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

”If the other party is marked with a corpse curse beyond the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal... I wouldnʼt be able to detect it,” he said.

”The Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal... no matter. Later, when the second round of purple qi detection starts, it will be a grand occasion; you can take the opportunity to detect the Corpse Curse Marks. Record the names you find, and Iʼll have Shangguan Qinghong come over. If you encounter someone you donʼt recognize, just ask her directly.”

After carefully transmitting the message, Li Qingshan cut off the divine connection, stood up, and patted his green clothes.

After exchanging a meaningful look with Nurse Momo once more, he casually strolled back and resumed his hunched over figure on the Divine Sectʼs high platform.

Li Che sat in the chair, lightly tapping the armrest of the Taishi Chair with his fingers.

...

On the high platform.

Upon Li Qingshanʼs return, Zhu Hong Dou approached him, her red robe billowing. She stared at him, causing his expression to change subtly.

”Elder Zhu, why are you staring at me like that?” Li Qingshan asked somewhat guiltily.

He hadnʼt told Zhu Hong Dou about what he was planning to do.

”Old Li, are you familiar with Xi Xiʼs father?” Zhu Hong Dou asked indifferently.

Feeling relieved, Li Qingshan replied: ”Li Che, huh... That kid is quite nice, gentle and modest, and his talentʼs pretty good too.”

”Then talk to him, and let him know that joining my Red Cloud Peak is the best fit for Xi Xi,” Zhu Hong Dou said earnestly. ”All my Red Cloud Peak disciples are female. Tell Li Che to rest assured, no boy would dare bother Xi Xi!”

In short, Red Cloud Peak had no rabble-rousers!

Immediately, Li Qingshan understood what Zhu Hong Dou was up to.

She was making a move!

And to think, the first part of the induction trial for the True Successor had just ended...

Elder Zhu Hong Dou of the Divine Sect Branch...

Was she planning to poach ahead of time?!
