Li Lianhua looked at the sea with a calm expression and smiled slightly. Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng who had arrived at the beach were speechless looking at Li Lianhua's back and even the dog named Hulijing was silently staring at Li Lianhua.

Suddenly someone landed beside Li Lianhua and took Li Lianhua away in an instant. Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing were shocked to see him but the two quickly chased after the person before getting far away.

@hut

"You want to run away again? I'm telling you, Li Lianhua. It's not easy to escape from me. After you recover, you want to go anywhere then I won't get in your way. Your body is still very weak and needs rest." grumbled the man in bright green clothes.

"If I don't escape then you will make yourself die to save me." Li Lianhua said annoyed. The man laughed. “Are you stupid? I won't die easily. You…” The man's words trailed off and soon came out.

"Two people on the beach." The man said looking at Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing coldly. "What do you want?!" Fang Duobing asked to the point. "What ...?" The man's words were cut off.

The sword came out of the scabbard swiftly and passed through the gap halfway between Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng. Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng were quite shocked. His movement speed was too fast in an instant that the man's shadow was not visible anymore.

"You two, come inside." Li Lianhua said coming out. Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng immediately approached Li Lianhua without prompting a second time.

Fang Duobing immediately checked Li Lianhua's body. "Are you hurt?" Fang Duobing asked worriedly. "I'm fine." Li Lianhua said. "Who is him?" Di Feisheng asked seriously.

"You can ask him." Li Lianhua said looking at the man in green who had returned with bloody clothes. "I'm warning you, if you run away again. This time I will break your legs." The man said just looking at Li Lianhua.

Fang Duobing immediately warily looked at the man. "Why don't you introduce yourself first?" Li Lianhua's suggestion. "Zhang Qingyuan." Said the man in green and then went to the backyard.

"How come I've never heard of this name?" Di Feisheng said strangely. "Come in and have a seat." Li Lianhua said. Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng followed Li Lianhua in.

Fang Duobing immediately checked Li Lianhua's pulse and was shocked. "You're cured." Fang Duobing said happily. "If he doesn't recover, he's already in the grave by now." Sarcastic a woman dressed in red enters. Hulijing followed women into the house. Li Lianhua smiled looking at Hulijing. Hulijing sat quietly after finding a comfortable spot for her."Who are you?" Fang Duobing asked alertly. Di Feisheng also did the same thing.

"You haven't told them yet?" asked the woman frowning. "This is the Zhang Qingyuan you guys met earlier." Li Lianhua said laughing. "Are you a girl? I thought you were a boy." Fang Duobing said in shock.

Qingyuan stared at Fang Duobing in disbelief. "You really didn't tell those two?" Qingyuan asked in disbelief. Li Lianhua just smiled.

"I just disguised as someone else and I'm a guy. Are they your friends?" Qingyuan asked seriously. "Yes." Li Lianhua said honestly. "He shouldn't be using his inner strength any time soon." Qingyuan said took a box and an ID and put it on the table.

“This box contains my father's flexible sword and this ID belongs to my father who shares the same name as you, Li Lianhua. This box also contains a mask that you can wear. My father has never shown his true face to anyone. He has a shop called Light store and also Light Restaurant. Those people don't know so you are safe from them." Obviously Qingyuan was flat.

"Then I've bought you a supplement. Want to take it for a week. After that don't use internals within a week. Then you should be fine." Qingyuan added.

"What if he uses his inner strength?" Fang Duobing asked seriously. "Then he will need three months to fully recover even up to a year." Qingyuan said flatly.

"This is the first time, I see you talk so much. You want to go?" Li Lianhua asked seriously. "You found your friend so looking after you is done. I have important business to attend." Qingyuan said then left.

A man enters again. "Where is young master?" asked the man surprised. "Zhang Han, your young master is gone." Obviously Li Lianhua. "Brother Li, I hope you don't violate the rules set by the young master. He cares about you very much and also very grateful to you for helping him ten years ago." Zhang Han explained.

"I have one question. Why was his body frozen like ice last night?" Li Lianhua asked seriously. "Everyone in the young master's family have this disease. Don't worry, he will be fine. You have also seen that he is fine." Zhang Han said awkwardly.

"Is it because last night he channeled his inner energy into me that he became like that?" Li Lianhua asked. "That's right, so I hope Sect Master Li can take care of your conditions for young master. The Zhang family has always paid their debts and the young master has already paid for it. Even though we are a family of assassins, we will still repay those who helped us." Zhang Han said seriously before leaving.

"I know, they are a well-known family in Jianghu who people called Jianghu cleaners. Everyone who harms Jianghu they will exterminate. I thought they were all dead but they are still alive." Di Feisheng said calmly.

