“You’re welcome to try out this pill. It might allow you to undergo the heavenly tribulation.” Li Qingshan took out a True Spirit pill from his hundred treasures pouch and placed it in Ye Liubo’s palm. Although he had no idea just how effective pills refined by humans would be on Night Roaming folk, they were still technically “people” after all, so it should have some effect.
Apart from increasing his cultivation, he could not go without a few capable subordinates either. The mirror clone was nice, but it could not cover every aspect he required. If Ye Liubo could undergo the heavenly tribulation, then she could take care of the trade underground. He would not have to worry about it himself.
Ye Liusu’s gaze was drawn away by the True Spirit pill’s lustre. She was amazed. There’s actually such a wondrous pill in the world!
Ye Liubo had already become touched to the bottom of her heart. She could understand the value of the pill even if no one told her.
“What’s wrong?” Li Qingshan saw the rims of Ye Liubo’s eyes redden. He was rather surprised.
“No one has ever treated me so nicely in my entire life. I won’t let you down, master!”
Li Qingshan became rather embarrassed. Most of the time, the main thing he considered were still his own interests and benefits. Though, there were no relationships in the world that completely neglected personal interest after all. Even if they did exist, they were fragile.
People would be bound to one another because of each other’s needs, and they would abandon this tie when there was no need to maintain it anymore. This had always been how the world worked.
He did not want to be a master who only considered for his servants, but a master trusted and required by his servants. As a result, he accepted her loyalty calmly.
Chapter 382: Meeting Niu Juxia Again? | Legend of the Great Sage
Taken away by her emotions, Ye Liubo tried to kiss him again, but Li Qingshan blocked her with his hand. He smiled. “It’ll be up to your performance then.”
Xiao An was currently staring at them in great interest. He could not lead children astray after all.
Returning to the surface, the sunlight was blinding.
“Xiao An, how did your forging go?”
“I only forged a single prayer bead.” Xiao An counted the five prayer beads in the centre of her hand.
“That’s fine. Take it slowly.”
Li Qingshan rubbed her long, seaweed-like hair. Xiao An raised her head, and her dark pupils reflected his ordinary appearance.
Li Qingshan rubbed his cheek. Ah, the life of a handsome man is no different from dreaming!
……
“Where have you been during this time? What were you doing?”
On the highest floor in the Hawkwolf Guard of Clear River city, the floor-to-ceiling windows flooded the entire room with sunlight, but Wang Pushi, who sat in the high-back chair, remained as cold-faced and stern as ever. He studied Li Qingshan before him. He was unable to imagine what extraordinary aspect of him could earn him such a special appraisal from Gu Yanying.
Because he was a genius? She had seen even more geniuses like this than stray mutts on the streets. This might have been possible with Xiao An, but not him. Though, he did indeed grow by quite a lot in just two years. Just by standing there, he actually possessed an indescribable sense of level-headedness and calmness.
“Completing missions obviously,” Li Qingshan said it like it was as clear as day.
“And these are all the missions you completed?” Wang Pushi patted the thin stack of mission documents on his desk.
Li Qingshan originally planned on finishing off all the missions he had accepted after dealing with the matters underground, but he had been summoned back in such a hurry, so he had obviously completed very few missions.
“I was collecting material too.” Li Qingshan had a moment of inspiration.
“Collecting material?”
“I’m a novelist after all.” Li Qingshan stared straight ahead sternly.
“Fuck your novels! You’re a Hawkwolf guard!”
“Commander, even you can’t look down on the school of Novels! Heh!” Li Qingshan had remembered the shoddy excuse Liu Chuanfeng had used the first time he met him.
“What’re you laughing about? Right now, I don’t care which school you’re from. Go complete this mission for me.” Wang Pushi took out the documents for a mission from his drawer and tossed it onto the table before Li Qingshan.
“The Green Vine mountain under attack”, “Two sect masters slain” and “Revenge from an underground daemon” leapt out at him immediately, catching Li Qingshan’s attention.
Just as he had expected!
He flipped through it page by page; the document contained an extremely detailed introduction to everything that had to do with the incident. When he reached the last page, it was the painting that Chu Danqing had drawn, and it sucked away all his attention immediately.
“That’s right. The one behind this case is this daemon. It’s a Daemon General, and it should have undergone the heavenly tribulation recently. According to the analysis, it might not have transformed from a regular beast. It’s very likely to be a hybrid offspring of powerful daemons.” Wang Pushi noticed Li Qingshan’s unnatural expression, but he misunderstood Li Qingshan’s thoughts.
Heh, I sure am fucking handsome!
The corner of Li Qingshan’s lips twitched as he held back his smile. He said sternly, “I can’t handle such a powerful daemon with my cultivation. Why do you say it’s a hybrid offspring?”
“Just from some investigations. Little Hua had once seen his true form, and he put it in the records. His true form possesses the horns of an ox and the tail of a tiger, and it’s basically humanoid as well. It’s very likely to be the offspring of an ox and tiger daemon.”
What an exceptional analysis! Li Qingshan clapped inside. Afterwards, he shoved the documents into his hundred treasures pouch. He was investigating his own murderer case. It felt like a detective show. Would the police be revealed as the actual murderer in the end?
“Yes, sir. I’ll go immediately.”
“Hold on!” Wang Pushi leaned back in his chair, but he suddenly remembered what Gu Yanying had asked him for, so he stopped Li Qingshan. “Don’t forget to write a report.”
“A report? Why do I have to write a report?” Li Qingshan looked back in surprise.
“It’s an investigation mission, not a holiday, so of course you have to write a report.”
“Alright, understood.” Li Qingshan had no other choice but to accept that. He could just write something half-assed and pass it off as completed when the time came.
“Include your own thoughts. Make sure it’s no less than ten thousand characters!” Wang Pushi added. Since Gu Yanying had asked for this, it had to be completed with one hundred percent effort even if he had no idea what she was getting at.
It was not like he had to complete the mission anyway.
Bang! Li Qingshan turned around with a flash and slammed the desk. “Commander Wang, you’re not joking with me, are you? What kind of report needs to be so long?!”
“You’re a novelist, aren’t you?”
“Uhh… so what if I am?”
“If you are, then piss off and get writing! I won’t spare you even if you’re off by a single character!” Wang Pushi surged with coldness.
Bang! Li Qingshan slammed into the wall in the corridor, and the door closed in front of him.
Li Qingshan exhaled. Novelists are still people. Are you trying to kill me by getting me to write ten thousand characters?
At this moment, two familiar figures appeared in front of Li Qingshan, staring at him in surprise.
“You’re… Diao Fei, and great hero Yu!” Li Qingshan blinked his eyes and saw them clearly. They were actually two acquaintances he had not seen in quite some time.
“Q- Qingshan, I was ordered to go on the investigation with you.” As the first senior brother of Green Vine mountain, Diao Fei would obviously be involved in this case.
