Thinking about eting his son, Li Changqing was unexpectedly a bit nervous.
Although it wasn’t the first ti he would see his son, this was the first ti he would et him as Li Changqing and not as the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, and the feeling was completely different.
Li Changqing quickly asked Zhang Fuguang to find Yan Botao.
This eting must not have any slip-ups.
So he needed to give Yan Botao a few instructions.
At this ti, Yan Botao had just received a ssage from his daughter, Yan Yuyun, learning that Li Hengsheng was heading toward Changting Town, and he was just about to find Li Changqing to inform him of this news.
Who would have thought Zhang Fuguang would co at this mont, saying Li Changqing had matters to discuss, prompting Yan Botao to hurriedly rush over.
Li Changqing and Yan Botao discussed the necessary precautions.
Additionally, Li Changqing requested so rather shabby-looking paintings from Yan Botao’s residence and found a few from the previous Evergreen Painting Workshop, and then hung them up in the house.
After all, in his son’s mind, he was a painter. It wouldn’t make sense not to have a single painting at ho.
Once everything was prepared, Li Changqing also instructed Zhang Fuguang and his daughter, Zhang Siyao, that if Li Hengsheng asked, they should say that he painted at ho every day.
Even though Zhang Fuguang and Zhang Siyao did not understand the reasoning, since it was Li Changqing’s request, they naturally were going to comply. Zhang Siyao, being sensible, nodded, assuring she wouldn’t spill the beans.
After preparing everything, Li Changqing also dug out so old notes he had recorded.
He then reviewed information about Li Hengsheng on them, recalling so amusing childhood stories, checking if he had any lapses in mory, since their correspondence had already proven to Li Changqing his cheeky son’s cunning.
Sotis, he tested him in letters, almost exposing him several tis.
Fortunately, with the intelligence provided by Lu Qiaoqiao, he could learn things about Li Hengsheng, and with her sotis analyzing his son’s actions, otherwise, he would surely have been tricked.
After reviewing once more, Li Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief; if he hadn’t done so, really eting his son would leave him utterly clueless, very likely revealing the truth in no ti.
Approaching dusk, Zi Dian entered Changting Town.
Zi Dian’s massive size attracted quite a few onlookers.
Though the carriage was not bumpy, Li Hengsheng lay inside, seemingly slling the scent of his hotown; thus, he slowly opened his eyes, then moved his body and sat up.
"Senior Brother, you’re awake." Wu Santong said with a smile, "It seems Senior Brother slept quite soundly on this journey."
"Have we arrived at Changting Town?" Li Hengsheng lifted the curtain and glanced outside, where there was a clean street, a street he was very familiar with.
"Yes, we just entered the town." At this ti, Wu Santong also lifted the curtain, looking outside, then said with a smile, "I didn’t expect this is where Senior Brother grew up. Though the town doesn’t seem big, the atmosphere is quite nice, better than our little hotown."
"Hmm, Changting Town is alright, not many people co normally, but nothing is lacking." Li Hengsheng nodded.
Before long, Xu Kui stopped the carriage, then said, "Young Master, we’re here."
Wu Santong quickly got up and alighted from the carriage, lifting the curtain for Li Hengsheng.
Li Hengsheng stepped down from the carriage, looking at the Yan family before him. Though he had visited not long ago, it seed ages had passed, and everything felt different.
"Young Master Li, you’ve returned!"
The guard at the gate recognized Li Hengsheng, having seen him before, hurriedly ca up to greet him.
"Please inform them that Li Hengsheng from Dao Mountain has co to visit." Li Hengsheng told the guards.
"No need to report."
The Yan family mber at the gate smiled and said, "The Clan Leader has already instructed that once you arrive, treat it as your own ho, no need to report. Please, co in."
"Alright then." Li Hengsheng nodded, then entered with Wu Santong.
"Where is your stable?" Xu Kui stepped forward to ask.
"I will take you there." A guard quickly replied.
"This Yan family is indeed impressive." After entering the Yan family residence, Wu Santong glanced around. Though it was rely a family in a small town, the scenery here was quite nice, exuding an overall air of opulence.
"It’s natural to be impressive since even the Evergreen Comrce Association is owned by the Yan family." Li Hengsheng looked around and nodded.
"Oh, right."
Only then did Wu Santong rember that the Evergreen Comrce Association belonged to the family in Changting Town, and Yan Botao from the Yan family was the chairman of the Evergreen Comrce Association.
With this in mind, this display by the Yan family was actually beyond reproach, especially considering how the Evergreen Comrce Association was thriving across the Eastern Wilderness, making a fortune with their products.
After only a few steps, Yan Botao ca over and had a ’chance encounter’ with Li Hengsheng.
"Nephew!" Yan Botao feigned surprise and said, "Why have you returned? Why didn’t you send a letter beforehand so I could arrange for soone to pick you up?"
"Clan Leader Yan." Li Hengsheng courteously replied, "I apologize for intruding again."
"Oh, co now, it’s not an intrusion. Didn’t I say it’s just like coming ho here?" Yan Botao said cheerfully.
"Is my father here?" At this mont, Li Hengsheng hurriedly asked.
