Chapter 532: Chapter 249 Rupture_3

Li Tianqing waited quietly until he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside, accompanied by a loud laugh, "Tianqing, when did you find the time to come to Qingzhou?"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Tianqing sighed, stood up, and his expression turned somber.

The Wan Family, indeed, was the property of the Li Family from Quanzhou.

"Tianqing pays respect to Thirteenth Uncle!" he bowed deeply.

A middle-aged man entered the light of the Chunshan Pavilion, quickly stepped forward, and supported him, laughing, "You are quite the celebrity in our Li Family. The family ancestor has repeatedly said he wants to put you to good use. Come, stand up quickly!"

Li Tianqing stood up.

That middle-aged man belonged to the main lineage of the Li Family of Quanzhou, ranked thirteenth, named Li Xiaoguang, and he was also a person with real authority.

Li Tianqing respectfully invited Li Xiaoguang to take a seat before sitting down himself.

Li Xiaoguang glanced at him and laughed, "I heard from the steward of the Wan residence that you met with Master Wan also to discuss the Elixir of Immortality? This matter was clearly my responsibility to run errands for, when did our family ancestor send you here?"

He smiled slightly and said, "I also arrived at the Wan Family today. I heard that you have stirred up quite a commotion in Qingzhou, killing several important officials. Ah, you should ease the family ancestor’s worries. The Elixir of Immortality is meant for our Grand Ancestor; you should not pry into it. Once this matter is settled, I will take you back to Quanzhou."

Li Tianqing couldn’t help but say, "Uncle Thirteen, tell me the truth, is the Wan Family owned by our Li Family?"

Li Xiaoguang burst into laughter, shook his head, and said, "Do you think that our Li Family could pull off something like this in Qingzhou without the other twelve families skinning us alive?"

He extended a finger, tapped the table, and laughed, "All thirteen families have a share; this prevents any chaos. Qingzhou’s medicine field is the property of our Thirteen Families, and it also maintains the foundation of my Thirteen Families. Without the Qingzhou Medicine Field, the Grand Ancestor, the ancestor, and the family ancestor would have likely exhausted their lifespan long ago, and the Li Family would lack nearly half of its foundation. How could it continue to prosper without the presence of these great Mahayana figures? Wouldn’t the world descend into chaos?"

Li Tianqing’s face turned pale.

Li Xiaoguang stood up and said, "Now, the medicine emissaries of the Thirteen Families are all at the Wan residence. I will take the blame for the trouble you caused. However, the affairs of Qingzhou must not be divulged."

He walked toward the outside of the Chunshan Pavilion and said, "You should leave first thing tomorrow morning. Forget everything that happened here. When you go to the capital to take the exams, I will have the family head help you out. You probably can’t be the top scorer, as it has been pre-arranged, but you can still make second or third. I was young once, too, and I know you have some unrealistic fantasies in your mind, but you ultimately must return to reality."

Li Tianqing sat in his chair, unmoving, and did not see him off.

Li Xiaoguang’s expression turned cold as he stood outside the pavilion and said indifferently, "Tonight, your accomplice will come to cause trouble at the Wan residence. The Wan residence is fully prepared. You must not leave the Chunshan Pavilion, stepping out would mean betraying the Li Family! It would mean becoming an enemy of the Thirteen Families! I do not wish for the Li Family to lose a first-grade divine fetus. Tianqing, never forget, you have always been a member of the Li Family! Understand?"

Li Tianqing’s face became even more pallid, and his voice hoarse, "Tianqing understands."

Li Xiaoguang left.

A long time passed before Li Tianqing moved slightly, blinked his eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

"This Li Family, like the other families, has become as corrupt as the Evil Spirit!"

He stood up, walking painfully toward the outside, each step as though he was carrying the weight of five sacred mountains.

Finally, he reached the door of the Chunshan Pavilion, lifted his foot—if he took this step, he would become a traitor to the Li Family of Quanzhou!

"Staying inside the pavilion, Chunshan might be insubstantial, but my Qing outfit is upright, true to my heart!"

He gritted his teeth and stepped out of the Chunshan Pavilion!

With that step, the immense burden felt as if it had flown off his shoulders, making him wish to play the zither and howl to relieve his chest!

"I cannot let Chen Shi risk his life!"

He stormed out with a murderous aura and immediately saw a servant walking towards him, head down, carrying a tray. freēNovelFire.com

"The tricks of the Wan Family, still trying to kill me?"

Li Tianqing’s eyes flashed with fierce light, and as he stepped in front of the servant prepared to kill, the servant lifted his head and smiled, "Tianqing, I’ve come to bring you the God of Wealth."

Li Tianqing was taken aback, only to see that the servant was actually Chen Shi and that on the tray was a miniature courtyard!

It was getting late.

Midnight was approaching.

Emperor Guan would ride with his sword at midnight, slaughtering the greedy officials, slaying the Evil Spirits, exterminating the powerful, patrolling the underworld, and smashing all evil!

Li Tianqing closed his eyes and fell into slumber.

In his dream, the sound of horses’ hooves came from the underworld, growing closer and closer!

Li Tianqing rolled over, mounted the horse.

Sword incoming!
