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

What the hell?

So the reason this kid attacked him so desperately, and even forcibly opened the other side of the Peerless Sword Box in order to get him to make a move, was because he thought Li Xiuyuan looked down on him? That he didn't respect him, so he was resentful?

Oh dear! Why didn't you say so sooner?

Although his refusal to fight does seem a little disrespectful.

But he swears that he really didn't mean it that way in his mind, and he wouldn't have meant it that way!

He just wanted to take it easy, wait until you, the kid, had finished hitting him, then stop on your own, or get a response to his "plea for help," and then go back to lie down!

But... but his idea ultimately didn't come true. It was one thing that Wushuang was stubborn and misunderstood.

Why do Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, and Wu Chan keep calling him "good brother," but Master Daoji ignores him?

Damn it...

"Ahem, I say, young benefactor, you have completely misunderstood me."

"I'm really not good at this..."

As Li Xiuyuan spoke, he realized that there was no point in making excuses.

It's obvious that this person thought they were the stronger one from the very beginning!

Furthermore, if the opponent has been fighting for a long time without touching you, and you still haven't noticed anything, then the opponent must be out of their mind.

So, Li Xiuyuan chose a different approach, well... still the same approach: to get the other party to give up!

"Young benefactor, how can you think I, a monk, am disrespecting you? I was just trying to kindly guide you!"

Li Xiuyuan pretended to be heartbroken and said.

"Wow, Daoji really knows how to be shameless! He wasn't giving Wushuang any pointers at all just now!"

"Could it be that I didn't see it?"

Li Xiuyuan's words immediately gave most of the people present, including Wuxin, the same thought as Lei Wujie's.

"What kind of trouble is this crazy monk up to now? I'd like to see how he tries to cover it up."

Xiao Se's lips curled slightly as he thought to himself.

“This… Lei Wujie, how can you say that about Master Daoji? Master Daoji is excellent in both cultivation and reasoning.”

"There must be a deeper meaning behind his words!"

"Yes, I also think that Master Daoji must have his own ideas, it's just that we haven't figured them out yet."

Even the honest duo of Tang Lian and Wu Chan felt inexplicably embarrassed by what Li Xiuyuan said.

Anyone who puts themselves into that situation will feel very awkward.

But what can they do when they are honest people, and Daoji suddenly enlightens them at certain unexpected moments?

Because they already held Li Xiuyuan in very high regard, they subconsciously attributed their earlier embarrassment to reasons they couldn't understand.

"What? Senior monk...you're not kidding, are you? What did you just tell me?"

"Tsk tsk, young benefactor, your aptitude is lacking. Haven't you noticed that you can now skillfully wield eight flying swords?"

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Wushuang was about to retort, but before she could utter a word, she was silenced by him.

"As for me, I know that you have reached this level at such a young age, and I am somewhat proud of it."

"And it was through this seemingly disrespectful attitude that I ignited your spirit and your inner potential!"

"Otherwise, how could you control eight flying swords in the Free and Easy Realm? If it weren't for the fact that you always felt that I, the monk, looked down on you."

"Why would you go to such lengths to develop your own power, hoping to make me, a monk, take you seriously?"

Li Xiuyuan's smooth talk left Wushuang completely bewildered.

But ironically, there's nothing wrong with his logic.

I remember he said to himself more than once, "Today, I, Wushuang, will make you fight me head-on!"

If all of this was done on purpose by the other side, then it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

After all, no matter how you look at it, this senior monk doesn't seem like the kind of person who is arrogant and aloof, right?

They probably won't do anything like that, they'd rather not bother with such a move, right?

Xiao Se was stunned after hearing Li Xiuyuan's words!

Damn it, I just didn't want to see you slacking off comfortably, so I gave you something to do.

But unexpectedly, this became your opportunity to show off?

Good heavens, if he didn't know this crazy monk so well, he would have involuntarily believed these words!

.........

Chapter 60 Sikong Changfeng's politeness: You?

"Wow, so Daoji really was giving Wushuang some pointers?"

