"Go on, keep talking."
"Ms. Qiao, I just said that the person you saw five years ago was me, and the painting I left for you was also drawn by me. The handwriting was my imitation of Xiaohua's handwriting. As for why I did this, I think you two smart people should be able to understand."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. She certainly understood. It was because of this painting and the graceful steps she saw during the pursuit that she firmly believed that Li Xiangyi was still alive and had been longing for Li Xiangyi to return.
"I was the one who picked up Xiaohua on the shore of the East China Sea. Later, he went to Sigumen and came back in a daze. Every time..."
Qiao Wanwan was very surprised when she heard Zhou Chen's words: "Xiangyi, have you been back to Sigumen?"
Li Lianhua nodded silently, but Zhou Chen spoke for him.
"The first thing he did when he woke up at the East China Sea was to go to Si Gu Men. After going there, he seemed like a different person. I don't need to guess that he must have felt that the responsibility was on him, so he didn't show up because he felt guilty and sad."
"Xiang Yi, have you really gone back? In fact, I had a vague feeling at that time that you seemed to have returned."
Qiao Wanwan's eyes were filled with sadness. Even after ten years, she still remembered the tragic scene at Si Gumen.
"Awan, it's okay. It's all in the past. I've figured it out now." Li Lianhua was indeed relieved as he said.
Zhou Chen said: "Let's go back to what happened five years ago. The reason why I did that is very simple. Xiaohua has always been with me, so I know who he cares about the most. A few years have passed, but he still often mentions a name in his sleep, and that is you, Miss Qiao."
"As Xiaohua's best friend, I certainly couldn't bear to see him sad, so I took the initiative to write that calligraphy and then led Lady Qiao to the Lotus Tower. But I didn't expect Xiaohua to be so cowardly at the time. You were right in front of him, but he didn't dare to recognize you."
Qiao Wanwan immediately looked at Li Lianhua again. Li Lianhua looked embarrassed. He was really scared at that time and did not have the courage to recognize Qiao Wanwan.
"Lady Qiao, you can't blame him for this. He just doesn't want to burden you. He was poisoned by the green tea. The poison has entered his body and he only has about ten years left to live. So he doesn't want to burden you, so he's avoiding you."
"What? Only ten years left to live?"
Qiao Wanran's delicate body trembled, and she held Li Lianhua's hand tightly, and asked nervously, "Is what he said true?"
Li Lianhua nodded with a heavy face: "Master Wu Liao also knows about this matter. It was him who pulled me back from the brink of death. If it weren't for him saving me, I might not even have ten years to live."
Qiao Wanwan asked in a trembling voice: "Then, are you okay now?"
"No."
After saying that, Li Lianhua fell silent, not daring to look at Qiao Wanwan.
Qiao Wanwan just felt dizzy, but she forced herself to calm down and hugged Li Lianhua with a distressed look on her face.
"Xiang Yi, no matter how long you have left, you must let me stay by your side, okay?"
Li Lianhua didn't say anything. Zhou Chen said, "Xiaohua is very decisive in other matters, but he is very indecisive when it comes to his relationship with Miss Qiao. You don't have to despair. We are now doing our best to help him find the Forgotten River Flower that can cure him. As long as we can find the Forgotten River Flower, he will have a great chance of recovery."
"Really? Xiangyi." Qiao Wanwan asked expectantly.
Under her hopeful gaze, Li Lianhua could not resist and could only nod.
Seeing that Li Lianhua and Qiao Wanwan only had eyes for each other, Zhou Chen quietly left the room and considerately closed the door for them.
Zhou Chen met Di Feisheng at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Zhou Chen, he immediately asked, "Is he in there having a love affair with Qiao Wanwan?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Almost. Speaking of which, Ah Fei, have you ever had a woman? I heard that the saint Jiao Liqiao in your Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance is a great beauty who is no less beautiful than Qiao Wanwan, and she is deeply in love with you."
"boring."
Di Feisheng snorted coldly, showing great disdain for this. In his eyes, Jiao Liqiao was just a subordinate who was not very obedient. Feelings? There was no such thing at all.
"You two, one of you spends the whole day complaining about yourself and talking about love, and the other does nothing all day and doesn't practice martial arts. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Zhou Chen showed no sign of weakness: "How do you know I haven't practiced martial arts? How about we have a fight now?"
"Okay, that suits me just fine."
Di Feisheng's eyes lit up, and Zhou Chen was not willing to be outdone. The two of them left Pudu Temple one after the other.
The two men found a remote place and started fighting directly. The fight lasted for several hours. Since it was not a life-and-death fight, there was no winner.
Li Lianhua, on the other hand, talked to Qiao Wanwan about his innermost feelings for a long time before he remembered to investigate the loss of the Young Master's Sword. Then he went to look for Zhou Chen and Di Feisheng, but could not find them.
"Where did these two go? Why are they so unreliable?"
In the end he had no choice but to investigate on his own. Qiao Wanwan didn't want to leave, so Li Lianhua had to take her with him.
