Li Qingan led the group to the outside of the village, pondering where they should go for a visit!
At this moment, Youji gently nudged Biyao.
Biyao sighed helplessly and said, "You scoundrel, the Incense Valley will definitely be searching for us relentlessly. Aunt You and I can't follow you anymore!"
"Furthermore, I suspect that the Ghost King Sect has spies from the Incense Valley! I need to go back and tell my father!"
"An undercover agent?" Li Qing'an was somewhat puzzled. "The Ghost King Sect's biggest undercover agent right now is Gui Li, and he's also the vice sect leader! He holds a very high position and great power."
"Could it be that Gui Li has been completely exposed?"
Li Qingan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself:
Although Li Qing'an felt that the Ghost King definitely suspected Gui Li, he was facing Li Qing'an, who was considered a pillar of the righteous path among the younger generation, and none of the disciples of the Holy Sect could compare to him. Only Gui Li, who had entered the path halfway, had the Soul-Capturing Staff and was proficient in Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, and could contend with Li Qing'an!
Therefore, his attitude towards Gui Li was still mainly one of bestowing favors, hoping to establish Gui Li as a role model for the younger generation of the Holy Sect!
So unless he was certain that Gui Li would betray him the next day, he definitely wouldn't have taken action.
After analyzing the Ghost King's current situation and confirming that Ghost Li was not in danger, Li Qing'an was relieved!
With his own thoughts in mind, Li Qing'an naturally didn't stop Biyao.
He simply asked Lu Xueqi and Xiaobai to wait there while he took Youji and Biyao away.
They escorted the two all the way to the outskirts of southern Xinjiang before stopping!
"Be careful!" Li Qingan's eyes remained calm as he spoke words of concern, but his emotions showed no fluctuation.
"By the way, rascal, are you alright?" Biyao asked with concern.
"It's alright, I just encountered a problem during my cultivation, I'll be fine in a month!"
"That's good! That's good!"
Biyao glanced in Youji's direction and found that she wasn't looking in that direction. Her face flushed, and she quietly came to Li Qing'an, hugged Li Qing'an's waist, and listened to his heartbeat.
Li Qing'an's heartbeat remained steady, unchanged even with Ruan Yu in his arms.
"By the way, the southern border region has always been mysterious. Be careful!"
Biyao looked up at Li Qing'an.
Li Qingan stroked Biyao's silky black hair. "I understand. Be mindful of how long you cultivate after you return. The Divine Continent will not be peaceful from now on!"
"Your current strength is not enough."
Li Qingan then took out a five-colored array plate from his pocket. "This array plate was forged based on my Five Elements Array and some very good refining materials!"
As a master blacksmith capable of forging divine weapons, Li Qing'an handles materials that are all extremely rare.
The materials used in this array were also refined by Li Qing'an using materials comparable to Tian Buyi's Crimson Flame.
"This thing can protect you in a critical moment."
Biyao happily accepted it and examined it carefully. She found that the array plate was warm to the touch, which was quite nice.
What made her happiest was that Li Qingan had personally crafted it for her.
Biyao, blinded by love, was quite satisfied.
"okay, I get it!"
Biyao carefully stored it away, and before Youji could turn around, she tiptoed and gently touched someone's profile before fleeing away as if trying to escape.
Beneath the black veil, Yu Ji showed no change whatsoever, as if she had finally come to her senses.
Only then did he step forward.
Now it's her turn... no, she was just trying to be kind!
Youji said, "Biyao, wait here for me for a while. I have something to say to Li Qing'an!"
After saying that, Youji turned and disappeared into the nearby grove of trees.
Chapter 228 Yu Ji: The grove won't do...
Biyao, who was in a shy state, did not react at all to Li Qing'an and Youji entering the small forest.
And in the grove.
You Ji and Li Qing'an stood facing each other, looking at one another.
Li Qing'an looked at the woman in front of him, and even the remaining 'ruthless state' of his mind began to fluctuate.
You Ji can be considered the first woman Li Qing'an had in both his lives, so his feelings for her were naturally different.
Originally, Li Qingan thought the first one would be Xueqi or Ling'er, but he didn't expect that he would let things take their natural course and that's how things turned out!
To say he regrets it? He doesn't have that feeling. At this moment, Li Qing'an doesn't feel any regret.
On the contrary, he might feel a little excited.
