Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

Gu Yanying’s original message was, “If you don’t want to be transferred to the Mist province as a White Hawk commander, then you better maintain the current situation obediently!”


This was what Li Qingshan wanted as well. He wanted a period of peace. The title of “genius” never held any significance to him anyway. However, Gu Yanying’s next words left him surprised. Those that were claiming his water territory were not human, but daemon. They wanted to use this method to force out Northmoon and then pass the Dragon King of Ink Sea’s order to him so that he would have to go to the Ink sea and present himself before the dragon king.

Once he received the order properly, then he would immediately lose his place with the Dragon King of Ink Sea and the Daemon race of the Green province if he dared to brush it aside or turn it down. There was no reason needed. To rulers, disobedient subordinates deserved death.

Li Qingshan originally thought he could find an opportunity and use his clone to kill them if they were not some powerful figure. Fortunately, he had not done that. He was still reluctant to directly face the Dragon King of Ink Sea. That was much more troublesome than the Beast King. He could just make the existence known as Northmoon disappear for a period of time!

Hua Chenglu asked in concern, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. I’ll return to the academy first. Oh right, I’ll visit you regularly in the future.” Li Qingshan flew off.

Hua Chenglu grumbled, “What visit me regularly? This isn’t the Parlour of Clouds and Rain!”

……

In the room beneath Benevolence island, Chu Tian laid on a cold, jade bed quietly. The jade bed gave off white mist, which obscured his naked figure. Originally, his appearance was nothing special at all, but he was much more slender now, seeming slightly thin, but it matched his elegant bearing perfectly. The only pity was probably his overly-common facial appearance.

By the side of the jade bed was a crane-shaped censer, which spat out a wisp of smoke. It curled around Chu Tian’s surroundings like it was alive, giving off a heavy fragrance, allowing his body to relax. His skeletal frame seemed to loosen up joint by joint, lying on the bed limply. Even his mind drifted away.

A white figure walked over to the jade bed and extended her hands. She took out a sharp knife only a few inches long and said, “Are you ready? I’m going to begin.”

The indiscernible voice seemed to come from a faraway place. Through the cold mist and smoke, Chu Tian saw Ru Xin’s face and used his last bit of strength to nod slowly before his mind rapidly sank away.

Li Qingshan walked in through the passageway, standing with Hua Ci. He had left the Chain mountains with Ru Xin and knew she was giving Chu Tian a face-lift, so he obviously had to come take a look. All he saw was Ru Xin concentrating her attention as she slid the blade in her hand across Chu Tian’s face easily, carrying out the surgery in an orderly manner.

Hua Ci suddenly shot a glance at Li Qingshan and made his way out of the room. Li Qingshan followed along, rather confused.





Chapter 677: Ru Xin as Forgiveness, Chu Tian's New Face | Legend of the Great Sage




Arriving outside, Hua Ci thanked Li Qingshan first. However, even when this small, dark old man expressed his thanks, he did not seem particularly enthusiastic, which made Li Qingshan feel like he was always rather cold.

Hua Ci organised his words. “‘Ru Xin’ was not her original name.”

“Really? Then her original name is…” Li Qingshan’s interest was piqued. He had always found this name rather special. He had never heard of someone with the surname “Ru” before.

“Her original name is not important. I’ll be honest with you. I gave her the name ‘Ru Xin’. Together, they read as forgiveness.”

“Forgiveness! Forgive who?”

“Forgive herself. I originally thought she could already let go. I originally thought she could already let go and serve as a doctor in the Green province, but ever since the Exhibition Matches of the Nine Prefectures…”

Hua Ci lamented, his face filled with worry.

“Why have you suddenly told me this, senior?”

“If she decides to go to the Mist province one day, you must stop her!”

Hua Ci’s eyes shone, which gave Li Qingshan the feeling of an old man passing on his will so that someone could take care of his child. Li Qingshan thought, He isn’t as cold as he seems on the surface either.

“If something happens to her, I obviously won’t just sit by. But, why forgive? Since she can’t find relief, I’ll just help her kill who she wants to kill!”

Li Qingshan’s flat words were filled with confidence and resolve that resisted change.

Hua Ci reevaluated Li Qingshan, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Li Qingshan wanted to ask about Ru Xin’s past, but Hua Ci refused to tell him. “You better get her to tell you herself!”

……

Chu Tian woke up. He opened his eyes, only to discover he was in the same, pitch-black, underground room. He sat up on the jade bed and touched his face, which was wrapped in white bandages.

“Did it work?”

“It failed. Congratulations, your face has now been destroyed. You better not remove these bandages in the future, just in case you cause displeasure to anyone that sees you.” Ru Xin sat to the side.

“You’re joking again, fellow.” Chu Tian could sense the changes on his face. The skin had completely merged together.

Li Qingshan said curiously, “Take it off and show us how you look.”

During the time Chu Tian spent unconscious, Hua Ci carried out the follow-up treatment, so the injuries on his face had already recovered. Removing the bandages, he revealed a pretty face. His eyes twinkled like stars, his nose stood tall, and his eyebrows were long and slender. Apart from being slightly pale, he was a standard handsome man.

Coupled with the change in his bearing after recovering his memories, he bore absolutely no resemblance to Chu Tia anymore.

“How shameless!” Li Qingshan grinned. He had actually made himself so handsome. Li Qingshan became even more sincerely convinced about Ru Xin’s face-lifts.



Chu Tian picked up a mirror and took a look. He clasped his hands at Ru Xin first. “Thank you for your assistance, fellow.” Then he smiled at Li Qingshan. “This is what I looked like in my past life. It has nothing to do with handsomeness or ugliness. From today onwards, I am no longer Chu Tian!”

……

On Cloudwisp island, the bamboo forest rustled. It had been lively for a time, but ever since the disaster of the Exhibition Matches of the Nine Prefectures, it recovered its cheerlessness, which left the school leader, Liu Chuanfeng, constantly lamenting. However, he was already fortunate enough to survive. All he could do was look forward to the upcoming entrance examination and accept some talented disciples.

But it did not come without at least some benefit. The schools of Novels in the eight other prefectures sustained losses far more severe than them. A good few of them were even downright annihilated, destroying their legacy. There was no longer a single prefecture left that could fight over the control of the Cloudwisp association with them.

As a result, Sun Fubai expanded the Cloudwisp association across the entire Ruyi commandery with ease, establishing branches in each prefecture. The foundation of the school of Novels immediately multiplied by over nine times over, and their cultivation speed reached a whole new level.

Liu Chuanfeng was currently working on writing a new novel. Suddenly, he sensed a familiar aura approaching him, and he set aside his brush. Sure enough, a tall, large figure strode over.
