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

He silently moved away, and in the process, the strangeness in his eyes slowly turned into a hint of disdain.

However... Sikong Changfeng had no idea what Li Xiuyuan was thinking!

He had lost control of his emotions and forgot that Li Xiuyuan didn't know his fiancée was Li Hanyi.

His thinking at the time was very simple: "People who are not from the same family will not enter the same door!"

Li Hanyi is a money-loser, so her fiancé is probably no good either!

Well, of course, the fact that Li Xiuyuan couldn't afford to offend the other party was also a factor...

…………

"Wow, that's amazing! Is this the power of a sword immortal's strike?"

"I really want to take that sword myself!"

On the other side, Li Fansong, from the perspective of an observer, witnessed the entire process of Li Hanyi from the moment she drew her sword to the moment she was cleaved in two at Dengtian Pavilion!

He saw the sharp sword energy and felt the extremely cold sword intent!

Only two words could describe how he felt just now!

That is—stunning!

Absolutely stunning!

It is said that a sword immortal's sword can transcend eternity, a truly astonishing feat!

This time, he finally saw it with his own eyes!

Of course, his desire for the way of the sword was far beyond what he could be satisfied by simply witnessing this one sword strike!

He's going to challenge the Snow Moon Sword Immortal! He's going to personally receive this sword strike!

Li Fansong stared blankly, as if he had lost his mind, and tried to walk towards the Ascension Pavilion.

But before he could take two steps, he felt his clothes being pulled and a voice breaking his current state.

"Feixuan? What's wrong? Why are you pulling me like that?"

"This is a rare opportunity! I'll regret it for a long time if I can't go up and experience the power of a sword immortal for myself!"

Li Fansong stopped and spoke to Xiao Feixuan with a serious expression.

However, upon hearing the other party's words, Xiao Feixuan shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle drum!

"No, Junior Uncle! Have you forgotten that dirty... Master Daoji's calculations from just now?"

"All the things we never believed have come true!"

“We didn’t believe that guy in red could get past the fifteenth floor of the Heavenly Pavilion, but he ended up standing on the top.”

"We considered the Ascension Pavilion extremely important, but it was still cleaved in two by the Snow Moon Sword Immortal's sword!"

"If things continue like this, according to Master Daoji, if you challenge him, you will be seriously injured!"

Xiao Feixuan's words finally reminded Li Fansong of everything that had happened before, including the "bet"!

His originally cheerful and smiling face turned slightly somber.

Just as Xiao Feixuan said, Master Daoji, whom he initially thought was a fraudster trying to scam food and drink, turned out to be a senior who had gone far in the art of divination and whose knowledge was unfathomable!

So if I really am going to ascend to the Heavenly Pavilion, then the bloodshed I mentioned before is basically destined to happen!

It is said that if one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening.

But it's easier said than done. When it comes to actually making a choice, how many people can truly accept the thought of "dying in the evening"?

But if he doesn't go, he'll really regret it for the rest of his life!

Li Fansong was filled with inner turmoil, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a pressure on his shoulder. He saw that Li Xiuyuan, who was covered in tattered clothes, had put his hand on his shoulder at some point.

He slowly began to speak.

"Go! Go and see for yourself what the so-called Sword Immortal's sword strike is all about!"

"I...I'd like to go, but..."

Li Fansong's face was filled with bitterness, unwilling to admit his inner retreat.

"Oh, go if you want to! Don't worry, didn't I tell you?"

"I like you! I'll protect you from this bloody disaster! Don't worry, go!"

"You can always trust the monk, after all, you can never imagine how persistent I am about those three days of meals you owe me!"

Li Xiuyuan spoke with a smile, but Li Fansong felt an extremely reliable feeling in his heart!

His intuition told him that he could go!

"Then thank you very much, Senior Daoji. I'll be off now!"

"If I come back unharmed, even if I have to make money by setting up a fortune-telling stall, I will still treat you to three more days of food and drinks, senior!"

Li Fansong nodded solemnly, then flew towards the direction of ascension and leaped across!

"Li Fansong, a disciple of Zhao Yuzhen of Wangcheng Mountain, challenges the Snow Moon Sword Immortal of Snow Moon City to test his sword!"

Li Fansong used all his lightness skill and arrived in front of Li Hanyi in just a few breaths!

