Chapter 141: Little Li Flying Daggers.

"Is this Rama's remains?" Dongfang Bubai said with a hint of disdain, looking at the shrunken body before him, resembling a piece of dried bacon, with only the upper half remaining.

After all, it looked truly unsightly, and being a human remains, it certainly didn't seem like something worthwhile.

Fortunately, the Rama remains seemed to have been truly dried, so there wasn't any foul odor. Otherwise, Dongfang Bubai wouldn't have bothered touching it at all.

Yaoyue only glanced at the remains once and didn't look at them again.

After all, for Yaoyue, Rama's remains didn't hold much appeal.

The only valuable aspect of Rama's remains was the discovery of Rama's inner energy. However, Rama's inner energy was only extremely effective in healing injuries, and Yaoyue wasn't necessarily impressed by its other benefits.

After all, while Rama's inner energy was miraculous, the Shenzhaojing could replace it to a certain extent. With the Shenzhaojing, Lianxing could recover without the need for Rama's inner energy.

If it weren't for Ye Xiu's desire for and particular interest in the Rama Internal Power, Yao Yue wouldn't have bothered with it.

After all, Yao Yue's talent, understanding, and strength were all top-notch. She was incredibly confident in her own creation, the Mingyu Gong. Even though her Mingyu Gong had reached its peak, she was confident she could create subsequent techniques.

Therefore, she had little interest in the Rama Internal Power.

Dongfang Bubai shared a similar sentiment.

In reality, aside from eunuchs seeking to conceive a younger brother and individuals like Yu Daying who needed Rama Internal Power to heal injuries, there weren't many exceptionally skilled masters interested in obtaining Rama's remains.

Even if it weren't for Yu Daying, Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't have necessarily sought Rama's remains.

However, because Ye Xiu needed them, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue deliberately retrieved Rama's remains at night.

After all, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue knew they weren't the only ones who had read Ye Xiu's diary. They had no interest in Rama's remains, but what if someone else did? If Rama's remains were taken by someone else, Ye Xiu would be left helpless.

Of course, there was another crucial point: what if that woman came to Ye Xiu with half of Rama's remains, hoping to gain his favor?

So, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, taking advantage of the tussle outside the city, ran to Yunhe Temple and dug up Rama's remains.

"Let's go," Dongfang Bubai said casually, wrapping them in a bundle. With Yaoyue, they returned to Nanjing.

Just as Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had returned with Rama's remains, two more figures appeared at Yunhe Temple.

These two, a man and a woman, were surprisingly beautiful. The woman was not only beautiful, but also exuded a gentle aura, giving off the impression of a devoted wife and mother. The man had a ramen-like hairstyle, but even with that style, he still looked incredibly handsome, especially his sword-like brows. However, he seemed to be in poor health, coughing occasionally.

These two people were Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan.

Lin Shiyin, Li Xunhuan, and Long Xiaoyun had just arrived in Nanjing today. After arriving in Nanjing, they first found a place to stay. Later, Lin Shiyin took Li Xunhuan to Yunhe Temple outside the city.

Lin Shiyin felt a bit apologetic.

After all, Rama's body was what the diary's owner desired, and even the diary's location was recorded by the owner.

Now, because Lin Shiyin had peeked into someone else's diary, she had sneaked in and tried to steal Rama's body beforehand. This made her feel like a thief, a burglar.

Li Xunhuan, following behind Lin Shiyin, looked at her as she walked in front of him, a flicker of tenderness in his eyes. This woman he loved most, he had personally pushed into Long Xiaoyun's arms.

It was impossible to say that Li Xunhuan had never regretted his decision. He had certainly had regrets over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have returned at this moment.

But Li Xunhuan was extremely restrained, knowing what he should and shouldn't do.

This time, he felt incredibly lucky to be able to travel with Lin Shiyin, and he felt incredibly happy.

But he couldn't express this feeling, keeping it to himself.

"Shiyin, you—"

"Please call me Madam Long!" Lin Shiyin interrupted Li Xunhuan.

Hearing the name Madam Long, a trace of pain flashed in Li Xunhuan's eyes. "Madam Long, how did you know Rama's body was here?"

"You don't know that," Lin Shiyin said coldly, even hinting at a chill, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Li Xunhuan.

Seeing this, Li Xunhuan smiled wryly, but he closed his mouth, saying nothing more.

Lin Shiyin's choking silenced Li Xunhuan, and now, filled with guilt towards the diary's owner, she entered Yunhe Temple.

"This—" Seeing a hole dug in front of a grave, Lin Shiyin's expression changed slightly.

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although Rama's remains had been taken away, leaving her with no way to recover them, at least she no longer had to bear the guilt.

Li Xunhuan, seeing this, probably understood: Rama's remains must have been buried here before, but someone had taken them away first.

Li Xunhuan squatted down and felt the dirt in the hole. "This hole was just dug, so the person shouldn't have gone far," Li Xunhuan said to Lin Shiyin.

"Just dug it up?" Lin Shiyin was stunned. What a coincidence.

"Shiyin, I'm going after them now," Li Xunhuan said, turning and chasing after them.

"Wait—" Lin Shiyin tried to call out to Li Xunhuan, but Li Xunhuan disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Shiyin looked in the direction where Li Xunhuan disappeared and couldn't help but sigh.

She simply stopped worrying about it. If Li Xunhuan could retrieve Rama's body, then she would take it back to her son, Long Xiaoyun. If Li Xunhuan failed, then she wouldn't have to feel guilty or uneasy.

Li Xunhuan, on the other hand, followed the clues left by Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai and quickly caught up with them.

