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

The other supporting Hawkwolf Guard character, wait no, Han Qiongzhi asked, “What’s wrong?”


Li Qingshan said, “It’s something that’s very difficult for women to understand.” This was a man’s battle between his grand ambition and cruel reality. Perhaps the more wonderful the dream was, the more painful it was when it was time to wake up!



Han Qiongzhi shot a glare at him. She hated it when people used the fact that she was a woman as an argument, but when she remembered how Li Qingshan had even risked his life for her survival, her gaze softened again.

“You think you’re so great just because you’re a man? When you’re complacent, you think you can do anything, but once you become dejected, you can’t even match a woman, acting like how you don’t care on the surface when you’ve already given up and admitted defeat inside.”

“Are you talking about Hua Chengzan?”

“How did you know?” Han Qiongzhi was taken aback.

Li Qingshan laughed aloud. “I can’t tell normally, but you really are quite adorable!”

Han Qiongzhi’s face reddened, and she clenched her fists. “I think you only have a bit of bearing about you when you’re fighting or drinking.” Looking at Li Qingshan’s wretched smile, she was tempted to punch him.

Smiling at one another, both of them felt much closer.

“Let’s go back!” Li Qingshan said. After locating his anguish, his mind had instead settled down. He became even more determined. Regardless of whether he could accept it or not, he had to accept it all. This was life. No one was born to be a main character, nor was there anyone destined to play the role of an extra for the rest of their life. He had to continue further down his path.

“Alright.”

It was at this exact moment that the surface of the pond rippled, and a huge carp poked its head out.

“Daemon!” Han Qiongzhi clenched her fists.

“I’m the one who raised it.” Li Qingshan stopped Han Qiongzhi. “You go first. I want to bid farewell to it.”

After chasing Han Qiongzhi away, Li Qingshan crouched down and rubbed the carp’s head. “You sure are pretty lucky. I think the pond is too small for you, such that you’ll outgrow it very soon. Do you want me to release you into the Clear river?”

The huge carp nodded before suddenly diving to the bottom of the pond. Just as Li Qingshan felt puzzled, the carp swam back with something in its mouth, placing it in Li Qingshan’s hand.

Li Qingshan looked at it carefully and saw that it was a tiny black seed pod. There were around a dozen or two lotus seeds in there, with only one missing. It was the seed pod of the black lotus from earlier. Even Li Qingshan was uncertain about whether the black lotus was conjured from spiritual energy or if it was an actual plant. However, he did know that the seed pod was anything but ordinary.

“For me?”

The carp nodded before opening its mouth.

Li Qingshan stowed the seed pod away. He reached into his hundred treasures pouch, but he had already eaten all of his pills. After a moment of consideration, he found a spiritual fruit and fed it to the carp. Only then was it satisfied.

Li Qingshan used a technique and swept the carp onto the cloud. He picked up Han Qiongzhi and headed back to the academy.

Along the way, he released the carp into the Clear river. It dove into the water happily, without the slightest reluctance to part with him.

Afterwards, he was met with a casual question from Han Qiongzhi. “Do you like commander Gu?”

Li Qingshan replied without much thought, “I do.”

In the end, Han Qiongzhi immediately turned hostile and refused to pay anymore attention to him.

Li Qingshan was slightly surprised at first, but no matter how dense he was, he could still tell what Han Qiongzhi felt about him. He could not help but become content with himself. I, Li Qingshan, possess charm too! He could not help but think about the joking words he had said a few months ago.

He could not help but begin to closely study Han Qiongzhi beside him. Her pretty, short hair must have come from Han Anjun’s influence. There were many bald disciples in the school of the Military. Her tall nose bridge was very sculptural, while her pursued lips flowed with determination, or should he say, stubbornness.



She resembled her cool brother, Han Tieyi, slightly. Perhaps a pair of straight eyebrows and twinkling eyes were too valiant for a woman, but she was without a doubt a beauty.

Han Qiongzhi’s face reddened even more. She was filled with indescribable joy. She felt that even though she had been “tested” once again by her damned old man, it was not entirely bad.

However, she finally lost her patience with Li Qingshan’s gaze too, as this wretch was not satisfied with just her face. He had already begun to size up her body, and he had just reached a conclusion of “fantastic”.

“What’re you looking at!?” When she said that, even Han Qiongzhi herself felt feeble.

“Do you like me?” When he said that, even Li Qingshan felt like he probably had better things to do.

How could Han Qiongzhi admit that? As a result, the two of them returned to the Lake of Dragons and Snakes under a strange tension once again.

The sun had just begun to set, dyeing the ripples of the lake red.

Just as he had wanted, he had used less than a day to complete the trial mission, but everything that had occurred completely exceeded his imagination.

Thinking about it now, all he had done was watch a great show and play the role of an extra. Thankfully, he had not left the stage just yet.

However, only when he approached the academy did he realise that the true show had actually unfolded here.

The Formation of Dragons and Snakes no longer existed, and every single island had sustained horrifying damage. Large swathes of structures had been knocked over, with many disciples cleaning them up.

However, the island with the most exaggerated damage was Contention island. The jagged mountains there seemed to have been cut apart and ground down, turning into large swathes of cracked rock. There was not a single complete structure there.

Li Qingshan rushed over to Anāsravā? island, and sure enough, he found Xiao An safe and sound. Only then did he stop worrying. However, the island was filled with despair. Many monks had died, refined by the Altar Lords of the White Lotus cult. Not even their corpses remained.

Li Qingshan embraced her tightly and felt a different kind of danger. This was a battlefield where two Golden Core cultivators had once fought. There was not a single Qi Practitioner that could protect themselves, no matter how talented they were.

In the past, the Soaring Dragon Elder had cut down mountains like tofu. He could still recall it vividly.

“Qingshan.”

Someone called out his name. Li Qingshan looked back and saw Hua Chengzan. Their eyes met, and both of them felt like they had just survived a disaster.

Hua Chengzan said, “Sorry, I didn’t know either… Are you fine?”

Li Qingshan wrapped his arm around Hua Chengzan’s neck and smiled. “Do I look like I’m in trouble? You’d better stop asking stupid questions like that in the future.”

Hua Chengzan smiled too, but it was rather forced. Compared to Li Qingshan, he had actually just returned from the gates of death. All it would have taken was a single thought from the White Lotus Mother, and he would have been dead already.

“Commander Gu wishes to see you.”





Chapter 328: A Second Word of Advice | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan had never thought that the place where Gu Yanying wanted to see him would be Cloudwisp island.

Within the flickering bamboo forest were clothes even whiter than snow. It was another winter.

Her illusionary figure was already right before him. Li Qingshan focused his mind and walked over. “Greetings, commander Gu!”
