Emperor Qiankun

Yue Qing Huan walked closer with light lotus steps, but did not directly answer Li Qing Yuan's question.

Instead, her beautiful eyes moved as she looked around and asked softly, "Is she... gone?"

Li Qingyuan nodded at first, then he remembered that it was Yue Qinghuan who informed her family of Su Yaoyue's whereabouts, causing her to leave;

Suddenly, I felt annoyed and couldn't help but frown and asked:

"Ms. Yue, why on earth did you do this? Don't you know that this will put her in a dilemma?"

Faced with Li Qingyuan's questioning, Yue Qinghuan's delicate body trembled slightly, but she regained her composure in just a moment.

She raised her head slightly, looking into the distance, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and then she said lightly:

"Uncle Su and Aunt Su haven't seen her for a long time and miss her terribly. I was just doing a favor and didn't mean any harm."

......

When Li Qingyuan heard her words, his anger suddenly rose up, and he said coldly:

"Miss Yue, you didn't come here just for this matter, did you? If there is nothing else, please go back."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan subconsciously glanced at Old Hua.

Mr. Hua also realized that his presence here seemed a bit of an eyesore.

He cleared his throat, laughed dryly, and said:

"Okay, old man, I won't bother you anymore."

As he spoke, he stood up swiftly and walked slowly away into the distance.

Yue Qinghuan just opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something, but saw that Old Hua had turned back.

Elder Hua walked a few steps closer to Li Qingyuan, his expression slightly serious, and he said seriously:

"Oh, look at my memory. I almost forgot just now. Before the little girl left, she specifically told me to keep a close eye on you. So you better take it easy."

After saying this, Mr. Hua turned around again and walked away swayingly.

Li Qingyuan looked at Mr. Hua's departing back, his face turning pale and then dark, and he secretly complained: What does this have to do with anything?

......

Just as he was distracted, Yue Qinghuan flipped her jade hand, and a golden "card" suddenly appeared in her palm.

She gently placed the card on the stone table and explained:

"Here, this is the Treasure Pavilion's gold card. With it, you can enjoy a 30% discount on any item you purchase at the Treasure Pavilion."

Li Qingyuan's gaze fell on the gold card, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Yue Qinghuan and asked, "What is this...?"

Yue Qinghuan explained:

"Well... just consider it as the Treasure Pavilion's great appreciation for you, which is why they've made an exception and given you this incredibly valuable gold card for free."

Li Qingyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, thinking:

I haven't met many of the senior executives of the Treasure Pavilion. Apart from Miss Yue in front of me, who would give me such a valuable thing for no reason? I'm afraid that the "kind-hearted person" behind this must be her.

Thinking of this, he said bluntly: "I'm afraid it's not the Treasure Pavilion, but you."

......

"What difference does it make? It's good for you anyway."

Yue Qinghuan frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy.

"No need, I can't bear it."

Li Qingyuan's tone was cold. Su Yaoyue's departure made him feel no good towards Yue Qinghuan and full of resistance.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine jug on the table and strode towards the direction where Mr. Hua left without looking back.

Looking at Li Qingyuan's receding figure, Yue Qinghuan couldn't help but shout angrily:

"Hey, you really don't want it? Do you know this is the Treasure Pavilion's gold card? It's worth a fortune, and so many people are eagerly waiting to get it!"

Li Qingyuan in front of her seemed not to hear anything, and did not pause for a moment. He just turned his back to her and waved his hand. His voice came from afar:

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yue, but I really don't need it. Please help yourself, Miss Yue."

"Hmph, don't regret it, you bastard!"

Yue Qinghuan stomped her feet in anger, her cheeks flushed red. She grabbed the gold card on the table and turned away angrily.

……

With the Li family officially taking over the City Lord's Mansion, Heishan City has returned to its former tranquility and peace.

The Li family promulgated several new regulations, each of which was for the benefit of the people, aimed at improving people's livelihood and improving the quality of life of the city's residents.

These new regulations included lowering taxes, opening schools, and establishing Presbyterian churches, and were widely welcomed by the city's citizens.

Li Qingyuan plunged into the Gate of Time and devoted himself to cultivation. He now felt that time was running out and that improving his cultivation was the most urgent task.

Only if you have strong personal strength can you stand firm in this treacherous world and protect those around you!

Time passed slowly in the outside world. Three days later, Chen Lingyu and Gu Yuyan came to say goodbye and prepared to return to the sect.

Li Qingyuan accompanied them for a meal, then personally sent them a hundred miles away before returning to continue his retreat.

In a flash, another two days passed, and the protective formation that Old Hua had carefully arranged for Black Mountain City was finally completed.

It is said that this formation can withstand the fierce bombardment of a powerful person in the Emperor Realm for a whole day.

Not only that, Elder Hua also specially left behind a batch of precious high-grade black crystals for future use in activating the formation.

......

That night, the moonlight was as bright as water, and Li Qingyuan was called to the main hall.

The candlelight flickered in the main hall, and only three figures were standing quietly: Old Hua, Li Changtian, and Li Qingyuan.

Elder Hua told Li Qingyuan that he was about to return to the sect and asked Li Qingyuan if he wanted to go back with him.

Li Qingyuan naturally wanted to go together. He didn't want to encounter the kind of thing that happened in Jingxue City again. He just wanted to practice quietly and break through the realm.

Mr. Hua nodded slightly, then told him that they would set off in two days and asked him to make preparations in advance.

For the next two days, Li Qingyuan did not remain in seclusion.

As he was about to leave, his mind was in a complicated state and he had completely lost the mind to practice.

He chose to stay with his family. After all, this trip back to the clan was long and arduous, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

......

Time flies, and just two days are gone in a flash.

On the day of departure, all the Li family members gathered outside the gate of Black Mountain City to see him off.

The city was even more crowded with people, densely packed with people who came to watch and bid farewell.

Li Changtian looked sincere, clasped his fists and said to Mr. Hua:

"Old man, after this farewell, I hope we will meet again."

Old Hua threw his head back and laughed heartily, nodding repeatedly.

He gained a lot during this trip to Heishan City. Before leaving, Li Changtian returned the favor by giving him twenty jars of the fine wine "Lihuachun", which made him very happy.

After saying that, Old Hua jumped up, stepped onto the Wang Jian, which had become extremely wide, and turned around and waved to Li Qingyuan.

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan stopped dragging his feet and after a brief chat, he stepped onto the sword.

Immediately afterwards, Li Muqiu, Xiao Li Daoyi, and Lao Huangniu followed.

At this point, all members of the Huizong team have gathered together.
