According to the woman in Tsing Yi, three hundred years ago, because of her husband, Guanchao Academy was besieged by Taoists and major sects. Her husband was forced to leave the Guanchao water source, but took away four items from Guanchao Academy. treasure.
After Guanchao Academy stabilized the situation, they sent people to chase them back. All the way south, they only got the news that her husband was surrounded and killed by Taoists. The whereabouts of the four treasures were unknown, and the exclusive disciple responsible for pursuing the immortal treasures was not known. He returned to Guanchao Academy, but stayed at the place where his junior brother was besieged and killed by Taoists.
Later, he accepted a disciple and opened a restaurant. What happened next was what Li Xiuping knew.
After listening, Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
The old shopkeeper in Shuiyunjian came out after the immortal treasures. Now that the immortal treasures are on his body, wouldn't he have to hand over these immortal treasures if he goes to Guanchao Academy?
It's not that he was reluctant to part with it, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out and returned it to the woman in green when he left Penglai Immortal Boat. After all, these things are not his after all, and they should be returned to the people who should own these fairy treasures. But now he really needs these things, because these things can not only improve his strength, but also whether he can be in those elements. The key to save life in front of the strong in the infant stage.
The woman in green clothes smiled and said: "Don't worry, that old man will not ask you to take these things back, otherwise these things will not be placed on me all the time. For a Confucian saint to find a little demon like me, it is not How can such a difficult thing take three hundred years?"
Li Xiuping nodded thoughtfully, but said: "Maybe the old man just didn't want to cause trouble, and he was worried about offending the demon clan, so he didn't come to you. Now I am taking these things to Guanchao Academy, which is equivalent to giving them to me myself." How could he not want to come to the door? To take a step back, even if he really has no intention of taking back these immortal treasures, what about the other Confucian disciples? Although he is now the master of Guanchao Academy, he still has to consider other people's opinions. .”
The woman in green nodded and said, "That's right."
After saying that, he stopped talking and left all the choices to Li Xiuping.
As a result, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Regardless of whether he goes to Guanchao Academy or not, once Guanchao Academy knows that those immortal treasures are with him, the entire Confucian family will definitely come to find him. This is a huge trouble. Not only will he have to hand over these immortal treasures, he will also have to fight with the Confucian family. Make enemies. If you go to Guanchao Academy, although you still have to hand over these things, at least you won't be at odds with Confucianism.
It is an indisputable fact that he has taken over Liang Zi from the Taoists. If he offends the Confucians again, it will not be a wise choice.
No matter how you look at this matter, it seems that going to Guanchao Academy is more beneficial to you.
What if the old shopkeeper doesn't want to take these things back? What if the Confucian side also wants him to stand on the opposite side of Taoism?
The woman in green clothes said before that Taoism, the demon clan, and Confucianism are now in an extremely delicate situation. Taoism is in opposition to the demon clan, and they also have hatred with Confucianism. However, due to some things, Confucianism cannot unite with the demon clan to deal with Taoism. , so the three families maintain a delicate balance.
In order to break this balance, Li Xiuping was involved because he was the only disciple of Mr. Ou Ye and the future master of sword making. There were countless forces and various powerful people behind him. As long as Li Xiuping was involved, In this case, the previous balance will be completely broken.
This is the purpose of the demon clan, and it is also the situation that Confucianism hopes for.
In other words, Confucianism now needs Li Xiuping, and the stronger Li Xiuping is, the more beneficial it will be to Confucianism. Since placing those fairy treasures on Li Xiuping can improve Li Xiuping's strength, Confucianism may not necessarily Its recovery, at least not all of it.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuping said: "Go to Guanchao Academy."
The woman in green asked: "Are you sure?"
Li Xiuping nodded in affirmation.
The woman in green just nodded and said nothing, which disappointed Li Xiuping who wanted to see something from her face.
But if you think about it, you can understand that if a big demon that has lived for hundreds of years can be easily seen through by you, wouldn't those hundreds of years have been in vain?
What Li Xiuping never expected was that as soon as he decided to go to Guanchao Academy, a Confucian disciple would come directly to his door.
A few young people dressed as scholars came. After entering the restaurant, these people first glanced left and right, and then walked straight to Li Xiuping's table.
The leader was a woman in a snow-white undershirt with a "nothing" sign hanging around her waist. After approaching, she saluted Li Xiuping and asked, "May I ask who you are, Mr. Li Xiuping?"
When these people came in, Li Xiuping had already felt their presence, but he didn't make any unnecessary moves.
