Chapter 1064: Long Road Home, Filial Piety and Fraternal Duty, Rain Falls and Thunder Moves

"Young Master has been away from home for decades. Master was afraid that Young Master wouldn't recognize the way home, so he sent me to guide you!"

The man's tone was filled with emotion, his face wearing a solemn expression.

Qian Chen recalled the original memories of Li Er, carrying a sense of indifferent detachment.

Even though he knew that the memories originally belonging to Qian Chen were a kind of illusion, he still couldn't bring himself into the original memories of Li Er.

He would rather hold onto that illusion...

"You are going to take me to Li Chong's mansion, right? How did you find me?"

Ning Qingchen got up early holding Master Feng, and Qian Chen stood up leisurely.

A trace of complexity appeared on the visitor's face, and he lowered his head: "The last time I saw the young master was when I followed Master to the Southern Dynasty as an envoy. At that time, the young master went to Jiankang under an assumed name. The Southern Dynasty's pseudo-emperor Sima Shi bullied the young with the old, but the young master used one blade and one sword, roaming invincible. The sword subdued the Dragon Elephant, the blade split the Primordial Spirit; the demeanor was such that people could not look directly at it!"

"Oh! You are that house general of Li Chong..." Qian Chen realized.

The house general sighed: "At that time, Master also took action but was injured by Sima Shi. Later... later the young master disappeared. Master waited in Jiankang for a month. Hearing that Master's mission had caused such a big incident, Chang'an issued an urgent decree, summoning Master back!"

"At that time, the young master seemed to have been reborn, possessing the appearance of a dragon and phoenix among men."

"Now... the demeanor is even better!"

Qian Chen was in a white robe and scholar's cap, his long black hair simply tied into a Daoist bun, without a single ornament on his body.

Standing there simply, he was extremely harmonious, every move in accord with nature, carrying a unique style.

His features vaguely retained the appearance of Li Er, but they had completely grown out!

A smile always hung on his handsome face, not frivolous, but also not very serious...

"The four dragon horses downstairs were the ones I harnessed for Master during the Jiankang years. That year, this carriage failed to bring the young master home. Today, finally, this humble servant and these four beasts are fortunate enough to be able to bring the young master home!"

Qian Chen took a look and suddenly said: "Wait a moment, I need to change!"

After saying that, he walked behind the screen nearby.

Ning Ning Shimei Ning stood with her hands behind her back, while Master Feng poked its head around, wanting to peek.

When Qian Chen walked out again, he had already changed into a Daoist robe, looking even more free and easy.

He passed the house general and pointed forward: "Since an old friend has invited us... Ning Ning Shimei Ning, let's go!"

The man's expression dimmed slightly, and he sighed, as if feeling sad for Qian Chen's indifference, but he quickly restrained his emotions, led the way forward, and served the two as they boarded the carriage.

Inside the cloud carriage, the Qi of water essence turned into white cotton, supporting them from below.

The furnishings in the carriage were not luxurious, but very comfortable. The cloud Qi was full of water essence, not comparable to those flashy but useless goods in the Wuling market.

Ning Qingchen pulled her legs together, sat upright in the cloud carriage, and whispered: "Yan Yan Shixiong is indeed a wealthy and noble person. In our Ning clan, even the ancestor doesn't have such a good carriage... Of course, the ancestor doesn't go out either!"

Speaking of that strange flower of the Ning clan, the Earth-Wood Zangshan Laozu.

Both of them had smiles on their faces. This person was confused and received that blade, but now, he should understand.

But Qian Chen shook his head: "What kind of wealthy and noble person? Just a stray dog!"

The man driving the carriage moved his ears.

Hearing this, he associated it with a rumor about the Li clan, and his heart suddenly became clearer.

Seeing the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon trotting side-by-side with them, the four dragon horses only stirred slightly.

And that water-essence white deer stepped on the cloud Qi and came over, sweeping them with a faint glance, proud and clean, following beside the cloud carriage.

The Green-Eyed Jade Dragon looked back at the white deer, and seeing it following the cloud carriage with small steps, not intending to walk in front, it immediately became arrogant.

