Chapter 91 The Shocking Truth
"This can't be real, can it?"
"Don't tell me this is true."
"Li Xiangyi didn't drink it, did he?"
"That's an incurable poison."
"This must be fake."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanmian gripped Wu You's arm tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her face: "Youyou, is this true? Did Xiangyi really drink tea poisoned with Bicha?"
"it is true."
Qiao Wanmian instantly lost all strength and collapsed onto the table.
It turned out that he had been stabbed in the back with a knife laced with deadly poison. If it were him, even if he survived, he wouldn't want to come back.
Seeing Wu You confirm again, Fang Duobing slammed his fist on the table in anger and stood up.
"He poisoned my master, and every time he saw me, he showed no remorse whatsoever. He even acted like the head of the academy in front of me. Who gave him this confidence?"
"Girl, is what you're saying true? Why didn't we hear anything from you before?"
"Only the four academy masters, Buddha, Bibai, and Shi, know about this, and they have kept the news under wraps. As for me, I have other channels."
"I heard that the monk Yun hasn't left Baichuan Temple for the past ten years. It turns out he's afraid that if others find out the truth, they'll drown him in their spittle."
"How can such a person still be worthy of living, let alone becoming the head of an academy? He killed his own sect leader and lives off Li Xiangyi's previous prestige. This is a successful rebellion."
"These other three aren't good people either. How can they be kept around like this? Aren't they afraid of giving them a cup of poisoned green tea as well?"
"It's terrifying to think about. People like that shouldn't exist."
"Am I the only one who thinks that Jiao Liqiao's love for Di Feisheng is genuine?"
"Friend, you are not alone."
"After drinking tea poisoned with green tea, Li Xiangyi became as good as Di Feisheng."
"Above the East Sea, beneath the thunder, amidst the torrential rain, the two finally collapsed in the East Sea."
"What happened next? Di Feisheng didn't die, and Li Xiangyi didn't die either, right?"
Qiao Wanmian also stared intently at Wu You.
"Are you stupid? That's the poison of Jade Tea. Even if you weren't killed by Di Feisheng, you would still die from the poison."
Seeing the nervous look in Li Lianhua's eyes, Wu You smiled slightly.
"Some people are alive, but they are already dead. Some people are dead, but they are still alive."
"Alright, that's all for today's story. To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment."
Wu You ignored everyone present and left with a few people, concealing his merits and fame.
Didn't Bhikkhu Yun also reveal this matter? He kept it a secret for ten years. Then I'll expose him to the public and see how he responds.
The next day, Qiao Wanmian bid farewell to Wu You.
"Youyou, thank you for taking me out to relax. I should go back now. Zijin must be very worried these days."
"Sister A-Mian, are you really not going to stay a few more days? We haven't been here long."
Wu You was genuinely surprised that Qiao Wanmian was taking her leave. She hadn't mentioned it at all before. Could it be that what she said yesterday had shocked her?
"I've made up my mind, it's time for me to go," Qiao Wanmian said resolutely.
"Alright, since Sister A-Mian has made up her mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. I'll keep the room for you, and I'll give you a key too. You can come and stay for a few days whenever you want."
Wu You handed a key to Qiao Wanmian. This was a key that Nan Feng had specially requested to be added after he changed the gate.
“Youyou, this…” Qiao Wanmian hesitated.
"Here you go. Maybe I won't be home when you come. Just come in by yourself."
Without saying a word, Wu You shoved the key into Qiao Wanmian's hand.
"Thank you, Youyou."
Qiao Wanmian was truly moved, after all, she hadn't known Wu You for very long.
"No need to thank me, you're too kind. Sister A-Mian, are you going to Baichuanyuan?"
“I’m going to Baichuan Academy. I want to go and ask them.” Qiao Wanmian’s eyes were filled with hatred.
"Fang Duobing is also going to Baichuan Hospital. I'll go ask him if he wants to go today. If he does, you can all go together?"
"Okay, I'll wait a bit before I go. Let's go together."
Qiao Wanmian also thought it would be good to travel together.
"Okay, let's go find him."
"Let's go, he should be in the training hall at this time. Let's go there."