"The Zhang Family is just him alone. The branch families are rebelling against him. The people who have come are sent from the branch families." Obviously Li Lianhua was calm. "But I heard the news, the last descendant has died a few months ago. Many people are very happy with the news." Fang Duobing was clearly confused.

"Fake corpse, it's a work of art. The assassin that was sent made into him instead. Of course, the branch house knows it's not him but a rare opportunity will definitely be seized." Obviously Li Lianhua.

"It's time for lunch. I'll cook and boil your supplements too. Director Di, take care of him." Fang Duobing said casually. Di Feisheng nodded.

Without realizing it, two weeks passed quickly. Di Feisheng had already returned to the Jinyuan Alliance. Fang Duobing and Li lianhua also Hulijing prepared to leave. Li Lianhua wore a mask and kept the sword Qingyuan gave him as well as his ID.

Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua came to their senses. Everyone in Jianghu knew Li Xiangyi was dead so they didn't want anyone to know that even if it reached the palace it would be troublesome. It seemed that Qingyuan clearly knew their situation.

On their way, Fang Duobing received a mission to go to the Zeng family's mansion. Left with no choice, the two and hulijing head there.

---Zeng Mansion---

"We are from Baichuan Court." Fang Duobing said. The maid motioned for Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua to come inside. A woman stared at them flatly.

"What does Baichuan Court have to come to my house for?" Hong Mei asked smiling sweetly but her eyes could show that she was disturbed. "I came to investigate your husband's death case." Fang Duobing said calmly.

"No need, you can leave." Reject Hong Mei. "Let them check it out." the woman said. Having no choice Hong Mei let Fang Duobing enter. The woman suddenly held the hand of Li Lianhua who was passing by.

Li Lianhua was taken aback before smiling. "A Yuan, long time no see." Li Lianhua said. The woman smiled and removed her hand. Fang Duobing came back out after hearing Li Lianhua's words. "You changed face again?" Fang Duobing said in disbelief.

Qingyuan just smiled. Hong Mei who didn't find Fang Duobing came out after him. "You guys know each other?" Hong Mei asked suspiciously. "No, but he's so handsome. Of course I should have a few words with him." Qingyuan said casually as he winked teasingly at Li Lianhua.

"Remember your position." Hong Mei said sadistically. "Come with me." Hong Mei added. The three of them walked behind. "Why do you say you don't know us?" Fang Duobing curiously asked in a low voice. "I'm investigating something, don't get in my way." Qingyuan whispered dryly.

After arriving, Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua were busy carrying out the autopsy while Qingyuan looked at Hong Mei with piercing eyes. Hong Mei didn't dare to look at Qingyuan. Qingyuan came out of the room and looked for Hulijing who was outside.

Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua finished with the autopsy and went out to look for Qingyuan. They found Qingyuan smiling while stroking Hulijing cheerfully. They approached Qingyuan.

"I have a question for you." Fang Duobing said. "Okay, let's go eat first." Qingyuan said standing up. "Where are we going?" Fang Duobing asked. "Eat after that, come with me somewhere." Obviously Qingyuan left.

The three of them ate at a noodle shop on the side of the road. Qingyuan gave Hulijing snacks to eat. After finishing, Qingyuan took them to an empty house. Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing looked suspicious of Qingyuan.

"Fang Duobing, you come with me. Li Lianhua, you go into the house first." Qingyuan said. Li Lianhua nodded after Fang Duobing took a look. Hulijing went with Fang Duobing and Qingyuan.

@ old well

Qingyuan stepped on a trap to deliberately make Fang Duobing fall into a hole near the old well. Qingyuan approached the hole. "Learn diligently." Qingyuan said smiling. Qingyuan winked at Hulijing before leaving. Hulijing sat waiting for Fang Duobing at the side not far from the hole.

Fang Duobing was very angry but it didn't last long because Fang Duobing was busy with the various weapons in the hole.

@House

"Where's Fang Duobing?" Li Lianhua asked. "Catch." Qingyuan said throwing a book at Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua caught the book quickly. "I'm sorry. But calm down, I will help you guys." Qingyuan said then stepping on a trap made Li Lianhua fall into the pit. "The book will help you get out of the existing formation." Qingyuan said calmly.

"What do you want to do?" Li Lianhua asked. "I want revenge. You once said you don't want to go back to being Li Xiangyi. Then I will grant it, I will make you completely Li Lianhua. Li Lianhua, main owner of Light store and also Light Restaurant." Qingyuan said before leaving.

