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

Among them, the Lei family of Jiangnan, the Tang family of Sichuan, and the rather low-profile Wen family are the core.

Although Snow Moon City could be considered a self-contained system after its formal establishment, at least until Tang Lian received news of Lei Men's departure from the alliance, they could be considered one family.

As for what just happened, it must have been a coincidence, or perhaps a misunderstanding arose because he was on a mission.

"By the way, who are you? Judging from your profound internal strength, you must be no nobody!"

"I never expected to encounter such an opponent so soon after entering the martial world! That's impressive!"

Lei Wujie talked to himself, his massive internal energy surging out to prepare for the upcoming battle. But shortly afterward, his condition was almost completely exhausted compared to now.

"So you're new to the martial world. No wonder I've never heard of Lei Wujie before."

"And judging from this guy's appearance..."

"Being carefree and having a childlike heart—even if someone were to act it out, they couldn't fake it!"

"They shouldn't be enemies anymore."

Tang Lian thought to herself, then looked up at Lei Wujie, about to explain her identity.

Behind Lei Wujie, it seemed that someone who was traveling with him had stepped out first.

"The Tang Clan's uniquely forged hidden weapons, the fingertip blades, combined with your physical features, such as two strands of white hair hanging down your temples."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Tang Lian, the eldest disciple of Snow Moon City?"

The speaker was none other than Xiao Se, who has a Baidu Encyclopedia entry for martial arts novels in the original work.

At this moment, he had a smug look on his face... Yes, that's the kind of person who appears indifferent on the surface but is secretly smug inside, that's what you call smug.

He walked out slowly with a smug look on his face, muttering to himself, and directly revealed Tang Lian's identity.

"Tang Lian, the eldest disciple of Snow Moon City? So you're from Snow Moon City. It seems my first opponent is quite something..."

"Wait! Snow Moon City? The eldest disciple?"

Hearing Xiao Se's words and seeing the other person's tacit acceptance of this identity, Lei Wujie was originally eager to try his luck.

But after a brief pause in his mental reflexes, he finally managed to understand that the person on the other side wasn't actually an enemy.

"Wow! You're Tang Lian! So, you're my senior brother?"

"Oh dear! Look at me, it's all a misunderstanding! As the saying goes, 'The flood washed away the crab temple,' and family members don't recognize each other!"

Lei Wujie went to Snow Moon City for his master's mission, and also to become a disciple of Snow Moon City.

But look at him now, he hasn't even entered the sect yet, and he's already fighting with the senior disciple inside. (23sK.com)

That would offend so many people!

So, in order to quickly clear up the misunderstanding and get closer to each other, Lei Wujie immediately put on a smiling face and used that nonsensical proverb to directly stick it on.

"It was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, not the Crab Temple, you idiot!"

Upon hearing Lei Wujie's words, Xiao Se once again sighed and complained.

"Oh? Really? Oh, don't fuss over such details. As long as I've conveyed my meaning, that's fine, right, Senior Brother?"

Lei Wujie responded with a silly grin.

Tang Lian, who was tagged by him, saw his expression and realized it was an expression of naivety that had reached a certain level.

The wariness and hostility in her heart completely dissipated, and then, as if infected by this guy, Tang Lian couldn't help but show a helpless smile.

“Brother Lei, you haven’t officially become a disciple yet, so I think… you don’t need to call me ‘Senior Brother’ so quickly.”

"But no matter what, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"Okay, senior brother."

Lei Wujie immediately agreed after hearing Tang Lian's words, but it was obvious that those words went in one ear and out the other for him.

"I... never mind. Anyway, you're from the Lei family. If you really want to become an apprentice, you won't face any obstacles."

Tang Lian had no choice but to let the matter of the form of address go unresolved.

Since the misunderstanding had been cleared up and everyone was now friends rather than enemies, Tang Lian invited them to go inside the temple to light a fire and rest.

But after taking only two steps, he noticed that the two people behind him were not following, and out of curiosity, he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Tang Lian asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that we have a companion who was just over there, but now he's nowhere to be seen."

Lei Wujie replied in this way.

"Companions? But I've only sensed the presence of the two of you from the very beginning?"

Tang Lian frowned slightly and spoke subconsciously.

"Huh? But he was the one who told me to use my internal energy to rush into the dilapidated temple, and we even made a bet about whether there were enemies inside."

"Oh, I see! This guy realized he lost the bet and wanted to renege on his debt, so he ran away before it was due!"

"Damn it, they're so cunning!"

Lei Wujie looked at Xiao Se, and after a moment of reaction, he spoke indignantly.

It was these words of his that, instead of resonating with Xiao Se, made him feel a sudden pain in his butt and lose his balance when he saw the other person show a strange expression that seemed to pity him. He was wondering why the other person would make such an expression when he suddenly felt a pain in his butt and lost his balance.

