"Senior Brother Lan!" Tuoba Hanyun rushed over with a big smile and grabbed his arm.
Lan Yanfeng also pulled her aside, deliberately looked at her closely, and teased, "I told you to practice your skills properly, but you wouldn't listen. Look how fast you've aged."
Tuoba Hanyun glared at him, displeased. "You're still acting like a young man, but aren't you just an old bachelor?!"
Zhu Liancheng smiled and shook his head.
Upon recognizing the figure who had gracefully walked by, Tuoba Hanyun's smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression. "It's you?!"
Xiao Ji had intended to visit Xiao Yuan and the baby, but unexpectedly ran into Tuoba Hanyun in the courtyard. She stopped and narrowed her eyes, looking back at her with equal indifference.
Lan Yanfeng pursed his lips in displeasure. Ever since the day he hit her, she had been ignoring him and deliberately disregarding him. Wasn't that her fault? Did she expect him to apologize?!
Tuoba Hanyun's temper flared up, and she shoved Lan Yanfeng aside. He didn't stop her, letting her approach Xiao Ji with a threatening look.
"I never expected this! I never expected to run into you again!" Tuoba Hanyun sneered. "We still owe each other a life!"
Xiao Ji looked at her mockingly, smacked her lips, and laughed with utter disdain, "I never realized you were such a funny person! People are dead, and even buried together, and you want to fight me?"
Tuoba Hanyun's face turned pale, and her lips trembled.
Xiao Ji looked at her and chuckled inwardly. As expected of a fool who could drive her master crazy, she couldn't even argue!
"You probably don't know yet, do you?" Xiao Ji covered her mouth and giggled, making a show of her emotions. "Your 'carefully taught' good apprentice, Li Yuan'er, is my niece!"
Tuoba Hanyun took a step back in terror, staring at her fiercely, but couldn't utter a single word.
"Haha, Princess Tuoba! You actually raised Li Juxin and 'his' daughter for a full ten years!" Xiao Ji laughed, intensifying her anger. "The Xiao family is all grateful to you!"
"You! You!" Tuoba Hanyun trembled with anger, finally managing to retort, "Monster! A monster who fell in love with her own brother!"
Xiao Ji paused, her smile turning cold. She raised an eyebrow seductively. "Yes, at least Xiao Mingyu and I were in love. What about you? Useless trash, idiot! I thought it would be your turn after I left, right? I didn't expect that the fat meat would still be snatched away by Li Juxin. You've wasted over a decade and now you want to fight me? You're really interesting!"
"Xiao Ji!" Seeing that Tuoba Hanyun's expression had changed, Zhu Liancheng couldn't help but shout. He knew his junior sister well; she was no good at martial arts, and even less so at arguing.
"I'll kill you!" Tuoba Hanyun lunged at Xiao Ji like a madman.
Xiao Ji laughed uncontrollably as she sparred with her, her mouth never stopping, "Brother Zhu, now I truly understand why Master Qin was able to die of anger. Is this even martial arts? Sister Tuoba, are you really Qin Chuyi's disciple?"
Tuoba Hanyun was furious and attacked ruthlessly and quickly, making it difficult for Xiao Ji to cope.
"You incestuous monster! You've found other men too?!" Tuoba Hanyun, who had gradually gained the upper hand, also turned her attention to being sarcastic. "Finding a thousand men won't help! Your heart will always belong to Xiao Mingyu, the only man in the world you can't love!"
Xiao Ji was stunned, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. This strike was both ruthless and precise!
Originally, she didn't want to hurt Tuoba Hanyun, but now... she used ninety percent of her inner strength, and even if she didn't die, she would be bedridden for half a year!
"Don't hurt my junior sister!"
Seeing that she was about to use a ruthless move, Lan Yanfeng stepped forward and stood in front of Tuoba Hanyun. With a cold face, he waved his hand, forcing Xiao Ji to take a step back.
Seeing an opening, Tuoba Hanyun unleashed a powerful palm strike from behind Lan Yanfeng, the force of which landed squarely on Xiao Ji's chest.
"Han Yun!" Zhu Liancheng shouted in a low voice!
Lan Yanfeng tried to stop her, but it was too late. He reached out to help her, but Xiao Ji glared at him with disgust, causing him to stop and stand stiffly between her and Tuoba Hanyun.
Xiao Ji wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, Tuoba Hanyun's martial arts skills were weak; the injury was there, but not fatal. She stood up with a smile, her eyes mockingly glancing past Lan Yanfeng at Tuoba Hanyun behind him.
"It's definitely better to fight in groups!" she laughed.
Lan Yanfeng frowned and remained silent.
"Tuoba, you win in a fight! But when it comes to finding a man, I win! Xiao Mingyu loved me, Gao Tianjing loved me! Hmph, if I want, there are plenty of men who will love me. You fellow disciples can have a good reunion, but as for me..." She smiled seductively, "I'm going to find a man who doesn't love Li Juxin! Surely there are some in the world!"
She walked out without looking back.
"Xiao Ji!"
Watching her retreating figure, Lan Yanfeng finally lost his temper and roared.
She didn't even slow her pace, just raised her hand and waved, "Lan Yanfeng, the time for us to part ways has finally come! Take good care of your Junior Sister Li!"
"Xiao Ji! You stop right there!"
She walked out of the second gate.
"Xiao Ji! If you stop right there... I'll marry you!"
She walked out the door and then burst into laughter.
"Lan Yanfeng, Master Lan, you should understand what it means to break up a group, shouldn't you?!"
Chapter 84 of "The Smiling Flower": The Direction of Happiness
On a spring night, even the moonlight is hazy, and the warm, gentle breeze seems to carry one's thoughts to one's beloved.
Xiao Yuan sighed softly in the darkness.
Lying beside her, Yi Chunjun reached out and gently stroked her silky long hair; he naturally knew what she was thinking.
"Don't worry, my people are following Sister Xiao's movements."
Xiao Yuan frowned. "I'm not worried that Uncle Lan won't be able to find Sister Xiao, but that he won't even bother looking for her! Sister Xiao—my aunt—is such a pitiful woman."
Yi Chunjun also sighed softly, "Whether Master goes to look for her or not is up to his own heart. If he only goes to find Sister Xiao because we persuade or force him, what's the point? That's not the kind of love Sister Xiao wants."
