"Our race has always been quite low-key, we don’t really like fighting and killing," Li Qianluo said with a cheeky smile.
Xiang Beifei looked at her suspiciously, "Why does it sound weird coming from you?"
"Sister Li, are you sure you don’t like fighting and killing?" Xiaohei said with a mischievous grin.
Every time they were about to do something, Li Qianluo was always very enthusiastic. No matter how you looked at it, she didn’t seem like a peaceful type. When it came to fights, she was the most eager.
Li Qianluo said seriously, "Every race must have a few oddballs, right? You have the nerve to talk about me. Xiao Bei, do you honestly listen to the elders?"
Xiang Beifei shrugged, pretending he didn’t hear.
"So, did you participate in the war or not? Normally, the war ten thousand years ago was such a big deal that every race had to pick a side; no race could escape involvement," Xiang Beifei said.
"How would I know? I didn’t live that long. I’m about the same age as you. How would I know details about events from ten thousand years ago?" Li Qianluo said.
"Huh? You’re about the same age as me?" Xiang Beifei said in surprise.
"I’m twenty-five this year!" Li Qianluo said cheerfully.
"Wow, is Sister Li really that young?" Xiaohei blinked his eyes in surprise.
"How old did you think I was?"
Erha interrupted from the side, "I thought you had to be at least a thousand-year-old old lady!"
"Pfft, you’re the old lady."
Li Qianluo glared at Erha and reached out to tap Erha on the head.
However, this surprised Xiang Beifei.
He considered himself one in a million, a genius, with strong power and cultivation, but he didn’t expect Li Qianluo’s talent was not inferior to his, and she was around his age, already at the mid-stage of Inquiring Dao.
To Xiang Beifei, Li Qianluo seemed even more powerful than Luo Shanyou.
This girl is not simple!
Xiang Beifei could never quite see through Li Qianluo because she didn’t have the inherent Dao embryo like other races. There was no way to simulate her Dao embryo into a system, making it impossible to determine what kind of soul cultivation she had.
The Human Race trusted Li Qianluo because when they were homeless after being discovered by the Dao Palace, Li Qianluo extended a helping hand, so everyone thought of Li Qianluo as one of their own.
However, hardly anyone had heard of the Tree Li Race that Li Qianluo mentioned.
Li Qianluo said, "Actually, I’m not very clear about the war ten thousand years ago; I’ve only heard bits and pieces. I’m not sure how reliable it is, but I’ll just share what I know."
"Alright, go ahead," he said.
Li Qianluo lowered her voice, speaking mysteriously, "I’ve heard that ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dao order collapsed once."
"The collapse of the Heavenly Dao order, what does that mean?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Li Qianluo spread her hands, shaking her head, "I don’t quite understand either; it just collapsed, supposedly throwing the whole world into chaos, like returning to the chaotic period, and then the war began."
"How did this Heavenly Dao order collapse?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"You’ve stumped me," Li Qianluo said, spreading her hands, "there are scarce records left by any races regarding that war ten thousand years ago, like someone deliberately suppressed the details of that war."
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to tell you this, but I’ve heard that the key location of the war was in the Common Valley. The reason why the Human Race suddenly went from a major race to the brink of extinction is closely related to Common Valley. Your grandfather and father going to Common Valley must be to confirm this matter. Common Valley should hold all the answers, including the issue of Mustard Seed in Palm that you want to know."
Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows, carefully pondering Li Qianluo’s words.
Common Valley, decades ago, a powerful Ancestral Dao Realm figure named Wufeng stirred up chaos at Common Valley, attracting countless heroes from the Dao Palace and setting off a bloody storm. That Wufeng was Daoist Qingde.
Since then, the location of Common Valley has vanished, said to be protected by the Dao Palace. The specifics of Common Valley are all hearsay to the outside world, and no one knows the actual situation.
"Just to be clear! Uncle Luo is worried and doesn’t want you going to Common Valley, so don’t say I told you this, or I’ll get in trouble with Uncle Luo," Li Qianluo muttered.
"Why? Are you afraid my master will give you trouble?" Xiang Beifei asked. This update ıs available on 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
"He’s still your master after all!" Li Qianluo whispered.
"So what? How could my master possibly give you trouble? That’s impossible, considering how much you helped him back then," Xiang Beifei said.
Erha blurted out, "Dummy! Once you become in-laws, you’d see each other often, as elders from one side to half an elder on the other. It’s not something to be vague about."
"Huh! In-laws?" Xiang Beifei didn’t quite get it initially.
"Chu Xi told me, you two are a pair. That’s awesome! I’ve never been to a wedding yet! I want to join the wedding night!" Erha said cheerfully.
"Go, go, go! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Qianluo glared at Erha again.
Xiang Beifei chuckled helplessly.
This silly one doesn’t know how to fight, but is quick to learn other remarks.
"Alright then, you folks continue playing," Xiang Beifei said, waving his hand, and got up to leave.
Li Qianluo sat on the chair, resting her chin on her hand, watching Xiang Beifei’s retreating figure, pondering.
"Is the person Master mentioned really Xiao Bei?" she murmured.
After a while, she shook her head and pouted, "Damn it, what am I thinking!"
