"Phew, that’s great." After Lord Zhou finished speaking, he added with a face full of reproach, "You must not go into that place again. It’s really too dangerous in there. It was my fault that day—I should have stopped you, almost cost you your life in there."
"Alright, alright, I won’t go in again." Li Hengsheng agreed. Knowing that the people from the Longevity Sect were looking for a chance to kill him, Li Hengsheng didn’t plan on going back in—going inside would only give the Longevity Sect an opportunity.
"Sister Qingge, I’ll head back now." Li Hengsheng said goodbye to Mu Qingge.
"What? Qingge... Sister?" Lord Zhou was dumbfounded upon hearing this address.
Mu Qingge was recognized as the Qingge Immortal—who would dare address her so flippantly? Wouldn’t they get their eyes poked out by Mu Qingge?
However, in the next mont, Mu Qingge said very gently to Li Hengsheng, "Alright, don’t get injured anymore. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, co directly to . If you need my help, you can co by anyti—no need to be formal with Sister."
Lord Zhou was petrified on the spot.
What the heck?
Am I not awake yet?
"Brother Chang Li, I’m off. If there’s a chance in the future, co visit Dao Mountain Ancient Land." Li Hengsheng also spoke with Yin Changli.
"Definitely!" Yin Changli nodded.
After that, Li Hengsheng and Lord Zhou left the dical King Valley’s residence and headed towards Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
All the way, Lord Zhou didn’t say a word but kept observing Li Hengsheng from behind.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Li Hengsheng got creeped out by Lord Zhou’s constant staring. What was this guy doing staring at his butt?
Did he have so bad intentions?
"Your senior brother has been pondering a question." Lord Zhou said seriously.
Li Hengsheng’s face changed. Thinking about questions while staring at his butt?
"Third senior brother," Li Hengsheng said warily, "you’ve been helping since I joined Muhaifeng. I’ll always rember your kindness. I’ll help you with anything, but for this one thing, I really can’t."
Lord Zhou: "???"
"What thing?" Lord Zhou looked utterly confused.
"What are you pondering?" Li Hengsheng was also puzzled. Was he playing dumb?
"I’ve been wondering what kind of sinister cultivation technique you’ve been practicing," Lord Zhou said with a frown. "Since you arrived at Muhaifeng, even the second senior sister has co to see you in person. The Spirit Chicken is yours for eating, and even its feathers are plucked clean and sent your way."
"Lu Shiran, a genius disciple from Guanglan Palace, seems like she’ll only marry you after seeing you once."
"And now, even Qingge Immortal, who has a cold attitude towards n, is extrely gentle with you." At this mont, Lord Zhou’s eyes were red with envy. "Old Fourth, after thinking it over, I feel like your cultivation technique is very dangerous. I don’t know which sinister painting you comprehended it from, but sothing seems off."
"Quickly hand over this painting to , so I can secretly destroy it and prevent it from causing harm to the world!"
"What are you talking about, senior brother? There’s no such painting." Li Hengsheng was speechless.
"Old Fourth, if you just lend this painting to comprehend, I’ll renounce my master and beco your disciple!" There was a hint of pleading in Lord Zhou’s eyes.
Seeing Lord Zhou’s expression, Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but chuckle, "Senior brother, stop kidding around; there’s no such cultivation technique. Don’t joke about it. Second senior sister is nice to because I’m the youngest junior brother, and my cultivation is weak, so she wants to give the Spirit Chicken to boost it."
"As for Lu Shiran, don’t even ntion her—she’s a bit odd, with no reference value whatsoever. If you can figure out her thought process, you’ll only get farther from normal."
"Qingge Sister is actually very nice. It’s just that the many suitors she has outside are botherso to her, so she cos off as cold, but she’s really gentle and treats well."
Hearing Li Hengsheng’s explanation, Lord Zhou sighed helplessly, "Ah, Old Fourth, you’ve beco quite tactful. But this cultivation technique is an unspoken secret, and it’s understandable that you don’t want to reveal it. Third senior brother doesn’t bla you."
Li Hengsheng: "..."
It seems like there’s no way to explain this clearly.
After a while, Li Hengsheng returned to the residence.
"Sect Leader, disciple has returned." Li Hengsheng quickly went to visit the elders of the sect and Xue Qianbai.
Xue Qianbai nodded, not saying much. Xue Qianbai had known all along that Li Hengsheng was fine. If sothing had actually happened to him, Li Changqing would have exploded by now.
"Are you alright?" Li Jingsong approached with concern.
"I’m fine." Li Hengsheng said with a smile.
"Hmm, not only are you fine, but it seems your cultivation has also improved. A blessing in disguise." Li Jingsong could see Li Hengsheng’s progress in cultivation.
"Sorry for worrying you, Pavilion Master." Li Hengsheng said a bit embarrassed.
"I’m fine." Li Jingsong replied with a smile, "But when you were in that forbidden zone, it was the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable who saved you. You should go thank him."
"Mm."
Even without Li Jingsong telling him, Li Hengsheng would have thanked Li Changqing.
After all, it wasn’t the first ti the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable had saved him.
Arriving at the Zhanhe Mansion’s residence, the two residences were adjacent and accessible, so Li Hengsheng saw Li Changqing busy with sothing from afar and then quickly walked over.
"Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, senior." Li Hengsheng stopped and was about to bow and express his gratitude to Li Changqing.
But before Li Hengsheng could say thank you, Li Changqing turned around and handed him sothing. Looking up, Li Hengsheng saw it was a box of steaming hot rice with a lid.
For a mont, Li Hengsheng was just stunned there.
