At this time, he was playing chess with Li Lianhua, when suddenly Fang Duobing ran in excitedly.
"Li Lianhua, Zhou Chen, our Baichuan Academy's people are here. Dean Shi Shui is here to investigate the Golden Yuan League."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua didn't even raise their heads, still concentrating on the game.
Fang Duobing was very unhappy when he saw that they did not respond. He found that Li Lianhua had been indifferent to him since she had been with Zhou Chen. Although she had been indifferent to him before, this was a different feeling.
"Hey, Li Lianhua, not only is Dean Shi here this time, but even the most beautiful lady in the martial arts world, Qiao Wanwan, is here too."
The black chess piece that Li Lianhua was about to put down fell onto the chessboard with a "click".
"I knew you were interested. Haha, come with me and take a look."
Unexpectedly, Li Lianhua quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "Go by yourself. I'm not interested in any of this. Don't disturb us playing chess."
"you……"
Fang Duobing was very angry and said, "Your kindness is taken as an insult," and then left in anger.
As soon as he left, Li Lianhua lost interest in playing chess. Zhou Chen looked at him and said with a smile, "If you want to meet him, go ahead. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"What am I afraid of? Why should I be afraid? What a joke! I'm going to go to the bathroom."
Li Lianhua yelled loudly, then stood up, patted her clothes, and prepared to leave.
Zhou Chen said leisurely at this time: "Do you still remember that about five years ago, I led Qiao Wanwan to see you at the foot of Sigumen Mountain?"
"Why are you talking about this at this time? You don't want to repeat the same trick, Achen? I advise you to be a kind person and stop cheating me." Li Lianhua looked alert.
Zhou Chen said: "You think too much. What I want to tell you is that in addition to leading Qiao Wanwan to see you, I also did one more thing."
Li Lianhua's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"What else did you do?"
"Nothing, I just left a message for Qiao Wanwan. Let me think about it, what I wrote at that time was 'Awan, I'm sorry, my wish in this life is to hold your hand and grow old with you. If you are willing, wait for me for five years.' I imitated your handwriting and also drew the pattern of the treasure's sachet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lianhua was stunned. Then he rushed to Zhou Chen and grabbed Zhou Chen's neck excitedly.
"Achen, do you want to kill me? Aa ...
Zhou Chen pushed him away and said very seriously: "I'm helping you."
Li Lianhua's expression froze and he sighed towards the sky. He knew that Zhou Chen was not lying and that Zhou Chen was capable of doing such a thing.
"You don't have to worry too much. Maybe her feelings for you are not as deep as yours. She has a licker named Xiao Zijin by her side. Maybe she has already forgotten you and accepted Xiao Zijin. Then you don't have to worry so much."
Hearing Zhou Chen say this, he felt even worse.
Although he really hoped that Qiao Wanwan would be happy, he had also thought about renewing their relationship, so although he seemed to be blaming Zhou Chen just now, he was actually secretly happy in his heart.
But Zhou Chen's words made him very unhappy. He understood what Zhou Chen meant. Zhou Chen was simply telling Qiao Wanwan that he was still alive, but the choice was still in Qiao Wanwan's hands.
If Qiao Wanwan knew that he was still alive, would she wait for him or choose Xiao Zijin?
He has never asked about Qiao Wanwan's news over the years, so he really wants to know the answer.
So he couldn't control his steps and quietly headed towards the main courtyard of Yucheng where guests were received.
Zhou Chen looked at his back and shook his head: "You are a hypocritical guy. You say you don't care, but you still can't let it go. Just go obediently."
As he said that, he also followed quietly. He was also very curious. With his reminder, would Qiao Wanwan still be with Xiao Zijin as in the original plot?
Shi Shui did not come alone, he was accompanied by Xiao Zijin and Qiao Wanwan. Yu Qiushuang met them and talked about the Golden Yuan League. She agreed to Shi Shui's request for the rare opportunity and promised to let them go to the back mountain to search for clues that Di Feisheng and the others might have left behind.
