The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

When Li Qingshan turned to the third page of the book, his hand stopped.

There was some oil stains on it, making some of the writing illegible, but Li Qingshan was still able to piece it together and make a lot of the content look complete.

That's why a slight sweat appeared on his brow—

"The fourth-generation legitimate daughter of the Wang family married into the Changning Marquis's mansion in the second year of ** and became the Marquis's concubine."

The following year, she gave birth to a daughter, named Xiao Ruohan. Ruohan's mother died of puerperal illness in the autumn of the seventh year, in a luxurious palace.

The fourth young lady, Xiao Ruohan's biological mother, has the surname Wang.

Of course, that's not important.

It seems there are no problems.

But the problem is:

Li Qingshan noticed a very small line of writing on the side, almost completely obscured by oil stains and printing errors:

"Descendants of our clan must not forget that, in order to survive in this chaotic world, our ancestors served as the Right Protector of the White Lotus Pure World Sect at the end of the previous dynasty."

Cultivating secret techniques, engaging in endless battles, incurring divine retribution, and having one's bloodline destroyed...

Later, he submitted to the current dynasty, and changed his surname to avoid trouble.

boom!!!

This passage was like a thunderbolt, yet also like a sudden awakening.

In an instant, the many thoughts in Li Qingshan's mind were brought together into a coherent line.

The cold sweat on his back instantly soaked his clothes.

They couldn't care about anything else.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qingshan quickly began to peruse everything recorded in the book.

He quickly flipped backward.

The following pages were covered by some oil stains.

However, one can more or less glean from between the lines how these texts record how the Wang family was gradually marginalized.

How could the imperial court discover the evil deeds he had committed in the past and thus secretly suppress him?

And how did they go from being a prominent family in Lin'an to eventually becoming merchants?

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, this so-called Wang clan should have already disappeared into history.

Otherwise, how could this family tree have appeared in the Tan family?

None of this mattered to Li Qingshan.

What he needs to know is everything about the Pure Land Sect, and everything he is currently encountering!

Turn to the end of this book.

Li Qingshan saw the last message record:

"The main house caught fire, and all property was lost. Although the entire clan of thirty-seven people survived by sheer luck, they were forced to live on the streets."

A woman went away to study and practice martial arts, hoping to protect her country. She went north, but her whereabouts are unknown...

Li Qingshan slowly closed the book and shut his eyes.

Try your best to organize all the information in your mind.

In his mind, all the fragments of information pieced together at that moment into a bold idea:

The family of Xiao Ruohan's mother, the fourth young lady, were members of the White Lotus Sect at the level of protectors, or at least of high status.

Subsequently, Xiao Ruohan's mother inherited the position of the Pure World Sect and went to the north, where she may have been associating with the Prince of Zhenbei and members of the royal family.

In the end, the Prince of Zhenbei was at a disadvantage, so the mother of the fourth young lady of the White Lotus Sect and a member of the royal family returned to the Central Plains.

However, for some unknown reason, the Marquis of Changning had to take the blame and bring the Fourth Miss's mother back to the Marquis of Changning's mansion.

Meanwhile, the fourth young lady, Xiao Ruohan, had already become pregnant during this process.

The reason her blood contained deadly poison was likely due to the Cleansing World Sect's doing? Or perhaps it was related to family bloodline issues recorded in the records?

This is uncertain; it's also possible that someone else was behind it to protect Miss Xiao Ruohan.

As a royal bodyguard, Granny Wang was responsible for monitoring Xiao Ruohan's surroundings. Of course, her role was not merely to monitor.

They might also be keeping an eye on the Prince of Zhenbei, or they might be keeping an eye on the people of the Jingshi Sect.

The reason I was able to survive in that blood might be because of the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra"?

The appearance of Qiu Meier now only shows that the Pure World Sect is becoming increasingly powerful and doesn't even care about the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, the Marquis of Changning, who was made a scapegoat, faked his death not only to avoid pressure from the royal family and the Prince of Zhenbei.

It's quite possible that this old tortoise simply doesn't want to confront the Purification Cult directly.

Why would Qiu Meier, the holy maid of the Pure World Sect and a vixen disguised as a young lady's maid, say that her opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster level was in the Changning Marquis's mansion?

There is only one answer:

"That vixen Qiu Meier doesn't need me, nor does she need any treasure from the Changning Marquis's treasury. She most likely needs the Fourth Miss, Xiao Ruohan."

For cults, using people to break through makes things seem much more normal.

Li Qingshan's brow twitched at this thought. He went to the window and gently tapped the windowpane with his finger.

"And I, as the most troublesome person in the Changning Marquis's mansion, slept with Xiao Ruohan and killed Granny Wang, who was used to monitor Xiao Ruohan."

"Now, the entire Changning Marquis's residence is in complete chaos, unbelievably chaotic, to the point that everyone thinks someone is disrespecting the rules of the game, is about to overturn the chessboard, and has chosen to make a move."

In the eyes of others, I am the representative of the force that took action.

Outrageous!

Li Qingshan looked into the distance.

The sky outside the window was completely dark, and only a few pedestrians could be seen coming and going on the street in the distance.

A slightly stuffy night breeze blew into the room through the window, carrying away all sorts of unpleasant smells.

Li Qingshan felt as if his legs were frozen in place, unable to move at all.

"I can't leave now! How did things turn out like this? I was waiting to run away at any moment."

Li Qingshan said in a low voice with a hint of helplessness.

If everyone's target is the Fourth Miss Xiao Ruohan, and the power she represents.

So, if Li Qingshan dares to leave the Marquis's residence and Lin'an City now,

The first to die would be Li Qingshan, and then all the forces that regained their senses would continue to tacitly maintain the balance.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people might get so angry that they would tear themselves to pieces during this process.

So, what should I do next?

Li Qingshan couldn't help but ask himself in a low voice.

"Unless I stir up this water, making it so muddy that even I might drown in it."

With this thought in mind, Li Qingshan turned around, took out paper and pen from the cabinet, and began to grind ink and write.

After a long while, Li Qingshan picked up the manuscript he had just written, blew on the inkstone to dry it, and put it in an envelope.

And this is how the letter begins—

"Officer Zhang, how have you been? I heard you're searching for someone; perhaps there are some clues inside Shuiyun Pavilion..."

Tomorrow morning, Li Qingshan will ensure that this letter reaches Zhang Yunbo, one of the Four Great Constables.

He had specially treated the handwriting on the letter, and even the paper, pen, and ink had been carefully altered.

All of this seems to be written by the manager of Shuiyun Pavilion, but the faint traces will lead this Constable Zhang to completely abandon Li Qingshan and report himself.

What could attract a constable more than merit?
