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

He's a stranger, fine, but the key point is that he's incredibly strong! And he only took ten years to become that strong!

Being cautious is never a bad idea, but... these are ultimately the thoughts of the Snowmoon City leadership!

In fact, Li Xiuyuan didn't have any powerful backing; it was just Lingyin Temple!

Then, inside Lingyin Temple, there was just a group of ordinary monks who didn't know martial arts. What was there to test them for?

Are you suggesting that the Lingyin Temple in the world of "The Legend of the Young Swordsman" is the one associated with the Living Buddha Jigong?

Is his fat senior brother the reincarnation of a fat immortal? And his skinny junior nephew is the skinny immortal?

Could their abbot be an incarnation of the Long-Eyebrow Arhat?

How is that possible?!

Given all these improbable circumstances, and considering that he himself had no ill intentions, Li Xiuyuan had a clear conscience and was actually looking forward to getting another good drink, so he readily accepted the invitation!

“That’s great! I was worried that you wouldn’t agree, Master Daoji, and I wouldn’t know what to do.”

"That would be best. In that case, let me go back and report to my master so we can discuss a time!"

Tang Lian's smile returned, and she joined Xiao Se and Lei Wujie in their antics, even playing a drinking game.

Li Xiuyuan was also dragged in!

Ha, just kidding. I have the body of an Arhat, I can drink a thousand cups, no, a thousand catties without getting drunk. You want to compete with me in drinking?

In just over half an hour, apart from Lei Wujie who was carrying the wine, Xiao Se and Tang Lian were both slumped over the table, unconscious.

"Wow! Daoji, you're really something! By the way, you didn't secretly use your internal energy to neutralize it, did you? That doesn't count as a win!"

"Heh, you're joking. This monk has been drinking wine like water the whole way. Do I need to use internal energy to neutralize it?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie scratched his head and responded with a smile.

"That's true. So, Daoji, who are you in this game?"

Seemingly sensing something, Lei Wujie's smile vanished instantly. He stood up and looked outside, only to see a figure leap across the roof beams, flying towards the direction where Li Hanyi was in seclusion!

"Someone has broken into Snowmoon City at night!"

…………

Chapter 84 Lei Wujie: She's my master, so isn't she your fiancée?

"Daoji, did you see that? Someone suddenly ran past just now, and they were very fast. I guess their cultivation level is not low!"

"And a person with considerable cultivation broke into Snow Moon City in the middle of the night, and at such a rapid pace."

"He must have ill intentions!"

"No, that location... that's the direction where the Snow Moon Sword Immortal is in seclusion! He's coming for the Snow Moon Sword Immortal!"

"Daoji, let's go take a look together!"

Lei Wujie stood up, wanting to pull Li Xiuyuan along to take a look. After all, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal had taught him, and although they hadn't formally become disciples for various reasons, in Lei Wujie's heart, the other party was already his teacher.

Now that his teacher is in seclusion and another expert is trying to harm him, how could Lei Wujie possibly sit idly by?

"Huh? No, you little blockhead, that's your master, not mine. Why are you dragging me along?"

"No, no, you go by yourself. I haven't had enough to drink yet!"

Li Xiuyuan had figured out the other party's identity from both the plot and his perception of their aura.

The aura emanating from the other party was very similar to that of Xiao Wushuang back at the border.

The two should be practicing the same internal energy cultivation method, and the current one's level is more profound.

It's obvious that the person who broke into Snow Moon City at night is none other than Song Yan, the city lord of Peerless City, from the original story!

His visit to the Snow Moon Sword Immortal this time was not for any ulterior motives; he simply wanted to improve his cultivation and spar with the immortal to verify his progress.

As for why they had to sneak over at night, it was naturally because Wushuang City and Xueyue City held a very important position in the martial arts world.

If it were a straightforward, unreported, private negotiation, that person in Tianqi City might not be able to sleep well that day.

However, since Song Yan Hui only wanted to spar with Song Yan Hui, making such a big fuss about reporting it was too exaggerated.

And if we lose, the whole world will know, which would be incredibly embarrassing for our families, and it would be completely unnecessary.

That's why he made that choice, and that's why... Li Xiuyuan didn't bother to do anything after learning that this matter wouldn't harm Li Hanyi!

Well, he's not concerned about that crazy woman! Can't you see he doesn't want to move at all?

"Oh dear! Daoji, what's wrong with you? She's my master... but she's also your fiancée!"

