Even if You Are Abandoned, You Cannot Feel Resentment
Li Qingshan said, "This is a gift from commander Gu."
"Commander Gu really does value you extraordinarily. She must've specially given this to you for your second heavenly tribulation! Keep it. I can't accept such an expensive gift. "
Han Anjun's expression calmed down very quickly. He shifted his gaze away from the Origin Spirit Pill and looked at Li Qingshan deeply. He was not completely convinced by his explanation.
"Then you don't approve of my marriage with Qiongzhi!"
As Li Qingshan said that, he shot a glance at Han Qiongzhi. The Origin Spirit Pill was not essential to him, but it was relatively important to the Han family.
Han Qiongzhi hesitated. "Father, just accept it. Just treat it as doing it for the sake of the Han family."
Han Anjun closed his eyes for quite a while before letting out a long sigh. He accepted the Origin Spirit Pill before bowing deeply to express his gratitude. How could Li Qingshan accept such a great bow? He turned to the side and avoided the bow.
However, after Han Anjun straightened himself, what he said completely exceeded Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi's expectations.
"In the beginning, I didn't think the two of you were a good match. I still think that way now."
"The Han family is a great clan, while I'm just a kid from the mountains. Indeed, I'm not a good match."
Li Qingshan frowned, but when he recalled the spirit turtle's way of forbearance and tranquility, his frown eased up again. He smiled, but he could not help but sound rather indignant.
Han Qiongzhi was even more displeased. "Father, it's already so late, yet you're still saying something like that. You want to train me, but have I ever disappointed you …"
Han Anjun raised his hand to stop Han Qiongzhi from continuing. He looked at Li Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, don't think that I'm prejudiced against you. Actually, from the very beginning, I felt that you were a talent. What you did afterwards exceeded my expectations. As a matter of fact, you can be described as a startling genius, about to make a breakthrough. It's not that I'm belittling myself, but my daughter isn't worthy of you. "
"I'm not looking for companions to go into battle with. Do I really have to find a girl with a similar cultivation?" Li Qingshan said disapprovingly. He held Han Qiongzhi's hand to show his sincerity.
"Let me finish. With your personality, offending E Dan today was definitely not a coincidence, and the Great General King's exceptional favor was very much a coincidence. The opponents you meet in the future may not be able to do anything to you, but you can't take care of your entire family behind you. If you constantly challenge the strong and have to constantly have worries in your heart, would you feel happy? "
Li Qingshan said nothing. He could not help but admit that Han Anjun's words were very insightful. It could be described as a thorough analysis of his personality. Even he had no idea just how many more powerful enemies he would encounter on his path to the Nine Heavens. He was confident that he could protect Han Qiongzhi, but what about her family?
He felt Han Qiongzhi's hand tighten slightly. She said, "General, I also feel that my personality has been too intense recently. I've been purposefully restraining myself a little and comprehending the way of water's gentleness. That way, I might not necessarily offend a lot of people."
Even he found it rather hard to believe when he said that. Even if he had another century to comprehend, he would still take action when he encountered what happened at the banquet today. No matter how profound his cultivation of the Spirit Turtle Transformation was, it was impossible for him to completely change his personality.
Han Qiongzhi also straightened her back and said, "No matter what risks we encounter, we'll just bear them together."
"Qiongzhi, you're no longer a child. I respect your decision today, but if you're abandoned in the future, you can't resent me."
Han Anjun let out a long sigh, turned around, and left. He left behind Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi to look at one another. Just what kind of father would curse his own daughter like that? And, he spoke with such certainty, as if Li Qingshan had already become a heartless and ungrateful person.
Han Anjun did not mention that he had once asked Ma Buyi to read Li Qingshan's fortune. Ma Buyi said, "This child has great ambitions. He'll definitely be something extraordinary in the future, but it's exactly because of his great ambitions that he's the exact opposite. As the saying goes, 'the spirit of a hero is short for love'."
… …
That night, Li Qingshan did not stay the night in the great general's estate. Instead, he went with Han Qiongzhi to the outskirts of the commandery city of Ruyi, to a small mountain with abundant spiritual qi and beautiful scenery. This was the cultivation dwelling Han Qiongzhi had specially carved out after reaching Foundation Establishment.
The two of them leaned against each other, gazing at the small lake under the moonlight in the distance, reflecting the tranquil, silver light. Neither of them spoke for a very long time. Originally, it should have been a joyous reunion, but Han Anjun's words had cast a shadow over it.
"Thank you for the Origin Spirit pill."
Han Qiongzhi had always been a straightforward person, but after going through so many changes, and now that her clan was in danger, the man she could rely on the most just happened to be determined by her father to leave her in the end. She was gloomy, no longer as decisive as before.
Indeed, he could not stay here for too long either. He would return to the Clear River prefecture very soon and continue his duties as the Scarlet Hawk commander.
"There's no need for thanks between us. If you really want to thank me, you shouldn't be thanking me like this." Li Qingshan pulled her into his arms with a smile, lowering his head and kissing her red lips. His hand climbed up her waist in a naughty manner, purposefully using this method to break the silent atmosphere.
However, as the exquisite figure entered his arms, the lust that had been suppressed for so long could not help but rise again. Han Qiongzhi's reaction was unexpectedly intense. She wrapped her arms around his waist firmly and said softly, "Love me!"
