Chapter 253 The Eagle Blade Has Arrived in the Hands of the Most Suitable Person (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Silent all night.

After everyone packed their belongings, Feng Xinglie harnessed the donkey cart to the door.

Xi Yingzhen saw them to the door and said with a smile, "Shaoyang, this old Taoist will not go to the Dual Cultivation Mansion with you."

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "Elder Xi, we know you want to protect the villagers of Taohuadian. Thank you."

Hongxiu took a step forward and gave Xi Yingzhen a big hug, saying, "Grandpa, when I come back I'll bring you delicious food, good wine, and good tobacco!"

Xi Yingzhen chuckled and said, "It's my granddaughter who's thinking of me the most!"

Ding'an, who was standing to the side, scratched his head, wanting to go forward and say something as well.

But then Xi Yingzhen suddenly turned his head and stared at Ding An for a while, then shook his head and said, "Silly boy, just don't make me angry."

Upon hearing this, Ding'an lowered his hand and chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "Alas, Master Xi always misunderstands me." For a moment, he wrinkled his nose, feeling sullen and unhappy.

After waving goodbye to Xi Yingzhen, everyone headed to Huangzhou Wharf together.

After walking for half a day, it was evening when we saw a large ship docked at the pier. The ship was dark, with white sails like clouds, and a crocodile dragon was embroidered on the sail.

Dressed in pristine white, Li Ruohai stood tall by the dock, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the sea. Upon seeing the group arrive by car, he couldn't help but laugh heartily and went to greet them.

Ren Shaoyang got out of the car and said with a smile, "Old Li, this boat is quite good."

Li Ruohai said, "The brothers in the sect are quite skilled in business and have amassed a considerable fortune."

"Master!" Feng Xinglie bowed to Li Ruohai, and Gu Qianlian, who was standing next to him, also bowed.

"Qianlian, there's no need for such formalities." Li Ruohai nodded to Feng Xinglie, then smiled at Gu Qianlian, "I haven't yet expressed my gratitude to Qianlian for taking care of my young disciple."

Looking at Li Ruohai's handsome, godlike face, Gu Qianlian blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "It's what I should do, it's all what I should do."

At this moment, Hongxiu and Ding'an walked over, and the little beggar said with a smile, "Uncle Li, it's getting late. If you want to exchange pleasantries, there's plenty of time on the boat."

Everyone laughed, and Li Ruohai said with feigned anger, "You little rascal, you're just trying to embarrass me."

Hongxiu laughed and said, "Oh dear, I'm so hungry my stomach is practically sticking to my back, I'm in a hurry."

Li Ruohai sighed repeatedly: "You are even lazier than Shao Yang."

"Old Li is wrong!" Ren Shaoyang laughed. "Hongxiu is loved by everyone and flowers bloom for her. Her laziness is just that she doesn't care about the opinions of ordinary people."

Everyone laughed again, but Li Ruohai coughed and suddenly said, "It's getting late. Let's talk about it on the big ship!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the sky.

But it was already dusk, and looking up, all I could see were white waves flying, with the sky and water reflecting each other.

White clouds chase waterbirds, rainbows accompany the rosy clouds.

Upon seeing this expansive scene, everyone felt a sense of ease and joy, their spirits soaring.

Just as they were about to board the ship, Ren Shaoyang and the little beggar frowned and turned around to look.

But then, amidst the bustling crowd at the dock, a monk dressed in white, carrying a sword, appeared before them.

This man was dashing and elegant, his sleeves fluttering as he walked. People passing by the dock would all avoid him. The white-robed monk walked along a straight line, like a sharp sword pointing forward, until he reached Li Ruohai.

When Gu Qianlian saw him, she lowered her head, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

The white-robed monk stood before the crowd, raising one palm: "I am reluctant to meet the three villains, Brother Li."

"Humph!"

Li Ruohai's face was as cold as ice as he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky.

The two seemed to be old acquaintances, but they had great conflicts with each other, to the point that Li Ruohai didn't even want to talk to him.

