Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi, seeing Meng Jiangchu greeting him with a smile, also stood up to welcome him.

Meng Jiangchu looked at Li Guanqi and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, saying with a smile.

“Good lad, you actually brought Hu Shouqing along?”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly upon hearing this and said softly.

“It's all thanks to Old Han and the others… besides, the Seventh Domain is indeed short of manpower right now.”

Meng Jiangchu sighed upon hearing this, nodding and saying in a deep voice.

“Indeed, the Eight Generals have been out recently, but they only managed to bring back two seniors willing to come.”

“You, kid, are good, bringing back five at once.”

“If I remember correctly, that young man is Zhou Shiyu from the Six Ancient Saint Sect, right?”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, exchanging a look with the man, not hiding his own intentions.

“Zhou Shiyu can be considered half one of us, the position of the Eight Generals… with him there, at least there won't be any trouble.”

“Moreover, he is a very stubborn person, sticks to principles, or to put it nicely, he is upright and unyielding.”

The two sat down in the courtyard to chat, while Meng Wanshu poured tea for them with a gentle smile.

The woman in the house watched this heartwarming scene with a smile, busying herself in the kitchen.

Li Guanqi took the teacup and noticed that Meng Wanshu seemed to have undergone quite a few changes compared to before.

Li Guanqi looked at Meng Wanshu and transmitted his voice softly.

“Is there definitely no problem with the Ice Qi inheritance in your body?”

Meng Wanshu looked up at him in surprise, wondering why he would ask such a question.

Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile bitterly upon seeing this.

“Your temperament and the aura of your whole person were clearly affected by the Ice Qi inheritance before.”

“At that time, between your brows, in addition to your own aloofness, there was also a bit of indifference to all living beings.”

“Perhaps… you yourself noticed it later.”

Meng Wanshu did not deny it, but nodded with a gentle smile.

She was not a warm and outgoing person, but she was not someone who indiscriminately killed innocent people and despised all living beings.

Her aloofness was due to her personality, not liking to take the initiative to get close to people, and being slightly passive in getting along with others.

But the previous changes were obviously not due to her own personality.

Precisely because of this, Meng Wanshu began to retreat frequently after realizing this.

Even many times, her figure could not be seen at all.

Because she knew that only when her strength became stronger would the influence of the inheritance on her become smaller.

Meng Wanshu saw Li Guanqi's gaze, smiled, and understood what was going on.

“Dad, you guys chat, I'll go help Mom cook.”

Meng Jiangchu nodded with a smile, and after the woman left, the man looked at Li Guanqi pouring tea and smiled.

“Speak, what is it that you have to tell me separately behind Wanshu's back?”

Li Guanqi put down the teapot, looked up at the man, and said calmly.

“I went back to Fulong Village.”

Meng Jiangchu's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, took a sip of tea, and said softly.

“You… want to ask me why I went to Fulong Village back then?”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly and said softly.

“If I remember correctly, Grandpa once said that you went there more than ten years in advance.”

“Although it was a clone that went, why was it there?”

Meng Jiangchu didn't say anything upon hearing this, but leaned back in his chair with a dazed look in his eyes.

After a long silence, the man said softly.

“You also know that we cultivators have a long lifespan of ten thousand years.”

“It's inevitable that we will pay attention to news about some special opportunities and blessed lands.”

“Back then, I got some news that there might be a great opportunity in that place, so I went there.”

Li Guanqi held the teacup and turned it slightly, saying softly.

“Could it be that this news was told to Father-in-law by someone else?”

“But… how would Zhang Qixuan know?”

“Is the person who told you this news the same person?”

The man frowned, a look of recollection in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

“This news was not told to us by someone.”

“At the Tianji Pavilion Auction House, a jade pendant fragment was auctioned separately, and I bid for one piece.”

“The other two pieces were bid for by others, one of whom should be Zhang Qixuan.”

“But I don't know who the other piece belongs to… it might be the old man surnamed Lu in the village back then.”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly upon hearing this, frowning, his eyes full of confusion.

Treasure…

“It wasn't someone who told you?”

“So coincidental? Did they accurately predict that Grandpa would take me to Fulong Village at that time?”

The more Li Guanqi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong…

As powerful as Su Xuan, who would dare to deduce the secrets of heaven and plot against him?

“What are you chatting about? Dinner is ready!”

The woman's shout rang out, and Li Guanqi and Meng Jiangchu got up at the same time to prepare to carry the dishes.

Meng Jiangchu waved his hand somewhat awkwardly.

“You go, give you a chance to show off.”

Li Guanqi smiled, it seemed that his father-in-law was really afraid of Aunt Li.

Li Guanqi was a little absent-minded while eating, constantly recalling Meng Jiangchu's words in his mind.

This was somewhat different from what he had expected.

The others also saw that Li Guanqi had something on his mind, and didn't ask too much.

Only Li Guilan's hand kept picking food for Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi didn't mention that he had discussed the marriage proposal with Lu Kangnian after returning this time.

It's not too late to talk about this kind of thing after it's settled.

After dinner, Li Guanqi didn't stay too long, got up and smiled.

“Mother-in-law, Father-in-law, I'll be leaving first.”

“I just got back, there are a lot of things to do, and I have to go see my grandfather.”

The two nodded with a smile, without much persuasion.

Meng Wanshu got up and bowed, saying softly: “Dad, Mom, I'll go back to Baiyu Tower first.”

After the two left, Li Guilan pulled Meng Jiangchu and said in a low voice.

“Is Guanqi going to discuss the marriage proposal with his grandfather?”

“Why didn't he mention a word at the dinner table…”

The woman looked worried, Meng Jiangchu took her hand and said with a smile.

“What's the rush, Guanqi is not a child, it's fine as long as he knows what to do.”

“Besides… this time he went back to Beiliang City to pay respects to his mother and sister.”

“He must be feeling a little down, if you can avoid mentioning it at this time, then don't.”

Li Guilan was shocked upon hearing this, and then her eyes turned red, looking at the direction outside the door with some heartache.

“He went back this time?”

Meng Jiangchu sighed, murmuring with complex emotions.

“Yeah, it's been decades since he went back, it's not that this kid is heartless, it's that he doesn't want to face it…”

“Such a sentimental and righteous guy, to be able to endure not going back for decades, he must have a lot on his mind.”

The two had some heartache in their eyes, comforting each other a few times.

Meng Wanshu held Li Guanqi's arm, without saying a word.

Li Guanqi looked ahead, reached out and patted the back of the woman's hand, saying softly.

“Next time, go back and take a look with me.”

The woman's brows relaxed upon hearing this, nodding and smiling with a faint smile on her face.

“Okay, I'll listen to you.”