With Li Lianhua personally taking action, and with the help of a healthy Qiao Wanwan, the fake monk who stole the young master's sword was no match for him and was soon found in the underground tunnel.
In anger, this man wanted to use Qiao Wanwan's asthma weakness to subdue her, but how could Li Lianhua give him this opportunity? In anger, she killed him directly.
Li Lianhua brought Qiao Wanwan back to Pudu Temple and told her his plans and ideas.
"Awan, I'm going to look for my brother's remains, so I can't reveal my identity now. Once I reveal my identity, I won't have peace. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Qiao Wanwan asked hesitantly, "Are you going to hide it from Fobi Baishi and the others? Are you worried about Yun Biqiu? He was the one who poisoned you back then."
"I don't care about what happened back then. I just don't want to go back to being Li Xiangyi. Now I am Li Lianhua, and I just want to live as Li Lianhua. If you are willing, Awan, we can live an ordinary life together, grow some vegetables and flowers every day, cook by ourselves, work from sunrise to sunset, and no longer care about the martial arts world, nor think about the great wish of helping the world and bringing peace to the world. We can just live a simple life. Are you willing?"
Although Qiao Wanwan already knew that her attitude had changed, she still couldn't get used to what Li Lianhua said.
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes, I really think so. If you are willing to give me this opportunity, I will never be like before. I just want to stay with you and live a simple life that belongs to us."
"I am willing."
Qiao Wanwan hugged Li Lianhua excitedly.
She was initially attracted by Li Lianhua's brilliance, but as time went by, this halo slowly faded in her heart, and she realized that what she needed was not the great hero who was dedicated to the world, but a man who was willing to stay with her, care about her, love her, and understand her, even if this man was not a so-called great hero.
Li Lianhua also hugged Qiao Wanwan excitedly. It was the first time that he confided his true feelings to Qiao Wanwan. He was extremely excited when he got Qiao Wanwan's affirmative answer.
How resentful he was of Zhou Chen's behavior before, now he is so grateful to Zhou Chen.
He understood that without Zhou Chen's help, his fate with Qiao Wanwan would have ended, but Zhou Chen managed to renew their fate.
Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something.
"But Baichuanyuan already knows what happened in Yucheng. Were you the one who fought with Di Feisheng in Yucheng?"
"It's not me, it's Achen. He has learned all my skills and is no worse than I was back then. He was the one fighting with Di Feisheng."
Qiao Wanwan said softly, "It seems that you and Zhou Chen are really good friends. You even gave him all your martial arts skills. You were not so generous before."
Li Lianhua blinked: "Wasn't I generous before? I remember when I got something fun or delicious, I couldn't bear to give it away and gave it all to you. Isn't that generous?"
"That's different."
"Okay, Awan, whatever you say is right. I will learn to be more generous in the future."
"You don't have to be generous to everyone, but you must be the most generous to me." Qiao Wanwan looked serious.
Looking at her cute and lovely appearance, Li Lianhua couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead. Qiao Wanwan blushed with embarrassment and leaned in his arms.
"Li Lianhua, I'm telling you, the Young Master's Sword has been found..., I, I..."
As soon as Fang Duobing came in, he saw this shocking scene. He jumped up in shock and pointed at them with an expression of disbelief.
"Li Lianhua, Lady Qiao, you, you two? What's going on?"
Fang Duobing was so shocked that he began to speak incoherently. Without waiting for Li Lianhua to speak, he quickly closed the door and left.
Fang Duobing trotted away and stopped after walking a long way, patting his chest nervously.
"Li Lianhua and Qiao Wanwan, this doesn't seem right. Why is Li Lianhua with Qiao Wanwan? Did he drug Miss Qiao?"
Just as Fang Duobing was lost in thought, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Fang Xiaobao, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Fang Duobing raised his head stupidly, and when he saw Zhou Chen, he immediately said in a hurry: "Zhou Chen, let me tell you, I just saw Li Lianhua and..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly realized that this matter should not be spread randomly, so he quickly changed his words: "Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about something, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After walking a few steps, he realized something was wrong. What did Zhou Chen just call him, Fang Xiaobao?His family just called him that, why did Zhou Chen call him that?
Zhou Chen seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Fang Duobing had discovered the relationship between Li Lianhua and Qiao Wanwan, but he probably didn't know that Li Lianhua was Li Xiangyi, otherwise he wouldn't have this attitude.
"hiss."
He suddenly felt waves of pain in his body, and he grimaced and cursed, "This Ah Fei fights like a mad dog, he's really ruthless, it hurts me to death."
He cursed in his heart, but he felt happy when he thought about how Di Feisheng was beaten by him and couldn't get up for a long time.
Although Di Feisheng's martial arts skills are higher than his, he has not recovered to his full strength after all. The most important thing is that Di Feisheng's pure physical fitness is not as good as his, so when it comes to the final hand-to-hand combat, he still has a great advantage.
