"Don't worry, Baichuanyuan is fine. Baichuanyuan recently got a sword, so he invited all the old friends of Sigumen to hold a sword appreciation meeting. This sword is the sword that benefactor Li used to carry with him, Shao Shi."
Hearing this, Li Lianhua's expression moved slightly. This sword was indeed his most important companion back then, so even after ten years, he still felt excited when he heard that it had been found.
Wu Liao continued, "During the battle in the East China Sea, Young Master fell into the East China Sea with Donor Li. A few years later, someone fished in the East China Sea and found the sword. After that, the sword was sold around until it returned to Baichuan Courtyard. It has been used forty-three times. This is the fate of a famous sword. Donor Li, don't you think that the sword should return to its owner's hands?"
Li Lianhua said calmly, "This sword must find a good master again. Achen is a good master."
Seeing that the topic actually revolved around himself, Zhou Chen immediately retorted: "Don't bring me up, it has nothing to do with me. And Master, I personally think that you think too well of people's hearts. You said that Baichuan Academy found the young master because he still cares about Li Xiangyi; but in my opinion, this is only a small part of the reason."
"They want to use this sword appreciation contest and Li Xiangyi's name to strengthen their own momentum. If they really care about Li Xiangyi, they will not do such a thing with such fanfare. Instead, they will keep the young master well and wait for its master to return."
Wu Liao smiled and said, "What Donor Zhou said is also a possibility, but Pudu Temple and Baichuan Temple were built on the same mountain. I know the temperaments of the deans. They are not that kind of people. Donor Li should know this best."
Li Lianhua nodded and said, "Fobi Baishi is definitely not such a person."
"Haha, then I heard that the green tea poison you were infected with was given by Yun Biqiu."
Li Lianhua asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
Of course he had known about this for a long time, but he had never told Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said calmly, "Of course I have my channels, Xiaohua. I admit that most of the people in the Sigu Sect that you led back then were loyal and righteous. But as for some people, it's hard to say. They poisoned their own sect leader. It's really a big joke that such a traitor is still alive and continues to serve as the dean of Baichuan Academy."
"Donor Zhou, I have also heard about this matter. In fact, Yun Biqiu has been secluded in Baichuan Courtyard for nearly ten years. I rashly guessed at that time that he was the one who poisoned Donor Li with the green tea. After knowing that you were in trouble, Yun Biqiu regretted it and rushed to the East China Sea to look for you for several months but to no avail. When Dean Bai found him, he did not even try to resist and was pierced through the chest by Dean Bai's sword."
"Fortunately, Dean Ji found out in time that he was indeed bewitched by the demon and did not really want to harm you, so he sent people to rescue him. However, Yun Biqiu has been imprisoned in the area for ten years and refused to forgive himself."
Zhou Chen laughed again when he heard this: "Master, I understand what you mean. Buddhism emphasizes turning back and becoming a Buddha right away. But in my opinion, this also depends on the person. You said that Baichuan Academy found out that Yun Biqiu didn't really mean to harm Xiaohua. This is really a joke."
"Back then, Xiaohua led the Si Gu Men to fight against the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. Although Xiaohua was number one in the world, he had to face the most powerful opponent in the world, Di Feisheng. Even if Xiaohua was in his prime, he could not guarantee that he could win against Di Feisheng. In the end, Yun Biqiu also poisoned him. After being poisoned, Xiaohua dueled with Di Feisheng. Anyone could guess the result. How could Yun Biqiu not guess it? But he still chose to do so, which means that in his eyes, pleasing Jiao Liqiao of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance is far more important than Xiaohua's life."
"As for what he did afterwards, it was even more of a joke. If he had committed suicide to apologize, I would still respect him as a hero, which means he really realized his mistake. But in fact, he searched for several months, but this behavior may be due to guilt, but more for his own peace of mind."
"As for the fact that he confined himself to Baichuan Academy for ten years, it was probably for self-protection. You have to know that Xiaohua had many followers in the martial arts world back then. If the news that he poisoned Xiaohua spread, who knows how many people would come to seek revenge on him."
"But he is in Baichuan Academy, and Baichuan Academy has kept the truth about his poisoning Xiaohua a secret, and continues to let him serve as the dean of Baichuan Academy. What does this mean? It means that in the eyes of the other deans, the living Yun Biqiu is far more important than the dead Li Xiangyi."