Li Lianhua opened the book Qingyuan gave him. The book contains all the possible martial techniques belonging to the Zhang family. After reading through everything, Li Lianhua saw a face at the end of the book which was the same face as his. Li Lianhua was shocked.

"I will break this formation." Li Lianhua said. Lianhua took out his sword then followed the book's instructions and managed to destroy the formation and get out of the hole. "Li Lianhua" Fang Duobing shouted looking for Li Lianhua. Hulijing ran in front of Fang Duobing "Fang Xiao Bao, I'm here." Li Lianhua said. "You're okay aren't you?" Fang Duobing asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. We have to stop him." Li Lianhua said. "Him? Why?" Fang Duobing asked annoyed. "He wants revenge." Li Lianhua said. Fang Duobing's eyes widened. The two arrived at Zeng's Mansion.

Zeng's Mansion is full of corpses. Qingyuan half knelt down with his hand holding his sword that was stuck in the ground. Qingyuan laughed. "What are you laughing at? I won." Hong Mei taunts.

"You thought I would let you die easily. In your dreams." Qingyuan said standing breathlessly. Hong Mei suddenly fell to her knees in pain. "Does it hurt a lot? The poison you gave me is already in your body. How do you feel?" Qingyuan asked flatly.

A sword pierced Qingyuan's stomach. Qingyuan didn't dodge instead grabbed his assailant's neck. "You killed Zeng Bo, your father isn't? You follow your mother's surname very well. I can kill you directly." Qingyuan said flatly.

Hong Li whose neck was grabbed by Qingyuan lost her breath even more. "Stop!" Fang Duobing said. Qingyuan threw Hong Li's body against the wall before Qingyuan locked onto Hong Li's point of motion.

"Drink the medicine that is by the door before entering." Qingyuan warned before Fang Duobing barged in. "Listen to him." Li Lianhua said. The two saw a bottle by the hidden door and drank it before entering.

Qingyuan fell to his knees and put away his sword. His eyes didn't see clearly. Qingyuan could still see Li Lianhua heading towards him. "Don't touch me. My body is full of poison." Obviously Qingyuan.

Li Lianhua paused for a moment. Fang Duobing looked at Hong Mei's state. "They poison you." Li Lianhua said. "Right is also wrong." Qingyuan said flatly. Qingyuan stood up but he swayed but he was caught by someone.

"Di Mengzhu, what are you doing here?" Fang Duobing asked. "Baichuan Court is coming, you and him must not be seen. Let's go, Li Lianhua." Di Feisheng said. "Are you Zhang Mengzhu?" asked Hong Mei who was in pain.

"No way, I sent the soup myself. You should have died and been buried." Hong Mei shouted in disbelief. "You think you can kill him with your dirty tricks. He knows and doesn't drink your soup." Qingyuan said flatly.

"Di Mengzhu, you let me go. You will be exposed to a dangerous poison." Qingyuan added. "I've been taking preventative medicine. Someone wants to see you." Di Feisheng said lifting Qingyuan by his shoulders and leaving. Li Lianhua followed Di Feisheng.

Fang Duobing stared at the two main female offenders silently. Not long after, Shi Shui arrived. Fang Duobing explained everything to Shi Shui before heading out. Hulijing was waiting for him outside. "Hulijing, let's go. We'll go find your master." Fang Duobing said.

The two of them went to look for Li Lianhua. Fang Duobing was surprised that in front of him was Lian Hua Lou. "What is it?" Li Lianhua asked seemingly just back. "You should take a shower and change your clothes. There is poison gas where we entered." Obviously Li Lianhua.

"Why is Lian Hua Lou here?" Fang Duobing asked in surprise. "Don't worry, no one will know he is Li Xiangyi." Di Feisheng said. "Why are you so sure?" Fang Duobing asked confusedly.

"The person inside, has arranged everything. We also caught the traitor for him." Add Di Feisheng. "Then why did you guys come from the other direction?" Fang Duobing asked suspiciously. "Because Yao Mo is currently treating him. We can only eat out for a while after you wash up and change clothes." Li Lianhua said. Fang Duobing complied.

"Is he going to be okay?" Ask Di Feisheng. "His condition is very bad. Especially the poison in his body is unbelievable." Li Lianhua said before falling silent. Yao Mo finally came out. "How is he?" Ask Di Feisheng.

"Temporarily, I managed to stop the bleeding. But the poison, I will think of another way." Obviously Yao Mo. "I can save lives using Yang Zhou Man." Li Lianhua said.

"He asked me to tell you. There's no need to do anything unnecessary. Ten years ago, you used Yang Zhou Man to save him. That was enough, his body couldn't accept any energy flow otherwise the Hua Poison would torture him even more." Obviously Yao Mo.

