Chapter 664: Showing a Bit of Strength

Li Xiangting looked at Lin Zhangqing, then said cautiously, "Uncle-Master, regarding Qin Chuan going out,

I think we should consider other possibilities, such as the chance that Wei Zhanggeng might cause trouble! Or the possibility that he won't act himself, but will have others do it instead!"

Lin Zhangqing listened to the issues Li Xiangting raised with a smile on his face.

Actually, this was quite good; he didn't want a Dao companion who only had beauty but no brains.

Although in his heart, he felt that becoming Dao companions with Li Xiangting was more like an invisible transaction.

But since they were destined to be together, he believed that feelings would surely grow between them over time.

Therefore, he hoped even more to have a Dao companion who possessed both beauty and wisdom, so as not to let down his great investment and the sacrifice of his own charms.

He nodded and said to Li Xiangting, "Rest assured! I have already considered the problems you mentioned!

When the time comes, I will leave enough protective measures on Li Qinchuan to ensure he will definitely be safe and sound.

It is even possible that he might kill the cultivators who wish him harm in return!"

After hearing this, Li Xiangting felt slightly more at ease, but she still continued to ask, "If that is the case, that would be wonderful!

But Uncle-Master, could you let me know what kind of measures you have left behind? It would help us all feel at ease."

Lin Zhangqing glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It is a very powerful Second-Tier Mid-Grade spirit insect.

They can turn invisible; even Purple Mansion stage cultivators would find it very difficult to discover them now.

Moreover, their flight speed is comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator. Most importantly, they can perform long-range divine soul attacks.

The only outcome for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator who encounters them is death and falling!"

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's description, Li Xiangting couldn't help but feel fascinated, and at the same time, her little face turned red with excitement! She hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to have such powerful spirit insects; no wonder he was able to secure a spot as an Inner Sect Disciple right after joining.

Li Xiangting looked at Lin Zhangqing with watery eyes and said, "Uncle-Master! Could you let me see them? It would help broaden my horizons!"

Lin Zhangqing knew that if he spoke of them, Li Xiangting would surely make such a request.

However, seeing her like this, she was quite cute, and he couldn't help but want to pinch her little cheeks! But Lin Zhangqing knew that if he really did that, it would appear too frivolous, so he held back in the end!

He just said indifferently, "You may. On the day Li Qinchuan departs, I will let you and your mother see them.

But I won't show you today, so as to avoid having to demonstrate it again later! However, I hope that after you see them, you will take an oath to help me keep this secret! Ensure it does not spread to outsiders."

Li Xiangting was especially happy and excited, nodding repeatedly, "That's great, Uncle-Master! Swearing to keep it secret is no problem. I will take responsibility for telling my mother when I go back, and I guarantee the news will not leak out from us."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and chuckled, "That is for the best. Only by not letting outsiders know will Li Qinchuan be safer when he travels outside in the future!"

Li Xiangting nodded in strong agreement. Afterward, she accompanied Lin Zhangqing to chat for a while longer before taking her leave. Just like that, ten days passed in peace. At noon that day, Old Drunkard and that Senior Brother Zhao suddenly appeared at the entrance of Cuiyun Valley.

Lin Zhangqing felt someone triggering the array, and upon discovering it was Old Drunkard, he immediately rushed over to welcome them.

After he opened the array and welcomed Old Drunkard and the others in, he said with a grin, "Uncle-Master, I respectfully welcome you and Senior Brother Zhao to Cuiyun Valley!" Today was very rare; Old Drunkard looked very sober, without that drunken, hazy look! He saw Lin Zhangqing and said, "I promised you I would come in two days!

I didn't expect that I hadn't cultivated for too long, and just by entering meditation, over ten days passed!

It caused me to only come today. Has this kid been waiting anxiously?

Also, the array outside Cuiyun Valley is laid out quite well, though it is quite bold!"

As soon as Lin Zhangqing heard this, he knew he was talking about how he had enclosed the three small mountains within the array.

So he could only laugh dryly a few times and said, "Uncle-Master, you joke. Since I am here, what would this disciple be anxious about!

However, this small Third-Tier array of mine is laid out a bit over the line. I wonder if that matters?"

Old Drunkard rolled his eyes at him and then said indifferently, "Just leave it as it is for now! We will deal with it if someone brings it up later!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this, laughed dryly a few times, and was just about to invite them to the living room for tea.

Unexpectedly, the three members of the Li family also rushed over. Upon seeing Old Drunkard and the others, they hurriedly and respectfully offered their greetings:

"Disciple Murong Qingyan greets Grandmaster Ran Ming and Uncle-Master Zhao!"

"Disciple Li Xiangting greets Grandmaster Ran Ming and Uncle-Master Zhao!"

"Disciple Li Qinchuan greets Grandmaster Ran Ming and Uncle-Master Zhao!"

Old Drunkard sized them up, nodded, and then said, "No need for such formalities! It seems you have all been doing well during this time; your cultivation bases are all higher than when we last met!"

Murong Qingyan hurriedly said, "This is all thanks to Uncle-Master Lin. If not for the Second-Tier spirit fruits he gifted, the three of us would not have our current cultivation bases!"

A few days ago, after using the hundred-year Vermilion Fruit, Murong Qingyan and Li Xiangting had each increased their cultivation by one layer.

Old Drunkard heard this, smiled meaningfully, and gave Lin Zhangqing a deep look.

Then he said, "I remember the scenery in the back garden here is quite nice. Let's go sit there!"

Everyone agreed. Lin Zhangqing led the way, and then they all sat down in the pavilion in the back garden! Li Xiangting made tea for everyone, while Old Drunkard chatted with them aimlessly.

The main content of the chat was about the three members of the Li family. About half an hour passed.

Old Drunkard suddenly said to Lin Zhangqing, "Kid Lin, you and Little Nine should step aside for a moment. I have some things to discuss with them!"

Lin Zhangqing and Senior Brother Zhao heard this and immediately reacted. After the two of them bowed, they left the back garden.

After the two of them left the courtyard one after the other, the one surnamed Zhao spoke up, "Junior Brother Lin, I seem to see that the spirit peaches on the west side have matured. Let's go pick a few!"

Lin Zhangqing scanned with his divine sense, and sure enough, there was a peach tree there hanging with many ripe spirit peaches.
