Li Changqing nodded, gaining a basic understanding of this National Guardian Mansion.
"However, inspectors are generally disciples from sects who have reached Innate cultivation and above," Bai Jingfei said. "After all, in such places, many local forces have Innate powerhouses overseeing them, so how could you command respect without a certain level of cultivation?"
Li Changqing frowned, as his son was rely at the Postnatal Perfection stage, yet Luo Xiaochuan assigned his son to that place as an inspector.
Isn’t this sending his son to his death?
This Luo Xiaochuan is truly no good.
If he were to go there himself, he certainly couldn’t live in the National Guardian Mansion, otherwise, running into his son might extinguish his son’s last glimr of hope, wouldn’t it?
That would truly be the end.
So Li Changqing asked, "What are the nearest cities within the range of this National Guardian Mansion?"
"The nearest ones..."
Bai Jingfei recalled for a mont, then said, "The nearby are so small frontier towns belonging to Beihan Country, such as Zi Wu City and Changlong City."
"Zi Wu City has stationed troops guarding it, as it’s close to the Black U Forest."
"That Black U Forest stretches for miles, with many ferocious Spirit Beasts within, not to ntion the Ghost Race frequently attempting to smuggle across, so the stationed troops in Zi Wu City are there to prevent them from plaguing Beihan City."
"Changlong City, though nad Changlong (Prosperity), is actually a very poor place," Bai Jingfei said with a smile.
"I more or less understand now."
Li Changqing nodded.
"Alright, you may return now," Li Changqing said, waving his hand.
"Yes."
Bai Jingfei cupped his fists in a salute, then left.
The next morning, Li Changqing went to the Ten Thousand Books Tower, found a map inside, and located the position of the National Guardian Mansion on it.
The National Guardian Mansion’s area was quite large.
After checking the positions of the two cities, Li Changqing figured that since he wanted to protect his son, Zi Wu City was the closest location.
It’s only separated by a large river from the position of the National Guardian Mansion.
If his son truly encounters danger, he could ride his sword across the river to save him.
Li Changqing nodded, that’s the plan.
Leaving the Ten Thousand Books Tower, Li Changqing returned to his little courtyard, saw Zhang Fuguang busy there, and told Zhang Fuguang that he would be going out for a while.
"Mr. Changqing, how long will you be gone?" Zhang Fuguang asked.
"It’s hard to say." Li Changqing didn’t know exactly when he would return.
"Sir, let go with you," Zhang Fuguang said. "You need soone to manage things for you when you’re out and about."
"How can that be? The journey is long and arduous, and more importantly, what about Yaoyao? She’s still here attending school." Li Changqing shook his head repeatedly.
"School can be attended anywhere. If Mr. Changqing leaves, how could we, father and daughter, shalessly stay at the Yan family?"
Zhang Fuguang quickly said.
"Stay well, it’s no problem," Li Changqing said with a smile. "You are my people; no one in the Yan family will trouble you."
"If Mr. Changqing leaves, then we, father and daughter, must also bid farewell," Zhang Fuguang insisted.
"This..."
Seeing Zhang Fuguang so determined, Li Changqing hesitated for a mont and finally nodded, "Alright, but the conditions won’t be as good once we’re out, and you may have to endure hardships."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fuguang laughed and said, "We, father and daughter, are not afraid of hardship. We’ve endured much."
"Alright then, pack up."
Li Changqing said, then went to find Yan Botao, as this matter had to be discussed with him.
If it were just him, Li Changqing planned to ride Ah Fei, but now with Zhang Fuguang and Zhang Siyao joining, Li Changqing simply had people from the Cangyuan Escort Agency co, intending to take a flight transport provided by them.
It would only take just over two days to reach Zi Wu City.
Hearing Li Changqing was leaving, Yan Botao was taken aback.
But hearing that Li Changqing was going to Beihan Country, and knowing he wasn’t planning to leave the Evergreen Comrce Association, Yan Botao was slightly relieved.
Li Changqing took everything from his small courtyard that he could carry, especially the things he usually made in the backyard; he brought those along this ti too.
However, after Li Changqing left, it seed there would be no more good stories at Shiyan Studio.
Once everything was ready, Zhang Fuguang picked Zhang Siyao up from school and told her they were moving to a new place.
The conditions might not be as good as now.
But Zhang Siyao smiled and said, "Wherever Dad and Mr. Changqing are, Yaoyao will be there."
After giving so instructions, Li Changqing and the others left Changting Town, then got on Black U, heading towards Zi Wu City in Beihan Country.
As Black U soared into the sky, Li Changqing looked back at the small Changting Town and couldn’t help but sigh, wondering when they’d return next ti.
In Dao Mountain ancient land.
By midday, a carrier pigeon flew in and landed right in front of Xue Qianbai.
Xue Qianbai opened the letter and chuckled to himself.
The letter was sent by Li Changqing.
Informing Xue Qianbai that he had gone to Beihan Country.
Such a result didn’t surprise Xue Qianbai at all; Li Changqing was certainly a doting guardian. With his son going to the National Guardian Mansion, Li Changqing was bound to follow.
The letter said nothing else.
anwhile, in a grotto behind a waterfall, Luo Xiaochuan was leisurely fishing by the river.
