“How can I help you break the siege if I don’t stir things up?” Li Changqing squatted down, took out a piece of meat bone from his Acceptance of Rings and threw it to Fei. Watching Fei enjoy his meal, he also patted Fei’s head.

Xue Qianbai walked into the pavilion and sat down, “Even if you didn’t make a move, Zhao Beiming wouldn’t be able to hold me back.”

“But I understand why you said Zhao Beiming is troublesome. He really can take a beating. My Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation couldn’t even scratch him.” Li Changqing also sighed.

“That’s because your Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation is not mature yet.” Xue Qianbai paused, “But you were able to comprehend the Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation in just one night. How did you do that?”

“That painting is no better than my carving.” Li Changqing laughed, “So I naturally understood it. The first time I used it, I was not very skilled, but after using it today, I think it’s quite good. The power of these seven swords is really impressive. If I had used seven ordinary swords today, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to repel Zhao Beiming.”

“But I’m afraid the title of Qinglian Sword Sovereign will soon spread throughout the world.” Xue Qianbai said, “Are you going to continue hiding your identity, or reveal it? I think either way is fine. You control the Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation and have the ability to protect the seven swords. You don’t have to worry about someone trying to steal your stuff.”

“I just want to be an ordinary person.” Li Changqing stood up, looked into the distance, and said with a smile, “A peaceful life, watching my son grow up safely, achieving his dreams, I am satisfied with such a life. Of course, I also understand that in this Cangyuan Realm, it is difficult to live such a life, especially for people like you and me.”

“But we can live one day at a time. Li Taibai, Qinglian Sword Sovereign, are just a title, an identity that helps me solve problems when I encounter them. My real identity is still Li Changqing, a priest in a small family called Yan in Changting Town.”

“When the time comes that I can no longer hide the identity of Qinglian Sword Sovereign, it will not be too late to talk about it. And I don’t want my son, Li Hengsheng, to know about my identity.” After Li Changqing finished speaking, he looked at Xue Qianbai.

“I hope you can help me keep this secret, Old Bai.”

“Why?” Xue Qianbai seemed a bit puzzled.

“I have my personal reasons. I don’t want him to know.” If someone else asked, Li Changqing might have used his usual excuses, such as not wanting Li Hengsheng to know how awesome his father is, which might lead to him losing his ambition or becoming a prodigal son.

But to Xue Qianbai, Li Changqing didn’t say that, he just said he had his own reasons.

“Alright.” Since Li Changqing said he had reasons, Xue Qianbai didn’t ask any more. Everyone has their own secrets.

After all, Xue Qianbai also has his own secrets.

“Please give this to Xu Muhai when you return to Dao Mountain Ancient Land, and then let Xu Muhai give it to my son.” Li Changqing handed the sixth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill to Xue Qianbai.

Xue Qianbai looked at the pill in his hand and said, “It’s rare to see a father who makes so many sacrifices for his son.” Along the way, Xue Qianbai of course knew how much Li Changqing had gone through.

Longevity Sect, black market, North Cold Country. He ventured out just for this pill.

“You wouldn’t understand because you’re not a father yet.” Li Changqing laughed, “If it were someone you loved, you would do the same. Although I don’t know much about it, I know that there must be someone you deeply love in your heart, Old Bai. What’s her name?” Xue Qianbai didn’t admit it when he heard this, but he didn’t deny it either.

Indeed, there was someone Xue Qianbai liked in his heart, but he didn’t dare to tell anyone. Very few people knew about it.

Because he was afraid that the person in his heart would become his weakness. He was also afraid of bringing danger to her.

Seeing that Xue Qianbai didn’t speak, Li Changqing didn’t continue to ask.

“I’m going back to Changting Town. Do you want a ride?” Li Changqing pointed at the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.

“No need.” Xue Qianbai shook his head, “I have my own way to get back.”

“Then I’ll leave the matter of the pill to you.” Li Changqing said, and then mounted the Golden Silk Linlang Beast and flew away.

Seeing that Li Changqing was about to leave, Xue Qianbai suddenly said to him, “Her name is Qinyang.” Li Changqing, who was already flying on the Golden Silk Linlang Beast, didn’t look back, he just said, “The name sounds nice.” After that, his figure disappeared into the horizon.

Xue Qianbai stood on the edge of the cliff looking into the distance, standing there for a long time. In the end, Xue Qianbai whistled, and a large white eagle flew down from the sky and landed next to Xue Qianbai.

“Let’s go.” Xue Qianbai stepped onto the eagle, and as the eagle flapped its wings, he too disappeared into the sky.

