At this moment, Fang Duobing suddenly changed the subject, staring at Li Xiangyi with a burning gaze, and asked, "Li Lianhua, your purpose along the way is to find the body of my uncle Shan Gudao. What is your relationship with him?"

Faced with the sudden question, Li Xiangyi was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't expect Fang Duobing to ask this question suddenly, and at this time.

Di Feisheng, who was standing by, sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You're just hiding your head and showing your tail. That's all you can do."

Fang Duobing turned to look at Di Feisheng and asked, "A Fei, you know it too, right? So you are hiding it from me. Do you still consider me a friend?" His voice was full of anger and grievance. He felt that he had been betrayed by the person he trusted the most.

Fang Duobing became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and turned around to leave this sad place.

Seeing this, Qiao Wanwan quickly stepped forward, put her hand on his shoulder, and tried to stop him from leaving.

"Fang Xiaobao, there are some things that we don't mean to hide from you, it's just that knowing too much is not good for you." Qiao Wanwan said softly, her tone full of helplessness and worry.

Fang Duobing turned around and looked at Qiao Wanwan, his eyes full of pleading: "Sister Luo, I don't want to be kept in the dark all the time. Please tell me, okay?" There was a hint of crying in his voice. He really didn't want to be treated as an outsider anymore.

Seeing Fang Duobing about to cry, Qiao Wanwan sighed. She knew that some things could not be kept secret, and continuing to hide them would only make Fang Duobing even more sad.

Li Xiangyi was unwilling to say it, so she let him do it. She couldn't always hide it from Fang Duobing, and she had a premonition that they would face greater danger in the future. These days, she always felt that someone was spying on them.

"Fang Xiaobao, let me introduce myself to you again," Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "My name is Qiao Wanwan, and Su Luo is my pseudonym."

She pointed at Li Xiangyi and continued, "His name is not Li Lianhua, he is Li Xiangyi."

Li Xiangyi! This name exploded in Fang Duobing's mind like thunder. Li Xiangyi was Fang Duobing's idol since childhood, the person he admired most, and the goal he had always pursued.

He never imagined that he would have the opportunity to travel the world with Li Xiangyi and solve so many cases together.

For a moment, Fang Duobing froze in place, his mind blank, completely at a loss for words. He stared blankly at Li Xiangyi, his eyes filled with shock, confusion, and a hint of unbelievable joy.

Li Xiangyi looked at Fang Duobing's shocked expression, feeling a mixture of emotions. He knew the truth would be revealed sooner or later, but he hadn't expected it to be so sudden. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless.

The room fell into silence, with only the breathing of the three people being audible.

"Li...Li Xiangyi..." Fang Duobing finally found his voice. He stammered, his tone full of excitement and disbelief.

"It's me." Li Xiangyi nodded with a bitter smile on his face.

"Are you really Li Xiangyi? The leader of the Sigu Sect, the number one Li Xiangyi in the world?" Fang Duobing still couldn't believe it, and he confirmed again.

"It's genuine." Li Xiangyi said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Oh my god..." Fang Duobing covered his mouth. He felt like he was dreaming. The idol he had always admired was standing in front of him, and they had experienced so many things together.

"So, you are really looking for my uncle's body?" Fang Duobing suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Yes." Li Xiangyi nodded without denying it.

"Why?" Fang Duobing asked, "What is your relationship with my uncle?"

"He..." Li Xiangyi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "He is my senior brother."

"Senior brother?" Fang Duobing was even more shocked. "You are my uncle's junior brother?"

"Yes." Li Xiangyi said.

"Then...what exactly happened back then? Why did you become Li Lianhua? Why did my uncle disappear?" Fang Duobing asked all the questions in his mind at once.

"It's a long story what happened back then..." Li Xiangyi sighed and began to talk about the battle ten years ago.

"Ten years ago, my senior brother and I founded the Si Gu Men. Together, we roamed the martial arts world, doing good deeds and helping others. The Si Gu Men's reputation grew ever greater. However, at the height of our glory, a disaster struck."

"First, someone provoked a fight between the Si Gu Men and the Jin Yuan League. They took the opportunity to kill my senior brother and steal his remains. So, Di Feisheng and I arranged a battle in the East China Sea. In that battle, I was poisoned by the green tea and was seriously injured. The Si Gu Men also fell apart because of this."

"I was saved by Luo...Wanwan. She used the Lingxi Du'e technique to transfer the poison in my body into her own, saving my life. To recover my brother's remains and find an antidote, Wanwan and I hid our identities and became traveling doctors under the alias Li Lianhua."

"For the past ten years, I have been searching for my senior brother's whereabouts, but there has been no news. It was not until a while ago that I got some clues that my senior brother's body might have appeared."

"So, you tricked me into coming to Cailian Manor to investigate the case and wanted to find my uncle's body?" Fang Duobing asked.

"Yes." Li Xiangyi nodded.

"Then...then is this body really my uncle's?" Fang Duobing asked, pointing at the body on the ground.

"Whether it is true or not still needs further confirmation," Li Xiangyi said, "but judging from the current situation, it is very likely not."

"Then...what should we do next?" Fang Duobing asked.

"We have to continue investigating. I must find out whether he is still alive and why there has been no news from him in the past ten years." Li Xiangyi said with a firm tone.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Fang Duobing said.

"And me." Di Feisheng also spoke up, "I want to get to the bottom of what happened back then."

"Okay, then let's act together." Li Xiangyi said, "We must find the truth."

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with firm conviction. They knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, but they would not back down. They would face all the challenges together and find out the truth.

The atmosphere in the room grew solemn. The three of them surrounded the fake Shan Gudao's corpse in silence.

"Let's bury the body first." Li Xiangyi broke the silence and said.

"Okay." Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng both nodded.

So the three of them worked together again, carried the body to a hidden place, dug a hole, and buried him.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find you." Li Xiangyi said, standing in front of the grave.
