The main reason was that the other party used his identity as the grandson of the prime minister to put pressure on Peach Blossom Pavilion by leveraging the officials in Yangzhou.

Or perhaps he felt that his status as the grandson of the prime minister was something Tang Yu should try to curry favor with.

So Tang Yu beat the man up.

Li Xiangyi was a little jealous before hearing this, but he burst into laughter after hearing it.

"Well played."

Chapter 20 Lotus Tower 20

"Has Ayu always been this resistant to persistent suitors all these years?"

This question reminded Tang Yu of something funny.

"Most of the time, they'll send gifts first to test the waters, and once they understand my refusal, they'll send a few more at most. If there's no hope after that, they'll give up on their own."

Only a small number of people don't know their own limitations and insist on using other methods to pressure me, so I will just beat them up.

After witnessing my strength, no one dared to cause any further trouble.

"But Li Xiangyi, you are the only one who didn't care at all after I hit you, and even dared to pursue me years later?"

After all, most people wouldn't dare to pursue her relentlessly after being beaten.

But when Li Xiangyi was pursuing her, he must have been prepared to be beaten up again.

After saying this, Tang Yu laughed again.

Li Xiangyi also thought of what happened back then. It was his fault back then. Suspecting, following, and speculating about the other party was originally an annoying thing.

"Because I know that Ayu is like a gust of wind, and if I don't take the initiative to take a risk, I will never be able to get close to this free wind in my life."

I bet all the chips I had at the time, even if you would hate me, just to test whether I could pursue you.

Although the wind is free, it can also gently linger at times; that was the most adventurous experience of my life.

I pretended to fall into the sea, just to see if you would save me, to see if you would accept my feelings.

"What would you have done if I had rejected you back then?"

These words made Li Xiangyi lower his head and smile gently.

"If Ayu felt disgust and hatred towards me at that time, I would apologize and leave, and I would never bother you again in this lifetime."

If it's shyness or shock, then I might take advantage of it; if it's a serious rejection, I will naturally respect it.

Liking someone is a very subjective thing, and Li Xiangyi was certainly prepared to be rejected.

"Many people fawn over me, and some look down on me, thinking that liking me is a great honor for me, and I should feel deeply honored."

Some people look up to me with a mixture of fear and humility; this is a tiring kind of liking.

What I really need is a relaxed, joyful, and carefree way of getting along.

Just as Tang Yu wouldn't think Li Xiangyi's trip to the north to see the aurora was crazy, Li Xiangyi wouldn't think Tang Yu's trip to the seabed to find pearls was a pointless and insane endeavor.

Go skiing in the snow-capped mountains, the two of you can enjoy the thrill of speeding down the mountain together and keep each other company.

Li Xiangyi devoted himself to the study of winemaking and was engrossed in jade carving as a craftsman, and Tang Yu did not think that he was unambitious.

Tang Yu doesn't cook, doesn't embroider, isn't virtuous or gentle enough, and travels around without caring about her family, yet Li Xiangyi doesn't think there's anything wrong with such a life.

Everyone has the right to choose their own life.

She could see the tenderness in Li Xiangyi's heart and feel his respect and care, so Tang Yu was willing to cherish this sincerity.

Ten days later.

Jiao Liqiao rushed to Yucheng because she had received a letter from Yu Hongzhu.

The other party said that a woman had brought a little boy who looked very much like Di Feisheng to Yucheng.

This news naturally shocked Jiao Liqiao, and she couldn't remain calm, so she led her people to Yucheng as quickly as possible.

Then, Tang Yu and Li Xiangyi abducted these people on the way outside Yucheng.

The first question that Li Qiao asked the two of them was, "Do you know where Shan Gu Dao's body is?"

Using special methods, Tang Yu directly controlled Jiao Liqiao's brain.

Therefore, no matter how much resentment Jiao Liqiao harbored, she had to honestly confess what she knew.