Ahem, what's the relationship between Biyao and Youji again?!
It's so hard to clean!
Li Qingan was always aware of his own character; he was a selfish and albeit not-so-bad person!
He's just a person, neither a good person nor a bad person!
Even if you asked him to do something as heinous as murder or arson, given his compulsory education, he simply couldn't bring himself to do it!
Being a good person is too difficult; Li Qing'an didn't want such a tiring life. Simply living with a few close female friends, pursuing immortality, and enjoying the scenery of the land would be the best thing for him!
But now it seems a bit difficult.
Li Qingan sighed silently.
On the other side, the woman in the black veil reflected Li Qing'an's image in her deep eyes, as if Li Qing'an belonged entirely to her at that moment.
"Are you... are you alright?"
"I'll be fine with any problems I have in my spiritual practice soon!"
Li Qingan repeated the reason again.
Li Qingan had repeated this sentence many times, and they were even there when she explained it.
But I still ask each person individually, as if it would put their minds at ease.
Li Qingan didn't understand; he felt that he should understand after being told it once.
However, since it was a sign of public concern, Li Qing'an gladly accepted it.
In other words, Li Qing'an's current situation is not right, otherwise he would be strutting around like a madman.
"That's good. Between you and me... and me, and Biyao!"
Youji stammered, her words tinged with melancholy. In her mind, breaking up with Li Qing'an was the best solution.
But whenever she tries to speak out, she feels like there are two people fighting in her head.
Black Veiled Princess: What's there to be afraid of? It's just a matter of good versus evil!
White-Veiled Ghost Princess: You make it sound so easy. You've experienced the divide between good and evil before!
Black Veiled Princess: So what? Li Qing'an didn't say anything, and judging from his appearance, he's not the kind of person who would just eat and run.
Bai Sha You Ji: Difficult! Difficult! Difficult indeed! Moreover, he and Bi Yao are now connected to him, how are we supposed to handle this situation!
Black Veiled Ghost Princess: You and Biyao aren't biological mother and daughter. All these years, you've only been helping the Ghost King look after her! Why sever your own happiness for a relationship that isn't even real?
White-Veiled Ghost Princess: You...you...you?
Black Veiled Princess: What do you mean, "you"? Don't you feel comfortable being with Li Qing'an?
Bai: There is a little bit? But only a little bit, not that much!
Black: Tch! All you do is talk the talk! You know how comfortable it is! The most important thing is that although we haven't aged yet, we're much older than him. So, we're the ones who have the advantage!
Bai nodded and shook his head, caught in a dilemma: What about my innocence?!
Black: Hey! As far as I know, that kid's a virgin too, we got a freebie again! Don't be ungrateful!
Youji felt a version of herself completely black cursing a version of herself completely white in her ear. As the battle progressed, the black-clad Youji gained the upper hand.
And naturally, You Ji's thoughts began to change!
Because she felt that what the person in black said was right, she became somewhat biased towards the person in black.
And all of this is reflected in reality.
After finishing her thoughts, the melancholy in Youji's eyes had vanished, replaced by excitement.
What's wrong with you? Is there anything I can do to help you?
"Uh... it seems there really is one!"
Li Qingan pondered for a moment, "My current state is mainly due to a state I entered during cultivation, and this state was too strong. Even now, I haven't been able to get out of it."
"A sudden enlightenment?" Youji exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing Li Qing'an's description, You Ji felt that only a sudden enlightenment could fit Li Qing'an's situation.
But enlightenment doesn't come easily; you have to understand that she hasn't had one in all these years.
Only her eldest brother, Qinglong, had an epiphany once. That time, he directly broke through from the fourth level of the Shangqing Realm to the fifth level, saving him decades of hard work!
This also established Azure Dragon's position as the leader among the Four Holy Envoys.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing'an was able to have so many moments of enlightenment, and these moments of enlightenment seemed to be different from the normal ones, and even had these side effects!
Could this be a punishment deliberately left by God for someone who has defied the heavens?
"Yes and no!" Li Qingan shook his head.
This wasn't a sudden enlightenment; Li Qing'an felt it was at least a level above it.
"In that case, how can I help you?"
Youji's curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to understand the principles behind Li Qing'an's actions.
"Exciting! In my current state, as long as there are enough stimuli that match my set anchor points, I can recover faster!"
Li Qingan thought about it for a moment, but still told the reporter.
