Li Qingshan basically struggled to believe his eyes. He had already considered many possible situations that Yu Zijian could face, such as carrying several hundred kilograms of firewood as she trudged along a snow-covered mountain path, or gazing in the direction of her home in worry …
As for her father, Yu Shukuang, he had probably imagined it to be ten times more severe than Li Qingshan. The Sacred Church
However, in reality, not only did Yu Zijian not suffer at all, but she even smiled happily instead.
She strolled through the streets happily with a few Qi Practitioners. There were both men and women, some strong and some weak, but they all wore green robes with green vines embroidered on their collars and sleeves.
Li Qingshan had seen caretaker Liu before, so he knew this was the uniform of the Green Vine mountain.
Yu Zijian stood among them. Although she was not exactly the moon that everyone revolved around, he could tell that everyone liked her very much. They introduced the various strange goods on the streets to her in a friendly manner.
Apart from the fact that her two buns had become the Hovering Void Bun that was more in line with female cultivators, she basically did not change at all. She did not seem like she had been bullied no matter what.
Yu Zijian sensed the gaze and turned around. She saw Li Qingshan's burly figure that stood out from the crowd with a single glance. Her mouth widened in surprise before turning into joy and joy. She called out, "Niu Juxia!" She attracted the attention of everyone in the market.
She jogged over to Li Qingshan. "Why have you come? Where's my father? Has he come? "As she said that, she looked around Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan said, "Your father hasn't come. I've come to see you. Are you … alright?" As long as he was not blind, he could tell that she was fine.
"Yep, yep!" Yu Zijian nodded.
"Zijian, is this your friend?" The Qi Practitioners walked over as well. The person in the lead was a young man at the sixth layer. He asked in confusion.
Yu Zijian glanced at Li Qingshan first, as if she was confirming that she could call herself his friend. Seeing how he did not object, she smiled boldly. "Yeah!" With that, she glanced at him again to see whether he would become angry or not. The Sacred Church
How could Li Qingshan turn down becoming friends with a cute girl like that?
Yu Zijian introduced them to each other. Only then did Li Qingshan learn that the leading sixth layer Qi Practitioner was called Mu Zhicong. Although he seemed rather modest, he gave off a faint sense of superiority. This was not just a sense of superiority from his strength, but also the pride from his sect. The three fellow disciples beside him gave Li Qingshan the same feeling to some extent.
This sense of superiority was not a bad thing for their sects. Instead, it was a good thing. It demonstrated that they had a very high recognition of the Green Vine mountain, which was why they took pride in being from the Green Vine mountain.
It was not only did it not as bad, but it too, it, but it also proved that it was to say.
"And and and," Qi, and and, it to say and said, it and and said, "One and and," Yu said. to say, "t" and "t."
Mu Zhicong's heart skipped a beat. He said in surprise, "Don't tell me you're the Niu Juxia who threw Song Ming over the wall in a single move!?"
Li Qingshan smiled in tacit agreement. He knew that Song Ming was the so-called senior brother Song. News sure spread quickly. Little did he know that even though the three mountains were allies, they were also competitors. The scandals between their disciples would always spread the fastest. Otherwise, Liu Fengrui would not have come to the Proud Sword manor so quickly.
The disciples immediately felt deep respect towards Li Qingshan. His face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot revealed a white, toothy smile. It seemed to be filled with unfathomable depth.
The only female disciple, Cheng Jiali, asked curiously, "May I ask which mountain you cultivate on, sir? What's your cultivation right now? "
Li Qingshan smiled. "I was born with tremendous strength, and I happened to obtain a body tempering cultivation method in the mountains. In terms of practising qi, I'm nowhere near as good as you, sir Mu."
Independent cultivator, body tempering.
They quickly concluded these two phrases from what Li Qingshan had said, and their attitudes changed once again. They recovered the slight sense of superiority that disciples of orthodox sects possessed. "Body Tempering"
Body Tempering was the same as external martial arts in the jianghu. It would always be looked down upon. Of course, being able to practise both internal and external martial arts was another matter. Li Qingshan was clearly not one of them. Independent cultivators who did not belong to any sects or clans were like weeds. They were often pressured and beaten up by the people of sects and clans.
Although Li Qingshan was large and tall, he had already begun to feel inferior in their hearts.
In particular, Mu Zhicong's displeasure towards Yu Zijian's closeness with Li Qingshan had basically vanished completely. This guy's strength is not weak, but he's just a brute. If he can't reach Qi Practitioner, what's the use of strength no matter how strong he is? And, he's so ugly. I've underestimated myself by treating him as an opponent.
Li Qingshan could clearly sense the many changes in their emotions. His smile did not change, and he sighed slightly over the fickleness of the world. He did not take it to heart. Sucking up to those in power had always been human nature, so there was nothing to be displeased about.
However, this was all because Li Qingshan was strong enough, and he was confident enough. Otherwise, it would be unavoidable for him to develop some ill feelings. A person's breadth of mind had always been directly related to their strength. When weaker people tried to act like they were broad-minded, it would often just be to comfort themselves.
"I've come to visit her in her father's place. She was forcefully taken away by a senior brother surnamed Liu. Who knows how worried her father is." Li Qingshan's voice carried a vague sense of questioning. This child was simple-minded, but he had to stand up for her.
