Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

Li Qingshan smiled and landed on the Parlour of Clouds and Rain. He did not purposefully hold back, nor did he intentionally make a display. He clasped his hands around and said some formalities before taking his seat and toasting the Golden Core cultivators one by one.

The first one was obviously Han Anjun. His father-in-law had nothing to say, just downing the cup in one gulp.

Next was his superior, Gu Yanying. Gu Yanying said, “Congratulations!” Then she said, “You’re welcome to pay a visit to my Waterside Pavilion of Listening Wind tomorrow!”

Li Qingshan said, “I was planning to do that!”

Afterwards, Li Qingshan drank to his heart’s content. Everyone was jolly in the entire parlour.



Qian Rongzhi looked away and began patrolling through the Parlour of Clouds and Rain. This was her responsibility as a White Wolf guard.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind her. “May I ask if you are senior Qian Rongzhi?”

Qian Rongzhi turned around, only to see a handsome young man standing there. He said, “I’m Lin Xuan. I’m also from the Academy of the Hundred Schools of the Clear River prefecture. I’m still cultivating in the school of Daoism right now. I’ve heard about senior’s great name a long time ago!”

Qian Rongzhi had heard of this name before. He was a rising star of the Academy of the Hundred Schools of the Clear River prefecture, and he had basically risen to fame over the years. However, she had seen far too many geniuses before. Let alone Li Qingshan and Xiao An, even she had earned the title of genius now. She had also received a letter of challenge from Yin Xiaochou, but she simply ignored it.

As a result, she did not believe a mere Qi Practitioner like him had anything worth noting. She just found his gaze sincere and his bearing gentle, which made her remember a distant memory for some reason.

“What’s the matter?”

……

The next morning in the Waterside Pavilion of Listening Wind, the lotus flowers stretched into the distance and oozed with fragrance.

Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying sat before one another, tasting the tea together in a very leisurely manner.

Gu Yanying placed down her cup. “In other words, you’ve made up your mind about going to the Mist province!”

Li Qingshan smiled. “Circumstances. With my cultivation, I can’t remain as a Scarlet Hawk commander, can I? And, in my knowledge, the Green province doesn’t have any open positions for me!”

Gu Yanying said, “And with your reputation, neither the imperial court nor the Hawkwolf Guard could possibly let you go. Even the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga can’t change that fact!”

A resounding reputation was both good and bad. Even the imperial court was forced to pay particular attention to a supreme genius who had undergone the second heavenly tribulation before the age of thirty. They had to keep him in their system. Although the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga dominated in the Green province, they could not contend against the Hawkwolf Guard and the Great Xia empire.

“Speaking of which, you should go back and pay a visit to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga!”

“There’s no hurry for that.” Li Qingshan planned on pushing the first seven layers of the Demon Suppression Statuary to the peak before attempting the eighth floor of the Demon Suppression hall.

“That little girl of yours has already emerged from seclusion!”

Li Qingshan was taken aback. He was overjoyed. “Xiao An has emerged from seclusion!?”





Chapter 744: Reunion After a Long Separation, Xiao An and Me | Legend of the Great Sage




Gu Yanying said, “I just received the news!”

“That’s fantastic!”

Li Qingshan stood up, tempted to rush over to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga immediately. However, after pacing around, he sat back down.

He still had to focus on his priorities. Xiao An had undergone the second heavenly tribulation, but she probably had to become a head monk and learn the Chant of Deva-Nāga before she could see him. If he rushed over now, he would probably just have the door slammed in his face. He was better off sticking with his original plan.

“Si Qing definitely won’t let this opportunity of revenge slip by. You’ll probably face quite a lot of danger by going to the Mist province this time, and it won’t just be from Si Qing.”

Gu Yanying tapped her palm gently with her jade folding fan. Since the Mist province was known as a lawless land, the Hawkwolf Guard that were representatives of the laws obviously faced great hostility. Apart from these surface-level conflicts, there were many more dangers lurking beneath.

“I’ve even offended the last people I can afford to offend, so what danger can I be afraid of?” Li QIngshan smiled. Was it supposed to be even more dangerous than the Dragon King of Ink Sea hunting him down? He was on rather good terms with the Daemon King of the Mist province, the Great Banyan Tree King!

Gu Yanying smiled. “Fair enough. There’s no need for you to agree immediately either. I’ll help you out so that you receive the compensation you deserve from the Hawkwolf Guard!”

“Then I’ll be troubling you.”

“It’s nothing. Oh right, which commandery would you like to go to?”

“The South Sea commandery!”

Gu Yanying raised her eyebrows. “That’s easy then. None of the commanderies of the Mist province are more dangerous than the South Sea commandery. Although I shouldn’t really ask about this, I’m really quite curious about why you would suddenly want to go to such a distant place.”

“I promised someone to go to the coast of the South sea.”

“A woman?”

“A friend.”

……

After leaving the Waterside Pavilion of Listening Wind, Li Qingshan went to Han Qiongzhi’s dwelling.

Han Qiongzhi was waiting for him. Seeing him return, she asked in a hurry, “Qingshan, what did commander Gu say?”

“Seems like I’m going to be promoted.” Li Qingshan sat down with a smile and lifted her up, placing her on his lap.

“Where to?”

“I might have to pay a visit to the South Sea commandery.”

“The South Sea commandery!” Han Qiongzhi exclaimed.

Within the records of the Hawkwolf Guard, there were not a lot of places more dangerous than the South Sea commandery. Cases of White Hawk commanders and White Wolf commanders perishing had both happened there.

“You don’t have to worry. I just happen to want to go out for some training. There aren’t a lot in the world that can harm me.”



“Then let me accompany you!”

“Only when you cultivate in peace do I not have to worry,” Li Qingshan said softly.

Han Qiongzhi also understood that. With her strength, she could not help him out even if she went. Instead, it would be very easy for her to become a deadweight, tying him down.

“Then wait until Xiao An emerges from secluded cultivation. She can definitely help you out!”

“She has already emerged.”

“That’s fantastic!”

“The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga probably won’t let their most outstanding disciple risk her life with me in the Mist province!”

Li Qingshan shook his head. He was not very optimistic about this. The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga basically guarded against him like they were guarding against a thief. They only wished that Xiao An and he never saw each other again.

“Then what do you do?” Han Qiongzhi frowned.

“What else can I do? It’s not like I’m that flimsy. Even if I’m alone, I’m going to stir the Mist province into a mess.”

Seeing how worried she was, Li Qingshan was touched. He pinched her cheek with a smile and embraced her firmly, kissing her ear gently. He said softly, “Qiongzhi, the three years of mourning are already over. We can officially get married.”

Han Qiongzhi was very interested, but she said, “Wasn’t that time in the past official?”

“Of course it was.”
