"My package?" Li Hengsheng looked surprised, then quickly put down the two bundles of firewood on his body and took the package from Lu Qiaoqiao's hand. It was slightly heavy.

 

He sat down on a stone by the roadside, and when he saw Li Changqing's name written on the package, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. But immediately after, Li Hengsheng forced a bitter smile and hesitated to open it.

 

"Brother Li, why don't you open it?" Lu Qiaoqiao sat down beside Li Hengsheng and smiled. "You used to complain that your father didn't even reply to your letters. Now that he has sent you a letter, you're frowning."

 

Hearing this, Li Hengsheng could only force a bitter smile and sighed, "My father is obsessed with painting, but he doesn't have the talent for it. Before, because I sent back less money, he asked me several times to send more, but I also need to live, so I ignored it. As a result, he hasn't written to me for over half a year."

 

Lu Qiaoqiao listened quietly without interrupting. She naturally knew the hardships of this young man in front of her.

 

As a miscellaneous disciple, she also knew that Li Hengsheng could only receive a little over a hundred silver coins of cultivation resources from the sect every month, and he had to send half of it back to his bottomless pit of a father.

 

In the two years since entering the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, her cultivation had already reached the Transcendence Realm's seventh level, but Li Hengsheng was still at the third level.

 

The lack of resources led to slow progress for Li Hengsheng.

 

As a result, Li Hengsheng had become a laughingstock on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters and was often bullied.

 

Sometimes, Lu Qiaoqiao wanted to share her resources with Li Hengsheng, but he always refused.

 

This made Lu Qiaoqiao admire and pity Li Hengsheng at the same time.

 

She always remembered when she first arrived at the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, it was Li Hengsheng who helped her through the most difficult period. He also helped her with many things that she couldn't finish. But in the end, she couldn't help him with anything.

 

"My father suddenly wrote to me, and I feel a little uneasy." Li Hengsheng looked at the package in his hand and hesitated to open it.

 

"Open it and take a look. I'm here with you. Whatever it is, we'll face it together." Lu Qiaoqiao sat beside Li Hengsheng and spoke softly, her voice gentle.

 

This sentence made Li Hengsheng blush suddenly, and he didn't dare to look into Lu Qiaoqiao's eyes.

 

Li Hengsheng genuinely liked his junior sister Lu. He fell in love with this lovely girl at first sight.

 

But Li Hengsheng didn't dare to say it. He felt somewhat inferior in his heart. With a bottomless pit of a father and no support from his family, he had no talent either.

 

Although Lu Qiaoqiao was not from a prominent family and didn't have any particularly distinguished identity, her family still had some abilities. Lu Qiaoqiao also had good aptitude. In another year or two, she had a good chance of surpassing the Transcendence Realm and becoming an outer disciple.

 

From any perspective, he was not worthy of her.

 

So Li Hengsheng remained silent, just blushing and bowing his head, tearing open the outer layer of the package, wanting to see what was inside.

 

"Hmm?"

 

Looking at a box and a letter inside, Li Hengsheng was surprised. This was the first time Li Changqing had sent him something.

 

Without looking at the box, Li Hengsheng opened the envelope to see what was written inside.

 

As soon as the envelope was opened, something slid out and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, as if it was the sound of metal.

 

"What is this?" Lu Qiaoqiao picked up the piece of metal and found a 'Qi' character written on it. The metal piece seemed to have a sense of age, with very mysterious patterns engraved on it. At first glance, it had an artistic atmosphere.

 

But Li Hengsheng didn't pay any attention to the metal piece at all. He was shocked by the silver ticket taken out of the envelope!

 

A total of seven thousand taels!

 

Li Hengsheng could hardly believe his eyes. Where did so much money come from?

 

Even Lu Qiaoqiao was stunned when she saw so many silver tickets. Among all the disciples on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters, it was probably impossible to find someone with so much money.

 

"Your father sent you money." Lu Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and she started to feel happy for Li Hengsheng.

 

Li Hengsheng opened the letter. There were only a few sentences in the letter, telling him to focus on cultivation. His father had made progress in painting, so he no longer needed to send money home. The seven thousand taels of silver tickets and the Blood Ginseng were for his cultivation, hoping he would succeed soon.

 

Li Changqing didn't dare to say too much, fearing exposure. Even the handwriting was imitated from the original host's handwriting.

 

Li Hengsheng was dumbfounded.

 

He could hardly believe it was true.

 

"Brother Li, quickly put away the things and don't let anyone see." Seeing Li Hengsheng in a daze, Lu Qiaoqiao quickly reminded him.

 

Seven thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. If anyone on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters found out, it would be a big deal.

 

Wealth and treasure will attract disaster.

 

"Oh, oh." Li Hengsheng also realized the problem and quickly looked around, then put away the silver tickets.

 

"Brother Li, there's also this." Lu Qiaoqiao quickly handed the iron token in her hand to Li Hengsheng.

 

"What is this?" Li Hengsheng looked at the object, not knowing what it was.

 

"I don't know either. It fell out of your package. It looks pretty though." Lu Qiaoqiao handed it over."I don't know what this thing is, but if Junior Sister Lu likes it, I'll give it to you," Li Hengsheng said with a smile.

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly teased, "Is this a token from Brother Li to me?"

 

"Huh?" Li Hengsheng was somewhat flustered. A token? Was it almost like a love token?

 

"I…" Li Hengsheng didn't know what to say for a moment, so he said, "What kind of token is this? It's just a piece of broken iron. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Hundred Treasures Peak and buy a beautiful jade pendant for you…"

 

Seeing Li Hengsheng's nervous look, Lu Qiaoqiao chuckled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

 

"Alright, Brother Li, I was just joking with you. Don't go buying things randomly. Focus on your cultivation and improving your strength. If Brother Li really wants to give me something, this iron plaque will do. I really like the pattern on it." Lu Qiaoqiao took the iron plaque and waved it in front of Li Hengsheng.

 

"I wonder if Brother Li is willing to part with it," Lu Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.

 

"If Junior Sister Lu likes it, then take it," Li Hengsheng quickly replied.

 

"Then thank you, Brother Li." Lu Qiaoqiao carefully put away the iron plaque. She didn't know what it was for, but she liked it because it was from Li Hengsheng.

 

"Junior Sister, I have to go deliver the firewood now," Li Hengsheng quickly got up and picked up the two bundles of firewood. If he delivered them late, he would be scolded by the other senior brothers.

 

"Alright, Brother Li, you should go quickly," Lu Qiaoqiao hurriedly said.

 

Meanwhile, on Dao Yuan Peak, the figure of Peak Master Mu Haifeng appeared. He had just returned to Dao Mountain Ancient Land and rushed to Dao Yuan Peak to see the Sect Master.

 

It was not only because of Li Changqing's matter, but also because he had discovered traces of Ghost Cultivation on his way back. This made Peak Master Mu Haifeng feel somewhat uneasy.