"Enough, stop talking, Achen." Li Lianhua looked unhappy and wanted to stop Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen did not listen to him this time, but continued: "Xiaohua, I admire your broad mind. You can take it and let it go, but the facts are facts. We cannot expose the mistakes of a person who made a mistake just because he knows he is wrong. It is because we met after the battle of the East China Sea. If we knew each other before and became friends, I would definitely kill Yun Biqiu and no one could stop me."
"Amitabha."
Master Wu Liao said softly.
"Donor Zhou is indignant for his friend, and I admire him very much. Donor Li is lucky to have a good friend like Donor Zhou. But Donor Zhou should know that you should forgive others when you can. When will the cycle of revenge end? No one is perfect. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them."
Zhou Chen said: "Master, what you said is right, but some people can be forgiven for some mistakes, while some people cannot be forgiven for some mistakes. If everyone in the world knows they are wrong and makes mistakes first and then corrects them, then the world will become a purgatory on earth, and there will be no law and justice, and peace in the world."
"Amitabha, Mr. Zhou hates evil and has a straightforward personality. He is truly a rare talent. But if everyone in the world seeks revenge for their own hatred and grievances for their own grievances, how can there be justice in the law and how can there be peace in the world?"
"Master, you want to debate with me." Zhou Chen smiled.
"How can I win the argument with you? You are extremely intelligent, which is rare in my life, so I cannot bear to see you go astray."
"Haha, Master, you are compassionate and have good reasoning. I admire you very much. But maybe we have different education and experiences, so we have different views on things and ways of dealing with things."
Li Lianhua looked left and right.
"Just talk about the matter. What are you two arguing about here? I didn't say anything about my own affairs, but you put me aside and started arguing among yourselves."
"Let's not talk about this topic anymore. Old monk, tell me about the Lion Soul quickly."
"Amitabha, Mr. Zhou, I am obsessed with appearances."
"Master, you don't have to be like that. What you said is not wrong. It's just that we are standing at different angles and looking at things in different ways. Just like two brothers from the same mother, they will also have differences, let alone us."
"A man like Mr. Zhou is rare in the world. I admire him."
Wu Liao is truly compassionate. Although he does not quite agree with Zhou Chen's views, it does not prevent him from valuing Zhou Chen as a person, nor does he think that Zhou Chen is necessarily wrong.
"Master Li, if you want to find Huiyuan, you must meet Lady Qiao, because it was Lady Qiao who released some of the members of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance who had never done evil. Huiyuan was one of them. Lady Qiao should know his whereabouts."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Master, it seems that we both have the same opinion on bringing Xiaohua and Qiao Wanwan together."
"Just say less." Li Lianhua, who was in a depressed mood, said directly.
A little monk came in with vegetarian food and invited Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua to join him. Li Lianhua took a look, smiled and said, "Your cook is a greedy person," and then left with Zhou Chen.
Di Feisheng also came to join them. He also found out that the matter of Lion Soul was related to Qiao Wanwan, so he decided to go to Baichuan Courtyard. Li Lianhua had no choice but to follow Zhou Chen and Di Feisheng to Baichuan Courtyard.
When they arrived at Baichuan Courtyard, the three of them had no invitation or introducer, and were stopped at the door. Fortunately, Fang Duobing came out at this time and led them in.
After entering Baichuanyuan, Fang Duobing took Li Lianhua away to meet his most respected master.
Zhou Chen and Di Feisheng strolled around Baichuan Courtyard.
Today's Baichuan Courtyard is indeed very lively. People coming and going are all martial artists wearing swords and knives. Among them are some martial arts masters with bulging temples and profound internal skills.
"A lot of people have come, but Ah Fei, what do you think they are here for? Fame, reputation, to watch the fun, or Li Xiangyi?"
Di Feisheng said coldly: "It has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That's a good answer. To be honest, when I was a kid I really yearned for the martial arts world and wanted to become a martial arts master. But now, I feel that it's just that. People always yearn for a life they never had."
Di Feisheng, who was wearing a mask, looked at Zhou Chen with a strange expression: "Why are you telling me this? I only know that my goal is to be the highest in martial arts."
"I really envy you."
