“Transmit the order!”
His face was cold as he said, “Slay all demons encountered along the way, leave none alive, capture the Great Demon alive, and after Liangzhou is pacified, I will construct a high altar and refine the Great Demon to awe the demons of the world!”
“Let these demons know the fate that awaits those who dare invade the territory of the Dayu Divine Dynasty!”
As the royal army rushed to the scene, forces from other major states also hurried to Liangzhou, reinforcing the battlefield.
These forces consisted of scions of noble families, various Jianghu sects, and local armies from each state—learning of Liangzhou’s plight, reinforcements were sent from all directions.
However, with each major state spanning seventy to a hundred thousand miles of vast territory, unless the armies used certain secret military assets to hasten their march, reinforcement often took time.
By the time all the allied forces had arrived, the cleanup of the Liangzhou battlefield was almost at its end—the campaign from the demons’ initial attack to its conclusion took less than ten days in total.
What remained was the sweeping of demons lurking in various places within the territory. Some of these demons had fled to towns and other locations to hide, waiting for the commotion to die down before continuing to endanger the populace.
After all, with the defense line broken, it was unknown how many demons had poured in, and Liangzhou covered a large area that needed to be thoroughly examined.
“Old Seven, we’ve just interrogated a Bird Demon from Tianji Palace. Hao Er has drawn the three Demon Kings to Mo River, where your Fourth Uncle is stationed.”
In the Liangzhou Military Department, hope flared in Li Xuanli’s eyes as he said, “Perhaps, with Fourth Uncle’s help, Hao Er might not come to harm. Fourth Uncle does have considerable experience with Mo River.”
Li Tian Gang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “With Fourth Uncle there, there’s hope of escaping via Mo River. So, the Demon King is now guarding outside Mo River?”
“He’s gone in too.”
“In that case, this is valuable intelligence; we can catch the turtle in the jar!”
Li Tian Gang’s eyes started to glimmer faintly.
Li Xuanli nodded: “But the Candle Flame God is at a Half-step Taiping Dao Realm. To hunt him down, we’d have to ask Second Uncle to come over, and even that might not be enough. We still need the assistance of those few from the Divine General Mansion wielding the Sea-Calming Divine Needles. If we could get help from that old lady of the Xia Family…”
He paused, then shook his head—the old lady had been anchoring the Xia Family for many years and rarely left; it was unlikely that she would take action for this matter.
“Why not ask the Buddha Lord?” proposed Li Xuanli thoughtfully.
Li Tian Gang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “The Buddha Lord might not intervene; he might just send a Bodhisattva to make do. You should have seen clearly what happened in Liangzhou this time!”
Li Xuanli thought of Lin Wujing and certain rumors, nodding subtly:
“But the True Masters of the Gan Tao Palace are loath to leave their abode—surely we can’t let this rare opportunity slip by?”
“Let’s ask the imperial family to step in. With their call to arms, I’ve heard that Princes Jiang Yan and Jiang Chong have both arrived. Let’s discuss with them. If they can summon other powerful figures like the Sword Saint to unite in a siege and also call upon the commander of the imperial guards, the Candle Flame God is sure to die!”
A cold light flickered in Li Tian Gang’s eyes.
“Agreed.”
Li Xuanli nodded in response.
With the rebellion in Liangzhou quelled and peace restored, Prince Jiang Yan, in collaboration with the Liangzhou Army and the Divine General Mansion, constructed a high altar within the state and sacrificed nine Great Demons of the Three Immortal Realms to heaven.
This act was ostensibly to honor the souls of the Liangzhou populace, but in reality, it was intended to intimidate the demons.
The news spread rapidly, inciting even greater fear among the demons beyond the borders.
After the Demon Sacrifice Ritual concluded, messages were sent out to all corners.
…
At the Xia Family.
In a plain courtyard, an old lady was tending to the poultry, feeding chickens and ducks.
“Cluck, cluck.”
She took out a handful of rice and threw it in front of several chicklings, letting them peck at the grains.
The little yellow chick pecked at the rice demurely, savoring its meal with relish.
Suddenly, the gate to the small courtyard was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman in patched clothing walked in, holding a letter in her hand.
She appeared simple, with a gray wooden hairpin in her hair, yet beneath the coarse hemp sleeves, her skin was white as mutton fat, seemingly delicate enough to break at the slightest touch.
