"Alright, if that's the case, then let's drop this matter!"
Li Qingan suddenly smiled and said, "Afterwards, I will have to ask my senior brother to take care of me!"
Dao Xuan's face was full of helplessness!
He could also see that Li Qingan's strength had now surpassed his own.
He's already considering stepping down; now that he's old, he's losing touch with the current situation.
This is the case with Li Xun's marriage proposal.
Perhaps he can now live a leisurely life, like Wan Jianyi, lying in the ancestral hall.
There's nothing wrong with entrusting the matter to Li Qingan and Xiao Yicai.
As Dao Xuan pondered this, he came to Wan Jianyi's side.
Wan Jianyi had already arrived in front of Li Qing'an: "Junior brother, what is the name of your sword technique?"
"The Great Five Elements Sword Technique!"
"Using the five elements' mutual generation and restraint to create a destructive force, not bad, quite good!"
"It seems my Qingyun Sect will have another swordsmanship expert!"
Wan Jianyi exclaimed in admiration.
Li Qingan shrugged and said, "The sword technique is in the library of Tianzhen Peak. If you want it, just ask a disciple to get it!"
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Wan Jian laughed and patted Li Qing'an on the shoulder.
He looked at Dao Xuan and said, "Afterwards, let Xiao Yicai go to Tianzhen Peak to get the sword manual! It's good that the two of them will be working together, so let Xiao Yicai familiarize himself with the way to Tianzhen Peak, so he won't get lost later!"
Dao Xuan nodded, then turned to explain to Li Qing'an:
"Your strength is now the greatest in our Qingyun Sect, and your prestige is no less than mine!"
"I have discussed this with Wan Jianyi and the other senior members, and it has been decided that you will succeed as the sect leader!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingan was alarmed.
If he were the sect leader, how could he possibly slack off, be lazy, or travel around playing?
"I won't do it!"
He immediately and decisively replied.
Dao Xuan didn't even raise his eyes, clearly having expected this, and continued:
“I’ll have Xiao Yicai handle all the miscellaneous tasks for you, but you can still do your own thing.”
"All you need to do is communicate with Yicai!"
“This…” Li Qingan hesitated.
If you don't do anything, being the sect leader doesn't seem like much.
This would also prevent him from having difficulty handling a conflict with Xiao Yicai later.
Seeing that Li Qing'an was somewhat tempted, Dao Xuan decisively spoke up:
"You and Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak probably need someone's help with your matter."
"Once you become the future leader, no one will dare to interfere in your affairs!"
"You should even propose to Xiaozhufeng soon, shouldn't you!"
Li Qingan nodded; he did indeed have plans in mind recently!
Even the thousand-year-old peach wood heart and the ten-thousand-year-old black jade have been refined into magical treasures by him.
The Ice Heart Mirror, crafted from ten-thousand-year-old black jade; two peach wood hairpins, crafted from thousand-year-old peach wood heartwood; and three amulets crafted from surplus peach wood heartwood.
However, he did not know what Dao Xuan meant by saying this.
Help him propose marriage to Xiaozhufeng under the identity of Li Qing'an, his senior brother?
That shouldn't be the case; it would be more appropriate to let Su Ru go!
However, this would make Tian Ling'er a big problem.
Although I've been back for a few days recently, I haven't seen her.
According to Tian Buyi, she is currently in seclusion in the Taiji Cave, preparing to break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm.
Even with Li Qing'an's help and guidance, Tian Ling'er's aptitude was indeed much worse than Bi Yao's, who had already broken through to the Shangqing Realm.
Then there's no need to compare her qualifications with Lu Xueqi's.
However, judging from the current situation, it should be no problem for Tian Ling'er to break through to the Shangqing Realm in the future.
With a bit of luck and some hard work, it's not impossible to break through to the peak of the Upper Clarity Realm.
But for the Taiqing Realm, it really depends on one's fate.
Closer to home.
If he were to send Su Ru to propose marriage to Xiaozhu Peak, Tian Ling'er would definitely cause a scene for a while after she comes out of seclusion.
However, Li Qingan couldn't care less about that.
Li Xun's visit reminded him of the promise he had made to Lu Xueqi.
Now it's time to fulfill our promise.
Seeing that he had piqued Li Qing'an's interest, Dao Xuan smiled mysteriously and continued:
"As long as you agree to become the sect leader, I will help you resolve the matter between you and your other lover, Tian Ling'er, and Tian Buyi."
"how?"
Li Qingan's eyes lit up, and he had already agreed in his heart.
He clapped his hands at Dao Xuan and said:
"Senior brother, deal!"
Chapter 256 At the Heavenly Sound Temple in Incense Valley! Jin Ping'er arrives!
Mount Sumeru, with the Xiaotianyin Temple at its summit.
However, the three courtyards are quite different from the magnificent Tianyin Temple, which is located halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.
Surrounded by ancient pines and bamboos, densely packed together, the mountain breeze rustles the pines and bamboos, creating an indescribable sense of tranquility and elegance.
Passing through the central Buddhist hall, you will find three quiet Zen rooms.
An old yet kind voice came from the meditation room in the middle.
"Benefactor Zhang, you've finally arrived!"
Gui Li was in that simple and unadorned meditation room at that moment.
Opposite him was Master Puhong, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, who was sitting cross-legged on his meditation bed, holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, and looking at him with a smile!
"Yes!" Gui Li nodded, but for some reason his heart was somewhat unsettled.
Master Puhong carefully examined him, his eyes shining with compassion. He gently turned the prayer beads in his hand, and after a long while said:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and so has he!"
"I originally thought that you would never want to set foot in my Tianyin Temple again in your entire life."
"Thank goodness you arrived early!"
Gui Li was taken aback by these incomprehensible words and had a bad feeling.
"What do you mean?"
Pu Hong didn't answer, but walked outside, muttering something slowly.
"Let's go! I'll take you to see someone first."
"I imagine you'd love to see this person again, and he's wanted to see you for a long time too!"
Following Puhong, we walked in another direction, towards another room, with its back against a stone wall.
Strangely, a rather heavy black curtain hung on the door of this meditation room, and apart from that door, there were no other openings such as windows.
Looking at the somewhat eerie, ordinary little house, Gui Li felt a dryness in his throat and cold sweat on his hands.
Master Puhong's face also displayed a very complex expression, a mixture of regret and satisfaction that was hard to describe.
It was accompanied by a creaking sound.
Pu Hong took the lead, pulling back the curtain and pushing open the door.
The faint sound seemed so heavy and desolate.
A sudden chill swept over the two of them, causing Gui Li to shiver.
Pu Hong walked in and said to Gui Li, "Young benefactor, come in! All the answers you seek are here."
Gui Li suppressed his unease, pulled back the curtain, and stepped inside.
The curtain slowly fell, and the wooden door closed again.
A biting chill swept in from all directions.
Gui Li was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and was preparing to use his magic to dispel the chill when...
Gui Li suddenly froze, feeling as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and he could no longer feel any warmth.
My heartbeat seemed to stop.
Pu...Puzhi?!
Directly in front of Gui Li was Pu Zhi, who taught him the Great Brahma Prajna.
The meditation room was bathed in a soft, snow-like light that shone brilliantly, emanating from a pure white, jade-like disc.
Puzhi sat cross-legged on that one-foot square disc.
"Junior brother, I've finally brought him to see you!"