He muttered to himself, but unlike in the original story, the current Li Hanyi didn't react to the name Zhao Yuzhen at all. She just stood there coldly, ignoring him.

Lei Wujie, who had fallen into the crevice, heard the voice from afar and his eyes widened in shock.

"Hey! Brother Fan Song! Isn't this a bit too unethical? I'm the one who came to break into the pavilion! If you want to challenge the Sword Immortal, you have to start from the first floor!"

"Haha, Brother Lei Wujie, look, where is the first level of the Ascension Pavilion left to climb?"

"If you still want to fight, why don't you come up quickly and we can challenge the Sword Immortal together? That way, we'll have a real fight!"

A response came from afar, and Lei Wujie thought about it and it seemed to make a lot of sense.

In one swift step, he used his lightness skill to climb to the top of the pavilion once again, standing opposite Li Hanyi alongside Li Fansong!

"Hey! Brother Fan Song, you really got the better of me this time, didn't you? Don't drag me down, you hear?"

"Haha! I was worried you'd hold me back. You're only able to maintain your Freedom Realm strength because of the fan Senior Daoji gave you!"

"Otherwise, you would have been beaten to a pulp long ago!"

"As for taking advantage of you... hehe, how about I buy you a drink afterwards?"

In front of Li Hanyi, Li Fansong and Lei Wujie started chatting back and forth.

On the other hand, Li Hanyi had no intention of stopping their "reminiscing".

After all, he's his own brother; if he doesn't spoil him, who will?

So she decided to give up on it!

But who knew that when she heard the words "Senior Daoji", a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in her heart!

Just a few months ago, atop Cangshan Mountain, she seemed to have heard Sikong Changfeng mention this name, or rather, his Buddhist name...

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she were thinking about something, her eyes wandering around unintentionally.

However, it was at this moment that she saw the face that had been etched in her heart for ten whole years!

"Li! Xiu! Yuan!"

"You actually dared to come to Snowmoon City!"

…………

Chapter 77 Li Xiuyuan was dumbfounded, "Who are you, female benefactor?"

"Li... Xiuyuan? Who is Li Xiuyuan? My name is Li Fansong, not Li Xiuyuan."

"Then I'm still called Lei Wujie, so I can't possibly be that Li Xiuyuan, can I?"

The sudden, chilling sword intent emanating from Li Hanyi caused Li Fansong and Lei Wujie to shudder.

They looked at each other, completely bewildered, neither of them guessing who this Li Xiuyuan was.

It wasn't until Lei Wujie, the guy usually called "Little Fool," suddenly had a whim and followed Li Hanyi's gaze, which finally landed on a person dressed in tattered clothes, that he exclaimed "Oh!" in realization.

"I understand now. The Li Xiuyuan that the Sword Immortal Senior mentioned must be Daoji!"

"Now I remember, when I first met Daoji and Xiaose, Daoji introduced himself."

He said his Buddhist name was Daoji, and his real name was Li Xiuyuan, and that we could call him whatever we wanted.

"Then, I thought the name Daoji was more convenient, so I called him Daoji, while Xiao Se preferred to call him Crazy Monk."

"Perhaps it's been too long since we've talked about it, which is why I didn't react immediately."

Lei Wujie scratched his head and chuckled as he explained.

"So that's how it is. Senior Daoji is Li Xiuyuan."

"But he had been to Snowmoon City before, or rather, did he have some kind of conflict with the Snowmoon Sword Immortal?"

"Why is the Snow Moon Sword Immortal calling out Senior Daoji's name through gritted teeth like that?"

Li Fansong asked questions when he didn't understand, but how could Lei Wujie possibly know what happened back then?

His face was also filled with confusion, and he spoke tentatively.

"I don't think so, right?"

"I remember Daoji saying that it was indeed his first time in Snow Moon City, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten lost so many times."

"As for whether there is any conflict between them, I really don't know."

"But it's alright, Daoji is very strong. Even if Snow Moon Sword Immortal really wants to cause him trouble, it's not certain who will win!"

Lei Wujie said optimistically.

On the other hand, Li Fansong on the other side showed a strange expression after hearing his words.

Senior Daoji...is very strong?

I didn't realize that!

It's not that Li Fansong looks down on him or speaks ill of him in his heart. After all, putting everything else aside, his divination skills alone are already worthy of his respect.