“I saw it all. The reason the other party attacked you is because they still have feelings for you and want to marry you.”

"If you act like that, you're not manly at all!"

After sorting out his imagined relationship with the two of them, Lei Wujie spoke as follows.

"puff!!"

Upon hearing what Lei Wujie said, Li Xiuyuan immediately spat out a mouthful of wine!

No, Li Hanyi is indeed his fiancée, and it's right for him to want to get married.

But how could you possibly have any lingering memories?

They've barely met, how could they possibly have any feelings or longing for each other?

The other party's desire to marry him is not due to competitiveness or his mother's dying wish.

Why did you talk to Lei Wujie like he was some kind of scumbag who would play around and then not take responsibility?

Pshaw! You can't use the word "finished," he's a good monk!

Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha...

"You little rascal, you've got a problem climbing the roof and tearing off the tiles since you weren't disciplined for three days, haven't you?"

"What do you know? Why are you just spouting nonsense?"

Li Xiuyuan stood up, picked up his fan, and was about to hit him on the head a few times.

But to everyone's surprise, this kid didn't just close his eyes and admit defeat like he always did.

Of course, although he closed his eyes and frowned as a subconscious reaction, he still managed to say a couple of words in rebuttal, which could be considered a kind of progress, right?

"That's true! At least the engagement is still in effect, and she really wants to marry you."

"Besides, aren't monks supposed to be compassionate? Can you just stand by and watch a thief attack her, giving her a high probability of going berserk?"

"Putting everything else aside, if a sword immortal were to suffer a qi deviation, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Upon hearing Lei Wujie's words, Li Xiuyuan stopped his fan one centimeter above the other's head.

He put away his fan, remained silent for a while, and finally walked out of the pavilion without a word.

"Alright, alright! Honestly, you haven't even had a proper drink before you have to work. I'm really scared of you, you little blockhead!"

"You're just like that wretched brat, what bad luck!"

"Let's go, let's go. I'll go with you to take a look. But let me make this clear: unless it's absolutely necessary, I'm too lazy to move!"

After hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Lei Wujie slowly opened his eyes, his smile exceptionally bright!

"Hehe! I knew you wouldn't be the kind of person to stand by and watch someone die. You're a good monk, worthy of being my friend, Lei Wujie!"

Lei Wujie patted his chest, about to say something more, when he saw Li Xiuyuan appear behind him at some point.

Once again, he took out that nightmarish fan!

"Wait... Daoji, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? While we're chatting here, they'll be almost here. Do you think you can catch up now?"

"Oh, then it's our turn to do it?"

Before Lei Wujie could even ask his question, Li Xiuyuan slapped him on the butt with a fan!

With a flash of pale golden light, Lei Wujie's body vanished from the spot in an instant!

Yes, it's disappearance, it's teleportation, not a quick departure!

"Well, let's go then!"

Lei Wujie was sent away, and Li Xiuyuan had no intention of being a dishonest person.

After letting out a sigh, he turned and disappeared from the courtyard.

…………

Chapter 85 One sword cuts through water, a thousand rivers cease to flow!

Snow Moon City, on a small path halfway up Cangshan Mountain.

A man dressed in a dark yellow robe, holding a long sword, with a square face and a composed demeanor, was running at high speed.

Judging from the internal energy emanating from him, this person was a martial arts expert with extremely profound skills. (WWW.23sk.net)

Even in the entire martial arts world, disregarding skills, just considering internal strength alone, he is enough to rank in the top ten!

He is Song Yan Hui, the Lord of Wushuang City!

At this time, Song Yan Hui made a small breakthrough in swordsmanship, and his nearly perfected Broken Water Sword Intent officially broke through.

In order to consolidate this realm, he chose to test his sword against Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, who was also a master swordsman. However, since the opponent's strength was currently far superior to his, after this sword test...

Let alone stabilizing one's realm, with this momentum, one might even be able to advance to the next level!

As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once. This time, he arrived without even being notified, making it a true "night raid on Snow Moon City"!

"This sword trial is extremely important. If I succeed, I will become the first sword immortal in the century-long decline of Wushuang City!"

"Plus, that kid Wushuang is exceptionally talented and has a spiritual connection to the sword. He'll definitely become a sword immortal within five years!"

"With this, my Peerless City will have two sword immortals!"

"We're not far from reclaiming the title of 'World' and regaining the name of the Unrivaled City..."

As she hurried along, Song Yan's usually stern face broke into a smile as she thought of the bright future.
