Chapter 252 Lotus Tower (78)
"Yun Biqiu," Li Xiangyi finally spoke, his voice calm and indifferent, "Do you really know you are wrong?"
"I know, I know!" Yun Biqiu nodded repeatedly, his face covered with tears and snot. "I really know I was wrong! Sect Master, I..."
"What's your mistake?" Li Xiangyi interrupted him, his voice still calm.
"I...I was wrong to betray you and Sigumen..." Yun Biqiu said tremblingly.
"I...I was wrong to believe Jiao Liqiao's slander, which caused you to be seriously injured and caused the Sigumen to fall apart..." Yun Biqiu's voice became lower and lower, and his head was buried deeply.
"What else?" Li Xiangyi's voice was still calm, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yun Biqiu's heart again and again.
"I...I..." Yun Biqiu's body began to tremble violently. He raised his head and looked at Li Xiangyi, his eyes filled with pain and confusion, "I...I don't know..."
"You don't know?" Li Xiangyi's voice suddenly became stern. "You don't know where you went wrong? You don't know what you've done all these years? You don't know how many people you've harmed and how many families you've destroyed?"
Every word Li Xiangyi said was like a sharp blade, piercing Yun Biqiu's heart and making him feel like dying.
"Do you think that kneeling here, crying a few times, and saying a few words of repentance can make up for the sins you have committed?" Li Xiangyi's voice became colder and colder. "Do you think that if you die, everything will be over?"
Yun Biqiu's body trembled even more violently. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.
"You are wrong, Yun Biqiu," Li Xiangyi's voice became calm again. "The mistakes you made cannot be made up for with a few words, nor can they be solved by your death."
He looked at Yun Biqiu, his eyes filled with disappointment and pity. "What you should really do is not to confess to me here, but to apologize to those you have hurt and make up for the mistakes you have made."
Yun Biqiu stared at Li Xiangyi blankly, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Master... I..." He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"Think about it carefully, Yun Biqiu," Li Xiangyi said finally, "think about what you really should do."
"Wanwan and I will cure you. As for the future, you can handle it yourself." Li Xiangyi's voice was calm without a trace of ripples, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Yun Biqiu suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
He originally thought that he was doomed to die, but he didn't expect that Li Xiangyi would choose to save him.
"Master..." Yun Biqiu's voice trembled, with a hint of tears in his voice, "You...are you really willing to save me?"
Li Xiangyi did not answer, but glanced at him indifferently, then turned to Qiao Wanwan beside him and said, "Wanwan, let's get started."
Qiao Wanwan nodded, walked to Yun Biqiu, and said gently: "Senior Brother Yun, relax a little and don't resist."
Yun Biqiu looked at Qiao Wanwan, his eyes filled with gratitude and guilt.
He slowly closed his eyes and put his fate in the hands of Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan.
Qiao Wanwan twisted the golden needle with her slender fingers and accurately inserted it into several major acupoints on his body.
"Yun Biqiu, relax." Her voice was soft, but with unquestionable firmness.
Li Xiangyi stood in front of Yun Biqiu, forming seals with his hands, muttering something, urging Yangzhou Man, and a warm breath enveloped Yun Biqiu.
Yun Biqiu only felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his body, which was originally in great pain, gradually became relaxed.
His complexion gradually regained its rosiness and was no longer as pale as before.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Qiao Wanwan's forehead and her face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Li Xiangyi's expression was also somewhat solemn. He knew that there could not be any mistakes in the detoxification process, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Time passed little by little, and the room was so quiet that only the breathing of the three people could be heard.
Suddenly, Yun Biqiu groaned and a mouthful of black blood spurted out, splashing onto the ground.
Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan withdrew their hands at the same time and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, the poison has been removed." Li Xiangyi said with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Qiao Wanwan also nodded, a relieved smile on her face.
Yun Biqiu slowly opened his eyes, feeling unprecedented relaxation in his body, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Sect Master, and thank you, Sister Qiao." Yun Biqiu struggled to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Li Xiangyi.
"You are still very weak, so you should have a good rest first." Li Xiangyi said.
Yun Biqiu nodded, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Master, where have you been all these years? For the past ten years, I have been hoping that you were still alive." Yun Biqiu looked at Li Xiangyi, his eyes full of excitement and guilt.
"Stop, I don't want to hear you continue to confess," Li Xiangyi interrupted Yun Biqiu.
"After the great war, Wanwan transferred the Bicha poison from my body to hers, and I've been searching for a way to detoxify it for the past ten years.
I suspect there were many suspicious points in the battle between the Si Gu Men and the Jin Yuan League ten years ago, and I have been searching for these clues over the years."
Yun Biqiu's body shook. He didn't expect that so many things would happen after Li Xiangyi was injured.
"Master, what you mean is..." Yun Biqiu's voice trembled a little.
"I'm afraid what happened back then wasn't that simple," Li Xiangyi said.
"I suspect someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes, deliberately provoking a dispute between the Si Gu Clan and the Jin Yuan League."
Yun Biqiu's face turned pale. He recalled some details from that year, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Master, I...what should I do?" Yun Biqiu asked, with a hint of confusion in his voice.
"You should take good care of your injuries first. Once you recover, you can investigate what happened back then." Li Xiangyi said.
"Yes, Master." Yun Biqiu nodded, his eyes full of determination.
"Since it was Jiao Liqiao who found you back then, and Di Feisheng was also unaware of this matter, then the traitor in the Golden Yuan League should be Jiao Liqiao. As for the traitor in the Sigumen, it remains to be verified," Li Xiangyi's voice was low and powerful.
"Yun Biqiu, I'm not in a position to show up right now. If you feel guilty about what happened back then, you can investigate who provoked the war between the Sigu Clan and the Golden Yuan League."
Yun Biqiu's body shook. He raised his head and looked at Li Xiangyi with determination in his eyes.
The room fell into silence, with only the whistling of the wind outside the window.
Yun Biqiu looked at Li Xiangyi's back, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration.
Li Xiangyi not only saved his life, but also gave him a chance to start a new life.
He will definitely cherish this opportunity and prove his worth with his actions.
"Master..." Yun Biqiu suddenly spoke, "Over the years, I've been living in regret and self-blame. I've thought about ending my life countless times, but I didn't have the courage. I know the mistakes I made are irreparable, but I still want to do my best to do something for the Si Gu Clan."
Li Xiangyi didn't look back, but said calmly: "The past is the past, what's important is the future."
"Yes, Sect Master." Yun Biqiu said, "I will cherish the future and will not let you down again."
Li Xiangyi nodded, then turned and left the room.
Yun Biqiu looked at Li Xiangyi's departing back, his heart filled with hope.
