Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

A thought struck Li Lianhua, and then a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

He knew, of course, that Baichuan Academy had changed its nature.

But he had no intention of correcting the matter.

After all, that would be too exhausting.

But he had already given up hope.

"Sigh, once you step into this world, there's never a moment of peace."

Li Lianhua sighed.

"I am not asking you to rebuild Baichuan Academy as Li Xiangyi, but rather I hope that you will dismantle Baichuan Academy as Li Xiangyi."

In the martial arts world, detectives may reappear, but it's best if they don't appear in your name.

Let them build their own business instead of resting on their laurels and living off their past achievements, and not even doing so professionally.

Gu Qianbei explained.

Li Lianhua was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Let's talk about all of this after I find my senior brother.

I am simply unable to handle these things right now.

"That's natural. A place like Hyakusawain isn't worth your time and effort."

Let's deal with it after everything has settled down.

Gu Qianbei nodded in agreement.

"You seem quite concerned about my affairs."

Li Lianhua reverted to her usual lazy demeanor, her words now tinged with a hint of teasing.

"Since I've helped you, I'll naturally see this through to the end, and support you to the very end."

Gu Qianbei laughed.

Ah! There really aren't many people like you left in this martial arts world these days.

"Back when I was full of youthful vigor, I wish I had made a friend like you."

Li Lianhua sighed.

"It's not too late to get to know each other now."

Li Lianhua shook her head.

"It's different. Back then, I was arrogant and thought that the world's masters were nothing special."

Even the flute music of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, I don't really take it seriously.

Because I know he is no match for me.

But if someone like you had been there back then, I don't think I would have been so arrogant and inconsiderate of the feelings of those around me.

Perhaps many things can be salvaged.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Li Lianhua sighed repeatedly, but Gu Qianbei said, "There are indeed no 'what ifs' in this world. But as long as you're not dead, everything can start over."

Now you are like a caged bird released from its cage, ready to have a new life.

You don't have to abandon all your old friends; just reconnect with those who are truly kind to you.

I know that many disciples of Sigumen are waiting for your return.

They are all your brothers who truly care about you, so you'd better not let them down.

At the very least, let them know that you are still alive.

As for superficial friends like Xiao Zijin, it's best to ignore them.

In addition to your old friends, you will also make new friends.

For example, me, Fang Duobing, and Di Feisheng.

This world is vast; there's no need to dwell on the past.

"Yes, everything can start from scratch."

Li Lianhua looked thoughtfully at the sky.

"By the way, perhaps you should go back and visit your teacher's wife."

She has missed you a lot over the years.

"My teacher's wife... I have no face to go back and see her..."

Li Lianhua looked disappointed and uneasy.

"For parents, no matter how disappointing their children are, the greatest joy is that they are still alive."

What's more, you've never let them down.

Your master's death is not your fault; it was Shan Gu Dao who deceived and harmed him.

"What did you say?"

Li Lianhua was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

"Back then, Shan Gu Dao lied and said you were on the verge of death, which caused your master to leave seclusion early and suffer a qi deviation."

In order to save you, your master passed on all his life's skills to Shan Gudao, hoping that Shan Gudao could save you.

Little did he know that this was all a trap set by Shan Gudao, and he ultimately lost his life in vain.

"Was Master also killed by my senior brother?"

Li Lianhua's eyes widened in fury.

I never expected such terrible news.

Dan Gu Dao is absolutely insane!

They even dared to harm the master who raised them from childhood!

He had been blaming himself for so many years, believing that he had angered his master to death.

"The Lone Blade!"

Li Lianhua was so enraged that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Qianbei quickly pointed a finger at his chest to help him catch his breath.

"It happened years ago, so there's no point in you getting angry now."

Instead, we should think about how to solve the remaining problems.

Li Lianhua let out a breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"I just never expected that Shan Gu Dao would be so ruthless."

What does he really want?

Li Lianhua didn't understand.

If it's just self-reproach, there's absolutely no need to go to such lengths.

"That's a long story."

Do you remember having an older brother when you were little?

"Brother?"

Li Lianhua frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it just Shan Gudao?"

Gu Qianbei shook his head.

"No, it's your biological brother, Lee Sang-hyeon."

"Li Xiangxian?"

Li Lianhua's pupils contracted as a long-buried memory was suddenly unearthed.

He remembered.

When he was a child, he did have an older brother who loved him.

But later he fell seriously ill and began to regard his deceased brother as Shan Gudao.

Therefore, Shan Gudao never cared for him; the one who truly cared for him was always his biological brother.

He's mistaken about the person.

"What else do you know? Tell me everything."

Li Lianhua had already realized that Gu Qianbei was the one who knew everything.

He was now so eager to know the whole truth that he really didn't want to spend any more time investigating.

"Alright. Then I will tell you everything."

"During this time, you, Fang Duobing, and Di Feisheng have solved many cases and obtained a lot of Luo Motian Ice. You should also know about the Southern Yin Kingdom, right?"

"Indeed. Although the Southern Yin Kingdom has been destroyed for a long time, its foundation is still very deep."

I discovered that the Wanshengdao sect seems to have some connection with the Nanyin kingdom, which has already been destroyed.

They have also been searching for Luo Motian Ice.

Li Lianhua said in a low voice.

"The Kingdom of Nanyin is the origin of all this, and you have a close relationship with the Kingdom of Nanyin."

You are a descendant of the royal family of the Southern Yin Kingdom!

The Wanshengdao was established by the remnants of the Nanyin Kingdom.

Before your brother died of illness, he gave a jade pendant to Shan Gudao, asking him to take care of you.

The founder of Wanshengdao, Feng Qing, mistook Shan Gudao for you because of this jade pendant, and then secretly contacted him, supported him, and stimulated his ambition.

As a result, things have turned out the way they are today.

Dan Gu Dao considered himself a member of the imperial family, blessed by heaven, and was eager to sit on the throne, which is why he acted this way.

Of course, it's also true that he dislikes you.

He truly hated you to the core, which is why he devised such a vicious scheme, harming you for ten years.

After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, Li Lianhua was first shocked, and then fell into a long silence.

Finally, he smiled.

His smile was full of helplessness and mockery of fate.

"It turns out everything was wrong from the very beginning."
