The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

"No, the Marquis's mansion has a deep and powerful foundation. Could it be that no one could have foreseen this day and laid the groundwork for it?"

Li Qingshan quickly broke free from the allure of her comforting embrace and posed a profound question.

As Liu Ruyan got up and straightened her clothes, she carefully explained to her lover.

"Of course there is a way. The remaining young ladies and wives all returned to their own families and started making arrangements."

Unfortunately, their voices carried little weight, and having lost the Marquis's mansion, they were powerless to make any decisions.

Even worse, some wanted to wait until the Marquis's mansion fell from grace to get a share of the spoils.

Li Qingshan understood, and then subtly thought of the First Madam.

The woman was very well-maintained, of noble status, and even had royal blood. She was attractive at first glance, and upon further reflection, she was even more captivating—and this lady certainly wished for the Marquis's mansion to collapse.

Why should a member of the royal family uphold so-called chastity for a dead prince?

"Alright, stop thinking nonsense. With me here, although I can't guarantee your cultural wealth and status, I can at least ensure your survival in this disaster. Just don't get involved with that third young lady."

Liu Ruyan left, and the faint scent of roses still lingered in the air, but her words echoed in Li Qingshan's ears.

"It seems this third young lady is plotting something truly momentous!"

Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes and began to ponder, but then he abandoned many of his plans.

who cares.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!

The most important thing now is to gather Yin energy and quickly break through to the True Qi Realm.

Then you can properly enjoy this joss paper!

As for the deposit given by the Ninth Prince!?

It's just enough to buy one, how could you possibly have all of them?

As for the rest, it's perfectly normal for them to be lost due to insect infestation, rodent damage, dampness, or simply because they get wet. Why bother to investigate further?

Furthermore, it remains to be seen whether the Marquis's mansion will still exist after this memorial day ends.

……

The young lady's residence.

At this moment, the young lady lay on the bed with a pale face and furrowed brows, her firm breasts trembling with each breath.

If Li Qingshan were here, he would definitely be able to see that the young lady's yin energy was too strong, to the point that her yang energy was on the verge of being extinguished.

Although most people in this world cultivate according to Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, if the Yang energy is too thin, it only means that the person's vitality is becoming increasingly weak.

"Damn it, why do I feel my power getting weaker and weaker the longer I practice the Yin-Yang Great Joy Technique?"

Moreover, as I progress in this realm, I crave even more yang energy…

With her face pale and lips colorless, Xiao Ruoxue suddenly had a figure appear in her mind.

He is masculine, handsome, and can provide himself with a lot of yang energy.

"Damn it, if it weren't for those bitches blocking my way, I would have already escaped this situation..."

Xiao Tao stood outside the courtyard, trembling as she listened to the sounds coming from inside.

Even though she was just a maid, she could sense that the young lady was becoming increasingly twisted, and even her usually proud wisdom had diminished considerably.

"This can't go on any longer. That Yin-Yang Taoist is really plotting something..."

"Miss, Xiaotao is so sorry..."

……

Inside Lin'an City.

The sun was shining brightly at that moment. Li Qingshan looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and couldn't help but stretch and move his body.

And you know what? As his strength grows, he's becoming increasingly able to gain the upper hand.

He could even fight the young lady at this moment.

"Next, we should meet the young lady. I just don't know how far the Purification Sect has pushed Qi."

As Li Qingshan put on his clothes, he thought of Qin Ligong and Chen Liang.

Previously, the two had promised him a so-called "blood pill" and freedom from his lowly status in order to lure him onto their pirate ship.

They even went so far as to reveal important information to Li Qingshan, telling him that there were actually several real experts of the Pure World Sect inside the Marquis of Changning's mansion.

Qin Ligong and Chen Liang were merely peripheral followers, unable to cause any real trouble.

It's even possible that the person who came to investigate Li Qingshan's strength yesterday was the same one from the Marquis of Changning's mansion.

"Could it be someone from the steward's household, or perhaps one of the ladies' personal guards? Otherwise, how could there be such a powerful figure in the Changning Marquis's residence?"

Li Qingshan was still pondering.

He then greeted Wu Ziming and told him to take good care of the shop before turning a corner and heading towards the Marquis of Changning's residence, enjoying the local delicacies along the way.

He is now the manager of Shuiyun Pavilion, and is highly regarded by many young ladies and wives.

Therefore, no one stopped him when he returned to the Marquis of Changning's residence, and many servants even treated him with great respect.

Many servants volunteered to work for Li Qingshan.

However, Li Qingshan blocked all of this.

Having finally settled Wu Ziming, this nuclear-powered donkey, how could he possibly attract other spies into Shuiyun Pavilion?

Moreover, this is a turbulent time.

"Great, Li Qingshan, you've finally arrived!"

Xiao Tao, who was rushing anxiously towards the outside of the Marquis of Changning's residence, seemed to have seen her savior and directly stopped Li Qingshan.

"Oh, it's Sister Tao. What brings you here?"

Li Qingshan looked at the maid in front of him with a half-smile, his tone neither calm nor indifferent.

After all, the relationship between myself and the other party wasn't exactly good.

And the other party is very likely a spy planted in the Changning Marquis's mansion by the Jingshi Sect, so why should Li Qingshan maintain too much respect?

"Come with me quickly, the young lady needs you right now!"

Xiao Tao looked anxious, completely ignoring Li Qingshan's current situation, and even emphasized the word "need" in her wording.

"So you are Li Qingshan?"

Just then, an elderly man with a clean-shaven face and slightly ruddy complexion slowly approached from a distance.

However, with each step this old man took, he exuded immense power, as if he were a peerless grandmaster, and the guards following behind him were all extremely strong.

Li Qingshan examined it briefly, then frowned.

Because these guards had all reached the peak of internal energy cultivation, their movements were almost identical to those of Wang Biao, who had died earlier.

"My name is Li Qingshan. May I ask what instruction you may offer, Lord Zhang?"

Li Qingshan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

It was as if he were talking to a friend, or perhaps discussing the day's weather.

Indeed, the visitor was none other than Lord Zhang, the old eunuch guarding the treasury of the Marquis of Changning's mansion.

Inside the Changning Marquis's residence, very few people actually knew the old eunuch's name anymore.

Even if someone knew the old eunuch's name, they would respectfully address him as Lord Zhang.

"Good, very good. Wang Biao was originally going to become my godson, but I didn't expect you to kill him. Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!"