The elderly woman was sitting in a rocking chair, gently swaying, watching the little yellow chick peck at the rice in front of her with a benevolent expression on her face.
Only when the middle-aged woman came closer did she look up and naturally glanced at the letter in the other’s hand, her smiling face becoming slightly reserved.
“Madam, it’s a letter from the Li Family.”
The middle-aged woman spoke in a gentle and respectful tone.
The old woman reached out for the letter and read through it slowly. After a while, she gently closed the letter and murmured,
“Now that the country’s fortune is waning, these old fellows have started getting restless.”
“Madam, shall we go?”
The middle-aged woman cautiously whispered, “It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that Candle Flame God with the Dao Domain should not fall into the Mo River. Once he emerges, it’ll be an ideal time for the hunt.”
The old woman placed the letter behind the rocking chair and grabbed another handful of rice to throw to the little yellow chick at her feet:
“The Tianji Palace must have already shared this intelligence with other demon powers, right? Demons, although often at odds with each other, still understand the principle of mutual interdependence in survival.”
“The Ancient Demon Palace and the Great Void Realm don’t get along; they’ll likely not send reinforcements. But Gluttonous Valley, Dragon Gate, and the Holy Palace will all send people.”
“It’s both an opportunity and a trap.”
“This battle could well be bait for the demons.”
As she spoke, she gently kicked one of the little yellow chicks with her foot and chuckled, “Don’t be greedy and eat it all. Leave some for the others.”
The biggest little yellow chick was nudged aside, looking somewhat aggrieved and then huddled closer to the feet of the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman shifted her stance slightly before saying, “So Madam, do you mean that we should just observe the situation for now?”
“Let’s wait.”
The elderly woman said softly.
…
The Wang Family.
Within a palace-like hall, three figures were gathered.
“We’ve just received another letter from the Li Family; Liangzhou has been pacified.”
One of the figures, a burly man with a dignified face, spoke in a low voice, “Li Tian Gang had sent out the Eight Directions Orders asking for assistance earlier. Our Wang Family is too far away. By the time we sent help, it would have been over. Since we didn’t respond last time, if we don’t show some gesture now, we might be criticized.”
“Hmph, what of criticism? Such matters concerning demons are none of our business. Haven’t we already divided our forces among them? Isn’t that enough?” Another gaunt middle-aged man said coldly.
“Those are all things of the past; let’s not bring them up again.”
An elderly figure seated at the head of the group spoke in a low voice, “Grievances and grudges are all past smoke, untraceable.”
“The current situation under the Dayu Divine Dynasty is that the threat of demons is a minor issue. The problem with the Mo River is becoming more serious by the day.”
“Zhen Dong is currently striving for those ten thousand merit points, but it’s unclear what special changes will occur once he reaches the ten thousand.”
With a sigh, worry tinged his brows, yet he seemed to carry a hint of hope as well.
“There should be some changes. Over the years, our research and challenges regarding the Mo River show that the merit ranking is not simply an empty name or merely a title.”
The authoritative man on the right said, “An ancestor of our 98th generation broke ten thousand in merit, didn’t he? It’s recorded that he seemed to have received an extra chance to defy fate, and it was his thriving fortune that led to the flourishing of talents in our Wang Family over these years.”
“It’s a pity that no one but us believes this kind of thing,”
The thin middle-aged man snorted coldly, “They just think that our Wang Family is tricking people, luring them to help with false promises. These guys will never rise early unless there’s profit in it. Without any benefits driving them, even if the Mo River extends to their hometown, they would choose to move rather than solve the problem of the Mo River!”
“That’s just how people are; you can’t really blame anyone else,”
The elder shook his head slightly and said, “Unfortunately, ten thousand merits is too hard to obtain; it requires the destruction of a Youdu-level Mo River ten times. Only the Eastern Protector is in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, otherwise it would be impossible to complete.”
“Let’s talk about the Mo River in Liangzhou Dragon City first,”
The authoritative-faced middle-aged man said, “That Li Family young man lured those three Demon Kings into the Dragon City Mo River, probably planning to perish together with them in the river.”
“That section of the Mo River is extremely dangerous, more troublesome than other Youdu-level Mo Rivers—it could rank within the top ten of such rivers.”
