Chapter 4: Secret Letter

Li Xianzhi was brought to the inner office of the Profound Garment Guard.

Li Hongyu looked at Li Xianzhi, her heart very complex.

"You can still back out now. If you really alarm the Capital, you won't even know how you died when the time comes."

"Do you believe I am your father now? If you believe it, I won't write it."

Li Xianzhi was very happy; it seemed this daughter still cared about him.

"Who believes it? I just don't want to alarm the higher-ups because of such a small matter. If they hold my master accountable, what should I do?" Li Hongyu was seen through by Li Xianzhi and quickly found an excuse.

"Nier, I am your father. Although that bearded man is your master, how can a master compare to a father?" Li Xianzhi felt a bit jealous. It was as if Li Chengxiao had snatched away his precious daughter.

"Hmph, once the higher-ups verify my identity, I will definitely have that bearded man transferred." Li Xianzhi looked at Li Hongyu jealously.

Li Xianzhi was still satisfied and happy with this daughter.

In his memory, Li Hongyu had suffered a lot and endured many grievances, and he had caused her many troubles. But every time, although Li Hongyu scolded him, she still cared about Li Xianzhi in her heart.

"I hope everything you said is true."

Li Hongyu walked out and closed the door. Things had reached a point where she couldn't control them. It wasn't hard to see from her master's attitude that Li Chengxiao believed what Li Xianzhi said. And the identity Li Xianzhi claimed was very important to the current Empire.

"What should I write?"

There were too many memories of that lifetime; it was hard to write about the key points. Not only did it have to be on point, but it also had to be verifiable, which was even harder.

However, Li Xianzhi thought of a person.

A cowardly guy.

Thinking about that guy's caution and talent, he should have entered the Ascension Realm by now and must still be alive.

Little Li, are you okay? How are you living now? I suppose that with the passage of time, you must have become a peerless powerhouse.

In the battle at Zhenshen Pass back then, you retreated temporarily; I don't blame you. In fact, I had already planned your retreat before the decisive battle.

Otherwise, with my temper, do you think you could have run away secretly?

I have returned, and I am now in Dongjiang City.

Come see me quickly.

Burn after reading, remember, remember, remember!!!

—Li Shentong.

After writing, Li Xianzhi put the letter into an envelope and wrote a few large characters on it.

To be opened by Li Nuo.

Li Xianzhi changed his mind temporarily; rather than entering the world as Li Shentong's sworn brother, it was better to exist as Li Shentong himself. This would make it easier for people in the Capital to believe.

And Li Xianzhi urgently needed to find Li Shentong's corpse. This body was too frail; once the flesh was destroyed, he would probably have to return to his past state.

Li Xianzhi didn't want to be a Tablet Spirit again.

As for the explanation, Li Xianzhi had already thought of it. There were countless divine arts in the world, and Li Xianzhi just happened to know a peerless art called the Three Lives Body. When the time came, he would just explain that that flesh body was merely his one-life body.

And this Li Nuo was none other than a little eunuch sent by the Shenwu Emperor to Li Shentong's side. Although Li Nuo's duty was to monitor Li Shentong, Li Shentong was who he was, extremely proud, and not only didn't care about Li Nuo's identity, but because he took a fancy to Li Nuo's talent, he had always taught Li Nuo as his master.

The two were both master and friend, with a complex relationship.

"So fast?" When Li Xianzhi notified Li Hongyu with the envelope, Li Hongyu's trust in Li Xianzhi dropped again.

Not even a stick of incense had passed, and this guy had already written the letter.

How was this possible?

"Do you want to wait until dark? Call Li Chengxiao over; you should have special means to communicate with the Capital. Won't you know if I'm telling the truth later?" Li Xianzhi didn't tangle with Li Hongyu this time.

"Can I see it?" Li Hongyu was very curious about what was written inside.

"You're a child, looking at correspondence between adults, do you have no manners?" Li Xianzhi decided to take on the responsibility of a father.

Then he would start by disciplining his daughter.

"Look at how you're dressed, you don't look like a girl at all; how will you get married in the future?" Li Xianzhi looked with disdain at Li Hongyu, who was wearing leather armor, carrying a sword, and had her hair cut short.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Hongyu had no Adam's apple, Li Xianzhi would have thought she was an exquisite-looking man.

"None of your business, you haven't proven you're my father yet, and you're already disciplining me? Who do you think you are?"

"Hmph!"

"Let's go, let's find your master."

Li Xianzhi was a bit helpless. The road to disciplining his daughter was long and arduous.

"Brother, it's already written?" Li Chengxiao smiled. If what Li Xianzhi said was true, he had made a great contribution.

"Watch your language, you hairy kid. You haven't even grown your hair, and you dare to call me brother?"

Li Chengxiao looked at Li Xianzhi as if he had seen a ghost, because he finally realized that if Li Xianzhi's identity were true, wouldn't Li Hongyu become his great-aunt?

Speaking of which, Li Chengxiao and Li Shentong had some connections. Li Shentong had no blood descendants, but he had a foster son, although he hadn't admitted it himself. However, Li Chengxiao's ancestors had always claimed this, and it was because of this that Li Chengxiao's family had taken root in the Profound Garment Guard.

If Li Chengxiao knew that Li Xianzhi was Li Shentong himself, he would probably kneel down on the spot.

Li Chengxiao was choked and couldn't speak; he didn't know how to answer Li Xianzhi at all. Now Li Chengxiao regretted his actions.

Li Chengxiao walked away with a dark face.

However, Li Xianzhi said another sentence behind his back: "Kid, you'd better not look around. Some things, if you look at them, will cost you your life."

Inside were Li Nuo's dark history; if outsiders knew, with Li Nuo's temper, he would kill their whole family.

The light letter was now as heavy as ten thousand pounds in Li Chengxiao's hand. Looking at the name Li Nuo on the envelope, Li Chengxiao was struck by lightning. Who was Li Nuo? That was the ancestor of all the eunuchs in the world.

The current Nine Thousand Years Old.

"My God. What kind of plague god have I brought back?" Li Chengxiao felt his legs trembling. Even when facing a demon at the Supernatural Realm, Li Chengxiao had never been this scared.

Li Chengxiao didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly activated the contact array to contact his elders in the Capital. It was best to let the elders handle this matter with that person in the Capital.

"Are you really that confident?"

Li Hongyu felt everything was too incredible. However, from Li Xianzhi's expression, Li Hongyu couldn't see a trace of panic. This showed that Li Xianzhi was fully confident in everything.

"Of course. Nier, do you know how powerful your father is now? Hahaha..." Li Xianzhi was very smug. Since contacting Li Hongyu, Li Xianzhi felt that only now was he in the upper hand.

Li Hongyu rolled her eyes; she had believed him a little just now. But now it remained to be verified. That old-fashioned tone.

What Nier? Was this the tone a peerless hero should have?
