Ever since Li Qingshan carried Han Qiongzhi, he knew he could not get along with these elite legalist disciples, so he did not join them either. He purposefully lagged behind them. He had always been very interested in the giant lumbermen, but he could not afford to be distracted during the battle.
The battle was already over. As he listened to Hwa Seung-zan's introduction, he found it even more difficult to hold back. There were actually such strange humans in the world? And they were not the only ones. There were also fire devourers and winged folk. Who knew what they were like?
Traveling across the nine provinces and seeing all the beautiful sights and wonders of the world was also his vow.
"Are all of you giant lumbermen surnamed Mu?"
Wood Kui nodded stiffly.
"Where's your homeland?"
Wood Kui tightened his jaw. He was extremely cautious. Was he planning to target his own clansmen?
"Alright, let's change the question. Are there other otherfolk in your homeland?"
Wood Kui did not answer.
Li Qingshan suddenly extended his hand. Wood Kui almost instinctively wanted to retaliate, but Li Qingshan only tapped his wood-like skin. "You really aren't a wooden person."
"Of course!" Wood Kui replied in a strange tone. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Just Now, this man who was as fierce as a tiger was like a curious child, but he did not have any ill intentions or discrimination.
Li Qingshan said, "One day, I'll definitely visit your homeland, whether you agree or not." Just the thought of a large group of tall lumbermen was extremely interesting.
Wood Kui said, "If you don't have any ill intentions, I can take you there." However, his homeland was so far away!
At this moment, Begonia suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan and Wood Kui were both surprised. They were almost tempted to strike immediately. Against the same enemy, the shackles from before. Naturally dispelled.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "Haitang!"
Li Qingshan said, "Looks like the Heavens don't follow one's wishes. I don't want to see you again, but we do."
Begonia ignored him, her gaze landing on Little Ann again: "If this child follows you, it will only be a waste of her excellent talent. As long as you nod, all the resources of the sect can be used by her, and she will be the future leader of the sect. I can promise anything to her. "
Everyone was surprised. The promise was a little too much. Although Begonia had miscalculated today and lost, their sect was still one of the best sects in the Clear River prefecture. The resources we have. Although it could not compare to the major schools like the Confucian School and the Legalist School, it was superior to the minor schools like the Music School and the Medicine School.
Most importantly, the resources of the Bai Clan were not freely given to their disciples. The disciples had to complete all sorts of tasks and even compete with each other. In the end, many people would still divide the rewards.
Even the resources that Hwa Seung-zan received from the School of Legalism could not compare to this promise. That was the attitude of a sect willing to pour all of its strength into nurturing a person. All Qi Practitioners would be interested.
Hwa Seung-zan was surprised too. Was the Heavenly Fragrance and Beauty really that important to the Bai Clan?
Then he studied Little Ann. He could not help but admit that he was indeed an extremely handsome child. He was the type that could tell with a single glance that he possessed talent as a Qi Practitioner, but no one could be certain just how great his talent was. He could only find out after a test.
And to be honest, he did not like this child too much, as he did not seem like a child at all. Not only did he not possess the liveliness and cleverness that children his age should possess, but his gaze when he looked at people would actually make him shiver.
Li Qingshan only smiled in response to this great temptation. He rubbed Little Ann's head. "I know what her talent is better than you. I can give her ten, a hundred times more resources than you can give her."
Even Hwa Seung-zan found his words to be arrogant. How could the strength of a single person rival the strength of a sect that had thousands of years of accumulation? Little did he know that the various resources Li Qingshan possessed right now were already no less than those of a small sect. However, that was not what Little Ann needed.
"And, even if it's a waste of her talent, it's still better than being …" He stopped himself from continuing. No woman wanted to hear what he was going to say next. He did not want to provoke a Foundation Establishment cultivator with that either.
Begonia became furious. She did not say anything else either. She shot a glance at Hwa Seung-zan before leaving in a huff. "You can talk to her after you get to the bottom of this!"
Li Qingshan was rather surprised. Looking at how Begonia behaved, she did not seem like she had been pricked. Instead, she seemed like she had been wrongly accused.
Han Qiongzhi said, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Leaving the building, everyone clasped their hands and bid farewell before dispersing.
Li Qingshan was just about to go to the Hawkwolf Guard to stay the night when he was stopped by Hwa Seung-zan. "It's quite inconvenient to stay there. Come to the estate with me. I have some things to tell you."
"Alright." Li Qingshan immediately agreed. He was a person who kept clear tabs on his debts of kindness and grievances. It was all thanks to Hwa Seung-zan that he was able to put up such a tough front before Begonia today, even winning a Virtue Accumulation pill and several thousand spiritual stones. He had even obtained a promise that he would not cause any more trouble.
He left the brightly lit building behind and stepped into the dark streets. The huge buildings of various shapes and sizes on the two sides were like colossal beasts. The few remaining specks of light were like the opened eyes of the colossal beasts.
Wu Gen and Qian Rongzhi travelled together. When they parted outside the building, he seemed extremely confident under the mischievous gazes of his senior and junior brothers. He had always been a very confident person, whether it was in terms of cultivation or women.
