Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

His name is Zhu Xianchou.

He wants to become an immortal, and he also wants revenge!

Upon hearing this, Li Lan understood immediately. No wonder Zhu Xianchou's methods of poisoning and refining medicine were so astonishing and impossible to guard against. It turned out that they were inherited from the Immortal Realm!

Having suffered from the Gu poison generation after generation, and with all his relatives dying due to the tyranny of the imperial court, it's no wonder that Zhu Xianchou's desire for revenge is so intense!

Li Lan sighed softly: "A speck of dust falling from the palace becomes a mountain when it lands on an ordinary person's head."

Zhu Xianchou said, "Therefore, I respect Brother Li. In the court and among the common people, I have only been defeated by you. I was originally unconvinced, but tonight, seeing your new policies and the poor and weak people at the banquet... I am finally convinced."

"So I want to ask you to become an immortal with me!"

His gaze was intense: "If you help me take revenge, I will give you everything you want. Even if you are unable to cultivate the path of immortality, with me here, I can use the art of alchemy to help you embark on the path of immortality. This is not difficult!"

Invite Li Lan to become an immortal together.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan felt a slight mix of emotions.

He knew, of course, that it was already a rare privilege for Zhu Xianchou to tell him these things. He wasn't doing it to take advantage of Li Lan, nor did he need a cultivation failure like Li Lan.

But he still came, to extend an invitation, in an attitude of equality.

Just as he said, Li Lan felt his...respect.

"Though the world is vast, there is only one who can be my fellow Daoist and fight alongside me on the path to immortality: Brother Li!"

He was extremely sincere!

Upon hearing this, Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhu treats me with sincerity, and I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

"I, Li, have accepted the agreement to the Immortal Path. If I have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm in the future, I will certainly lend Brother Zhu a hand."

“I will not stop you from seeking revenge against Emperor Xianxian.”

"However, Li Yue has become my disciple, and Lin Ruobing has shown me favor, so I will not allow them to be humiliated."

Li Lan's attitude was firm.

Zhu Xianchou shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you have a kind heart, but you should know that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Although Li Guan is of low character, he is ultimately the only one who can open the path to immortality!"

"I cannot compromise on this matter."

"Therefore, today, I have no choice but to take Brother Li away from this place of trouble—"

After saying that, he stood up and forcefully took action to take Li Lan away!

Because he knew what Li Guan would do to Li Lan once he arrived at the Prince of Annan's residence... He dared not imagine.

Having already accepted Li Lan as a person in his heart, he was unwilling to see Li Lan suffer humiliation at the hands of Li Guan, and even less willing to let Li Lan make a pointless sacrifice.

However, before he could exert any force when his hand landed on Li Lan's shoulder, Li Lan suddenly turned and pressed down horizontally, releasing a burst of energy. Zhu Xianchou's breath caught in his throat, and he was forced back a step by Li Lan. His face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He was already suffering from internal injuries, and his eyes were filled with horror.

"You actually possess such martial arts skills, and you are not affected by my Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder?"

He suddenly remembered something and blurted out:

"I know now. The one on Seeking the Dao Mountain wasn't Lin Ruoxue, it was Lin Ruobing! You helped her detoxify, and you helped her defeat Zuo Tianlong!"

Upon realizing this, he was filled with admiration and said, "Everyone says you're a martial arts failure, but little do they know... you've been hiding your abilities so well!"

At this moment, his heart was truly in turmoil, with great ups and downs, and a strange sense of sorrow!

"I, Zhu, have no eyes to recognize a hero... Haha, with such martial arts talent, you would definitely shine brightly on the path of immortality. And I am here wagging my tongue like a clown. How laughable, how laughable!"

"I, Zhu Xianchou, admit defeat, I've made a wrong move!"

At this moment, he was truly ashen-faced, but his face was filled with regret. He couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that my blood feud is hard to avenge—Brother Li, I have a request, what do you say?"

Li Lan said, "Please speak."

"When Emperor Xianxian dies someday, may my ashes be scattered on his imperial tomb? I, Zhu, have never eaten his flesh alive, but I shall devour his soul in death!"

Zhu Xianchou's eyes burned with intense hatred!

Li Lan sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "I won't kill you."

"Brother Zhu, I am honored to have you address me as a fellow Daoist. I would also like to invite you to do something for me."
