The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

"As long as you're a good person to me, that's enough, isn't it?"

Xiao Ruohan turned her head to look at Li Qingshan, her face beaming with a smile.

At this moment, the girl seemed to have completely forgotten the pain she had suffered over the years, and only wanted to have a clear-headed conversation with someone here.

Li Qingshan smiled slightly, putting the jealous old woman beside him to his heart.

at last.

The sky was getting light, and the setting sun once again hung above the clouds, turning large swathes of clouds a deep red.

Gazing at the sunset, Xiao Ruohan suddenly stood up and asked with some curiosity.

"Li Qingshan, what do you think is on the other side of the sunset?"

Li Qingshan also stood up and looked into the distance, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"It's a land under another sky, perhaps with endless mountains, or maybe a vast ocean... or perhaps, another noble family's residence!"

When Xiao Ruohan heard about mountains and seas, her eyes began to ripple, but when she heard about the Marquis's mansion, the ripples in her eyes disappeared instantly.

Grandma Wang leaned closer and whispered:

"Miss, it's getting late."

Xiao Ruohan felt a little lonely, but still said goodbye to Li Qingshan.

However, Li Qingshan's actions startled everyone.

He pulled Xiao Ruohan into his arms and patted her shoulder with a smile:

"I'll find you to play again next time and tell you other little stories."

Xiao Ruohan's earlobes and face were red from the wind, but she still nodded and agreed.

Then, she struggled free and ran towards her room without looking back.

Li Qingshan gently inhaled the lingering fragrance in the air; it was faint, like gardenias in bloom, or perhaps a scent he had never heard of before.

Grandma Wang approached, her eyes cold and somewhat frightening. A murderous intent was etched on her wrinkled face, and her lips, as hard as rotten wood, moved slightly.

"Li Qingshan, I have thoroughly investigated your background. Don't think that just because you have the favor of the eldest and third young ladies, you can do anything out of line."

You're nothing but a dog in this manor. Keep what happened today to yourself, or I'll gouge out your eyes and cut off your tongue.

Li Qingshan smiled faintly, did not reply, and headed directly out of the Marquis's residence.

If it weren't for the Marquis of Changning's miraculous resurrection, and the fact that the other party's whereabouts were unpredictable, it would have been a different story.

How could Li Qingshan possibly leave here so early?

As for Granny Wang's threat?

In Li Qingshan's view, this was nothing but nonsense. How could a mere early stage True Qi Realm cultivator threaten him?

If it weren't for the fact that she had taken such good care of Xiao Ruohan for so long, Li Qingshan would have already figured out how to be a mature grandmother.

……

The residence of the Fourth Miss.

The candlelight flickered and danced like a shadow.

Xiao Ruohan sat by the candlelight, examining her reflection in the bronze mirror.

The night was as dark as ink, but Xiao Ruohan's words were like knives:

"Grandma Wang, are you ready to kill Li Qingshan?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang, who was standing to the side with her head down, seemingly lost in thought, trembled slightly.

After a long while, a sentence slowly uttered from that aged face:

"Miss, it's not that this old servant is heartless, but this matter is of utmost importance, and he is merely a servant, completely unworthy to..."

Before Granny Wang could finish speaking, Xiao Ruohan interrupted her with cold words:

"I don't care what you think, I know I need Li Qingshan very much. If he doesn't live, I feel I can hardly live."

This……

A complex expression flickered across Granny Wang's face, as if she were pitying the fourth young lady, but then she returned to her previous ruthless state.

Xiao Ruohan closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

……

As Li Qingshan walked, he recited the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra".

A white lotus is blooming in his mind, becoming more and more real and sacred.

At the same time, the true energy within Li Qingshan's body began to move as if it were his own arm. With the slight movement of his fingers, strands of energy continuously solidified from the illusory.

"No wonder the 'Secret Essentials of True Qi' mentions that after reaching the True Qi Realm, one must temper one's spiritual power."

Only in this way can one's power become as responsive as an extension of one's own arm, and avoid the inability to exert full force after increasing one's cultivation level.

This principle is actually easy for Li Qingshan to understand, just like the many weapons he used in his previous life.

If there is no other way, one should try to understand the underlying logic and fully master how to use this weapon.

So let alone using this weapon to kill someone, it might even lead to the embarrassing situation of being killed by the weapon itself.

Today, while chatting with Xiao Ruohan and gathering information about the Marquis's mansion, Li Qingshan unexpectedly discovered that his mental energy was unusually active.

Even the Pure White Lotus Mantra was running at lightning speed at this moment.

Although he was a little confused as to why this situation had occurred,

But Li Qingshan still chose to enjoy this feeling.

only……

"That old guy is getting annoying; he even tried to kill me. Looks like I need to find a chance to get rid of him."

Li Qingshan thought to himself calmly.

He didn't care what this so-called Granny Wang was really thinking. Since she had murderous intent and was blocking his way, then she had to die.

At this moment, Li Qingshan seemed to understand why Qiu Meier had asked him to hand over the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra".

Perhaps in Qiu Meier's mind, Li Qingshan was just like her, a lawless and wicked man.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Just as Li Qingshan turned a corner and was about to return to Shuiyun Pavilion along the alley, three loud explosions rang out in the air.

There were three stones, each about the size of a finger, aimed at his forehead, chest, and abdomen, respectively.

Its speed was astonishing, and it also contained a bit of force.

It was clear that a special technique was used to make these three stones even harder to dodge.

However, Li Qingshan was extremely perceptive. As a top soldier, he was naturally wary of everything around him.

The instant he sensed the malice and as three stones hurtled towards him, Li Qingshan slightly shifted his body to the left to dodge.

He then kicked a stone on the side of the street, sending it hurtling towards the source of the sound.

Boom!

As the sound of stones hitting the wall echoed, a figure hidden in the shadows slowly emerged, carrying a slightly decaying smell.

"Li Qingshan, I never expected that a servant as lowly as a pig or a dog could possess such strength. It seems that the Third Miss's favor towards you is well-deserved."

It's a pity you shouldn't have provoked the Fourth Miss; her status is far too precious for you to possibly have any respect for.

As Grandma Wang spoke, she slowly approached Li Qingshan.

A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, as if she were jealous of Li Qingshan's strength, or as if she were jealous of Li Qingshan and Xiao Ruohan.

But Li Qingshan didn't care about any of that. He reached for his waist and thrust his broken sword directly at Granny Wang.

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me must die!
