My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 166 - 128: The Four Bounty Hunters of the Longevity Sect

Chapter 166: Chapter 128: The Four Bounty Hunters of the Longevity Sect

Staying outside was uncomfortable, both in terms of food and sleep. Li Changqing really missed his bed at home.

After dinner, Li Changqing went to rest early.

During these few days away, although everything went smoothly, the series of events had indeed left Li Changqing feeling a bit weary.

He quickly fell into a deep sleep.

However, shortly after entering his dream, Li Changqing heard someone softly calling his name.

"Lu Qiaoqiao?"

Li Changqing suddenly realized that it was Lu Qiaoqiao’s voice. She hadn’t come for a long time.

So Li Changqing came to his Divine Soul Lake, and at a glance, saw Lu Qiaoqiao waiting for him on the opposite shore.

"Qiaoqiao, it’s been a while." Li Changqing greeted her.

"Yes, I’ve had some things to deal with recently, so I haven’t come by, but starting from the day before yesterday, I’ve been looking for you in Minghong State but couldn’t find you. Yesterday too, I couldn’t help worrying that something might have happened to you. It’s a relief to see that you’re safe today." Lu Qiaoqiao sighed in relief.

"I just went out for a bit."

Li Changqing said, "Li Hengsheng is about to break through the Postnatal Realm but lacks a Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, so I went out to find it for him."

"Fifth Grade?" Lu Qiaoqiao showed a surprised expression, "That kind of thing is quite rare."

"Luckily, I found it," Li Changqing said with a smile.

"Did Senior Brother Li write to tell you this in a letter?" Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked.

"Yes," Li Changqing was taken aback, "Is there a problem with that?"

"Not really, maybe I’m just overthinking it." Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head, but this one sentence made Li Changqing somewhat suspicious, quickly asking, "Tell me, just as a casual chat, where do you think something isn’t right?"

"It’s really nothing. I just feel that this might not align with Senior Brother Li’s usual style."

Lu Qiaoqiao pondered and said, "The Senior Brother Li I know wouldn’t mention such things in a letter, because if he did, you’d naturally worry. But a Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, it’s like scaling a mountain for you, how could Senior Brother Li burden you with that?"

"Previously, you made quite a bit of money and gave it to Senior Brother Li, maybe he knows you have some financial means. But Fifth Grade Pills are extremely rare, in Senior Brother Li’s heart, he probably thinks you’re not capable of obtaining one. Don’t you also not want Senior Brother Li to know about your skills? If you give him the pill, wouldn’t that raise suspicion?"

Lu Qiaoqiao’s words also made Li Changqing fall into deep thought.

Yes.

While worrying about his son’s breakthrough problem earlier, he forgot that his son is incredibly filial.

Writing such a thing in a letter indeed seems out of place.

In the previous world, many children faced hardships outside, yet always reported good news and withheld the bad from their families.

Afraid that their families would worry.

Eating instant noodles on this end while complaining to their father over the phone that eating shark fin got stuck in their throat.

Li Hengsheng is such a filial son, this is apparent in many ways, yet this time of complaining about not finding a Fifth Grade Pill is indeed a bit off.

"I won’t personally give it to him. Xu Muhai will hand it to him for me," Li Changqing told Lu Qiaoqiao.

Lu Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment and then guessed, "Senior Brother Li is very clever. Listening to what you’ve told me about him lately, compared to before, he’s really been on a smooth trajectory. You’ve helped a lot behind the scenes; he almost gets everything he desires with ease."

"This time suddenly asking for Fifth Grade Pills is truly suspicious," Lu Qiaoqiao analyzed.

But after saying this, Lu Qiaoqiao seemed to think what she said might be inappropriate and quickly added in a panic, "I was just rambling, randomly guessing, no intention of driving a wedge between you and your son."

"Don’t worry, I understand what you mean," Li Changqing promptly reassured Lu Qiaoqiao.

However, meanwhile, Li Changqing’s heart was also alerted.

Whenever something unusual happens, anomalies must be afoot!

Fifth Grade Pill.

It must be another trial set by Li Hengsheng.

I’ve been tricked again.

I wasn’t vigilant enough with my son.

Is this kid using all his wit against his old man?

But it’s too late because the pill has already been given.

"By the way, I recently obtained some intelligence about the Longevity Sect, and I wanted to share it with you," Lu Qiaoqiao’s tone grew more serious.

"Go ahead," hearing it was about the Longevity Sect, Li Changqing also became serious.

