Seven scholars in one family, three father-son palace third-place scholars—this was a glory to others, but the Li family had lofty ambitions, determined to produce a top scholar. The eldest Li son took the exam and became a palace third-place scholar; the younger Li son, even more brilliant, also became a palace third-place scholar upon his first attempt. The old scholar, disappointed, died within two years; the elder palace third-place scholar fell ill with an incurable disease, leaving all family wealth to the younger Li palace third-place scholar…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drunkard across from Gu Qing suddenly rose to pour more wine, as if memories of the past surged into his heart with the autumn wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the younger Li palace third-place scholar proved unworthy—he gave away all his family wealth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing added again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those are all past matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Mechanism Old Man said: “Lü Duan never falters on major matters. Li Xunhuan entered the Jianghu seven years ago, fought nearly three hundred battles great and small, earned the name ‘Little Li’s Flying Dagger—Never Misses.’ Then he left the Central Plains for ten years, returning two years ago to Xingyun Manor, where he became entangled in the Plum Thief case, wounded the Green Demon Hand, killed the Joyful Cave Master, and slew Bai Xiaosheng—who ranked on the Weapons List—with a single blade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Mechanism Old Man ignored Li Xunhuan’s foolishness and praised his great deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing chuckled and said: “So Long Xiaoyun, who betrayed his friend, seeing how fierce Li Xunhuan had become, feared retaliation—abandoned his wife, children, and manor, and fled, leaving Li Xunhuan to care for his wife, children, and estate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, Li Xunhuan stayed out of the Jianghu for two years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drunkard across from Gu Qing paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several groups of Jianghu people in the inn turned to look at Gu Qing—they had all come for Xingyun Manor; hearing Li Xunhuan was tending to it, they all lost heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Xunhuan is caring for Xingyun Manor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Mechanism Old Man sounded astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone has their own misfortunes, and their own happiness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing remarked sharply: “I wonder whether Li Xunhuan, guarding Lin Shiyin now, feels more misfortune or happiness—or perhaps he has already come to see this misfortune as happiness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drunkard across from Gu Qing drank silently, knowing his own cold and warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Mechanism Old Man studied Gu Qing closely, feeling this young man’s rhythm with him was smoother even than with Sun Xiaohong, and said: “Young hero, have you heard of ‘Using the Enemy’s Method Against Him’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the past month, a young hero named Gu Qing has appeared in the Jianghu—his martial knowledge is so profound that no matter what martial art he sees, he learns it instantly and masters it completely; whenever he fights, if he kills his opponent, he always makes them die by their own signature technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Mechanism Old Man said: “Gongsun Moyun, famed for his Fourteen Cloud-Piercing Hands, was killed by those same hands; Qin Xiaoyi, whose iron fist was ferociously powerful, punched straight through his own chest; Tiejiang Panying, once a river pirate who loved to wrap his victims in dumplings, was publicly disemboweled by this young hero, his belly stuffed with stones, bundled in clothes, and thrown into the moat—before he sank, Panying was still screaming in pain. ‘Using the Enemy’s Method Against Him’ spread from that moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the horror of the dumpling murder, everyone shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said calmly: “May this retribution make those who commit cruel and unjust acts think thrice before acting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where would Gu Qing rank on the Weapons List?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-faced youth asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing shook his head regretfully: “Bai Xiaosheng is dead—no one remains to rank the Weapons List. But Gu Qing possesses one supreme skill that can counter every single name on it.” As he spoke, Gu Qing extended two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can the Spirit-Rhyme Finger really catch Little Li’s Flying Dagger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d0bb2658a1f1eceeff61213fc4c8622ddcb3841497eaddb5f6ef640b2a4432b1","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-132","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-130",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
