Chapter 25 Fang Wai Master

“Uh, this, Master Fang Wai…”

Li Dashan pondered for a moment, “I do have some impression of him.”

“Uncle, quickly tell me about it in detail.”

Li Ziqing perked up her ears, instantly energized.

This ‘Uncle’ made Li Dashan feel wonderful, and he immediately began to recall.

“Speaking of which, Master Fang Wai has known your father the longest. Even before your father met your mother, he already knew this master.”

“The master’s dharma name is Wucan. Your father valued him very much, and their relationship was extremely good. Even I, his own biological brother, couldn’t compare to Wucan in your father’s heart.”

“Later, once after your father got drunk, he told me the truth. Guess why their relationship was so good?”

Li Dashan suddenly became mysterious.

Li Ziqing shook her head with a sullen face, not really wanting to guess.

“Hehe, you can’t guess, can you!”

Li Dashan became smug, “Your father said that the reason he was able to rise to prominence was actually greatly related to Master Wucan, but he didn’t tell me the specifics. He just told me to treat Master Wucan well in the future and not to be rude to him again.”

“Not to be rude to him again?”

Li Zigang discovered the key point in his father’s words and immediately asked, “Dad, were you disrespectful to Master Wucan in the past?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Li Dashan admitted it generously, “To be recognized by my second brother, that Master Wucan naturally had some ability, but I never liked him.”

“Then why is that?”

“Because he looked like a weasel, with shifty eyes.”

“…”

Everyone was speechless. What kind of reason was that?

Just because someone wasn’t good-looking, you didn’t like them? And you were disrespectful to them?

It seemed that this seemingly honest and loyal uncle also had an unknown side.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Li Dashan explained again, “Facts have also proved that I was right. If it weren’t for that Master Wucan, my second brother might not have achieved such brilliant results, but he would definitely still be alive. Alas, things are unpredictable!”

Li Dashan sighed, his old eyes slightly red.

Li Ziqing didn’t want to listen to her uncle’s sentiments; she wanted to know more about Master Wucan.

“Uncle, how much more do you know about Master Wucan? Like how old is he, where does he cultivate, and have you met him since my father passed away?”

Li Ziqing asked a series of questions.

“How old Master Wucan is, that’s hard to say. He looks to be around fifty or sixty years old, but your father once told me that his actual age is over a hundred years old. As for whether that’s true, I didn’t verify it.”

For ordinary people, living to be a hundred years old would definitely be considered extremely old, but for cultivators, that’s not a difficult thing.

A *huajing* (Transformation Realm) martial artist, if they were to just stay hidden, living to be a hundred years old would just be a matter of time.

“Since your father passed away, I haven’t seen him again. I don’t know where he cultivates either.”

Li Dashan shook his head; he had already said all the information he could provide.

“What’s wrong, Ziqing? What do you need him for? Could it be that he really guessed right, and you really are that Heavenly Star of Solitude?”

Li Dashan asked with a frown.

“It’s nothing.”

Li Ziqing shook her head, not planning to reveal too much, “Uncle, you’re just recovering from a serious illness, you should rest early. I’ll come visit you another day.”

Knowing that Li Dashan couldn’t provide any more clues, Li Ziqing planned to leave.

“I’m fine. We haven’t seen each other for so many years, have a simple meal at home before you leave.”

Li Dashan also knew that the living environment here was poor, so he didn’t ask Li Ziqing to stay overnight, just to stay for a meal.

“Not today, I have to meet a friend later.”

Li Ziqing shook her head and refused.

“Alright then, since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll see you out.”

Li Dashan wanted to go out to see Li Ziqing off, but after only taking two or three steps, he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao was quick-witted and supported him, preventing him from falling.

This was a normal phenomenon. Li Dashan’s muscles had atrophied too severely, and it would take some time to recover.

“Dad, you should rest first. I’ll see my sister and brother-in-law out.”

Li Zigang sent Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing downstairs, and said enthusiastically, “Sister, come over and visit more often when you have time.”

Li Ziqing remained noncommittal, and suddenly asked, “Brother, what are your plans for the future?”

“Plans for the future? Well, I don’t have any plans…”

Li Zigang looked embarrassed, “Ziqing, I know you might laugh at me for being unambitious when I say this, but I think the current days are pretty good, with no worries about food and drink, and not so many troubles.”

“Alright then!”

Li Ziqing didn’t force it, just said lightly, “I will be opening a branch office in the Imperial City in the future. If you want to change your work environment, you can contact me directly.”

“Are you really coming back?”

Li Zigang suddenly hesitated, “Has the matter from back then, are those people no longer pursuing it?”

Three years ago, Li Ziqing was driven out of the Imperial City by the Five Great Families. Li Zigang, as her older brother, had naturally heard about it.

“Whether they are pursuing it or not, I don’t know. Anyway, I will definitely pursue it. Alright, I’ll leave you here, I’m leaving.”

Saying that, Li Ziqing waved at him, indicating that he didn’t need to see her off anymore.

Watching Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing leave side by side, Li Zigang fell into deep thought.

“Ziqing still wants to pursue it? Could it be that she really came back this time for revenge?”

Thinking of this, Li Zigang suddenly called out, “Ziqing!”

“Hmm?”

Li Ziqing stopped and looked back at him, looking puzzled.

Li Zigang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, “Your big brother doesn’t have any other skills, just this worthless life. If there’s anything you need your big brother to do, just let me know.”

Li Ziqing was slightly stunned, then smiled.

“Got it.”

Turning around, she waved her hand and continued to walk forward.

“Are you really going to see a friend? Do you have people of your own in the Imperial City?”

Chen Xiao knew that Li Ziqing had a secret and huge intelligence organization, and that all the members of the organization were women.

But this was, after all, the Imperial City, under the Son of Heaven, where various forces were intertwined.

Even for Li Ziqing, it wouldn’t be so easy to plant spies here.

Li Ziqing smiled slightly, “Of course it’s true. I’ll take you to see an interesting guy, and by the way, I’ll tell you about what happened when I came to the Imperial City last time.”

“Oh? Then I must listen attentively!”

Chen Xiao replied with a smile.

He had long heard that Li Ziqing had caused a great disturbance in the Imperial City last time, causing one death, one madness, and one serious injury among the promising young people of the Five Great Families.

But Chen Xiao had never asked what exactly happened back then…
