Chapter 68 Investigating the Whereabouts of the Lion Soul
Fang Duobing put the Junior Master Sword back in its original place, and then the two people from Baichuan Academy carried it back for storage, thus bringing the sword appreciation event to a perfect end.
The martial arts practitioners around had mostly dispersed, and Fang Duobing had already gone back to his work.
The group drank tea in the pavilion. The flute playing nearby grew impatient. Seeing that Li Lianhua still had no intention of going to find Qiao Wanmian, Wu You had no choice but to volunteer.
“Li Lianhua, since you don’t want to go find Sister A-Mian, I will go find her for you and inquire about where the Lion Soul is. What do you think?”
"Sister A-Mian? When did you become so close to Miss Qiao?"
"Just today, Sister A-Mian took me out for breakfast. It's been so long, I'm getting a little hungry, I need to finish my business quickly and go back for dinner."
"Is this your solution? Building relationships is the first step?"
"Smart, you don't have any other plans yet. Are you going or not? If not, I'll go. I'm really hungry." Wu You sighed, holding her stomach.
"Alright, since you're all so familiar with each other, why don't you go and come back sooner? Do you want me to wait here for you, or do you want to go back first?"
"You should wait here. When I meet Sister A-Mian, I'll ask her to have someone bring you some snacks to fill your stomachs. Then we'll go down the mountain together."
Wu You was still thinking about how to escape later. There was only one way down the mountain, and Li Lianhua was blocking the way at the foot of the mountain. How could he get away?
"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you. If you need anything, just shout my name, I can hear you."
Wu You stood up: "Okay, then you guys wait here first. I'll go find Sister A-Mian. It might take some time to find clues, so please wait a bit."
Wu You guessed that the sword appreciation event had just ended and Qiao Wanmian should still be with Shaoshijian, so he rushed over there.
Good heavens, Fo Bibaishi, Xiao Zijin, and Qiao Wanmian are all there, gathered inside.
Looking at Ji Hanfo, Jiang Baihe, and Yun Biqiu, Wu You immediately postponed his plan to slip away.
Wu You remembered that these people, in order to test whether Li Lianhua was Li Xiangyi, actually used something that Li Xiangyi was allergic to to test him.
It's important to know that allergic reactions can range from mild skin rashes requiring hospital treatment to severe vomiting and even shock.
They had all witnessed Li Xiangyi's allergic reaction. Weren't other methods working? Why did they have to do this? They really deserved to die.
Although they don't know if Li Lianhua has any doubts about the events of winning the championship and searching for the sword together, they wonder if they will still test Li Lianhua.
Even knowing that Li Lianhua's martial arts skills are now so advanced that she is no longer afraid of peanuts and can refuse their unreasonable demands, Wu You still wants to be there to watch and prevent them from having any chance to make things difficult for Li Lianhua.
After calming down, Wu You knocked on the door.
The sudden knocking attracted the attention of the people talking inside, and they all turned to look at Wu You.
Xiao Zijin first sized up the person in front of her. It was someone she didn't recognize. Although the person was wearing a mask she had never seen before, she really didn't know them.
"Who are you? What are you doing here, sneaking around like this? Outsiders aren't allowed here. Get out of here right now!" Xiao Zijin shouted directly.
Ji Hanfo, who was standing nearby, also asked, "What brings you here, young lady? I just saw you with Fang Duobing. Did he have something he wanted you to tell him?"
As a polite person, Wu You first clasped his hands in greeting to everyone before speaking, "I've come to see Sister A-Mian. Sister A-Mian, I need your help with something."
"What do you want?" Qiao Wanmian was also puzzled. Weren't we just separated for a short while? Why did you need to come up with something? Why didn't you say so earlier?
Seeing Qiao Wanmian's response, Xiao Zijin and Ji Hanfo were relieved. It seemed that A-Mian did indeed know this person.
"Sister A-Mian, can I talk to you about this in private?" Wu You asked, feigning shyness.
“Of course, let’s go to my courtyard.” Qiao Wanmian didn’t suspect anything and quickly walked towards Wu You at the door.
Xiao Zijin grabbed Qiao Wanmian's arm: "Are you sure this person is safe? Why don't I go with you?"
"Since this is something we're discussing privately, it's probably not appropriate for you to listen. Just wait for me here."
When Qiao Wanmian walked to his side, Wu You, in front of everyone, took Qiao Wanmian's arm, and the two walked out of the courtyard hand in hand.
Xiao Zijin looked at Wu You's hand, feeling somewhat exasperated, but seeing that Qiao Wanmian had no objection, she could only give in.
Looking at the deans of Fobi Baishi beside her, Xiao Zijin asked, "Do you know who this person is, and why A-Mian is so close to her? I've never heard of her before."
Several people shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they did not know this person.
If she had a teacup or bowl in her hand, Xiao Zijin would definitely throw it on the ground to vent her anger.
Only Shi Shui remained silent. This girl came all this way, but she didn't even show her face, leave her name, or say anything. She even took Qiao Wanmian away. She's quite a character.
Wu You and Qiao Wanmian arrived at the courtyard, and Qiao Wanmian poured Wu You a cup of tea.
"Speak, Youyou, why did you call me out specifically? Is there anything you need my help with?"
Wu You took the tea, sipped it, put the teacup back on the table, and then began to recount the story.
"It's like this, Sister A-Mian, a friend of mine, you remember Li Lianhua from before? One of his friends was murdered many years ago, and he has been searching for the truth and the real culprit all these years."
"Using his identity as a wandering healer, he discovered that his friend's body had been collected by the Lion Soul of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance for some reason. Therefore, he spent the rest of his days searching for the Lion Soul of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, but he could never find it."
"I recently learned that many years ago, Baichuan Academy arrested many remnants of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, and that Lion Soul should have been among them. That's why Sister A-Mian suggested releasing those ordinary Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance citizens whose hands were not stained with blood."
"Therefore, he specifically asked me to ask Sister A-Mian for help to check if there is any record of where that lion spirit went. Sister A-Mian, would you be willing to help?"

Lotus Tower Small Theater
Wu You: Those damned Yun Biqiu, Jiang Baihe, and Ji Hanfo! They made me lose a great opportunity to leave. I'll teach you a lesson!
Itching powder, fennel seeds, croton oil, stinky pills, hair loss pills, sleeping pills, rifampicin capsules, chlorpromazine hydrochloride tablets... (This is purely for entertainment purposes and should not be taken seriously.)
Wait, how did I get these things in my space? Never mind, I'll use them first. Tremble before I do!
Ji Hanfo, Jiang Baihe: Why do I feel a chill on my back? Could it be that I have caught a cold?
Yun Bhikkhu: Not only am I trembling all over, but I also suddenly feel a deep sense of fear. Could it be that Di Feisheng has come up?