Li Qingshan picked her up and cast aside the moonlight on the mountain peak, turning towards the dwelling.
The warmth of the red silk tent was unavoidable, until Han Qiongzhi ran out of strength and begged for mercy from exhaustion. Just Now, they let it go and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Just Now, the tiny unhappiness seemed to have been washed away completely, but Han Qiongzhi repeated that sentence in a complicated manner inside. Even when she fell asleep, it still lingered around her.
"If you've been abandoned, you can't resent me."
Li Qingshan had completely cast this matter to the back of his mind. After Han Qiongzhi fell asleep, he still felt full of energy. He did not feel sleepy at all, so he continued to focus on the path of water.
… …
In the Waterside Pavilion of Listening Wind, Gu Yanying studied her new disciple with great interest. "My good disciple. Should I call you Qian Rongzhi or Shangguan Rongzhi?"
"Obviously Qian Rongzhi."
Qian Rongzhi shuddered. This was the secret that she did not want anyone to know the most. It was not because she felt ashamed. Even in the world of cultivation, people would bear a deep grudge against a person who had killed all of their family and loved ones. If Chu Tian knew about her past, he probably would not have fallen for it so easily.
"Looks like you really detest the word 'Shangguan'. Ancient Wind city was destroyed by the White Lotus Sect, but Shangguan town was burned to the ground for no reason at all. Not even a dog managed to escape. Don't you know why?"
"I don't know. It must be because of the fire-element daemons!"
Qian Rongzhi did not purposefully feign ignorance. She just said that calmly. In order to completely destroy everything, she had taken advantage of the war between humans and daemons to return to Shangguan town again.
Gu Yanying stared at Qian Rongzhi for a very long time before smiling in the end. She changed the topic. "That hell snake. You must be a gift from the White Lotus Mother, right?"
Qian Rongzhi fell silent for a very long time before replying, "Yes. She hates me for betraying her, which is why she placed such a vicious curse on me, making me suffer pain and torture day and night."
Gu Yanying said, "Do you need me to find a way to remove it for you?"
"The venomous snake is firmly attached to my soul. Blades and swords struggle to injure it, so it'll probably be very difficult to remove. Some painful disciple still
If I can endure it, there's no need for Master to worry. "
Qian Rongzhi's heart trembled, and the gorgeous little snake also moved restlessly on her body. In the beginning, she was always there.
He wanted to throw the little snake out.
But now, this Hell Venomous Snake had become one of her most important trump cards, especially since she was currently cultivating the Legalism technique.
It was even more indispensable. If he was really killed by Gu Yanying, it would be a great loss.
However, he immediately calmed himself down. This little snake came from the Naraka Realm, and it possessed a unique essence that was different from anything in this world. Although it was visible to the naked eye, it existed on a completely different level. Not to mention ordinary swords, even powerful magic tools and spells would not be able to harm it at all. No matter how capable Gu Yanying was, she might not be able to do anything to it.
Gu Yanying stretched out her hand. Qian Rongzhi looked at that perfect and slender hand, not knowing what it meant.
"I haven't had a taste of the Venomous Snake Hell yet!" Gu Yanying had a curious look on her face.
"This disciple dares not," Qian Rongzhi said with her head lowered.
"Hold my hand. I know you want to do this."
"Yes, Master!" Qian Rongzhi said inwardly. "You're asking for it, so don't blame me! As pampered as you are, have a taste of my pain! "
She gently held Gu Yanying's hand. It was warm and exquisite, as if her bones were made of cold jade and her flesh was made of warm jade. It was indescribably comfortable. Murderous intent blazed in her heart. "Can I kill her while she's in intense pain and unable to control herself? In this Waterside Pavilion of Listening Wind, no one will notice for a while. The benefits I can gain from her are even more unimaginable. "
As she thought about it, she heard Gu Yanying say with a smile, "It doesn't seem as unbearable as I imagined. Is it because my sense of shame is too strong, and I don't have much resentment? That can't be right! "
Qian Rongzhi's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Yanying in disbelief. That was definitely not a forced smile. This was a pain that would make one wish they were dead! How could she possibly endure it?
Gu Yanying smiled and said, "Hurry up and send out that little snake of yours!"
Qian Rongzhi felt an indescribable fury. She felt that Gu Yanying was mocking her for everything she had endured. She steeled her heart, and the gorgeous little snake slithered up her arm, coiling around Gu Yanying's thumb and index finger.
Gu Yanying's expression changed slightly, and the smile finally disappeared from her face. She slowly said, "You've taken good care of it."
Qian Rongzhi was incredulous. "She can actually speak!" She then heard Gu Yanying say, "I'll help you get rid of it right now!"
Qian Rongzhi immediately felt a breeze rise from Gu Yanying's body. This breeze was invisible and untouchable, unable to even blow up a withered leaf. It was completely unrelated to the airflow of this world, but she could clearly feel it.
Gu Yanying frowned, a pained expression appearing on her beautiful face. She seemed to be enduring something. Meanwhile, the gorgeous little snake seemed to have seen a ghost. It loosened its mouth and wanted to retreat, but it was sucked in by an invisible force. It twisted its body but was unable to break free, and was slowly sucked toward Gu Yanying's hand.
