The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Meanwhile, the White Lotus Pure World Cult began searching for the person who stole the Nine-Turn White Deer Ginseng.

The entire city of Lin'an was once again stirred by an invisible hand, with powerful figures constantly appearing and others hiding in the shadows.

However, all of this had no effect on Li Qingshan, who had just returned to Tiantong Academy.

A gentle breeze was blowing all around, swaying the willows and stirring their buds.

In the distance, students were discussing poetry with each other, having a great time. Some of them, with pale faces, were clearly old, yet they were laughing loudly and wildly.

There were several such things, but instead of the Master stopping them, he even joked about them from the side.

"Haha, Brother Li, your poem is not as good as mine. You should drink this cup."

"Not at all, you flatter me. I was just struck by inspiration. You will all surpass me in the future."

"Perhaps we can also become teachers at Tiantong Academy, and then we can gather here again someday and have another drink."

Everyone burst into laughter again, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

It was as if the events about to unfold in the entire city of Lin'an had no impact on these people, and didn't even affect them.

However, after watching for a while, Li Qingshan slowly walked towards his own courtyard. He could already feel several gazes fixed on him.

Moreover, these people are quite powerful; the strongest is very likely a grandmaster, or at least close.

"It seems that the entire city of Lin'an is more complicated than I imagined. Someone has already stepped forward, and I guess the next step will be to directly eliminate the White Lotus Forbidden Master Sect. After all, this evil sect has been quite high-profile lately. I just don't know if I will be implicated."

Upon realizing this, Li Qingshan couldn't help but frown. He hadn't forgotten the time he killed the royal guards.

Some things, if you don't weigh them, you won't find much at all.

Once you're valued, there's no end to the praise you can give.

If these so-called masters or even stronger individuals also consider me an evil person from the White Lotus Cult and kill me casually, then I'll have nowhere to turn for help.

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan paused slightly and headed directly into the depths of Tiantong Academy.

He's been here for so long, but he hasn't actually visited many of the Tiantong Academy's addresses.

On one hand, there is Liu Ziming, this teacher who intends to guide me so that I don't need to deal with too much with others.

On the other hand, Li Qingshan understood that he needed to keep a low profile for the time being, so he was not affected.

However, the next thing I need to do requires me to use someone else's resources to my advantage, so I need to get inside Tiantong Academy.

After passing through layers of artificial mountains and circling around for dozens of feet, Li Qingshan finally passed through the place where the students had just gathered.

Occasionally, a servant or guard would look up at Li Qingshan, see the clothes on his body and the waist tag hanging from his waist, and then lower their heads again, no longer looking at him.

Occasionally, students would hurry by, but upon seeing Li Qingshan's attire, their eyes would reveal an unspeakable envy before they disappeared into the distance.

"Master, please wait!"

Just then, a servant dressed in a green robe ran over, his eyes filled with envy and sincerity, and said in a low voice.

"I noticed you've been walking for quite a while, as if you're looking for somewhere, so I came to give you directions."

Li Qingshan nodded and then stated his purpose.

"I've come to see an elderly man who sweeps the floor. I had a conversation with him before and have some idea of ​​what's going on, so I'm requesting an audience."

These servants all serve the master and are constantly coming and going in this area. So asking them or giving them the answers will help you get to your destination.

Li Qingshan had asked Liu Ziming about this when they were chatting.

"An old man sweeping the floor?!"

The servant was taken aback at first, then lowered his head and whispered something.

"Master, you can't say such things lightly. The one you mentioned is very likely a powerful figure who lives in seclusion at our Tiantong Academy. Even the Dean has to treat him with utmost respect."

Moreover, that person has a somewhat eccentric temperament, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so you'd better be respectful.

The servant was afraid that Li Qingshan was unruly, so after saying these words, he immediately lowered his head and dared not look at Li Qingshan, as if he had never said anything.

"It's alright, you can just recommend me."

Li Qingshan waved his hand and then gestured for the other party to lead the way.

Seeing that Li Qingshan was still in the same state, the servant sighed inwardly and hurriedly led the way respectfully.

soon.

After passing through several artificial rockery paths paved with pebbles, Li Qingshan saw an old man dressed in white sweeping the floor, playing chess with him.

However, the old man was not dressed in his usual coarse clothes today. Instead, he moved gracefully and seemed to be deep in thought.

The servant didn't dare to go forward and disturb them, but gestured with his eyes that Li Qingshan should also wait there.

Li Qingshan was not in a hurry, nor did he intend to disturb the senior's interest.

After all, he wasn't a fool. He also understood how to respect a strong person.

This wait lasted for half a day.

During this time, the old man who was playing chess with him never looked at Li Qingshan. Instead, he would sometimes laugh and sometimes get angry.

Immersed in this chessboard, I found it hard to extricate myself, and even felt somewhat ethereal.

Only after he finished his last move with the black piece did he let out a long sigh, throw the white piece into the chess box, and ask Li Qingshan a question with his back turned.

"What, your strength has increased so quickly, are you planning to show off to this old man?"

Upon hearing this, the servant nearly collapsed to his knees.

He knelt down on the ground with a pleading look on his face, and quickly looked at Li Qingshan, hoping that the other party could be as humble as he was.

But Li Qingshan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and then spoke earnestly.

"I dare not. Compared to you, senior, my cultivation is but a star. How could I dare to compete with the bright moon?"

I have come here today only to earnestly request your guidance and insight, senior. I would be eternally grateful and willing to serve you with utmost loyalty.

Upon hearing this, the senior waved his hand, and the servant who was kneeling on the ground was suddenly pulled away several feet out of thin air.

Such miraculous skill truly startled the servant, but he was also very clever. After kneeling in gratitude, he quickly disappeared from the scene.

After completing all this, the old man looked calmly at Li Qingshan and said without any pretense:

"You're quite clever, kid. You knew I needed your help, so you seized the opportunity. But don't you realize how much trouble this is for you, even for me?"

Li Qingshan nodded, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, but with a sense of determination.

"I know, but I need your help, senior, so I must make some sacrifices. I hope you will grant my request. I will be eternally grateful."
