Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Li Lingbi's words fell, and the hall fell into a brief silence.

Li Yueyao stood to the side, secretly glancing at Xu Ping'an, watching that tall and straight figure, her fingers unconsciously clutching the pink hem of her own clothes.

It turned out the other party was not only the Yin-Yang Venerable Li Wudao's high-achieving disciple, but also her father's fellow disciple's son; such deep karmic ties made a ripple of emotion surge in Li Yueyao's heart.

Li Lingbi released Xu Ping'an's hand, walked slowly to the hall's main seat, first raised his hand to signal everyone to sit, then spoke with a tone full of recollection: "Unexpectedly, so many years have passed, and he is still in the Immortal Sect.

Back then, we cultivated together in the Immortal Sect; Junior Brother Xu's aptitude wasn't top-tier, yet he had quite a talent in the aspect of spirit plant cultivation.

Later I heard that his status in the Spirit Fields grew higher and higher?"

Jian Hanxin picked up the spirit tea offered by the maidservant and took a shallow sip, then smiled and said: "Senior Brother Xu not only didn't leave the Immortal Sect, he even walked out a path belonging to himself step by step.

In his early years, he served as a Spirit Nurturer and Grain Master in the Spirit Fields, and finally leaped to become a Farming Overseer.

Later he was entrusted with important tasks by the Sect, and now he is already the Qingmu Peak Acting Peak Master."

"Qingmu Peak Acting Peak Master?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Li Lingbi's eyes, then he revealed a gratified expression: "That is one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks; for him to become Acting Peak Master is truly rare."

He changed the subject and asked curiously: "Right, how long do you plan to rest?

When will you head to the Immortal Falling Abyss?"

Jian Hanxin replied: "We leave tomorrow, arriving at the Immortal Falling Abyss as fast as possible.

This experience training serves two purposes: one, to slay the monsters in the abyss and clean up the hidden dangers in the Central Region.

Two, to let these young disciples see blood and temper their cultivation.

Staying in the Sect all along, they will ultimately find it hard to become great vessels."

Li Yueyao asked curiously: "Father, how come I've never heard of the Immortal Falling Abyss?"

Hearing this, Li Lingbi glanced at her, frowned and said: "That place is in the deepest part of the Central Region, the environment is incomparably perilous.

The abyss bottom not only has Great Demons and Demon Kings of a thousand years or more entrenched, it is also permeated with Bone-Corroding Miasma.

Spatial Turbulence occasionally appears; even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator steps in, they must tread carefully at every step; Father does not wish for you to go."

This daughter of his was playful by nature, usually bringing a group of companions to adventure everywhere.

Initially, they only played near the house, killing a few small monsters.

Later her courage grew larger and larger; sometimes she would be gone for several days at a time.

If she were told about the Immortal Falling Abyss, she probably wouldn't be able to hold back her temperament and would immediately run over there.

At this moment, Jian Hanxin's gaze swept over Xu Ping'an and the others to the side: "These disciples are all carefully nurtured new-generation talents, each with a solid foundation, merely lacking practical combat tempering.

This time, with me and several other Elders guarding, I dare not say it's absolutely foolproof, but we can protect the disciples' safety and ensure they won't fall into fatal peril."

As these words fell, Li Yueyao's heart stirred.

Although the Immortal Falling Abyss was dangerous, if she could go together with Xu Ping'an, not only could they interact at close range, but she could also take the opportunity to improve her cultivation.

Immediately, she could no longer suppress the impulse in her heart, stepped forward and acted coquettishly toward Li Lingbi: "Father, I also want to follow Elder Jian and the others to the Immortal Falling Abyss.

I also want to slay monsters, eliminate harm for the Central Region, and at the same time temper my own cultivation!"

"No!"

Li Lingbi refused decisively: "The Immortal Falling Abyss is absolutely no child's play; you are currently only at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, let alone slaying Great Demons, even the miasma in the abyss you cannot block; going would only drag everyone down."

