EBE Chapter 90 What is the truth?
Chapter 90 What is the truth?
Wu You's mouth was dry from talking, so he prepared to pour himself a glass of water.
Looking up, Wu You saw that the table she was sitting at was surrounded by a large number of people, some sitting and some standing, all staring at her. Wu You was startled.
He didn't even notice when these people surrounded him.
Li Lianhua placed a cup of tea in front of Wu You: "They gathered around shortly after you started speaking. Seeing that you were in high spirits, they didn't disturb you."
"Young lady, please continue. Did the Black Dragon find the Azure Lotus after its reincarnation? Did it continue its cultivation, become an immortal, and ascend to Mount Ling?"
"You really dare to dream big, attacking Mount Ling! Haven't you heard that Mount Ling has thousands of Buddhas?"
"Yes, if you ask me, it's better for the two of you not to go to Mount Ling. You can't win, and once you're inside, you won't be able to escape. It's better for the two of you to travel around elsewhere."
"Yes, once Qinglian obtains the inheritance and her cultivation level increases, we'll overthrow Mount Ling."
"My friend, that's a great idea. Here, take this pen and write it down."
...... ......
“Young lady, please continue your story. I’m thirsty, shopkeeper. Bring some more good tea. I’ll pay for this young lady and her friend’s bill today.”
A well-dressed man exuded an air of extravagance.
"okay."
"How dare you steal business from someone else's turf?" came a question from the back of the crowd.
"Shut up."
He was quickly covered up and couldn't make a sound.
"Didn't you want to talk about the East China Sea Battle? Although it's a good story, it really has nothing to do with Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng."
Fang Duobing was clearly more interested in what secrets his master held.
"What? This is actually about the East China Sea War? Could the Azure Lotus and the Black Dragon be Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng?"
"Good idea."
"As expected, they are all from the Immortal Realm. Even without their previous memories and with only mortal bodies, they can still become the best in the world."
This statement has been agreed upon by many people.
"Could Qinglian be Li Xiangyi, and Heilong be Di Feisheng?"
"Perhaps Qinglian is Di Feisheng, and Heilong is Li Xiangyi?"
"Impossible. Li Xiangyi has bright eyes and white teeth, and is handsome. How could he possibly be a black dragon in the form of a dragon?"
"Why not? Black Dragon was able to fight his way out of that dark forest because of his martial prowess. He is definitely the number one in the world."
The people present quickly split into two factions.
One faction supports Li Xiangyi as the Chaos Green Lotus, while Di Feisheng opposes the Black Dragon of the Dark Forest.
One faction supports Li Xiangyi as the Black Dragon and Di Feisheng as the Green Lotus.
Both sides were emotional and impassioned, constantly trying to persuade others to agree with their views.
Upon seeing this scene, Wu You regretted speaking nonsense.
"Esteemed guests, please make way while I serve the storyteller some tea and snacks."
The waiter's voice came from behind.
The arguing party immediately stopped and made way for the waiter to pass.
The waiter approached, first stacking the empty plates on the table together, and then placing another set of delicate pastries on the table.
Wu You and the others looked at each other, speechless.
"Young lady, please continue. We are all eager to know what happens next."
A man dressed as a scholar bowed to Wu You.
"Shall we continue?" Wu You glanced at Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng, and seeing that they didn't react, he said.
The two who noticed Wu You's gaze seemed to be serious this time, feeling their secrets were about to be exposed. It seemed this mask would be welded to their faces from now on.
Di Feisheng: Li Lianhua, can I leave here first? I really can't stand it any longer.
Li Lianhua: Don't even think about leaving. We came together, so naturally we'll leave together. Just sit down.
Li Lianhua reached under the table and stopped Di Feisheng, who was trying to leave early. She couldn't let him go; otherwise, she'd be left to face everything alone.
"it is good."
"Please continue."
"I'd love to know too."
"Yeah yeah."
"Me too."
The people present were all talking at once, and Wu You and the others stopped talking before slowly speaking.
"The blue lotus and the black dragon have long had their past life memories sealed away by the Meng Po soup, so naturally they don't know who they are."
"Speaking of Li Xiangyi, he was also from a prominent family, but because of one incident, his parents died tragically, and he and his brother were left to wander the streets when he was just over three years old."
Li Lianhua looked at Wu You, her voice trembling slightly: "Are you telling the truth?"
"I don't know much about his parents, but he does have an older brother."
