As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

This caravan wasnʼt a local one from Fei Lei City, but headquartered in Golden Light Prefecture City. The journey to the Mansion City was long, passing through many cities and wild mountainous regions; traveling with the caravan would be safer.

If Li Che were traveling alone, he would simply set off at once, but after all, he was bringing his family along.

”Escort Leader Qian, thank you for your trouble.”

Li Che returned the salute with clasped fists, and with a smile, handed him a red envelope.

The caravanʼs Escort Leader Qian was a Qi Meridian Martialist within the Channel Opening stage, quite powerful and from Mansion City. He was merely protecting the caravan on its journey to Fei Lei City.

”Master Li is too polite. Taking money to do a task is only natural,” said Escort Leader Qian He, who was rather respectful towards Li Che.

A Woodcarving Master, even in the Mansion City, held quite an esteemed status.

Li Che, holding an oil paper umbrella, sent Xi Xi, Zhang Ya, and Big Head Lu Chi onto a horse carriage. Inside the carriage was a charcoal stove to ward off the severe cold and comfortable soft materials were spread out, making it quite cozy.

Li Che himself had another horse carriage filled with plenty of wood, claiming that he could carve wood carvings inside it on the way to sell them in Mansion City to earn some money.

Of course, that was just Li Cheʼs excuse. He wanted this horse carriage simply for convenience in his actions.

However, Li Che, who had now inherited the wealth of the Yang Family, wasnʼt lacking money, so renting an extra carriage was not a big deal.

Old Chen and the uncleʼs family were in the carriage behind.

The carriage wheels rolled, crushing the rippling moss-covered stone ground.

Lifting the curtain, Zhang Ya pursed her red lips, looking back at the courtyard somewhat reluctantly.

”Letʼs set off!”

After everyone got on, Escort Leader Qian He rode on a fine horse, with a side knife at his waist and a hat on his head, and with a broad wave of his hand.

The caravan started moving slowly, making its way along the cobblestone street.

Perhaps because they knew Li Che was leaving Fei Lei City.

Thus, many wood carvers from the Xu Family Wood Carving Shop came to see him off.

In the crowd, Li Che also saw Zhao Xuan, Wang Zhengpin, and others he had trained with before.

Now, they had all stepped into Sinew Transforming and entered the Inner City.

”Daddy, why hasnʼt Uncle Xu You come?”

Xi Xi, leaning on the carriage window without seeing the person she wanted to see, turned back disappointedly and asked Li Che.

”Your Uncle Xu You might be busy with something. He will come to see you in Mansion City when he has time. You need to practice well and surprise him quietly later,” said Li Che, patting Xi Xiʼs head with a smile.

Xi Xi, thinking of that scene... got excited and nodded her head vigorously.

Li Che, however, looked down the rainy street with narrowed eyes.

Xu You… why didnʼt he come? Experience exclusive tales on m v|l eʼ-

Unable to bear parting, or was there another hidden reason?

...

...

At the city gate.

A carriage also began to move slowly, with a charioteer wearing a hat, vigorously snapping the reins.

The horses stepped out briskly, racing forward.

In the swaying carriage, Li Qingshan was sitting comfortably against a cushion.

By his side was Nurse Momo from the Xu Family.

Nurse Momo, seeming to know something, looked at her old lover beside her and frowned: ”Li Qingshan, do you really plan to just leave like this?”

”City Lord Cao Guangʼs so-called Thousand Buddha Carving Banquet is obviously fishy... I fear itʼs related to those missing Spirit Children, wonʼt you stop it?”

”Werenʼt you, Li Qingshan, always someone who loathed evil?”

Li Qingshan took Nurse Momoʼs hand: ”Donʼt worry.”

Nurse Momo struggled a bit, but failing to break free, let him touch as he pleased.

Looking out the window at the misty green mountains and rivers, Li Qingshan smiled.

”If I donʼt leave, how would Cao Guang dare to start the ritual?”

”If he starts the ritual, then Iʼll have an excuse... to hammer him to death.”

Nurse Momo, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief.

Her eyes shone brightly.

Thatʼs right, this was her avenger brother Qingshan.

”Just by yourself?”

Nurse Momo seemed to think of something and asked somewhat worriedly.

Li Qingshan smiled.

”Should be...”

”And also... a hero.”