His tone was firm, leaving no room for maneuver.

But when his gaze fell on the disappointment in his daughter's eyes, he paused slightly.

Just now Li Yueyao had frequently looked toward Xu Ping'an; that gaze contained unconcealable shyness and admiration.

As someone who had been through it, how could he not see his own daughter's little thoughts?

Li Yueyao lowered her head aggrievedly, picking at her skirt hem with her fingers.

Xu Ping'an took this scene in with his eyes, his expression calm.

Jian Hanxin hurriedly smoothed things over: "Senior Brother Lingbi, Yueyao's intentions are commendable; youthful vigor wanting to gain experience is also a good thing.

It's just that the Immortal Falling Abyss is indeed dangerous; your concerns are not without reason."

Li Lingbi nodded slightly, then chatted with Jian Hanxin about the past events in the Dongting Immortal Sect, speaking of Xu Zhangqing's loneliness and hard work in the Spirit Fields back then, his words full of emotion.

Xu Ping'an listened in silence most of the time, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

He silently sorted through his father's past, gaining a bit more understanding of his early experiences.

Li Yueyao sat to the side, seemingly listening to the two's conversation, but in reality her attention was entirely on Xu Ping'an, stealing a glance from time to time, then shyly looking away.

Just like this, Jian Hanxin and the others stayed at the Li Family for a day, preparing all the resources needed, and then early the next morning, they drove the Immortal Sect's Flying Ship, speeding off in the direction of the Immortal Falling Abyss.

Li Yueyao watched the Flying Ship turn into a stream of light and disappear at the horizon; the disappointment in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination; she turned and quickly returned to her own room, changed into a set of light traveling gear, also brought Anti-Miasma Pills and Defensive Talismans, and following the direction the Flying Ship had left, secretly chased after it.

Although Li Yueyao's cultivation was not high, she was the only daughter of the family, deeply doted on by Father and Mother.

Therefore, from a young age she had a Xuan Hu Bird with high potential as a pet and flying mount.

One traveled slowly, one chased wildly from behind; the distance between the two sides grew closer and closer.

The steward, not seeing Li Yueyao's figure, hurriedly reported to Family Head Li Lingbi.

Li Lingbi sighed: "This girl, truly spoiled by me."

Regarding this, he did not feel surprised, even taking it as routine.

What's more, he himself was indeed quite satisfied with Xu Ping'an this person.

If the two children could truly walk together, in the future it would also be a fine tale.

The steward hurriedly asked for instructions: "Family Head, should we have the young lady brought back?"

"No need."

Li Lingbi waved his hand: "The Immortal Falling Abyss is dangerous, but with Jian Hanxin and others there, presumably she won't come to too much harm."

"Besides, I can see Yueyao is determined; even if we bring her back, she'll sneak out again sooner or later."

The steward hesitated, then couldn't help but ask: "Family Head, relying only on the people of the Immortal Sect?"

Li Lingbi pondered for a moment, then shouted into the air: "Pei Mo!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared out of thin air, reeking of alcohol all over: "Hic~"

"What do you want from me?"

Everyone was familiar with this person.

He had followed Li Lingbi in his early years, then returned to the Immortal Sect to break through to Golden Core.

Now he had returned to the Li Family and was already one of the indispensable Supreme Elders of the Li clan.

Li Lingbi ordered: "Follow them secretly and protect Yueyao."

"Do not appear; only act when she is in danger."

"If the situation is critical, forcibly bring her back."

Pei Mo did not immediately agree, but instead extended his right index finger: "One jin of Drunken Flower Brew!"

Li Lingbi shook his head, saying helplessly: "When you return, I'll give you ten jin!"

Pei Mo's eyes brightened: "Then it's settled!"

As if afraid the other side would regret it, he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he immediately vanished from the spot.

Li Lingbi gazed into the distance, his expression somewhat complex, both worried about his daughter's safety and faintly feeling that this experience training might not be a bad thing for her!
