The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Li Qingshan eventually left the Fourth Miss's residence.

Before leaving, he racked his brains, even going so far as to provoke the mysterious masked man again.

Even so, the figure in his mind was unable to provide a solution to the problem of the Fourth Miss's bloodline.

Even the "White Lotus Secret Manual" cannot explain why the Fourth Miss Xiao Ruohan has such a strange bloodline.

There is no way to explain why others die from touching or smelling this blood, while Li Qingshan remains unaffected.

"Don't worry, Ruohan, I will definitely find a way to help you solve the problem in your bloodline and make you a normal person."

Before leaving, Li Qingshan gave Xiao Ruohan a tight hug, made a vow, and then disappeared from her sight.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruohan's delicate face immediately broke into a smile, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons.

It seemed that for the young girl, whether her bloodline returned to normal or not was not important; what mattered was that Li Qingshan cared about her.

"Wow, Li Qingshan is gone again. It seems I need to speed up my cultivation. From now on, I want Li Qingshan to stay with me and not go looking for other little fox spirits."

Slightly annoyed, Xiao Ruohan sat cross-legged next to the hidden compartment and began to circulate her cultivation.

However, her cultivation movements and postures were exactly the same as those in the "White Lotus Secret Manual" in Li Qingshan's mind.

Even the white aura emanating from the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra" lingered around Xiao Ruohan.

……

The backyard of the Marquis's residence.

Looking at the people around him with a face full of despair, Li Hao's eyes were filled with fear and shock.

The barbarian king Anjunshan was wearing a suit of armor made of cold iron. His aura was extremely violent, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

He pointed at Li Hao and asked the wrinkled old butler beside him:

"You mean this kid is from the same hometown as Li Qingshan? I don't see anything special about him. Are you trying to fool us?"

The remaining people also looked at the old butler at this moment, their eyes filled with undisguised inquiry and suspicion.

The old butler, hunched over with his hands tucked into his armpits, looked shrewd and calculating. After glancing at Li Hao, he spoke casually.

"That's right, this lad is from the same hometown as Li Qingshan. As far as I know, Li Qingshan once specifically sought him out and even taught him martial arts techniques."

From this perspective, Li Hao still holds considerable significance for Li Qingshan; all it takes is to spread the word, and people will come.

At this point, the old butler paused, his somewhat cloudy eyes scanning the crowd before asking an even more crucial question.

"Besides... as you all know, Li Qingshan isn't at Tiantong Academy anymore, right? Besides this method, what other way is there to get him to show up?"

The group looked at each other, naturally unable to answer. They had considered other methods, but none of them could come up with a solution.

After all, Li Qingshan was just a servant, and apart from the young ladies in the Changning Marquis's mansion, he seemed to have no one else on his good side.

We can't just kidnap those young ladies from the Marquis of Changning's mansion and force Li Qingshan to come forward, can we?

This sounds rather ridiculous.

"Alright, I agree to this. I'll wait here and see when Li Qingshan will show up."

At this point, Barbarian King Anjunshan plopped down in the courtyard, smashing several pieces of the bluestone floor.

The crowd had various expressions as they stared at each other, seemingly waiting for Li Qingshan to appear.

Qiu Meier, the holy maiden of the Pure World Sect, waved her hand, as if she didn't care about any of this.

"Then you uncouth people can wait here. I'm returning to the palace. I hope you can bring me some surprises."

As she spoke, Qiu Meier gave everyone a flirtatious wink, not even sparing the old steward.

Barbarian King Anjunshan curled his lip, his face full of disgust.

"That vixen will die by my hand one day. She's clearly part of a cult, yet she's so brazen. If she doesn't die, who will?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's brows immediately relaxed a bit.

……

Tiantong Academy.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the Marquis of Changning's residence, Li Qingshan repeated his previous actions, returning to Tiantong Academy without anyone noticing.

He was currently walking on a rather remote path.

It was already evening, and a slight breeze was blowing, rustling the leaves of the surrounding trees.

In the distance, you can still see a few students, some hurrying along, others with joyful expressions.

Li Qingshan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, feeling refreshed and invigorated, with a continuous flow of medicinal power within him boosting his cultivation.

In a great mood, he looked around at everything, finding it all so harmonious and comfortable.

Even the old man sweeping the floor in front of me seemed more pleasing to the eye.

"Interesting. I didn't expect you to break through your cultivation level so quickly after leaving. It seems you must have gained quite a few benefits outside."

Just as Li Qingshan passed by the old man, the old man spoke with emotion.

Boom!

These words were like a shooting star streaking across the sky, or a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Li Qingshan's true energy erupted instantly, and he stared intently at the old man, his eyes filled with inquiry.

No cultivation level?

His breathing was extremely calm?!

In an instant, Li Qingshan realized that this was just the other party trying to mislead him. But what was the other party's cultivation level? What kind of power did they possess?

Could this old man be the true powerhouse hidden within the entire Tiantong Academy, or even within the entire Tiantong Academy of Lin'an City?

The old man's cloudy eyes and hunched back seemed to know exactly what Li Qingshan was thinking. His words rang in Li Qingshan's ears once more.

"Young man, don't even think about it. Actually, I didn't pay attention to you at first. After all, your cultivation is too weak. Although it's not bad in the Tiantong Academy, if you were outside, you would be nothing more than an ant."

What truly surprised me was that you were able to evade everyone's surveillance and leave the academy. It seems you have many secrets.

The old man casually tossed the broom aside, looking at Li Qingshan with a broad smile, his wrinkles seemingly squeezing into deep tunnels.

Then, he sat on the head of the stone lion next to him, his whole body in a very flat and even stance, as if he were in a horse stance.

"Could this be that unparalleled master, the one constantly being praised by the storytellers on the overpass, who's so unrestrained and unconventional?"

Despite his confusion, Li Qingshan did not intend to give up on escaping; however, he inexplicably felt that he was being targeted.

Run? Of course, running away was out of the question, so he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"To be honest, I have some skill in escaping."