"Yang Zhou Man ten years ago, helped him suppress Hua Poison. At that time, they wanted to kill him quickly. But you saved him, he is grateful to you." Add Yao Mo.

"Why is it called Hua Poison?" Fang Duobing who just came back in his clean clothes asked. "I gave it that name. His father probably died because of this too. This poison I first saw on his father was only at the third level. But he was already fourth level. When it is in full bloom it will be nine levels dead instantly. He still has five years to live. I once researched this poison, in the late stage nine level flower in full bloom." Obviously Yao Mo.

"You have the antidote?" Ask Di Feisheng. "Don't have one. I haven't found a cure yet." Obviously Yao Mo. "Is there no other way?" Li Lianhua asked. "Why do you care about that bastard? He's none of your business. He'll die sooner so it's better." Said the traitor named Zhang Han laughed happily.

A hairpin pierced the shoulder of Zhang Han who was tied to the tree. Soon Qingyuan arrived at the front. "I'm still not dead. Watch what you say." Qingyuan said inserting the hairpin deeper into Zhang Han's shoulder.

"A lowlife like you who killed my family. Doesn't deserve to live." Zhang Han said angrily. Qingyuan took out the hairpin and stabbed it into Zhang Han's stomach again. Zhang's mouth spat out a bit of blood.

"Sick? Feeling hurt? It was Hong Mei who killed your family, not me. Do you know why? She wanted your father's position of elder. You betrayed Zhang and helped the real killer. Your father will kill you the next time he sees you." Qingyuan sneered smiled coldly.

"You liar." Zhang Han said with a grin. Qingyuan gave Zhang Han a flat look before leaving. "That hairpin belonged to your father. Before he died, he told my father that he must protect you from falling into Hong Mei's hands. But you still fell into her hands on your own will." Qingyuan said flatly.

Zhang Han looked back at the hairpin. The hairpin is indeed his family's treasure only the successors of his family are worthy of wearing it and also if their leader dies then the hairpin will be given to the person they trust the most before giving it to the next successor.

Zhang Han once asked Hong Mei but she didn't know. But Qingyuan knew the meaning of the Zhang family who were his father's real confidants.

“Aaarrggggghhhh” a heartbreaking scream came from Zhang Han's mouth. Fang Duobing was forced to go send Zhang Han to Shi Shui. In the afternoon Fang Duobing just came back from a distance to find that Li Lianhua was cooking but there was no sign of Di Feisheng and Yao Mo.

Qingyuan sat on the terrace of Lian Hua Lou leaning against the door asleep. Hulijing also fell asleep beside Qingyuan. "I'm back." Fang Duobing said smiling and running back to Lian Hua Lou.

Night fell swiftly, Qingyuan was still asleep. Li Lianhua had no choice but to wake up Qingyuan. Qingyuan opened his eyes slowly as he let out a small yawn. "You guys just eat. I still want to sleep." Qingyuan said changing his position about to sleep again.

"I'll carry you if you don't wake up too." Li Lianhua threatened. Qingyuan immediately sat up straight. "I'll go eat." Qingyuan grumbled irritably. Li Lianhua smiled happily and went to the dining table set outside.

"Fang Xiaobao, why have you started eating already?" Li Lianhua asked in disbelief at Fang Duobing's behavior. Qingyuan who came over smiled. "You cooked well this time. Of course I have to eat a lot." Fang Duobing answered honestly.

Qingyuan laughed happily. "Was your cooking really bad before?" Qingyuan asked happily. "You have no idea. He's terrible at cooking and I'm always his guinea pig for every new recipe." Fang Duobing was obviously horrified thinking about his past experiences.

Qingyuan looked at Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing with a sad smile. "Your relationship is very good. I really envy you." Qingyuan said with a sigh. Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua looked at each other before looking at Qingyuan but neither of them dared to ask.

"I have a question, I don't understand." Li Lianhua said. "You can ask." Qingyuan said looking at the distant sky. "That book you gave me, the last part is my face. Why is there a picture of my face there?" Li Lianhua asked.

"That's a martial art technique created by my father. Every leader of the Zhang family has to learn that technique and disguise himself as that face. Disguising himself as that face because my father happened to be running away from some of his enemies, he disguised himself as you and managed to escape. He had business at one of the shops so he just wears a mask without taking off his disguise." Obviously Qingyuan relaxed.

"It happened that someone was messing around in the shop, he stopped them. The mask came off, your face appeared. In the shop there were people who didn't like you, so they fought fiercely. But they lost to my father and they realized that my father didn't beat them with Xiangyi taijian so they realized they were on the wrong target. From then on, when one became Li Lianhua it was necessary to use your face." Qingyuan added.