“Li Xiaoran has the blood of the Li Family, a natural advantage, but even so, there hasn’t been much progress over the years. It’s uncertain if there will be any achievements this time.”
“Indeed, this is a rare opportunity to catch a turtle in a jar, to kill the sovereign of the Great Void Realm. The Great Void Realm will surely be severely wounded, falling from the top forces, allowing the Monster Suppression Department to dispatch people to clean up, easing the pressure on the border.”
“But other holy palaces and the Dragon Gate will most likely not sit idly by and may even anticipate our actions, leading to a major battle when the time comes,”
“What do you think, should we ask Uncle of the Eastern Protector to come out, or should we go ourselves? If the old matriarch of the Xia Family chooses not to intervene, we can withdraw in time,”
“I don’t think it’s worth it,”
The thin middle-aged man said, “It’s hard enough for Uncle Eastern Protector to clean up the Mo River, and on top of that, to run around for this kind of thing, isn’t it laughable? It was agreed back then that they would guard the border, and we would take care of the Mo River. Now they want us to manage their mess as well, isn’t that a joke?”
The authoritative man looked at the elder, who was silent for a while before finally saying,
“I’ll make a trip myself first, go there and see. Wait for Uncle Eastern Protector to emerge from the Mo River, let him rest before he comes over if necessary.”
“Uncle, are you really going?”
The thin middle-aged man was stunned and couldn’t help saying, “Our Wang Family is no longer involved with these demons. Over the years, they have been killing demons and making meritorious deeds, and although the Li Family has lost six sons in battle, at least they did their duty and earned a clear conscience! But who will remember those from our Wang Family who died in the Mo River? Even the Merit Board will erase their names; ask anyone in the world now, who remembers that the Wang Family is also part of the Divine General Mansion?”
“Who will help us clear the Mo River if we help them?”
The elder listened to his agitated speech, fell silent for a moment, then looked up at him and said,
“My journey is not about shouldering the responsibilities of the Wang Family, but about the conscience of a martial artist! Man and demons are inherent enemies; slaying demons and removing evils are the martial goals of our kind. If one possesses martial skills but lives a cowardly life in the marketplaces, what’s the point? The world may not know of the Wang Family’s merits, but heaven knows, earth knows, the Emperor knows, and the descendants of our Wang Family remember—that’s enough!”
The thin middle-aged man saw his resolute look, was taken aback, his lips trembling slightly, and in the end, he said no more.
…
…
In Dayu State, the holy capital, Yuzhou.
Within the majestic imperial palace, inside a deep courtyard.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, in a courtyard abloom with peach blossoms, two figures sat leisurely across from each other playing chess in a pavilion.
One was Emperor Yu, and the other wore luxurious Jiao robes. He looked about forty, but with a few strands of white hair at his temples.
On his waist placard was engraved the character “Qing,” and everyone in the imperial palace and even the entire Yuzhou knew that this only represented one identity—the Prince Qing, Jiang Qingshan.
In Jianghu outside the court, he had another name—the Green Mountain Taoist Master!
“Brother Emperor, you’ve won again,”
Jiang Qingshan watched as his own territory was dissected beyond redemption by the black stones, completely severing his lifeline, and he could only smile wryly as he conceded with a bow.
Emperor Yu chuckled, “It’s not fun to play chess if you keep letting me win.”
“I wouldn’t dare let you win, Brother Emperor. I have given it my all, yet skill is inferior to yours. I must practice more when I return,” Jiang Qingshan replied with a bitter smile.
Emperor Yu, pleased by the statement, couldn’t stop smiling as he said,
“Your chess skills indeed need improvement. I should find a better chess player to visit your residence to sharpen your skills. After so many years, you haven’t improved a bit, not even as good as a child.”
Jiang Qingshan was left speechless, and with a forced smile said, “Brother Emperor, now you’re making fun of me. My chess skills may not match yours, but I can hold my own against the little chess sage. How could I not be better than a child?”
Seeing his brother unconvinced, Emperor Yu laughed, but his smile faded as he thought of the carefree youth beneath the willow tree. He remained silent.
He put down the chess piece he was holding and said softly, “You already know about the situation in Liangzhou, what are your plans?”
Jiang Qingshan, seeing this, stopped fiddling with the chessboard, and seriously replied,
“Holy Palaces and the Dragon Gate, the Great Void Realm is attacking Liangzhou, and other demonic forces are also eager to move, eying the other states, preventing them from allocating too many resources elsewhere.”
