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

Li Lianhua fell silent, and remained silent for a long time.

He sat quietly by the river, without saying another word.

Gu Qianbei didn't disturb him, but just watched quietly from the side.

The "vixen" suddenly appeared from the side, bringing a person with her.

"Li Lianhua! I've finally found you! You bastard! You always manage to ditch me!"

But I always manage to find you.

Fang Duobing ran over with a grin, and upon seeing Gu Qianbei, asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"My name is Gu Qianbei."

"Gu Qianbei? That name sounds familiar..."

After a moment's thought, Fang Duobing suddenly realized, "I remember now! Aren't you that recently popular son-in-law of the Demonic Sect?"

Gu Qianbei was speechless upon hearing this.

Who on earth spread this outrageous rumor?

I really want to find the person behind this and give them a good beating.

"What are you doing here? You're not going to introduce Li Lianhua to be a live-in son-in-law, are you?"

I don't think he's suitable. He's too lazy and can't handle this kind of hardship.

Fang Duobing's words dealt a blow to both Gu Qianbei and Li Lianhua.

"Rumors can be deadly. I never said I wanted to be a son-in-law of some demonic sect."

Gu Qianbei complained.

"Huh? Aren't you dating Wanwan, the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect?"

Fang Duobing asked in confusion.

"It's true."

"Then the matter of the Demonic Sect's son-in-law is true."

"Um... never mind, whatever makes you happy."

Gu Qianbei didn't want to explain too much; this matter was impossible to explain clearly anyway.

"There was nothing wrong with it. By the way, what's wrong with Li Lianhua? Why isn't she saying anything?"

Fang Duobing looked puzzled, then pointed to the roast chicken he had wrapped in his hand.

"I also bought roast chicken, Li Lianhua, won't you have some with me?"

As Fang Duobing spoke, he ran up to Li Lianhua.

But Li Lianhua's eyes were red and she looked broken.

"What happened to you? Did this guy bully you?"

Fang Duobing was startled by what he saw; he had never seen Li Lianhua like this before.

"If you get bullied, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you get justice!"

After Fang Duobing finished speaking, he glared at Gu Qianbei and angrily rebuked him: "You son-in-law of the Demonic Sect, how exactly did you bully Li Lianhua?"

What a shameless person! You almost made him cry!

Gu Qianbei spread his hands, indicating that he was innocent.

Li Lianhua rolled her eyes at Fang Duobing in annoyance.

"You're shameless. You can't reason with you."

After making a complaint, Li Lianhua stood up.

"Hello?"

Fang Duobing was delighted to see that Li Lianhua was paying attention to him.

Looking at Fang Duobing in front of her, Li Lianhua felt deeply moved.

This is his senior's son, but now he regards him as his best friend.

However, his senior brother saw him as an obstacle that had to be eliminated.

Life's encounters are truly wondrous.

Of course, Li Lianhua wouldn't take his anger out on Fang Duobing because of Shan Gudao; that's not in his nature.

Right now, he really doesn't know how to face Fang Duobing, this naive boy.

"Fang Xiaobao, I've dumped you so many times, why do you still come looking for me?"

Li Lianhua said softly.

"Stop being so narcissistic! I... I'm here to find a 'vixen'."

Fang Duobing picked up the big yellow dog beside him and asked with a grin, "You vixen, have you missed me?"

"Since you like fox spirits so much, then I'll give them to you."

Since we don't like each other anyway, let's not see each other again.

As Li Lianhua was about to leave, Fang Duobing became anxious.

"What's wrong with you! Why did you suddenly turn on me like that?! You're driving me crazy!"

Can you please explain yourself clearly?

Fang was so angry he was almost at his wit's end.

How can there be such a capricious and awkward person?

Seeing that the two were about to have another argument, Gu Qianbei sighed helplessly.

"Li Lianhua, stop making decisions for others."

Although your personality has changed a lot over the years, your inherent pride remains unchanged.

What you think is good for others may not actually be good for them.

Since we're friends, we should always make things clear before letting others decide.

The truth cannot be hidden.

Especially when dealing with someone like Fang Duobing, who has a strong sense of curiosity.

You can spend ten years searching for Shan Gu Dao's corpse, and he can spend ten years exploring everything about you.

Essentially, you two are the same kind of people.

Gu Qianbei's words stirred something in Li Lianhua's heart.

Am I still too arrogant?

That seems to be the case.

Since adopting the alias Li Lianhua, his personality has changed a lot.

But what's ingrained in your bones can never be erased.

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Fang Duobing didn't understand.

"The grudges between you two are quite complicated, you can discuss it yourselves. As for this dog, let me pet it for now."

Gu Qianbei smiled and carried the vixen away, then sat down to the side and quietly watched the two negotiate.

At Gu Qianbei's prompting, Li Lianhua also gave up her plan to take responsibility for the matter alone and told Fang Duobing everything.

Because Li Lianhua knew that even if he didn't say it, Gu Qianbei would.

He had no way to stop Gu Qianbei from telling the truth.

"How...how is this possible? My father is such a despicable person?"

"You are Li Xiangyi!"

Fang Duobing looked incredulous, but what shocked him even more was that Li Lianhua was actually Li Xiangyi, whom he had been searching for.

"I did not mean to deceive you. It is because after the battle in the East China Sea, I was poisoned and my days were numbered. In addition, the Four Gates were disbanded and my spirit was broken. Therefore, I no longer use the name Li Xiangyi."

If I hadn't met Brother Gu a few days ago, who cured me of the poison from the green tea, I might not even be alive now.

He was the one who told me the whole truth.

Originally, I planned to resolve these matters on my own and then retire from the martial world, making Li Xiangyi disappear completely from the East China Sea Battle ten years ago.

I never imagined I'd meet someone so devoted to Li Xiangyi.

Li Lianhua gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Fang Duobing understood; the key to everything lay with Gu Qianbei.

Gu Qianbei seemed to know everything, resolving the confusion that had troubled Li Lianhua for many years.

He did not doubt that Gu Qianbei's words were false, because Li Lianhua was an extremely intelligent person, and if there was a problem with the truth that Gu Qianbei told, Li Lianhua would not believe it.

One was his father, whom he had never met, and the other was a chivalrous hero he had admired since childhood.

After a brief moment of surprise, Fang Duobing chose to believe Li Lianhua.

"I believe in you, so I've chosen to work with you to find my father! If he really is such a wicked villain, then we absolutely cannot let him go unpunished."

Otherwise, it would surely unleash a bloodbath throughout the martial arts world.

Fang Duobing has a low vocal tract.

"He's been hiding for ten years; he's not so easy to find."

Li Lianhua shook her head.

"It's actually quite simple. We'll go directly to Wanshengdao. Once we convince Feng Qing, finding out Shan Gu Dao's whereabouts will be a piece of cake."

At this moment, Gu Qianbei spoke up.