"You're talking about senior brother Liu? Master has already punished him. "The young man furrowed his brows slightly. He was slightly displeased by Li Qingshan's questioning.
Li Qingshan became even more surprised. Although he had only seen caretaker Liu once, he should be a powerful Qi Practitioner who had split open a sea of qi. He wondered just how this girl managed to make the sect master of the Green Vine City punish his beloved disciple for her.
Li Qingshan could tell these people were not unreasonable. He glanced at a teahouse on the side. It was quiet and elegant inside, and when he saw the signboard on the door, it read "Tranquil Teahouse". It really did live up to its name. Sure enough, there were not a lot of people inside. It was very tranquil.
"This isn't a place to talk. Please come in and have some tea. I'd like to ask Zijian a few things in her father's place."
This was the first time Yu Zijian had heard him directly refer to her by name. She found it strange, but when she thought about how he had specially come to visit her for her sake, her heart warmed up. Her ears reddened first, and she pinched the corner of her clothes. She had no idea what to say. All she thought was that Niu Juxia really was a good person!
This was the first time Mu Zhicong had seen Yu Zijian behave like this. He felt jealous for some reason. He asked with a strange smile, "You want to invite us here to drink tea?" After receiving confirmation from Li Qingshan, he exchanged glances with his fellow disciples beside him. They all smiled strangely.
Li Qingshan entered the teahouse and understood why they were smiling. He also understood why the teahouse was so tranquil. There were a few bamboo signs hanging on the west wall, with the prices written on them.
Even the cheapest tea cost seven spiritual stones, while the most expensive ones cost over twenty spiritual stones. Which Qi Practitioner would not buy pills for cultivation or talismans to protect themselves with spiritual stones? Instead, they would drink a pot of tea.
There were no waiters or waiters in the teahouse. There was only a single owner, a skinny old man with grey hair. He was also the tea master of the teahouse. When Li Qingshan and the others entered, they did not even raise their heads. A few curtains were drawn, separating a few private rooms. The people inside seemed to be talking, but there was no sound at all. Clearly, this was the effect of the formation.
Li Qingshan said, "Tsk, this tea sure isn't cheap!"
Yu Zijian pulled Li Qingshan away. "It's too expensive. Let's go somewhere else. There's a steamed bun store on the corner of the street. They use the meat of a three-coloured deer as the filling."
The three disciples of the Green Vine mountain chimed in with smiles. "Yeah, there's nothing special about this tea!"
Their expressions were as expected. Independent cultivators were basically synonymous with poverty. They did not even have enough money to buy pills, so where would they get the money to buy the famous tea from the Tranquil teahouse? Of course, they did not have any ill intentions, but watching a bumpkin make a fool of himself was always a delightful matter.
It was obviously impossible for the group of people to just leave with their tails between their legs. At a time like this, a generous and forthright man obviously had to come and save the situation.
Mu Zhicong said, "The Tranquil teahouse is extremely renowned in the cultivation world. Being able to enjoy a cup of tea from there is basically the greatest enjoyment in life. Since you're here, you might as well take things as you can. Since you're Zijian's friend, I should be the one to treat you since you've come to the Green Vine mountain."
Li Qingshan did not even know about the renowned Tranquil teahouse, so he was obviously extremely ignorant.
Cheng Jiali glanced at Mu Zhicong affectionately. "Then we'll have to make senior brother pay today. Zijian, why don't you thank senior brother? Let alone someone from a small place like this, even the few of us haven't tasted something so extravagant before. "
Only then did Li Qingshan sense Cheng Jiali's hostility towards Yu Zijian. She was clearly saying that Yu Zijian was a bumpkin just like him. This was just how troublesome humans were. The hostility of daemons was on their bodies, but the hostility of humans was in their hearts.
However, Yu Zijian just happened to be unable to understand what he was trying to say. She said in embarrassment, "Thank you, senior brother Mu. Actually, I'd like to try what such expensive tea tastes like too. Let's drink the Cloudmist tea! "
The Cloudmist tea was the cheapest type of tea. Naive and straightforward women were already rare, but it was even rarer for her to be kind and considerate. She seemed to possess the best aspects of her father and mother. The more he spent time with her, the more he found out about her adorableness and preciousness.
Mu Zhicong's gaze became gentler. "Zijian, we'll drink whatever you want."
Cheng Jiali's smile stiffened slightly, while the gazes of the two other disciples towards her seemed to contain a hint of mockery.
Li Qingshan snickered inside. This was like a clash between a third-rate master and a great Qi Practitioner. As soon as they clashed, Cheng Jiali had suffered a crushing defeat.
Cheng Jiali's appearance was not bad, but she lacked the kind of charm that could move people's hearts. It was just like when it came to the same song, some people could sing it in a normal manner. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it did not matter even if they did not listen to it, while others could sing it to the heart.
Just when Mu Zhicong wanted to greet the tea brewer, he was stopped by Li Qingshan. He grinned. "We might come from a small place, but we can still afford a sip of tea. Isn't that right, Zijian?"
Only then did Yu Zijian suddenly realise what Cheng Jiali was trying to say Just Now. She frowned. "Exactly!" She was annoyed inside. You can look down on me, but how can you look down on Niu Juxia?
