When Li Xiuping came back, he happened to see this scene and couldn't help but frown.
With the government and Tianchan Temple jointly taking care of it, such a situation should not happen, but since it has happened, it is obviously not the first time. This also shows that a lot of changes have indeed taken place in the past few years. Tianchan Temple's Attitudes have also changed.
In fact, Li Xiuping had expected this time, and he had only temporarily settled these two people here. According to Li Xiuping's previous thoughts, he would return after going south for at most two or three years, because no matter whether his physical condition would improve or not, he would send Yang Erni and Chu Yan back to Guanchao Academy. If anything happens when they go south this time, he will also ask the layman Qingming and the blue water unicorn to escort them away.
But Li Xiuping never expected that there would be an interception and killing incident in Kunlun Mountain, nor did he expect that a strong man like Qingming Jieji in the integration stage would die, and it would take him a full six years to leave.
It can also be concluded from this that Chu Yan and others did not pass by this place when they went north. In fact, it is normal to think about it. At that time, both Huoling Zhenren and the blue water unicorn only wanted to send Chu Yan and Yang Erni back to the academy. , naturally they have no time to take care of other things, not to mention that their journey will not be easy.
When such a person suddenly broke in, the group of men who were about to arrest him naturally stopped and looked at this guy who suddenly broke in. Chu Yan's mother and the maid also looked at Li Xiuping with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Li Xiuping ignored those people at all, but smiled at the two women and said, "Long time no see."
Chu Yan's mother seemed a little excited, so much so that her voice trembled: "Is it really you?"
Li Xiuping nodded.
Chu Yan's mother continued: "But they didn't mean that you..."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "I almost died, but I was pretty lucky. Not only did I save my life, but my previous injuries were also healed."
They also discovered this. After all, Li Xiuping had white hair before, but now his white hair has turned into black hair. This is why they were a little unsure after seeing Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping looked around and asked, "These people come here often?"
Before Chu Yan's mother could speak, the maid said: "That's not right. We come here to cause trouble every two days. There will be no end to the excuse today and the excuse tomorrow. In the beginning, those monks will still come forward. Just take care of it, now I don’t care anymore.”
Li Xiuping nodded, smiled at the maid and said, "Not anymore."
The maid smiled and said: "That's natural. The master is back, who dares?"
Li Xiuping looked at the young man who took the lead, and the young man happened to be looking at Li Xiuping at this moment.
This young man obviously didn't know the details of Li Xiuping, so he was still calm and did not act rashly until now. It was only now that Li Xiuping looked at him that he asked: "Who are you, daring to obstruct the government's handling of the case. "
Li Xiuping did not answer, but smiled and said: "Leave now and don't come back in the future. I can pretend that nothing happened. As for your so-called charges, they are actually just excuses. You and I know what the purpose is. .”
Upon hearing this, the young man's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he said coldly: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Now the empire is strictly investigating, and any suspected personnel must be questioned. There are obviously problems with the files of these two people. I'm just following orders."
He looked at Li Xiuping and changed the subject: "Since you know them and I have never seen you in Evergreen City, you are also a suspicious person. I'm afraid you have to wait with me."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "So, I've thrown myself into a trap."
A man said coldly: "What nonsense do you want to say to him? Just take him away."
After saying that, he walked directly towards Li Xiuping. But after he took two steps, his expression suddenly changed, and then his whole body fell directly to the ground. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "If we really do something, you will only be the ones who suffer."
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that this young man was not something they could compete with, because they were not at all of the same height.
Because of the gap in strength, these people naturally have fear.
The young man said in a trembling voice: "You...what do you want to do? Tianchan Temple is not far away..."
Li Xiuping looked at him and said with a smile: "If I want to kill you, do you think the guys from Tianchan Temple will come out to stop me?"
Everyone was stunned and frowned.
As soon as Li Xiuping raised his hand, the kneeling man flew backwards and fell out of the entire yard.
Li Xiuping raised his hand again, and the world changed. Everyone felt dizzy. When they regained consciousness, they appeared outside the courtyard inexplicably.
These people all looked at each other with blank faces.
Li Xiuping said: "If you dare to step into this courtyard again, you will die!"
Those men didn't dare to stay, they turned around and fled.
In the yard, Li Xiuping turned to look at Chu Yan's mother and asked, "Chu Yan and the others haven't been here before?"
