From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 111 Love and Hate, The Emperor of Destiny

"Senior Brother, you would never guess how my trip will end."

Li Sifeng looked at Li Qingqiu and said earnestly, holding his wine bowl in both hands as if to warm it.

Li Qingqiu stared at him calmly and said, "Such roundabout ways make it clear that you didn't destroy the Pei family, and you're not even angry. You've probably been bribed by the Pei family."

Li Sifeng looked embarrassed and said, "Let me explain. After I finish, you can consider whether you want to scold me!"

Li Qingqiu wasn't angry. He knew Li Sifeng's personality all too well. This kid was petty. Pei had harmed Li Sifeng so badly, so there must be another reason why Li Sifeng could let it go.

He noticed that Li Dongyue had been admitted to the hospital, so he waved to her.

Li Sifeng turned his head and saw that it was Li Dongyue. His eyes darted around, and he didn't rush to speak.

After Li Dongyue sat down next to Li Qingqiu, Li Sifeng began to recount the whole story.

"I traveled all the way to Zhenyang Imperial City and learned along the way that the Pei clan had moved to Dongling Prefecture. So I turned around and headed to Dongling Prefecture. I was originally planning to go on a killing spree, but I happened to find the Pei clan distributing grain. The people were very grateful to them. Of course, I thought these actions were just an act."

"However, I wanted to wait until the Pei clan finished distributing the grain first, so that it would also benefit the people. So I waited a few more days. As a result, I heard that there was a bully in the city who forcibly abducted a woman and took her into his mansion. The woman died tragically in the mansion. Her husband went to look for her and was also beaten to death in front of the mansion gate. Her parents reported to the government, but the government did not care. She died of illness in bed, leaving only a little child all alone."

"Who am I? I am Li Sifeng, the young hero of Qingxiao Sect. How could I stand idly by when I saw such evil? Just as I was about to punish the bully, I arrived at the bully's mansion and saw a large crowd of people gathered there. It turned out that someone had punished the bully before me, and the people were cheering. After some investigation, I found out that it was the daughter of the Pei clan chief who had taken action."

Li Sifeng became more and more excited as he spoke. Li Qingqiu and Li Dongyue exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.

“The next morning, I stormed into the Pei clan’s ancestral home and demanded that their clan leader come out for a confrontation, so that they would die a quick death and prevent anyone from smearing us. Unexpectedly, when I explained why I had come, the clan leader apologized to me and handed over the Pei clan members who wanted to seize the Emperor Xuan Sword so that I could kill them. Even when other clan members tried to stop him, the clan leader ignored them.”

At this point in Li Sifeng's sentence, Li Dongyue couldn't help but ask, "So you didn't kill him?"

Li Sifeng, as if insulted, glared and roared, "Fourth Senior Sister, what do you take me for? Do you think my Qingxiao Sect disciples would die in vain? I killed that clansman with a single sword strike, and not only that, I felt it wasn't enough; I wanted to kill everyone involved!"

"The Pei clan chief was also straightforward and ordered a thorough investigation. In less than an hour, members of the Pei family were brought to me bound. At first, they cried out that they were innocent, but later they started cursing the clan chief. I waited until they had finished arguing before I took action."

"This time, I killed 34 people in a row, which was extremely satisfying. However, it will be difficult for these guys to hunt down the martial arts practitioners they hired."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Qingqiu nervously.

Li Qingqiu exclaimed, "The Pei clan chief is truly skilled, decisive, and ruthless."

Li Dongyue frowned, staring at Li Sifeng, and said, "Do you think the grudge is over? You killed so many people in their clan's mansion. Put yourself in their shoes, would you think this matter is over? Even if that clan leader really thinks so, what about the other clan members? Don't underestimate the foundation of a noble clan."

Li Sifeng shook his head and said, "I'm not that stupid, but what the clan chief said really touched me. It's better to resolve a feud than to let it fester. He betrothed his daughter to me on the spot. To make sure I'm not worried, he asked me to bring his daughter back to Qingxiao Mountain to discuss the matter with my senior brother. If we can settle it, we'll get married at Qingxiao Mountain, and the Pei family will definitely bring generous gifts."

"A marriage alliance?" Li Dongyue asked in surprise, as if she were meeting Li Sifeng for the first time.

Li Sifeng blushed and said, "I am not someone who is easily swayed. It's just that I know the Pei family. They have countless branches all over the world. It's impossible to kill them all. If we can resolve this, it would be a good thing."

Li Qingqiu asked, "Are you sure that woman is the daughter of the Pei clan chief?"

“I’m sure, because the Pei family woman who punished the bully was indeed her. I saw her with my own eyes. Moreover, at that time, I did not reveal my whereabouts. The Pei family had no idea that I was coming. It was impossible for them to set up such a big scheme. Furthermore, on the way, Pei Miao told me that her father disdained martial arts and divine weapons in the martial arts world and had long disapproved of those clansmen making enemies with martial artists. This time, my going to seek revenge actually helped him.”

Li Sifeng quickly replied, his voice softening at the end, "Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Sister, I have arranged for Pei Miao to stay in the guest courtyard. I wonder if you agree to this marriage?"

Li Qingqiu was somewhat dazed.

The little kid from back then has grown up to the point where he can start a family and build a career. Time really flies.

Seeing the unusually shy and hesitant twenty-year-old Li Sifeng, Li Qingqiu felt both gratified and worried.

Li Dongyue turned to look at Li Qingqiu and said, "Senior Brother, what he said makes sense. It would be best if the grudges could be resolved. Whether it works or not, we should see what happens to that Miss Pei Miao first."