Hongxiu looked at Ren Shaoyang without speaking, but her eyes revealed a gossipy glint, conveying the message: "A romantic entanglement?"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled: o(*￣▽￣*)o
The little beggar looked at him again: "About the Dual Cultivation Mansion?"

Ren Shaoyang nodded: "Definitely!"

The two exchanged a smile and parted contentedly.

At this moment, Bu She looked embarrassed and sighed softly, "Brother Li, I also have my reasons for dealing with Ning Qing."

"Hmph!" Li Ruohai snorted coldly, "You are unfaithful, disrespectful of martial arts, and burdened with sins. What right do you have to stand before me?" He flicked his sleeves, turned and walked towards the ship, not bothering to see him at all.

The situation became awkward for a moment.

Ren Shaoyang sighed: "Why did you have to provoke Lao Li?"

Reluctantly shaking his head, he said, "Although I am burdened with karmic entanglements, I cannot stand idly by and watch the Dual Cultivation Hall perish."

Ren Shaoyang said, "Your martial arts are now half gone. Going to the Dual Cultivation Mansion is just courting death."

"Amitabha!" Bu She chanted a Buddhist prayer. "In this world, there are things one should do and things one should not do. But I cannot escape them." He smiled at Ren Shaoyang, "Just like the heroic act of Ren Jianshen blinding Pang Ban in one eye, wasn't that also an act of 'doing something'?"

Ren Shaoyang shrugged and said, "I'm just vindictive."

Reluctantly, he smiled and said, "Let's judge by actions, not intentions."

Ren Shaoyang nodded, then suddenly asked, "Your Eight Factions Alliance was recently attacked by Fang Yeyu?"

Bu She was secretly alarmed and asked in surprise, "Ren Jianshen already knew about what happened last night?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "I had this suspicion when Chi Mei killed Ma Junsheng early yesterday morning."

Reluctantly, he said in a deep voice, "In this battle, Chi Mei, Fang Yeyu, the Red Sun Dharma King, along with the Four Secret Masters of Qinghai and Tibet, and 'Wanli Hengxing' Qiang Wangsheng, and other experts launched a surprise attack, causing heavy casualties among the seed masters. If it weren't for Meng Yao, Xiao Ban, Han Bai, and others fighting to the death, I'm afraid we would have been completely wiped out." "Oh?" Ding An stepped forward, "Was Xiao Bai also involved?"

"Hello, Emperor Li Dao." Bu She greeted him and continued, "Benefactor Han's swordsmanship is superb. He has done a great job in restraining Li Chi Mei and has made a remarkable contribution."

"Ha!" Hongxiu clapped her hands and said happily, "Yesterday he was no match for Li Chimei, but at night he was able to hold back the demon. Xiao Bai has not disgraced us after all!"

Ren Shaoyang nodded and smiled, feeling very gratified.

"So, Benefactor Han is actually a descendant of the Three Fiends?" Bu She was somewhat startled, then suddenly realized, "No wonder he possesses such astonishing skills!"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "Brother Bushe, I would like to ask you for a favor."

“Sword Master Ren, please speak.”

"Xiao Bai was framed for killing Xie Qinglian of Changbai, but it was actually a trap set by Ma Junsheng in order to seize the Eagle Knife."

Ren Shaoyang then explained the whole story with reluctance, and finally said, "Xiao Bai needs to prove his innocence. For our sake and because he saved your life, please give him a chance to prove his innocence."

Ren Jianshen paused, then emphasized, "A fair chance."

Reluctantly, he shuddered, his expression instantly turning serious, and he fell silent.

After a long pause, the white-robed monk nodded and said, "This humble monk understands." He then bowed to the crowd and turned to leave.

Ding An watched his departing figure, somewhat puzzled: "This guy is so conflicted."

The little beggar nodded and said, "Yes, it looks carefree, but it's actually very painful."

At this point, Gu Qianlian finally told everyone the whole story.

It turns out that Bu She was the dual cultivation partner of Gu Ningqing, the master of the dual cultivation mansion. He had grown his hair back to secular life and changed his secular name to Xu Zongdao. He was taken as a husband by Gu Ningqing and studied the secret methods of dual cultivation. After Gu Ningqing gave birth to her daughter Gu Zixian, he quietly left.

