Chapter 367 Lotus Tower 26
Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi stayed with Qimushan and Qinpo on Yunyin Mountain for several days before leaving.

Before leaving, Qi Mushan quietly pulled Li Xiangyi over and told him seriously, "You little bastard, Ah Xi is a good girl. You have to treat her well. If you dare to bully her, your mistress and I will go down the mountain and break your legs."

The corners of Li Xiangyi's mouth trembled. The old man was no longer the master who loved him the most.

Now, he has a disciple-in-law whom he likes more.

However, he also likes Axi.

Since that’s the case, since the old man likes Axi more, he won’t care.

After all, A Xi is indeed likable.

"Got it, old man. You and Master's wife should keep your minds at ease. I will never bully Axi. Instead of worrying about this, you should help your apprentice prepare the betrothal gifts and then go to Axi's master and parents to propose marriage."

Li Xiangyi was a little impatient to marry his own Ah Xi.

When Qi Mushan heard Li Xiangyi's words, his eyes lit up.

He suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, it's time to prepare the betrothal gifts, and the betrothal gifts can't be less."

"Don't worry, little brat. Your betrothal gift will definitely not be less."

Qimushan danced with excitement, patted his apprentice on the shoulder, and looked very pleased.

Li Xiangyi and Ling Xi went down the mountain carrying the hopes of their master and mistress.

On the way, Ling Xi told Li Xiangyi the information he had investigated about Shan Gudao.

There was a light piece of paper in his hand, but Li Xiangyi felt that the paper was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He quickly glanced through the records on the paper, and after reading it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Brother, brother, how many things have you hidden from me?"

Li Xiangyi clenched the paper tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands, showing that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

The corners of Ling Xi's lips twitched, and he finally decided to say something.

"Xiang Yi, there is one thing I should tell you. Two years ago, the youngest son of the Changmadao He family was sent to his maternal grandfather's home by Shan Gudao. But in fact, Shan Gudao did not send the child to his maternal grandfather's home at all. On the way, Shan Gudao wanted to kill the child for the Yuntie of the He family, but the child was saved by the people I sent."

If other things made Li Xiangyi feel sad, then this incident made him completely furious.

He was extremely surprised, his eyes revealed disbelief, he held Ling Xi's arm tightly and asked: "A Xi, what did you say?"

Ling Xi knew that he did not fail to hear clearly, he just did not dare to believe it.

Therefore, she repeated her answer: "My people saw it with their own eyes, it cannot be false, Xiangyi, this matter is indeed true."

Li Xiangyi couldn't help but take two steps back. What did his senior brother do behind his back?
He had clearly promised the Lord of the He family to escort his youngest son, but he never imagined that his trust would bring about a fatal disaster for the youngest son of the He family.

If Ah Xi hadn't asked someone to follow his senior brother, the youngest son of the He family would have lost his life.

Blame him, really blame him, blame him for trusting Shan Gudao too much.

Li Xiangyi's expression trembled, and his eyes were full of guilt.

Seeing Li Xiangyi like this, Ling Xi sighed inwardly.

This was why she was unwilling to tell Li Xiangyi everything.

He is a man who values ​​friendship too much.

Friendship is good, but too much friendship will not hurt others, but only yourself. If he does not know the true face of Shan Gudao, then one day in the future, he will be hurt by this friendship and suffer unbearably.

"Xiangyi," Ling Xi held Li Xiangyi's hand. Her hand was very cold, and her knuckles were slender and white, with a faint pink color.

Resting on Li Xiangyi's broad hand, his hand was enough to completely cover her hand without leaving any gap.

"This is not your fault. You and Shan Gudao have been together for decades. The relationship between you and your brothers is not fake. You would never have thought that he was such a person. Besides, Shan Gudao pretended so well that you couldn't see it."

It must be said that Shan Gudao appears to be quite nice on the surface, being gentle and polite, so that no one can see his true face.

Otherwise, people in the martial arts world wouldn't have a favorable impression of him.

If Ling Xi hadn't had a keen intuition and asked someone to follow him, she wouldn't have been too suspicious of Shan Gudao.

"What's more, even if you weren't there, Shan Gudao would have set his sights on the He family's piece of Yuntie, and he would have tried to kill people and take the treasure. This is human greed, and it cannot be changed."

Otherwise, the He family would not have been wiped out because of that piece of Yuntie.

Li Xiangyi held Ling Xi in his arms, as if to draw warmth and strength from Ling Xi.

"Ah Xi, I understand all these principles, but I still don't understand why Senior Brother Shan Gudao did this? Do I really make him hate me so much?"

Li Xiangyi sometimes wondered if he had done something wrong, which caused Shan Gudao to resent him so much.

Hearing this, Ling Xi raised her head, smiled and touched his face, and said without any modesty, "Because he is narrow-minded, he thinks he can never be as good as you, so he is jealous of you. After being jealous for a long time, he turns to hate you."

"Of course, the fact that he hates you so much just shows that you are better than him. Think about it, if you were not so good, why would he hate you? People always hate those who are far inferior to them."

"So, none of this is your fault. You should continue to be so proud and willful, because that's how Li Xiangyi should be. He is high-spirited and makes people envy and admire him."

He became the best in the world at the age of fifteen, and founded the Si Gu Men at the age of seventeen. His martial arts skills were unmatched in the world. If such a person is not proud, who else can be proud?

If other people in the martial arts world had the same achievements as Li Xiangyi, they would have become arrogant and domineering long ago.

Xiangyi was just a little bit ostentatious, it's a normal thing, not surprising.

"You're right."

After being comforted by Ling Xi, Li Xiangyi felt much better.

He understands the principles, but sometimes he gets stuck in a rut.

"So what are you going to do with Shan Gudao?"

Ling Xi took Li Xiangyi's arm and asked curiously.

Li Xiangyi was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "For the sake of our past friendship, and for Master and his mistress, we will cripple his martial arts, expel him from Yunyin Mountain, and drive him out of Sigumen."

Ling Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, not commenting on the result.

She had long expected that Xiang Yi would not take Shan Gudao's life. He has always been soft-hearted, and they have been in love for so many years.

But it doesn’t matter. After Shan Gudao is kicked out of Sigumen, she will send someone to deal with him.

There are some things that Xiangyi can't bear to do, but she can.

Anyway, Shan Gudao has nothing to do with her.

The fact that he colluded with Wanshengdao and attempted to restore the Nanyin Kingdom was enough for her to take his life.

She is not a Bodhisattva, so she would not let someone who she knows wants to overthrow her family live in this world.