"Although I don't know the specifics, I inexplicably feel that it's incredibly powerful!"

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Lei Wujie immediately opened his mouth wide, his usually simple-minded face filled with shock.

Not only him, but even the two honest men beside him, Tang Lian and Wu Chan, looked like they suddenly realized something.

He nodded quickly, indicating that he finally understood what Master Daoji meant.

Because of the increasingly outrageous behavior of the people around him, Xiao Se, who was considered the smartest person in the room, couldn't help but turn pale.

He couldn't help but speak.

"No, you don't actually believe what that crazy monk said, do you? Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Xiao Se's expression was full of speechlessness, but what made him even more speechless was that he had no reason to refute Lei Wujie's reply!

"Um, Xiao Se... although I didn't realize at first that Daoji was instructing that Wushuang."

"But regardless, Wushuang did indeed break through in this battle, didn't he?"

"Besides, although Daoji is usually crazy, he'll still take action if something really happens, right?"

Lei Wujie's blunt and retortive answer left Xiao Se speechless. He really wanted to say that when it comes to understanding that mad monk, none of you combined could match him!

"Sigh, if Wuxin were still sober, having him corroborate would definitely be more effective than having me do it."

"In their eyes, am I the kind of person who can't stand this crazy monk every day?"

When this question arose in Xiao Se's mind, he had already given himself the answer.

Yes!

Judging from the various ways he and Daoji hurt each other along the way, he seems to really be that kind of person!

Of course, this doesn't mean they really don't get along or anything like that.

The fact that he understands Li Xiuyuan so well and can always make the other party suffer a setback only proves that their relationship is extraordinary.

It's like someone who goes out to bring food from a university dormitory and then forcibly takes in a few sons when they bring the food back. Can you say that their relationship is bad?

…………

"It seems that's how it is?"

"If it weren't for your behavior, senior monk, I really wouldn't have tried so hard to break through my limits."

"Then I won't be able to control the eight flying swords and master this peerless sword formation!"

"Thank you so much, senior!"

On the other side, Wushuang was clearly also misled.

Upon seeing this, he quickly retrieved all his flying swords, hoisted the Peerless Sword Box onto his back, and clasped his hands in a sincere gesture of gratitude.

"Ahem, I hope you understand what I mean and that you won't keep misunderstanding me."

To be honest, among everyone present, perhaps only Xiao Se and himself knew what was going on!

He knew very well that he had no intention of giving Wushuang any pointers, even though his actions did indeed become a bridge for the other's progress.

So, he felt a little guilty accepting this bow.

He needs to offer some subjective suggestions to achieve a balance of cause and effect, right?

"Well, besides instructing you on martial arts, I also have a suggestion for your personality."

"Of course, whether you listen or not is your business."

Upon hearing this, Wushuang lowered his hands, clasped them together again, and replied earnestly.

"Please speak, senior."

"Well, then I'll say it. I don't think being young and impetuous is a bad thing. Getting hit with some setbacks can also help you grow."

"But you're too hasty and too confident in yourself! You're confident that even if you can't win, you can still run away!"

"But is that really the case? Whether it was Old Mo before, um... that white-haired immortal, or me now."

"If we wanted to kill you, do you think you could escape?"

"You must know that there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. The path of martial arts is endless; there is no strongest, only stronger!"

"If you continue to act like this, rushing into battles with people you don't know the limits of, over the smallest things..."

"Even though the other party is clearly unwilling to fight, you keep chasing after them, forcing them to make a move."

"Your talent might not be fully realized, and it might be cut short halfway through!"

Li Xiuyuan spoke seriously and earnestly.

There was no other way; he couldn't accept the young man's greeting for nothing. Besides, he probably wouldn't see him much in the future, and the other man had already cemented his image as an unparalleled master. So he didn't care. He might as well keep up the act and guide the young man onto the right path.

But... he doesn't seem old at all? Why does he keep calling me a young man?

"There are always people more capable than you... and heavens beyond heavens?"

"The path of martial arts is endless; there is no strongest, only stronger?"

After hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Wushuang fell silent.
