Chapter 276

Was it them who let the Sect Master down, which is why he didn't appear to meet them?

Seeing Shi Shui's guilty look, Li Lianhua waved his hand and continued: "Actually, to put it nicely, it was youthful arrogance; to put it bluntly? It was acting too impulsively."

"So, at the time, many people blamed me. Although I can understand it now, at the time, I felt a bit disheartened!"

"At that time, my mind was focused on healing, and those days were indeed difficult!"

"For the first time, I knew that silver was so important!"

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but at the time, forced by livelihood, I even pawned the Sigu Sect Master's token, and only exchanged it for a mere 50 taels of silver!"

"Later on, after much difficulty, I scraped together 50 taels of silver and wanted to redeem the Sect Master's token, but when I walked to the pawnshop door, I couldn't bear to do it!"

"Later on, I learned to cook for myself and learned to grow vegetables for myself!"

Li Lianhua spoke, roughly describing the life of his predecessor to the Buddha, Peerless, White, and Stone!

These words made Shi Shui feel incredibly heartbroken!

Who is Li Xiangyi?

The number one martial arts expert in the Great Xi Jiang Hu, who reached the Grandmaster Realm at the age of only 17, and was praised by countless people as an existence destined to enter the Sword Immortal Realm!

He was a radiant existence that countless people looked up to; in the Great Xi Jiang Hu, he was like the sun hanging high in the sky!

But? Listen to what his life was like at that time? He even pawned the Sect Master's token for silver?

This is like the sun that was originally high above, being struck down and struggling in the mud!

Although Li Lianhua's tone was very flat, as if he were telling someone else's story.

But Shi Shui and the others just listening to it felt very heartbroken.

What kind of dark years were those?

Think about the dignified Sigu Sect Master Li Xiangyi, who had to pawn the Sect Master's token for a living, and had to bow his head for those few taels of broken silver.

If this were to get out, who would believe it?

With a thud, Yun Biqiu knelt directly in front of Li Xiangyi, full of regret: "Sect Master, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

Yes, if it weren't for his own stupidity back then, falling for someone else's charm, and his own stupidity, believing other people's words, how could he have harmed the Sect Master to such a state?

Growing his own vegetables, learning to cook for himself, worrying about a few taels of broken silver?

"Actually, the bitter days always have a time when they pass!"

"Slowly, one day I suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and realized a more magical martial art!"

"I cured my own Bi Cha poison, and my martial arts also advanced greatly!"

"So, I thought about traveling the Jiang Hu, and relying on the Lotus Building, I traveled to quite a few scenic spots and saw quite a few mountains and waters!"

"Then, I also treated quite a few people, and the name of the Divine Doctor gradually resounded through the Jiang Hu!"

"Recently, I had nothing to do, and I thought that many old friends were still thinking of me!"

"So, I came back, and it can be considered giving an account to all the old friends; I, Li Xiangyi, have been living quite well recently!"

Changing the subject, Li Lianhua continued to speak, giving everyone a simple explanation of his recent situation!

"The Sect Master has extraordinary talent; even after encountering a great disaster, he was able to break and then stand!" Hearing Li Lianhua's words, Shi Shui nodded heavily and said to Li Lianhua!

"Congratulations to the Sect Master, the bitterness has ended and the sweetness has come!" Ji Hanfo also congratulated Li Lianhua and was happy for him!

"Our Sigu Sect has indeed fallen apart, making many old brothers feel regretful. Now that the Sect Master has returned, our Sigu Sect's comeback is just around the corner!" Bai Jiangchun also nodded and said happily!

Yes, after ten years, the Sect Master has returned, and his martial arts have advanced further, reaching the Sword Immortal Realm. With a wave of his arm, not to mention returning to the glory of the past, the Sigu Sect could even go further, right?

A Sword Immortal, in the entire Jiang Hu, the number of people who have reached this Sword Immortal Realm is also handful!

"You misunderstood..."

Hearing the words of Shi Shui and the others, Li Lianhua shook his head and said: "I came back this time just to make an end to the past, and also to let those friends who care about me not worry, knowing that I am living quite well, that's all!"

"As for the idea of returning to the Sigu Sect, I don't have it!"

"After all, having spent these years traveling through mountains and waters, I feel that this life is actually the most suitable for me!"

"If you really care about me, you can't stop me from pursuing a better life, right?"

Li Lianhua's words made Shi Shui and the others silent!

Indeed, whether or not to be the Sect Master of the Sigu Sect is not important; living a comfortable life is the most important thing!