Wu You and Qiao Wanmian went hand in hand. Before they even reached the martial arts hall, they practiced swordsmanship under a peach tree in front of Fang Duobing's house.
Wu You wanted to go forward and call out, but Qiao Wanmian stopped her, so the two of them waited quietly in the pavilion next to them.
The lush peach trees, the handsome young man, his clean and crisp poses, sometimes like a dragonfly skimming the water, sometimes as solid and powerful as a rock—this scene was truly pleasing to the eye.
Half an hour later, Fang Duobing finally sheathed his sword and walked towards the pavilion.
Wu You quickly poured Fang Duobing a cup of cold tea: "Hurry up and have a cup to quench your thirst."
Fang Duobing didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down directly, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu You added more for him.
"Wu You, Miss Qiao, did you need something from me? You could have just said so. Why did you wait here for half an hour?"
"There is something, but it's not urgent. We'll just wait here."
Qiao Wanmian explained gently.
"Well, Sister A-Mian is going back to Baichuan Academy today, so I came to ask if you want to go there today. If you are, we can go together."
"Is Miss Qiao going back? Or will she stay a few more days?" Fang Duobing asked curiously.
"It's time to go back. We'll come back whenever we feel like it."
"But I was thinking of going in a couple of days."
Fang Duobing had not scheduled his visit to Baichuan Hospital for these two days at all.
"In that case, Youyou, I'll take my leave now."
Qiao Wanmian got up to take her leave. Half an hour had just passed, and it was getting late.
Wu You also got up.
"Heroine Qiao".
Fang Duobing, who was standing next to him, also stood up.
Qiao Wanmian looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Since we're going anyway, going earlier means we can come back earlier, so let's go together."
"However, I need to take a bath and change first, and then I'll tell Li Lianhua and Afei. Could Miss Qiao wait a little longer?"
"Of course." Much time has already passed, so a little more won't make a difference.
"Go quickly, we'll wait for you in the front yard." Wu You waved to Fang Duobing, and then slowly left with Qiao Wanmian.
Not long after the two arrived at the front yard, Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua, who had changed their clothes, also came over from the courtyard.
It was originally a small courtyard with two sections. Wu You's original intention was to buy another small courtyard next door and renovate it. However, the wealthy and powerful Nanfeng bought all three courtyards next door.
When Wu You found out, Nan Feng had already bought the house. The reason was that he felt the current courtyard was too small and it was unfair to Wu You. Moreover, judging from Wu You's words that he wanted to renovate so many rooms, it seemed that many friends would come to stay.
As a result, what was originally a large guest room now has two additional small side rooms. Dozens of people come to repair it every day, and Wu You and Qiao Wanmian find it too noisy, so they stay at the inn.
Yesterday, Nanfeng told me that the rooms around the main courtyard had been renovated and were ready for occupancy, with the remaining rooms to be renovated gradually. Wu Youcai brought Qiao Wanmian back to the courtyard, only to unexpectedly run into Li Lianhua and the others.
"Miss Qiao, let's go." Fang Duobing untied the reins of the two horses beside him.
"Youyou, I'll be going now, Mr. Li, goodbye."
"Miss Qiao, please take care."
"Is Sister A-Mian going to question Bhikkhu Yun?"
Wu You grabbed Qiao Wanmian's wrist.
"We really should ask." Qiao Wanmian did not deny this.
"You can ask, but Sister A-Mian must promise me that you can only question her if you have someone you trust by your side or in front of a large group of people."
"Why?" Qiao Wanmian asked, puzzled. In fact, Fang Duobing didn't understand either.
"You think someone who would poison their own sect leader has a conscience and would make an exception for you? Maybe they'll be desperate and do something drastic, and then you'll suffer the same fate, but it will be too late."
"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Qiao Wanmian wasn't sure either.
"Don't judge others by your own goodwill; we should assume the worst about someone like him."
Seeing that Qiao Wanmian still didn't believe it, and fearing that she might rush forward alone in a foolish way, Wu You quickly spoke to Fang Duobing.
"Fang Duobing, I'm entrusting A-Mian's safety to you. You can't let her face Yun Biqiu alone. Of course, the two of you alone won't do; we need to call some more people."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of him. But with my martial arts skills and the mechanical arts of Tianji Manor, how could I not face Yun Biqiu?"