So, Shi Shui and the others went to the back mountain again, and Li Lianhua naturally followed them quietly.
He did see the person he had been thinking about, Qiao Wanwan, but he also saw Xiao Zijin at the same time. As expected, wherever Qiao Wanwan was, Xiao Zijin must be there. Even though he still had thoughts about Qiao Wanwan in his heart, he had to admit that Xiao Zijin had indeed paid a lot for Qiao Wanwan, at least more than he had paid back then.
But soon she discovered another situation. Although Qiao Wanwan was with Xiao Zijin, there was not much intimate communication between them, let alone any physical contact.
This surprised and delighted him. Could it be that Zhou Chen's letter really worked? Qiao Wanwan did not accept Xiao Zijin, but was waiting for him, or were there other possibilities?
At this moment, Li Lianhua's mood was extremely complicated and nervous. It had been almost ten years, and except for the time he suddenly met Qiao Wanwan, he had never been so nervous again.
"Do you want to go over and ask now?"
Li Lianhua was startled by Zhou Chen’s sudden arrival.
"Can you please stop being so evil? You always appear suddenly and scare people to death."
"It's better than someone sneaking away and stealing all my money."
Li Lianhua scratched her head awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"Aren't you afraid that Baichuanyuan will find out Yu Hongzhu's true identity? And that it will affect your confidante?"
"Don't you know there's a saying called 'no evidence after death'? No matter how powerful Baichuan Academy is, they don't have the final say in the martial arts world."
Zhou Chen showed disdain on his face. He didn't have a good impression of Baichuan Academy. He even felt that Baichuan Academy was not as straightforward as the Imperial Court's Supervisory Office.
Except for Shi Shui, none of the other three deans are upright and selfless people. If it weren't for the remaining prestige of Si Gumen and the support of the court, the various martial arts sects would never take Baichuan Academy seriously.

Chapter 1085: Li Xiangyi is still alive, Guanyin sheds tears
Shi Shui, Qiao Wanwan and Xiao Zijin all quickly arrived at the cliff at the back mountain, and Fang Duobing followed them.
"Dean Shi, I was at the scene when the fight broke out. It was the great demon Di Feisheng of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, and the medicine demon of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, the witch Jiao Liqiao."
Xiao Zijin asked: "How do you know? Do you know them?"
Fang Duobing said truthfully, "Of course I don't know them, but Li Lianhua told me their identities, as well as Di Feisheng. The person who fought with Di Feisheng at the time was a mysterious man wearing a mask. He called Di Feisheng's name himself, so it couldn't be wrong."
"And that mysterious man, when he was fighting with Di Feisheng, he said in person that my master Li Xiangyi was poisoned by some kind of green tea during the battle in the East China Sea. He also said that my master was not dead, but was still alive."
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Young Master Fang, are you serious? Did you really hear that Xiangyi is not dead?"
Fang Duobing naturally knew what the relationship between Qiao Wanwan and Li Xiangyi was, and immediately answered affirmatively: "Of course, I heard it with my own ears. If Miss Qiao doesn't believe it, you can ask Li Lianhua. He was with me at the time, and we all heard it."
"A bunch of nonsense."
Xiao Zijin shouted with dissatisfaction: "Xiang Yi disappeared after the battle in the East China Sea. If he is still alive, how could he not show up until now? I think you either heard it wrong or you are talking nonsense. Just like you said Li Xiang Yi is your master, who can prove it?"
Fang Duobing was not willing to tolerate Xiao Zijin, and he refuted bluntly: "Li Xiangyi is my master, I don't need to prove it to you, I said he is still alive, if you don't believe it, don't slander me without any evidence."
"you……"
Xiao Zijin was immediately furious. He thought that he was also a well-known hero in the martial arts world, and Fang Duobing, a rookie, was so rude to him.
Qiao Wanwan hurriedly stopped the argument between the two, comforted Xiao Zijin, and then asked Fang Duobing to describe the situation in detail.
Fang Duobing naturally told Qiao Wanwan everything he knew and told her what he saw at that time.
