He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Seeing the change in Li Mingyang's expression, Pei Si placed one hand on the hilt of his sword, and the scouts were rushing towards the small courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to panic. I have no intention of harming either of you."

Li Mingyang's gaze was deep, and he smiled nonchalantly.

We will meet again someday.

After saying that, Li Mingyang and Li Mingyue disappeared from the spot.

Pei Si narrowed his eyes, stopped recalling the spy-hunting cavalry, and then cast a spell, releasing another wave of spy-hunting cavalry.

Pei Si kept calculating with his fingers.

Thirty breaths later.

Pei Si's gaze was deep and unfathomable; he couldn't figure it out.

Xu Zhi looked thoughtfully at Pei Si.

Were they set up?

Pei Si: "Go find Qian Pan."

…………

alley.

Qian Pan covered half of his face, wincing in pain, and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Pei Si and the other man.

"My lords, I truly have no idea who these Li Mingyang and Li Mingyue are that you're talking about."

Qian Pan wailed inwardly.

Today, I was struck by a sudden and unexpected beating, especially by the one wearing a veil, who was particularly ruthless.

As for the two people asking about Li Mingyang and Li Mingyue, and the so-called jinx of the Li family, they had never heard of them.

Furthermore, did the head of the Li family take a woman of the night as a concubine?

It's unclear where these two heard the scandalous news.

The head of the Li family, one of the four great families of Shu County, took a woman of the night as a concubine, a fact that would be a laughing stock if it were told.

Pei Si remained silent.

"You can leave now."

Qian Pan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and led a group of bruised and battered men out of the alley as fast as he could.

Xu Zhi remained silent.

She didn't know why, but it seemed that only she and Pei Si remembered the Li Mingyang brothers.

Pei Si remained indifferent.

He sent out scouts and cavalry, but they found nothing.

They then went to ask well-informed people like Master Xin and Bai Xiaosheng for information, but to no avail.

There are no two people named Li Mingyang or Li Mingyue in the Li family!

At the level of memory, the existence of these two people has been erased.

"Go back and ask your master."

…………、

Four days later.

After escorting Xu Zhi back to Qingcheng County, Pei Si headed straight for Qingcheng Mountain.

Palaces and temples.

Huang Ting was sweeping away the dust with a large broom.

Pei Si stepped forward, snatched the large broom, and laughed, "Master, wouldn't a single dust-cleansing talisman suffice? Let your disciple do it."

Seeing Pei Si diligently sweeping the floor, Huang Ting smiled but said nothing.

This young disciple has acquired quite a few good things after his trip out.

It is very sharp.

A quarter of an hour later, Pei Si rubbed his lower back and said with a grin, "Master, I'm done sweeping."

"Sit down," Huang Ting said, pointing to the prayer mat opposite him.

Pei Si put down the broom, sat obediently on the futon, and took the initiative to say, "Master, this time I went down the mountain to Shu County and gained a lot. I have some gold-elemental spiritual items to offer as a token of my filial piety."

Pei Si took out the long sword containing golden energy, held it horizontally in his hand, and handed it to Huang Ting.

Huang Ting blinked and took the long sword with one hand.

The long sword was not well-behaved when it first came into Huang Ting's hands, and it kept trembling.

Huang Tingyu flicked the blade with his finger and said softly, "Quiet."

The long sword finally calmed down. Huang Ting gripped the sword with one hand, his gaze moving from the hilt up to the tip.

"Indeed, it's a fine knife. The quality of this knife itself is not far from that of a top-grade damask."

"Where did you get it from?"

Pei Si: "This disciple mistakenly entered the secret realm of the sword technique inheritance of Li Shiwei, the King of Former Shu, and luckily obtained this sword."

Huang Ting gave a lukewarm "hmm," placed the long sword on his lap, and looked at Pei Si.

She knew the deeds of Li Shiwei, the former King of Shu. His swordsmanship was unparalleled. With the strength of a mid-level cultivator, he withstood the suppression of high-level cultivators seeking the Dharma and killed several mid-level cultivators with a single strike.

