The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

As for the reason for the suspension, it certainly wasn't because someone wanted to monopolize the business.

It's not because the two sides have reached a stalemate, but because they've reached a deadlock.

According to news reports, it appears that both sides are willing to negotiate.

Upon seeing this news, Lu Changfeng wondered if he had misread it.

They fought to the death, so many cultivators and demon beasts died, and now they're negotiating?

Moreover, the highest-level cultivators deployed so far are only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, with no late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators appearing, let alone the late-stage Deity Transformation demon beast mentioned at the previous meeting.

If they haven't even won them over, what's the point of negotiating a peace agreement?

He immediately used the divination technique of the heavens to cast a hexagram.

Unexpectedly, they really intended to negotiate, but there was no further information. After all, this involved so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and it was already quite impressive that a mere Golden Core stage cultivator like myself could foresee that they were truly going to negotiate.

Just as Lu Changfeng was wondering how things would unfold next, Li Mingfei found him with Xiao Qi.

"Brother Lu, I want to ask you something!"

Seeing his formal demeanor, Lu Changfeng nodded despite his confusion.

"Sure, ask me anything you know!"

After struggling for a while, Li Mingfei finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Hey, Lu-ge, do you know Bing-ge? He's not fighting anymore, is he?"

"But I can't get in touch with him at all!"

"Can you get through to me?"

Despite the fact that Li Mingfei and Li Bing haven't been in much contact and seem to have a casual relationship,

In reality, the two had always had a good relationship. In fact, if Li Bing and Li Mingfei's father hadn't conspired to trick the former royal family, their family wouldn't have been able to have such a smooth life.

Furthermore, Li Bing's Luoyun Shopping Mall is located in the capital of Dajin, so how could the relationship between the two sides be bad?

Lu Changfeng immediately sighed.

"Then I'll just say it bluntly, he's dead!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei froze on the spot, then looked on in disbelief.

"Brother Lu, you're kidding me, right? How could he possibly be dead? Didn't he already reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Lu Changfeng simply shook his head at this.

"Does reaching the Foundation Establishment stage mean you're immune to death? Don't you know how many cultivators died in this war between humans and demons?"

"Even those at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages risk death! Let alone those at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei staggered, and Xiao Qi quickly stepped forward and carefully placed him on the sofa.

It was only at this moment that Li Mingfei couldn't help but speak up.

"Brother Lu, can you tell me how he died?"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng did not hide anything and then told him what he knew.

"That's the situation. Although the Blood Burning Sect's instigation played a part, it was ultimately his own decision!"

Finally, he even posted Li Bing's last message to him.

After listening, Li Mingfei fell even more silent. After a long while, he staggered to his feet, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lu Changfeng.

"Thank you, Brother Lu. If it weren't for you, he'd probably be eaten by a siren by now!"

For humans, the bodies of monsters have endless uses, and for sea monsters, human corpses are naturally a great tonic. Once they encounter one, there is no reason for them to give it up.

In the end, Li Mingfei left; clearly, this incident had a significant impact on him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Death happens all the time, and we usually don't take it seriously, but it's only when someone close to us dies that it really makes us feel sad.

Regardless of what this person was like before, whether good or bad, at this moment it all seems to have suddenly become the past.

At night, Li Mingfei was eating barbecue skewers alone on the street, holding a bottle of spirit wine in his hand. He was drinking and eating at the same time, and his staggering steps would occasionally make Xiao Qi, who was secretly following behind him, jump.

Finally, after finishing the skewers and the drink in his hand, Li Mingfei collapsed onto the road.

Xiaoqi quickly stepped forward.

"Master, you're drunk, let's go home!"

However, upon being helped by Xiao Qi, Li Mingfei couldn't help but let out a hiccup, and then, in a drunken slur, began to speak...

"Xiao Qi, how come there are so many Xiao Qis?!"

"It's all fake, fake!"

"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk!"

As she spoke, Li Bing tried to push Xiao Qi away to prove that she wasn't drunk, but for some reason, she couldn't push her away even after several attempts.

Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears in Xiaoqi's arms.

"Waaaaah, Bing-ge is dead! Bing-ge is dead!"

"Xiao Qi, Brother Bing is dead!"

"He just died like that!"

"He had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still alive, he could run and jump! Now he's suddenly dead."

Seeing this, Xiaoqi hugged Li Mingfei and gently comforted him.

"Master, it's alright, it's alright!"

Sensing the scent emanating from Xiao Qi, Li Mingfei suddenly felt aroused, which put him in an awkward position.

Damn, I'm feeling really upset right now, so please don't move around or cause trouble!

It was such a sad atmosphere, and suddenly it turned into this. If other people knew about this, it would be really embarrassing!

He doesn't want to be a comedian!

Fortunately, because of the alcohol, his complexion didn't change much.

Xiaoqi continued to comfort them.

"This is Bing-ge's own choice, we should be happy for him!"

Hearing this, Li Mingfei was stunned. Li Bing was dead, and they were supposed to be happy for Li Bing?

Xiao Qi clearly noticed Li Bing's confusion and immediately began to explain.

"Master, look, cultivators rush headlong into the path of a single goal, even though they ultimately die on the way."

"But he strived for this goal until his last breath, just like those monks who followed in his footsteps."

"Just like your father, he must have been striving towards a goal back then. If he had passed away halfway through, do you think he would have regretted it?"

Hearing this, Li Mingfei fell silent.

Despite his father becoming the Emperor of Jin, he is actually most proud of his experiences before he became the Prince of Jin!

Basically, whenever there's something to brag about, he'll bring it up, to the point that even his kids can recite it by heart, and they can even brag about it occasionally.

This alone is enough to show Emperor Jin's condition.

Just as Xiaoqi said, if he really died on the way to this goal, his father would not be sad at all, but rather very happy, because at least he had tried.

Thinking about this, his initial dizziness gradually subsided as his spiritual energy circulated. He slowly stood up, his face resolute.

"Xiao Qi, you're right. Although Brother Bing is dead, he died on the path he believed in. We should be happy for him!"

"Hmm, tomorrow I'll ask Brother Lu for some of Brother Bing's things. This time, we're going to make him a cenotaph and invite a dozen or so senior sisters from the Hehuan Sect to dance on his grave!"

"Brother Bing worked hard his whole life, I can't let him die before he's experienced happiness!"

"And I'm going to throw a three-day feast, so Brother Bing has to leave in a grand style!"

He spoke with unwavering determination!

However, when he came to find Lu Changfeng and told him about it, Lu Changfeng was also full of questions.

"Oh no, Li Bing isn't even at peace in death!"

"What a talent!"
