Luo Wentai sneered and chased after them. Then, at the mountainside, the cheating couple was stopped.

Without further ado, he promptly twisted their necks, then pulled them in each hand, dragging their corpses, and threw them down the cliff.

Only in this way could he vent the hatred in his heart!

His 20 years of planning had come to nothing. How could he not hate! It was just that things had come to this point, and it was useless to say more. He needed a son!

On the second day, everyone found that Zhao Yongniang was missing, along with the fourth apprentice, Ji Nan.

Luo Wentai was very angry when he heard about this, and he immediately announced that he would expel Ji Nan from the sect. He ordered his second disciple to go down the mountain and bring back the adulterer!

However, Li Huairou knew that the two would never come back.

Because when Luo Wentai had killed them last night, she was at the side. At that time, she was scared to death, covering her mouth and not making any sound, for fear that Luo Wentai would find out and kill her. However, Lin Anzhi, who was beside her, was smiling strangely at her.

Last night, she’d originally wanted to ask Lin Anzhi to clarify. She thought it was Lin Anzhi who was playing tricks. Who knew that Lin Anzhi wouldn’t speak, instead dragging her to squat outside Zhao Yongniang’s house and wait.

Then she saw it all.

It turned out that the Qishan Sect, which was calm on the surface, was actually turbulent.

The fourth apprentice and Third Senior Sister-in-Law—when did these two get together? This had not been mentioned in the novel! Li Huairou was stunned.

Later, she witnessed Luo Wentai’s merciless killing, and she dared not move. There was no way; the force value was not comparable to others!

It wasn’t until Luo Wentai left that Lin Anzhi pulled her away.

When Lin Anzhi was about to leave, he dropped a sentence in her ear: “Do you still think your fellow apprentices are innocent?”

Li Huairou let out a helpless sigh when she thought of this.

The crowd dispersed, and when Li Huairou turned around, she saw Lin Anzhi again, and he smiled strangely at her again.

“Anzhi, Huairou, come here.” Luo Wentai suddenly stopped them.

“Yes, Shifu.”

“It is like this. I wrote a letter, and you immediately went down the mountain, sent it to the Zhao family in Taizhou, and explained the whole story to Mr. Zhao.” Luo Wentai took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Huairou. “Anzhi, you’re here. Go with your shijie to gain experience.”

Taizhou was not far from Qishan, and it took about seven or eight days to make a round trip.

But why was it her and Lin Anzhi!

Luo Rongrong was unhappy. She’d wanted to go down the mountain with her little Lin.

Luo Wentai looked at her. “Your mother is ill. She’s worried about you.” This one sentence made Luo Rongrong stop talking.

Li Huairou went back to pack her luggage, and when she came out, Luo Rongrong was still dragging Lin Anzhi, and she kept talking. When the two went down Qishan, Li Huairou asked, “Why did Shifu have you and me go down the mountain?”

“Because he doesn’t need me as a shield and chess piece for the time being. He is afraid that I will do something to Luo Rongrong, and he wants to take the opportunity to separate us,” Lin Anzhi said disapprovingly.

“Aren’t you in danger? Would you like to take this opportunity to escape?” Li Huairou asked.

“Escape? Why should I escape? I have to wait to see what happens to Luo Wentai!” Lin Anzhi strode forward.

Li Huairou chased after him and continued. “Forget about him! You aren’t better than that Su Muhe—Su Muhe is not alone, and Luo Wentai may not be able to get him. But you are different. You are alone, and your martial arts isn’t great. If Luo Wentai pinched you to death, it’d be just like pinching an ant to death. You are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!”

Lin Anzhi stopped and looked at Li Huairou. “You still have to worry about Li Huaishan and yourself! Luo Wentai can’t let Li Huaishan and Luo Rongrong be together; after all, there is a precedent. If Li Huaishan marries Luo Rongrong, then there’s a nine out of ten chance that the position of Qishan head will belong to Li Huaishan. Just wait and see. Luo Wentai will soon come up with other ways to deal with Li Huaishan. Perhaps he’ll take advantage of the opportunity while you’re going down the mountain this time.”

Li Huairou heard this. She stopped and thought about it. She handed the letter to Lin Anzhi. “So you deliver the letter. I’ll hide at the foot of the mountain.”

Lin Anzhi glanced at her. “As you wish.” Then he took the letter and walked forward.

Li Huairou did not dare to go up the mountain for fear of being discovered, so she could only hide at the foot of the mountain.

A few days later, she actually found Li Huaishan, who was walking down the mountain in despair. Li Huairou hurriedly stepped forward, pulled on Li Huaishan, and found that he had no inner strength left. “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

“Huairou, didn’t you go to Taizhou? Why are you here?” Li Huaishan saw Li Huairou and couldn’t care about his own sadness, so he asked quickly.

“Don’t talk about me. Let’s talk about you first. Weren’t you practicing in seclusion? What’s going on?” Li Huairou noticed that something was wrong with Li Huaishan and wanted to check on his situation.

