Therefore, I don't get to spend much time with him." A hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes.Qin Yu's heart trembled;he felt waves of emotion wash over him.Wasn't that the same for me?Effortfully suppressing his excitement, Qin Yu said, "It seems your father is a great person."Lady Li nodded.
"Yes, he is.
The many people I saw as a child were all so respectful and cautious around my father;no one dared to defy him.
However, there are other great figures who compete with each other, even fighting.
It became tiresome, so I left home with Uncle Lan and wandered outside.""Perhaps it's because you're a girl and I'm a boy, but our experiences are similar.
My father is the Duke of Chu in the Hidden Dragon Continent.
He wanted to take revenge and fulfill his ancestors' centuries-old aspirations.
He focused on teaching my brothers but ignored me, who was neither good at literature nor martial arts.
Unlike you, I didn't grow tired;instead, I worked hard to do something useful for my father."Qin Yu spoke with a sigh of regret.
Reflecting back years later, he felt as if the world had changed.He could vaguely recall that child, enduring scorching heat and freezing cold, constantly carrying heavy loads and pricking his fingers into sand to practice Iron Sand Palm..."Girl," A hint of resilience flashed in Lady Li's eyes.
"No, at first, I wanted to help my father, but...
something happened later that broke both your Uncle Lan and me." Her eyes were filled with pain.Qin Yu looked at Lady Li now.
He didn't know what she had experienced, but he knew it must have been severe."Eh, fish bite?"Lady Li suddenly brightened as the fish on her fishing rod was reeled in;a five-pound fish was caught.The Lady who had just been lost in painful memories was now excited with a full smile because of catching the fish, seemingly forgetting everything that happened before."Qin Yu, have you improved your chess skills?Do you want to play Go or Chess?I'll let you use one chariot, horse, and cannon for Chess.
For Go, I'll give you four pieces," Lady Li teased as she waved her hand;two boards appeared."Oh, Chess or Go?This...
this..."Qin Yu, who had been so relaxed before, was now nervous.Playing chess with Lady Li meant getting massacred.
Letting him use one chariot, horse, and cannon in Chess, four pieces in Go—despite the concessions, he still lost every time, often devastatingly so.
It wasn't that his strength was lacking;it was because Lady Li was overwhelmingly strong.Qin Yu could guarantee that even his father Qin De or strategist Xu Yuan wouldn't be able to win if Lady Li gave them four pieces in Go.Over the vast sea, suddenly, patches of auspicious clouds drifted over.
Dozens of cultivators were on the clouds;at the forefront was True Immortal Speech Thread."True Immortal Speech Thread, that Starlight Pavilion is just a den of underwater monsters, though it has an Immortal backing it up...
going to his mansion?That's..." The young man with fiery red hair had a hint of disdain.Most cultivators looked down on monster dwellings, considering them low in quality."Fire (unrecognized) True Immortal, monster dwellings are naturally inferior.
They only know what palaces and mansions;how can they compare to our Immortal's Holy Land?But the strength of monsters is undeniable;appearance matters little compared to actual power," said the young man with white hair.The young man with fiery red hair frowned.
"True Immortal Di Feng, I didn't say monster dwellings were inferior in terms of strength.
But living there would be really uncomfortable.""True Immortal Fire Hear (similar sound) and True Immortal Di Feng, you haven't seen the Starlight Pavilion;so, don't make hasty comments," said True Immortal Speech Thread calmly.Though he said this, True Immortal Speech Thread himself looked down on monster dwellings.For cultivators and daoists, they could look down on monsters in areas like forging artifacts, refining elixirs, and building mansions.
Dozens of cultivators began discussing how poor monster dwellings were."Starlight Pavilion arrived," said True Immortal Speech Thread.Silence fell among the cultivators;even though True Immortals Fire Hear and Di Feng appeared young on the surface, they were almost as old as True Immortal Speech Thread.
They were also senior grandmasters of Purple Yang Sect and Blue Center Sect.True Immortal Speech Thread, True Immortal Fire Hear, and True Immortal Di Feng were the actual rulers of the Penglai Immortal Realm.Dozens of cultivators flew over the sea.
The water parted to create a passage for them;they sped directly towards the Starlight Pavilion.
