"Mrs. Ye, why haven't we seen your three sons?" a prominent hero respectfully asked.
"The three brothers have not been feeling well these past few days, so they've been keeping quiet," Li Zangfeng suddenly replied on behalf of Ye Feifei.
"Oh, sick, are they?" The big man looked at Ye Feifei skeptically. He nodded and said to her, "If the three are ill, I wouldn't bully them by coming here again. But I couldn't resist dropping by—I hope you don't mind my visit."
Li Zangfeng cast a profound gaze at Ye Feifei, feeling sowhat guilty, and imdiately held his tongue. Ye Feifei was a formidable woman, deft in managing Li Fu. Her prestige and thods could clearly be seen by all.
"Mrs. Ye, is there so hidden aning here?" Seeing Ye Feifei remain silent, Baidu Chang Feng asked curiously.
"How could there be? It's rely the healer's advice to maintain a peaceful environnt. As their condition improves, it's best they don't interact with the outside world, so…"
Although Li Qingyu had always been famous in his youth, that was all.
Ye Feifei glanced at Li Qingyu briefly and said with so surprise, "The healer said you need rest, yet here you are running around again?"
A healer? What kind of teacher in dicine?
After a brief hesitation, Li Qingyu quickly understood and replied with grievance, "Mom, staying ho all alone is boring, so I sneaked out for a walk."
"Nonsense! When will you recover from your sickly appearance? Hurry back ho now!"
Baidu Chang Feng almost rolled his eyes completely back, thinking he was being played for a fool. But he ultimately said nothing, instead giving a piercing glance at Feifei's teacup.
Li Qingyu suddenly relaxed upon realizing the tension dissipated. Earlier, a young beast had flown into the courtyard, scratching the wall with its claws while snatching sugar-coated hawthorn sticks.
Li Qing's face darkened imdiately at the ti. She scolded them, saying wild beasts should disappear before the situation escalated. She was planning to find a solution herself. But brother, you've made an entrance so lethal it's hard to resolve!
The beast blinked its large eyes and frowned towards the people below once before flying over to Li Zangfeng directly. It cared nothing for the odd glances of others and simply dread of devouring the sugar hawthorn.
Li Zangfeng: ?
For a mont, everyone was srized by Li Zangfeng. Suddenly, a creature had jumped into the scene. His charisma was evidently so great—even beasts wouldn't disobey him.
Others were astonished. Li Qingyu breathed another sigh of relief. Fortunately, the clever little beast caught his signal. If not, explaining the incident now might have been impossible.
Seizing the mont while everyone's attention was diverted to the beast, Li Qingyu quietly slipped back into the room, shut the door, and quickly laid down to sleep, diving into his spiritual sea.
This ti, God entered the palace of mind-reading technique.
The palace was slightly dark and eerily silent, with only a single chair engraved with a golden dragon placed secretly at the top of the chamber.
Li Qingyu used to sit on this seat often. Once, the deafening roar of a dragon had exploded in his ears. The next mont, a radiant violet light suddenly shattered the chains of darkness, illuminating everything like the echo of the dragon's roar.
The dragon's chatter continued, unknown to him. The violet light grew increasingly bright, its radiance breaking the palace's obscuring darkness entirely, revealing hidden stars in the sky. Among them, one star stood out dazzlingly—it was the star itself.
"Yes… the Violet Star?"
Li Qingyu had sowhat guessed that all of this was connected to his practicing of the starry realm. However, he never imagined he was summoning this extraordinary violet star! Li Qingyu couldn't contain his laughter—he finally understood why the Empire was shaken by his cultivation.
This left Li Qingyu puzzled, as Elder Wu had once told him that stars entering one's life would only appear after reaching a focused state of mind. Yet, sohow, he had bypassed this phase entirely, achieving the realm of star integration without even searching for the stars—a phenonon unheard of.
"Such luck… unreal!"
Returning from the sea of consciousness, Li Qingyu stood again, slightly frustrated. He wanted to focus on cultivating, but his thoughts were scattered. How could cultivation feel this uninspired?
His efforts and experience failed to solve any real problems. Quietly, Li Qingyu resolved not to waste his fantasy completely.
Besides attaining a connection with the stars, this ti's biggest achievent was ascending within the martial arts world to the peak of third-level organ cultivation.
The lungs, liver, kidney, heart, and spleen were saturated, particularly with purity. However, the drastic increase in cultivation power had resulted in significant aftereffects—the control of the five essences had beco peculiar.
Apart from the naturally awakened fire essence, which could be barely controlled, the other four were as wild as unbroken steeds, entirely untad. Li Qingyu spent half an hour sweating to rein them in but to no avail.
"It seems I'll need to reach the Dan Yuan realm to achieve balance in essence control. Hah, mastering true martial virtue will take more ti indeed."
Li Qingyu felt a renewed sense of lancholy. He couldn't help but contemplate a philosophical question again: Why was cultivation so difficult? Really… why?
In truth, shortcuts in cultivation were few. Step by step progress was slow but rooted strongly in principle.
Li Qingyu's current level was equivalent to high school within the Ming Dynasty, and jumping repeatedly from lower to higher grades proved challenging—his progress spoke for itself.
However, fortunately, the Kingdom wouldn't tolerate deception in combat, which offered him so comfort.
"Wow!"
"Co here!"
The door opened abruptly, and Li Qingyu was imdiately summoned, "Mom."
Ye Feifei cast a sharp glance at Li Qingyu. At this mont, he no longer concealed his realm. Sure enough, the aura of his hidden third-level cultivation leaked out. This surprised him slightly, yet also proved...
Though Li Qingyu refused to acknowledge the phenona earlier, Ye Feifei could clearly affirm that the one stirring natural anomalies must have been her youngest son, as one could infer from Li Qingyu's cultivation level.
Hence, Ye Feifei refrained from reprimanding Li Fu—her reasoning in this was clear.
Ye Feifei felt both anger and satisfaction.
She was angry because Li Qingyu wouldn't tell his biological mother the truth. Could her own child really not trust her? Even feral tigers wouldn't harm their cubs!
But she was comforted by Li Qingyu's cautiousness. Her greatest fear was that youthful recklessness might spark public indiscretions one after another, putting her son in danger.
Yet Ye Feifei clearly thought too much. Li Xiaosheng proved far shrewder than she could've imagined. His careful crafting of words showed emotional maturity far beyond his re 15 years.
Ye Feifei gazed deeply into Li Qingyu's earnest yet regretful eyes, helplessly rubbed her temples, and proclaid, "Alright, let's leave today's matter here. Rember the promise I just made!"
Li Qingyu hurriedly nodded, his reply sincere, if nothing else.
"Oh, by the way, I've heard you brought Li Yanran back recently?"
Li Qingyu was startled by the question. Has Li Yanran co back again? Mother, are you truly incapable of backing off?
"No…"
"I know you're growing up. In the wake of this year, you've beco a man. It's ti to start thinking about marriage!"
"No…"
Li Qingyu imdiately rushed to respond. He wasn't old enough yet! How could anyone discuss marriage at this phase? He was barely at Earth's junior high level—the thought of marriage at 18 was simply absurd!
Unfortunately, Ye Feifei didn't give Li Qingyu an opportunity to explain. "In two days, your father will return. We'll discuss the matter with him then!"
Ye Feifei left delighted, leaving Li Qingyu alone in a room full of chaos.
