricks up his sleeve.

Of course, it's also possible that his mind is completely focused on fighting against experts, leaving no room to think about the potential benefits of defeat!

Even the things he needed to get after winning were exactly what his senior brother had done!

"Hehe, what a spirited young fellow you are, living up to your peerless name."

"Also, let me emphasize that I am not some guy in blue clothes, my name is Xiao Se."

"Of course, it's just a very ordinary name. You may not have heard of it or remember it, but that's okay."

"But next, you must remember the great name of this expert in our team!"

Forget it, this bet is invalid. Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn't accept it. He's used plenty of tricks to get something for nothing, but in his mind, he's the only one who can get something for nothing from others. Others can't do the same to him, and he won't accept it.

But now... in order to give that crazy monk something to do, and because of his incurable fetish of not being able to bear seeing Li Xiuyuan lying comfortably.

He decisively accepted Wushuang's offer of getting something for nothing!

"Come on, this is the best player in our team. I've also accepted your bet. If you can beat him, we can talk about anything!"

As Xiao Se spoke, he stepped aside, exposing Dao Ji behind him to Wushuang City's view.

This ragged fellow truly didn't care about his appearance at all. He sat directly on the dusty ground, using one hand to scratch his back with a fan and the other to rub the mud off his chest.

Even the smiling expression on his face revealed his pleasant mood while watching the show!

This……

Some people who knew him didn't say anything, but at least the new disciples that Lu Yuzhai brought found it amusing. No, what kind of expert could a guy like that be?

Even if he's ranked fifth, that's already pretty impressive, right?

"Senior Brother, I think they've run out of tricks. They've put forward this guy to mess with us. Why don't we just let Junior Brother..."

One person stepped out from the encirclement formed by the disciples of Wushuang City.

I don't know if it was to claim credit or if he genuinely wanted to take the lead and test the waters of the other side.

He had barely uttered his words when he saw the solemn expression on the face of his senior brother beside him.

"It's you? You're one of them too?"

As the disciples beside him could see, when their senior brother focused his gaze on the mad monk directly in front of him, the monk's expression was not good, and even his voice became a few degrees lower.

Wushuang, who was standing to the side, didn't react at first; his mind was never clear.

In addition, he had received guidance from the White-Haired Immortal, and after returning home, his mind was full of insights, which he absorbed.

Naturally, he couldn't recall when this mad monk had met his senior brother.

"Senior brother, who is that slovenly guy? Why do you look so pale?"

"Is he really that strong? Hehe, I love fighting strong people!"

Upon hearing what Wushuang said, Lu Yuzhai's previously solemn expression suddenly turned serious, with several dark lines appearing on his face.

"Heavens! Are we really going to entrust the future of Wushuang City for the next hundred years to such a forgetful idiot?"

Of course, these were just Lu Yuzhai's inner thoughts; he didn't really think that way, so naturally he wouldn't say them out loud.

Even though he was internally complaining, he still had to patiently explain things to Wushuang when faced with his question.

"Wushuang, think about it carefully again. You saw him before, at the Beauty Manor in Sangu City!"

"Oh right, there's also the White-Haired Immortal. When we saw him, he was sitting at the same table as the White-Haired Immortal."

"Back then, I even let you sense his presence, and you said he seemed like an ordinary person!"

After Lu Yuzhai's reminder, Wushuang finally found the impression that Li Xiuyuan had left on him in his mind.

"Oh, oh, oh! I remember now, he was the crazy monk sitting across from that white-haired uncle!"

"So, does that mean he's really powerful?"

Lu Yuzhai didn't notice Wushuang's increasingly excited expression. After Wushuang recalled the other person's figure, he continued to speak with a solemn expression.

"Well, except in very rare cases, strong people generally only communicate with other strong people, let alone the white-haired immortal who is from the Outer Heavens."

"He has been barred from entering the country for twelve years under the agreement to lock the mountains and rivers, yet this mad monk is able to sit at the same table with him."

"They definitely have some skill!"

"Wushuang, you absolutely mustn't act rashly, ah!"

Before Lu Yuzhai could finish speaking, he felt a cool breeze pass by him.

Suddenly, Wushuang, who had been sitting lazily on the stone stool behind him, suddenly leaped out and appeared opposite the mad monk.

"Hey monk, I remember you now. You haven't forgotten me, have you?"

"Wait, it seems we didn't have any formal contact back then? No problem, let's get to know each other again!"

"My name is Wushuang, the Wushuang of unparalleled beauty, and your name... hehe, I've heard you're very strong, how about we have a match!"

"If you are truly strong, I will always remember your name; otherwise, even if I know it now, I will forget it!"

Wushuang spoke the most arrogant words with the most innocent expression.

Given his "personality" from the very beginning, it's truly hard to tell whether this was involuntary or a result of reverse psychology...

Of course, whether he used reverse psychology or it was just his nature, it didn't matter to Li Xiuyuan.

Well... who can blame him for being a "master" who is well-versed in Buddhism?

One should not harbor anger; isn't this the most basic thing?

and so……

"Ahem, monk, can I say that I actually don't know martial arts?"

"Impossible. If you don't know martial arts, why would that white-haired uncle be so polite to you?"

Unintentionally, Li Xiuyuan's plan to slack off was exposed, which made him even more "hateful" towards the culprit, that shrewish boy. (Oh, in quotes, not real hatred.)

Good heavens, why didn't a bolt of lightning strike down and kill this damned guy?
