Although the face of the young man in front of him had changed, Ling Li recognized his identity at a glance. It was Fang Yuan whom he had taught him one and a half moves in the valley.
However, what shocked him was that Fang Yuan, who was only at the peak of the day after tomorrow, had reached the third realm of immortality in just three or four years!
If I hadn't received the help of "Mr. Li", I might have fallen behind him in terms of cultivation
Ling Li was feeling startled and doubtful. Fang Yuan turned his face slightly, looked at Yue Wuhai, and raised his eyebrows slanting into his temples, like a sharp sword.
Yue Wuhai immediately lowered his head. He understood where he was wrong and had no excuses.
"You, come with me."
Ignoring Yue Wuhai, Fang Yuan glanced coldly at Ling Li's slightly shocked look, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, spoke without any fluctuation in his tone, and immediately turned around and walked towards the valley before Ling Li could reply.
Ling Li felt a little weird in his heart, but his feet kept moving. He would not let go of any clues about Su Li, even if there were mountains of swords, seas of fire, dragons, and tigers' dens ahead.
On the way, Ling Li, who looked solemn, suddenly heard a surprised voice, "It's Boss Ling!"
He followed the sound and saw a dark-faced young man, who was Xiao Hei back then. Now he had peak innate cultivation, and the others were all in the middle or late stages of innate cultivation.
"The people who followed Su Li back then have always been like this..."
Ling Li was shocked, but the valley was obviously controlled by Fang Yuan now. Fang Yuan didn't speak, and he couldn't ask anything else. He could only follow Fang Yuan silently and stopped in front of a building.
"This is… "
Looking at the old but spotless bamboo building in front of him, Ling Li was stunned and his thoughts suddenly returned to four years ago.
It was here that Li'er tried his best to kill the two elders of the Blood Refining Sect and took him to a place where he spent several months and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to cure his poisonous injuries.
It's a pity that he couldn't recognize his true feelings at that time, and he didn't realize that he hurt her by using the name "Ling Xue".
"Li'er...is here?"
Ling Li's throat seemed to be blocked by something. It took him a long time to say a word, but he had not yet taken a step.
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "If you think so, you are right."
"real?!"
Ling Li's heart was shaken and he couldn't hold back his temper immediately. He walked up the bamboo building and walked to the bamboo door. He pushed it open with slightly trembling hands.
Fang Yuan stood downstairs, looking at him sarcastically. The hatred in his eyes was no longer there, but now... there was more pity.
No matter what happened in the past, at least now
He and himself are just pitiable people.
"Squeak"
The bamboo door finally opened with a soft sound, as if welcoming a guest who had not been here for a long time.
Sandalwood scent lingered in the house, and the scene inside came into view without any reservation after opening the door.
Ling Li's figure suddenly shook, his eyes filled with disbelief.
That's...a spiritual tablet!
The clear and vermilion word "Su Li" on it made his eyes hurt. The suffocating pain spread quickly, and then... a mixed and confused anger broke out in an instant!
"I do not believe!!"
"If you don't believe it, it won't change the facts."
Fang Yuan didn't know when he came to the bamboo house and lit a stick of incense on the memorial tablet again, with a focused and affectionate expression.
Li'er, I gave him a chance.
As expected, he didn't offer incense for you.
With this thought in his head, Fang Yuan seemed to be able to have a conversation with Su Li, and there was a trace of nostalgia and warmth between his eyebrows.
After placing the incense, Fang Yuan swept away the excess dust, turned around, and saw the lost Ling Li, without any surprise.
Half a year ago, he... was the same way. If he hadn't still had an unfulfilled wish, maybe he would have left with him from the moment Su Li disappeared without any hesitation!
"Ling Li!"
A voice containing the spiritual shock of the Immortal Realm passed into Ling Li's ears, and the latter's dilated pupils suddenly condensed a little.
Sensing a trace of his attention returning to him, Fang Yuan smiled coldly: "Don't be so worthless! I asked you to worship Li'er, not just to see your jokes. Before Li'er left, he left a few It’s a wish that I can’t fulfill now, so I can only entrust you with some of it.”
As soon as these words came out, Ling Li immediately woke up and stared at Fang Yuan with burning eyes. After a moment, he hoarsely said:
"would you like?"
He could see that Fang Yuan... also had a deep love for Su Li. If he were to put himself in his shoes, he would never let anyone get involved in the things behind Su Li's death.
Fang Yuan heard what Ling Li said and immediately smiled, smiling like a winner, "I love her, you... are not as good as me!"
Ling Li's veins bulged, "What did you say?"
"I have to say it again, you are really a bitch, Ling Li..."
Before Fang Yuan finished speaking, he received a fist as big as a sandbag in response. Ling Li's eyes flashed coldly, and he was obviously very angry.
boom!
This punch, in Ling Li's stunned eyes, hit the side of Fang Yuan's face hard. Before he could react, Fang Yuan's fist also arrived, and his right cheek was not spared.
boom!
Bang bang bang bang bang! !
