With a sword drawn, he laughs proudly, his martial prowess dominating the heavens!

Chapter 56 Personal Instructions and Preparations for Descending the Mountain

The Cave at Siguo Cliff.

"Cough cough—!"

"Young Master Li, your injuries are so severe, why aren't you resting in your room?"

Wang Bofen quickly stepped forward to help Li Che, who was about to get up. His face was full of worry, and his words were earnest, even carrying a hint of reproach.

He looked her up and down a few times, but couldn't see any external injuries. Her complexion... wasn't exactly pale, but her spirits... seemed quite good.

Rumor has it that Young Master Li single-handedly faced an attack by twelve people, who must have been masters of internal martial arts. Two fists can't fight four hands, and it was a life-or-death struggle, so it's already quite remarkable that Young Master Li was able to escape unscathed.

"Brother Wang, you may not know this, but my Huashan internal martial arts are a Taoist method. It draws on the energy of the rising sun and the brilliance of the moonlight. Calming the mind and calming the breath is very effective in treating internal injuries."

The room was comfortable, but recovery wasn't as quick as it was on the cliff.

Wang Bofen, though puzzled, nodded in deep agreement, feeling that the profound foundation of this great sect was indeed far superior to the Wang family's mere physical training.

"Alas~ If I had known you were so kind, I would have gone up the mountain sooner. My father asked me to bring many blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying medicinal herbs, which may be of some help to you."

Li Che glanced at him and sensed that he had brought a generous gift; was he here to curry favor?

Old Wang is a very sensible person, how could he not understand the principle of being unable to reach someone who is too far away?

Just then, Wang Bofen laughed and said, "Speaking of which, we'll be neighbors from now on. Business in Guanzhong has been doing well these past few years, so my father arranged for me to come here to look after it. In a couple of days, I'll go to Chang'an to buy a house."

"Young hero, if you have some free time, you are welcome to visit my home in Chang'an for a couple of days."

No wonder!

He gave me both benefits and face; Old Wang really knows how to handle people.

"Brother Wang, we've known each other for a long time. I was very well received by the Wang family in Luoyang. Calling me 'Young Hero' feels too formal."

Wang Bofen's face lit up with joy. "In that case, I, as your elder brother, will take the liberty of calling you Brother Li."

Alas~ Although both are prestigious sects, Uncle Yue is kind and gentle, while the likes of Songshan and Qingcheng are arrogant and domineering.

In terms of character and moral integrity alone, they are worlds apart.

That old rascal really knows how to take advantage of a situation.

"Brother Wang, have you met anyone from the Qingcheng Sect?"

"It's quite a coincidence," Wang Bofen sneered. "I ran into a Qingcheng disciple when I went up the mountain. If he hadn't said anything, I would have thought he was begging on the mountain."

"Oh?" Li Che's eyes flashed, surprised that the Qingcheng Sect had arrived so quickly.

He glanced at Wang Bofen again, and after thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​telling him about the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

Firstly, the Golden Saber Wang family lacked the ability to protect themselves; secondly, faced with such a great temptation, there was no guarantee that Old Wang wouldn't act rashly and change "Great Hero of Central Plains" to "Invincible of Central Plains," which would be extremely unfortunate.

Human hearts are unpredictable and cannot be tested.

Li Che pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Brother Wang, has the Fuwei Escort Agency recently offended someone?"

Wang Bofen was taken aback by these words. "What do you mean by that, my brother-in-law? He's always been a steady and reliable person. He's always been friendly and helpful when he travels the world, and he always uses money to pave the way for others. He never makes enemies."

"Brother Wang, don't worry. I heard this on my way back. Rumors in the martial world can be true or false. Why don't you write a letter to Chief Escort Lin to remind him, just in case!"

Wang Bofen looked worried. "Brother, what you say makes sense. I just don't know who the villain is. If it's a powerful opponent, I'm afraid..."

"Well then, Brother Wang, you should first write to Chief Escort Lin and tell him to be on guard. My internal injuries have healed considerably, and I was planning to go down the mountain to travel soon, but I haven't been able to think of anywhere to go. Perhaps I could go to Fuzhou."

