Chapter 535 Meeting the "In-Laws": A Warning of Misunderstandings!

"Promise?"

Li Wushou glanced at Wu Qinghe with some suspicion, then nodded, seemingly puzzled, and replied:

"That's quite a lot."

Wu Qinghe paused in her tea-drinking motion, but then heard Li Wushou continue:

"I promised your father that I would maintain the stability of Fubo Domain, and I also promised your father that I would kill the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Earth Mother Venerable in the future. If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few agreements."

"For this reason, could you give me a discount on the money I owe you?"

Wu Qinghe took a sip of tea and smiled:

"The Second Master is about to take charge of a region, why would he care about such a small amount of money?"

After saying this, Wu Qinghe's expression became inexplicably serious.

Just now, inside the Dragon Gate Valley, thanks to the Blood Buddha essence blood that Li Wushou had given her earlier, she firmly located the Blood Buddha's position.

He had originally intended to drink the Blood Buddha's Elixir to lighten Li Wushou's burden.

But unexpectedly, he met "Chen Gou'er" whom Li Wushou had mentioned.

Even Wu Qinghe was astonished by the other party's unpredictable nature.

Even a powerful being like the Blood Buddha, who was about to break through to a higher realm, had his senses clouded by the opponent.

From Wu Qinghe's detached perspective, it was as if the Blood Buddha's own flesh and blood were deceiving his own mind.

This is a blood Buddha!
A peerless figure who was about to become a supreme being through the path of flesh and blood was so naive in front of "Chen Gou'er".

If Li Wushou hadn't arrived in time, judging from Chen Gou'er's demeanor, he clearly intended to enter the Blood Buddha's Buddhist Kingdom on his own initiative.

Moreover, when Li Wushou sent him back to the Dharma Realm, Wu Qinghe discovered that "Chen Gou'er" seemed to have discovered her as well when Li Wushou discovered him.

And it playfully greeted itself.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

He always felt that Li Wushou and Chen Gou'er had a very similar aura.

There is clearly a complex connection between the two.

This left Wu Qinghe with mixed feelings.

He intended to leave once he had finished his business.

After thinking about it, I decided to invite Li Wushou over for a cup of tea.

She already knew that Li Wushou wanted to take control of the Sealing Spirit Path.

After Li Wushou renamed Sparrow God Mountain to Three Immortals Mountain, stirring up a storm in many regions, Wu Zhuangyuan secretly cursed him countless times.

Although she always avoided Wu Qinghe, she had her own channels.

Contrary to most people's guesses about "Three Immortal Mountains".

Upon hearing the name "Three Immortals," the first names that came to Wu Qinghe's mind were "Old Beggar" and "Chen Gou'er."

When Li Wushou was in Wufang City, he often mentioned these two names.

At first, she thought Li Wushou was suffering from hysteria and had just imagined these two characters.

After all, even Wu Zhuangyuan's avatar couldn't detect the existence of the "old beggar" and "Chen Gou'er" at that time.

However, later, after Li Wushou arrived in Zhenhai City...

When Wu Zhuangyuan mentioned the "old beggar" that Li Wushou had mentioned again by chance, his attitude changed.

They even keep this a closely guarded secret!

Although Wu Qinghe did not investigate further, she kept it in mind.

What could make her father so serious was clearly extraordinary.

From that time on, Wu Qinghe began to suspect that there really were two people by Li Wushou's side, but even her senses could not detect them.

This also explains why, when the Sparrow Lord descended upon Five Directions City, she sensed an extremely pure ancient divine incense power on Li Wushou.

The power of that incense offering was domineering and vast, quite different from the current divine way.

This shows that at least one of the two, "Old Beggar" and "Chen Gou'er," is an ancient deity, and someone of considerable importance.

In retrospect, it must have been that "old beggar".

This "Chen Gou'er" is clearly more unpredictable in the realm of flesh and blood.

Therefore, when people spread the names of "Xuanhuang Immortal", "Yinyang Immortal", and "Chaos Immortal".

Wu Qinghe was guessing that the real people behind the Three Immortals were "Old Beggar," "Chen Gou'er," and Li Wushou.

As expected, when Li Wushou arrived in Gejing City, Xuanhuang Xian addressed him as Second Master.

In addition, there's "Chen Gou'er" who appeared in Longmen Valley, and the "old beggar" whom the father kept a deep secret.

This undoubtedly confirmed her guess.

Wu Qinghe was deeply troubled by the fact that Li Wushou was entangled with these two unpredictable individuals.

She had warned Li Wushou to stay away from the old gods, because these old gods carried great karma. It is said that there was a time when the divine way flourished in the world.

