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

“As for now, who knows? It’s already been a few days since anyone has seen the two of them. I heard they eloped.”


“Woah!” There were gasps. In particular, the female disciples’ eyes lit up.

“Look, Zijian. It’s that Li Qingshan again. Hmm? You don’t look so good.” Hua Chenglu elbowed Yu Zijian.

Over two years had passed now. Hua Chenglu’s body had developed, going from a blooming girl to an adolescent maiden in the prime of her beauty. Her eyebrows were curved like the crescent moon, her lips were naturally red, and her skin was snow-white. Her youthful beauty was unmatched.

Her face that was quite similar to Hua Chengzan’s seemed to demonstrate just how beautiful it would be if Hua Chengzan’s face belonged to a woman. In the academy, she had already gained the title of the greatest beauty. She had countless pursuers. Just by sitting together with Yu Zijian, she attracted everyone’s attention.



Hua Chenglu was not unfamiliar with Li Qingshan’s name, but after two years of no contact, any special impression of him, even if she had one, had already faded with her colourful life. All she could vaguely remember was that he still owed her something, but perhaps he had already forgotten about it!

“Oh, nothing. The professor is here.” Yu Zijian snapped back to her senses and pointed at the podium.

The classroom immediately quietened down. Hua Chenglu turned around too, paying attention to class.

Yu Zijian frowned slightly. He shouldn’t be Niu Juxia, right?

After returning from the Green Vine mountain, Yu Shukuang had stated repeatedly that Li Qingshan had absolutely nothing to do with Niu Juxia, but only now was she willing to believe that. She let out a sigh of relief.

If Li Qingshan was not Niu Juxia, then this had nothing to do with her. She even felt rather sorry for him. They were clearly in love with one another, yet he could not gain the approval of her family. He sure was pitiful.





Chapter 391: Emerging from Secluded Cultivation | Legend of the Great Sage




In the depths of the bamboo forest, Xiao An sat on the step, leaning on her cheek as she waited.

The sky was covered by an array of stars. He still did not return tonight.

Because Liu Chuanfeng was in secluded cultivation, and Li Qingshan was regularly out, the two little disciples were with Sun Fubai. Cloudwisp island was truly empty now. All she could hear was the wind rustling through the bamboo forest. Fallen leaves covered the path once more.

Just as she felt rather depressed, she suddenly heard the sound of steps, trudging through the fallen leaves.

Xiao An raised her head and saw Li Qingshan’s smiling face as he strode over.

“Xiao An, why are you… Oh what did I do? I actually forgot to tell you! You’ve waited for quite some time now, haven’t you?” Li Qingshan smacked his head and blamed himself.

Xiao An shook her head. “Not too long.”

Li Qingshan picked her up and placed her on his knee. “How have you been going with forging prayer beads lately? Has One Thought been troubling you? Oh right, I came across something good recently.” Before Xiao An could answer him, he took off on a ramble.

Originally, Xiao An wanted to persuade him to reconsider something, but seeing this, she gave up on it. As long as he was happy.

At this moment, Han Qiongzhi had returned to the school of Legalism, asking for Wang Pushi to punish her.

Wang Pushi saw how she was brimming with joy, giving off a sense of femininity. He was unable to blame her. He just said, “That kid has had it easy. Don’t forget to visit the office tomorrow.”

“Yes, commander!”

Han Qiongzhi returned to her residence on the island, but she saw a figure pacing around outside. She exclaimed in surprise, “Tieyi!” She immediately grew stern. “Did father tell you to come?”

“Yes.” Han Tieyi said nothing more, handing a pile of spiritual stones and pills to her.

“Why’s there so much?”

“Because you’ve reached the tenth layer.” Han Tieyi was expressionless, but when he saw the happiness and joy in the corner of her eyes, he felt happy for her. In order to open the twelve ordinary meridians, her demand for pills would obviously increase.

“Father, he doesn’t… blame me?” Han Qiongzhi widened her eyes in some disbelief.

Then Han Tieyi repeated Han Anjun’s words to her.

“What kind of reason is that? Just because of this random reason, he’s preventing his daughter from getting married? That’s far too irresponsible of him! He even has the nerve to call himself what holds me back? That old man is completely overestimating himself! It’s not like I’m you!”

Han Qiongzhi said loudly, but she was rather touched inside. No matter what, everything that man had done was for her sake. It also brought her relief and indescribable happiness. No matter how unhappy she said she was with him, her father still bore a hefty weight in her heart.

The two of them spoke a little more. Han Tieyi had quite a fatherly bearing. He remained silent most of the time and did not say much before bidding her farewell.

Right before he left, Han Tieyi stopped and looked back. He added, “You’re still a person of the Han family. I hope you can place your focus on your cultivation in the future!”

“I don’t need you to lecture your elder sister. You better just keep an eye on yourself first. You should go!” Han Qiongzhi was eager to share this good news with Li Qingshan.

Han Tieyi could tell from a single glance that she was not listening, so he shook his head slightly. Once love became involved, people seemed to become stupid, just like that friend of his. Normally, he was so clever, but he was obsessed with an unattainable woman, wasting away his time and future.



After Han Tieyi left, Han Qiongzhi rushed straight to Cloudwisp island. Following a short parting, they immediately saw each other again. Xiao An took her leave on her own accord, and another night of entanglement followed.

The next day, Wang Pushi’s face was sunken. He had waited in the Hawkwolf Guard for quite a while, but Han Qiongzhi still did not come. He was absolutely furious. He decided to place this debt under Li Qingshan’s name. He completely deserved it.

In the end, he let out a long sigh. “Women are just unreliable. Little Hua, hurry up and emerge!”

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, spring was gone and autumn was already here. The endless autumn rain began.

There was a rumble of thunder in the seclusion dwellings below Contention island. Lightning criss-crossed and flashed, passing through the stone walls and formation that were originally impenetrable, like ghosts of another world.

Quite a while longer, the door that had remained shut for a very long time opened once more. Hua Chengzan emerged, and there was an additional hint of exceptional confidence on his handsome face. A figure appeared in his brain. At least I have the right to serve as your chess piece now, right?

……

“Did I really trouble miss Hua into delivering this in person?”

Li Qingshan accepted an invitation from Hua Chenglu and studied the woman in front of him. Women really did change quickly in physical appearance. When he first saw her, she was just an unpresentable little girl, but she had become a great beauty now.

“Both of you are good friends of my elder brother. I really must apologise over the fact that my elder brother couldn’t invite you in person,” Hua Chenglu replied courteously, giving off the air of a young miss of an influential family.

“Chenglu, why do I feel like you don’t speak as freely as before?” Han Qiongzhi grabbed her hands with a smile and pulled her in, pinching her tender cheeks.

Han Qiongzhi had always treated Hua Chenglu as her younger sister. The two of them had played together since young. They were on extremely good terms.