Chu Yan's mother shook her head and said, "No, we only found out about what happened in the south two years ago."
Li Xiuping nodded and asked, "Did Tianchan Temple tell you?"
Chu Yan's mother nodded and said: "They said that you were in danger as soon as you arrived in the south. The two girls were sent to Guanchao Academy and are now safe, but you..."
Li Xiuping asked with a smile: "They said I was dead?"
Chu Yan's mother shook her head and said: "That's not true, I just said that he might be dead."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Even if he is not dead and there is no news for five or six years, he is probably dead. No wonder you will encounter such a thing. Otherwise, with the influence of Tianchan Temple, even if something happens to the government, it will not happen." Don’t dare to act like this.”
Li Xiuping sighed: "When I made the deal with them, I had no reservations. I didn't even confirm whether I was really dead, so I no longer abided by the original agreement."
Chu Yan's mother said: "In fact, they have taken good care of us."
Li Xiuping asked with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will trouble them?"
Chu Yan's mother didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "No, after all, according to my previous idea, I just kept you here for a while, but I didn't expect that you would be here for six years. It's pretty good that Tianchan Temple can achieve this level. .”
Chu Yan's mother was stunned, feeling that this young man seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing him for five years.
Li Xiuping continued: "Fortunately, it's not too late. You guys clean up and I'll take you away."
The maid smiled and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and ran into the house.
Chu Yan's mother seemed to have something to say, but she didn't speak, so she just frowned.
Li Xiuping could naturally feel her changes clearly, and he couldn't help but frown and asked, "You don't want to leave?"
Chu Yan's mother looked up at Li Xiuping, nodded, and said, "I think it's good like this now. I'm used to this kind of life. If I really want to change places, I have to adapt again."
Li Xiuping said: "But..."
Chu Yan's mother sat down on the stone bench in the yard, poured a cup of tea for Li Xiuping, and motioned for Li Xiuping to sit down as well.
Li Xiuping sat down.
Chu Yan's mother continued: "I do miss that girl. There is no child in the world whose mother does not want to leave home. But I also know that since she set foot on this road, many things have been doomed, such as me, It is destined to be just a burden to her, so if she can live a better life without my existence, then just forget it."
Li Xiuping picked up the tea on the table and said, "Actually, I don't have so much to say here. If you want to see her, you can do so at any time. This is why I brought you with me when I came back this time."
Chu Yan's mother smiled and said: "I really didn't know anything before, but since I met the young master and spent so many years in Tianchan Temple, I have some understanding of spiritual matters."
Li Xiuping nodded, but before he spoke, Chu Yan's mother continued: "As for our safety, you don't have to worry about it. When you are away, there may be some young people with evil intentions, but you are safe now." When we come back, those people will naturally no longer have any evil intentions."
Li Xiuping really didn't expect Chu Yan's mother to refuse, but he seemed to understand.
After all, mortals and cultivators are different. Running around like this is nothing to a cultivator, but to an ordinary person, it is completely different.
For practitioners, not to mention a few years, even decades, hundreds of years are just a snap of the fingers, but for ordinary people, several years added up to a whole life.
Now she is in her thirties, half of her life has passed, and she has finally settled down. If she follows Li Xiuping to a place they are not familiar with at all, it will take several years to get familiar with the environment and establish a relationship. A new relationship, if it happens a few times like this, it will be gone in this life.
As a result, Li Xiuping couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him with admiration.
If it were anyone else, how could they easily let go of such an opportunity? How could they not expect to be able to get rid of their mortal bodies and, with the help of Li Xiuping, also embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
Not everyone can have such an opportunity. Since Li Xiuping has become Chu Yan's master, people related to Chu Yan should naturally ascend to heaven. This is only human nature.
Li Xiuping said: "If you are worried about my trouble, there is no need. If you really want to stay, then I respect your choice."
Chu Yan's mother seemed to be a little hesitant, so she thought for a while, then shook her head with a smile and said: "I still like my current life. If you really feel sorry for me, if Chu Yan has time in the future, let her come and see her." Just look at me.”
Li Xiuping asked again: "Have you really decided?"
Chu Yan's mother smiled and nodded.
Li Xiuping said, "That's fine. It just so happens that I have some things to deal with when I come back this time. If you change your mind in the future, when Chu Yan comes, you can go back with her."
Chu Yan’s mother smiled and said, “Thank you, sir!”