After two days of flying, Li Changqing finally returned to the Yan family in Changting Town.

“Sir, you’re back.” Seeing Li Changqing return, Zhang Fuguang came over with a smile, “Was your trip smooth, sir?”

“Smooth.” Li Changqing nodded, “Nothing happened at home recently, right?”

“Don’t worry, sir, everything is fine at home.” Zhang Fuguang said, then asked, “Have you eaten, sir? I’ll bring you some food.”

“Okay, thank you.” Li Changqing had indeed eaten something in the morning, then flew straight back without eating anything else.

The food and sleep outside were not good, Li Changqing really missed his bed at home. After eating, Li Changqing went to rest early.

He had been out for a few days, and although there were no dangers, he had encountered quite a few things. Li Changqing did feel a bit tired.

He quickly fell asleep. However, not long after he fell asleep, Li Changqing heard someone calling his name softly.

“Lu Qiaoqiao?” Li Changqing suddenly realized that the voice was Lu Qiaoqiao’s. It had been a long time since Lu Qiaoqiao had come.

So Li Changqing came to his Divine Soul lake, and at a glance, he saw Lu Qiaoqiao waiting for him on the other side of the lake.”Qiaoqiao, it’s been a while,” Li Changqing greeted.

“Yes, I’ve been busy with some matters recently, so I haven’t been able to visit. But I started looking for you the day before yesterday. I couldn’t find any trace of you in Minghong Prefecture yesterday either. I was worried something might have happened to you. I’m relieved to see you safe and sound today,” Lu Qiaoqiao sighed in relief.

“I went out for a bit,” Li Changqing explained, “Hengsheng is on the verge of breaking through to the Postnatal Realm, but he lacks a fifth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, so I went out to find one for him.”

“Fifth-grade?” Lu Qiaoqiao showed a surprised expression, “Such a thing is quite rare.”

“Fortunately, I found one,” Li Changqing said with a smile.

“Did Brother Li write a letter to you about it?” Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Li Changqing was taken aback, “Is there a problem?”

“Not really, I might be overthinking,” Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head, but her words made Li Changqing suspicious. He quickly asked, “Tell me what you think, just as a casual chat. What do you think is wrong?”

“Actually, it’s nothing. I just feel that this might not be in line with Brother Li’s usual behavior,” Lu Qiaoqiao pondered, “The Brother Li I know wouldn’t mention such a thing in a letter. If he did, you would definitely worry. But for you, obtaining a fifth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill is as difficult as climbing to the heavens. Why would Brother Li add to your worries?”

“Previously, you made quite a bit of money and gave it to Brother Li. Perhaps he knew you had some financial capability. But a fifth-grade pill is extremely rare. In Brother Li’s mind, you shouldn’t be able to get it. Aren’t you afraid that if you manage to get the pill for Brother Li, he will become suspicious?” Lu Qiaoqiao’s words made Li Changqing fall into deep thought.

Indeed. He had been so worried about his son’s breakthrough that he had forgotten his son was very filial.

So, mentioning such a thing in the letter was indeed strange. In the past, how many children suffered hardships outside and only reported good news to their families, fearing that their families would worry about them.

Li Hengsheng was a very filial son, which was evident from various signs. However, this time, complaining about not being able to find a fifth-grade pill for his breakthrough was indeed strange.

“I didn’t give it to him personally. I had Xu Muhai give it to him,” Li Changqing told Lu Qiaoqiao. Lu Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment, then guessed, “Brother Li is very smart. From what you and I have discussed about Brother Li’s recent situation, compared to the past, Brother Li has been having a very smooth time recently. You have helped him a lot behind the scenes, and Brother Li seems to have everything he wants, like a fish in water.”

“This sudden request for a fifth-grade pill is indeed suspicious,” Lu Qiaoqiao analyzed. But after saying this, Lu Qiaoqiao seemed to feel that her words were inappropriate and quickly panicked, “Senior, I’m just talking nonsense and making wild guesses. I don’t mean to sow discord between you and your son.”

“Don’t worry, I understand what you mean,” Li Changqing quickly reassured Lu Qiaoqiao. But at the same time, Li Changqing was also alerted.

There must be a demon when things go wrong! A fifth-grade pill. It should be another test from Li Hengsheng. He fell for it again.

He was still not cautious enough about his son. Did this little guy use all his cleverness to deal with his old man?

But it was too late for this matter because the pill had already been given out.

“By the way, Senior Li, I recently obtained some information about the Longevity Sect. I came to share it with you,” Lu Qiaoqiao’s tone became serious.

