"Cangyuan Pavilion’s intelligence capabilities are truly impressive," Li Changqing could not help but exclaim.
"Indeed," Yin Fengqi said, "I once tried to recruit soone from Cangyuan Pavilion to work for , but ended up failing."
"Your Majesty knows soone from Cangyuan Pavilion? Isn’t it said that people from Cangyuan Pavilion are extrely mysterious and never show themselves?" Li Changqing beca interested.
"People from Cangyuan Pavilion are mysterious, but not without flaws."
Yin Fengqi said, "The person in question was on the black list, having committed a cri in Beihan Country, and was caught by us. Then Cangyuan Pavilion ca to demand his release, and that’s when I found out he worked for them, primarily responsible for gathering intelligence near Beihan Country."
"After being caught, the person beca a bandit in a nearby mountain in Beihan Country. I went to see him twice, trying to recruit him, but he utterly refused," Yin Fengqi sighed. "Cangyuan Pavilion is quite capable. Those who manage to join are practically unbreakable in loyalty!"
"But according to Your Majesty, this person is just soone collecting intelligence outside, not much help to you, right?"
Li Changqing was a bit curious.
If you want to turn soone, you need soone who can bring information out from inside Cangyuan Pavilion.
"Mr. Changqing, you might not know," Yin Fengqi explained, "Generally speaking, people in Cangyuan Pavilion prefer to work as intelligence agents, more freedom compared to handling intelligence within the pavilion, so if he’s willing to return, soone else would co in his place."
"I wanted him to return and do intelligence for Cangyuan Pavilion. If Beihan Country could get first-hand intelligence from Cangyuan Pavilion, it would be imnsely beneficial!"
Yin Fengqi looked regretful.
Li Changqing also wished to have such an intelligence agent within Cangyuan Pavilion.
But if even Yin Fengqi couldn’t manage it, what could he do?
However, Li Changqing was about to leave Beihan Country soon.
Since the Su family was headed towards Beihan Country, they certainly intended to find Lu Shiran.
His son was there.
The Su family already had conflicts with Li Hengsheng, especially Su Xianci.
So Li Changqing wanted to go there to protect his son.
Firstly, to prevent them from easily taking his daughter-in-law, and even more importantly, to stop them from harming his son.
Thirdly, Li Changqing had to find a way from them to unlock the Immortal Suppression Finger.
To help Lu Shiran restore her strength and Divine Body.
As for the fourth point.
This Su family even dared to cause trouble in Changting Town before.
Fine, since they delivered themselves here, he might as well cause them so trouble in return.
After instructing Yin Qing and leaving so tasks for her, Li Changqing left Beihan Country, heading towards the National Guardian Mansion.
National Guardian Mansion, White Snake Dao.
This wasn’t Li Changqing’s first visit. He had been here once looking for his son, but this ti, he could clearly feel that White Snake Dao had improved since then.
At least he saw more smiles on the faces of the townsfolk in White Snake Dao.
Li Changqing did not disturb anyone and simply checked into an inn to wait for the Su family’s arrival.
Li Hengsheng, unexpectedly, was unaware that his father had already arrived.
In recent days, he had finally found so respite.
Many tasks had been delegated to his subordinates, and recently, recruitnt at the Inspection Mansion had been entrusted to the old Marquis Yan.
A lot of people ca to join the Inspection Mansion, with hundreds lining up each day.
But the elimination rate was very high, at least minimally requiring so martial skill to beco a guard.
Even a Transcendent Realm could be turned away.
Li Hengsheng had been coming and going early and late recently, and Lu Shiran waited unwaveringly every day for his return, like a newlywed bride.
She would even serve freshly ward als when he ca back.
While this warmth comforted Li Hengsheng, he also felt troubled.
Lu Shiran was a genius from Guanglan Palace, her cultivation talent exceptionally strong, and she possessed a Divine Body. Such a woman was destined to be a peerless powerhouse.
Yet, now she had beco like a little maid.
This left Li Hengsheng feeling uneasy.
What could he do to unseal the constraints on Lu Shiran?
But the Su family’s Immortal Suppression Finger was their trademark skill, not sothing easily undone.
He could only wait until he could take Lu Shiran to the Mountain Ancient Land, hoping that his master might have a solution.
But that would take a very long ti.
During this period, Lu Shiran’s cultivation was truly being delayed.
"Husband, are you worrying about my cultivation?" Lu Shiran handed Li Hengsheng a towel to wipe his face.
Li Hengsheng didn’t deny it, just nodded.
"I know of a way that might work," Lu Shiran said seriously as she looked at Li Hengsheng.
"You know?" Li Hengsheng was surprised. "You know a way to lift the seal, then why did you wait until now?"
"Because I can’t do it alone. Only with you, Husband, can it work. But you’ve been so busy lately, so I kept quiet."
Lu Shiran spoke calmly.
"Tell , what is this thod?" Li Hengsheng asked helplessly. "You should have said earlier, nothing is more important than you recovering your cultivation."
"The thod is dual cultivation," Lu Shiran stated matter-of-factly. "Husband, you also have a Divine Body. During our union, we’ll use your Divine Body to impact my seal, and then my Divine Body will resonate, restoring my cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hengsheng was dumbfounded.
Can it work like that?
I didn’t study much, but don’t try to fool !
"Where did you hear about this thod?" Li Hengsheng asked, shocked.
"I thought of it myself." Lu Shiran, lacking any talent for deception, confessed straightforwardly.
Li Hengsheng was speechless on the spot.
He looked at the girl before him, thinking she might just want to trick him into getting physical.
Ah, won.
They could be so blatantly coveting his body.
As he was speaking, Lu Shiran’s expression changed slightly, and she opened the window to look into the distance.
"What’s wrong?"
Li Hengsheng didn’t feel anything.
"Soone from the Su family is here," Lu Shiran said blankly. "I can sense their presence."
"The Su family is coming?" Li Hengsheng was startled.
The Su family’s power was not sothing to underestimate. If they truly ca to take Lu Shiran away, how could he possibly protect her?
Despite how powerful his Sun and Moon True Fla was, the Su family’s experts were no joke, as he’d seen at the Mountain Ancient Land.
They were at the Great Martial Sect level!
Even his potent Sun and Moon True Fla couldn’t hold up against the Great Martial Sect!
Was there still ti to escape with Lu Shiran?
It might already be too late.
"They should almost be outside the town," Lu Shiran turned to Li Hengsheng, unsure of what to say.
She felt the seal within her quiver, indicating the Su family had indeed arrived.
If the Su family truly ca to capture her, how could Li Hengsheng fend them off?
"Go and et the Su family."
At that mont, a voice appeared in Li Hengsheng’s mind.
The voice sounded familiar.
Yet, Li Hengsheng couldn’t imdiately recall who it was.
"I am the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable."
Li Changqing’s voice appeared ethereal.
"Predecessor Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable!" Li Hengsheng was overjoyed. He didn’t expect the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable would appear here.
With Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable present, the Su family posed no threat!
"Go, see what the Su family wants. With here, you two will be safe," Li Changqing’s voice continued, "If you can, find a way to force them to use the Immortal Suppression Finger."
"Yes!"
Li Hengsheng’s heart was brimming with confidence.
"Shiran, let’s go et the Su family outside the town," Li Hengsheng said.
"Alright."
Since Li Hengsheng said so, Lu Shiran had no hesitation. She believed that Li Hengsheng might have a plan.
Even if Li Hengsheng ended up handing her over, she wouldn’t bla him. Lu Shiran just hoped the Su family’s wrath wouldn’t spill over onto Li Hengsheng.