"The Long Night Ancient Kingdom places significant importance on this Longevity Sect. I gathered some intelligence from them, although it’s not much."

"The Longevity Sect is searching for a so-called key, but we don’t currently know what it’s for. However, within the sect, there are bounty orders for certain people; it seems like the Longevity Sect now plans to capture these individuals."

"However, it’s not entirely known who’s on the bounty list. I currently only know four people."

"Who are they?" Li Changqing asked.

"Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Xue Qianbai, the Vice Sect Leader of Dao Mountain Ancient Land," Lu Qiaoqiao said.

"Yes, I already know about this," Li Changqing nodded. After all, those who came to capture Xue Qianbai had already been killed by him.

"Medical King Valley, Yin Changli, I’m not too familiar with this name," Lu Qiaoqiao murmured.

Upon hearing the second name, Li Changqing’s expression changed.

Yin Changli?

That little guy is also on the bounty list?

Why?

His strength is only at the Postnatal Realm, right?

"The third person, Beihan Country, Zhao Beiming," Lu Qiaoqiao announced the third name.

"Zhao Beiming?" Li Changqing didn’t expect that guy to also be on the bounty list?

But it’s a bit challenging for the Longevity Sect to mess with Zhao Beiming, right?

That guy’s turtle shell can even withstand my Seven Kills Cyan Lotus Sword Array; without full preparation, the Longevity Sect can’t possibly trouble Zhao Beiming.

"The last one is Ming Batu, one of the Hall Masters from the Ghost Race’s Destiny Star Hall, these are the only people I currently know of,"

"Is there any connection between these four people?" Li Changqing asked.

"It seems like there’s no connection," Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "The Long Night Ancient Kingdom doesn’t think these four people are connected."

Li Changqing couldn’t figure it out.

He chatted a bit more with Lu Qiaoqiao, and Lu Qiaoqiao then asked Li Changqing to write a letter for Li Hengsheng. As dawn approached, she dissipated away.

The sunlight shone on the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

A new day began.

The disciples at Dao Mountain Ancient Land got up for cultivation, and Xue Qianbai finally returned to Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

Upon returning, Xue Qianbai first went to Muhai Peak to find Xu Muhai, planning to hand over the pill from Li Changqing to Xu Muhai for him to pass on to Li Hengsheng.

But upon reaching Muhai Peak, Xue Qianbai found no one.

Xu Muhai wasn’t within the sect, reportedly gone to Celestial Sea City.

This left Xue Qianbai in a bind. With Xu Muhai not present and Li Hengsheng eager to break through, what should be done?

"I truly owe you," sighing in resignation, Xue Qianbai turned and headed toward Cyan Rain Mountain.

Since Xu Muhai wasn’t around, he decided to deliver it himself.

Arriving at the entrance to Li Hengsheng’s residence, Xue Qianbai mulled over potential excuses to present the pill to him.

Not being Li Hengsheng’s master, giving him a pill rashly would just feel abrupt, right?

Yet, Li Changqing had explicitly told Xue Qianbai not to reveal his identity, complicating matters further for Xue Qianbai.

While deep in thought, suddenly, the door creaked open, and Li Hengsheng was about to leave. Who would have thought that upon opening the door, he’d see Xue Qianbai standing there?

"Uh... Are you the Vice Sect Leader?" Seeing Xue Qianbai, Li Hengsheng didn’t immediately recognize him but quickly noticed the Thousand Snow Sword at Xue Qianbai’s waist.

Li Hengsheng had seen an illustration of the Thousand Snow Sword previously at the Futu Pavilion, which allowed him to recognize it at a glance.

Li Hengsheng was surprised; he never thought he’d encounter Xue Qianbai at Cyan Rain Mountain.

"Yes, it’s me." Xue Qianbai glanced at Li Hengsheng, scanning the figure before him; is this Li Changqing’s son?

Is his talent truly that lacking?

How did someone of such talent become the best in the Mortal Realm Ranking?

Despite the inadequate talent, the abundant vigor within him was undeniable.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Leader," Li Hengsheng quickly cupped his fists in respect.

"You may dispense with the formalities," Xue Qianbai nodded.

"I’m curious, what brings the Vice Sect Leader here?" Li Hengsheng asked, still somewhat puzzled.

"Well..." Xue Qianbai frowned deeply, why was he here?

He hadn’t figured that part out yet.

What to do?

"Thirsty, passing by here, and came for some water," finally, Xue Qianbai thought up a somewhat perfect excuse.
