PS: Today is my cousin's engagement. I set off in the morning and ran to Zhengzhou for a whole day. I spent most of the time in the car and only returned at night. I'm dead tired. I was too depressed last month. I need to adjust my pace and pull myself together this month. After all, this is the only meaningful thing in my life right now! From tomorrow onwards, I will resume two nights a week. Please cast your monthly votes. Dream Talker thanks you!
Peng Jingni arrived before the deep pool first. He saw two people sitting under the waterfall. One was a tall man dressed in white. His black hair draped over his shoulders. He sat there casually, but his aura was as heavy as a mountain, giving off an unshakable feeling.
。
"So this is Li Qingshan. He lives up to his reputation!"
As for the other person, Peng Jingni narrowed his eyes and revealed a look of amazement.
The sickly young man also rushed over. His first glance landed on Little Ann, and he exclaimed inwardly, "To think there's such a beauty in the world. How incredible!"
He then said to Li Qingshan, "You must be Li Qingshan!"
"That's right. How should I address the two of you?" Li Qingshan examined the two and asked with a smile.
"Peng Jingni of the South Sea Sword Pavilion. "Qian Liangmu of the Myriad Poison Cult."
The two reported their names at the same time, but they were rather dissatisfied. This Li Qingshan was too arrogant!
They came from extraordinary backgrounds, possessed outstanding talent, and had made a name for themselves many years ago. No matter where they went, everyone would show them some respect. However, not only did Li Qingshan not invite them to the main peak for a discussion, but he did not even stand there. He looked down on them without any manners at all, asking for their names right away.
"What can I do for the two of you to come from afar?" Li Qingshan propped his face with his fist. He tilted his head, curious about their intentions as well.
"I came from afar to pay a visit, intending to gift a great fortune to the commander, but I don't even have a cup of hot tea or a stool. That's too stingy. It doesn't match the reputation of the King of Savages," Qian Liangmu said.
Peng Jingni hugged his sword and did not comment. However, he agreed with Qian Liangmu for once. He had come from the sea. He was acting as an envoy. Personal honor was secondary. They absolutely could not weaken their momentum and lose the reputation of the South Sea Sword Pavilion. Otherwise, how could they talk about this matter if they felt inferior to each other the moment they met?
"I didn't notice that. My bad! But I don't have tea here. Only wine. If you like it, let's have a drink together. If you don't like it, let's drink together. This pond water is refreshing and sweet. "
Li Qingshan smiled. He took out two jars of wine from his Sumeru Ring and tossed them to the two. Then, he picked up a jar of wine and drank it heartily.
Peng Jingni caught the wine jar that flew over and was stunned for a moment before he said, "Why drink water when there's wine!" He opened the clay seal and drank a few mouthfuls before praising, "Good wine!"
This praise was not at all polite. There was no need to say more about the taste of this wine, but in terms of the density of the spiritual energy, it was comparable to elixirs, enough to cause a bloody battle in the southern border. He admitted that if he had such a jar of wine, he wouldn't be willing to share it with others.
Li Qingshan had gone on a killing spree in the southern border and obtained many spoils of war. This wine was just one of them. In any case, he had obtained it easily, so he did not feel that it was a pity.
Qian Liangmu took a few sips and was speechless. He found it strange. If Li Qingshan wanted to take them down a notch, he would not have taken out such a precious spiritual wine. If he wanted to befriend them, he should not have been so disrespectful.
He raised his head and met Li Qingshan's bright eyes. He suddenly realized that his attitude was indifferent. It did not matter how precious this jar of wine was, nor did it matter who they were, nor did it matter what kind of powerful faction they had behind them.
Since you've come, I'll treat you to a drink and listen to what you have to say. That's all.
Peng Jingni also saw this point. He, who had always been known for his heroic spirit, could not help but be secretly impressed. 'Legend has it that this Li Qingshan is incomparably arrogant, saying things like' those who submit to me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish '. Looking at it with my own eyes, he is more magnanimous and heroic. He is not an arrogant and conceited person. If I met him on a normal day, I would definitely befriend him. However, the more he is like this, the harder it is to deal with him. I'm afraid the objective of this trip will not be easy to achieve. '
Peng Jingni looked at Qian Liangmu, and coincidentally, Qian Liangmu also looked over. Their gazes met, and they immediately separated. They were actually more willing for Li Qingshan to bring out all the ten great Cave Masters under him. Whether it was to boost his prestige or to take him down a notch, the more powerful he appeared, the more weak he showed inside. Such a normal situation was really troublesome. They felt that no matter if it was coercion or temptation, it would not achieve the desired effect.
"As for stools, there aren't any here. The two of you can sit wherever you want. If you're afraid of lowering your head to me, you can just fly into the sky."
As Li Qingshan said this, he tilted the jar in his hand and fed it to Little Ann beside him. His movements were very light, unlike his rough manner Just Now. He asked, "How's the taste?"
"Very good." Little Ann took a few small sips. Actually, to her, there was no difference whether it was fine wine or dirty water. She just liked the wine he fed her.
Peng Jingni flew up and sat down on a large rock in front of him. Qian Liangmu smiled rather helplessly and chose another rock.
Peng Jingni said, "The first cave master under you, Yu Wufeng, is a traitor of our South Sea Sword Pavilion. Ever since he betrayed us thirty years ago, he has always been hiding in Savage Mountain. I never expected you to find him. I'm under orders from my master to ask you to return him to our South Sea Sword Pavilion and accept punishment."
"So that's how it is. Wufeng, you've been listening for so long. Come and meet this former disciple of the same sect!" Li Qingshan nodded.
