Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 301-Chapter 400)

“Just gaining you is enough. I don’t care about the others.”


“Hmph, what a boast. Those who are ignorant would even think you’ve established a foundation already.” Han Qiongzhi glanced at him, but she liked his confidence and arrogance the most. Compared to those suitors who wanted to climb on board with the Han family, she much preferred a valiant man like him.

“I suddenly feel a little nervous.” Li Qingshan took out his gift from his hundred treasures pouch and breathed out.

Han Qiongzhi had prepared the gift. It suited old father-in-law Han’s tastes. It was neither too little or too much, just perfect. It led to some more teasing from Li Qingshan about how eager she was, but he was truly grateful for this.



“You’re a person who gets nervous?” Han Qiongzhi became rather curious.

“It’s all your fault. Qiongzhi, what if your father refuses?” This was not a random thought of his. Instead, Li Qingshan had a premonition. The complicated information in the turtle shell had indicated some kind of omen that this would not go as smoothly as he imagined.

“He won’t refuse you.” Han Qiongzhi was filled with confidence. There was no reason for Han Anjun to be dissatisfied with him. Over all these years, she had never seen her father be so satisfied with anyone. Even if he was considering for the Han family, he would still agree to it!

“What if he actually refuses?” Li Qingshan teased.

“If he actually refuses, we’ll elope.” Han Qiongzhi looked at Li Qingshan with a burning gaze. This passion scorched like fire. It was unstoppable.

“You better be careful about being used and then abandoned.” Li Qingshan’s heart had melted. Just who could abandon a girl like her?

“Then make sure you perish with me!” Han Qiongzhi shot a glare at him.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

At this moment, the alarm bell went off and gongs filled the air. The entire Han family was alarmed and mobilised.

Li Qingshan was surprised. “What’s going on?”

“There’s an invading enemy!” Han Qiongzhi was not surprised at all, just vexed and powerless.

In the Han family, these drills happened often. The members of the Han family would be on the defence, while the army of the Han family under Han Anjun would attack. She was familiar with this, except she never expected it to happen tonight.

“Don’t tell me I’m the enemy!” Li Qingshan pointed at himself. He already knew that his future father-in-law, Han Anjun, was a standard battle freak. Was he testing his future son-in-law with this?

……

Within the inner estate of the Han family, Han Anjun was clad in armour as he held his sword, seated in the main hall; it was like he was about to confront an enemy.

Today was different from the standard drill. Valiant guards stood sternly to the two sides. All of their faces were hidden within their helmets as they stared straight ahead. They were not regular members of the Han family. Instead, they were known as the real army of the Han family. They had once suppressed daemons and otherfolk and subdued heretic cultivation sects under Han Anjun’s lead. Every single one of them was battle-worn. Just by standing there, a feeling of bleakness rushed into the air.

This time, Han Anjun had actually mobilised both the members of the Han family and the army of the Han family for Li Qingshan.

Han Tieyi wielded a spear as he stood in shining, silver armour, which accentuated his handsomeness and soldierly bearing.

“Under my orders, even if you have to die, stop him.” Han Anjun said sternly, as if the thing about to rush in was not his son-in-law, but an actual army.

“Yes, sir!” Han Tieyi accepted the orders and led the soldiers away.

The clacking of boots against the ground and the jingling of armour rang out together. In a uniform formation, they turned into a river of steel and surged out.

……

“No, it’s us.” Han Qiongzhi held his hand.

Li Qingshan realised it too and held her hand firmly. From today onwards, there would be someone else who would be fighting beside him.

The doors swung open loudly. Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi exchanged glances before advancing forward together.



In the turrets, groups of archers drew their bows to the maximum.

Inside the doors, a group of soldiers wielded spears and dagger-axes, standing in formation.

A total of four specks of light lit up in the eyes of the two white, jade tigers. They moved their bodies and stood up from stone platforms. Standing at six meters tall, they were extremely imposing. They let out a roar at the sky and lunged over.

“Can I throw the gift away?” Li Qingshan gazed at the lunging tigers and turned his head slightly, asking Han Qiongzhi softly. A damned father-in-law like him was not worthy of a gift from him.

“No.”

“Fine then!”





Chapter 387: Paying Respects to the Father-in-law (Two) | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan passed by the two white tigers with a clash.

The white tigers did not slow down, now targeting Han Qiongzhi. There were not living creatures, so they had no concept of enemies. Once they were activated, they would rip apart everything in front of them.

Han Qiongzhi prepared a technique. She did not even look at the incoming tigers. Just as the fierce gale had ruffled her hair and the claws had arrived before her, they came to a screeching halt.

Li Qingshan extended both hands, grabbing the two tigers by the tail. The white tigers growled and swung their claws around, but they were unable to advance another inch forward. They turned around and lunged at Li Qingshan instead.

With an explosive bellow, Li Qingshan began to spin like a spinning top, pulling the tails until they were taut. He actually tossed the two white jade tigers that weighed as much as a thousand tonnes into the air, over a hundred meters away. With a rumble, they formed two deep craters.

“What strength!” “No wonder he’s bold enough to propose marriage to the Han family!”

This move of his startled all the members of the Han family above the archway. They all took action in a hurry, unleashing a flurry of arrows.

Thrum! Thrum! Thrum! Thrum! Thrum! The sound of released bows were enough to pierce rock.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! The arrows formed a dark cloud.

“Bird of Flames!” Han Qiongzhi called out.

Li Qingshan’s vision dimmed before lighting up again. A bird of fire took off into the air, unfurling its thirty-meter-long wings of flames and smashing through the dark cloud. It rushed up the archway and erupted with fire with a great boom, forcing back the archers and throwing the army into disarray.

“That’s your home, for heaven’s sake.” Li Qingshan glanced back.

“Hmph, I’d rather go without a home like this!”

Under the gloomy archway, almost a hundred armoured soldiers stood in formation with dagger-axes, radiating with murderousness.

“They’re here! On guard!”

An eighth layer Qi Practitioner, an old man with a downwards slanting mustache, bellowed out thunderously. The dagger-axes drooped down, pointing straight ahead.

Two figures, Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi, walked in slowly, just like lovers on a stroll. They even muttered among themselves.

“Is he really just the gatekeeper?” Li Qingshan gazed at the battle formation in slight amazement. By gatekeeper, it referred to the person who watched the entrance of the estate. He had never seen such a mighty gatekeeper before with such a high cultivation.

“We normally call it the gatekeeping army. There are a total of eight divisions, guarding the eight gates. The commander is the hundred-man commander of the gate.” Han Qiongzhi explained with a smile.