“They aim to use Liangzhou as a breach, and once Liangzhou is secured, they plan to invade other states with the surge of the Aquatic Clan demons from the Wei River, and then rely on Liangzhou’s terrain, defensible by land and attackable by water forces. They are truly serious about taking action against our Dayu State!”
Emperor Yu nodded slightly and said, “You must also be aware of the situation behind them.”
Jiang Qingshan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded, “I heard that the Li Family lad lured the sovereign of the Great Void Realm into Dragon City Mo River. Now is an excellent opportunity to catch a turtle in a jar. Brother Emperor, did you summon me here to join the hunt?”
“I asked you to hunt, but the target isn’t Dragon City Mo River.”
Emperor Yu’s fingers lightly tapped on the chessboard, his gaze falling on a black piece that had dropped off the board, and he smiled, saying,
“Sometimes, the outcome of the game isn’t decided on the board, but rather outside of it.”
“That elder Lu Yuan from the Dragon Gate made his move, cooperating with the Candle Flame God in an attempt to take Liangzhou. According to secret reports from the front lines, the Candle Flame God hadn’t planned to make a move, but was forced to show himself because that child was too troublesome.”
“However, the master of Dragon Gate and many elders from the Sacred Palace didn’t participate in this battle.”
“Where do you think they all might be?”
Jiang Qingshan’s heart stirred, quickly coming up with an answer, yet he shook his head and said, “This younger brother is dull, please enlighten me, older brother.”
Emperor Yu spoke indifferently, “The older generation of the Li Family didn’t show themselves, which means they must have realized the issue. Besides wanting to encroach on Liangzhou, they also want to take advantage of the situation to make a big score and flatten the Divine General Mansion as well!”
“With three major forces making their moves, everything is out in the open. Luckily, the Li Family is smart and didn’t rashly leave.”
“Now that they are gathered in Qingzhou, it is exactly when their own territory is at its weakest—this is the perfect time to hunt!”
Jiang Qingshan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Older brother, are you suggesting that I go and eradicate their lair, pulling out their roots?”
“Northern Yan has been unchallenged for over a dozen years; the Sacred Palace should pay a price!”
Emperor Yu nodded slightly, looking at the vivid peach blossoms in the courtyard, “I have evergreen seasons here, but outside the courtyard, autumn has arrived.”
“It’s been many years since I hunted with you; I wonder how your hunting skills have held up. Have you regressed?”
Jiang Qingshan’s face showed a hint of a smile, “I am certainly no match for older brother, but if I hunt a mountain, I will make sure there isn’t a single survivor left!”
“Then I shall await your return for a drink!”
Emperor Yu laughed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingshan stood up, bowed respectfully, and formally accepted his command.
After seeing Jiang Qingshan off,
Chu Jiuyue walked slowly back to the pavilion, saw Emperor Yu still staring at the chessboard, lost in thought, and said,
“Your Majesty, are you thinking about that child?”
Emperor Yu’s gaze became focused, landing on him, “Do you think that the fate of our Dayu Divine Dynasty is truly declining?”
Chu Jiuyue’s face changed slightly, hurriedly saying, “Your Majesty, the Dayu Divine Dynasty is blessed by the former emperor and will surely prosper for eternity. How can there be any decline?”
“If it hasn’t declined, then why, over a decade ago, did the ninth son of the Li Family die young, with not even his bones left in foreign lands?”
“And why that child, at just fifteen, found himself in peril? They were both the future hope and backbone of our Dayu Divine Dynasty, but it seems as if the heavens are unwilling to give them time.”
Emperor Yu gazed into the distant blue sky outside the courtyard and murmured, “If only that child had another ten years—even just ten more years would have been enough.”
Chu Jiuyue fell silent for a moment. Chapter Your:
Thinking of the secret dispatches from Liangzhou, he knew these words were true.
At fifteen, reaching the Three Immortal Realms, and with cultivation so solid it was almost unimaginable, to slay the Demon King and even battle in the Ultimate Study Realm was truly incredible!
Such exceptional talent could be described as having the posture of a Saint without exaggeration.
Perhaps, it was for this reason that he managed to draw the attention of the master of the Great Void Realm, who abandoned the bigger picture on the battlefield to pursue him alone… Chu Jiuyue thought to himself.
