The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

"Come on, Brother Li, what are you looking at?!"

Liu Ziming, who was walking ahead, seemed to sense something and couldn't help but turn around to look.

Then he saw Li Qingshan standing at the entrance of Tiantong Academy, looking at him with a half-smile.

The smile was full of mockery, as if it were a ridicule, or a silent declaration.

"Looks like you've figured it out!"

Liu Zishan's smile vanished instantly, and he stared coldly at Li Qingshan, his gaze icy and filled with murderous intent.

"Yeah, I must have figured it out, otherwise why would I have played along with your act for so long?"

Li Qingshan stood casually under the shade of a tree, quietly observing what else Liu Ziming could perform.

But Liu Ziming's expression gradually returned to calm, as if he were chatting casually with a friend.

"When did you find out? I thought everything I did was flawless, and even the other teachers couldn't have discovered it so quickly."

Li Qingshan shook his head, looking up into the distance as if waiting for something. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"You did nothing wrong, you were just too hasty, too eager for me to leave Tiantong Academy. You know, I specifically entered Tiantong Academy to escape for my life."

"Furthermore, you're being too enthusiastic. Everyone in the world knows that I, Li Qingshan, am just a mere servant. How could I possibly be favored by such a spoiled brat?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziming's face instantly contorted with rage, as if he had been deeply insulted. He glared fiercely at Li Qingshan and spoke each word with venom.

"I never expected you to remember that you were just a lowly servant. What merit do you have to be worthy of being teachers alongside us?!"

Although I can't send you to the Marquis's residence today, be careful; there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with you in the future.

After saying that, Liu Ziming ignored Li Qingshan's thoughts, waved his sleeves, and strode towards Manxianglou.

"Want to leave? I'm afraid things aren't as simple as you think."

Li Qingshan shook his head and then headed directly towards his villa.

Behind Liu Ziming, several people had appeared and surrounded him. However, these people had calm expressions, as if they were only there to trap him, not to hurt him.

Long afterward, Liu Ziming's voice could still be heard on the wind.

"Damn it, Li Qingshan, get your ass over here!!"

……

After leaving the gate, Li Qingshan did not return directly to his own residence.

Instead, he directly summoned Qianqian and had her check that there was no one else spying on him. Then, he transformed into a shooting star and jumped over the wall, leaving Tiantong Academy.

Then, Li Qingshan strode towards the Changning Marquis's residence.

Throughout his journey, he avoided deserted areas to evade anyone who might try to spy on him, while simultaneously seeking an opportunity to enter the Changning Marquis's residence and obtain the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng.

……

the other side.

Upon receiving the news, Guo Xiaotian immediately slipped away.

He had no time to continue fooling around with Qiu Meier at Xiangmanlou.

"Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng, this is an incredible opportunity! As long as I find the Marquis and force him into submission, I will surely obtain this precious medicine!"

Guo Xiaotian's mind was racing, and a smile appeared on his face without him even noticing.

This is an opportunity, an incredible opportunity, one that cannot be missed under any circumstances.

"Haha, my son is truly my lucky star!"

Guo Xiaotian was laughing inwardly, completely oblivious to why his son had suddenly received this news.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming joy that enraged him, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but at this moment he only wanted to get to Shuiyun Pavilion as quickly as possible.

Qiu Meier did not linger there, as a servant soon came to report.

"Holy Maiden, Li Qingshan was not fooled. After scolding Liu Ziming, he returned to the academy and did not come out."

Liu Ziming was surrounded, seemingly by people sent by Guo Qingyuan…

Upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Qiu Meier's beautiful eyes as she looked to her left.

A grandmaster-level expert should appear there—Guo Xiaotian!

But now the place is not only empty, but even the aura lock has disappeared.

The remaining powerful members of the Pure World Sect also jumped out from their hiding places at this moment, looking at Qiu Meier with different expressions.

"Holy Maiden, could it be that Guo Xiaotian betrayed our Holy Sect, which is why such a change has occurred?"

"I think it's possible. That old scoundrel thinks he's broken through to the Grandmaster level, so he's always arrogant and maliciously defies us. We must take him down and suppress him!"

"In my opinion, there must be some hidden story here. After all, those people were just Victor Liu Zimo and he didn't kill him. There is probably another reason."

Hearing these words, Qiu Meier's angry face did not show much emotion.

He clapped his hands lightly, and a figure emerged from the shadows, respectfully announcing Guo Xiaotian's whereabouts:

"Just now, Master Guo used his lightness skill to leave quickly. Judging from his location, it seems that he went to Shuiyun Pavilion."

We've already sent people to investigate, but it will take quite a while before we get any news. After all, the power of a Grandmaster is beyond our reach for the time being...

Shuiyun Pavilion?!

The people present looked at each other, seemingly not expecting that Guo Xiaotian's absence at this time was for this very reason.

"If I remember correctly, Li Qingshan is the manager of Shuiyun Pavilion. Could there be some connection here?"

Finally, someone broke the silence and asked a question, but the voice was neither male nor female, and was unusually hoarse, which was unsettling.

"In my opinion, let's go and see what Guo Dong is up to. Instead of waiting here, we should go and see for ourselves."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and each saw the emotion in the other's eyes.

Some things can't be said directly...

Guo Xiaotian was willing to abandon this mission to go to Shuiyun Pavilion, hoping there might be some treasures there. If they could obtain them or even just enjoy a good meal, perhaps their cultivation could advance further?

Even if all else fails, we can't let Guo Xiaotian devour that treasure all by himself!

"Walk!"

Qiu Meier made her decision, and her whole body transformed into a rosy cloud as she rushed directly towards Shuiyun Pavilion.

His lightness skill was superb; he could step on the eaves and bricks of the roof and appear dozens of meters away in just a few breaths.

The remaining few also used their own special skills, moving at an incredible speed, and left Manxianglou in the blink of an eye.

Only a few servants were left to clean up the mess and deal with some odds and ends.

As for Liu Ziming?!

Nobody cared about this guy. His mission had failed, and besides, he wasn't in any danger, so why bother with him?

At this juncture, the greatest benefit lies in Master Guo's opportunity!

Everything else, we'll talk about that later!
