My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 288 - 174: Xue Qianbai Goes Fishing, Li Hengsheng Is the Bait, Li Changqing Curses! (2)

Chapter 288: Chapter 174: Xue Qianbai Goes Fishing, Li Hengsheng Is the Bait, Li Changqing Curses! (2)

"I don’t know." Xue Qianbai shook his head, "Unless we catch Xueye, Xueye can tell us."

"So you think that when Saint Heng goes out to procure this time, he will definitely be assassinated by the Longevity Sect?" Xu Muhai guessed.

"If they don’t kill Li Hengsheng, are they coming to kill me? If they want to come, I don’t mind either." Xue Qianbai looked at Xu Muhai in surprise.

"Then I will secretly protect him." Xu Muhai hurriedly said.

"No need."

Xue Qianbai waved his hand, "You just stay at Muhai Peak to consolidate your cultivation, no need to worry about this matter. There are people more suitable than you to protect him, and if you suddenly disappear, it will easily alert the enemy. This celebration is prepared for you, you are the focus, just stay here."

Xue Qianbai had already written a letter to Li Changqing.

To protect his own son, Li Changqing was very dedicated and serious.

Moreover, the Longevity Sect would not act as soon as Li Hengsheng came down the mountain, as this would appear too hasty and would easily be caught by the Mountain Ancient Land.

They will definitely make a move on Li Hengsheng on the way back, so just let Li Changqing arrive early in Dao Mark City and wait for Li Hengsheng to arrive.

But just in case, Xue Qianbai also entrusted Li Jingsong to travel a bit of the road with Li Hengsheng to ensure Li Hengsheng’s safety.

If we don’t catch this Xueye, it will be even harder to catch him in the future.

We’ll have to wait for the sect leader to return.

Li Hengsheng himself didn’t even know that he had been used by Xue Qianbai as bait for fishing.

Li Changqing was even less aware that the letter he wrote to Xue Qianbai about the presence of Xueye in the Mountain Ancient Land resulted in his son being used as bait.

When Li Changqing received the letter, he was so angry that he cursed Xue Qianbai for being shameless, letting his own son take such risks.

But there was no other way. Perhaps this was the best method to flush out Xueye, and once Xueye was eliminated, his son would be less endangered.

And with Li Changqing’s presence, he would ensure that nothing happened to his son.

Unless the Longevity Sect dispatched an immortal being, otherwise, even if it were the Great Martial Sect, he could handle them for a round.

However, if the Longevity Sect could send an immortal being, they wouldn’t need to bother with assassination; they could just attack Mountain Ancient Land openly.

Might as well take this opportunity to visit the Evergreen Commerce Association, as he had never been there before.

Besides, with Li Jingsong escorting him all the way, Li Changqing just left Changting Town and headed to Dao Mark City ahead of time.

Li Changqing planned to go early to check if there were any traces of the Ghost Race in Dao Mark City. If any were found, even if they weren’t associated with the Longevity Sect, they should be dealt with first.

Better to mistakenly kill than to let them go!

He couldn’t let his son be in danger.

The next morning.

Li Hengsheng set off.

Three people went along.

Li Hengsheng, Yang Tiantian, and Xu Kui.

As Li Hengsheng’s steward, Xu Kui naturally had to accompany him. Though his cultivation was only at the Innate Realm, he had plenty of experience in the martial world.

Lord Zhou lent the poor Purple Lightning to Li Hengsheng to help pull the carriage.

Purple Lightning, a semi-spirit beast with noble blood, probably never imagined it would one day become a beast in harness.

Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian sat in the carriage, with Xu Kui driving it from outside.

The carriage moved swiftly, and when passing through Buhuo City, Li Hengsheng suddenly had an idea and said to Xu Kui outside, "Uncle Xu, there’s still some time left. Can we stop by Changting Town?"

"The young master wants to go to Changting Town?" Xu Kui looked at Li Hengsheng’s expectant eyes and then nodded, "Alright, it’s just a bit of a detour. With Purple Lightning, it won’t matter, so let’s go."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

At this moment, Li Hengsheng felt like an excited child.

"Excited to be going home?" Yang Tiantian smiled at Li Hengsheng.

"Yeah." Li Hengsheng sighed deeply, "I haven’t seen my dad for years. I don’t even know what he’s like now, whether he’s gained or lost weight, if his hair has turned grey, or if he’s living well every day. Even though he always tells me in his letters that he’s doing well..."

