As for this donkey, we’ll handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Er handed Gu Qing the clothes: a high-crowned hat, a cross-collared robe. After putting them on, he looked entirely like a scholar, vastly different from his previous wandering martial artist appearance. Liu Er ordered the beggars to take the donkey away and replaced it with a carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the next few days, I’ll drive your carriage—I’ll ensure you’re safely escorted out of Shangluo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Er patted his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had already coordinated his story with Xiaolongnu and revoked the warrants against Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu; now he only needed to cover up the deaths of Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhibing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would require a trip to Huashan to leverage Hong Qigong’s authority and convince the Quanzhen Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having laid out his plan, Gu Qing stepped into the carriage and let Liu Er drive toward Huashan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Shi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Er, driving the carriage, said: “Now that you’re dressed as a scholar, you should mimic scholarly speech—avoid giving yourself away. I’ve been reading a lot lately and picked up a few insights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Er’s speech now carried a refined elegance, utterly unlike his rough, coarse appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Withered vines, old trees, crows at dusk, a small bridge over flowing water, homes nearby, an ancient road, west wind, a thin horse, the sun setting west—broken-hearted man at the edge of the world…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke without pause, the imagery profound—Liu Er stood stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whose masterpiece is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Er eagerly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing laughed heartily—he knew Liu Er had never heard Yuan opera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the laugh, Liu Er relaxed—he now knew Gu Qing could pass any inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah… Auntie…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, where are you?

As the voices drew nearer, Yang Guo spotted Gu Qing in his new attire, tears streaming down his face, and rushed forward: “Master Gu, have you seen my auntie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your mother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing grew irritated hearing Yang Guo call him by his real identity—luckily, no one else was around, and Liu Er was from Hong Qigong’s circle and understood the situation. Gu Qing immediately halted him and asked for an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know what happened…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guo recalled how Xiaolongnu had suddenly left without a word: “I’d just taken my medicine and was emotionally stirred—I talked more with Auntie about Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhibing’s deaths. Zhao Zhijing deserved to die, but Zhen Zhibing was always polite when we met.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told Auntie Zhen Zhibing’s death was a pity—he was one of the few good people in the Quanzhen Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie suddenly got angry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, Yang Guo had been teasing Lu Wushuang, watching her blush and scold playfully—he’d wondered how Xiaolongnu would look angry. But now that she had truly gotten angry, he was completely overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hilarious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","45c11ba5f6881391a7bb3245fc8bb4d01169cd6dfd7413ec4005e95ed66b5fe7","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-13","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-11",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