There was a group of ancient gods who wanted to transcend heaven and earth and cause the world to fall into silence.

From then on, the immortal path rose to prominence in the world, while the divine path was buried in the dust, suppressed and emasculated by the immortal path.

Aside from the remaining divine realms, no new divine beings have appeared in the world for many years.

This must be related to "He".

Wu Qinghe wanted to become an immortal, so she naturally knew a lot about it.

Deep down, she didn't want Li Wushou to get entangled with these "old gods".

Because it is extremely easy to attract "His" attention!

Even setting aside "He", the Old Gods themselves were not benevolent beings.

To gain something, you must give something in return.

Their divine power is even more unpredictable and difficult to deal with; often, people are caught off guard without even realizing it.

Li Wushou's progress was so rapid that he even swept away many top Nascent Soul cultivators and Venerable clones with his skill and power. Even Wu Qinghe was impressed by his combat prowess.

Wu Qinghe was both surprised and puzzled.

Because it's hard to say whether Li Wushou will be able to afford the "reward" when it comes time to repay the karmic debt in the future.

But considering that Li Wushou used the name "Three Immortals," Wu Qinghe already understood Li Wushou's intentions.

She might try to persuade him, but it would likely be to little avail.

Li Wushou was unaware of Wu Qinghe's thoughts. Upon hearing this, his old habit kicked in again, and his first thought was to plead poverty.

"There's no way around it, I've made too many promises, and no matter how much money I earn, it's never enough to cover my expenses."

This was meant as a joke, but it made Wu Qinghe's heart skip a beat.

In her view, this was the cause and effect between Li Wushou and the Old God.

Even if one were to govern a region, could one not repay the debt?
Wu Qinghe slowly put down her teacup, her expression somewhat solemn, and murmured softly:

"Such a heavy cause and effect?"

Li Wushou was taken aback when he saw this, but he also realized what was happening.

Wu Qinghe seemed to have misunderstood something and was about to explain when she said again:

"I see!"

As she spoke, Wu Qinghe returned to normal, but her eyes shone brightly.

Since the entanglement is already so deep, whether it's due to the karma of the old gods or being noticed by "Him", as long as one can become an immortal, one can be free from all taboos!
"Forehead……"

Li Wushou was even more confused upon seeing this.

Does this mean they've agreed to reduce the outstanding debt?
Somewhat uncertain, but as a responsible debtor, Li Wushou tacitly refrained from asking further questions.

Changing the subject, Li Wushou asked:
"I heard from Scholar Wu that you've been very busy lately. How come you have time to come out?"

Wu Qinghe glanced at Li Wushou and replied:

"I got bored after staying here for a while. I was just about to go back to Fubo Domain. My father told me that you've made Fengling Dao quite lively, so I came to take a look."

Li Wushou wasn't embarrassed at all upon hearing this.

The first person that came to mind was Li Xing.

Is Wu Qinghe's return to Fubo Domain at this time because it's about to begin?
Now that he is only one step away from becoming a Venerable One, Li Wushou has gained some confidence in dealing with Wu Qinghe's matter.

Wanting to ask further questions, I saw Wu Qinghe's figure ripple and was about to disappear.

Li Wushou then remembered that Wu Qinghe was not the real person who came here.

Even so, he was able to suppress twins who were comparable to top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators, and even single-handedly stop the Blood Buddha.
It seems that Wu Qinghe has also made remarkable progress during this period. I wonder what level of cultivation she has reached. I guess she is not far from becoming a Venerable One.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Wushou spoke solemnly:
"My ascension to the highest realm is imminent; your affairs are none of my concern."

Wu Qinghe slowly stood up, interrupting Li Wushou.

"I can handle my own affairs."

You can handle your own affairs.

The old gods value cause and effect; lest you become entangled in them without realizing it.

As she spoke, Wu Qinghe walked up to Li Wushou, gazed at his brow, and said, word by word:
When we meet again, I hope we will still be each other.

We also hope that Sanxian Mountain will live up to the name of the Three Immortals!

After speaking, Wu Qinghe's figure flickered and she landed back inside the bronze mirror held by the maid.

Li Wushou raised his head, looked at the bronze mirror, and his mind stirred.

Wu Qinghe's words seem to have a hidden meaning.
Just then, the old beggar in the Three Immortals Pavilion cackled strangely:
"This little girl, I'm afraid you'll get involved in some serious karma. She just met her 'in-laws' and she's already warning me and the dog?"

Li Wushou was taken aback upon hearing this, and stared blankly at the bronze mirror.
