Chapter 169 Lotus Tower 43
When Li Lianhua opened her eyes again, she lay there quietly, motionless, just staring blankly at the roof above, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.
At this moment, Fang Duobing walked in with a look of joy on his face. Seeing the awakened Li Lianhua, he immediately walked up to her and asked with concern, "Li Lianhua, you're finally awake! How do you feel now?"
After he finished speaking, his bright big eyes blinked and he stared at Li Lianhua intently, waiting for his answer.
After hearing the noise, Lin Jiu, Li Xiangyi and Li Xu also walked in.
"You're finally awake! If you sleep any longer, I'll start to doubt whether my antidote has lost its effect!" Lin Jiu teased.
However, the room then fell into silence and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
Li Xiangyi noticed Li Lianhua's lifeless appearance, frowned slightly, and then said, "If you still look half-dead, then my wife really shouldn't have saved you."
Lin Jiu gently pulled Li Xiangyi, with a hint of worry and dissatisfaction in his eyes, signaling him not to speak so bluntly.
After all, Li Lianhua had just suffered betrayal from her senior brother and learned the truth about her master's death, and she was suffering a huge blow in her heart.
Li Xiangyi curled his lips, but still followed Lin Jiu's hint and softened his tone a little: "Li Lianhua, I know you are upset, but you can't keep being depressed like this. If I were you, facing such a situation, I would definitely make those who betrayed me pay the price they deserve!
Besides, your master also died because of a villain, so who are you doing this to? I think if Shan Gudao saw you like this, he would be very happy, after all, he finally succeeded in stepping on you.
Looking at Li Lianhua's slightly trembling body, Li Xiangyi paused and continued, "Have you ever returned to Yunyin Mountain in recent years? Have you ever visited your mistress? Have you ever paid homage to your master?"
Every question was like a sharp knife, deeply hurting Li Lianhua's heart.
Li Lianhua lay on the bed in a daze, her face as pale as paper and her eyes empty and lifeless.
These problems were undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. He felt that his world had completely collapsed. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and instantly soaked the pillow.
Li Lianhua always thought that she had no longer cared about the past, and the pain and hurt she had experienced seemed to have been buried deep in her heart by time.
However, when the memories came back to him, he realized that the past was not forgotten, but was deeply engraved in his heart, but he had been deliberately avoiding it.
Li Lianhua was filled with regret and self-blame when she thought of her master and his wife who had raised her since she was a child.
He recalled every detail of the past, and thought of the care and teachings of his master and mistress, and his heart was filled with pain.
For so many years, he didn't dare to face them because of avoiding them, and he didn't even go back to take a look.
He felt that he had failed them in raising and teaching him, and the guilt in his heart grew stronger.
Now, he realized that he had missed so much, and the guilt he felt was like a knife in his heart. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he was really an unfilial person.
As for Shan Gudao, Li Lianhua had even more complicated feelings.
The friendship of relying on each other in childhood and supporting each other for more than ten years afterwards is not so easy to erase, otherwise he would not have persisted in looking for Shan Gudao's body for ten years.
However, when he thought of Shan Gudao killing his master, he hated Shan Gudao to the extreme.
Li Lianhua knew that no matter what, he could not forget the kindness of Shan Guyao who helped him when he was young, otherwise he might not live to see his master find him.
However, he also clearly understood that the crimes committed by Shan Gudao were unforgivable.
Li Lianhua was in deep conflict, not knowing how to deal with this complex emotion. He could only silently endure the torment in his heart.
Fang Duobing said worriedly: "Li..."
Before he could finish, he was pulled back by Lin Jiu, "Let's go out first and leave him alone!"
Fang Duobing stammered, but finally said nothing more. He went out with Lin Jiu and the others, and considerately closed the door.