“Your Majesty, about the situation at the Liangzhou Mo River…”
Emperor Yu fell silent for a long while before he finally said,
“Send for the ninth brother, have him go in person at any cost, and bring him back!”
Chu Jiuyue’s pupils contracted slightly. Was he actually planning to release that madman?
“Your Majesty, but if we do this…”
“Are you afraid?”
Emperor Yu looked at him dispassionately, his expression already calming, “If he comes out, I suppose the first stroke of his sword would strike me, but no matter, I can bear it for that child.”
“Your Majesty…”
Chu Jiuyue was shaken, never expecting Emperor Yu to make such a risky move.
The ninth prince… was not someone to be taken lightly!
In this vast imperial palace and the city beyond, to all the nobility and royalty, that existence was a topic shrouded in silence.
In those days, he was nearly a madman who nearly split the imperial city with a single stroke!
…
The battle of Liangzhou ended, with undercurrents stirring everywhere.
The royal army of five hundred thousand still stood guard in Liangzhou, waiting for the situation beyond the Mo River to unfold.
After consultation with two princes, Li Tian Gang joined forces with the Liangzhou Army, sending out two hundred thousand elite troops toward Dragon City Mo River.
They set up camp outside the Mo River, forming a military formation, ready to rescue Li Hao and Li Xiaoran whenever they emerged and also to counter the master of the Great Void Realm; striking the enemy would be a good outcome.
Although two hundred thousand troops wouldn’t harm the Dao Domain, it wasn’t just any army—many masters were hidden among them.
News of masters heading over or making excuses had already fallen into the hands of Li Tian Gang and others, therefore strategic arrangements were made in advance.
But as time passed,
no quarrel broke out outside the Mo River, instead, there was great upheaval in the Northern Yan Region.
Prince Qing led an army of a million and took the Sacred Palace, leveling the secret lands of its Sacred Mountain, destroying the gates, killing countless demons.
Now, the Sacred Palace’s treasured domain, its spirit springs cut off, its peaks ruined, has turned into a wasteland.
This news spread among the demons, and soon reached the ears of those gathered in Qingzhou.
“Dammit, that Green Mountain Taoist Master is vicious!”
“He actually led the charge himself. I heard the Palace Master of the Sacred Palace was seriously injured and managed to escape.”
“The other elders of the Sacred Palace have returned, but it’s probably too late.”
Hidden in a secret place in Qingzhou, there were many fierce figures, all elders from the Dragon Gate.
When the situation in Liangzhou turned around, some elders of the Sacred Palace realized that the ambush plan in Qingzhou was going to fail.
Once Liangzhou stabilizes, the old members of the Li Family will have no reason to leave the Divine General Mansion.
As a result, their ambush had become utterly meaningless.
However, no sooner had the elders of the Sacred Palace retreated than bad news from Northern Yan arrived.
No one expected that the Qing Mountain Master would seize this opportunity to not support Liangzhou, but instead turn his spear against the Sacred Palace’s stronghold!
The news of this battle was personally reported by the bird demon elder of Tianji Palace, and at this moment, the numerous elders of Dragon City, including the master of Dragon City, all felt surprised and angry.
At the same time, they were somewhat relieved.
Their defensive force left behind at the mountain gate and demon nest was even weaker, and if another prince were sent to encircle and suppress the enemy, they feared their own home might also suffer.
After some deliberation, they could only choose to retreat reluctantly.
The two old men of the Li Family had shut their doors and not come out; obviously, they had guessed their movements and knew that continuing the ambush would be fruitless.
“Contact the Sacred Palace, go to Mo River, there is no turning back now, we must rescue the Candle Flame God.”
“This waste, at Half-step Tao Realm, still can’t take down a little brat!”
“Has the Great Void Realm been avoiding the world for too many years, that he has even forgotten how to devour people?”
The numerous elders of Dragon City were full of complaints, their hearts filled with anger.
This time, not only had they failed to take down Liangzhou, but the Li Family of Qingzhou also remained unscathed; the plan was a complete failure.
And as the many pieces of intelligence from Tianji Palace were gathered and the overall situation reviewed, they realized that the failure of the plan was due to a variable, which was none other than the young general known as Haotian!
He came from the Li Family—again, the Li Family!
Not just Dragon City, but also the numerous Demon Kings of the Sacred Palace were filled with resentment.