He had the right to be confident. With his talent and identity, he could be described as having seen countless women at his age. Originally, he thought she would be a piece of cake for him.
However, when there were only the two of them around, his confidence suddenly vanished. That contemplative profile made him feel even more uncontrollable.
There were countless questions in his mind. What was her relationship with Li Qingshan? How did Begonia know her? However, when the question was on the tip of his tongue, he did not dare to ask. His thoughts were like returning to the time when he had his first awakening of love.
Qian Rongzhi suddenly stopped and smiled at him, causing his heart to sway. However, he heard her say, "I still have something to do. Senior Brother Wu, you go back first!" Then, without waiting for his reply, she turned around and left.
If any other woman had dared to treat him like this, he would have cursed out loud. However, at this moment, he stood there in shock, unable to speak. He watched as she disappeared into the darkness.
Qian Rongzhi raised her head. The brilliantly lit building was reflected in her eyes. She was determined. She had a ninety percent chance of winning this gamble.
"You still dare to come back?" Begonia's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Qian Rongzhi smiled faintly. A hundred percent.
…
Under the guidance of that voice, she walked along the winding road. Along the way, she did not meet anyone. Finally, she came to the front of a vermillion house and gently knocked on the door.
"Come in." Qiu Haitang's voice came from the door, and the door automatically opened to two sides. Layers of gauze hung in the room, fluttering with the night wind, faintly discernible and enchanting. Behind the heavy curtain, an enchanting figure could be vaguely seen lying on the couch.
The door closed with a loud bang. Qian Rongzhi glanced behind her and walked towards the layers of silk curtains.
Suddenly, the silk curtains seemed to come to life. Like a snake, they wrapped around her.
She did not resist. Finally, she could see the figure behind the curtain clearly. However, all she saw was a pair of hallucinatory eyes. She immediately became dizzy.
Begonia looked at the dazed Qian Rongzhi and said, "Now, I will ask one question, and you will answer one."
"Yes." Qian Rongzhi said woodenly.
"Where did you get the 'Secret Art' that you cultivate?"
"Wei Yingjie."
"Just as I expected. If it weren't for the Vitality Devouring technique, how could you cultivate so quickly with your talent?" Qiu Haitang snorted gently. She had sensed the changes in Qian Rongzhi right from the beginning.
But at that time, her thoughts were all on Little Ann, who had the Aspect of Heavenly Fragrance and Beauty. Even when she dealt with Li Qingshan, it was for this purpose. As a result, he did not lose his temper immediately. Dealing with a measly Qian Rongzhi was a piece of cake anyway.
And that was the truth.
"Who killed Wei Yingjie?"
"It was me."
Begonia's face darkened. "No one knows you're here!"
"No one."
"Then die!" Her slender fingers grabbed at the top of Qian Rongzhi's head.
…
"Vice Sect Leader Wei, you're back." In the building, a female disciple bowed carefully. She had rarely seen vice sect leader Wei's expression so ugly.
Fortunately, Wei Zhongyuan completely ignored her, passing by like the wind. She let out a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye, Wei Zhongyuan returned before her. He grabbed her by the shoulder and asked, "Where's sect master Qiu?"
After receiving her answer, Wei Zhongyuan tossed her aside and went off in search of Begonia.
Wei Zhongyuan lost track of Li Qingshan in Jiaping city. Just as he was about to fly into a rage, a trusted disciple contacted him with a high level Communication talisman. "Li Qingshan has come."
He rushed back to the Clear River city overnight. As soon as he returned to the building, he learnt everything that had happened from his disciple. Not only had Li Qingshan appeared in the building, but he had even won a Virtue Accumulation pill and several thousand spiritual stones in such an arrogant manner. How could he endure this? He was immediately filled with fury.
The sect had never been bullied like this before, and he, Wei Zhongyuan, had never been toyed with like this before!
He basically barged into where Begonia cultivated. Only when he faced Begonia's displeased gaze did he suddenly remember his identity. He bowed. "Greetings, sect master. If I've been rude, please forgive me, sect master."
Although the title of sect master and vice sect master only differed by a single word, it was worlds apart. Although Foundation Establishment and the tenth layer were only separated by a single layer, it was like a chasm.
"It's so late. What's the matter?" Begonia said coldly.
Wei Zhongyuan said furiously, "Li Qingshan is so arrogant, and he's deeply connected to Ying Jie's death. He's a mortal enemy of our sect. Are you really going to spare him for that Hua guy, sect master?"
Begonia said, "That Hua guy is the Scarlet Wolf commander. Last time, I let you do whatever you want, which has already infuriated him. I admit defeat, so there's no need for you to say anything more. I'm tired. "
Wei Zhongyuan's thoughts immediately turned cold. He gritted his teeth. "If that's the case, I'll be taking my leave for now." In the end, he studied Begonia viciously. Lust and greed filled his eyes. Once I reach Foundation Establishment, I'll show you. He would never spare Li Qingshan.
