The giant lumberman returned to his senses and bellowed at the figure with a strange tone, "I'm definitely going!"
It was not just out of gratitude towards Han Tieyi for saving his life. Even though giant lumberjacks had gained freedom, otherfolk were basically unable to move around in this world. They might still be captured and turned into slaves. "w, w..
| I&| "
Han Tieyi's footsteps did not change at all, as if he did not hear it at all, or perhaps he had already anticipated it. He vanished in the blink of an eye.
Han Qiongzhi muttered, "What a weird temper!"
Li Qingshan secretly admired him. Han Tieyi seemed cold and aloof, but he possessed the bearing of a great general. To be able to stand out among the hundreds of millions of people in the Clear River prefecture and become the primary disciple of the school of the Military, he truly was anything but ordinary.
"That's just how he is. Don't take offense." Hwa Seung-zan passed the embroidered box with the Virtue Accumulation pill to Li Qingshan, which made the disciples of legalism green with envy.
Many of them had heard of this before, but they had never eaten it before. Li Qingshan gazed at the pill Xuanyue had given him in the past and sighed slightly inside.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators treated these Virtue Accumulation pills as treasures, yet Xuanyue had taken them out by the handfuls, just like how he took out Qi Gathering pills.
A while later, Begonia also ordered someone to deliver the several thousand spiritual stones Li Qingshan had won.
The eyes of the onlookers grew redder and redder. Several thousand spirit stones was a huge sum of money to any Qi Practitioner.
Han Qiongzhi had won quite a lot too, so her gaze towards Li Qingshan became more and more amiable. Her previous displeasure had already been tossed to the back of her mind. She remained unfazed as she looked at Li Qingshan. "I couldn't tell, but you sure are rich."
If he were a regular Qi Practitioner, he would definitely be overjoyed after receiving a Virtue Accumulation pill and several thousand spiritual stones. He would never be able to remain so composed. He had even wagered a thousand spiritual stones without batting an eye. Even the young masters of clans would struggle to be so generous. Furthermore, his body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious aura.
He was praising the demeanor of others. The others were also praising him. Be it Han Qiongzhi or Hwa Seung-zan. Even Begonia didn't view him as an ordinary sixth layer Qi warrior anymore.
"Senior Sister Han, don't tell me you've fallen for Qingshan!" Wu Gen said somewhat enviously. In their circle, Han Qiongzhi was like a big sister. She had extraordinary talent, a forthright personality, and was beautiful. As they bumped into each other, many people began to have thoughts, and Wu Gen was one of them.
But she was also extremely arrogant. I don't care about ordinary men. I'm only close to Hwa Seung-zan. However, when he confessed his love to her, he was silenced by the words "Surpass me in terms of cultivation". Gradually, he gave up on the idea and only treated her as an elder sister. However, when he saw her express her love to another man, he could not help but feel rather displeased.
The other legalist disciples joined in. "Qingshan is so strong, so he must be very impressive in that aspect. No wonder senior sister Han likes him. "
Han Qiongzhi, however, could not be provoked. She wrapped her arm around Li Qingshan's shoulder. "I think he's much stronger than you cowards." She was not short, but there was still a gap between her and Li Qingshan. With her arm around Li Qingshan, she seemed like she was leaning on him. They really did seem like a couple.
She even countered, "Rongzhi, aren't you?"
"You're right, senior sister Han." Qian Rongzhi smiled. She had already seen it clearly. In this circle, the person she could not afford to offend the most was not Hwa Seung-zan, but Han Qiongzhi.
Although Hwa Seung-zan was shrewd, he still had his pride as a man after all. He would not do anything to a woman like her. When Han Qiongzhi became reckless, she really would deal with her regardless of the consequences.
As for whether what she said would displease these men, there was even less of a need to worry. Men would respect beautiful women who displeased them.
Wu Gen immediately felt an intense pressure. Originally, he did not treat Li Qingshan as an opponent. Whether it be his appearance, background, or cultivation, Li Qingshan paled in comparison to him. Li Qingshan's speech and knowledge paled even further. He was just a country bumpkin with some talent and luck. Even though he seemed to have some ties with Qian Rongzhi, he did not take it to heart.
But now, he no longer had that confidence.
Han Qiongzhi laughed aloud. "I found you rather annoying in the beginning, but I like you a little now." She patted Li Qingshan's shoulder. "Qingshan, once you're at the Hundred Schools of Thought, cultivate well. If you can catch up to my cultivation, I'll give you a chance. What do you think?"
It was not like she had never seen a man before. It was impossible for her to fall in love so easily. At most, she acknowledged and praised Li Qingshan slightly. Most of what she said was encouragement. She did not believe that Li Qingshan could actually surpass her in cultivation.
Although there were only three layers between the sixth layer and the ninth layer, from the sixth layer onwards, every layer was a challenge. The time spent was counted in years. To be able to open all eight extraordinary meridians in ten years was already considered not slow. However, with her talent, she might have already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator by then. It was basically impossible, so she did not think about it anymore.
In the cultivation world, even if there were feelings between men and women, the gap between cultivation levels was an insurmountable chasm. In the mortal world, there might be legends of rich girls eloping with poor scholars, but female cultivators would never submit to male cultivators whose cultivation levels were lower than theirs. This was not a simple case of fawning on the rich and powerful. Comparing Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Practitioners, the difference in lifespan alone was more than a hundred years.