The matter of Li Xiangyi's parents is too complex to discuss, so Wu You skipped over it.
"That......"
"Li Xiangyi's older brother's name is Li Xiangxian. He is about ten years old and struggles to support himself, yet he also has to support his younger brother who is over three years old. Every day, he takes his younger brother out early and returns late, just to exchange for two steamed buns."
"The little boy was always hungry and soon got sick from exhaustion. He died from a high fever. Before he died, in a dilapidated temple, Li Xiangxian gave his younger brother his family heirloom jade and entrusted him to Shan Gudao, who was the same age as him."
"Li Xiangyi forgot his older brother because he was too young. As for Shan Gudao, he lost his memory due to a high fever and thought that the jade was his."
Li Lianhua reached out and grasped Wu You's wrist: "Is Li Xiangyi's brother, Li Xiangxian, really dead?"
"I don't know. No story is entirely true. Some are three parts true and seven parts false, while others are seven parts true and three parts false. It all depends on how you distinguish them."
Qiao Wanmian looked at the somewhat agitated Li Lianhua, and doubts began to rise in her heart. Could it be...?
"After that, Shan Gudao was wandering the streets with three or four-year-old Li Xiangyi. Later, Qi Mushan found them and took them back to Yunyin Mountain. The two became fellow disciples. Everyone knows what happened after that, so I won't go into details."
"What about Di Feisheng? You know about Li Xiangyi's childhood, but do you know about Di Feisheng?"
Fang, who was ill, raised his hand to speak.
Di Feisheng: Li Lianhua, don't stop me. Either let me go, or shut her up.
Li Lianhua: I didn't stop you. She said Di Feisheng, what does that have to do with you, Afei?
Di Feisheng: If you didn't stop me, at least move your hand off my leg.
Li Lianhua quietly drank her tea, refusing to look at the flute playing.
Wu You only noticed Di Feisheng's shifting gaze, but didn't understand his exchange with Li Lianhua. Since he didn't intervene, it seemed he wasn't refusing.
"Speaking of which, this Di Feisheng is also a pitiful person."
Flute Flying Sound: How could I not know how pitiful I am?
Onlookers: Is Di Feisheng pitiful? Does that great demon have the right to say he's pitiful?
"Di Feisheng doesn't know his origins. In his memory, he was trained to be an assassin when he was very young. Every year, dozens or even hundreds of children are sent there just to train the best assassins."
"No one knows the origins of the children there. They may be orphans, beggars, kidnapped, or even their parents were killed by them, who only took a liking to their martial arts talent."
"Most of the children are very young and don't remember where they came from. In the assassin training camp, they not only have to endure brutal training every day, but also face death. Because the people who cooperate with you today may be asked to fight each other tomorrow, and only one can survive."
"The people there have to fight with all their might just to survive. Some people have tried to assassinate the family head who doesn't seem to be good at martial arts, but they have all failed."
"Why? Isn't the patriarch supposed to be bad at martial arts? How could someone who trains every day not be able to kill him?"
Some people have raised questions.
Di Feisheng recalled that once his friend was killed and he was about to assassinate him, but he was captured and saw the man shaking the bell at his waist.
The bell rang, and a splitting headache struck him, making him extremely uncomfortable. He had no choice but to leave quickly. Only when he was far away did the headache subside, so he eventually fled the place.
"That's because before those children enter there, they are fed a flying insect egg. The egg grows and hatches on the body when it comes into contact with flesh. And the head of the family has a treasure that can control these flying insects."
"He always carried the treasure with him. Before the assassin even got close, he would shake the treasure, and the flying insects would fly around inside the person's body, chirping incessantly. The person would then be in unbearable pain and unable to stand."
Di Feisheng was somewhat surprised. Over the years, he was the only one who had escaped from Di Family Fortress, but he had never told anyone outsiders how Wu You knew all this, and how it was nine-tenths true.
Is that really a flying insect inside my body?
Li Lianhua glanced at Di Feisheng's expression and guessed that Wu You might be telling the truth.
The onlookers were astonished and sighed in surprise.
It's disgusting to think about eating live insect eggs. And there's a flying insect inside me. Oops, I quickly shook myself.
"Later, Di Feisheng escaped from there in order to master unparalleled martial arts so that he could go back and avenge his former friends, the dead children, and his former self."
“Indeed, Di Feisheng is also pitiful. He was locked up there since he was a child. Even though he escaped, the flying insect in his body is still there. If he were to meet that family head again, he would probably not be well received.”