It took small steps, came to the front of the four dragon horses, swept its tail, and led the way.

The four dragon horses with dragon horns were also very spirited.

But encountering the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon, whose whole body was like soft scales of a jade dragon, they were suppressed by that dragon might and only stirred slightly before lowering their heads and following.

The house general driving the carriage twitched the corners of his mouth, but still let the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon lead the way.

The ancestral land of the Li clan was still in Longxi!

They had lived in Dunhuang for generations, and the current head of the family, Li Bao, was the hereditary Governor of Shazhou and Duke of Dunhuang, with deep foundations in Shazhou.

But since returning to the Longxi Li clan decades ago, about the time Li Er and Li Zhong returned, Li Bao had gone to Chang'an to be an official.

His six sons, except for two or three who remained in Dunhuang, all entered the court together...

And Li Chong was Li Bao's youngest son!

He was also the most outstanding son.

Now serving as the Secretariat Supervisor and Minister of Personnel, compared to Li Bao, who was the General of the South and Duke of Dunhuang, he was more like a high-ranking official of the outer court!

His mansion, however, did not occupy much land, only occupying about one-sixth of a li-ward, built very low-key.

Li Chong had long ago ordered people to open the middle gate wide.

He himself was at the foot of the steps of the main hall, welcoming Qian Chen.

The cloud carriage landed, and Qian Chen and the two came hand in hand, only to see a middle-aged man whose expression moved slightly. He stood there, saw Qian Chen, was slightly startled, and then greeted him, supporting Qian Chen's arms, looking him up and down.

His appearance was the same as it was decades ago, with a five-strand long beard under his chin, his temperament elegant. Seeing Qian Chen, he only said: "You're back! It's good that you're back!"

Qian Chen bowed slightly.

"We are family, no need for formalities!"

Li Chong said excitedly: "Louguan fell, and your life or death was unknown. Father and I were very anxious. Fortunately, not long after, we met you in Jiankang. Although we didn't have time to say a word, knowing you were safe, we were much more at ease."

"Did you go to the Northern Frontier to see Zhong'er?"

"Li Zhong is not bad..." Qian Chen nodded: "He has also made a career in the Six Towns!"

Qian Chen knew that Li Er was the son of Li Xin, the last ruler of the Western Liang Kingdom, and was a cousin of Li Bao, the head of the Longxi Li clan.

When he was sent back to Dunhuang, to avoid the suspicion of the imperial court.

It was falsely claimed that Li Er and Li Zhong were the sons of Li Cheng, Li Bao's eldest son, lowering their generation for no reason.

Li Bao had six sons. Except for the late eldest son Li Cheng, who had a very good relationship with the youngest son Li Chong.

There were many conflicts between the other sons, even implicating Li Zhong, who was driven to the border of the Northern Frontier!

Being able to maintain the situation now all depended on this Li Chong in front of him.

He had quite a bit of skill, could lower or raise his status, and was now the pillar of the Longxi Li clan.

Li Chong welcomed Qian Chen into the main hall and sighed: "When I saw you for the first time in Jiankang years ago, I almost didn't recognize you! At that time, you challenged Wang Longxiang at Zhu Que Bridge, and that child Sima Yue blocked my carriage and invited me to watch, but I didn't expect to see you..."

"Later, when I returned home, I didn't even return to the mansion and went straight to see my father to tell him you were still alive. Hearing that you were famous throughout the world, Father praised you several times, saying you were the most outstanding person of the younger generation of our Li family!"

"Now!" He looked him up and down and suddenly sighed: "You are no longer just outstanding..."

"How can I be considered the younger generation? After the Guangling trip, I found my previous self, my ignorance was cleared, and from then on, I was no longer just Li Er!"

Qian Chen shook his head and sighed: "Facing Wang Longxiang, it was already bullying the small with the big."

Li Chong's expression paused slightly.

Seeing Qian Chen neatly peel back this layer, his practiced way of reminiscing about the past and cherishing relatives became a bit unstable.

Qian Chen, however, continued to introduce: "This is my Ning Ning Shimei Qingchen."

Ning Qingchen nodded obediently, her white clothes becoming even more clear and beautiful...

