Chapter 134 – Li Daoming: The Sword God Senior Is Indeed Unfathomable!

“Master, has Grandmaster sent word back?”

Inside the library, Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment before quickly following up, “Where is Grandmaster now? Master, please tell your disciple…”

She naturally believed every word from the Jianghai Sword God without any doubt.

After all, her mission was to invite the Jianghai Sword God to emerge from seclusion. Now that there was finally news, she couldn’t let it slip away!

“Tch, he didn’t return.”

Seeing her excited expression, Qin Yang made up an excuse to brush her off, “The old master calculated that your family would face this calamity, and seeing that I’ve already taken you as my disciple, he entrusted me to tell you.”

“Oh.”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe felt somewhat disappointed, lowering her head to fiddle with the Starstone in her hand.

She had thought the Jianghai Sword God had come.

It turned out to be just a relayed message, getting her hopes up for nothing.

But then she reconsidered – now wasn’t the time to hesitate.

Since the Jianghai Sword God personally issued the warning, it seemed the coming enemies were extraordinary…

With this thought,

Li Qinghe raised her eyes, regained her composure, and nodded to Qin Yang: “Yes, Master, your disciple understands. I’ll go home later and relay this to father.”

“Alright, this matter is of great importance. Be careful on your way.”

Qin Yang looked toward the restroom direction, recalling the Demonkin who had attempted to self-destruct earlier.

Those who can fight fear most encountering those who don’t value their lives.

And these Evil Cult Demonkin were precisely such madmen who cherished not their lives.

What if in the future they came charging at Li Qinghe on the street with Starstone bombs, dealing eight hundred damage while taking a thousand in return… What could be done then?

If Demonkin died, they died –

They were social tumors endangering citizen safety.

But if Li Qinghe were gone…

He would lose his system-exploiting tool!

Such a blood loss!

Thinking of this, Qin Yang specially added: “The city hasn’t been peaceful these past few days, especially those Evil Cult Demonkin. You must stay away from them, disciple, and never confront them head-on.”

“Alright, your disciple understands.”

Li Qinghe nodded, “Thank you for your concern, Master.”

“Good that you understand. That’s all your master has to say, take care of yourself.”

After speaking, Qin Yang left her side and headed toward his slacking spot.

Going to find Xiaobai, preparing to get off work.

After all, he had done all he could as a human, given all possible help. With the inscribed Starstone Array Formation assistance, it should be enough to help the Li Family overcome this difficulty.

“Demonkin night attack…”

Li Qinghe murmured the information, recalling Qin Yang’s earlier instructions, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes as she also left the library.

……

Jianghai City, Southeast District.

Fuhai Villa District.

Rows of exquisite villas stood here, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with cranes perched in mountain streams, achieving perfect balance between humanity and nature.

Mountains and rivers gathered together, channeling heaven and earth’s Spiritual Energy, forming a natural blessed land for energy accumulation.

This was the most expensive real estate in all of Jianghai City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

And moreover, it was a seller’s market.

Those who could own a villa here were all either high-ranking officials and nobles, or business elites and political figures, holding pivotal positions in their respective fields.

Li Qinghe walked along the villa path, arriving at the core Li Family residential compound, making her way to the third-floor study.

Tap tap!

Two consecutive knocks.

“Come in.”

Li Daoming’s voice came from within the study.

Hearing this,

Li Qinghe pushed the door open, entered the study, then closed the door behind her.

“Qinghe? Why have you returned so early today?”Li Daoming was hunched over his desk, busy signing documents with his head lowered, and asked in a low voice, “Any progress on the matter?”

“Father, there’s something urgent I need to report to you.”

Li Qinghe approached the desk, paused briefly to organize her thoughts, and spoke gravely, “I just received news, Father—someone is planning to raid our Li Family tonight!”

As her words fell,

The sound of pen strokes in the study ceased.

Li Daoming looked up abruptly, astonished. “Where did you hear this, Qinghe? Could it be… you’ve successfully been accepted as a disciple under the Sword God?!”

“Well…”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe hesitated for a moment, pondering how to respond.

I have indeed been accepted under the Sword God…

But I’m only a grand-disciple of the Sword God…

It’s a far cry from my original goal—how embarrassing to admit!

Thinking this, she nodded and decided to bluff Li Daoming directly: “Yes, Father, I’ve been accepted under the Sword God. This was told to me by my Senior Brother, but I can’t say more about the details.”

“No problem, it’s fine if you can’t say more!”

Li Daoming laughed heartily upon hearing this. “Sword God Senior has a unique temperament and surely has his own customs. Don’t worry, as your father, I won’t disclose this to anyone else!”

As he spoke, he grew excited. “From now on, focus on learning well under Sword God Senior. You’re bound to achieve great things in the future!”

“Mm…”

Watching the ecstatic Li Daoming, Li Qinghe responded weakly, feeling a bit guilty inside.

It’s over.

Father actually believed it.

Forget it.

This skill of bluffing… I learned it all from Qin Yang!

“By the way, Father, I also have some Starstones given to me by my Senior Brother. He said they’re to help us through disasters and ensure safety.”

Saying this, Li Qinghe took out the Starstones from her bag and placed them on the table. “Please take a look.”

“Oh? Let me see.”

Li Daoming picked up a Starstone, carefully studying the Array Inscriptions on it, his gaze as deep as still water.

Time passed slowly.

Li Qinghe stood to the side, watching Li Daoming’s expression shift several times—sometimes with emotion, sometimes with surprise—as he held the Starstones, unable to put them down.

He occasionally let out exclamations of awe.

The mysteries of Array Formations were profound and extraordinary.

With her own strength at only two or three levels, she couldn’t comprehend them at all.

So she could only stand by and watch.

After a while,

Li Daoming set down the Starstones, leaned back in his office chair, looked up at the snakeskin decoration on the ceiling, and sighed with admiration, “The younger generation is to be feared, truly to be feared…”

“How is it, Father?”

Li Qinghe stepped forward and asked cautiously, “What did you see in them?”

“These Starstones are extraordinary, Qinghe. Did your Senior Brother really make these?”

Li Daoming picked up a Starstone, examining the Array Inscriptions, and praised, “The engraved array lines are neatly arranged, their thickness just right, and the intersections of the inscriptions are mysteriously profound—they’ve already reached the peak of the fifth level!”

“What?!”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe froze on the spot. “They’re actually at the peak of the fifth level?!”

I knew Qin Yang’s Array Formations were strong.

But peak fifth level…

That’s just too unbelievable!

How old is he now? Probably around the same age as me.

Yet while I’m still stuck at the second or third level, he’s already surged to the peak of the fifth!

Unbelievable!

Li Qinghe was bewildered.”Yes, I couldn’t be mistaken. These Array Formations have reached the peak of the fifth level.”

Li Daoming sighed in admiration, “Although I could create them as well, it would require at least half a month of preparation, ritual cleansing, and complete isolation from any external disturbances.”

“To have taught such a disciple, Sword God Senior is truly unfathomable!”
