Li Qingshan rejoiced inside. He immediately stopped cultivating and stood up. Right when he was about to leave, he sensed another aura.
An armoured man stood on the mountain opposite Qing Xiao's dwelling. He seemed to be in his thirties or forties, and he was at the second heavenly tribulation. He had a square face with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a high nose bridge. He seemed rather masculine.
"Junior sister, is this really his dwelling?"
"Senior brother Yue, do you think I'd even remember something like that?" Han Qiongzhi said.
"You've misunderstood, junior sister. I don't think the Chain mountains are some famed mountain with abundant spiritual qi. It doesn't seem to match the White Hawk commander's identity, which is why I have this question. Not to mention, it's been so many years, so it's nothing strange even if you remember incorrectly, "senior brother Yue said.
"How can I remember incorrectly? When he built this dwelling, he wasn't even some White Hawk commander yet!" Han Qiongzhi became nostalgic, but she was also rather disappointed. "Sigh, looks like he's not in the dwelling."
"Junior sister, don't blame me for being rude. Since he's returned to the Green province, he should have come to see you as soon as possible. Why did he make you come find him instead?"
This was the first time senior brother Yue had seen Han Qiongzhi dress up so meticulously in all these years. She was radiant, and he could not help but sigh inside.
"He saw Tieyi and knows I'm in secluded cultivation," Han Qiongzhi explained.
"If it were me, I'd definitely wait at the entrance for you to emerge. That's the only way I can demonstrate my sincerity," senior brother Yue smiled.
"If you keep talking nonsense with me, I'll get him to beat you up!" Han Qiongzhi said in exasperation.
"Haha, that's exactly what I wanted. I've heard you mention it for so many years. I've wanted to compete with this renowned Li Qingshan a long time ago!" Senior brother Yue laughed aloud, raring to go.
"There's no need for a competition. Go find a locust plague yourself. You'll be impressive if you survive!"
After leaving the Green province for so many years, Li Qingshan swept through the locust plague as soon as he returned, saving the prefectural city of Clear River. His reputation flourished once again, and Han Qiongzhi felt proud too.
"Junior Sister, you're making things difficult for me. I don't even have the Asura Field. How can I deal with so many locusts?"
Senior apprentice-brother Yue explained. He was extremely envious of Li Qingshan. The Asura Field was a supreme treasure of the military, and not only was it extremely beneficial to one's cultivation, it also had many other miraculous uses. In all of Qing Province, there was only one 'Great General King', and now there was a second one.
"Cut the crap. If you don't dare, then you don't dare!"
Han Qiongzhi turned around and was about to leave when the stone door suddenly opened. She turned around and saw the familiar figure and smiling face. Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't say a single word.
Li Qingshan's heart was also not calm. Seeing her fiery red dress, he recalled the past and arrived in front of her in one step. He embraced her and said apologetically, "I've made you wait for a long time."
"It's okay." Han Qiongzhi shook her head, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She raised her head and touched Li Qingshan's cheek as if she was confirming that this was not a dream. "It's good that you've returned alive. I've always been worried that you'd been killed in the south."
"Don't you know how powerful your husband is? Only I kill people. Why would anyone want to kill me?" Li Qingshan stuck out his chest. Seeing how happy and excited she was, his heart was filled with endless tenderness.
"Stop bragging." Han Qiongzhi's voice was gentle. "Senior apprentice-brother Yue" blinked. He even began to doubt whether this was the little junior sister he knew.
"Qiongzhi, who is this fellow?" Li Qingshan glanced at senior apprentice-brother Yue and asked Han Qiongzhi.
"My name is Yue Bing. I've long heard of Fellow Li's name, so I've come to pay my respects."
Yue Bing leaped onto the cliff and looked at Li Qingshan from head to toe. Although he could not sense any aura from Li Qingshan and could not determine his cultivation, he could feel a sense of power from Li Qingshan. It was as heavy as a mountain, giving off an unshakable feeling. He praised Li Qingshan in his heart. To be able to make little junior sister pay so much attention to him, he was indeed extraordinary!
"Don't listen to his nonsense. This is my senior apprentice-brother. Master sent him to escort me." Han Qiongzhi hugged Li Qingshan's arm and introduced him.
"Fellow Li Qingshan, as soon as you returned to Qingzhou, you dealt a heavy blow to the Flying Locust King. It's really admirable. However, the Flying Locust King's spies are everywhere, so you have to be careful. Otherwise, I don't want to spoil the fun."
"Thank you, Fellow Yue." Li Qingshan cupped his hands and said, "Qiongzhi, you've become a disciple. May I know who your master is?"
"The Great General King, Yue Wuyang. He's also senior apprentice-brother Yue's biological father!" Han Qiongzhi emphasized the last four words.
"The Great General King!" Li Qingshan naturally remembered this Qingzhou's number one militarist. He said to Yue Bing, "I didn't expect Fellow Yue's family to have such a long history. My apologies for not recognizing you!"
"I'm ashamed." Yue Bing blushed slightly and said to Han Qiongzhi, "Junior apprentice-sister, you're too merciless with your words."
"Who asked you to spout nonsense Just Now? It's already good enough that I didn't beat you up." Han Qiongzhi said.
"What's there to be ashamed about?" Li Qingshan was a little confused. To have such a good father, one should feel proud!
"Fellow Li Qingshan is of ordinary birth, but you relied on your own ability to fight against the locust plague. Your name is known throughout Qingzhou. I've been under the shadow of my family for many years. Even though I have a body of cultivation, I still have to use my father's name. How can I not feel ashamed? "
Li Qingshan had a better impression of this Yue Bing. Before he could say anything, a cheer came from behind.
"Well said. I, Li Fengyuan, will make a name for myself. I will not rely on my father's name." Little Phoenix walked out of the cave and said in high spirits.
Yue Bing suddenly felt a strong aura coming towards him. It seemed to be demonic aura, but it was different.
Han Qiongzhi keenly noticed Li Fengyuan's surname. She asked, "Your father is?"
"Li Qingshan!" Little Phoenix said proudly.
"Li, Qing, Shan!" Han Qiongzhi's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, "I've tolerated your nonsense outside. But now you've even brought my son back. Li Qingshan, what do you want?"
"Qiongzhi, don't misunderstand. He's not my biological son. He's my godson. Godson!" Li Qingshan hurriedly explained. The biological one hasn't been born yet!
"Really?" Han Qiongzhi said doubtfully.
"Of course it's true. Brat, quickly transform into your original form." Li Qingshan kicked the little phoenix off the cliff. With a phoenix's cry, the phoenix spread its wings and flew around the valley, shining with resplendent light.
"This is … a phoenix?" Yue Bing was dumbfounded.
"You see, how can I give birth to a bird?"
"Who can say for sure? Even if this isn't, there might be more outside. "Han Qiongzhi said.
"You're thinking too much. If there is, it's with you!" Li Qingshan laughed. A woman's intuition was really scary.
Yue Bing stared at Little Phoenix. This wasn't the key to the matter, right? That was a legendary phoenix!
"Is Little Ann inside?" Han Qiongzhi tilted her head and looked at the cave's stone door.
"She's cultivating in seclusion. She'll only come out after a while. Why don't we go to the prefecture and revisit the old place?" Li Qingshan suggested. It wasn't convenient for others to see the scene of Little Ann cultivating.
"Come to my house! My master wants to see you. "Han Qiongzhi said.
"The Great General King is in the Clear River prefecture! Just to see me? "
