The outside world was in chaos, but Repentance Cliff was still as peaceful as before.
Li Qingshan practiced katas and swordsmanship, wiped the steles, and fished alone in the icy river.
His days were filled with calm.
He had imagined that the Heavenly Path Sect would be furious after discovering that all of their disciples had died, then attack the Yuhua Sect with all their forces. That way, he might have to fight again too. Who knew that the Heavenly Path Sect's reaction would be so different?
They did not grow furious, grow hysterical, or sanction them.
He did not know what had happened in the Yuhua Sect these past few days, but the outside was very calm.
It was so calm that it was as if the people who had died before the Yuhua Sect gates were not from the Heavenly Path Sect.

How could the aggressive Heavenly Path Sect be so cowardly now?
There were many discussions within the Yuhua Sect too.
They thought they would face the Heavenly Path Sect's upfront attacks, and their days would become very difficult. But now, it was as if nothing had happened.
Yuhua Sect, Sect Leader Hall.
Feng Baiyu looked at the calm world and sighed. "The air is different before a storm. I keep thinking that this is the calm before the storm."
The former sect leader and the Elder of Justice stood behind him.
"In the past few days, I have checked all the members of the Yuhua Sect from top to bottom, inside out," the Elder of Justice said in a low voice. "I did not find any suspicious figures or any trace of Wu Shaobai." "If someone that powerful does not want to be discovered by you, you won't be able to discover him," the former sect leader said.
"The outside world is discussing whether Senior Brother Shaobai is dead or not," Feng Baiyu said. "Many asked me for the details."
"I've thought about it, but I still believe it's impossible to be Shaobai," the former sect leader said.
"Whether it is Wu Shaobai or not isn't important. What's important is that we need a Wu Shaobai right now," Feng Baiyu said. "We need a top figure who can counter the Heavenly Path Sect. We can be vague about it to the outside, neither admitting nor denying it. If the Heavenly Path Sect feels unsure, they won't attack so easily."
"Well said." The Elder of Justice nodded, agreeing with Feng Baiyu's words. "It doesn't matter if Wu Shaobai is alive or not. He must be alive for the Yuhua Sect now."
The former sect leader did not speak.
"Sect Leader, it is not normal for the Heavenly Path Sect to tolerate this," the Elder of Justice said to Feng Baiyu. "We must be cautious at all times of their attack. They will take revenge for anything and use all sorts of dirty tricks. We are on completely opposite sides now, so we must be cautious."
"Yes, I know." Feng Baiyu nodded solemnly. "I will put all my efforts into helping Little Nine now and keep an eye on the Heavenly Path Sect."
Even though the attackers had been killed, the Heavenly Path Sect was still like a huge mountain crashing down on them.
"Inside, we must continue searching for that strong figure. Whether it is Wu Shaobai or not, we must find him," Feng Baiyu said with determination, clenching his fists.
The Elder of Justice and the former sect leader both nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Even if they had to upend the entire mountain and Yuhua Sect, they must find
that strong figure.
A few days had passed. However, Li Qingshan did not slack off and now grasped the Heaven Slicing Sword Technique.
His cultivation also rose to the Second Heaven of the Great Venerable Plane.
Still, Li Qingshan wiped the steles every day and comprehended the techniques. Then he would return to continue cultivating. He placed the skills he had comprehended on the root bones that had already sprouted and grown into tall trees. His abilities improved every day.
His forest-like root bones were growing at every moment.
In the mortal world, some said that they could grow fat just by drinking water.

For Li Qingshan, he could grow stronger just by walking.
Today, Li Qingshan took a bath after he had practiced his sword. Then he brewed a kettle of tea, lit incense, and watched the hundreds of flowers blooming in the spring atmosphere. He was in a great mood.
Little Fox also held a cup of tea and drank quietly.
After living with Li Qingshan for so long, Little Fox had gone from hating tea to liking it. She had been affected subconsciously by Li Qingshan.
In some aspects, she grew more and more similar to Li Qingshan.
While drinking tea and gazing at the flowers, Li Qingshan felt a prick in his mind. He looked at Little Fox. "My sister is here. Would you like to meet her?"
Little Fox wanted to slip away immediately.
She still did not want to meet humans.
"Am I going to be the only person you meet in your life?" Li Qingshan asked calmly.
Little Fox hesitated.
"There are both good and bad people, just like there are good and bad monsters," Li Qingshan said to Little Fox. "It's up to you to distinguish between them. If you see more, you'll be able to understand better. I know you are scared of strangers, but you can't hide from it forever."
Little Fox listened to him and stopped wanting to escape. Instead, she continued to sit there, waiting patiently.
In a bit, Little Nine's figure appeared in the near distance, between the bridge and water.
"Brother!" Little Nine waved her hands happily.
Li Qingshan looked at Little Nine with a gentle smile and walked over slowly.
"How come you are so happy today?" Li Qingshan asked.
"I am happy because a big problem has been resolved," Little Nine said with a giggle. Her cold front for other people was gone entirely.
"Wow, is that cute little fox your pet?" Little Nine finally noticed the snow-white and beautiful Little Fox on the side. She got closer in surprise.

"That's my friend. You can call it Little Fox," Li Qingshan introduced with a smile. "It is scared of strangers and has a cold personality."
Little Nine got close and reached out to pet Little Fox, but Little Fox jumped to the side agilely. Then it jumped onto Li Qingshan's shoulder. She wrapped her big tail around Li Qingshan and stared at Little Nine with her big eyes without saying anything. Her refusal was quite apparent.
But fortunately, she had not run away.
"Alright, don't try to touch her on your first meeting." Li Qingshan helped Little Fox reject Little Nine.
It was already a remarkable improvement for Little Fox to meet a stranger. If she felt threatened and ran away, there might not be a second chance.
Little Nine had no choice but to sit down and stop disturbing Little Fox.
"Brother, did you hear that a large group of strong figures from the Heavenly Path Sect recently died before the Yuhua Sect?" Little Nine asked.
Li Qingshan shook his head with a strange expression.
Little Nine thought that Li Qingshan didn't know, so she immediately recalled what had happened vividly.
When she got to the point where Elder Tian Qingzi was about to kill her, she described the Great River Sword Qi that dropped from the sky to save her.
Her expression was filled with absolute reverence.
Li Qingshan picked up his teacup and watched. He worked hard to hide his smile and just nodded silently.
"Anyway, the Heavenly Path Sect wanted to completely destroy the Yuhua Sect but was blocked by that sword attack," Little Nine said comfortably, throwing her hands up. "It has not even dared to make a peep. The Yuhua Sect's biggest crisis has passed. So I do not need to find someone to bring you back to the royal dynasty either."
Li Qingshan nodded as well.
Indeed, the Yuhua Sect's safety considerably improved after he had attacked with the sword.
"Brother, I will continue to cultivate well after this. Master said he hopes I can enter the Venerable Plane soon," Little Nine whispered to Li Qingshan. "After I become a Great Venerable, he will pass the sect leader position to me and help me from behind the scenes.
Li Qingshan arched an eyebrow. Feng Baiyu was searching for an heir and wanted Little Nine to become the next sect leader of the Yuhua Sect. Why was he so fast?