Soon, Li Chong's two sons came out to pay respects to Qian Chen. His eldest son, Li Yan Shi, looked quite upright, the typical eldest son of a noble family, rigid and formal. Even his cultivation was like that, a Second Rank Golden Core, neutral and peaceful, his foundation quite solid.

The third son, Li Yankao, was only a few years old and quite lively.

"I have another second son, Xiuzuan, who is extremely naughty and gives people headaches."

"The Li clan has now multiplied for several generations, a quite large family, with many people and many mouths. I don't want them to disturb you. If you miss your father and mother, wait until the clan sacrifice to go back to Dunhuang to see. Chang'an is chaotic, so you might as well stay here for now..." Li Chong asked earnestly.

Qian Chen pondered slightly and suddenly said: "Chang'an is close to Mount Zhongnan, the ancestral court of the Louguan Dao. Now that I have left home to enter the Dao, I have taken on the heavy responsibility of inheriting Louguan. In a few days, I still have to go to Mount Zhongnan to sweep and clean Louguan!"

"The name Li Er, it's fine for family members to use."

He raised his wine cup: "If it's in front of outsiders, it's better to call me 'Qian Chen'! So as not to let the karma of the three sects of the Supreme Dao that I carry on my shoulders fall into the mortal world, the Li family cannot afford to bear it."

"Coming to Chang'an this time, it is inevitable that I have the intention to test the world with my sword. If all sorts of messy people come, it will inevitably be a disturbance..."

This tone was detached, and Li Chong's expression did not change.

Li Yan Shi, after all, lacked cultivation of his temperament and revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Then stay for a few days, find a quiet place, and when Brother Ran has the heart to test his sword, then find another place to stay!"

"I have some friendship with Master Kou Tian Shi. Since Brother Ran is a member of the Dao Sect, you should naturally pay a visit to the Zhang Tian Shi sooner or later. The peach blossoms in the Xuandu Temple are very famous. I will say hello to him and let Master Kou Tian Shi give up a side room in the Xuandu Temple! I think Master Kou Tian Shi should also bear a share of the karma of the Louguan Dao!"

Li Chong arranged it properly in a few words, and Qian Chen nodded: "Exactly, exactly!"

"The Louguan Dao was wiped out, and Master Kou Tian Shi is in Chang'an, so he cannot shirk the responsibility. He needs to join me in cutting off a few more heads."

Li Chong laughed loudly.

Qian Chen also laughed: "When the time comes, the first head to cut off will be the Great Dharma Master of the Snow Mountain of the Qinglong Temple. How dare such a bald donkey establish a dojo in Chang'an? Chang'an is the bedside of Louguan, how can the Buddhist sects be allowed to sleep soundly under it?"

"Sooner or later, I will sweep them away!"

Li Chong couldn't laugh anymore!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and shook his head: "The contention between Buddha and Dao, where is it something people like us can get involved in? Sure enough, Brother, since you have left the family gate, it is better to call you Qian Chen!"

Just at this moment, a horse neighed outside the door, and a voice shouted: "What a handsome Green-Eyed Jade Dragon? Isn't this the one I saw this morning?"

"Uncle Fan, has someone come to the house?"

Qian Chen looked back upon hearing this, only to see the youth who led a group of evil youths to ride horses on the Imperial Street this morning, wearing Hu-style arrow sleeves and riding pants, leaping into the hall, poking his head around to look into the hall.

Seeing Ning Qingchen turn her head, he stared in horror. When he saw Qian Chen, he lost his voice: "It really is you!"

Li Chong had already darkened his face and shouted sharply: "You beast, why don't you come over and pay respects to your Seventh Uncle!"

The youth stood honestly and bowed: "Pay respects to Seventh Uncle..."

"This is my most useless second son, Xiuzuan!"

Li Chong pointed and shook his head: "He is also an evil debt... following a group of evil youths, riding horses and fighting dogs, not engaging in any business, sooner or later he will violate the national law. If he offends Brother Ran, don't be polite to him!"

Qian Chen saw the youth standing at the foot of the steps, his head lowered, his eyes rolling around, and smiled: "He looks very clever."

