"In truth, there are times when even I don't understand why I could give birth to such an outstanding child as Qiushan." The Qiushan clan head gazed out the window at that lingering Mount Li and said, "Just like how the entire continent doesn't understand how that idiotic fool Xu Shiji could actually give birth to Xu Yourong."
After saying this, he paused, then added in a more serious tone, "Of course, Xu Shiji is inferior to me."
The Qiushan clan Guardian knew what he was talking about. He smiled and nodded his head. "He is far inferior to Clan Head."
The Qiushan clan head's eyebrows flew up. How was he like the decisive hero who had just killed on the main peak? Instead, he was a simple and proud father. "Ever since my son's bloodline awakened, I have always been cultivating and studying with all my might. There is nothing I haven't learned, all because I wanted to catch up to his footsteps and not be a burden to him. Now it seems that I have barely managed to do it."
The Qiushan clan Guardian's smile was very sincere, even filled with admiration — the Qiushan clan head had originally been the most famous hedonistic son of the south, so just like how Qiushan Jun had never understood since he was a child, when the Qiushan clan ancestor decided to hand over the entire clan to the current Qiushan clan head, he also could not understand. It must be known that at the time, he was already an upper level Star Condensation expert of the south, and in terms of seniority, he was the ancestor's uncle. No matter how one looked at it, he should have been the one in charge of the Qiushan clan. Later on, when Qiushan Jun was born and his true dragon bloodline awakened, he believed that this was where the ancestor's decision had come from, so he was no longer indignant. He still looked down on the clan head, thinking that this person was just a piece of trash that only knew how to succeed. But now, he no longer thought this way. Because no one could have expected that after Qiushan Jun's bloodline awakened, the Qiushan clan head would suddenly become a different person. From then on, he would no longer womanize outside, break willows and whip horses, and instead began to diligently study and cultivate.
The Qiushan clan head was now a middle-aged man.
For a middle-aged man who had wasted half his life to suddenly begin to work hard, one didn't need to ask to know what sort of willpower and determination it required, what sort of price it required. But he had actually done it. In these ten-some years, Qiushan Jun had gone from babbling to learning how to speak to the Radiant Sword of Mount Li, and he had also silently cultivated from the initial level of Ethereal Opening to the upper level of Star Condensation. Although it seemed inferior, it was actually much more difficult.
What was the reason that allowed him to do such an incredible thing? Just like he said, he didn't have Qiu Shan Jun's bloodline talent, so he couldn't keep up with his son's footsteps. But he hoped that he could be as strong as possible, at least he wouldn't be a burden to his son.
"I hope that Qiu Shan can understand your painstaking efforts as soon as possible," the consecrator said sincerely as he looked at Qiu Shan by the window.
The Qiushan clan head calmly replied, "Even if he never finds out, so what?"
The consecrator said, "But today's matter will still have an impact."
Qiushan gazed out the window at the famed mountains of the south. After a very long period of silence, he finally said, "Correct, today's trip to Mount Li truly did run into many problems, because I didn't think that Qiushan was actually this sort of child."
The consecrator was also silent for a while before asking, "Patriarch, what did you think at first?"
This truly was a matter that he, and even all the trusted aides of the Qiushan clan, were curious about. This was because in the past few years, the Qiushan clan had secretly done many things for Qiushan Jun, and it seemed as if Qiushan Jun himself was unaware of these things.
"I originally believed that since he was my son, he would definitely be a person very similar to me … From another perspective, I originally believed that it was impossible for there to be a person as perfect as my son in this world, so his perfection was definitely fake."
A mysterious smile appeared on the Qiushan clan head's face. "So I thought … my son was a hypocrite. So I secretly did many things. It wouldn't be too much to say that I wouldn't commit any crime. It was all for the sake of laying a good foundation for him, matching his reputation in the world. I was just waiting for the day when he finally appeared in front of tens of thousands of people and revealed his true ambitions. "
"Like that marriage proposal in the capital?"
"Correct. I thought that since he wanted to marry Xu You Rong, he also didn't want to bear the infamy of coercion, so he deliberately calculated the time and fought with the demons over the key to the Garden of Zhou. I was his father, so of course I had to help him settle this matter."
The Qiushan clan head continued, "Another example is this time. I thought that he was pretending to be injured so that he could stay out of this matter, and at the same time, give my Qiushan clan an opportunity to rise in revolt. His plan could be said to be perfect, but who would have thought that I was wrong."
"I thought that my son was a hypocrite. I didn't think that he was actually a true hero."
He looked out the window at Mount Li and smiled. "But what father doesn't wish for their son to be a true hero? It's just that heroes die easily, so I, as his father, could only continue to commit any crime, continue to play the role of a hypocrite, in order to ensure that this hero of mine could live. In the future, when the entire world knows of my evil deeds and he needs to place righteousness before family, I will die at his hands … You see, this is such a perfect story. "
After hearing these words, the Guardian's heart was filled with endless sorrow. He thought to himself, the clan head truly is the world's most extraordinary father. His love for Qiushan Jun is so selfless and selfish, so intense that it makes people feel somewhat fearful. Anyone who blocks Qiushan Jun's path to the most resplendent river of stars will be eliminated by the clan head. And everyone knew that on this continent, the only youth that could barely be mentioned in the same breath as Qiushan Jun was called Chen Changsheng.
The Guardian began to sympathize with Chen Changsheng's miserable future.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the young Principal of the Orthodox Academy could leave Xunyang City alive.
"If the Storms of the Eight Directions move, Su Li will undoubtedly die, but Chen Changsheng will definitely live."
The Qiushan clan head calmly said, "That youth's background is too deep, his origins somewhat mysterious. Not even Holy Maiden Peak has been able to completely investigate it. The Divine Empress still hasn't spoken, Zhou Tong still hasn't moved, so I naturally won't be the first to move."
… …
… …
Mount Li was an extraordinary place. Liang Xiaoxiao had used his own death to kill people, while his Eldest Brother Qiushan Jun had used his own life to save people. This sort of person would not die so easily.
Chen Changsheng was the same, because he had always been saving people. The rain in Xunyang City was cold. Perhaps because of this, his face was rather pale. His drenched clothes were riddled with sword holes, but not much blood could be seen, because it had been washed away by the rain.
Liu Qing had an ordinary and unremarkable face, an ordinary and unremarkable sword, and the sword techniques he used seemed ordinary and unremarkable, yet he possessed an unimaginable upper level Star Condensation cultivation.
This was the world's third-ranked assassin. Every strike of his was as cold as ice.
Even though Chen Changsheng had been bathed in dragon blood, he still could not block that cold sword.
In a very short amount of time, he used the Yeshi Step to display the final move of the Mount Li Sword Style, continuously blocking six of Liu Qing's strikes. At the same time, six bloody holes appeared on his body.
The sword did not stab deeply, but it was very painful. Fortunately, the blood that flowed out had no taste, just as tasteless as this battle.
No matter how strange Liu Qing's movement technique was, his sword could not stab Su Li, only Chen Changsheng's body.
Because Chen Changsheng's sword was very decisive, very ruthless, so it was very fast.
Just like the sword that Qiushan Jun had stabbed into his chest at the peak of Mount Li.
He looked at Liu Qing, his face pale and expression serious. Emphasizing each word, he said, "I will not let you pass."