But Xiao Zijin sneered after hearing this: "According to what you said, that mysterious man can fight Di Feisheng on equal terms. Is there such a person in the martial arts world today?"
Although everyone thinks that Di Feisheng is a big evil devil who has done all kinds of evil, no one underestimates his martial arts skills.
"Why not? You haven't seen it, that means you have no experience, it doesn't mean you don't have it. That person also said that if he wants to be the best in the world, he will defeat Di Feisheng and Li Xiangyi. The meaning is very clear. My master Li Xiangyi is still alive."
"Miss Qiao, think about it, my master's martial arts is the best in the world. In the battle in the East China Sea, even Di Feisheng was able to survive, so why can't my master?"
Qiao Wanwan had a complicated expression on her face as she recalled what happened five years ago. At that time, she had already believed it about 70% of the time, so in the past five years, she openly followed Xiao Zijin in the martial arts world, but in fact, she was secretly looking for Li Xiangyi's whereabouts.
But five years had passed and she still hadn't gained anything, which made her heart sink little by little.
But when she heard Fang Duobing's words today, hope emerged in her heart again. If everything was true, it meant that the person five years ago was Li Xiangyi.
"Didn't you just say that your master was poisoned by the green tea? What are the chances of him surviving the poison and the sound of the flute?"
Xiao Zijin still didn't believe that Li Xiangyi was still alive. It couldn't be said that he didn't believe it, but he was unwilling to believe it, because he had been pursuing Qiao Wanwan for ten years, and he was just a little bit away. If Li Xiangyi was still alive, given Qiao Wanwan's feelings and guilt towards Li Xiangyi, the possibility of him and Qiao Wanwan being together would drop to freezing point.
Fang Duobing was too lazy to pay attention to him. At this moment, Shi Shui suddenly walked over with a serious look on his face.
"Fang Duobing, do you still remember the man who fought with Di Feisheng at that time? What did he look like? What kind of martial arts did he use? What kind of sword did he use?"
"what?"
Fang Duobing was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously and replied, "I didn't dare to get close at that time because the distance was quite far. The man was wearing a mask and I couldn't see his face clearly. As for his figure, he was slightly shorter than Di Feisheng, but also tall. He used a long sword. Dean Shi, did you find anything?"
Qiao Wanwan and Xiao Zijin also looked at Shi Shui.
Shi Shui had a serious expression, and his tone was full of disbelief: "I just climbed up the cliff and saw the sword marks left on it. I am sure that they are definitely the marks left by the sect master's Xiangyi Taijian. In other words, the person who fought with Di Feisheng used the Xiangyi Taijian."
"what?"
Fang Duobing and the other two were all horrified.
Qiao Wanwan rushed straight to the cliff without saying a word, and Fang Duobing and Xiao Zijin did the same.
The cliff was too high, and it was difficult for them to reach the top in one go with their lightness skills. They circled around and reached the top of the mountain. Under the guidance of Shi Shui, they saw traces left by the battle between Zhou Chen and Di Feisheng.
Qiao Wanwan analyzed it carefully, and finally confirmed with great surprise: "Yes, it is the trace left by Xiangyi Taijian."
Fang Duobing also asked excitedly: "Could it be that the person who fought with Di Feisheng that day was my master Li Xiangyi?"
Xiao Zijin's face was gloomy, and she retorted: "That's hard to say. According to your description just now, that person's figure is different from Xiangyi, and someone who can use Xiangyi Taijian is not necessarily Xiangyi."
Fang Duobing had been refuted by Xiao Zijin several times, and he had already accumulated a lot of anger. This time he directly cursed: "Bullshit, Xiangyi Taijian is the peerless swordsmanship created by my master. No one has learned it except him."
Xiao Zijin could no longer maintain the image of a gentleman. He looked at Fang Duobing with a cold look, but Fang Duobing was not afraid of him at all.
You, Xiao Zijin, may have some fame in the martial arts world, but I am also the young master of Tianji Villa, and my father is the prime minister of the dynasty. How could I be afraid of you?