"Among my three sons, his foundation was originally the best. When he was at the Dao foundation stage, I praised him a few times, but who knew he would become more and more naughty? Now he has mastered the Dharma, but what kind of magic techniques has he practiced?"

"Our Li family's 《Tiger-Shooting True Classic》, he learned a few archery and riding skills, and knows a little martial arts."

"The heavy Yin Qi of the 《Book of Pingyi》 is practiced in a neither-fish-nor-fowl way. The so-called 'clouds open to become a screen, rain falls like a screen'! His cloud Qi practice is okay; it's the foundation laid in his early years. The stage of Qi refinement like rain falling into lines is very poor. He is neither a scholar nor a warrior. In my opinion, his achievements are not as good as his eldest brother!"

Li Chong shook his head and complained, talking about family affairs.

"The 《Book of Pingyi》 has heavy Yang and heavy Yin. The heavy Yin is the Cloud Master and Rain Master, and the heavy Yang is the Thunder Master and Wind Master. Cloud and rain are one change, and wind and thunder are one change."

"However, few can understand the former, and few can understand the latter."

Li Xiuzuan blustered: "What? There are wind and thunder changes in the 《Book of Pingyi》?"

He thought thoughtfully: "No wonder when I practice martial arts, the cloud Qi circulates in my limbs and bones, rolling and roaring. When practicing to the point of intensity, my hair stands on end, like a hanging gall. I thought I practiced it wrong! I gradually didn't dare to use magic power to forge my body. I didn't expect that there were wind and thunder changes hidden within it!"

Qian Chen nodded, and Li Chong beside him smiled bitterly: "How can I tell him the mystery of this? This beast has great courage and doesn't know the weight of things. He drums up the changes of the Pingyi cloud Qi to generate Yin energy and Yang thunder. If he's not careful, his flesh and blood will explode, and he will die without a whole corpse. The clan considered this, so they deleted this hidden layer of change."

"After all, the entry into the wind and rain paths can be transferred to the 《Purple Cloud Classic》. There are many cloud methods in the Dao Sect, and the future is broad..."

Qian Chen didn't care: "Although the cloud methods of the Dao Sect are good, they emphasize accumulation and dwell in purity, and are not suitable for everyone. Moreover, the 《Book of Pingyi》 cultivates both clouds and rain, losing the Yin softness, and the wind and thunder changes are too fierce. In fact, one must cultivate all four paths to truly step into the threshold of the 'Lord of the Clouds'. The supreme inheritance of the Chu land, one of the Nine Songs, has not been cultivated by anyone in the Li family for these years, and this is the reason!"

"Lord of the Clouds?" Li Xiuzuan's eyes widened.

Li Chong shook his head: "The 《Lord of the Clouds》 is a remnant scroll that the ancestor Li Xin accidentally obtained. It is close to witchcraft and gods, too obscure. How can ordinary people achieve it?"

Li Xiuzuan below listened with shining eyes.

Li Chong invited Qian Chen and Ning Qingchen to feast. During the feast, they discussed the Dao. Not to mention that Qian Chen's few words pointed directly to the essence of the 《Purple Cloud Classic》 cultivated by the Li family, even Ning Qingchen's occasional interjections were like an ice-soul divine blade, cutting straight to the core.

As Li Chong spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "As expected of the true transmission of the Dao Sect. It's fine that the family inheritance of the Li clan is shallow, but these years I have been busy with court politics and have made almost no progress in the Great Dao. Hearing your true words makes me feel ashamed!"

Ning Qingchen's expression moved slightly, and she said: "Since the 《Purple Cloud Classic》 cultivated by the Li family is passed down by the Louguan Dao..."

Qian Chen shook his head: "It is not passed down by the Louguan Dao. The foundation is still one of the nine great cloud methods of the Dao Sect. The Congenital Purple Qi is extremely pure, and even I haven't been able to make it unique. External contamination with cloud Qi has already entered the lower stream."

"It's hard to get the essence of the Louguan Dao!"

