"However, Your Highness should still be cautious and make sure not to let His Majesty know of your intentions." The scholar’s assistant warned carefully.
"Yes." Yin Zixuan nodded solemnly.
Because of his own experiences, Yin Fengqi was particularly averse to such matters.
Yin Fengqi didn’t mind if his children competed openly, but wouldn’t tolerate anyone who copied his own deceitful tactics from years past.
The carriage gradually moved away.
Today’s event had also shaken the entire National Guardian Mansion.
The Governor of the National Guardian Mansion had been arrested.
A new Governor would soon take office.
However, these matters had nothing to do with Li Hengsheng, as he was extrely busy dealing with the Cangyuan Pavilion and the Hua family after the bloody events.
The impact of this incident at White Snake Dao was truly significant.
Seeing there was nothing else to attend to, Wan Guifeng returned.
The Mu Mansion completely lowered its profile.
Not daring to make any noise.
Similarly, the Hua family remained quiet, as did Caohe Village, afraid of drawing Li Hengsheng’s attention.
Li Hengsheng seized the opportunity to systematically reform White Snake Dao.
At the sa ti, Li Hengsheng didn’t forget to write a letter to Li Changqing to report his achievents.
Li Changqing was very pleased when he received the letter.
He continued to have Zhen Wanshou monitor the situation over there, while he spent his days teaching Yin Qing at the Qing Mansion.
Recently, Yin Zixuan had been attending more frequently; sotis, he would listen to Li Changqing’s lectures together with Yin Qing.
Li Changqing could sense Yin Zixuan’s intentions.
But Li Changqing said nothing, nor did he plan to beco involved in the power struggle for the Beihan Country’s throne.
He certainly did not want to be used as a pawn or beco a support for the sixteenth prince, who had no real ambition.
Mountain Ancient Land.
Xue Qianbai received a package.
Xue Qianbai was curious because the package was sent by Li Changqing but not through the Cangyuan Escort Agency; instead, it was delivered by soone from the Evergreen Comrce Association.
What was inside?
Why such caution?
Understanding Li Changqing, Xue Qianbai knew that if he was being so careful, even mistrusting the Cangyuan Escort Agency, then it must be sothing extrely valuable.
Taking the package from the Evergreen Comrce Association’s person, Xue Qianbai returned to Thousand Snow Peak and then to his own cultivation area.
Here, he had his Sword Qi barrier.
There was no worry of being discovered by others.
As Xue Qianbai opened the box, the atmosphere in the entire cultivation cave seed to grow cold.
Xue Qianbai’s heart trembled.
It was a treasure!
Inside the box was a wood carving.
Having known Li Changqing for so long, Xue Qianbai had experienced Li Changqing’s wood carvings many tis before.
They were treasures comparable to paintings, offering a more three-dinsional and intuitive experience.
One could say that Li Changqing’s carved treasures were invaluable.
Xu Muhai had reached the Grandmaster level by relying on a wooden cauldron given to him by Li Changqing.
Xue Qianbai didn’t expect Li Changqing to send him another wood carving.
Yet when Xue Qianbai gazed at this wood carving, he was still astounded by it.
It was a landscape wood carving.
In contrast to paintings, landscape and portrait paintings could only be crafted by High-Level Painters, and functional landscape and portrait paintings were even rarer.
The changes in nature were countless and continuous.
How does one capture the transformation of nature?
And how can one truly depict the natural scenery?
Compared to weapons or animals, these were indeed high-end treasures.
The sa could be said for this carving.
At the mont, the landscape carving in Xue Qianbai’s hand captured his gaze.
For Xue Qianbai realized this landscape carving was a Painting Treasure!
In the distance were rolling mountains, a river flowed nearby, and an elderly man wearing a straw raincoat sat by the river fishing, with snowflakes falling around.
This scene contained a profound artistic conception that Xue Qianbai could sense.
When Xue Qianbai noticed a poem beside the carving, his astonishnt deepened.
"A thousand mountains without a bird in flight, all trails have vanished."
"An old man, in a solitary boat with a straw coat, fishes alone in the cold river snow."
After reading the poem, Xue Qianbai found himself imrsed in an artistic conception!
He felt the world around him transform!
Transforming into that riverbank!
It was as if he had beco the elderly man in the scene, wearing the straw coat.
And as Xue Qianbai imrsed himself, the fishing rod in his hand seed to turn into his Thousand Snow Sword.
Without any effort, Xue Qianbai sank into this realm.
This wood carving alone guided Xue Qianbai onto a new path.
It was unclear how many days passed since Xue Qianbai entered this state of enlightennt.
Life went on pleasantly, with Li Changqing continuing his routine, and Li Hengsheng’s Tushan City thriving more each day.
But then one day, Yin Fengqi himself ca to Changqing Mansion to find Li Changqing.
"Mr. Changqing," Yin Fengqi bowed respectfully to Li Changqing, then said, "There is news that people from the Su family are coming towards our Beihan Country."
"What is ant to co will co eventually."
Li Changqing wasn’t surprised, knowing that given the Su family’s resources, they would inevitably locate Lu Shiran quickly.
Once again, Li Changqing admired the intelligence capabilities of Cangyuan Pavilion.