Shi Shui did not stop Fang Duobing and Xiao Zijin from bickering with each other. She had disliked Xiao Zijin for a long time, so she was happy to see Fang Duobing quarreling with Xiao Zijin.
“Whether he is the Sect Master or not, since it is Xiang Yi Tai Jian, he must be related to the Sect Master, so as long as we find that mysterious person, we will definitely know the whereabouts of the Sect Master.”
Fang Duobing said: "That person said he would go look for Di Feisheng, so as long as we find Di Feisheng, maybe we can find that person."
Shi Shui nodded and said, "After I go back, I will immediately ask Baichuan Academy to investigate the whereabouts of Jin Yuanmeng and Di Feisheng. If the Sect Master is still alive, we can welcome him back..."
She admires Li Xiangyi the most among the four members of the clan, so no one is more motivated than her to find Li Xiangyi.
Qiao Wanwan said: "Shi Shui, I can help too."
"And also my Tianji Villa, Dean Shi." Fang Duobing was also very excited.
Only Xiao Zijin had a gloomy face, staring at the sword marks around him. Of course, he also recognized the marks of Xiang Yitai Sword, but he was unwilling to accept it.
He clenched his fists tightly. Ever since Li Xiangyi disappeared, he had been pursuing Qiao Wanwan for ten years and had been with her for ten years. This had long become his obsession. He must marry Qiao Wanwan and no one could stop him.
dark place.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "They quarreled a lot because of you, especially Xiao Zijin. If you appeared in front of him now, I think he would probably draw his sword and stab you."
Li Lianhua smiled bitterly: "It's not as exaggerated as you say. In fact, I can understand him. Fortunately, he has been with Awan all these years."
"No, please don't tell me that. I can't bear to hear that. Don't ever say anything like you just want to see her happy. It makes my hair stand on end."
"I really can't talk to you anymore."
After meeting Qiao Wanwan and learning that Qiao Wanwan was not really together with Xiao Zijin, Li Lianhua smiled more often and seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
However, he still did not forget to look for clues, so after discussing with Zhou Chen, he said goodbye to Zhou Chen, got rid of Fang Duobing, and ran away alone in the Lotus Tower.
Although Zhou Chen was also ready to take action, he still wanted to say goodbye to Yu Qiu Shuang before leaving.
Zhou Chen met Yu Qiu Shuang in the study. More than a month had passed, and Yu Qiu Shuang was becoming more and more like a city lord, and she had become much more mature than before.
"Are you here to say goodbye to me?"
Before Zhou Chen could tell her his purpose, Yu Qiu Shuang spoke first, staring at Zhou Chen with her delicate eyes without blinking.
In Yucheng, she is the city lord and must remain noble and domineering, but when facing Zhou Chen, she becomes an ordinary woman, and her eyes when she looks at Zhou Chen are full of strange light.
"Yes, I am leaving."
Yu Qiu Shuang sighed softly, "I knew that a man like you would not stay here with me forever. You told me before that you came to Yucheng to find people and other people. The person you are looking for is Di Feisheng, and the person you are waiting for is Li Lianhua, right?"
"Correct."
"So now that you have finished everything, you are ready to leave. Isn't there anything here worth your stop?" Yu Qiu Shuang stared at Zhou Chen with her almond-shaped eyes, as if they could speak.
Zhou Chen said in a low voice: "I still have a lot of things to do. It is impossible for me to stay in one place now. Maybe one day when I have completed all the tasks, I will choose a place where I can feel at ease and spend my life."
"Could this place be Jade City?"
"Maybe it's Jade City, or maybe it's somewhere else."
Yu Qiu Shuang nodded: "I understand. No matter where you want to go or what you want to do, the gate of Yucheng will always be open to you, and I will always sit in the position of the Lord of Yucheng and wait for you to come back."
Zhou Chen sighed: "You should have your own life and choices."
Yu Qiu Shuang said firmly: "This is the life I have chosen. Perhaps it was destined from the moment I met you. I can't travel the world with you, but I can stay here and wait for you to return."