His reputation spread far and wide in the Eastern Cang Divine Continent.

Pei Si was able to obtain the metal-elemental spiritual object that he had connected with the immortal foundation when he was building his foundation.

Li Shiwei's swordsmanship must have fallen into Pei Si's hands as well.

Pei Si glanced at the long sword lying across his master's lap, a thought rising in his mind.

He didn't have any particular reason for rewarding the longsword; he was just disappointed.

I had only intended to exchange pleasantries with my master, but judging from this, he truly intends to acquire this precious sword.

"Knife skills?" Huang Ting asked succinctly.

Pei Si nodded, saying calmly, "It was just luck that I comprehended the Shu King's sword technique."

"This sword technique is called the 'Slaying Technique of Envy and Light'."

"Slay the Dharma and admire the light." Huang Ting savored these four words.

"Master, I have another matter to report," Pei Si said loudly.

He recounted the entire story of Li Mingyang and his brother from beginning to end.

Huang Ting frowned slightly and said, "This matter is not urgent."

He picked up the long knife again, saying, "Since you have such filial piety, I will accept it for now."

Pei Si: "..."

Huang Ting then asked, "What? You can't bear to part with it?"

Pei Si chuckled awkwardly and said, "How could I not be willing to part with something to show my respect to my master? Has my master given any instructions?"

Huang Ting shook his head and flicked his whisk. "You may leave now."

…………

The night is getting darker.

Pei Si finished his practice, and the true blood essence within his body grew stronger.

It must be said that the founder of Lingcang Blade Sect was quite something. The Monkey Embracing the Moon Stance and the Black Tiger Stance are worlds apart, and the amount of Qi and Blood that can be obtained is worlds apart.

However, that image of the old ape hanging the seal is now useless.

The visualization depicts two monkeys.

Another old ape sat cross-legged on the blue stone, palms facing each other, letting the waterfall rush down on him, his heart as still as water.

An old ape hangs from a withered vine with one hand, its five fingers pressing down in a claw-like shape, its spine bulging out like a string of pearls.

The withered vine and old ape taught him the leaping step, ape punch, and moon-embracing stance.

Since then, the withered vine and old ape returned to the meditation diagram and never again transmitted power in the middle of the night.

Pei Si thought to himself, "Could it be that the time is not yet right?"

"Knock knock knock".

"Junior brother, Master sent me to deliver something to you!"

Outside the courtyard, Mingyue's voice could be heard.

"Could it be that Master has already deduced the origins of the Li Mingyang brothers?" Pei Si wondered to himself.

Open the door.

Senior Sister Mingyue stood outside the door and said, "Junior Brother, why didn't you come to find me and Senior Sister Qingfeng after you returned to the mountain?"

Pei Si: "I was just about to go find my two senior sisters to hunt some monsters on Canghong Mountain, but I didn't expect my senior sisters to come to me first."

Pei Si closed the courtyard gate and welcomed Senior Sister Mingyue into the house.

Warm light, a small red clay stove.

A warm and inviting atmosphere is immediately apparent.

Mingyue nodded in satisfaction and said, "I must say, Junior Brother, you've really done a great job with this makeover."

Pei Si laughed heartily and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Mingyue took out a long sword and a jade scroll.

Pei Si looked closely and recognized it as the long sword he had given to his master that morning.

It has an added scabbard.

Mingyue cleared her throat and said, "Master asked me to pass on a message, Junior Brother, please listen carefully."

"This long sword is too conspicuous to carry around, and it is easy to attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives. With a scabbard, it can conceal its sharpness and suppress the golden energy."

"Furthermore, the matter concerning Li Mingyang was not directed at you; I will handle that."

"This jade slip contains the method for transforming metal qi into water qi. With your comprehension, learning it shouldn't be a problem. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"That's all."

Mingyue chuckled, hooking her arm around Pei Si's neck, and said, "Junior Brother, you've had quite a haul on this trip down the mountain. Did you prepare anything for your Senior Sister?"