First, he has decided to go to Guanchao Academy. He doesn’t need to care about the purpose of the Confucian disciples coming at this time. On the contrary, he has to know some Confucian attitudes in advance; second, there is a woman in green and a little red girl here, regardless of these Confucian disciples. Whether the disciples would fight directly or not, it would not pose a threat to him.
They were a strong man at the Nascent Soul stage and a strong man at the Transformation stage. It wasn't like just a few Confucian disciples who appeared randomly could compete with them.
In this world, you may be able to catch a lot of strong people at the Golden Core stage, but if you want to find one or two strong people at the Nascent Soul stage, you have to go to those sects that cultivate immortals, and they are also sects with profound foundations. Even if you look for a powerful person in the divine stage, you may not be able to find one, let alone a being with a higher realm.
Hearing the other party's words, Li Xiuping raised his head, took a look at these people, then nodded and said, "I'm the one, I wonder if you guys have any advice?"
The woman smiled and said: "I don't dare to give you advice. I just want to invite Mr. Li to Guanchao Academy as a guest. The mountain master has something to say to you."
She quickly added: "Of course, if Young Master Li is not willing, we will not force him, but we still hope that Young Master Li can go."
Li Xiuping nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Then should I finish this meal first?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course."
She glanced around and seemed to think it was inappropriate for so many people to be standing here, so she said, "Then I'll wait outside."
After saying this and bowing, he turned around and walked out of the restaurant without any hesitation.
Li Xiuping kept watching these people walk out of the restaurant, then looked back and continued to think about something.
Outside the restaurant, a group of Confucian disciples stood aside, which inevitably attracted the attention of guests coming and going, but these Confucian disciples didn't seem to care.
A Confucian disciple asked at this time: "Senior sister, is he really the disciple of our mountain master?"
The leading woman shook her head and said: "I don't know, but the relationship must be good, otherwise our Uncle Qi wouldn't have helped him save him twice."
After listening, everyone nodded, and one person said bitterly: "If it is true, there is another uncle, what is this?"
Someone else asked: "Sister, do you know what state Uncle Qi is in now?"
The leading woman still shook her head and said: "If you can defeat that sword master, you must at least be distracted."
Everyone immediately looked forward to it and exclaimed: "It's so awesome!"
Then someone said: "But this Li Xiuping seems to be only at the foundation-building stage. With such a talent, we mountain masters should look down on him, right?"
The leading woman said: "At less than twenty years old, he has already reached the late stage of foundation building, which is already pretty good. Besides, he defeated the world-walking man in Kunlun Mountain with his foundation building skills. I heard that he later killed many Golden Core monks. At this age and with this level of strength, he is much stronger than me."
Everyone nodded accordingly.
A disciple said at this time: "Rumors are just rumors after all. It's hard to say whether they are true or false."
The leading woman glanced at him and nodded without speaking.
Various rumors about Li Xiuping are no longer a secret in the cultivation world, but there are great discrepancies between rumors, so it is difficult to determine who is true and who is false.
Most rumors usually get worse and worse, and the person who caused the rumors is usually mythed, spread from one to ten, and spread to add fuel to the fire. But when it comes to Li Xiuping, it's just the opposite.
It's strange that everyone will deliberately suppress it when telling about Li Xiuping's deeds, and everyone who tells it will do so, so that except for some facts, most things related to Li Xiuping will be deliberately compressed, resulting in today's various versions, many of which are even contradictory.
Even so, these Confucian disciples had imagined Mr. Li's demeanor before coming here, but now that they saw it, they found that it was far different from what they imagined, and they could not help but feel disappointed.
A disciple asked tentatively: "How about we try it out?"
The leading woman quickly shook her head and said: "No, the two people around him are not low in strength. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain it when we go back."
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look at the restaurant.
Just at this time, Li Xiuping and the other three walked out of the restaurant. Everyone looked at Li Xiuping and couldn't help but frown again.
They didn't observe carefully when Li Xiuping was sitting before, and couldn't see many details. Now that Li Xiuping was standing in front of them, it was naturally clear to them.
He is short and thin, with a black hairband on his head and nothing else except a very ordinary-looking hosta. He is wearing a black gown with a hatchet on his waist on the left and a hatchet on the right. There is a wine bottle hanging on the table and a pair of blue cloth shoes on the feet.
At first glance, he is just a kid chopping firewood in the mountains. He has nothing to do with the word "cultivation", let alone a Confucian disciple who pays great attention to appearance.
They would never believe that such a child was a disciple of their mountain master, even if they killed Confucian disciples like him.