It was also because Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai were a little careless and didn't deliberately hide their tracks.

It was mainly because Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai were both domineering and strong women. Asking them to do something sneaky was not in line with their character.

On the other hand, they were both masters of the Grandmaster level now. They felt that they were powerful, or perhaps they were starting to get cocky, so they were inevitably a little careless. As a result, they left behind some very faint traces that would have disappeared a little later.

But he didn't expect to run into Li Xunhuan, and Li Xunhuan followed him.

Because Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai weren't using their full power, their speed, while not slow, wasn't exceptionally fast either. They

were actually caught up by Li Xunhuan.

"Ladies, please stay!" Li Xunhuan noticed the two women ahead and a bundle in Dongfang Bubai's hand. He couldn't help but ask them to stay. Simultaneously, his inner Qi surged, his Qinggong speed suddenly increasing. He rushed in front of Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue, blocking their path.

"Huh?" Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue both frowned, looking at Li Xunhuan disapprovingly.

Even though Li Xunhuan was handsome, just a bit less handsome than Ye Xiu, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were completely unimpressed by him.

"Excuse me, ladies, is that Rama's body?" Li Xunhuan asked directly, though his expression was tinged with embarrassment. After all, the role he was playing was that of a bandit. It wasn't exactly a decent one, so naturally, he felt a sense of embarrassment.

"Are you here for Rama's remains? From—" Dongfang Bubai was about to mention the diary when a mysterious force stopped her.

Dongfang Bubai, and even Yaoyue, could exclude Li Xunhuan from the discussion; Li Xunhuan didn't know about Rama's remains from the diary.

Li Xunhuan was a little confused, not knowing why Dongfang Bubai had gotten stuck mid-sentence.

"Girls, I desperately need Rama's remains. If possible, please let me have them. But rest assured, once I obtain Rama's inner strength, I will give it and even the entire inner strength to you. How's that?" Li Xunhuan tried to find the best of both worlds.

"Hmph!" Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue snorted in unison.

While the frail-looking man's words were pleasant, who were they? They were Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue. Would they accept something like alms?

Li Xunhuan's seemingly negotiating words directly infuriated Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue. Did they want a man's handout?

"If you want Rama's body, then come get it yourself!" Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly, casually tossing Rama's remains at the enemy before charging directly at Li Xunhuan.

It was then that Li Xunhuan realized, with astonishment, that both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue exuded a dangerous aura.

"Danger?" Li Xunhuan was startled.

Even a Grandmaster would feel apprehensive, even threatened, when Li Xunhuan unleashed his Little Li Flying Dagger.

But now, he sensed a sense of danger from Dongfang Bubai.

This meant the woman charging at him was already at the Grandmaster level.

Without a second thought, Li Xunhuan instinctively grasped his flying knife.

"Huh?" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, for in that instant, she had sensed a hint of danger.

Li Xunhuan's strength wasn't particularly strong, only at the eighth level of Grandmaster, not even the ninth. Yet, with just this flying knife, he had made Dongfang Bubai sense danger.

At that moment, a flash of cold light flashed, and Dongfang Bubai flicked her finger and unleashed an embroidery needle.

The needle seemed to strike a flying knife, but it failed to even block it. A flicker of surprise crossed Dongfang Bubai's eyes. While it appeared as if the needle had struck the knife, she knew it was merely a visual error; her needle hadn't even touched the knife.

Dongfang Bubai abruptly stopped and dodged to the side.

However, the knife still flew past her face, severing a strand of her hair.

Dongfang Bubai reached out and caught the severed strand, staring at Li Xunhuan in surprise.

Although Li Xunhuan's knife hadn't been intended to harm her, Dongfang Bubai dodged with all her might, yet it still severed a strand of her hair. Even a single strand was enough to demonstrate the knife's power.

That knife truly posed a threat to even a Grandmaster.

But the person who had fired the flying knife wasn't even a Grandmaster.

"Little Li Feidao? Li Xunhuan?"

"Ahem, ahem, it's me. I didn't expect the young lady to be so powerful, and I, Li, have made a fool of myself." Li Xunhuan's face was filled with bitterness.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Li Xunhuan quietly. She hadn't expected to meet him here.

"So you wanted Rama's remains to treat your lung injury?" Dongfang Bubai asked.

Dongfang Bubai knew about Li Xunhuan. When Li Xunhuan was traveling around the martial arts world, Dongfang Bubai had just joined the Sun Moon Sect. Back then, Little Li Feidao's reputation for never missing a target had also made Dongfang Bubai yearn for him.

But she hadn't expected to meet Li Xunhuan here after all these years.

"That's not the case. Actually, when I was coming back, I accidentally injured the son of an old friend. So I wanted to use Rama's remains to deduce Rama's internal energy and use it to treat the son of my old friend. But I didn't expect that Li was just sitting in a well and looking at the world." Li Xunhuan sighed.

"Humph!" Yaoyue snorted coldly. She didn't have any good feelings towards Li Xunhuan at all. Originally, Lin Shiyin liked him, but he personally pushed Lin Shiyin to a sinister villain like Long Xiaoyun. It can be said that Li Xunhuan almost ruined Lin Shiyin's life.

However, at this time, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue couldn't help but look at each other. They guessed from Li Xunhuan's identity that Lin Shiyin might also be one of the owners of the diary. Otherwise, how could she let Li Xunhuan come to the outskirts of Nanjing.

"Did Lin Shiyin come here too?" Dongfang Bubai asked.

"This--" A trace of vigilance flashed in Li Xunhuan's eyes.

"It's her!" Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue both showed a hint of realization.
