“”Master Li, it must have been quite an undertaking to come from Fei Lei City to Mansion City,” Shangguan Qinghong glanced at Li Che.
“My daughter’s Spirit Child Divinity is pretty good; revered Qingshan took notice of her and thus she left Fei Lei City ahead of schedule, which did spare her from a disaster,” Li Che said with a smile.
Shangguan Qinghong’s face stiffened upon hearing this.
“Ah? Master Li has a child already?”
Li Che paused with his hand holding the tea cup; he was already twenty-two… Having a child… Wasn’t that normal?
Shangguan Qinghong’s previously maintained posture relaxed abruptly, and she slumped into the Taishi Chair like a roguish maiden.
With a married man, there was no need to pretend anymore.
“That’s truly a pity,” Shangguan Qinghong said as she pulled out various candied fruits, sunflower seeds, and jerkies from the drawer in the tea table and began eating without any reservation.
What’s the point of maintaining an image in front of a married man?
It’s not like he’s going to marry her.
Li Che: “…”
However, Shangguan Qinghong seemed more relaxed at the moment.
The conversation between the two became more harmonious.
“Li, this is your examination token as well as your identity travel token. You can come to the Qintian Observatory tomorrow. The Guest Elder examination requires preparations in advance and needs the Chief Supervisor’s approval and stamp to proceed. I will need to go and report this in a while,” Shangguan Qinghong handed a wooden token to Li Che, which was surprisingly crafted from Spiritual Wood.
Jade light flowed from his fingertips, and information immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Divine Weapon (Top-Grade Ten Cities): Qintian Observatory Third-class Token]
[Craftsmanship: Crafted with Ninth Rank Spiritual Wood “Nanli Pine,” can store Divinity and Inner Qi, extremely sturdy, can be used as a brick, a symbol of identity]
[In Charge: Qintian Observatory Third-class Guest Official and Imperial Astronomical Executive]
…
Li Che examined the token, his eyes lighting up: “Nanli Pine?”
Shangguan Qinghong looked at him in surprise: “Li, you have good eyesight to recognize the type of Spiritual Wood of the token at a glance, which is extremely difficult.”
“Once you pass the examination, you can input your own Divinity or Inner Qi as a symbol of identity,” she said.
Li Che nodded and put away the token.
After discussing the details of the examination with Li Che for a while, he said his goodbyes and left.
Through the carved window, Shangguan Qinghong was cracking sunflower seeds, watching the black silhouette of Li Che, umbrella in hand, blending into the curtain of rain, her gaze flickered.
“Snap, snap, in front of the Qin Mansion Gate, someone was assassinated… It couldn’t be him, could it? I didn’t sense any Divine Foundation Divinity, his Qi and Blood Cultivation is just a Blood Exchange,” she thought.
“Killing someone in the Primary God-Base Realm with a single arrow, snap, snap, it seems the vicious lady of the Qin Family has kicked an iron plate.”
…
…
After leaving the Qintian Observatory, Li Che went to Fragrant Pavilion, packed up wine and dishes, stored them in his Qiankun Jade, and headed for home.
All along the way, the spring rain trickled down, striking the oiled umbrella with a dull sound.
Just as he arrived at the entrance to Listening Flowers Lane.
Li Che took a step and the water on the ground instantly rippled, the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit in his chest throbbed and the Heaven and Earth chessboard unfolded.
Within the crisscrossing grid of the chessboard.
Several auras rose up from the ground, shining like stars in his perception.
“One, two, three… Suddenly there are three more watchers with grey faces. What a poisonous woman,” Li Che said to himself without changing his expression, walking straight and poised into Listening Flowers Lane with his umbrella.
Three figures wearing grey masks, their eyes gloomy and breaths concealed, continued to follow their orders to track him.
The next day, there was rain with the spring breeze.
Li Che taught his wife Zhang Ya a more advanced Sinew Transforming exercise, and with the help of Pure Heart Divinity, he helped her sort out her body afterward.
He also routinely taught Xi Xi martial arts, and after sorting out the Divinity within her body to strengthen her physique, Li Che left the small yard.
After leaving Listening Flowers Lane, the three monitoring presences reappeared.
Li Che, unfazed, continued on his way to the Qintian Observatory with his umbrella.
Under the watchful eyes of the three Qin Mansion grey-faced monitors, he entered the Qintian Observatory.
The next moment.
Li Che gripped the Thunder Chess Piece in his hand, and as he stepped into the Qintian Observatory with his breath concealed, he vanished without a trace.
…
…
In the workshop courtyard.
The spring rain drizzled.
It dampened many pieces of wood.
Li Che sat on a chair, took out the “Dragon Tooth Bodhi” crafted from Dragon Tooth Boxwood, and carefully polished the patterns on it.
Once he finished the thorough polishing.
Li Che tore through the air with his fingers, pulling out a horse-faced mask which he put on his face.
Putting on the hat, he lowered the brim.
Click!
Along with the sound of metal friction and collision coming together, a slender gun barrel made from Seventh-Grade Spirit Wood Dragon Tooth Boxwood was fitted into the body of the gun.
“Namo Immortal Craftsman Bodhi Barrett” held slantwise in Li Che’s hand;, the only Dragon Tooth Bodhi pellet was pushed inside.

In an instant, a searing heat, a tumult as if a Jiao Dragon was roaring, surged with pent-up power!
Hundreds of miles away, ready to lock a soul!
With a light tap of his toes.
The horse-faced figure, like a silent ghost, merged into the pleasant drizzle of spring rain.”
