"It’s okay, young man. Just leave quickly later so they can’t find you," the storyteller elder advised Lin Qingyi.
"Thank you for your concern, elder, but it’s fine, they can’t hurt ," Lin Qingyi replied with a smile. "I just called the elder here to chat about everyday life, to inquire about so matters."
"Oh?" The storyteller elder was curious, what did he want to find out?
"Elder, you’ve lived in Changting Town for many years, haven’t you?" Lin Qingyi took a sip of tea and asked.
"Yes, I’ve lived here my whole life," the storyteller elder nodded, "for almost seventy years now."
"That’s nice. To live one’s entire life in one place until old age is a kind of happiness," Lin Qingyi said faintly.
"Indeed," the storyteller elder nodded in agreent with Lin Qingyi’s words.
"I’m asking the elder about things from roughly over ten years ago. Did anyone from outside co to Changting Town at that ti and stayed for a very long ti? It could be one person or it could be a father and son," Lin Qingyi asked as if casually.
"Over ten years ago?" The storyteller elder pondered for a mont. "Oh, well, I’d need to think about that carefully."
"Take your ti," Lin Qingyi poured another cup of tea for the storyteller elder.
"There were indeed a few," after a while, the storyteller elder said in deep thought. "I’m getting older now, my mory isn’t as good as it used to be, I can only rember a few things that are more or less similar."
"Please, go ahead," Lin Qingyi said softly.
"In a small town like this, not many people usually co around. Over ten years ago, those who ca and stayed here for a long ti, or stayed for quite a long period, there really are a few,"
"I rember there was soone nad Zhao Dafeng who lived here for a few years. After his wife died, he left too."
"Then there was a beggar who ca to beg in Changting Town. He stayed here for more than a year before leaving as well."
"..."
The elder ntioned over a dozen people, and Lin Qingyi listened earnestly without the slightest impatience.
"But as for a man who brought his son to Changting Town and stayed for a long ti without leaving, there’s also such a pair. The man’s na is Li Changqing."
The storyteller elder told Lin Qingyi.
"Li Changqing?"
Hearing the previous nas, Lin Qingyi didn’t feel anything, but hearing this na, he vaguely felt so familiarity.
This Li Changqing seems to be one of the shareholders of the Evergreen Comrce Association.
"He ca to Changting Town just over ten years ago. Where exactly he ca from isn’t very clear," the storyteller elder said seriously. "Moreover, when he ca, he brought an infant, a boy nad Li Hengsheng. His son is quite remarkable, now a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land!"
"Li Hengsheng..." Lin Qingyi’s eyes narrowed slightly. This na was quite familiar to him.
In the recent Ghostly Realm trials of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, there was a disciple nad Li Hengsheng.
As for why Lin Qingyi rembered this Li Hengsheng,
it’s because a lot has happened to Li Hengsheng recently, and also due to matters involving Lu Shiran.
Lu Shiran and Li Hengsheng’s affair caused such a stir that Lin Qingyi couldn’t possibly be unaware.
Moreover, Celestial Sea City had so records of the disciples from each sect participating in the trials, and Li Hengsheng was a newly erged genius of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
Studied the great works of Painting Saint.
He passed the first trial of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion when he was in the Seventh Layer of the Transcendent Realm.
His performance in the Ten Thousand Beasts Collection was also eye-catching.
Although he was in the Postnatal Realm, in the Ghostly Realm trials he instantly killed a Mountain Ghost in the Postnatal Perfection Realm with ease.
He cultivated the Overlord Immortal Spear Skill.
Truly an eye-catching existence.
"That Li Changqing is not simple either; he’s a painter," the storyteller elder said enviously, "There’s no need to elaborate on a painter’s status. Over there on that street, there’s an Evergreen Painting Workshop that he opened, but I’ve heard he’s no longer painting and has been taken in by the Yan family as a distinguished guest."
The storyteller elder had shared all he knew.
"Interesting," Lin Qingyi chuckled.
This Li Changqing piqued Lin Qingyi’s interest, and he planned to pay a visit to see him.
"Keep drinking, I’m leaving now." Lin Qingyi stood up, placed a piece of silver on the table, and then turned to leave.
In the corner, several hooligan youths saw Lin Qingyi stand up and leave, exchanged glances, and stood up to follow him out.
The sunlight outside had just started to shine, and as the youths stepped outside, their faces were bathed in sunlight.
Soon after, they just stood there, faces filled with bewildernt.
They looked at each other in confusion.
"Brother Wu, I feel like there was sothing we were supposed to do, but I can’t rember what it was," one young man looked strangely at the leader of the group.
The leading young man also had a perplexed look on his face, "Was there sothing?"
It was as if they all had amnesia, unable to rember anything, not even what they had for breakfast.
anwhile, Lin Qingyi was already on his way to the Yan family.
He wanted to et this Li Changqing.
After walking down a street, he arrived at the Yan family’s entrance. Lin Qingyi lifted his foot and walked towards the entrance, entering the Yan family grounds as if there was no one there.
However, it seed as though the guards at the Yan family entrance didn’t see anything at all.
They didn’t even attempt to stop him.
Although the Yan family was not small, Lin Qingyi only needed to slightly sense and he detected an unusual aura.