"Done? So easy?" Fang Duobing asked in disbelief. "Right, what else is there." Qingyuan said smiling sweetly. "Where is your father?" Fang Duobing asked. "Died, I cremated him." Qingyuan said flatly.

"Why?" Fang Duobing asked. "Because I can't let anyone know he died. Because I want revenge." Qingyuan said flatly but his eyes showed a strong hatred.

"How long?" Li Lianhua asked. "It was 10 years ago. Same as the old you. The day of the Donghai Battle. That day, he wanted to send me away for the second time but failed. I saw Hong Mei send the soup to my father and leave. After my father drank it, he vomited blood. With my two hands, I couldn't save him having to cremate him without anyone knowing. I just told them that my father resigned and went somewhere." Obviously Qingyuan was flat.

"They trusted you. Didn't ask any questions?" Fang Duobing asked. "Of course they don't believe it. Those who asked immediately died." Qingyuan said controlling emotions.

"Then they think you killed your father. Don't you think so?" Li Lianhua asked. Qingyuan laughed. "That's right, all over the place says that. I'm used to it and don't care." Qingyuan said flatly. "Let's eat. Eavesdropping is not a good thing, Di Mengzhu." Qingyuan added.

Di Feisheng came out of hiding. "You guys eat." Qingyuan said suddenly standing up. "What is it?" Fang Duobing asked. "My stupid apprentice, waiting for me. I need to see him or else he will starve to death." Qingyuan said walking away. The three fell silent but soon ate.

"You guys go to sleep. I'll wait for him." Di Feisheng said. "Could that be? We..." Fang Duobing was cut off. "Li Lianhua still needs to recover and you need to take care of him." said Di Feisheng shooing Li lianhua and Fang Duobing off to rest.

The two obeyed and went to rest. Di Feisheng went to look for Qingyuan and found Qingyuan sitting under a tree. No students were found at all.

"Your words are half lie and half truth." Di Feisheng said. "You investigate the Zhang family." Qingyuan said smiling dryly. Di Feisheng leaned against a tree.

"You saved him because he is descended from the Nanyin kingdom." Di Feisheng said. "You're right. Li Lianhua's identity was also made for him for fear that future Emperors would take issue with this. Even that martial art technique was specially created by my father for him. My father deliberately disguised his face and showed everyone around. Even though Li Xiangyi was already there at that time but there is also Li Lianhua with the same face as Li Xiangyi." Obviously Qingyuan.

"Why did you guys do that?" Ask Di Feisheng. "Because our family is the assassins of the Nanyin Royal Family. My grandfather found the Li family, my grandfather once asked Li Xiangyi's father. Do they want to revive the Nanyin Kingdom? He replied they didn't want that. They like their life now. Feng family can't be persuaded." Qingyuan said smiling.

"I know from the notes that my grandfather and father left me. Half a year ago, I found it. Before he died, he said I must protect the last descendant of Nanyin who is here, surnamed Li. But I didn't find anything and I was busy taking revenge. Until news about Shan Gudao reached my ears. I made a plan to get out of Zhang but it was too late. At least I managed to save his life." Qingyuan added smiling.

"You two come out, since when did you two also like eavesdropping on people's conversations?" Qingyuan sarcasm. Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua had no choice but to come out of hiding.

"So Li Lianhua, I helped you because you are Nanyin bloodline so you don't have to feel guilty. It's a responsibility that I have to shoulder. You've heard everything. Go back you three. I'm still waiting for my stupid apprentice to return." Banish Qingyuan. Fang Duobing still wanted to talk even Li Lianhua wanted to argue but Di Feisheng dragged Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing away.

Someone comes out. "Liar. Shifu, you helped him because you cared about him, not because he was a Nanyin person. You hate the Nanyin people so much because the Nanyin people killed your father." said the man annoyed. Qingyuan smiled. "You are right but I don't want him to feel indebted. You are also wrong, even if he is a Nanyin person. I will not hate him. I can hate all Nanyin people except him." Qingyuan said smiling before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The man looked panicked to death. "Lu Yan, calm yourself." Qingyuan said looking at the man called Lu Yan annoyed. Lu Yan fell silent and pouted.

Back to Di Feisheng, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing

"He's so weird." Fang Duobing said. "I feel it too." Li Lianhua said. "Because their family was brought up without feelings so maybe that's why it seems weird." Definitely Di Feisheng.

"You investigated them?" Fang Duobing asked. "I..." Di Feisheng's words were cut off by a scream.

"SHIFU!!" A loud scream startled the three of them.