Fang is often ill and may not accept it.
"He's lived more than ten years longer than you, and that Yun Bhikkhu is a master of mechanical arts, and he can also use poison. Can you do that?"
“Uh… I can’t.” Fang Duobing said awkwardly.
"Then just do as I say."
"I see."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
"Bye-Bye."
......
"If you're so worried about her, why don't you stop her from going? Besides, you could have gone with her too," Li Lianhua teased.
“This is her business; she needs to witness it with her own eyes before she can believe it. If what I said were useful, she wouldn’t have gone today if she had listened yesterday.”
"Some excitement isn't so great; what if I get accidentally hurt?"
"If you want to go, I can take you. With me here, they can't hurt you."
"I don't want to go." Wu You yawned and headed towards the rocking chair in the courtyard.
"I still prefer to lie in a rocking chair, find something to shield my face from the sun, and sleep while rocking back and forth."
"It's nice to bask in the sun, but it will get very hot soon, so don't stay in the sun then."
"I know, I know, I'll be back in a bit. You and Afei can go ahead if you have something to do, don't worry about me."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Li Lianhua didn't care how Wu You knew; he and Di Feisheng did indeed have something to do.
"understood."
The two parted ways at a corner and went in opposite directions.
Leisurely times are wonderful. Fang Duobing often came over from Baichuan Courtyard to eat and bicker with Li Lianhua and the others.
Li Lianhua kept his promise, not only modifying Di Feisheng's internal energy cultivation method, Beifeng Baiyang, but also teaching him her own Yangzhou Man.
Di Feisheng has excellent martial arts talent; in just half a month, he has mastered the two techniques.
Soon, Di Feisheng felt he was about to break through to the next realm. However, no matter what he did, he couldn't break through, as if he was being blocked by something, and he was just missing an opportunity.
Li Lianhua was also puzzled, as she hadn't encountered anything like this when she broke through her own limits.
Wu You watched the anxious Di Feisheng every day, and although he had some guesses, he didn't say anything.
Until this day, Wu You heard from Nan Feng that Yuanbao Manor was recruiting a divine doctor.
So Wu You took several photos of the Luo Mo Ding from different angles with a Polaroid camera, then selected one that allowed him to clearly see the front and guess what was behind it, and took it to Di Feisheng's room.
Unable to break through the limitations of flute playing, he practiced swordsmanship every day. The fluttering leaves were wounded by the energy of his sword strikes, wounding the heart that Nanfeng had nurtured for so many years.
Li Lianhua was leisurely drinking tea and reading a book.
"I wonder what kind of fruit tree that is. Judging from its condition, we probably won't be able to eat any this year."
"He's in a bad mood right now, so I don't dare to provoke him. Only Fang Duobing dares to go up to him."
"He's not afraid of being beaten."
"It's just a little fight, just don't get hurt."
"Fang Duobing will probably be heartbroken to hear what you say."
"You'll only be sad for a little while, you'll feel better soon."
"Pfft." Wu You couldn't help but laugh.
Li Lianhua looked up at Wu You but didn't say anything.
Wu You said seriously, "Li Lianhua, do you have any resentment towards me? Even though I knew about the things you investigated for so long, I didn't tell you."
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua put down the book in her hand and spoke in the same serious tone.
"Do whatever you want with your affairs. I won't have any objections or complaints. The matter I'm investigating is just a matter of putting in a little more effort."
"You have your reasons for not telling me. But I believe that when I'm lost, you'll still remind me, right?"
Li Lianhua winked at Wu You.
"Yes."
Seeing Li Lianhua's somewhat naive appearance, Wu You couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Call him over and sit down."
Wu You pointed to Di Feisheng practicing his swordplay. It wasn't that Wu You didn't want to call out, but he had reason to suspect that Di Feisheng might not come over even if he did, which would be awkward. Li Lianhua's call was completely different.
"Afei, come here." Li Lianhua called out to Di Fei without thinking twice.
The flute player abruptly stopped, sheathed his knife, and strolled to the table: "What is it?" His tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Have a cup of tea first, don't get so angry." Li Lianhua poured him a cup of tea.
