Li Yi looked at Qiao Feng in front of him, and a smile gradually blossomed on his face. This smile seemed to have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, dissolving the barriers and misunderstandings between the two of them. At this moment, in this small tavern, time seemed to have frozen, leaving only the subtle atmosphere between the two of them.

Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect and now a wanderer, also showed a long-lost smile on his face. His deep eyes seemed to hide endless vicissitudes and stories. Li Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Qiao Feng's life was too legendary and too bumpy.

"Brother Qiao, how are you?" Li Yi spoke first, with a hint of emotion in his voice.

Qiao Feng smiled slightly, "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as charming as ever."

The two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere in the tavern gradually became lively. Li Yi filled a glass of wine for Qiao Feng and said, "Brother Qiao, how have you been these years?"

Qiao Feng sighed softly, "I wander around the world without any worries, but I feel free."

Li Yi knew in his heart that behind Qiao Feng's "freedom" was hidden a lot of bitterness and helplessness. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Brother Qiao, are you really not going to return to the Central Plains?"

Qiao Feng's eyes narrowed, and then he regained his composure, "Although the Central Plains is a good place, there is no place for me to stay."

Li Yi felt a pain in his heart. He knew the pain in Qiao Feng's heart, the pain of being misunderstood and rejected. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

At this moment, Qiao Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry about me. Over the years, I have become more open-minded. Although the world is vast, it also has a place for me, Qiao Feng."

Li Yi looked at Qiao Feng's carefree smile and could not help but feel admiration in his heart. He knew that although Qiao Feng was in adversity, he never gave up his love for life. He deeply admired his tenacity and open-mindedness.

"Brother Qiao, you are right. Although the world is vast, we also have our own place." Li Yi also smiled and raised his glass. "Come on, let's toast to our meeting."

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words. At this moment, they seemed to have returned to the days when they fought side by side. At that time, they were fearless and fought for justice. Now, although they have embarked on different paths, the brotherhood has never changed.

After three rounds of drinking, the two talked about interesting things in the martial arts world. Li Yi talked about his experiences in Jiangnan, while Qiao Feng talked about his experiences in the frontier. The two talked and laughed happily, as if they had forgotten all the troubles in the world.

Before he knew it, the night had already deepened. Li Yi looked at Qiao Feng, feeling reluctant to leave. He knew that after this separation, he didn't know when they would meet again.

"Brother Qiao, take care." Li Yi held Qiao Feng's hand tightly, with a hint of sob in his voice.

Qiao Feng patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, take care of yourself too. The road ahead is long, we will meet again in the future."

After saying that, Qiao Feng turned and left, disappearing into the night. Li Yi looked at Qiao Feng's back, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that although Qiao Feng had left, the brotherhood would always remain in his heart.

That night, Li Yi could not fall asleep for a long time. He knew that his encounter and smile with Qiao Feng would become the most beautiful memory of his life. And Qiao Feng would always be the fearless, heroic and righteous hero in his heart.

The summer sun shines through the mottled leaves and onto the ancient bluestone floor. Lord Xiahou stands in the spacious courtyard, his face stern, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and uneasiness. The young man in front of him, Li Yi, holds a long sword and has a calm smile on his face.

"Are you sure you did everything?" Lord Xiahou's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Yi's heart.

Li Yi smiled slightly, and that smile showed both confidence and determination. He slowly raised the long sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Lord Xiahou, and said in a firm tone: "Of course, I did all this. From planning to implementation, every link has been carefully arranged by me."

"Why are you doing this?" Lord Xiahou's voice trembled a little. He couldn't understand why someone who was once loyal to him would suddenly turn against him.

Li Yi's eyes flashed with pain, but soon replaced by determination. He slowly said: "For justice, for those innocent people trampled by you. Although the Xia family is extremely powerful, your actions have already angered the heavens and the people. I can no longer stand by and watch you continue to do whatever you want."

Lord Xia Hou's face turned livid, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you slander the Xia family like this! Do you know what the consequences of betraying the Xia family are?"

Li Yi laughed loudly, his laughter full of disdain. He looked at Lord Xia and said word by word: "I, Li Yi, never regret anything I do. I will have no regrets even if I die today."

After saying that, Li Yi swung his sword and started a fierce battle with the soldiers around him. His swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, and each sword was full of power and determination. However, the number of soldiers was large, and Li Yi gradually fell into a difficult battle.

Li Yi looked at the woman and said in surprise: "It's you?"

The woman smiled and said, "Of course it's me. We'll fight to the end together."