A pure person like Di Feisheng does live an easy life, because he is always moving forward on the path he wants and does not have many worries. It can be said that he does not care about those worries at all.
"It's inexplicable. The sword appreciation competition is about to begin, why hasn't he come back yet?"
Zhou Chen felt like he was talking to a stone. The sound of the flute did not give him any feedback at all. It was like playing the lute to a cow.
"Yes, then it's coming."

Chapter 1089: Sword Appreciation Conference, Qiao Wanwan Showdown
Under the hospitality of Baichuan Academy, everyone gathered at the training ground in the middle, and the center was protected by the disciples of Baichuan Academy.
There was a wooden platform several meters high, with an object covered with red silk placed inside, and a large red silk flower placed on the top.
Many martial artists were standing around the martial arts arena, their eyes full of anticipation and curiosity. Li Xiangyi's reputation was too loud, but after all, ten years had passed, and most of the martial artists who came here had never seen the Young Master's Sword.
Following the sound of gongs, a group of people came up to the stage in front of the martial arts arena. They were the deans of Baichuan Academy, as well as the famous female hero Qiao Wanwan and the great hero Xiao Zijin.
As soon as they appeared, the originally noisy and bustling martial arts arena quickly returned to silence, and everyone looked at the people on the stage.
Dean Ji Hanfo is the first dean of Baichuan Academy, and can also be said to be the master of this place, so after everything was ready, he walked out.
"My fellow martial artists, I believe you all know me. Today, we at Baichuan Academy invite you all to come here to admire the swords."
"Young Master has been silent for ten years. He was able to be found and reappear in the world. This was all thanks to the help of friends in the martial arts world. Even more fortunately, two old friends have been working hard to help him."
As he spoke, he pointed to Xiao Zijin and Qiao Wanwan beside him: "Hero Xiao, Lady Qiao."
Under the gaze of many people in the martial arts world, Qiao Wanwan did not show any fear. Her eyes were slightly red as she slowly spoke, "After so many years, we are very relieved to find the young master who never left Xiangyi's side during his lifetime. Today, I hope that the people in our martial arts world will not forget the ideal of punishing evil and promoting good, and bringing peace to the world, and live up to Xiangyi's wish."
After saying this, she couldn't help but shed tears. Although she was very sure that Li Xiangyi was not dead, she had not seen the real person after all.
In fact, in addition to agreeing to the requests of several deans for this sword appreciation conference, she also had her own ideas. She felt that Li Xiangyi cared a lot about his young master, and if he knew that the young master would appear today, he would definitely show up.
So, she was waiting, expecting, and longing for Li Xiangyi to appear.
Seeing Qiao Wanwan so grief-stricken, Xiao Zijin couldn't help but want to come over to comfort her, but Qiao Wanwan raised her hand to stop her.
Their relationship is now just better than that of friends, and is far from the level of lovers, because Qiao Wanwan can never let go of Li Xiangyi in her heart, especially in recent years, she has been waiting for Li Xiangyi to appear with great satisfaction.
The martial artists around were talking about it, and many of them were inspired by Qiao Wanwan's words.
Li Lianhua's eyes were also red at this time, and only Qiao Wanwan was left in her eyes.
Di Feisheng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I never knew your woman really understood you."
Li Lianhua had a complicated expression when she heard this, and whispered, "She has always been outstanding, but..."
It's just that he only had the world in his heart and ignored Qiao Wanwan, which is why Qiao Wanwan experienced such grief.
When Xiao Zijin saw that Qiao Wanwan wouldn't let him get close, his expression changed slightly, but in front of so many fellow martial artists, he still held on.
"I am honored to witness the return of Young Master's Sword to the light of day with all of you."
Following his words, the people from Baichuan Academy immediately went over and removed the red silk covering the young master's sword, revealing a precious sword with a scabbard.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the Young Master's Sword. This was the magic weapon of the world's number one master in the past. In the eyes of all martial artists, it was a priceless treasure and extremely legendary.
Fang Duobing, who was standing with Zhou Chen and the others, was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Look, it really is the Young Master's Sword. It really is my master's Young Master's Sword."
The fellow martial artists around were also talking about it.
"It's really the Young Master's Sword. I saw it once ten years ago. It was exactly the same."
"Li Xiangyi is truly a legend. In his hands, the Shaoshi Sword is the most powerful weapon in the martial arts world."