“Go ahead,” Hearing that it was about the Longevity Sect, Li Changqing also became serious.

“The Long Night Ancient Nation also attaches great importance to the Longevity Sect. I learned a little from the information of the Long Night Ancient Nation, although not much.”

“The Longevity Sect is looking for a so-called key. We don’t know what this key is for at the moment. But within the Longevity Sect, there is an internal bounty. There are many people on the bounty list, and the Longevity Sect seems to be planning to capture these people.”

“However, we don’t know exactly who is on the bounty list yet. I only know about four people at the moment.”

“Who?” Li Changqing asked.

“Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Xue Qianbai, the deputy head of Dao Mountain Ancient Land,” Lu Qiaoqiao said.

“Ah, I already know about that,” Li Changqing nodded. After all, the people who came to bounty Xue Qianbai had already been killed by Xue Qianbai.

“Medical King Valley, Yin Changli, I’m not very familiar with this name,” Lu Qiaoqiao murmured. As soon as the second name came out, Li Changqing’s expression changed.

Yin Changli? That little guy is also on the bounty list? Why? His strength is only at the Postnatal Realm, right?

“The third person. North Cold Country, Zhao Beiming,” Lu Qiaoqiao said the third name.

“Zhao Beiming?” Li Changqing didn’t expect that guy to be on the bounty list as well. But it seemed a bit difficult for the Longevity Sect to deal with Zhao Beiming?

That guy’s turtle shell could even block his Seven Kills Green Lotus Sword Formation. The Longevity Sect looking for trouble with Zhao Beiming without full preparation was impossible.

“The last person is one of the palace masters of the Ghost Clan’s Destiny Hall, Ming Bantu. These are the only four people I know of.”

“Do these four people have any connection?” Li Changqing asked.

“It doesn’t seem like it,” Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head, “The Long Night Ancient Nation also doesn’t think these four people have any connection.” Li Changqing was puzzled.

After chatting with Lu Qiaoqiao for a while, Lu Qiaoqiao asked Li Changqing to write a letter to Li Hengsheng. Then, she left at dawn.

The sun shone on Dao Mountain Ancient Land. A new day began. The disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land also got up to cultivate, and Xue Qianbai finally returned to Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

After returning, Xue Qianbai first went to find Xu Muhai at Mu Haifeng, planning to give the pill that Li Changqing had given him to Xu Muhai to pass on to Li Hengsheng.Upon arriving at Mu Haifeng’s place, Xue Qianbai found it empty. Xu Muhai was not in the sect, he had reportedly gone to Tianhai City.

This put Xue Qianbai in a difficult position. Since Xu Muhai was not around, and Li Hengsheng was anxiously waiting for a breakthrough, what was he to do?

“I really owe you one.” With a helpless sigh, Xue Qianbai turned around and headed towards Qingyu Mountain.

Since Xu Muhai was not around, he would have to do it himself. Standing outside Li Hengsheng’s mansion, Xue Qianbai pondered for a long time about what excuse he should use to give the pill to Li Hengsheng.

He was not Li Hengsheng’s master, giving him the pill rashly would only make Li Hengsheng feel awkward, wouldn’t it? Moreover, Li Changqing did not allow Xue Qianbai to reveal his identity, which put Xue Qianbai in a difficult position.

While he was thinking, the door suddenly creaked open. Li Hengsheng was about to go out, but was surprised to see Xue Qianbai standing outside.

“Um… Are you the Vice Sect Leader?” Seeing Xue Qianbai, Li Hengsheng didn’t recognize him, but he immediately noticed the Qianxue Sword at Xue Qianbai’s waist.

He had seen the image of the Qianxue Sword in the Floating Image Pavilion before, so he recognized it at a glance.

Li Hengsheng was very surprised. He never expected to see Xue Qianbai on Qingyu Mountain.

“It’s me.” Xue Qianbai glanced at Li Hengsheng. Was this the son of Li Changqing?

Was his aptitude too poor? Could such aptitude really make him the number one on the Mortal Realm List? Although his aptitude was poor, the surging blood and qi within him were not fake.

“Greetings, Vice Sect Leader.” Li Hengsheng quickly saluted.

“No need for formalities.” Xue Qianbai nodded.

“What brings the Vice Sect Leader here?” Li Hengsheng asked, still somewhat surprised.

“Well…” Xue Qianbai frowned deeply. What was he doing here? He hadn’t figured it out yet.

What to do?

“I’m thirsty. I was passing by and came to ask for a drink of water.” Finally, Xue Qianbai thought of an excuse that he felt was perfect.