The two stood back to back, wielding their swords like the wind, and killed the surrounding soldiers. However, the soldiers kept coming, and the two gradually became exhausted.

At this moment, Lord Xiahou suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

The soldiers stopped, and Lord Xiahou walked up to Li Yi, looked at him, and said slowly: "I admit that everything you did was for justice. However, your method was too radical. If you can lay down your weapons, I can give you a chance. Let's sit down and have a good talk, maybe we can find a better solution."

Li Yi looked at Lord Xiahou, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. The woman beside him whispered, "Li Yi, don't believe him. He is just stalling for time."

Only Li Yi, Lord Xiahou and the woman were left in the courtyard. The three of them stood there quietly, as if the whole world had gone silent.

Lord Xia looked at Li Yi and said slowly: "You are a brave man. I admit that the Xia family does have many shortcomings. However, we can also change. As long as you are willing to join us, we can make the Xia family better together."

Li Yi looked at Lord Xiahou, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes. The woman beside him whispered: "Li Yi, don't trust him. He is just using you."

Li Yi took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "No, I believe him. This time, I am willing to give him a chance."

After saying that, Li Yi slowly put down the long sword in his hand. Lord Xiahou looked at Li Yi, with a complicated look in his eyes. He waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated.

Li Yi looked at Lord Xia Hou, with a hint of thought in his eyes. He knew that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to change the Xia family and the whole world. He took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay, I am willing to join you. But I have one condition."

Lord Xia Hou's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What are the conditions?"

Lord Xia looked at Li Yi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that Li Yi would put forward such a condition. He pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said: "Okay, I promise you. From now on, the Xia family will definitely follow the path of justice."

Li Yi smiled slightly and sheathed the long sword in his hand. He knew that this was a road full of thorns, but he was willing to fight to the end for justice.

The sun shines on the three people, as if covering them with a layer of golden light. From now on, Li Yi and Lord Xiahou will work together to bring hope and light to the whole world. And that woman will also become their most solid ally, writing a legendary chapter together.

Li Yi looked at the Ryujin Jakka in his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Very good, I didn't expect that my Zanpakutō can already perform Shikai. Aizen, prepare to die!"

The Ryujin Jakka burned in Li Yi's hand, and the flame seemed to have life, jumping on the blade. Li Yi could feel the power of the Ryujin Jakka, a power that could burn everything. He raised his head and looked at Aizen in front of him, his eyes full of determination.

The flames burned more vigorously on the Ryujin Jakka. Every time Li Yi slashed, there was a blazing flame, as if to burn everything. Aizen, relying on the strange ability of Kyoka Suigetsu, kept dodging Li Yi's attacks, and occasionally counterattacked, which gave Li Yi a headache.

"This won't work. We must find Aizen's weakness!" Li Yi thought to himself. He began to slow down the pace of his attack and observed every move of Aizen. Aizen seemed to have noticed Li Yi's intention. He raised his mouth slightly and said, "What? Can't find the weakness? Then give up. You will never be able to defeat me."

"I can never defeat you? That may not be the case!" Li Yi's eyes suddenly became fierce, and the Ryujin Jakka in his hand suddenly burst into a stronger flame, which seemed to burn the entire space. Li Yi jumped high and slashed at Aizen. "Ryujin Jakka: Flame Dance!"

A huge flame slash fell from the sky, Aizen's face changed, and he hurriedly waved Jinghua Shuiyue to defend. However, the power of this flame slash exceeded his expectations, Jinghua Shuiyue's water wave defense was instantly defeated, and the flame slash fell directly on Aizen.

Aizen was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to stand up, but found that his body had been burned by the flames and his strength was constantly fading. Li Yi slowly walked in front of Aizen, looked at his embarrassed appearance, and said coldly: "Aizen, you lose."

Aizen raised his head and looked at the Ryujin Jakka in Li Yi's hand, his eyes full of unwillingness. "I lost... but I won't give up. One day, I will come back again!" After Aizen finished speaking, his body suddenly turned into a ball of mist and disappeared into the air.

Li Yi looked at the place where Aizen disappeared, but he didn't relax. He knew that Aizen's strength was unfathomable, and this time he just won by luck. But he also understood a truth, as long as he kept working hard and getting stronger, he would be able to defeat all enemies.

The Flowing Blade was burning in Li Yi's hand, as if responding to his words. Li Yi turned and left, disappearing into the darkness. The flame of the Flowing Blade left a long trail of fire behind him, illuminating the road ahead.
