I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

"Master, you're really back!" Ji Hanfo excitedly shook Li Xiangyi's hand, tears glistening in his eyes. "For the past ten years, we have been looking forward to your return every moment!"

"Yes, Sect Master, you're finally back!" Bai Jiangqun also stepped forward, his voice choked with sobs, "We, the Si Gu Sect, can finally be reunited!"

"Brother Ji, Brother Bai, Shi Shui, Bi Qiu, I'm back." Li Xiangyi looked at these familiar faces in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

After ten years, he finally returned here, to the place he once fought for.

"Master, we are really happy that you are still alive!" Ji Hanfu wiped the tears from his eyes. "In the past ten years, there has been no news from you. I thought... I thought..."

He didn't say anything else, but everyone understood what he had left unsaid.

In the past ten years, they have experienced too much and endured too much.

The disappearance of Li Xiangyi, the decline of Sigumen, the turmoil in the martial arts world, all of this made them physically and mentally exhausted.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Li Xiangyi patted Ji Hanfo's shoulder and said softly, "After the East China Sea War, I was poisoned by the green tea. I am dying and my power is only one tenth of what it was."

"The Si Gu Men was already falling apart at the time, and I couldn't let my actions make things worse."

He paused and continued, "For the past ten years, I have been searching for a way to detoxify myself, and I also want to find out the truth about the East China Sea War."

"The poison of green tea?" Ji Hanfo and the others' expressions changed drastically when they heard this. "That's one of the most vicious poisons in the martial arts world. Sect Leader, you are now..."

"I'm fine now." Li Xiangyi smiled, "This is all thanks to Banban."

He turned to look at Qiao Wanwan beside him, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Miss Qiao?" Ji Hanfo and the others only then noticed Qiao Wanwan standing next to Li Xiangyi. "Miss Qiao, you...you and the Sect Master..."

"Brother Ji, thanks to Wanwan who has always been by my side and taken care of me over the years, we have come this far." Li Xiangyi explained.

"Miss Qiao, thank you for saving the leader!" Ji Hanfo said as he was about to salute Qiao Wanwan.

"Brother Ji, you can't do that!" Qiao Wanwan quickly supported him, "This is what I should do."

"Sister Qiao, you and the Sect Master must have suffered a lot over the years, right?" Shi Shui looked at Qiao Wanwan and asked with concern.

"Fortunately, as long as I can be with Xiangyi, I am willing to endure any hardship or fatigue." Qiao Wanwan smiled gently, with happiness shining in her eyes.

"By the way, Sect Leader, when you came back this time, have you found out the truth about the East China Sea War?" Yun Biqiu suddenly asked.

"Yeah." Li Xiangyi nodded. "In that great battle, it was indeed Wansheng Dao who was behind it."

"Wansheng Dao?" Ji Hanfo and the others' expressions darkened when they heard this. "It really is them!"

"For the past ten years, I've been tracking down the Wansheng Dao and discovered that they've been secretly stirring up conflict in the martial arts world, attempting to overthrow the martial arts world," Li Xiangyi said. "So, I've come back this time to completely eradicate this cancer of Wansheng Dao!"

"Master, we'll do it with you!" Bai Jiangqun waved his fist and said angrily, "The Wansheng Dao has committed so many evil things. They should have been destroyed long ago!"

"That's right, Master, we will all listen to you!" Shi Shui also echoed.

"Okay, then let's work together to restore peace to the world!" Li Xiangyi said with great enthusiasm.

"Yes, we can fight side by side together in the future!" Shi Shui said excitedly.

"Okay, let's go inside first and talk." Ji Hanfu said, "Master, Miss Qiao, and Duobing, you have all worked hard on the journey. Take a rest first, and we will talk slowly."

"Okay." Li Xiangyi nodded, and then the group walked into the room.

Tea and snacks had already been prepared in the room.

Everyone sat together and started talking about their experiences over the past ten years.

Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan talked about how they had been looking for a way to detoxify and how they had been tracking down the traces of Wansheng Dao over the years.

Ji Hanfo and others also talked about how they guarded Baichuanyuan over the years and how they waited for Li Xiangyi's return.

Fang Duobing talked about how he had practiced martial arts hard over the years and how he longed to join Baichuan Academy.

"Master, you were poisoned by the green tea. How did Miss Wanwan help you detoxify?" Ji Hanfo suddenly asked.

"It's like this..." Li Xiangyi then told Qiao Wanwan how she used Lingxi Du'e's technique to introduce poison into her own body.

"What? Wanwan, you..." Ji Hanfo and others were shocked when they heard this.

"Brother Ji, don't worry, I'm fine now." Qiao Wanwan smiled, "Besides, my Mingyu Gong has also reached a higher level because of this."

"But, won't Lingxi Du'e's technique damage one's own meridians?" Shi Shui asked worriedly.

"Yes, Wanwan, you must have suffered a lot over the years, right?" Yun Biqiu asked with concern.

"Fortunately, as long as I can be with Xiangyi, I am willing to endure any hardship or fatigue." Qiao Wanwan smiled gently, with happiness shining in her eyes.

"Banban, thank you." Li Xiangyi held Qiao Wanban's hand and said affectionately.

"Xiangyi, do we still need to say this between us?" Qiao Wanwan held Li Xiangyi's hand and said softly.

"By the way, Sect Leader, you just said that Wansheng Dao has been secretly stirring up disputes in the martial arts world over the years. What is their purpose?" Ji Hanfo asked.

"This..." Li Xiangyi pondered for a moment and said, "I suspect that there is a greater conspiracy behind Wanshengdao. They not only want to stir up disputes in the martial arts world, but also subvert the world."

"Then what should we do next?" Bai Jiangquan asked.

"The leader of the Wansheng Dao has been killed," Li Xiangyi said. "Our most important task now is to wipe out the remaining Wansheng Dao forces."

"Yes, the Sect Master is right." Ji Hanfu nodded, "We will definitely participate and cooperate with you with all our strength."

"By the way, Fang Xiaobao, you should follow Brother Ji and the others from now on." Li Xiangyi said to Fang Duobing, "They are all experienced people in the martial arts world. You can learn a lot from them."

"I understand, Li Lianhua." Fang Duobing said casually.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone should go to bed early." Li Xiangyi said, "Tomorrow, we still have a lot of things to do."

"Yes, Master." Everyone answered in unison.