But Li Huaishan dodged the question.

“Shifu—no, Sect Master Luo disabled my martial arts and expelled me from the sect.” Li Huaishan smiled bleakly.

“How could it be! What happened? What about Shiniang?” Li Huairou asked.

“I don’t know either! That day, Rongrong came to bring me food and brought me a pot of wine. It happened that I’d learned something and was very happy, so I drank two more glasses, and I unexpectedly got drunk. When I woke up…” Li Huaishan couldn’t remember what had happened that day.

He was just happy for a while and drank two glasses of wine—how could he possibly become mad after drinking and try to insult his shimei! In the end, Shifu hit him and was furious. Shifu had originally wanted to directly kill him, but Shiniang had dragged her sick body over to plead for him.

Shifu only disabled his martial arts and expelled him from the sect.

How could he do such a thing to his shimei! Shimei must hate him now! It was all his fault; he shouldn’t have drunk!

Li Huaishan grabbed his hair in annoyance, but Li Huairou pulled at him. “Leave here first.”

“Huairou, Shifu didn’t take his anger out on you because of me. You are still a disciple of Qishan; you…” Li Huaishan said while pulling Li Huairou.

“Brother, if you are gone, can I even still stay in Qishan? I have something to tell you, but let’s leave here first,” Li Huairou said with a stern face.

The brother-sister pair left Qishan and went to the town down the mountain to stay for the time being. Li Huairou took Li Huaishan to the pharmacy, and the doctor checked on him. There was no hindrance.

The siblings found an inn at which to stay.

Li Huairou told Li Huaishan everything that had happened during this period, including her own yellow millet dream, as well as about Su Muhe and Lin Anzhi.

Li Huaishan was stunned. He sat there for a long time and couldn’t recover. The impact for him was too much. He’d trusted and depended on Shifu, who was like a father to him, but he’d turned out to be such a person.

Li Huaishan suddenly reacted. “If what you said is true, isn’t it very dangerous for Shiniang and Rongrong? No, I’m going to save them!”

“Okay, now that your martial arts is completely useless, how can you save them? Besides, will they believe you without any evidence?” Li Huairou pulled Li Huaishan back. Li Huaishan struggled to rush out, so Li Huairou simply tapped his acupuncture point.

The world suddenly became quiet.

This was the first time that Li Huairou felt that the world of martial arts was pretty good. Acupuncture or something—it was really amazing! But now was not the time to study this.

“Brother, calm down and listen to me. From the current point of view, Shiniang and Shijie are safe. Shifu will never allow you to be with Shijie. After all, that’s how he got the head position. So he wants to get rid of you first. Speaking of which, compared to his fourth apprentice, he only took away your ability to use martial arts and expelled you from the sect, but he still had a trace of master-disciple affection in the end,” Li Huairou said softly.

Li Huaishan inwardly shouted. He didn’t want the head position at all.

“It’s easy to live by yourself. I know you don’t care, but Shifu doesn’t know!” Li Huairou said. “I know what you’re worried about, but you can’t do anything now, and you’ll startle the snakes in the grass. When you calm down, we…”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Li Huairou immediately became vigilant. She drew her sword and walked slowly to the door.

When she opened the door and saw the person coming, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why are you here?” Li Huairou let Su Muhe in.

“I think you probably need my help now.” Su Muhe walked in and glanced at Li Huaishan, who was unable to move after his acupuncture point had been tapped. “I’m sorry about your brother. I didn’t expect him to be so cruel, even at the expense of his own daughter’s reputation.”

Li Huairou sighed. Things had developed so far, and they were completely out of control. She couldn’t tell whether Li Huaishan’s current situation was better when compared to the novel.

“It’s very dangerous for you to stay here. I can send you two to a safe place—as a reward for your reminder!” Su Muhe said.

Li Huairou thought for a while. “You take my brother away. I’ll stay.”

“Have you thought about it?” Su Muhe stared at Li Huairou.

“Yeah.” Li Huairou looked at Li Huaishan. “Brother, you go with him. I’ll stay. You can rest assured that Shiniang and Shijie will be fine; I will take them to go find you.” ”

Li Huaishan stared at Li Huairou, desperately shouting “no” in his heart. It was too dangerous, and he couldn’t let Huairou take the risk. It was him who wanted to go.

However, Su Muhe didn’t give him a chance to object. He clapped his hands, and two people immediately came in, disguised Li Huaishan, and then helped him out.

“You must take good care of my brother. Don’t let him run away,” Li Huairou said.

“Don’t worry! Lin Anzhi will come back tomorrow. When you go back with him, you can take care of each other,” Su Muhe said.

“Did you guys make plans long ago?” Li Huairou asked.

Su Muhe smiled. “Didn’t you say it? The most advanced way to get revenge on a man is to take away everything he values. What he values most is his heir and the inheritance of the position of the head. So, we’ll plan to do our best to help Luo Rongrong ascend to the position of Qishan head.”
