While everyone was complaining for two days, some martial arts practitioners had already secretly gotten up and prepared to make a getaway.
"Fool, stop crying here, let's hurry to the capital."
"What are you going to do in the capital?"
"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Last time, Mr. Li's whereabouts were unknown."
"Now that we know Mr. Li's whereabouts, shouldn't we hurry up and grab a spot?"
“When Mr. Li is in a good mood, he will definitely say some funny things.”
"Yes! How come I didn't think of that?"
"Hurry up and leave, or there won't be any seats left."
The people at Ping An Inn quickly dispersed, and a small group of them hurried towards the bamboo grove courtyard.
A small courtyard in a bamboo grove.
Li Chengqian stared blankly at the large group of people in front of him.
"What do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong smiled and hugged Li Chengqian's arm.
“Mr. Li, I also want to go to the capital.”
"A duel between the fifth and sixth ranked sword masters! How can we not go and see such a scene?"
"Go if you want to!"
Why are you bothering me?
"Wow! The swordsmanship of these sword geniuses is so amazing. Without your explanation, how could I understand it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian pursed his lips.
So these guys think they're free commentators?
"Okay, let's go together then."
Having agreed to everyone's request, Li Chengqian looked up at Su Xinghe.
This guy kept looking at him with a resentful gaze, which made Li Chengqian very uncomfortable.
"They're going to the capital with me. You don't want to come with me, do you?"
"If you dare to have such thoughts, I'll make sure you never leave Ping An Inn."
Su Xinghe's lips twitched, and he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li, didn't you promise my master you would find him a successor?"
Upon hearing Su Xinghe's words, Li Chengqian immediately understood.
It seems they haven't revealed the specific candidate yet.
"Cough cough!"
"Don't worry, I've already chosen the right person."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian pointed to Wang Yuyan, who was secretly delighted.
Wang Yuyan: ? ? ?
What do you mean? I can't go to Beijing with Mr. Li?
Upon learning this result, Wang Yuyan immediately became anxious.
“Mr. Li, I don’t want the Northern Darkness Divine Art. I want to go to the capital with you.”
Su Xinghe: ""
Is the Beiming Divine Skill, which has been around for decades, really that trash?
Why does it feel like nobody wants me?

Wang Yuyan's reaction made Su Xinghe question his life.
Logically speaking, if someone looked down on the Free and Unfettered Sect like that, I would definitely not give them a friendly look.
I might end up giving him a good scolding.
Moreover, she was personally selected by Mr. Li as his successor.
It's still uncertain who will reprimand whom.
Seeing Wang Yuyan pout, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of time."
"From here to the Great Song Dynasty, it only takes three days at a fast horse."
"Once you inherit the Northern Darkness Divine Art, you will be able to use lightness skills to travel."
"If we slow down, we might be able to reach the capital at the same time."
"Really?" Wang Yuyan's eyes were full of doubt. "Mr. Li, although I know some martial arts manuals..."
"But I'm not sure about the speed of this lightness skill, so don't lie to me."
Why would I lie to you?
"How about this, considering that you might encounter some interference along the way."
"When you leave the inn later, go to room number five in the 'Heaven' section and find Li Xunhuan. Ask him to escort you back to the Song Dynasty."
"If he asks, just say it was me who said it, and he should repay the favor he owes me."
After some words of comforting, Wang Yuyan finally left the inn with Su Xinghe, albeit reluctantly.
She's an 18-year-old girl, so it's understandable to coax her a little.
After Wang Yuyan's figure completely disappeared, Li Chengqian turned to look at Wanwan and Shi Feixuan in front of him.
"May I ask what brings you two young ladies to see me?"
When Li Chengqian spoke, Wanwan smiled charmingly and gave a weak bow, saying, "I've heard that Mr. Li's bamboo grove courtyard is picturesque."
"Wanwan would like to stay here for a few days. I wonder if Mr. Li would agree?"
"Hehehe!"
"I am delighted to welcome Miss Wanwan here."
"Wuji, take Miss Wanwan to an empty room and also introduce her to the rules of the Bamboo Grove Courtyard."
Upon hearing Li Chengqian call his name, the obscure Zhang Wuji put down what he was doing and walked straight over.
"this way please."
Wanwan successfully moved into the bamboo grove courtyard, but Shi Feixuan's expression was not good.
However, before she could speak, Li Chengqian interjected, "Miss Shi, I know about your affair with Miss Wanwan."
"Although I, Li, do not concern myself with matters of the martial world, I am unwilling to see people suffer."
"Li will lend you a hand at crucial moments."
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but show her delight. She had truly witnessed Li Chengqian's amazing abilities today.
With his help, I'm sure I can achieve twice the results with half the effort.
"However, Mr. Li will be going out in the next few days, and I would appreciate it if Miss Shi could look after him during that time."
Shi Feixuan bowed slightly and said, "I will certainly live up to Mr. Li's expectations."
"Alright, Miss Haitang should still be busy at the inn. Go and hand over the work to her."
"She will tell you how to handle the inn's affairs."
He chatted with Shi Feixuan for a few more minutes, during which Li Chengqian spoke with utmost respect, and he answered all of Shi Feixuan's questions carefully.
However, this action made the women in the bamboo grove courtyard frown, because in their impression...
Mr. Li is not so easy to talk to.
After seeing Shi Feixuan off, Li Chengqian lay lazily on the rocking chair.
Huang Rong's eyes darted around, and she leaned forward with a smile, asking, "Mr. Li, you haven't taken a fancy to that girl, have you?"
"Ouch!"
Huang Rong clutched her aching head and cried out.
"At such a young age, he's already learning bad habits, with little girls on the left and right. What kind of behavior is this?"
Despite being knocked on, Huang Rong persisted in pressing for answers.
"Mr. Li, please tell me."
"Something is definitely amiss. Your behavior today is not your usual style."
Looking at Huang Rong, whose face was full of curiosity, and then at the women beside her whose faces clearly said "I want to know," Yuecheng said calmly.
"Shi Feixuan is an outstanding woman. She is excellent in martial arts, appearance, and strategy."
"But if you had to sum her up in one word, 'compassionate and empathetic' would be the most fitting." (460)
Li Chengqian's words left the women somewhat bewildered.
Could it be that Mr. Li is like this because Shi Feixuan is compassionate and empathetic?
Seeing that no one had figured it out yet, Li Chengqian tapped Huang Rong on the head again.
"Ouch!"
Huang Rong covered her head and took a few steps back, then looked at Li Chengqian with resentment.
"Mr. Li, why did you hit me again?"
"Because you haven't figured it out."
"They didn't understand why they only attacked me."
"The Eastern Cult Leader and her group are too skilled in martial arts; they will fight back."
"Yu Yan is in a bad mood today, I don't want to call. After thinking it over, you're the most suitable person among everyone here."