Li Qingshan pursed his lips and did not reply. Although Han Qiongzhi did not have the looks or the figure, he could not serve her personality. He had seen too many unruly girlfriends in his previous life. After transmigrating, he had to change his taste.
Han Qiongzhi immediately became angry. She frowned and said, "What? Do you still think I'm not good enough for you?"
Wu Gen said, "I think you have some self-awareness!" The other legalist disciples also agreed. Wu Gen was not the only one who felt jealous.
Li Qingshan swept his gaze over them. He knew that he had already offended this group of people today. If he wanted to get along well with them in the future and build a good relationship, he had to be humble and low-key.
Li Qingshan spread his arms and pulled Han Qiongzhi into his embrace. He lowered his head and smiled. "Qiongzhi, please wait for a moment." Her bouncy breasts pressed against his chest. They were only separated by a thin layer of spring clothes, so it felt pretty good.
If others were willing to get along well with him, he was also willing to get along well with them. If others were not willing to get along well with him, then he could go to hell with them. He did not come to the Hundred Schools of Thought to keep a low profile, and he did not conduct himself to please others.
Hwa Seung-zan shook his head. He was being stubborn again. This time, he was not facing Han Qiongzhi. Even when he saw her for the first time, he still looked straight at her with his head held high. However, he was currently hugging a tigress, so he could be scratched at any time.
All the legalist disciples widened their eyes. They did not expect Li Qingshan to be so disrespectful towards Han Qiongzhi. They sneered in their hearts, 'This guy is going to be out of luck.'
Han Qiongzhi did things casually, and did not care too much about the relationship between men and women. However, if any man thought he could take advantage of her and dared to be casual with her, then he would have a taste of the power of a ninth layer Qi Practitioner.
Han Qiongzhi already knew that he was bold, but it was still shocking when he was bold. She raised her head angrily and was about to flare up when she met his clear black and white eyes. There was not a hint of hesitation or doubt in them, nor was there any frivolous teasing. There was only absolute confidence. There was nowhere for him to vent his anger.
She could not help but avert her gaze. When she smelled the scent of alcohol mixed from his body, it was as if she had drunk alcohol. Her face was already completely red. Listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, her heartbeat also sped up for some reason.
All the legalist disciples sucked in a breath of cold air. If they had brought their glasses, they really would have been taken aback. They had never seen Han Qiongzhi, who was as fierce as a tigress, show such an expression. What did this guy do to deserve this?
Han Qiongzhi released her true qi and struggled out of his embrace. Her expression had already returned to normal, and she said with a smile, "Good. That's more like a man."
However, everyone could see that her eyes were flickering, and she was in a rather sorry state. Han Qiongzhi roared, "What are you looking at?"
"It's getting late. Everyone, please disperse!" Hwa Seung-zan spoke up to help Han Qiongzhi out of the situation, but he did not expect Han Qiongzhi to behave like this. He suddenly remembered that Li Qingshan's nickname was something like a tiger. This time, it could be said that a tigress had met a male tiger.
At this time, most of the Qi Practitioners upstairs and downstairs had also dispersed. Whether they were angry or resentful, they all remembered one name — Li Qingshan.
The giant Lumberman was at a loss as to where to go when he heard Hwa Seung-zan say, "What's your name?"
His gentle attitude warmed the giant Lumberman's heart. He knew that this was a friend of his benefactor, so he answered, "Wood Kui."
"Wood Kui, come with me. I'll send you to the Hundred Schools of Thought the day after tomorrow." Since he was someone that Han Tieyi valued, he naturally had to take care of him. There was no telling what kind of trouble he would cause if he allowed a mutant to roam the streets.
In the eyes of mortals, mutants were strange and violent creatures. Or perhaps, the perception of cultivators was similar. Compared to demons of all shapes and sizes, many people were more afraid and disgusted of these "monsters" that looked like humans, but were not.
Wood Kui nodded and trailed far behind the crowd, especially keeping a safe distance from Li Qingshan. The cauldron that Li Qingshan had tossed out had almost cost him his life.
Wu Gen glanced backwards in some disgust. "Brother Hua, are we really going to bring him along? I really don't know what brother Han is thinking. No matter how talented an mutant is, he's still an mutant. He has a feud with us. Who knows when he'll stab us in the back."
Hwa Seung-zan was noncommittal. "He has his own thoughts. Giant Lumberfolk are amiable and don't like fighting and killing. When we fought against the mutants in the past, we mainly fought against mutants like the Fire Devouring Folk and the Winged Folk. The Giant Lumberfolk are also divided into many clans …"
He casually introduced the habits and lifestyle of the Giant Lumberfolk like he was familiar with them. He displayed his vast knowledge, which made the disciples of legalism sigh in amazement.
As Wood Kui listened to Hwa Seung-zan talk about his hometown in the distant mountains in the south, he became dejected. He was almost on the verge of tears.
Suddenly, he felt a figure approach him. Looking up, he saw that it was Li Qingshan. He could not help but be alarmed and raise his guard, but all he saw was an extremely resplendent smile.