There was a continuous confrontation between the two men, and there was a tacit understanding between them. Neither of them used Xuan Kung, just like street gangsters, punching and kicking each other, turning into a gourd, looking disgraced and miserable.
Qu Qingning, who came after hearing the news, saw this scene as soon as he arrived. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Fang Mu, who was curious and wanted to go in and take a look, slipped away without looking back.
Later, Luo Yichen, who had become the Mei family's son-in-law, also rushed over and left the valley at the same speed.
After Su Li disappeared, Fang Yuan's temper became extremely weird. He still wanted to go back to accompany Mei Ruohan, but he didn't want to get into trouble.
Both Ling Li and Fang Yuan are in the realm of immortality, and their vitality lasts forever. Even if they don't use Xuan Gong, they won't feel tired even if they are so big.
I don’t know how long the fight lasted, but I only know that the sky turned white and then black, and then black and white again. After several turns, Ling Li, who could hardly see his true appearance, took out his restrained hands with great effort and kicked Fang Yuan in the face. , the two immediately separated.
Fang Yuan tried to get up with a sullen face, but he couldn't mobilize any muscle in his body after several times of exertion. Finally, the breath he held loosened, and he lay down on his back, unable to get up again.
Seeing this scene, Ling Li had an ugly smile on his face, and fell down as well, panting violently, not forgetting to show off the glory of being a winner, "I... won... you... you are not as good as me!"
Fang Yuan's closed eyes suddenly opened, full of reluctance, and he also gasped: "If... if it weren't for... Su Li... giving you the elixir, I... would never..."
"What elixir?"
Ling Li asked subconsciously, and then he suddenly got excited and sat up directly. Regardless of the pain all over his body, he hoarsely said: "Elixir? The elixir that helps me directly enter the realm of immortality?"
Fang Yuan knew he had leaked
He opened his mouth and immediately fell silent. If he really told him, he would have violated her last wish and failed her.
But after all, Ling Li has been strategizing since he was a child and has a mind like a monster. The previous unbearable moods were just due to Su Li's influence. Now after a series of beatings, it was the time of Qingming Festival at the Lingtai. Many things came to mind, and all of a sudden he thought of it. There are all kinds of possibilities that he had not thought of before.
"You said Su Li gave me the elixir? But the elixir was clearly given to me by Mr. Li!"
Ling Li didn't know where the strength came from, and stood up at once. A gust of wind blew with his hand, removing all the mud and water on his body. Then he used his empty hand, and a jade bone mask appeared in his hand.
He glanced at Fang Yuan, whose eyes were still closed, and said in a deep voice: "This thing is the same as the thing I gave you back then. If the other side becomes ownerless, as long as the range does not exceed one hundred thousand miles, I must be feeling something, but now... I don't feel anything, how do you explain it?"
Fang Yuan opened his eyes and stared blankly at the strange jade bone mask. He was not surprised at all and remained silent.
Ling Li took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the more and more disturbing suspicions in his heart, and continued to ask: "I just want to ask, how did Su Li die? Now that such a long time has passed, have you ever done anything for her?" revenge?"
revenge
Fang Yuan subconsciously tightened his lips, and although the change in his expression was not obvious, it was keenly captured by Ling Li.
"You haven't avenged her yet!" Ling Li's eyes gradually turned cold, "Who is the enemy?"
Feeling that he had regained some strength, Fang Yuan stood up and slowly cleaned the mud off his body. It could be seen that he was hesitating, and there was a conflict between heaven and man in his heart, and he didn't know what he was worried about.
Ling Li was very patient and did not rush. He stood silently waiting for him to speak, but his eyes, which were like lightning, still put a lot of pressure on Fang Yuan.
I don't know how long it took, but when I realized that there was no more dirt to clean off my body, Fang Yuan suddenly came back to his senses. He looked up and saw Ling Li, whose eyes were still staring at him. His movements froze, as if he had finally figured it out, and turned around. Walk towards the east courtyard.
"Come here and you will know."
Hearing this sentence, Ling Li suddenly became energetic and followed suit.
As the two of them passed through the courtyard gate, Ling Li immediately saw many toys made of wood. Their surfaces were very round and had obviously been carefully polished. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that what Fang Yuan wanted to show him was... A child
But what does children have to do with Su Li
"arrive."
Just as Ling Li was thinking about it, the two of them walked to the door. Fang Yuan suddenly made a sound. He subconsciously looked up and saw a baby who looked less than one year old in a small space enclosed by wooden fences. Accompanied by her nanny, she was playing with wooden toys.
"This kid..."
The moment he saw the baby, Ling Li's heart was shocked, and a feeling of blood connection surged out from the bottom of his heart.
his son? !
How could it be his son? He and Su Li obviously have nothing to do with each other...
etc!
Ling Li suddenly thought of something and stood there blankly, completely dumbfounded.
Fang Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly. As expected, Ling Li could recognize him at a glance.
He loves Su Li as much as Ling Li, but his luck is much worse than Ling Li...
But at this moment, the baby sensed something. He turned around and saw two grown men standing at the door. He smiled so hard that his two small front teeth that had just grown in were exposed, and he babbled and shouted:
"mother!"
