Li Xiaoyao clenched his fist firmly. Within his weakness, there was actually a sense of determination. Li Qingshan nodded secretly. At least he had not been contaminated by his parents' foolishness and cunning.
"If that's the case, I'll take you along. However, whether you can become a disciple of the Sword Collection palace or not will be up to your fate, "said Yin Xiaochou.
"Yep!" Li Xiaoyao nodded firmly, overjoyed. Then he looked at Li Long and became reluctant to part with him.
Li Long said, "Stop acting like a little girl. Learn the sword properly. Don't embarrass our Crouching Ox village!"
"Yes, master!" Li Xiaoyao glanced at Li Qingshan again and secretly made up his mind. His talent was mediocre, but he believed there was hope as long as he worked hard.
Then Yin Xiaochou said to Hwa Seung-zan, "There's no need to linger around. Let's set off right now! I'll be in secluded cultivation for a while after I return to the Sword Collection palace. Once I undergo the second heavenly tribulation, I'll definitely challenge fellow Li, no, elder Li again! "
"Alright, but I'll have to draw a good sword from the Sword Collection peak first."
Although Li Qingshan was hostile towards the Sword Collection palace, he could not help but admire their heritage. Both Fu Qingjin and Yin Xiaochou were heroes among men, possessing extraordinary courage. Even the Soaring Dragon Elder was firm and resolute. It was not without reason that he had managed to last for so many years.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "It's a pity that I can't see you off, Qingshan."
"There's no need to be so polite. The mountains never change, and the rivers never stop flowing. We'll meet again!"
Li Qingshan clasped his hands and bade farewell. He watched the three of them vanish into the horizon before turning around and saying to Li Long, "It's been hard on you these past few years."
"It's only natural for my own disciples to work a little harder. How far I can go in the future will be up to me."
… …
Li Qingshan returned to Clear River city and arrived at the entrance of the Hawkwolf Guard, gazing up.
Upstairs, Hua Chenglu currently leaned against the back of the chair and gazed out the window. She furrowed her brows in thought as she gently tapped the armrest with her slender fingers.
Ever since he had come out of his closed-door training, although they had only met a few times in a hurry, there were many ripples in her heart. However, since it was already too late, she could only accept this outcome calmly. She was not a little girl, nor was she Hwa Seung-zan. She did not want to be entangled with the word 'love'.
It was fine to see him once in a while. It was fine to be teased by him a few times. But now, even that was impossible, as he was going to the Mist province!
It would have been fine if it was just separation, but it just had to be the most dangerous South Sea County. How could she not worry about his safety?
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of the window and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"
"Brother Li!"
Hua Chenglu stood up. Her red lips parted as she considered how she should inform him of this "bad news".
"I already know. Where's the transfer order?"
Li Qingshan stepped into the room and said with a smile when he saw how troubled she was.
Hua Chenglu took out the transfer order, and Li Qingshan stowed it away after a single glance. It really was the White Wolf commander!
"Oh right, Chenglu, your elder brother has set off just now."
"Sigh, didn't he say it would take another day or two?"
"Probably because he doesn't want to make a scene like sending him off! He's going to the Sword Collection palace, so it's time for me to set off too! "
Li Qingshan gazed out the window with a smile. The sky that had just cleared up after the rain was so blue that it was almost transparent. His heart had already drifted away, no, to the South Sea commandery that he had never met hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. He imagined the boundless South sea!
"What're you frowning for? I've been promoted. Aren't you going to hug me in celebration?" Li Qingshan spread his arms.
"Brother Li, aren't you worried at all? That's the South Sea commandery, the southernmost region of the nine provinces. It's a land of wilderness among wilderness. Not only do the Hawkwolf Guard not have any special privileges there, but they'll even receive hostility, yet you're still in the mood to joke around! "Hua Chenglu panicked.
"If I'm not joking around, am I supposed to cry?" Li Qingshan was rather touched by how concerned she was for him.
"Go find commander Gu and get her to help you out. And your master. You're a disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga after all, and the Sword Collection palace. Don't they want to make you a guest elder? Anyway, you definitely can't accept this job. Sigh, it must be that bastard Si Qing who's pulling the strings. He's using his identity as a prince to run amok! "Hua Chenglu said furiously.
"Thank you, but I've already made up my mind. The South Sea commandery is indeed a land of wilderness among wilderness. It'll definitely be riddled with danger. It's exactly because of that that it's worth going. If I don't go to the ends of the world and the corners of the ocean, wouldn't I be wasting my life? As for that kid, Si Qing, there'll be a time for him to cry! "
Li Qingshan said proudly. He did not take Si Qing seriously at all. He could just find an opportunity to settle this small grievance in the future.
"Big brother Li … Now that you've said that, even I want to go and have a look. I still haven't seen the real ocean! If it weren't for the fact that I'm afraid of dragging you down, I even want to go with you and become a White Wolf guard. "
Hua Chenglu was infected by his lofty sentiments, and her worries vanished. Why would she need to worry about this man? He was Li Qingshan.
She could not help but fantasize about the South sea of the Mist province. Ever since she was young, she had never been one to settle down. As a matter of fact, she even had an urge to go to the South sea with him regardless of the consequences.