"Yes, although he is the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, it is likely that he would not have grown into who he is today if it weren't for what happened in his childhood."
"Yes."
"You're right."
Di Feisheng: I don't need anyone's sympathy, stop talking.
"Aren't you overthinking it? That's a ruthless killer who killed countless people, including the number one swordsman in the land, Li Xiangyi."
"Correct."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Flute's sound: Ah, fickle people.
Fang Duobing: Hmph, what's so pitiful about him? His men killed my uncle and harmed my master. We are mortal enemies.
"After escaping, Di Feisheng diligently practiced martial arts and even created his own martial arts manual, 'Sad Wind White Poplar,' which propelled him into the top ranks. He then continuously challenged the masters listed in the 'Ten Thousand Masters Register.'"
"I thought that if I could become the number one martial artist in the world, then the assassin organization would no longer be able to do anything to me, and I could take my revenge."
Di Feisheng: Although I want revenge, that's not what I mean. Li Lianhua, let go of me, I won't leave.
Li Lianhua: Really?
Di Feisheng: Seriously, we've pretty much covered everything. What difference does it make whether we stay or leave?
Li Lianhua calmly withdrew her hand.
"Later, when challenging a master on the list of ten thousand people, he rescued Jiao Liqiao who had been captured. Jiao Liqiao was instantly captivated by the sound of the flute and, seeing that he always went alone, she created an organization for him that everyone feared, the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance."
Di Feisheng: Isn't your direction a bit off?
"Wow, a hero saves a damsel in distress, is captivated by the beauty, and then the beauty conquers the world and gives it to him. This is definitely a plot that only exists in storybooks."
"Yes, just the few things that need to be said about Di Feisheng and Jiao Liqiao could fill hundreds of thousands of words."
"You could also say it was during the years when the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance and the Holy Maiden fought together throughout the martial arts world."
"You two brothers have excellent writing skills. Here, take the pen and we'll write it. We'll wait and see."
"Yes."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Starry eyes.
Li Lianhua pressed him down tightly: "Ah Fei, calm down. They were just saying it casually. They are just some commoners who don't know martial arts. Don't be violent."
Di Feisheng: Let go! How dare you spread rumors and damage the reputation of the Dao in front of me! They must be taught a lesson.
Li Lianhua: Take a deep breath. You are Afei now, not Difeisheng.
"Now it's time to talk about the East China Sea Battle that no one in the martial arts world knows about. I've been waiting for this for so long. I want to see what secrets my master is hiding."
"These four, Buddha, Bi Baishi, and others, were once members of the Si Gu Sect and are now the abbots of the Bai Chuan Academy. That Bhikkhu Yun is very fond of the Holy Maiden Jiao Li Qiao of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, and the two have met privately quite a few times."
"On the eve of the East China Sea War, Jiao Liqiao came to Sigu Gate again, and she brought with her the poison developed by the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's Medicine Demon, the Green Tea Poison."
"Hiss, the poison of the green tea."
"That's not the most potent poison in the martial arts world. There's no antidote. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that."
"Wouldn't that mean Yun Bhikkhu was covering for Jiao Liqiao to drug the people of Sigumen?"
"No, Yun Bhikkhu is a member of the Sigu Sect, he would not do such a heinous thing."
"Maybe, otherwise why would Jiao Liqiao bring her to Sigumen?"
"Ahem, all because of Jiao Liqiao's words: 'I have the antidote. After Your Excellency becomes the supreme master of the martial arts world, you will have a place by my side.' So, Yun Biqiu personally handed the tea poisoned with Bicha to his sect leader, Li Xiangyi."

Lotus Tower Small Theater
At the entrance of Baichuan Hospital, Fang Duobing led dozens of people to knock on the door.
Fang Duobing: Bhikkhu Yun, come out here for us.
Yun Bhikkhu: Fang Duobing, why are you causing trouble at the entrance of Baichuan Temple with these people?
Fang Duobing: Bhikkhu Yun, we have come here with a question that we would like you to answer.
Cloud Bhikkhu: You speak.
Fang Duobing: Ten years ago, before the East China Sea battle, did you poison my master Li Xiangyi with Bi Cha? Just say yes or no.
Cloud Bhikkhu: ...Yes.
Fang Duobing: Heroes from all walks of life, Yun Biqiu has personally promised, go forth, just spare my master's life.
Fang Duobing was the first to rush forward and slap Yun Biqiu across the face.