…
Inside the Divine General Mansion.
Upon hearing the news that the stronghold of the Sacred Palace in Northern Yan had been uprooted, Li Muxiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He knew that his majesty would never let anyone down.
The Sacred Palace’s stronghold in Northern Yan had been wiped out, the Palace Master fighting alone, defeated by Prince Qing, with both sides unleashing the power of the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, having kept their strength profoundly hidden.
But Prince Qing proved to be even more skillful, defeating him, and with the sweeping advance of a million-strong elite royal army, the entire Sacred Mountain was flattened.
This battle could be said to have shaken the demon world, showing them that this aging lion still had the power to struggle and bite off the enemy’s neck!
“Those guys in Qingzhou must be scared by now.”
“Just wait a bit longer, a few more days, then I’ll quietly leave for Liangzhou.”
Li Muxiu went to the ancestral hall and explained his plan to Li Qingzheng: “You know the situation in Liangzhou; these guys definitely won’t be compliant and let us ambush the Candle Flame God, that would cause their alliance to fall apart.”
“But the Candle Flame God must die!”
A cold light flashed in Li Muxiu’s eyes, and he said: “Additionally, I have to go and bring back Hao Er and the fourth brother; otherwise, they might also be in danger.”
“But with the Candle Flame God at Half-step Tao Realm, can you stand against him?”
Li Qingzheng asked with concern.
Li Muxiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied: “Half-step Tao Realm, that’s all, isn’t it common!”
Li Qingzheng was slightly stunned, looking at him in astonishment, “You, you’ve also touched upon it?”
Li Muxiu nodded slightly, his expression suddenly turning somber, “It was an epiphany during one of those years spent Fishing with Hao Er, chatting idly, when you think about it, I should thank that boy…”
Li Qingzheng became somewhat excited, but when he mentioned Li Hao, thinking of the young boy who had sat with him playing chess in the courtyard for four or five years, he couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s a pity that Tiangang is too stubborn, that boy is also stubborn, but now that you’ve touched that step, it’s like finally catching up to big brother’s footsteps.”
“Big brother…”
Chapter Find:
Li Muxiu thought of his eldest brother, who had been ambushed and killed by the master of Dragon City and several Demon Kings during the battle of Dragon City, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
At that time, he had been traveling and pursuing the girl he had long yearned for.
When he heard the news, he came to his senses, returned to the Li Family, took over from the fourth, stood guard in the Listening Rain Tower, and cut off contact with that girl.
Although many had persuaded him that this matter had nothing to do with him, during the battle of Dragon City, Li Tianzong himself had led the troops to defend the city, others were not present, each stationed at their own places.
But Li Muxiu felt it wasn’t so.
He had always been out of favor with his father, had a casual temperament, and held no office.
Being unoccupied, he felt guilty, and this guilt had always taken root in his heart, unwilling to look back.
“I heard that Hao Er has reached the Immortal tier, and he can even contend with Demon Kings, I don’t know how he trains.”
Seeing the second brother’s forlorn and grieving eyes, Li Qingzheng quickly changed the subject, smiling, “Now that we’re bringing him back, there should be no need to compete with that little fellow Li Qianfeng anymore, we can directly acknowledge him as the True Dragon.”
“Tiangang shouldn’t have any objections either, after all, Hao Er’s martial achievements are witnessed by all after this battle; he ought to be made a marquis!”
Hearing his words, Li Muxiu came back to his senses, a flash of anger in his eyes as he coldly snorted,
“Naturally, his achievements are in no way inferior to little ninth’s of the past, Hao Er is only fifteen years old, being appointed a general and made a marquis, I want to see how Tiangang will still criticize his son, calling him unfit!”
“The past incident was a misunderstanding, and I don’t know why Tiangang was so impulsive back then, didn’t let Hao Er finish speaking, ah!” Li Qingzheng shook his head and sighed.
Li Muxiu’s gaze shifted slightly, murmuring, “Only, I don’t know if Hao Er will be willing to come back, willing to recognize me as his Second Uncle.”
Li Qingzheng glanced at him, recalling the solitary figure of the boy leaving the Divine General Mansion in the snowstorm, and fell silent for a moment.
…
As time passed.
After Liangzhou was pacified, everyone’s attention turned to the otherworldly Mo River.
