Chapter 6 recounts some of the Lotus Tower plot.
Wu You recalled the plot of the TV series and remembered that more than ten days after Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng fought in the East China Sea, Shan Gudao seemed to have gone to Yunyin Mountain to tell his master Qi Mushan about Li Xiangyi's death.
Qi Mushan was practicing his martial arts when he heard the news and suffered a qi deviation, causing his power to plummet. He had no choice but to transfer his internal energy to Shan Gudao, asking Shan Gudao to go to the East Sea to find Li Xiangyi.
However, this was all a scheme orchestrated by Shan Gudao to kill Li Xiangyi, so why would he go to his rescue? In the end, Shan Gudao took advantage of Qi Mushan's inattention and killed him.
Qi Mushan's death was a huge blow to Li Xiangyi, who lived in self-blame and regret ever since.
Should Wu You tell Li Lianhua this news? And if so, how should she tell him? What if he becomes suspicious? Wu You was very conflicted.
After some thought, Wu You decided to tell him anyway, because she didn't want to see this bright and beautiful person secretly grieving over a tombstone and drinking alone.
Thinking of this, Wu You asked casually, "Brother Li, do you know Li Xiangyi?"
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua wondered why she was being asked. She replied, "Who in the martial arts world doesn't know this? It's just a pity that heroes often die young."
"Yes, everyone knows that, but it's a bit of a misunderstanding. If Li Xiangyi knew the truth, he might crawl out of the bottom of the East China Sea to take revenge." Wu You feigned anger to attract Li Lianhua's attention.
"Why are you saying this? Wasn't Li Xiangyi arrogant and conceited, and did he deserve to die? How could there be any truth to it?" Li Lianhua said to herself with a self-deprecating laugh.
Hearing Li Lianhua's self-deprecating words, Wu You felt very sorry for him: "That's not true at all. He is the light that the entire martial arts world pursues. The entire martial arts world follows in his footsteps. It's not like what you said. You are not allowed to say that about him."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything about him. But tell me what other truths he doesn't know, okay?" Li Lianhua replied casually, only slightly curious about the truth Wu You mentioned.
Finally, the topic came up. Wu You said mysteriously, "You don't know yet, do you? I heard from the underworld that Li Xiangyi's martial arts are the best in the world. The reason why he and Di Feisheng were both injured in the East Sea Battle is because Li Xiangyi was poisoned before the battle. And the one who poisoned him was Yun Biqiu, Li Xiangyi's friend from the Si Gu Sect."
"Moreover, the poison was provided by the Holy Maiden Jiao Liqiao of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. It is said to be the most powerful creation of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's Medicine Demon, and there is no antidote. As Li Xiangyi's friend, Yun Biqiu was afraid that Di Feisheng would not be able to kill Li Xiangyi and would finish him off in advance."
Li Lianhua was taken aback. He hadn't expected that the poison in the green tea was administered by Yun Biqiu. Thinking of the cup of tea Yun Biqiu had given him before the battle, he felt a tightness in his chest. Years of brotherhood were worth only a cup of poison.
Li Lianhua's voice was hoarse with some confusion: "Even if, even if the drug was administered by Yun Biqiu, it's just that Li Xiangyi misjudged people. It's not like he would crawl up from the bottom of the sea to seek revenge, is it?"
Wu You pretended not to notice Li Lianhua's unusual behavior: "You have too good a mindset. If my friend betrayed me and died, even if I didn't rise from the bottom of the East Sea to take revenge, I would turn into a vengeful ghost and haunt him day and night, making him restless every night."
Li Lianhua coughed as she listened to Wu You's words: "It still has to be you. But what I mean is that Li Xiangyi has no other enemies besides this one, so his corpse is not enough to crawl out of the sea."
"You don't know this, do you? According to even more unofficial sources, Li Xiangyi's senior brother, Shan Gudao, is actually not dead. It was all his conspiracy. He is planning to go to Yunyin Mountain and tell his master, Senior Qi, about Li Xiangyi's death while he is practicing his martial arts."
Wu You leaned closer to Li Lianhua and said mysteriously, "At that time, Senior Qi will definitely suffer a qi deviation, and then he will kill Senior Qi with one blow. In fact, he has long hated Senior Qi and Li Xiangyi to the bone and wants to get rid of them as soon as possible. Hey, do you think Li Xiangyi will find out and climb up from the bottom of the sea to take revenge?"
Li Lianhua was initially overjoyed to hear that her senior brother was still alive, but upon hearing that her master would die at her senior brother's hands, she felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. Li Lianhua hurriedly used the little bit of Yangzhou slow-acting poison that was taking effect.
Seeing Li Lianhua spitting blood, Wu You quickly jumped off the rock, looking like he wanted to help but didn't know how. He asked, "Brother Li, are you alright? Oh, I shouldn't have told you this news."
Seeing that he was healing, Wu You didn't disturb him and stood quietly by his side waiting.
More than ten minutes later, Li Lianhua finally stopped moving. Her face was no longer as pale as before, and her expression had recovered somewhat. Wu You stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, it's alright. You're still injured, so be careful."
Li Lianhua stared at Wu You for a while before speaking, "Miss Wu You, where did you hear these words? Senior Qi is Shan Gu Dao's master, how could he possibly raise his sword against him? What evidence do you have for this?"
Wu You knew that Li Lianhua suspected her, so she pretended not to know and casually said, "Who knows where the rumors came from? If you hear them, you hear them. As for Shan Gudao, I am not him, how would I know what he is thinking?"
However, I've heard that some of Shan Gu Dao's secrets are hidden in the pillow inside his room on Yunyin Mountain. I wonder if it's true or not, and when the truth will be discovered." Wu You sighed as he said this.
"Didn't Miss Youyou say she just came down from the mountain? Where did she get so much gossip? And how did she verify its authenticity?" Li Lianhua was skeptical of Wu You's gossip.
Seeing that Li Lianhua wasn't taking the bait, Wu You wasn't annoyed. Since it concerned his master's life and death, Li Lianhua would definitely go and see for herself.
"Although I just came down from the mountain, the mountain man has already devised a brilliant plan to gather information. As for whether the information is true or false, it is not important to me. Knowing more will only help me understand this world better," Wu You said with an air of profound knowledge.
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua knew that Wu You was not telling the truth, but she did not press her for answers.
Upon hearing this news, I knew I had to go and check it out. If my senior brother was really alive, I would question him. And if it was true, Master… we must save him.
Thinking of this, Li Lianhua said apologetically to Wu You, "Miss Youyou, I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of. I may have to come back to fulfill my promise to you."
Wu You knew that Li Lianhua was going back to Yunyin Mountain to investigate the truth of the matter, and smiled understandingly: "You take care of things first, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Don't worry, I'll be back in about ten days, and then we'll build the house." Li Lianhua stood up, cupped her hands in thanks to Wu You, and regardless of whether the matter was true or not, she wanted to thank Wu You. If it was true, she would definitely repay Wu You's great kindness.
"Okay, Brother Li, be careful on your way." Wu You waved to Li Lianhua.
"I know, I will be careful," Li Lianhua said, and then walked away into the distance.