"It's better to transfer to the 《Book of Pingyi》. Its four paths of wind, clouds, thunder, and rain contain four changes: heavy Yin, heavy Yang, Yin-Yang, and Yang-Yin. Cloud and rain are one change, wind and thunder are one change, cloud and thunder are one change, and wind and rain are one change. All can achieve a First Rank Golden Core! Cultivating the four Great Divine Abilities of summoning wind and rain, riding clouds and driving fog, mastering the Five Thunders, and flying sand and moving stones, all belong to the Thirty-Six Great Divine Abilities of the Heavenly Gang. The future is even broader!"

"Wait until the Yin Spirit pass, if you can cultivate wind, clouds, thunder, and rain to perfection, mastering lesser Yin, lesser Yang, old Yin, and old Yang, mutually cultivating, four-image changes, stepping into pure Yang."

"The Primordial Spirit pass is to sense and communicate with the gods!"

"Whether it is to strictly guard the four images of the Dao Sect, or to enter the divine path from this, the future is broader than the Purple Cloud lineage."

"After all, Purple Cloud is only one of the nine clouds, and even if all nine-colored cloud methods are achieved, it is not as good as a canopy of auspicious clouds of the Yuanshi Dao..."

Li Chong was a bit lost and surprised: "The 《Book of Pingyi》 actually has these changes?"

Qian Chen glanced at him: "You are also a person who achieved a First Rank Golden Core. Clouds and rain forming a pill, licentious Yin drizzling, is called heavy Yin Qi."

"At this pass, the Li family likes to cultivate cloud Qi alone and dual cultivate with women to form a pill. Although it is also a righteous path, it has always lacked a bit of tempering. Later, transferring to Purple Cloud made it even harder to understand the changes within!"

"You have turned the Great Divine Ability of riding clouds and driving fog into an escape technique, which has already gone astray."

"Although the Purple Cloud Canopy can protect the body, whether it is cloud escape or canopy, it has failed to understand the layer of change of clouds turning into rain, which is crucial."

Qian Chen walked overseas and fought against the Primordial Spirit Dragon King of the Dragon Clan. He was really too familiar with the Great Divine Ability of riding clouds and driving fog!

The most important thing about this divine ability is the Yin energy within the rolling cloud Qi. When released externally, it can become Yang thunder, with unparalleled power. When hidden internally, it can turn into Yin rain, with danger hidden within.

In the hands of a true dragon, it can start as a great formation, constantly grinding down the opponent, or it can contain the Five Thunders internally, instantly turning into the power of the sky...

Looking at the Cloud-Rain True Elixir cultivated by the Li family, it was too clumsy!

"You might as well focus on dual cultivation. In this way, Yin and Yang harmonize, and moisturizing the True Elixir might give you a chance to understand the Dao of clouds and rain."

"Clouds falling into rain is an internal transformation, heavy Yin, moisturizing, a layer of change where old Yin and lesser Yin intersect!"

"The effort is all in the subtle places. Magic power must be transformed between soft and tough and cold and lingering, with four external changes of clouds, rain, snow, and ice, and four internal changes of soft, Yin, cold, and chill..."

Qian Chen stopped his cup and chopsticks, and with just one ivory chopstick, he instantly stirred the clear wine in the cup into a ball of cloud Qi.

Then the clouds scattered and gathered, and the various cloud method changes within, gathering, scattering, firm, tough, Yin, Yang...

All were displayed.

Finally, it turned into a light drizzle, falling into the cup, returning to that cup of wine.

He handed the wine to Li Chong and smiled: "Drink!"

Li Chong was slightly startled, looked up and drank it, felt the various tastes in his mouth, and was stunned for a moment!

Turning the Dao into wine.

Qian Chen had turned all the things that couldn't be said into this cup of wine.

Walking in the courtyard with Ning Qingchen, Ning Ning Ning Shimei suddenly said: "Yan Yan Shixiong, do you not want to bring the Li family into Louguan?"

Qian Chen nodded: "One Longxi noble family is enough! Don't let another Louguan noble family appear!"

At this time, a sneaky figure quietly ran over, and it was Li Xiuzuan.

The night was dew-covered, cold, and he rubbed his hands and walked in small steps, shrinking his head and brain, and his eyes lit up when he saw Qian Chen. He stepped forward and stammered: "Little Uncle!"