A streak of sword-light flew over from the main peak and landed in front of the waterfall. He corrected himself, "It's Wufeng!" After a moment of silence, he bowed and said, "My king."
"There's no difference. Fellow Peng, is this the person?"
Peng Jingni's eyes lit up when he saw Wufeng. He immediately straightened up and withdrew his gaze. He said to Li Qingshan, "That's him. If you help us capture the traitor, the South Sea Sword Pavilion will definitely repay you in the future. "
"Yu Wufeng, are you willing to return to the South Sea Sword Pavilion with your junior brother?" Li Qingshan asked.
"I am." Yu Wufeng fell silent again.
"Is that so?" Li Qingshan rubbed his chin.
"This Fellow Yu is not a traitor of the South Sea Sword Pavilion, but a hero," Qian Liangmu interrupted.
Peng Jingni glared at him. This bastard really was going to ruin his plans.
"What do you mean?" Li Qingshan asked.
"This is an open secret in the Southern Border. This Brother Yu of the South Sea Sword Pavilion endured the humiliation, pretending to be a judge and joining Savage Mountain. His goal is to unify Savage Mountain, turning this place into a springboard for the South Sea Sword Pavilion to enter the southern border, so that they can fight our Myriad Poison Cult. "
"Commander, if you let him go, once he transcends the third Heavenly Tribulation and becomes the pavilion master of the South Sea Sword Pavilion, he'll definitely have his revenge for today's humiliation!"
Qian Liangmu glanced at Peng Jingni with a smile. He laughed at the South Sea Sword Pavilion's schemes. In the end, he suffered a double loss.
Peng Jingni was about to retort when Yu Wufeng sighed and said, "Junior brother, there's no need to say anymore." He smiled and said, "Deceiving people with clever words is never your forte. Senior brother has a heavy responsibility. Yet, he had fallen into such a situation. He had truly let down his benefactor. I've let the sect down. "
"Yes, Senior Brother." Peng Jingni's chest warmed up as he lowered his head.
Yu Wufeng then said to Li Qingshan, "Commander Li. If you are willing to show mercy, I swear that I will not take revenge for today, nor will I divulge any of your secrets. I'm even more willing to lend you a hand and make you unrivaled in Southern Border. "
His words were filled with killing intent, directed at the Myriad Poison Cult.
Qian Liangmu said, "I wonder how this oath compares to a blood oath? Brother Yu is truly scheming. Are you trying to get someone else to do your dirty work? Commander Li, a single thought of benevolence can lead to endless trouble in the future. "
"There are many things that can replace the Blood Oath Scroll in Southern Border, such as the Poison Vow Gu, the Thousand Needle Curse …"
Qian Liangmu interrupted, "I wonder which of these things can restrain a cultivator who has transcended the third Heavenly Tribulation. Are you trying to deceive the commander into not knowing about Southern Border's Gu curse arts?"
The two of them engaged in a verbal battle. In the end, Qian Liangmu was the more eloquent one. Every word struck at the heart of the matter, leaving Yu Wufeng speechless. He could only bow deeply towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan countered with a question, "If you were in my position, what would you choose?"
Yu Wufeng was speechless, his expression dim.
"Then my answer would be the same," Li Qingshan said.
"Fellow Li, do you really think nothing of my South Sea Sword Pavilion?" Peng Jingni shouted angrily.
"Fellow Peng, it's best if you keep your cool. If you go too far, it won't be good." Li Qingshan glanced at him quietly. There was no killing intent in his gaze, but it made him shiver inside. Yu Wufeng's gaze was even stricter, reminding him of when he was practicing the sword many years ago.
"I lost my composure. Please forgive me, fellow Li!"
Peng Jingni glanced at Qian Liangmu from the corner of his eye. Indeed, he saw a smile in his eyes. If they really fell out and invaded Southern Border to attack Savage Mountain, it would only make Li Qingshan side with the Myriad Poison Cult. Not to mention that he still held a hostage that the South Sea Sword Pavilion could not give up.
"You don't have to hate me. When your senior brother drew his sword against me back then, didn't he want to kill me? The path of cultivation is about fighting for a chance of survival with all one's strength in the first place. I will not hate him. One day in the future, I might release him, but it definitely won't be now. I don't need to explain the reasoning behind this. You should understand it as well. "
Li Qingshan's words still left Yu Wufeng and the South Sea Sword Pavilion a glimmer of hope.
"I'm clumsy with words, and there are many things I can't say clearly. I would like to invite you to the South Sea. Our master will definitely give you a satisfactory result," Peng Jingni said.
"Commander, be careful not to fall into a trap," Qian Liangmu said indifferently, but it made Peng Jingni grit his teeth in anger.
"Alright, we will go."
The one who spoke was not Li Qingshan, but Little Ann, who had been listening quietly the entire time.
Peng Jingni rejoiced inside and looked at Li Qingshan.
"If she agrees, then I agree."
Li Qingshan was originally stuck between two options. Since Little Ann had spoken, she definitely had a plan. As long as he did not go to the South Sea Sword pavilion, he was confident that he could put up a fight even if he faced that great sword cultivator, not to mention that he had the spirit turtle to foretell fortune.
Qian Liangmu wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth again. Even he would struggle to turn down a woman like that, let alone go back on his word after turning her down. Li Qingshan was clearly not an indecisive person. Moreover, this matter might even be an opportunity.
Peng Jingni let out a sigh of relief. This outcome was barely satisfactory. He never thought he would actually feel so much pressure when he faced this Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan said, "Prince Qian, let me hear what you mean by great riches and honor."
