Chapter 128 The Truth
"I am just a nobody in the martial world, and you have never heard of me. I just couldn't stand by and watch as people smeared Li Xiangyi like this, so I wanted to speak out and defend him."
Wu You ignored him and continued speaking.
"What the gentleman said earlier was correct. Before Li Xiangyi was brought to Yunyin Mountain in his childhood, he and Shan Gudao begged for a living on the streets and depended on each other for survival. They witnessed each other's most wretched state."
"Hmph, I told you I wasn't talking nonsense, but you still didn't believe me."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Just shut up."
"you......"
"Come on, continue what you're saying."
"Ever since Senior Qi brought the two of them to Yunyin Mountain, they have lived together, learned to read together, practiced martial arts together, and grown up together. It can be said that the two are more like family than relatives."
"I always said they had a very good relationship," Fang Duobing muttered to himself.
"and after?"
There's a saying that goes, "We can share hardships, but as friends, you can live well, but not better than me. The same goes for family."
What do you mean by that?
"It means that Li Xiangyi was very intelligent from a young age. He showed great talent in literature and martial arts at a young age. In his teens, he created a set of techniques that suited him very well, which enabled him to reach the peak of his martial arts skills."
"In comparison, his senior brother Shan Gudao, who was a few years older than him, seemed very mediocre. Even if he practiced swordsmanship very hard, he could not reach Li Xiangyi's level. With his master praising Li Xiangyi day after day, his heart became somewhat twisted."
"Even after I became the second sect leader of the Sigu Sect, which was founded by Li Xiangyi, seeing Li Xiangyi's boundless glory and the adoration of countless people in the martial arts world, while I, as the senior brother, could only be subordinate to the junior brother, I was naturally unwilling."
"So he thought of stirring up trouble in the martial arts world, hoping to use the power of the imperial court to eliminate the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance and help himself achieve his goal. And this letter in the Ming Dynasty was written by the imperial court to Shan Gu Dao."
"However, he did not expect that Li Xiangyi would not agree and was unwilling to go to war with the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. After all, Li Xiangyi had just signed a five-year ceasefire agreement with Di Feisheng. On the one hand, it was for the peace of the martial arts world and to reduce bloodshed. On the other hand, Li Xiangyi was unwilling to be a person who broke his promise."
"Therefore, Shan Gudao devised a plan to make Sigumen and Jinyuan Alliance irreconcilable enemies. In order for Li Xiangyi to wholeheartedly oppose Jinyuan Alliance, the bargaining chip for this plan could not be an ordinary person. The result was just as he expected."
"What you're saying is getting more and more outrageous. Do you think it's fun to treat us all like fools? According to you, let's not even talk about why Shan Gu Dao instigated the conflict between Si Gu Men and Jin Yuan Meng."
"Take Shan Gudao for example. As his subordinate, I know him. I believe he would use himself as bait, but he wouldn't risk his life to scheme for the position of sect leader. He's not that stupid."
He Zhang seized upon the loophole in Wu You's words and launched a frantic attack.
"Calm down, calm down, we haven't finished speaking yet."
"Shut up already. Can't you let someone finish speaking? Why do you have to interrupt and try to get attention? Come on, continue."
Wu You gave Fang Duobing an approving look; well done.
Fang Duobing: That's a must.
"Hmph, I won't bother with a junior like you. Let's see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."
He Zhang flicked his sleeve and turned his head to the side, determined to hear what kind of nonsense this man had to spout.