Then, the whole world went silent.

No, Shan Gu Dao isn't dead!

Or was it a conspiracy he orchestrated himself?

Tang Yu did not search for Shan Gu Dao because she thought he was dead and only had a skeleton.

There were so many bones buried in the ground that even the flowers, plants, and trees couldn't determine which one belonged to Shan Gu Dao.

Therefore, Tang Yu never thought he could help.

It turns out the person wasn't dead after all!

Finding someone would be incredibly easy for her!

As for the Southern Yin conspiracy, the royal bloodline, and the Myriad Saints Path, the secrets that have been revealed are more and more shocking than the last.

Li Xiangyi's heart was in turmoil, and he could hardly calm down.

Tang Yu looked at the slightly trembling palm, gently took the hand of the person beside her, and their fingers intertwined tightly.

"Don't be afraid."

Li Xiangyi clasped his hands together even tighter, and the warmth of their palms touching finally dispelled the chill in his heart.

"I'm fine. With you by my side, nothing will happen."

After saying this, Li Xiangyi continued to ask questions.

He was determined to get to the bottom of everything until he understood the full truth of what happened back then.

He then quickly knocked out the people in front of him, and without hesitation turned around and hugged the person next to him tightly.

Warm tears slowly streamed down his neck, and his body trembled with unease as he held her tightly.

Li Xiangyi had actually accepted many things, including his senior brother's hatred for him.

But he never expected that Shi Qi was actually not dead, and that it was all a conspiracy.

And he, burdened with illness and self-blame for so many years, now seems utterly ridiculous.

"Ayu, I...please hug me!"

Li Xiangyi raised his head, his eyes filled with urgency and grievance, the corners of his eyes reddening, looking extremely pitiful.

Tang Yu sighed helplessly, then gently carried the person in front of her and flew to a soft, green meadow in the distance.

Then, Tang Yu gently led the person in front of her to lie down on the soft grass.

Then, Tang Yu gently waved her hand, and countless pink peach blossoms fluttered down from the sky.

A gentle breeze rustled the grass, the sun overhead was warm and gentle, and petals fluttered down beautifully.

"Li Lianhua, from now on you are Lianhua. Although I like to call you Li Xiangyi, you have a brand new life now, right?"

"Ayu, I suddenly want to eat peaches."

Looking at the fluttering peach blossoms, Li Xiangyi suddenly had a craving for sweet peaches.

Tang Yu simply stretched out his hand and conjured a peach.

"Here, eat."

Li Xiangyi took the peach in surprise; it really was there.

"Ayu, aren't you actually the Peach Blossom Fairy?"

Tang Yu laughed out loud.

"When you need to eat peaches, I can also become a peach blossom fairy for you."

Li Xiangyi munched on a sweet peach, a gentle breeze blowing overhead, the sun gradually setting in the distance, the blue sky and white clouds still as beautiful as ever.

He reached out and firmly grasped the hand of the person next to him.

"The sun will still rise tomorrow, and that's good."

Tang Yu sat up, then picked up the flute and placed it to her lips, and a melodious flute sound immediately rang out.

It was a very warm piece of music, the notes like the warm sunshine of spring, gently caressing the heart.

It sounds like a clear mountain spring, its tinkling notes crisp and melodious.

It was like a gentle kiss, intimate and tender...

Li Xiangyi listened quietly, then nestled his head on the lap of the person beside him with deep affection.

After a long while, Tang Yu put down his flute.

"Do you prefer me to call you Li Xiangyi or Li Lianhua?"

"It's all good. They are all me. I don't need to deny anyone's existence."

Ayu, I accept my past self, forgive my past self, and feel sorry for my past self.

Now, let's start by settling old scores.

There's nothing wrong with accepting all of yourself, good and bad.

"what are you planning to do?"

"Kill the Medicine Demon first."

Tang Yu smiled instantly.

"Very well, revenge is the only right thing to do."