"Li Xiangyi used the Xiangyi Taijian that he created himself. He fought a battle that shocked the martial arts world. It is said that in order to make Miss Qiao smile, he tied a red silk thread several feet long on the hilt of the sword and practiced a set of thirty-six swords on the roof of Jiangshan Xiaoroof in Yangzhou. It attracted thousands of people."
"It is said that countless onlookers came just to witness the sword strike with their own eyes. Li Lianhua, you three have gained a lot of experience today."
Li Lianhua's eyes were blurred, and she unconsciously recalled the scene at that time. After hearing Fang Duobing's words, she snorted.
"It's just my childhood mentality. I do things too exaggeratedly."
Fang Duobing turned his head immediately, but before he could say anything, Di Feisheng continued Li Lianhua's words and said, "Yes, it's so ostentatious."
Zhou Chen also found it funny, so he followed up by saying, "Not only is it ostentatious, it's also embarrassing. But that's right, he himself doesn't feel embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed."
The three of them said something each, which made Fang Duobing very angry.
"Hey, what's your attitude, you three? This is a height you can't even dream of. I think you're just jealous."
At this time, Xiao Zijin on the ring spoke again.
"If you want to have fun, you can come up to the stage and compete. Within one stick of incense, whoever picks the silk flower last can personally try out the Young Master's Sword as long as he does not fall off the stage."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. Countless people in the martial arts world who admired Li Xiangyi were all surprised and began to get restless.
Li Xiangyi's loyal disciple Fang Duobing was extremely excited. He jumped onto the wooden platform first, followed by several other figures.
The scene was suddenly extremely lively, with people rushing towards the wooden platform one after another, wanting to try out the Young Master's sword.
Zhou Chen and the other two stood together, and Zhou Chen whispered, "You used your Shao Shi Sword to do this. Your former subordinates really respect you enough."
Li Xiangyi knew that Zhou Chen was speaking sarcastically, so he didn't respond.
Di Feisheng said: "Why don't you go get your sword back? Don't forget, there is still an unfinished duel between us, and you, Zhou Chen, must be involved."
Zhou Chen responded: "Of course, but we can fight anytime, but Xiaohua you have to deal with him first."
"I will find the Forgotten River Flower. As for you, if you just stay like this, you will never be able to surpass Li Xiangyi."
"Thank you for your reminder. I know that I learned his sword skills and martial arts, but that doesn't mean I will be weaker than him."
"You have good comprehension and talent, but you haven't found your own path in martial arts yet."
"Are you praising me or belittling me?"
Li Lianhua was not surprised to see Zhou Chen and Di Feisheng chatting. He knew that both of them were martial arts fanatics, but in terms of experience in martial arts, Di Feisheng was indeed more advanced.
Seeing that the incense stick time was about to expire, Di Feisheng suddenly slapped Li Lianhua on the body. Li Lianhua was caught off guard and had no time to react. He was slapped straight towards the wooden platform. He quickly took a mask from the waist of one of the gangsters.
But just as he was about to put it on, a sudden force came and shattered the mask.
"Achen, I hate you!"
So, Li Lianhua rushed straight towards the unsuspecting Fang Duobing and knocked him off the stage. All his previous opponents had been knocked off the stage by Fang Duobing, so now only Li Lianhua was left standing on the stage, and the silk flower fell into Li Lianhua's arms.
Just in time, the time of one stick of incense has come, and the winner is Li Lianhua.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Lianhua, and he smiled awkwardly.
Fang Duobing was stunned: "Li Lianhua, how did you get up here? And how did you knock me down?"
Li Lianhua held the silk flower in her arms and cursed Zhou Chen and Di Feisheng a hundred times in her heart, but the arrow had already been shot and there was no turning back.
At this time, Baichuanyuan, who served as the referee, immediately announced the result.
"When the time comes, the fallen flowers will have their owners."
Li Lianhua showed an awkward and impolite smile, but his eyes were a little evasive. It would have been fine if it was other people, but the eyes of those familiar people on the ring really made his scalp tingle.
Although his appearance and body shape have changed, he still has some shadows of the past. What's more, his appearance now is too coincidental. Everyone in Baichuan Academy is smart, so it is impossible for them not to suspect him.
