“Hiss...ouch.”
“My lady, did you prick your hand?” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Old Li quickly moved to his wife’s side, took the mandarin duck quilt from her hand, and sucked her finger where a bead of blood had appeared.
“I’ve been feeling restless ever since a while ago.” Gu Xueqin massaged her forehead and took a deep breath.
“Are you too busy lately?”
“Not busy.”
“Then it’s not... again...”
Li Dalong suddenly became serious, but after being glared at by his wife, he lightly coughed and became proper.
“Are you worried about our son?”
“Yes, Dijin is so big, the water is so deep, and the Heavenly Human Trial is so dangerous. I don’t know if he’s eating well, sleeping well, or how things are with Little Binger...”
Seeing his wife truly worried, Li Dalong had no good solution.
As # Nоvеlight # a county magistrate, he didn't even know what was happening in Dijin, let alone do anything about it. He could only comfort her while suggesting they go out for a walk to clear their minds.
However, as soon as they stepped onto the street, they saw a group of people from Hengyun Sword City.
As the county Lieutenant , he knew these swordsmen held extremely high positions in Sword City. They were all dressed in Elder robes, especially the white-haired young man whose cuffs were embroidered with a jade sword.
This signified the Seventh Realm.
“Sirs, please wait!” Li Dalong stepped forward and bowed.
The white-haired young man’s gaze swept across Li Dalong’s Face, looking at the slightly familiar brows and eyes: freewebnøvel.coɱ
“Are you Li Shaoxia’s kin?”
“Li Mo is my son. I would like to ask you great heroes for some guidance.”
“You wish to inquire about Li Shaoxia’s current situation, I presume.”
The white-haired young man sighed: “He is now gravely injured, his life hanging by a thread. We are on our way to act as Protectors.”
As he spoke, the other Elders from Sword City also nodded slightly.
Li Dalong was stunned. It was as if thunder rumbled in his ears, and the sky had almost fallen.
He, who was always vigorous and energetic, nearly lost his footing.
But he couldn’t fall, because Gu Xueqin had already lost her balance, almost fainting, her Face as pale as paper, her eyes unfocused.
The couple was still waiting for their son and Little Binger to return home together in glory.
Even the quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in water was already made... “You two don’t need to be too anxious. Qingyuan Sect is using all its power. I don’t know what their ultimate trump card is, but they must have considerable confidence, otherwise they wouldn’t have invited us to come.”
The white-haired Elder Xu spoke to comfort them:
“Li Shaoxia is a righteous person. Good people are blessed by heaven; he will be fine.”
“Yes, yes, yes, he will be fine!”
Li Dalong clutched at this like a life-saving straw, not knowing who he was trying to encourage.
“Senior, would it be convenient to take us along?” Gu Xueqin refused her husband’s support, barely steadying herself.
“There’s naturally no reason why it wouldn’t be convenient.”
Elder Xu was already passing through Qinghe County and was debating whether to send a message to Li Mo’s family.
He waved his hand and took out a cloud boat from a sumaru object.
“Please.”
The cloud boat ascended into the sky. It was the first time the couple experienced the sensation of soaring into the blue, with the vast land beneath their feet. The streaks of sword light, moving through the air, were all existences that ordinary people would exclaim were Sword Immortals upon seeing them.
But the two had no mind for appreciation; their gaze was always fixed on the distant horizon, as if their hearts had already flown there.
The cloud boat’s speed was extremely fast.
In less than half a day, they could already see the outline of Qingyuan.
It was the height of summer, and the forest sea swayed, stirring up waves of vitality. But for some reason, no cicada chirping could be heard. The cicadas, perhaps startled by something, dared not make a sound.
Qunyu Peak, once just ruins, now had temporary dwellings built, and it was overflowing with people.
Erm, not necessarily people.
Seeing the couple somewhat bewildered, Elder Xu smiled and took the initiative to explain:
“Li Shaoxia’s Face now is no less than that of my Hengyun Sword City. These are all people who heard the news and came to act as Protectors.”
“From ordinary peddlers and porters to the Seventh Realm, as noble as the Zhennan King, and as far as the Yao Race of the Southern Border.”
“Don’t think Qingyuan Sect is still just a prefecture-level force; if Li Shaoxia were to raise his arm and shout, even the Prefect would tremble.”
Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin exchanged glances, feeling both relieved and guilty.
Qianlong Ranking Top, when they first heard it, it didn’t feel real.
But now, they suddenly realized that their son had unknowingly gone so far... After landing, he thanked Elder Xu and went to find his teacher first.
Xue Jing’s medical skills were extraordinary; he should be the most knowledgeable about his son’s current condition... Main Hall.
Upon entering, the hall was filled either with transformed great Yao, Yao Kings, or renowned Jianghu powerhouses, each exuding an aura as profound as an abyss or a prison.
It was a gathering of villains, truly.
“Hey, does this count as an illegal assembly?” asked the Giant Whale Clan Chief.
Manbo thought for a moment, then nodded: “Great ~ Yu ~ Law ~ it should ~ ~ count ~ ~”
“What illegal assembly? We are here to observe Li Shaoxia’s breakthrough, to witness the ceremony.”
Next to Wu Qing, a middle-aged man whose appearance was similar to Murong Xiao’s said.
Murong Feng loved acting heroically in his youth, so he had a slight understanding of criminal law.
For example, sparring and brawling are essentially the same thing, but one leads to jail, the other doesn’t.
“What method does Qingyuan Sect have to seize the creation of heaven and earth? I wonder how confident they are?”
Wu Qing frowned.
Not far away.
Several Elders from Hengyun Sword City also entered the main hall, greeted everyone, and inevitably exchanged a few pleasantries.
Speaking of the Face Fruit, Sword City, which possessed the Hengyun Sword... er, Hammer Scar, was also not bad.
“I just returned from Dijin. Tianshan Sword Manor has already selected the contemporary Sword Jia.”
“Oh?”
Several Elders from Sword City perked up their ears.
It was well known that among martial artists, swordsmen cared most about Face, and among swordsmen, Hengyun Sword City cared most about Face.
Every year when the Sword Jia was announced, Hengyun Sword City paid close attention, as they used to be the Holy Land of the Dao of Sword, and they were the ones who selected the Sword Jia.
If Tianshan Sword Manor didn’t choose well, they would certainly offer their criticisms.
“The competition for this year’s Sword Jia was quite fierce. The candidates were all unparalleled masters.”
“Is it Ying Bing? I heard she made the Sword Manor’s Manor Lord feel inferior.”
“Is it Fairy Tantai of Penglai? I heard her Sword Heart has advanced further.”
“North Seal Sword King? He’s just not well-known, but he’s the sole heir of a reclusive Legacy...”
“Our Elder Xu’s Realm is a bit lower, but he also...”
“Holy crap, Liqun Sword Hero?!”
The Elders of Sword City leaned back slightly, their minds involuntarily recalling the recent past, a certain young man who had turned the Hengyun Sword Scar into the shape of a hammer.
Splash—
Turning his head, Elder Xu, who had just been calmly drinking tea, for some reason didn’t sit steadily and fell under the table.
The hot tea spilled all over his crotch.
