Sheng Fu

Chapter 1142 Keep on going
Pu Weiqing hummed in agreement, then smiled inexplicably, "It seems my military career has been quite smooth; you've actually become my first benefactor."

“You already have a deep friendship with the Spirit Clan’s Zhen’an King. After I go to the Spirit Clan, I will naturally have fewer opportunities to go to places with intrigue and backstabbing. Whatever I do will be much more open and transparent.”

"They will be treated with great courtesy by the Prince of Zhen'an."

Yuwen Jun smiled demurely and said, "Firstly, the defense of Tie Mang City must not be lost. Secondly, the former dean of Bailu Academy joined the army and his first stop was the Ling Clan, which is more conducive to the close alliance between the two clans."

"It can also eliminate many unnecessary troubles invisibly."

Pu Weiqing understood the meaning and praised, "You are truly becoming more and more like a general."

Yuwen Jun replied expressionlessly, "You flatter me."

Nowadays, Yuwen Jun no longer cares about the praise from the older generation. For most young people, being praised by the older generation might be a source of pride, but for a very small number of young people, it is a source of shame.

We are both heroes of our generation, so why is it that you are so high and mighty while I have to listen attentively?

Of course, Pu Weiqing did not notice Yuwen Jun's little mood at this moment. He truly felt that Yuwen Jun's talent as a general was becoming more and more consummate.

"Li Qiu, what are your plans for settling in?" Pu Weiqing asked.

Originally, Pu Weiqing intended to pass on his Three Swords of Longevity to Li Qiu. However, Li Qiu had already passed the prime age for cultivation. Even with the help of the pills refined by the Heavenly Python, which could reshape Li Qiu's physique, no matter how you looked at it, Li Qiu was past his prime age.

Moreover, Li Qiu's state of mind is very similar to Qiu Qing's.

They would likely not accept Yuwen Jun or anyone else's attempts to force their children to grow too quickly.

Li Qiu also has his own way of cultivating himself and his way of surviving.

He is not a simple young man; he is a young man who has endured a lot of hardship but still faces the sun with hope.

Yuwen Jun felt somewhat embarrassed.

These past few days, Yuwen Jun has also been thinking about this matter.

"Let Li Qiu grow on his own for ten years, and then make a decision." After much thought, Yuwen Jun could only reply in this way.

Providing him with cultivation resources and sending renowned scholars to guide him in his studies and moral principles seems to align with the ideals many people hold, but this does not align with Li Qiu's own ideals.

Furthermore, the most taboo thing in spiritual practice is not following one's own true nature.

If Li Qiu were a young man who valued personal gain and longed to take shortcuts to instant success, he would certainly not have been valued by Qiu Qing.

Upon hearing this, Pu Weiqing felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Could you give him some of the cultivation techniques? The 'Pure Heart Technique' that Qiu Qing practices is not a path of killing. Although it has a certain grandeur, it cannot be described as profound."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he might suddenly have an epiphany while cultivating the 'Purifying Heart Technique,' and thus find another path of cultivation. After all, cultivation is inherently subject to many variables."

“But Li Qiu is too old.”

"This possibility is negligible."

Yuwen Jun said, "For now, we can only let them roam freely."

"This person has a resolute mind, as firm as steel. Although he is young, he has experienced many life-and-death separations. His mindset is different from that of ordinary people."

"When the time is right, then we will grant him his destiny."

"However, we also need to arrange a protector for him."

"I haven't decided who to choose yet."

Pu Weiqing asked, "Li Xiunian, what do you think?"

Yuwen Jun shook his head and said, "No, Li Xiunian is the orthodox disciple of Bailu Academy, while Li Qiu is clearly orthodox in the secular sense, so he needs to travel the world."

"The lord of Zhengxiong Mountain is quite good," Pu Weiqing said. "When will the pills be given to Li Qiu?"

"He missed the best years for cultivation, so he needs to undergo a complete cleansing and rejuvenation process."

When it came to Li Qiu's affairs, the two of them were extremely patient and thorough.

"After some time, I will grant Li Qiu a dream, allowing him to take the elixir without his knowledge."

“If an ambitious person gets fixated on a single point, it’s possible for many things to become unbelievable,” Yuwen Jun replied seriously.

Ascetic training is the most suitable path for Li Qiu.

In fact, no one cared how much Li Qiu would achieve in the future; it was only because he was Qiu Qing's last disciple that many people paid great attention to Li Qiu.

Of course, many people are now watching Li Qiu's behavior.

If Li Qiu wanted to enter officialdom, he could do so now, and at least reach the fifth rank. However, if he did enter officialdom now, many people would look down on him, including Yuwen Jun.

Li Qiu probably understands this principle himself.

"I will return to Hengchang Sect first," Yuwen Jun said.

Pu Weiqing frowned slightly and whispered a reminder: "Don't rush into revenge."

Yuwen Jun's heart sank, then he took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

Before they knew it, the two had left the palace.

Outside the palace, a magnificent carriage was parked. Jing Peiyao stood beside the carriage and bowed slightly to Pu Weiqing, saying, "Master, are you really going to abandon your studies and join the army?"

Pu Weiqing smiled calmly and said, "It's boiled too."

Jing Peiyao's eyes glazed over for a moment. Seeing this, Pu Weiqing chuckled and said, "Even you have been to the battlefield many times. Does that mean I can't go to the battlefield? Or have I reached the point where people doubt my abilities?"

Pu Weiqing's talent in leading troops into battle remains a mystery.

Jing Peiyao quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare, Master is overthinking it."

Yuwen Jun coughed and said, "We should go now. The Dean will be reorganizing the White Deer Army. After that, he will go to Iron Mang City. The two of us should return to Hengchang Sect first, and then prepare some gifts to go to the Spirit Clan to visit all the necessary connections for our Master."

Jing Peiyao nodded repeatedly and said, "That's excellent."

Pu Weiqing glanced at Yuwen Jun, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to...

Immediately afterwards, Yuwen Jun boarded the carriage with an air of nonchalance.

Actually, this carriage was prepared by Jing Peiyao for Pu Weiqing, but unfortunately, it was Yuwen Jun who got in.

Seeing this, Jing Peiyao simply exhaled through her nose.

"You go first. I need to calm down and make some preparations in the next few days," Pu Weiqing said gently to Jing Peiyao, who was already a little angry.

Jing Peiyao bowed solemnly before getting into the car.

A moment later, the chariot crossed the void and disappeared.

Seeing this, Pu Weiqing looked up again at the gloomy, rainy sky. He felt happy but also sad at the thought that he would fight alongside his apprentice in the end.

Sadly, Qiu Qing is already dead, and her apprentice is just beginning his difficult life.

But looking around...

Autumn's presence can be seen everywhere in the human world.
