The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

The temple fair is very lively.

People brought their own incense and came to the Hemu Temple in the west of the city to burn incense and pray for blessings.

The golden body of the river mother is beautiful and charming, but no one dares to harbor ghosts.

A man and a woman, mixed in the crowd.

The man was tall and handsome, wearing a black robe with wide sleeves.

The woman wore a veil to cover her face, but she had a great figure.

The two people were naturally Prince Li Tianlei and Si Nian who was being influenced by the incense.

A fine golden vertical line appeared between Si Nian's eyebrows.

This is proof of the incense offerings.

"Miss Si Nian, how do you feel?" Li Tianlei asked curiously.

Si Nian shook his head.

She knew there was a change, but she couldn't put her finger on the feeling.

To this day, she still doesn't know how feasible the incense-burning method is.

"Forget it, let's walk around and have a look. As a prince, I rarely do this and have fun with the people." Li Tianlei said with a smile.

But as he spoke, he suddenly let out a light exclamation.

His eyes fell on a man and a woman walking side by side in the distance.

To be exact, it fell on the man.

Si Nian also followed his gaze and looked at the man, his expression paused.

Just during this meal.

Li Tianlei walked over quickly.

Si Nian frowned and followed immediately.

……

"Are you really not going in to worship?" Yang Xiuhua asked.

"No." Li Chang smiled and shook his head.

Yang Xiuhua was helpless and said, "Well, you wait here for me. I'll look around after I finish my worship."

After saying that, she waved her hand and walked towards the Hemu Temple.

As soon as she left, Si Nian and Li Tianlei came to Li Changxiao.

"Li..." Li Tianlei pointed at Li Changxiao and thought for a long time, but found that he could not remember the other person's name.

"Long laugh." Li Changxiao added with a smile.

"Oh, yes." Li Tianlei nodded repeatedly, "Li Changxiao."

Li Tianlei looked at Li Changxiao with a playful look, "If I remember correctly, you should still be wanted, right?"

"You remembered it right." Li Changxiao shrugged and said with a smile: "So what? Lingtian Dynasty can hardly protect itself, so how can it have the energy to deal with a small person like me?"

Immediately, Li Changxiao looked at Li Tianlei calmly and said, "Or, from the perspective of blood relationship, you, who can barely be considered my half-brother, will you not hesitate to sacrifice your own life to capture me back?"

The words fell.

Si Nian was slightly stunned and cast a puzzled look at Li Tianlei.

Li Tianlei smiled helplessly, "That's right, although I don't want to admit it, but Li... Changxiao is indeed my half-brother."

"But unfortunately, he is not allowed to enter the family tree. His name is just a random name."

"And I and my brothers were all given names by our father, the Tian generation."

Hearing this, Si Nian's gaze fell on Li Changxiao. Seeing that the latter's expression remained calm, she felt a little complicated.

Li Changxiao looked indifferent.

He was not a carefree person, but he was not at all interested in the family tree of the Lingtian Dynasty.

Li Tianlei didn't come here intentionally to show off his superiority, he just happened to see an old friend and was a little curious.

There was a commotion in the distance.

It was the patrolling soldiers who drove the refugees who had drifted here out of the temple fair.

The refugees were both old and young, and they were all wearing thin clothes in the cold winter.

Li Tianlei looked at this scene and said calmly: "Life is like a mayfly, with little luck and shallow fate."

Li Changxiao took a sip of wine and said, "I think, in the final analysis, it is your Lingtian Dynasty that is not good enough."

Li Tianlei looked over at once, his eyes sparkling with a sense of oppression from being in a high position for a long time.

Li Changxiao said bluntly, "The decline of the Lingtian Dynasty is inevitable."

"This immortal dynasty has been passed down for countless years. From the top to Li Shanhe who sits high in the palace, to you princes who hold power."

“Who knows how to govern a country?”

"How much do you understand about the system, legal principles, and people's livelihood? In the past, when spiritual energy was rich, strength represented everything. Even ordinary people who had never practiced could have a fourth or fifth level of Qi training."

"There were magical herbs everywhere in the wild, and the people didn't starve to death, but what about now?"

Li Changxiao's voice was flat.

It was unknown how much Li Tianlei had heard, and he shouted at Li Changxiao, "How dare you speak my father's name? What crime will you be punished for?"

Li Changxiao sneered, "That's your father. What? You want to punish him? Do you dare?"

His voice was dreamy.

It made Li Tianlei feel like he was having a dream, and the voice came from his dream.

Although Li Changxiao is only in the Nascent Soul stage.

But he was not afraid of Li Tianlei opposite him, because he knew these high and mighty princes too well.

Besides, if he couldn't win, he could always run away. He didn't care about the spiritual energy that others valued.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Of course, it was Li Tianlei who was angry, while Li Changxiao looked indifferent from beginning to end.

"Chang Xiao, can we talk?" At this time, Si Nian spoke.

She hesitated for a long time before uttering the word "long laugh".

Li Changxiao looked at Si Nian with a dull gaze, as if he were a stranger.

Whether it was Li Tianlei or Si Nian, it was difficult to cause ripples in his heart.

Si Nian did have a lot to say to Li Changxiao.

She felt that she should apologize no matter from what perspective.

In addition, after seeing Li Changxiao several times in succession, past memories surfaced and her heart was not completely stagnant.

But just then.

After burning incense, Yang Xiuhua shouted Li Changxiao's name, saying that there was a wishing well behind the temple and asked him to come over and make a wish.

Li Changxiao parted ways with the two and came to the wishing pool. There were crowds of people on both sides, all of whom came here to make wishes.

Yang Xiuhua wrote "May business get better and better next year" on a piece of paper, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and threw it into the wishing well.

Then, she tilted her head slightly and peeked at Li Changxiao's wish. Li Changxiao wrote "Have a good dream" on a piece of paper, stuffed it into the bamboo tube, and threw it into the wishing well.

Yang Xiuhua frowned and scolded Li Changxiao for having no ambition. She had thought that he would write about chivalrous deeds and bring peace to the world.

Li Chang smiled and replied that it had nothing to do with him and he couldn't do anything about it.

……

The temple fair was lively, so the two did not spend much time strolling around and hurried back to the Longlaixiang dining hall.

Li Changxiao was bored and counted the snowflakes by the window one by one.

Strong liquor enters the stomach.

He estimated.

I have to get in touch with Fu Tao's brother.

That's right.

The man who went out to participate in the construction of the temple that day was Fu Tao's younger brother Fu Ren.

Li Changxiao used his ability to control dreams and other abilities to lock onto him silently.

However, he never made contact.

Li Changxiao originally planned to just watch from afar.

Seeing that Fu Ren is still alive, I feel like I have fulfilled my promise.

There is no need to contact.

As for that drop of heart blood.

Li Changxiao has a hundred ways to achieve it silently.

Of course, he won't take it for free.

He could exchange it for a few glasses of wine and a few sweet dreams. For Fu Ren, it would definitely be a win-win situation.

However, just now, after returning from the temple fair, he changed his mind.