This battle lasted for several hours, and he gained a lot from it.
At his current level, practicing martial arts step by step is already making very slow progress. Combat with a strong person will make faster progress than practicing in seclusion alone. This is why those martial artists who have encountered bottlenecks will challenge others everywhere.
He returned to the guest room arranged for him by Master Wu Liao, and began to sit cross-legged, practicing his internal energy and summarizing the gains from the battle just now.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1091: Master Sword, Beating Yun Biqiu
In the guest room, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Sure enough, fighting with a strong person now will make me progress faster than practicing alone in a boring way."
Not only sword techniques, but also internal strength are equally effective. His internal strength is now very deep. Relying solely on meditation and practice, the progress is very slow. A battle of several hours with Di Feisheng almost exhausted him. After high-intensity use, it has improved a bit faster.
The night passed quickly. After a night's rest, the pain in my body was almost gone, and my martial arts skills improved a lot.
After washing up and having the vegetarian meal brought by the little monk, Zhou Chen went to the guest room where Li Lianhua was.
To his surprise, he arrived at a perfect time, as several deans of Baichuan Academy happened to come to visit Li Lianhua in her guest room.
They had just arrived and had not had time to say a few words to Li Lianhua.
"Xiaohua, you have a guest."
When Li Lianhua saw Zhou Chen coming, she immediately introduced him with a smile: "Three Deans, this is my good friend, Zhou Chen."
Ji Hanfo and the other two glanced at Zhou Chen with a rather cold attitude and just nodded.
"Master Zhou."
Zhou Chen also replied coldly: "The three deans are very busy, I wonder what you are doing in Xiaohua's room today?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen's tone was not very polite, Ji Hanfo and the other two frowned slightly. However, when they thought of the purpose of their visit, Ji Hanfo smiled again.
"We are here to thank Dr. Li for recovering the Shaoshi Sword for our Baichuan Academy and getting rid of the thief who stole the sword."
"Really? Just to express my gratitude, the three deans came in person. Baichuan Academy is really polite."
Ji Hanfo and the other two didn't quite understand Zhou Chen's aggressive tone, but they could tell that this person was not friendly to them.
But Ji Hanfu was a very respectable person, and he seemed not to have heard anything at all, and continued to say with a smile: "Divine Doctor Li has helped us so much, and as the owner, of course we have to thank him."
Bai Jiangquan smiled like Maitreya Buddha and tried to smooth things over: "Yes, Divine Doctor Li helped us so much, we should come to thank him in person. Before, when Divine Doctor Li picked the silk flower, we promised to let him try the Young Master Sword, but he ended up trying a fake one, and we felt bad about it. Now that we have found the real Young Master Sword, we want to make up for it, so we brought the Young Master Sword here and let Divine Doctor Li try it."
Li Lianhua knew Zhou Chen best. She knew that Zhou Chen was a fearless person. He was very nice to people he cared about, but he would not be polite at all to people he disliked.
He was afraid that Zhou Chen would say something else that would really offend Ji Hanfo and the others, so he hurried to persuade him.
"Ah Chen, the three deans are well-intentioned, but Dean Ji, you are too polite. I am just a wandering doctor with no martial arts skills. I got the opportunity by accident. The Young Master Sword is very valuable, so let's forget it."
"How can that be done?"
The person who spoke was Yun Biqiu. It was his idea to test Li Lianhua this time. He had already taken out the Shao Shi Sword and placed it in front of Li Lianhua.
"Divine Doctor Li, this is the real Young Master, please."
Li Lianhua smiled awkwardly: "The three dean masters are really good at joking. I really am not qualified to handle this sword. Forget it."
Yun Biqiu insisted, "Dr. Li, you are too serious. Just give it a try. It will be fine."
Seeing Yun Biqiu's firm attitude, Li Lianhua looked hesitant. At this moment, Zhou Chen suddenly spoke.
"Xiaohua, I am quite interested in the Young Master's Sword. If you don't mind, how about giving me this opportunity?"
Li Lianhua immediately smiled: "Okay, three dean, Achen is my best friend, he is also a martial arts expert, it would be best if he could test the sword on my behalf."
Yun Biqiu flatly refused: "I'm afraid this is not possible."
Bai Jiangquan said with a smile: "What he meant was that Divine Doctor Li won the first prize, so how could he let others try the sword? That's not right, that's not right."
Ji Hanfu also smiled and said, "Yes, Doctor Li, don't be polite. It's just a try. It's nothing."
Their attitude made Zhou Chen sneer: "Why, is there any forced sword test?"
Bai Jiangquan said, "Young Master, you have misunderstood. We have no intention of forcing you. We really just want to fulfill our promise. We have spoken in front of our fellow martial artists that Doctor Li has won the first prize. If we do not allow him to test the sword, and the news spreads, the martial arts community will laugh at our Baichuan Academy."
"Since Xiaohua got the opportunity, what's wrong with him giving it to me?"
"this."
