Chapter 1579: Chapter 24: Leaving Without a Trace, Concealing One’s Identity and Fame

Little Qilin turned around, pouting: "I’m not coming anymore!"

"I’ll never come again!"

The Old Qilin was amused by this childish behavior and burst into laughter.

The tall scholar, with a Divine Weapon at his waist, said: "Old friend, you promised good fruits, but are you really willing to give them?"

He turned slightly, looking at the Old Qilin beside him:

"You spent three thousand years finally seeing a possibility to break the auspicious status limit of Qilin, only to give it away like this?"

The Old Qilin said: "As you said, it’s just a possibility."

He gazed into the distant sky and said: "Qilin is merely an auspicious creature. At most, it reaches the Nine Heavens level when its lifespan is about to end. But like the Red Dragon and the White Tiger, which govern the realms of slaughter and battle, those are domains other auspicious beings cannot reach. I’ve been attempting and advancing for these three thousand years, finding that slight possibility."

"However, I am old now."

"The road is ahead, but does it matter so much who ultimately takes that step?"

"It’s merely passing on the fire."

Gongyang Suwang smiled and said: "But if you intend to guide him, why not leave here together?"

"After eight hundred years, the lineage of the Red Emperor is coming to an end."

The world’s great forces are in turmoil, heroes rise from all directions, yet the Red Emperor of the Central State once again exhibits courage akin to his ancestors.

Each of these matters is manageable individually, but together they surge like mighty rivers, inevitably leading to the end. Both the Fire Qilin and Gongyang Suwang can foresee the direction of this outcome.

The Old Qilin replied: "After eight hundred years here, we must witness an end, right?"

"In the earliest generation, a disciple of the great teacher knew rebellion was imminent, yet still went to protect that ruler, dying without removing his crown."

"The focus is not on loyalty or anything, but on whether one can uphold their path."

"For old fellows like us, we still must witness this conclusion."

Gongyang Suwang smiled and nodded.

......

Li Guanyi took the two youngsters back to their residence, tossed them onto the bed, and then rested himself. The next day, he met with Ji Zichang to discuss how to move the Overlord Secret Treasure’s weapons and armor to Jiangnan. After much thought, they decided to utilize the power of Changfeng Building, starting from the waterways to enter the harbor metropolis of Jiangnan.

General Yue, Niu Wei, and others were also prepared.

All were mounted and waiting around the large ship.

Li Guanyi took the little princess’s birthday gift. As Ji Zichang and Noble Consort Wen bid farewell, they were holding the child. Li Guanyi smiled and said: "I took something, but it wasn’t for nothing."

The little princess waved her arms, making cooing sounds.

Li Guanyi took out an item from his arms and placed it on the little one’s arm.

Noble Consort Wen and Ji Zichang looked; it was a wooden sword, small and exquisite, with a carved statue of a White Tiger.

The little princess seemed to love this item immensely.

Ji Zichang said: "What is this?!"

Li Guanyi replied: "In the turbulent world, after this journey, whether recuperating or crusading, I may not be able to visit her for years, let alone for the ’grasping the Zhou.’ So I thought, I’d just give her one directly."

Ji Zichang said, half-laughing and half-crying: "Grasping the Zhou requires the child to choose; what does it mean to just give one?"

Li Guanyi replied: "Anyway, she’s still a child!"

Ji Zichang: "..."

Li Guanyi joked, picking up a straight branch nearby with a flick of his wrist.

The branch suddenly vibrated, emitting a clear and resonant sword sound.

"I took your New Year money and birthday gift, today I’ll give you some compensation."

"As your adopted father, I’ll create a new swordsmanship for you."

"Watch closely, little one!"

Ji Zichang and Noble Consort Wen were stunned, instantly realizing the weight of this ’gift.’

Li Guanyi held this [wooden sword], raised his hand, stepped forward, and began to perform a set of swordsmanship.

He was already a contemporary top Great Grandmaster.

With martial arts that had experienced the Hundred Battles, he had also been passed down the legend of Sword Madman Murong Longtu. This newly created swordsmanship, although simple and ordinary in moves, contained hidden menace, reflected in the child’s eyes.

Suddenly, the sky thickened with clouds, heavily pressing down. Though it was daytime, the northwest side seemed faintly brightened by layers of starlight.

White Tiger Seven Stars!

Ji Zichang and Noble Consort Wen were stunned.

They saw above the sky, clouds drifting, stars swirling, and clear, impassable starlight slanting down. The starlight fell upon the wooden stick in Li Guanyi’s hand, and with a casual point, the starlight moved, falling on the little one, bathing her in the starlight of the White Tiger Sect.

The little one waved the wooden sword, making cooing sounds.

Li Guanyi, using "Mist Rain Jiangnan Tower Skill," left the Divine Charm of this swordsmanship.

And also—

"Tiger Roar Bone Forging Skills."

"Good daughter, your New Year money and gift were well worth it."

Li Guanyi smiled, casually tossing the wooden stick. Ji Zichang, who had Sixth Layer Heaven’s martial skills, could clearly feel that his daughter’s root bone and vitality seemed to have subtly enhanced. Full of joy, he wanted to thank again, but saw Li Guanyi ascend into the air, landing on his mount.

The fiery horse mount reared up, neighing like a dragon.

Li Guanyi did not look back, only waved his hand at them, laughing loudly:
