All Li Qingshan could do was follow him. If he refused right now, he would only be asking to be humiliated. Before absolute power, no one could say no. However, he rapidly considered everything he had seen. What was a second layer Qi Practitioner all about? Wasn't it innate? The person he was about to see was also a major figure of the Hawkwolf Guard. He had no idea why he wanted to see him. Was it also for the spiritual ginseng?
His mind was filled with questions that he could not answer. However, the strength of the imperial court completely exceeded his imagination. Instead of saying the imperial court used wealth and glory to recruit these powerful people to serve them, it was more accurate to say that the powerful had established the imperial court and ruled over the world. With great power came great responsibility. That was just a fantasy in American movies. In reality, with great power came great authority.
As he thought, the three of them made their way out of the city. Hwa Seung-zan walked at the front. He basically floated forward, moving faster and faster, leaving no traces on the snow.
Feng Zhang circulated all of his true qi and did his best to keep up. Although he was nowhere near as graceful as Hwa Seung-zan, he could still tell that it originated from the same type of footwork.
On the other hand, Li Qingshan was not as graceful. With every leap and leap, he would cover several dozen steps with each step. He was like a charging beast, mobilising every single bone and muscle in his body. He possessed a primitive and crude air of heroism. He actually managed to keep up.
Among the three of them, Hwa Seung-zan and Feng Zhang circulated their qi, while Li Qingshan used his strength, which immediately made the difference.
Feng Zhang thought, If this kid flees as fast as he can, I really might not be able to keep up. He doesn't seem as simple as a regular first-rate master. Once I see commander Wang, I'll report him and cripple his martial arts.
Hwa Seung-zan was much more discerning. He also secretly assessed Li Qingshan. First layer Qi Practitioner, and his true qi is still very weak. It should be the effects of the spiritual ginseng. He's practised some kind of body tempering method too. His vitality is very powerful.
Feng Zhang plucked up his courage and asked, "Commander Hua, why did you and Commander Wang come here? What's the matter?" He wanted the two commanders to move out.
Hwa Seung-zan glanced at the two of them with a smile and said, "Boss Gu is here. I don't know why exactly."
Li Qingshan saw Feng Zhang staring blankly for a long time before he finally reacted. His expression changed drastically, and the zhenqi in his body instantly became chaotic. He staggered and nearly slipped. With great difficulty, he managed to regain his balance and catch up with Li Qingshan, his head lowered.
Li Qingshan was even more curious about who this "Boss Gu" was. Hwa Seung-zan Just Now said that someone wanted to see him, not "Old Wang" wanted to see him. Could it be that he was talking about this Boss Gu?
Outside Qingyang city, in a world of silver and white snow, a long mat had been laid out under a pine tree at the foot of the mountain before anyone knew it. There was a small table made of red sandalwood with a few extremely exquisite vessels for alcohol on it. A small cauldron was cooking on a small, red clay stove to the side.
The two of them sat before one another, drinking and admiring the snow. They were so elegant and refined that they seemed otherworldly.
One of them happened to be Wang Pushi, who wielded great authority in the Clear River prefecture. He was actually in his eighties, but due to practising qi, he only seemed to be in his forties. His face that was renowned for its sternness currently radiated with a smile that felt like the spring breeze in March.
The hawk had sent him a message, summoning him from the bustling Clear River city thousands of kilometers away to this remote, tiny city of Qingyang. Not only did he not feel angry, but he felt very honoured instead.
"Old Wang, your cultivation has advanced again. Before long, the Clear River prefecture won't be able to hold you anymore."
Not just anyone could call Wang Pushi by his nickname. Even when vice commander Hwa Seung-zan called him old Wang, he would glare at him. However, he felt even more honoured when the person before him called him that. He leaned forward. "I'm willing to serve sir."
"I originally wanted little Hua to take over your position, but …"
"Little Hua is far too useless. He's let down sir's expectations. Oh, they're here."
"Great boss Gu, I've brought them to you!" Hwa Seung-zan smiled before making his way over and grabbing the lid. "Old Wang, is the alcohol still not done?"
Wang Pushi knocked away Hwa Seung-zan's hand and shot him a glance. "Don't call me that. Sit properly. The alcohol needs to be cooked for forty-five minutes. Only then will it be flavourful."
Hwa Seung-zan gasped and sat down to one side with his legs crossed as he clutched his hand. "Old Wang, you've been too heavy-handed." He said to boss Gu, "You know how he usually bullies me, right?"
With his Spirit Eyes, Li Qingshan could see the two people under the guest pine tree from afar. If Hwa Seung-zan's Spirit Qi was like flowing water, then Wang Pushi's Spirit Qi was like frozen ice. It was so dense that it was almost tangible. Every movement of his would draw upon the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth. It was filled with indescribable profundities.
But when Li Qingshan arrived under the guest pine tree, his attention was completely focused on 'boss Gu'. No matter how profound Wang Pushi's body was, he was unable to shift his gaze away.
A pure white robe, wide and elegant, laid softly on the bamboo mat. It was as if it had blended into one with the vast expanse of whiteness.
A face that could topple the world looked at Li Qingshan with a faint smile. It was as beautiful as snow, yet it contained a peerless beauty.
Li Qingshan originally did not believe in love at first sight. He believed that he, who had experienced the assault of countless beauties on the internet in his previous life, would no longer have the so-called breathtaking feeling.
But at this moment, he was willing to believe in love at first sight. He believed even more that this world had a beauty that his previous life could not compare to. His heartbeat sped up, and he could barely control himself.
He had once said arrogantly that he wanted to 'sleep with the most beautiful woman in the world' when he was drunk. To him, this was merely a drunken joke. But now, a strong desire to marry her had sprouted in his heart!
Feng Zhang's reaction was the complete opposite of his. He only took a glance before lowering his head, as if the person in front of him was not a peerless beauty, but a ferocious beast.
Hwa Seung-zan glanced at Feng Zhang in disdain, then smiled at Li Qingshan. However, a hint of sorrow flashed through his eyes. Only the most arrogant and egotistical person would dare to look directly into her eyes, and then immerse himself in them, unable to extricate himself.
'Boss Gu' coughed softly and sniffled. "How many days has it been since you last bathed?"
Her voice was as pleasant as the flowing of an icy spring, but the words that came out of her mouth caused Li Qingshan to instantly become sluggish. A certain perfect image in his heart crumbled a little, and he really wanted to shout, "You can't say such things!" In his heart, even if she could not be like those in fairy tales, where flowers would bloom and honey would flow as soon as she opened her mouth, she should still be more poetic and beautiful.
Hwa Seung-zan could not help but burst into laughter.
"I …" Li Qingshan did not know how to answer for a moment. Even though he had been training all day, there was no way he would have any smell on his body! But it was also thanks to this that he woke up from his Just Now state of intoxication.
Li Qingshan Just Now noticed that there was a small silver eagle hanging from her waist. It was exactly the same as the one on Wang Pushi's waist. Under the illumination of the snow, the white eagle's wings could be vaguely seen. The wings extended all the way to the sleeves, and every feather was extremely fine, just like the legendary feather clothes.