"Come. It won't drag you down at all."
Li Qingshan studied Hua Chenglu with a smile. After a few years, the little girl had become even more enchanting. Her features were picturesque, her figure was graceful, and her figure was slender and well-proportioned. If she gained a little more, she would be fat, and if she lost a little, she would be thin. She radiated with a delicate beauty.
"If I really go with you, big sister Han will curse me to death." Hua Chenglu's face reddened under his gaze, and she stuck out her tongue.
"Hmm? Why would she curse you? What do you want to do to me? "Li Qingshan took a step back and said in great surprise.
"Big brother Li!"
"Haha, I'm just joking. You're still very young. The path ahead of you is still very long! The greatest benefit of the cultivation community is that you'll never be able to imagine just how far and how far you'll be able to go. Although you have to deal with the matters of the Hawkwolf Guard, you don't have to worry too much about it. As long as you constantly increase your cultivation, there'll be a day when you can go anywhere in the nine provinces! "
Li Qingshan patted Hua Chenglu's shoulder and said earnestly.
"Yeah, I'll work hard on cultivation! I heard that the Merfolk of the South sea are all extremely beautiful, and their voices are bewitching. If the people sailing on the sea hear the songs of the Merfolk, they'll jump into the water without any regard and drown to death. Don't be enchanted by them, big brother Li, "Hua Chenglu said.
However, she refused to believe that there was a woman who could enchant him with her beauty. In particular, after seeing Little Ann a few days ago, she was even more certain of this. That kind of inhuman beauty was something that even she was amazed by.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. You know that I've always been enchanted by beauty! I even saw my fellow countryman, Li Long, on Soaring Afterglow mountain earlier. We only spoke a few words before bidding farewell, yet I accidentally told you so much. Your warning is very reasonable. I need to learn from it. I'm going! "
Li Qingshan laid out his hands helplessly. Speaking of which, he had basically been enchanted by a Merfolk, and it was not some enchanting song, but her poisonous words.
"What's the rush? You're going so far away, so you need to hold a farewell banquet! "Hua Chenglu said in surprise.
"Forget it. We just had a gathering a few days ago. It'll be boring if there are too many banquets. Not to mention, it's not like I'm going somewhere nice. If I make it seem like I'm going to never return, how boring would that be? "
Li Qingshan waved his hand and turned her down. He said, "Take care," before turning around and making his way out the window.
Hua Chenglu watched him leave. She was filled with mixed feelings. Who knew how many years it would be before they could meet again, and who knew how many dangers lay ahead!
"Big brother Li!"
"Is there anything else …"
Li Qingshan turned around, but before he could even finish, Hua Chenglu rushed over and kissed him on the lips. Afterwards, they immediately parted as if she had been electrocuted. She lowered her head and said softly, "Be careful on the way."
"Girl, what's the meaning of this?"
Li Qingshan licked his lips. The gentle and immature feeling remained. He raised her chin, and her delicate face was flushed with an intoxicating red. Her long eyelashes trembled, afraid to look into his eyes.
"What? What?" Hua Chenglu's gaze drifted about. She began to feel deep regret. Just Now, she had really been too impulsive.
Li Qingshan said nothing more. He wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her soft, pink lips before making his way in. He opened her teeth and held her tongue, savoring it without restraint.
Hua Chenglu's eyes widened before closing them firmly again. This was the first time in her life that a man had kissed her like this. She felt like she was being violated, but she was powerless to resist. Her body was tense, but as he kissed and caressed her, she gradually relaxed, falling limp in his arms.
"Now this is called a kiss!"
Only after quite a while did Li Qingshan smile. When he saw how she was in a daze, allowing him to do whatever he wanted, he began to burn with desire. In the past, he probably would have been tempted to swallow her whole. However, after so many years of experience, he was no longer as lustful as before, so he let go of her gently.
"Big brother!" Hua Chenglu was moved.
"This is the first time, so I'll punish you slightly. I hope you learn from this. If there's a next time, it won't be so simple. " Li Qingshan joked around, but he was very serious. He had never been some kind of gentleman who could remain unperturbed. As a matter of fact, it could even be said that he did not turn down anyone. There was no reason for him not to eat the meat that was already in his mouth.
However, Hua Chenglu had saved him before and called him big brother for so many years. Their relationship was extraordinary, so he could not do as he pleased.
"I'll tell big sister Han that you're bullying me!" Hua Chenglu wiped her mouth forcefully and glared at him viciously. All her years of growth and experience seemed to vanish. She became that girl who was in her teens again. "Hmm?
You're still bold enough to play the blame game? Alright, let's go talk to her right now and see who's in the right. "Li Qingshan grabbed Hua Chenglu's wrist and made his way out.
"No!" Hua Chenglu struggled in a hurry and broke free with great difficulty. She rubbed her wrist and said furiously, "Big brother, you're shameless!"
Li Qingshan laughed aloud.
"Big brother Li, you still owe me something!" said Hua Chenglu.
"I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention it. Think about it properly while I'm in the South sea!"
Li Qingshan left, and Hua Chenglu returned to her seat. She continued to think, but she was troubled by something else.