Li Sifeng cast a grateful glance at Li Dongyue.

Li Qingqiu's expression was calm, but it was precisely because she was so calm that Li Sifeng felt very guilty and uneasy.

"Ask her if she'd like to join the Qingxiao Sect. If she is, let her become a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect first, and then we can discuss the marriage later," Li Qingqiu said.

Li Sifeng was overjoyed and quickly got up to thank Li Qingqiu. Then he turned and ran, using his lightness skill to leap over the courtyard wall.

Li Dongyue shook her head, then looked at Li Qingqiu and asked, "Senior Brother, what do you think?"

Li Qingqiu replied, "If what he said is true, then this marriage is indeed the best way to settle the score. If it is false, then the Pei family is malicious and dares to set up such a scheme. They must be eradicated."

Li Dongyue nodded and said with emotion, "I used to wonder which of the seven of us would get married first. I thought it would be the third senior brother, but I didn't expect it to be the sixth junior brother."

Li Qingqiu chuckled and asked, "Why is it Third Junior Brother?"

"He is handsome and has a cold personality, which makes him easy to attract women."

"Is he more handsome than me?"

"Then naturally he is slightly inferior to the eldest brother."

"Then why don't you think it's possible that I'll get married first?"

"I just feel like you can't do it."

"Then you're right. I, your senior brother, will not bow down to love and romance. My goal transcends worldly love and romance."

"Yes, Senior Brother is the best." ...

That evening, Li Qingqiu gathered his junior brothers and sisters and told them about the matter, to which they reacted in different ways.

Li Sijin immediately lost her temper and angrily cursed Li Sifeng, accusing him of being bewitched. She was about to go find Pei Miao, but was stopped by Li Dongyue.

Zhang Yuchun was pleased, feeling that if this were true, it would be a good thing.

Jiang Zhaoxia then said that he was willing to go to the Pei family again to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Wu Man'er looked at everyone with a simple smile, without saying a word.

"Senior brother, sister, I believe in Pei Miao. Can you give me, and give her, a chance? The marriage doesn't have to be settled immediately. Like our eldest brother said, we can observe her first." Li Sifeng stood up and said urgently.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu brought up the Daoist chart panel and searched for Pei Miao's portrait.

The disciples' portraits are arranged according to their entry time, so Li Qingqiu only needs to look at the last batch of portraits.

He found Pei Miao very quickly.

Name: Pei Miao

【Gender: Female】

[Age: 17 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 83/72 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Good]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

[Destiny: Love and Hate to the Extreme, Twin Dragon Empress]

[Love and hate at their deepest: One can give everything for the one they love, including their life; but if betrayed, the deepest love will turn into the deepest hate.]

[The Twin Dragon Empresses: Destined to be the mother of a nation, they will give birth to two emperors, their fates are extraordinary]

……

When Li Qingqiu saw Pei Miao's loyalty rating, the tension in his heart immediately eased. A high loyalty rating meant that she was most likely telling the truth.

As for why he was tall, it was obvious that on the way back, Li Sifeng had told Pei Miao a lot about him and the Qingxiao Sect.

His aptitude and comprehension are both quite good.

However, when Li Qingqiu saw her destiny, he frowned.

Love and hate are intertwined. Fortunately, if Li Sifeng betrays her and is hated by her, then Li Sifeng deserves it. As long as Li Sifeng treats her well, this fate will only make Li Qingqiu more satisfied with her.

There's also the destiny of the Twin Dragon Queens...

Will Pei Miao become the empress?
So, is this marriage going to happen or not?

If it doesn't work out, Pei Miao will become someone else's wife, and what will Li Sifeng do then?
If it succeeds, wouldn't that be...

Li Qingqiu's mood became heavy; he didn't really want to see either outcome.

Rather than becoming emperor, Li Qingqiu hoped that Li Sifeng would pursue immortality with him, since if Li Sifeng became emperor, it would inevitably delay his cultivation.

Li Qingqiu then thought of Li Sifeng's destiny: a wolf in sheep's clothing, capable of anything.

If he receives the Pei family's assistance, he is indeed very likely to develop great ambitions.

If this marriage is prevented, and the Pei family invests in someone else to make Pei Miao another man's wife and eventually empress, will her fate of loving and hating so deeply make her an enemy of Li Sifeng, or even an enemy of the Qingxiao Sect?

At this moment, Li Qingqiu even had murderous intent and wanted to get rid of Pei Miao.

But only for a brief moment, he realized he couldn't do that and had to consider Li Sifeng's thoughts.

Moreover, Pei Miaoneng gave birth to two emperors destined for heaven, possessing extraordinary destinies. Could she be a peerless genius comparable to Zhao Zhen?

Li Sifeng, who was arguing with Li Sijin and Jiang Zhaoxia, noticed Li Qingqiu frowning. His heart skipped a beat, and he was immediately terrified, losing all interest in arguing with his senior brother and sister.

His senior brother was like a father to him, and he would never marry Pei Miao if his senior brother did not agree.

Today, Pei Miao said that if his senior brother disagreed, they could elope. At that moment, he was furious. He could not betray his senior brother.

If the eldest brother really disagrees, he definitely won't go through with the marriage.

He's quiet now because he doesn't want to upset his senior brother.

He felt that he might not be able to see through the hearts of women, nor could he see through the hearts of people. He could only be sure of one thing: his senior brother would never harm him.

Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Jiang Zhaoxia and Li Sijin followed his gaze. When they saw that Li Qingqiu's expression was not good, they also chose to shut up and slowly sat down.