"But as parents, they might just say things to stop us from worrying." Li Hengsheng chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I’m unfilial, not having returned home even once in all these years?"

"You’ve done very well." Yang Tiantian, who had heard about her junior’s story from Xu Muhai, said, "Your father is now a patron of the Yan family and even holds shares in the Evergreen Commerce Association. His life won’t be too bad."

"Do you know how many branches the Evergreen Commerce Association opened in the Eastern Wilderness after the Ghostly Realm trial? Their fragrant tea is selling like hotcakes, and the pre-prepared foods in Dao Mark City are also in high demand. Don’t worry; your dad is definitely doing just fine." Yang Tiantian comforted him.

"Senior sister, how long has it been since you visited your family?" Li Hengsheng suddenly asked curiously.

"Me?" Yang Tiantian was startled, then shook her head, "I don’t have a family."

"Oh." Li Hengsheng felt he had asked a wrong question, noticing the trace of melancholy in Yang Tiantian’s eyes.

Looking at Yang Tiantian, who looked like a little child, her expression made one’s heart ache.

"Senior sister has been so good to me; we’re like siblings. From now on, my home is your home." Li Hengsheng sincerely said.

Hearing this, Yang Tiantian suddenly laughed, then teased, "You little one, is this how you tricked other girls before? Did you get Lu Qiaoqiao with this trick?"

"No way." Li Hengsheng quickly protested his innocence.

"Alright, just teasing you. I understand." Yang Tiantian suddenly said, "By the way, Senior Brother will also be returning in a few days. You haven’t met him yet, have you?"

"No, I haven’t." Li Hengsheng nodded.

"Senior Brother mentioned in his letter that he was eager to meet you." Yang Tiantian said.

"What kind of person is Senior Brother?" Li Hengsheng was curious about his senior brother’s temperament.

"How should I put it?" Yang Tiantian thought for a moment and then said, "You’ll know when you meet him."

"Still keeping it mysterious."

As the sun set, Purple Lightning finally arrived in Changting Town.

"Home."

Pulling back the curtain of the carriage, Li Hengsheng took in a breath of Changting Town’s air, looking at the bustling streets on both sides. His eyes carried anticipation.

"Quite lively." Yang Tiantian also looked out the window.

Although the town was small, it had everything one needed.

Before long, Li Hengsheng recognized a familiar place.

"Senior sister, look, that’s my house." Li Hengsheng pointed to a house not far away.

"Evergreen Painting Workshop?" Yang Tiantian raised an eyebrow, realizing that accompanying Li Hengsheng to Changting Town was a good opportunity. Xu Muhai had always hoped Yang Tiantian would seek Li Changqing’s help to solve some of her issues, and this was a good chance.

"Uncle Xu, let’s pull over here."

Xu Kui pulled the carriage over, and Li Hengsheng jumped down, heading to the door of the Evergreen Painting Workshop, wanting to push it open, only to find it locked with a chain.

"Your father no longer lives here; he’s certainly at the Yan family." Yang Tiantian said to Li Hengsheng.

"Oh, right." Li Hengsheng felt that his joy had clouded his mind and turned to head towards the Yan family.

The Yan family was only a few streets away from the Evergreen Commerce Association, not far at all.

From afar, seeing the gate of the Yan family, Li Hengsheng’s heartbeat quickened.

Li Hengsheng used to dream of returning to Changting Town and dreaming of seeing Li Changqing, but back then, it was more about fear—fear of seeing Li Changqing drunk every day, fear of him always asking for money.

But now, it was different.

Now, Li Hengsheng just wanted to appear before Li Changqing and give him a pleasant surprise.

To rush forward and embrace his father.

"Who goes there?"

As Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian arrived at the Yan Mansion gate, they were stopped by the guards.

"Li Hengsheng from the Mountain Ancient Land." Li Hengsheng looked at the guards and said politely, "I’m here to see my father."

Upon hearing that Li Hengsheng was a disciple from the Mountain Ancient Land, the two guards quickly and respectfully clasped their hands in salute.

"Who’s your esteemed father?" the guard asked cautiously.

"Li Changqing," Li Hengsheng replied.

"Gasp!"

The guards’ expressions changed; could this person be the son of the chief patron?

The news quickly reached Yan Botao’s ears.

"What? The chief patron’s son is here?" Yan Botao was also taken aback. How come Li Hengsheng came to Changting Town without any prior notice?