"What's the matter?"

The youth's eyes dodged: "Can you... can you lend me that Green-Eyed Jade Dragon horse to ride for a while?"

Qian Chen suddenly lost his smile: "What is this?"

"Go ride it!"

"Wait..." He suddenly called Li Xiuzuan and asked one more question: "What are you going to do with it?"

Li Xiuzuan stammered again: "I am on good terms with Cao's Sixth Son. Today he achieved a First Rank Golden Core, and we noble family children and a few Hu people who are familiar with each other have agreed to find a congratulatory gift for him!"

"Of course, I'm not giving Little Uncle's treasure horse away."

"It's just that everyone rides horses and shouts, stepping across the wilderness, and we will definitely compare horsemanship. Although my horse is good, it is still not as good as the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon, a dragon species from beyond the borders. Tomorrow's action, I am prepared to show off, gain face in front of Cao Liulang, and naturally need to borrow a fine horse!"

Qian Chen saw him speak lightly, covering up the point, and how could this kind of child's mind escape his eyes.

Pondering slightly, he said: "Cao Liulang has quite a bit of prestige among you?"

Li Xiuzuan nodded: "He is always the leader, his cultivation is the first among us, and his background is extremely high, so all of us Hu and Han youths are convinced!"

"Then the congratulatory gift you prepared for him must be unique?"

Qian Chen said indifferently with his hands behind his back.

Li Xiuzuan felt slightly nervous at the bottom of his heart and turned his head away: "It's just playing among partners, why is Little Uncle asking?"

Ning Qingchen could see his guilty conscience.

And Qian Chen smiled...

Ning Qingchen frowned slightly, rarely seeing Qian Chen so exposed in his evil spirit!

"I was a 'master of ideas' when I was young!"

Ning Qingchen smiled: "Yan Yan Shixiong is still a master of ideas now. In the past, in the Return to Ruins, Yan Yan Shixiong left a notebook, which was full of ideas, and he did what he said. Yan Yan Shixiong Yan was so angry at that time that he wanted to catch you and beat you up!"

"So, I know best what kind of crooked ideas you can have at this age!"

Qian Chen looked at Li Xiuzuan, pursed his lips, and said: "It's nothing more than fighting chickens and walking dogs, chasing sheep and playing with dogs. When you passed by today, someone called you, who was that?"

Li Xiuzuan whispered: "That was my cousin!"

"He was hinting at you to steal the horse..."

Li Xiuzuan's face turned pale.

"You pretended not to understand his hint, why?"

Li Xiuzuan said: "Because... because I am familiar with the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon horse! This is a foreign species from beyond the borders. Only when the Jade Dragon of the Heavenly Demon Lake mates with a mare can such a bloodline be born. Anyone who can have such a dragon horse is definitely not an ordinary person, and Little Uncle, you have an extraordinary appearance, and there is such a beauty beside you... and that white deer is also extremely extraordinary, it is the Water Essence Bai Lu, one of the Five Elements Divine Beasts. I was afraid he would be overwhelmed by greed and provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, so I deliberately said it so loudly!"

Qian Chen nodded: "So, that's why I said you are clever!"

"Knowing not to provoke the strong is very clever; knowing not to provoke the weak means you have a human heart!"

"So... take care of yourself!"

Qian Chen patted him on the shoulder.

Ning Qingchen and he walked into the quiet courtyard with two side rooms in the east and west that the Li family had cleaned up.

Ning Qingchen said: "You seem to know what they are going to do?"

"Since they are Cao clan children, it's nothing more than the set of things Yuan and Cao used to ravage the countryside in the past... Robbing a bride!" Qian Chen sneered: "I don't know if this nephew of mine dares to draw a blade and hold someone hostage?"

Ning Qingchen's expression was solemn, and she shook her head: "The Longxi Li clan has always had a strict family style, how could..."

"Yuan Shao was once the leader of the noble families!" Qian Chen said: "Ning Ning Shimei Ning, the morality of the noble families has never been downward!"

"Can being tolerant to others and cultivating morality internally maintain the family status?"

"Being broad externally but jealous internally, talking about morality with the strong, and being polite to the high and strong—this is the 'virtue' they need to cultivate!"

