“Cao Qingyuan’s birth mother is none other than Qin Yuqing of the Qin Family…”
Although Li Che had long been aware of this, he still showed a look of astonishment, “Cao Qingyuan’s death, what does that have to do with us…”
Liu He swept a glance around, then looked at Hai Chuanying, “Brother Hai, you might as well tell it…”
Hai Chuanying snorted with laughter, “You’re still afraid of getting involved.”
“This woman Qin Yuqing, the third daughter of the Patriarch of the Qin Family and also the core true successor of Gold Split Gate, appears gentle and accommodating on the surface, but in reality, she has an extremely vicious heart, likes to strike in the dark, and even more so, to torment people, known as the Jade-Faced Poisonous Rakshasa…”
“Perhaps it’s due to the influence of the Divine Foundation [Prison Rage Ghost King] she cultivates…”
“But this woman’s viciousness is notorious, she’s also the Qin Family’s hidden enforcer when dealing with issues, her son died in Fei Lei City, she will surely take her anger out on those from Fei Lei City,” Hai Chuanying said gravely.
“This may also be why Master Qingshan recommended Master Li in the first place…”
Upon hearing these words, Li Che fell silent.
“My daughter and I came for the Divine Sect Branch examination, does she really dare to mess with us?”
Li Che furrowed his brows.
Hai Chuanying, however, began to laugh, looking at Li Che strangely, “The examination hasn’t started yet, you haven’t joined the Divine Sect, right? It’s all premature…”
“When it comes to rules, these people play them well.”
“Although the Divine Sect is strong, the Five Great Clans of the Mansion City, as well as those Five Great Sects, have been entrenched here for hundreds of years, they are all at the level of local tyrants.”
Li Che understood.
He then chatted with the two about the specifics and situation of the Heavenly Oversight Guest Official assessment.
After a full meal, he said goodbye to Liu He and Hai Chuanying.
…
…
He ordered a table of dishes and had the waiter from Fragrant Pavilion send it to his residence in Listening Flowers Lane.
Li Che then went to another courtyard he had in Golden Light Prefecture City.
The courtyard was piled full with wood, the rich fragrance of timber wafting through the air.
Sitting on a wooden chair, Li Che’s fingertips emitted light, tearing open the air, taking hold of a big object with a grab of his five fingers.
It was the mechanism “Generation-1 Namo Immortal Craftsman Bodhi Barrett” that Li Che had finished developing and making.
Made from Seventh-Rank Spiritual Wood Dragon Tooth Boxwood, it took the ruin of several carving knives to be sculpted.
The Dragon Tooth Boxwood was exceedingly delicate and long, resembling dragon teeth in material, more pleasing to the eye than a work of art.
As for the bullets, “Dragon Tooth Bodhi”, Li Che had used Seventh Grade Spiritual Wood, with Bodhi Blood Tears, fusing the craftsmanship of Spirit Wood Raven, and spent great effort to make just one.
Even for only one, it took a tremendous amount of energy from Li Che.
Had he not developed Divine Sense after breaking through to the Divine Foundation, intricate work like this would have been uncertain.
Li Che also understood that, while Thousand Analyzing Hands were helpful, the importance of Divine Sense could not be overlooked.
With patience, he polished the smooth barrel of the Dragon Tooth Boxwood, maintaining silence, his eyes gloomy.
After a long while, he sighed deeply.
“In this world, I’m walking on thin ice…”
“But this world… it’s too dangerous.”
“I want to peacefully watch my daughter grow up, but there’s always someone who won’t allow it… wanting to break the ice beneath my feet, to let me fall into an icy pit…”
Li Che looked up, the spring breeze caressed his face, cold as ice to the bone.
Such was the case in Fei Lei City, and likewise in Mansion City…
Without any background, survival in this world is too difficult.
Like today, if not for the face given by Li Qingshan, those two third-class Guest Officials from Qintian Observatory probably wouldn’t have spared him a second glance.
“After all… I’m still not strong enough…”
Li Che stood up, his hand grabbed hold of the Dragon Tooth Boxwood barrel and another hand picked up the rest of the components, slowly assembling them together.
Sounds akin to the friction of metal, yet as if the most beautiful symphony amidst heaven and earth.
Click, click…
Once fully assembled, Li Che held it up with both hands.
He didn’t make a scope, because he didn’t need one…
If he really made a scope, it would be somewhat disrespectful to “Master Go-chess Saint”.
“The Qin Family… Qin Yuqing, eh?”
The Mud Pill in Li Che’s brow trembled, Divine Sense surged wildly, the gun body made from Dragon Tooth Boxwood was instantly activated, shimmering with patterns, Divinity slowly flowing into it.
A terrifying and dangerous aura emanated from the mechanism.
The wind… swirling violently, the currents raging!
Causing wood shavings in the workshop’s small courtyard to wildly fly about.
“Qin Yuqing… the core true successor of Gold Split Gate?”
“I wonder… can she withstand a ‘Dragon Tooth Bodhi’ bullet?”
“But I… only have one shot.”
Li Che exhaled slowly, focusing intensely as he continued to polish the Dragon Tooth Bodhi, ensuring precision, to guarantee that nothing unexpected would occur in the first shot of sniping.
To achieve a perfect, soul-piercing single shot.
“You, Qin Yuqing, are ruthless and vicious, Jade-Faced Poisonous Rakshasa, but I, Li Che, will confront you with nothing but fervor… honorably… to snipe you dead.”
In the small courtyard.
Li Che’s breath turned to thunder, his blood pounding.
Being targeted by such a venomous woman, one could hardly sleep peacefully.
Especially with Xi Xi still so young and adorable, such a tiny girl. If she were to fall into the hands of that venomous woman and suffer inhumane torture, Li Che as a father couldn’t bear the thought, the very idea twisted his internal organs in agony.
“I must… snipe her dead.”

“I must accelerate the advancement in my cultivation… ultimately I’m too weak, aiming to cultivate the Divine Vein as soon as possible. Master Qingshan said there are exclusive secret elixirs within the Divine Sect, a pity I can’t access them without joining, so I’ll have to see what good elixirs the Qintian Observatory has.”
“Additionally, the preparation for the Guest Elder assessment at Qintian Observatory… I must get ready for that, too.”
“Master Qingshan must have foreseen that Mansion City would be unstable, hence the recommendation. I cannot let down his expectations; the tiger’s skin of Qintian Observatory is indeed good.”
Li Che, in the small courtyard, laid out his future cultivation plan.