Wang Bofen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, as he had personally experienced Li Che's strength.

At this moment, Young Master Wang deeply felt that his father was shrewd and wise!

This deal was worthwhile; in fact, I feel I didn't bring enough gifts. We make offerings to the Songshan Sect every month, but when the Wang family has trouble, not a single bodyguard shows up to keep order. This young hero Li's strength is probably no weaker than that of a bodyguard.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, my dear brother!"

"You're too kind, Brother Wang!"

It was just past 9 PM, and the night was already deep.

Li Che returned to the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion.

"Going down the mountain again? There's been a lot of turmoil in the martial world lately, with frequent clashes between the righteous and demonic factions. Che'er, you've only been back for a few days. Don't let the martial world wear down your calm nature!"

Although Yue Buqun's tone was light, his words were still quite harsh on Li Che.

Ning Zhongze chimed in, "Che'er, your master has high expectations for you. Although your martial arts are already quite strong, you are too young. Your master is afraid that external things will disturb your mind."

After listening to the two of them finish speaking, Li Chejing did not reply, but instead extended his wrist.

"Hmm?" Old Yue, who was holding a teacup to hide his worry, paused, glanced at his apprentice with some surprise, then quickly put the teacup down and raised two fingers...

Two quarters of an hour later, Ning Zhongze said, "Che'er, don't forget to tell Shan'er."

"Yes, Master and Mistress, this disciple takes his leave!"

As the door closed gently, a few breaths later, Old Yue could no longer suppress his laughter, which turned from soft to loud.

"Good! Good!" Ignoring Ning Zhongze's eye roll, Old Yue said excitedly, "Junior Sister, this is truly a blessing for Mount Hua!"

In just over a month, Che'er's Purple Cloud Divine Skill has improved again. Clouds and mist swirl around him, and purple energy floats on his face, condensing and not dissipating. I'm afraid that after some time, even I, his elder brother, will be no match for Che'er!"

Then his expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "It seems that the experience in the martial world and the broadening of one's horizons have indeed greatly helped Che'er's martial arts skills and temperament."

Besides, since the Wang family is paying their respects, we can't accept undeserved benefits. I'm very pleased that Che'er is willing to look after the Lin family."

"Senior brother, if you keep stroking it, your jawline will probably go bald."

Yue Buqun: "..."

The residences of the female disciples of Mount Hua are located on the north side of Jade Maiden Peak.

Li Che walked confidently to Yue Lingshan's door, already noticing several pairs of eyes peering from behind the window cracks.

"Junior Sister!"

"Ah?!" A scream came from inside the room, and in just two breaths, the door was flung open.

It was a warm summer night, and she was only wearing a pale white undershirt, so it seemed she was about to go to sleep.

"Senior Brother Li? What brings you here so late?"

As she spoke, her eyes darted around, and she heard several soft laughs beside her, while her chin drew ever closer to her heart.

Li Che was completely uninhibited; they were both young men and women, and no one could fail to see what the two were thinking.

On the contrary, this girl, who was bold and unrestrained when she was alone on the Cliff of Contemplation, was now extremely ashamed.

At first glance, it turned out that the junior sister... could hardly see her toes anymore.

"I have something to tell you. Get dressed, let's go outside."

"Huh? Oh, okay, wait for me~"

At the summit of Chaoyang Peak, two figures nestled together.

"How long will this trip take?"

Yue Lingshan's voice was somewhat downcast, and her words were filled with reluctance.

"At most... three months."

"oh."

Li Che pursed his lips. Usually, this girl was easy to coax when she was being naughty, but now she was silent, and he didn't know what to say.

"Perhaps it won't be long before Master and Mistress take you down the mountain."

"Did you figure it out again?"

Li Che originally wanted to say that the day for him to retire from the criminal world was coming soon, but then he thought about it again and felt that something was wrong. After the Lin family was wiped out, Lin Pingzhi took several months to get to Hengyang.

Now that I've interfered, I reckon Liu Zhengfeng's days of retiring from crime are numbered.

"Junior Sister!"

"what?"

Yue Lingshan subconsciously raised her head, then her eyes widened.

The four soft pieces touched each other, remaining inseparable for a long time.