"And for the weak, they must also learn to eat people! Nakedly eat people! Even within themselves, they must learn how to win over partners, unite the majority, and find the weak within their own group to bully!"

"Having no claws or teeth, being humble and virtuous, has always been to tame you and me. If someone shows kindness to us, it is very difficult for us to bite back."

"Facing innocent people, even if we hold gold in a dark room with them, it is difficult to turn blades against each other."

"Even, it is very difficult for us to take the initiative to tear our faces with people. In this way, for those who will tear their faces, we always retreat step by step, because only when we are in a group do we have a sense of security. In the eyes of noble families and Hu people, this is the nature of cattle and sheep!"

"And biting the flesh and blood of those who are kind, killing those who are innocent, and bullying those who can be bullied—this is the nature of wolves!"

"The nature valued by noble families and Hu people!"

"Ning Ning Shimei Ning, bullying people also needs to be learned and cultivated..."

"How to use status and power to control others, how to bully the weak, how to take the initiative to invade—these are all qualities most valued by those high and mighty people."

"The restrained one is the nature like you, who doesn't want to bully others and doesn't want to be bullied by others."

"Look, they won't force you to a dead end all at once, but will slowly, slowly become strong, and will even occasionally give you some care, but they always want to determine their status above you, wanting everything to be higher than you."

"Just like today..."

"Of course, noble families have some foundation after all, knowing that the strong are not always strong! So they must also learn to respect the strong, how to adapt to being bullied, in order to avoid being infringed upon in the overly naked and overly prominent violence of the demonic path. They even boldly use the morality they have established to regulate the strong!"

"Today, that Brother Chong was testing whether I could be regulated by morality."

"Unfortunately, I am also a wolf, accustomed to bullying the weak and tearing faces..."

"No!" Ning Qingchen shook her head: "Yan Yan Shixiong, you are not that kind of person!"

"Yan Yan Shixiong draws his blade, always toward the strong!"

"Haha..." Qian Chen smiled: "A dignified Dao Lord bullying a junior who has mastered the Dharma, is this drawing a blade toward the strong?"

"A dignified Dao Lord, daring to point at the Yuanshi Dao Zangshan Laozu who stands between heaven and earth and governs the world, how is this not drawing a blade forward?"

Qian Chen shook his head: "I am not as powerful as you say, I am just dignified and genuine, carrying out my own will, and arranging everything with my own will!"

"Ning Ning Shimei, you should have already grasped that thread of love of Li Xiuzuan when you met! If he takes action, then follow your will and slash out a blade along that thread of love!"

"What if he pulls back from the brink?"

"Also slash... but leave him behind, I want to teach him how the strong find fun!"

Ning Qingchen hesitated and asked: "Yan Yan Shixiong, do you think Li Chong knows..."

"Perhaps this matter he doesn't want to know, so he doesn't know, but Li Xiuzuan came to find me, he must know." Qian Chen smiled.

Ning Qingchen's face changed: "You mean, he is testing with his son's life!"

"Not necessarily as deliberately as you think, but he must have made preparations in his heart. Actually, he is not bad, just already regulated... He is strict with himself, his capacity is not constant, and he is extremely good at restraining himself. Even if I kill his favorite second son, as long as he knows his fault, he can even bow and apologize, reflecting within. He looks like a moral person."

"But all this does not come from his original heart, but is the result of being regulated."

"So, his First Rank Cloud-Rain Drizzling Elixir, clouds gather and are hard to scatter, licentious rain is hard to stop, and it is difficult to achieve the true Dao of heavy Yin."

"A noble gentleman..." Qian Chen evaluated him like this.

"On the contrary, that Li Xiuzuan, if he doesn't die this time, his achievements might be above him! His clouds open and fog spreads, thunder moves within, his character is tough and decisive, quite in line with his cultivation method, it's just that the Dao of cloud and thunder has never been pointed out to him."

"Such a person is suitable to be tempered by shocking thunder."

Ning Qingchen nodded: "So, you have prepared a blade for him, one step wrong, and he will die!"

"Yes, one step wrong, and he will die!"
