Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Qin Po listened quietly. When she first heard that Li Lianhua had been poisoned by the green tea, she was startled.

However, she breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Li Lianhua's poison had been cured by Ji Yuan.

He said, "Back then, you left behind your martial arts skills, and your master's wife was able to take in Ji Yuan on behalf of your master. Perhaps it was all because your master was protecting you."

“I’m sorry to my master. I thought about coming back, but I heard that I angered him to death…”

Li Lianhua spoke of her master with some sadness.

"Silly child, what does this have to do with you?"

"I feel a little sorry for her," Qin Po said.

Ji Yuan had previously told Li Lianhua that there might be something fishy about Qi Mushan's death. Neither Feng Qing nor Ji Yuan told him that Qi Mushan was actually angered to death by Shan Gudao.

But now that he knows what Shan Gudao did in the past and what his true thoughts are, he is a little scared.

He had some suspicions. If there was something fishy about his master's death, it was very likely that Shan Gudao was involved.

However, he dared not tell Granny Qin.

Master's wife is getting old, so please stop worrying about these things. If it really was Shan Gu Dao who did it, he swears that he will definitely avenge his master.

"Let's not talk about these sad things anymore. Now that the poison has been cured, I'll come back to visit my master's wife more often."

Granny Qin patted Li Lianhua's hand and said.

"Ah."

Li Lianhua nodded.

Then, Li Lianhua asked about her identity.

Upon hearing this, Granny Qin nodded: "Ji Yuan told you?"

Now that you're older, it's time to tell you: yes, you are indeed a descendant of the Southern Yin royal family.

Back then, your master and I…

Qin Po told Li Lianhua about what she had done many years ago when she went to find Li Xiangyi and Li Xiangxian.

"Although your brother had already passed away when we found you and your brother."

However, we have also investigated and found that when you were homeless, your brother was really a good brother. He always protected you and would give you food first whenever he found it. When you were bullied, he would rather be covered in wounds himself than let you suffer.

It's a pity that your brother, because he was often hungry and beaten, didn't make it to the time when we found you, he passed away from illness.

Before your brother passed away, he was still worried about you. He found Shan Gu Dao, who was also a beggar, and gave him the jade pendant that represented your lineage as the only one of your kind, asking him to take care of you. Not long after, we found you.”

Grandma Qin spoke nostalgically about the past.

Li Lianhua's face turned pale: "Why...why don't I remember having an older brother..."

He remembered what Granny Qin said: she would rather go hungry herself than let him go hungry, and she would rather be beaten herself than let him go hungry. He just always thought that it was Shan Gu Dao.

He never imagined that he had an older brother.

“You were too young at the time and don’t remember much. Plus, when we found you, you had a fever and had forgotten many things.”

Qin Po explained.

Before Li Lianhua was brought back, she lived a very difficult life. She had a fever and forgot a lot of things, which was perhaps a good thing, so Qi Mushan and Granny Qin never mentioned it again.

The couple had no idea that Li Lianhua hadn't completely forgotten, but rather confused things, mistaking her own brother's kindness for Shan Gudao's kindness towards her.

Now that he suddenly realized that all his beautiful fantasies about Shan Gudao were false, he clenched his fists tightly.

Since becoming his disciple, Shan Gudao had actually shown dissatisfaction with him on many occasions, but Li Lianhua kept thinking about how good Shan Gudao was to him when they were young, deceiving herself and thinking that it was nothing.

But now, he has learned that the good he had been longing for was not actually the solitary sword.

This difference was something Li Lianhua found hard to accept.

More importantly, he actually forgot about his own brother who was truly good to him.

As the two were talking, Ji Yuan brought the wine and dishes into the living room.

Upon entering, one immediately sees Li Lianhua with tears in her eyes.

He has seen Li Lianhua cry many times in the past two days.

"Come, come, Master's wife, Senior Brother, let's drink."

Ji Yuan poured wine for the two of them directly.

A drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.

Li Lianhua kept her head down and started drinking.

Granny Qin noticed that Li Lianhua was in a bad mood, so she let him drink by himself and then pulled Ji Yuan out.

In the courtyard, Granny Qin looked at Ji Yuan and asked, "What happened to your senior brother?"

Ji Yuan looked back and then explained, "Master's wife, let me tell you briefly."

In fact, Shan Gu Dao didn't die; he faked it. Ten years ago, he used his faked death to instigate a war between the Si Gu Sect and the Jin Yuan Alliance, hoping to weaken both sides and reap the benefits.

Upon hearing this, Granny Qin could hardly believe it: "Really? Why would he do that?"

"It's because of my senior brother's jade pendant. Wasn't that jade pendant given to Shan Gu Dao?"

Then, Shan Gu Dao was injured when he was a child, leaving a scar on his body.

As a result, the descendants of Nan Yin mistakenly believed that Shan Gu Dao was a descendant of the Nan Yin royal family, found him, and became his subordinates.

Then Shan Gudao developed a dream of restoring his kingdom and becoming emperor.

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, Granny Qin opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She never expected that Shan Gudao would be mistaken for a descendant of the Southern Yin royal family.

If he had known this would happen, he and Qi Mushan should have taken the jade pendant that Li Xiangxian gave to Shan Gudao.

However, since it was Li Xiangxian who gave it to Shan Gudao, they, as his master and mistress, couldn't very well take their disciple's things, so they didn't interfere.

I never imagined that something like this would happen again so many years later.

"Xiang Yi knows about these things?"

Qin Po recalled that Li Lianhua had asked her about her identity earlier.

Ji Yuan nodded: "Senior brother has been searching for Shan Gudao's body all these years because he feels that he won't have the face to come back and see you if he doesn't find Shan Gudao's body."

Now that I know all this, I feel... a little sad.

When Granny Qin learned what had happened, she sighed.

"He suffered so much... It's also my and your master's fault."

Granny Qin also felt somewhat guilty.

If they had taken the jade pendant directly back then, or told Li Xiangyi about Li Xiangxian, things might not have come to this.

“Master’s wife, don’t overthink it. What’s done is done, and blaming yourself won’t help.”

I believe my senior will recover on his own.

Ji Yuan reached out and massaged Granny Qin's shoulders.

"I hope so. By the way, I heard that Baichuan Academy is going to hold a sword appreciation competition. You should go there."

"If Xiang Yi himself is unwilling to retrieve his sword, then you should go and retrieve it."

Qin Po looked at Ji Yuan and said.

The Junior Master Sword was given to Li Xiangyi by Qi Mushan. Li Xiangyi really didn't want to take it back, and Granny Qin was also reluctant to see it being left to languish.

Furthermore, Ji Yuan is also Qi Mushan's disciple and Li Xiangyi's junior brother, so he is naturally qualified to take back the Junior Master's Sword.

"I will."

Ji Yuan nodded.