With a thud, he landed face-first on the thick layer of snow.

Yes, as expected, it was our Li Xiuyuan who appeared out of nowhere, arriving behind Lei Wujie without anyone seeing him or even sensing his presence, and then kicked him in the butt!

"Ouch! Who is it?"

Lei Wujie hadn't reacted yet, but when the person who kicked him from behind made a sound, he realized that it was Li Xiuyuan who had done this!

"Ouch! What are you doing? Why did you kick me, Daoji?! I didn't say anything wrong. You didn't calculate it correctly in the first place!"

"There are people in this dilapidated temple, but that's my senior brother Tang Lian, not an enemy!"

"Then when the results came out, I didn't see you. So it's normal for me to suspect you're trying to renege on your promise, right?"

Lei Wujie got up from the ground with a wronged expression, brushing the snow off his body as he argued his case.

"Hey! You think you're right? I, the monk, never said that the enemies in this dilapidated temple are the ones you're about to face!"

"As for the real enemy... I've calculated it, and it's coming very soon!"

Li Xiuyuan pulled out a fan and, without saying a word, slapped it down on Lei Wujie's head.

Hmm... it feels really good, especially seeing this guy's aggrieved look, it's really satisfying to bully him!

"This mad monk is incredibly fast! But so far, this is the only speed he has shown!"

"Based on this alone, we can't tell what school of thought it belongs to, nor can we deduce its specific level of mastery."

"But no matter what, if he's around, at least... he can save his life if we really encounter any great danger?"

After noticing Li Xiuyuan suddenly appear behind Lei Wujie and giving him a "you're in trouble" look, Xiao Se's mind raced with strange thoughts once again regarding Li Xiuyuan's unpredictable movements. (WWW.23sk.net)

Tang Lian, who was standing next to him, was initially shocked when he saw a figure silently approaching Lei Wujie from behind!

As he had said before, within the entire area of ​​the dilapidated temple, he only sensed the presence of Lei Wujie and Xiao Se.

There was no one else besides him!

Including Li Xiuyuan's sudden appearance, if it weren't for the fact that he and Xiao Se were walking in front and now turned around right in front of Lei Wujie, they would have only been able to see someone coming through sight, which is the least sensitive sense. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find the other person at all by just their aura!

This is a very dangerous omen! It almost means that if the enemy wanted to, they could easily rush in from behind, launch an attack from a blind spot, and wipe them all out here!

That's why Tang Lian was so frightened!

However, after that, because the other person's appearance was completely exposed, Tang Lian recognized the other person's identity after a brief recollection, so she lowered her guard, and the expression on her face did not change because of the rapid change in her mind.

Yes, just today during the day, he and this crazy monk... well, now that we know his name, let's call him Master Daoji.

Earlier today, he had already encountered Master Daoji directly.

It was because of that experience that, after seeing that the other party clearly had the ability to steal the golden coffin but did not make a move, he knew that the other party was probably not his enemy.

As for why he appeared silently behind Lei Wujie, and what he intended to do...

Based on what the other party just said, they had a companion in their group. In addition, he noticed that the man named Xiao Se had also noticed Master Daoji but had not spoken up to warn him. He could roughly guess that the three of them were probably traveling together, so he didn't say anything either.

Well... to put it bluntly, with Master Daoji's strength, dealing with these little Karamis would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

"Master Daoji, just as you said, we meet again."

After Lei Wujie and Li Xiuyuan finished their playful banter, Tang Lian stepped forward and greeted them with clasped hands.

In this martial arts world, strength reigns supreme. As long as you are strong enough, even a mad monk can earn respect.

"Eh? Senior Brother, you actually know Daoji?"

Lei Wujie was stunned after hearing Tang Lian's words, but the main reason was not that the two people knew each other.

What really baffled him was why he felt that his senior brother was being a bit too respectful to Daoji.

Could it be that Daoji's claim of being a master of martial arts is true? And that he can also predict the future is also true?

The other party was actually a powerful senior who had traveled the martial arts world, but he was too ignorant to recognize him.

Not only Lei Wujie, but even Xiao Se frowned slightly after seeing Tang Lian's attitude.

"Yes, of course I know him! I even ran into this kind benefactor just before I went to Snowfall Manor!"

"If it weren't for this kind benefactor who gave me a pot of good wine, I might not have even met you yet and would have frozen to death on the road!"

Tang Lian originally wanted to explain how she met Li Xiuyuan, hoping to praise Li Xiuyuan's strength in front of his friends and give him face.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Xiuyuan spoke first.

Tang Lian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but without thinking much of it, she simply responded in accordance with Li Xiuyuan's words.

"Yes, it was probably before you. I met Master Daoji once while I was on a mission."

"I remember before he left, he said that we would have a chance to meet again, but I didn't really care at the time."

"But now that I see it, it really has come true! It seems that Master Daoji's Buddhist practice is very profound!"