In the original work, when Li Lianhua was recognized by Zhan Yunfei at the Tianji Villa, what did Zhan Yunfei say?

He also felt that Li Lianhua's life state after ten years was quite good, and he was happy for Li Lianhua!

This is the attitude that only people who really care about you have!

"As for you..." Li Lianhua looked at Yun Biqiu!

"Sect Master!" Yun Biqiu faced Li Lianhua, lowering his head, looking guilty!

Originally, Yun Biqiu had spent the past ten years in guilt and self-reproach.

Now, hearing about Li Lianhua's difficult life before, it made his guilty feelings even heavier!

"Actually, at the beginning, regarding you, Li Xiangyi was indeed very hateful!"

"However, Li Xiangyi is not a narrow-minded person after all. Ten years have passed, and this hatred has gradually faded!"

"On the contrary, you have spent the past ten years in guilt!"

"If I were to just forgive you like this, presumably, you wouldn't be able to accept it yourself, right? Only punishment can alleviate the self-reproach in your heart!"

Li Lianhua looked at Yun Biqiu and spoke!

These words made Yun Biqiu nod!

Yes, when a person harbors guilt in their heart, the best way to alleviate this guilt is to let the other party punish them!

Li Lianhua's words hit the mark in Yun Biqiu's heart!

"What about the effect of the Bi Cha poison? Apart from forcing me to mobilize all my internal energy to resist, leaving me with less than one-tenth of my internal energy, the greatest torture is the loss of senses!"

"So, my punishment for you is also very simple..."

While speaking, Li Lianhua raised his hand toward Yun Biqiu!

At the same time, a red light bloomed on Li Lianhua's palm!

The ability of the Twin Hands was displayed; the red hand ability can modify the physical body at will!

A moment later, Li Lianhua lowered his hand and said: "For these ten years, my martial arts could hardly be used, so I have also sealed your Qi Sea!"

"Also, for these ten years, my senses were lost, so I have also stripped away your sense of taste, smell, and even your body's sense of touch!"

"In the future, you will not be able to smell any odors, you will not be able to taste food, and even your skin's sense of touch will be gone; if someone cuts you with a knife, you won't even feel it!"

"What I have experienced, I will let you experience as well; a ten-year period, this is my punishment for you!"

"I am willing to accept such punishment!" Hearing Li Lianhua's words, Yun Biqiu knelt down and said sincerely!

Yes, the Bi Cha poison tortured the Sect Master for ten years; this punishment of losing all internal energy and losing senses, let me also bear it for ten years.

Such a punishment can be said to be very reasonable!

Moreover, having suffered such punishment, the guilt in Yun Biqiu's heart was indeed alleviated quite a bit!

"Hmph, you got off easy!" It was Shi Shui nearby who snorted at Yun Biqiu!

It was just letting him suffer this bit of hardship, not letting him suffer the torture and beating of life, not letting him live that kind of life where he had to try his best to live for a few taels of broken silver.

In Shi Shui's view, this was already the Sect Master's mercy!

Regarding Shi Shui's words, Yun Biqiu did not refute!

He also understood that Li Lianhua's punishment for him could indeed only be considered a small punishment for a big warning!

"Alright, alright, since the Sect Master has made a punishment, let's turn the page on this matter!" Bai Jiangchun nearby spoke up!

After dealing with Yun Biqiu's matter, his return to the Baichuan Academy could be considered to have come to a temporary end.

There was no rush regarding Fang Duobing's matter; Li Lianhua opened his mouth and prepared to explain the truth of the matter back then.

But just at this moment, a guard of the Baichuan Academy trotted over and said: "Outside the gate, there is a young man asking to see you, saying he is the grand-disciple of Zhang Zhenren of Mount Wudang, Zhang Wuji, and the Golden Lion King Xie Xun of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Ming Sect!"

Hearing this, Shi Shui and the others were a bit puzzled!

People from the Great Ming Jiang Hu? The grand-disciple of Zhang Zhenren, and a Dharma King of the Ming Sect?

What's going on? Coming from thousands of miles away, how did these two get together?

And what's going on with them running to the Baichuan Academy?

"Let them in, they are here to find me!" It was Li Lianhua who spoke at this moment!

Thinking that Zhang Wuji actually brought the Golden Lion King to chase him to this Baichuan Academy? Li Lianhua was still quite happy; this was simply business crazily being delivered to his door, what could be happier than this?

"Go and invite them in!" Hearing Li Lianhua speak, Shi Shui naturally nodded and said!