This action not only angered Gu Ningqing, but also made Gu Zixian hate Bu She to the core.

Li Ruohai had a close relationship with the Shuangxiu Mansion, and Gu Ningqing had always been in love with this most handsome man in the world.

However, Li Ruohai was a blockhead, indifferent to beauty, and treated Gu Ningqing as a younger sister, so the two could only be destined to be apart.

However, although Li Ruohai could not become Gu Ningqing's husband, he could not bear to see her suffer, so he looked down on her and was reluctant to let her go.

Li Ruohai felt that this person was fussy, unfaithful, and disrespectful of Shaolin Kung Fu. If it weren't for Gu Zixian's sake, Li Ruohai would have stabbed him to death long ago.

As they boarded the boat, they talked and sighed over the loves and hates of the previous generation.

Just after boarding the ship, Ren Shaoyang suddenly turned his head to look at the sea.

A dog crept around, and Fat Tiger, carrying a long box on his back, secretly climbed onto the boat and huddled in a shady spot, covering his head and lying down.

Ren Shaoyang chuckled and asked, "Little beggar, what's that thing behind Big Meow?"

Hongxiu sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, scanning the sea, and said without turning her head, "Xiao Bai gave it to me."

Ren Shaoyang was taken aback and said, "Eagle Knife?"

Eagle Knife?

Upon hearing the name, everyone was astonished and focused their attention on the grotesque tiger.

Even Li Ruohai, who was talking to the short and stout Shang Liang, was drawn in and looked up.

Ding An said, "The Eagle Blade? It's the legendary sword of the Eagle Grandmaster who shattered the void?"

“That’s right!” Li Ruohai interjected, “It is indeed that thick-backed sword that holds an unparalleled secret!”

"Wow!"

Ding An's eyes lit up, and his prosthetic hand suddenly stretched out. With a "whoosh," it extended several feet and grabbed Fatty Tiger in mid-air.

This startled everyone.

Li Ruohai took a deep look at Ding An's prosthetic arm and sighed, "Ding An's mechanical arm is truly extraordinary!"

Ding An chuckled, opened the box, and saw a seemingly unremarkable thick-backed longsword.

"This...this is the legendary Eagle Blade?"

"Huh? Isn't this the thick-backed sword I left in the Han family's armory?"

Gu Qianlian and Feng Xinglie's voices rang out one after the other, and the two stared at each other for a long time.

Suddenly, Feng Xinglie let out a muffled groan, his face turned deathly pale, his hands and feet trembled slightly, and he fell backward.

"Xinglie!" Gu Qianlian exclaimed and rushed forward to support him.

Just as Gu Qianlian exclaimed in surprise, Ren Shaoyang reached out and grabbed Feng Xinglie's wrist. With a swift movement, he arrived at the room on the deck and placed the convulsing Feng Xinglie on the bed.

Li Ruohai walked in, reached out and took his pulse. He felt the pulse was rapid and taut, and his expression darkened: "Pang Ban's Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique has started to take effect again."

Ren Shaoyang nodded, and with a "whoosh," fine blue threads shot out from the ring on his left hand, drawing the Divine Spider Sword!
Ren Jianshen sneered: "Right now, three strange forces are fighting each other within his body, unable to be resolved or forced out. I will use the 'Heavenly Music' method to go with the flow and make some adjustments!"

Li Ruohai raised an eyebrow: "Shaoyang's 'Heavenly Music' can even control true qi?"

“True Qi and Blood Qi, though invisible and intangible,” Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly, “have their own rhythm. Since they have rhythm, the sounds of nature can naturally harmonize them and make them flow smoothly!”

"Although it can't cure the root cause, it can hold out until we reach the Dual Cultivation Abode!"

After Ren Shaoyang finished speaking, he tore open Feng Xinglie's clothes with his right hand, and the Divine Spider Sword in his left hand transformed into more than a dozen thin threads, which were then inserted into his acupoints.
