As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 421 Equal to Heavenʼs Face Merges with Soldiers, Quenching the Body, Li Cheʼs Hunting God Pavilion Assassination Value [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3

Lu Yao nodded, ”Be cautious, the Godhunting Pavilion is an assassin organization... willing to kill for money, it seems they are looking to expand their operations to Mansion City...”

”The Young Prince might contact the Godhunting Pavilion to target Xi Xi. Itʼs one thing for Xi Xi to defeat the Young Prince Ji Haihui, but itʼs another if the Young Prince decides to eliminate his competitor...”

”During this time, make sure that Xi Xi pays attention to her safety.”

If Lu Yao hadnʼt valued Li Che so much, he would not have given Li Che such a warning.

Li Che became solemn, thanked Lu Yao with a clasped fist and a bow.

Lu Yao waved his hand and left the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building with Little Tang Ren, entering a carriage and heading toward Divine Carving Ridge.

Li Che stood still, his eyes flickering.

”Godhunting Pavilion...”

The Godhunting Pavilion never used to meddle with business outside of the Divine Capitalʼs Dao City.

But now, there seemed to be a trend towards moving down to Mansion City...

The assassins of the Godhunting Pavilion were still experts in the art of assassination.

However, when it came to the art of assassination.

Li Che was confident that he was second to none.

...

...

After his duties, Li Che went home with a somber expression.

He first went to Falling Flower Alley to pack some meals, then headed straight back to Zheng Lei Peak.

Inside the small courtyard.

Zhang Ya was practicing her boxing in the drizzling rain. Although she had just undergone Bone Tempering and her martial talent had been improved through Li Cheʼs Pure Heart conditioning.

Her foundation was still too weak; a breakthrough in Bone Tempering was unlikely in the short term.

Zhang Ya didnʼt mind and trained seriously. Each punch and move was executed with precision, and despite the monotony, she never complained.

Because she knew that only by diligently practicing could she have the slightest chance of catching up with her daughter and husband!

Zhang Ya even felt a bit despondent, thinking she was holding back Xi Xiʼs talent.

As a mother, she had no special talent.

Her husband was a Bull Demon with definite talent, and Xi Xi had surely inherited her fatherʼs gifts for cultivation.

”Husband!”

Zhang Yaʼs eyes sparkled, thinking of her husband just as he arrived home.

Li Che entered the courtyard and saw Zhang Ya practicing boxing; he smiled warmly.

After giving Zhang Ya some pointers, Li Che saw that it was about time and took her with him to Golden Light Peak to pick up Xi Xi from class.

”Daddy, Mommy!”

Xi Xi was practicing boxing with many other children on the Daping.

As Li Che arrived at Golden Light Peak, he almost blacked out.

Because the childrenʼs outfits were...

Each child wore sky-high pigtails, donned red bellybands, and were wrapped in Red Silk.

They were mimicking the Third Crown Princeʼs attire!

Even Little Fatty Zhou Peng was dressed up like this, resembling a spherical version of the Third Crown Prince.

The red bellyband couldnʼt even cover his drooping chin, his navel showing, which was quite the eyesore!

However, the stunningly beautiful Yun E in such attire still couldnʼt hide her natural loveliness.

Xi Xi, too, was dressed this way, barefoot in a red bellyband and little shorts, excitedly bouncing up when she saw Li Che and Zhang Ya.

She jumped energetically, her small feet moving rapidly.

Charging toward Li Che, her Red Silk flew wildly in the wind behind her!

”Daddy—!”

Xi Xi let out a loud cheer and shot towards Li Che like a bullet, crashing into his embrace.

Li Che helplessly held his overly lively daughter.

The other children followed their big sister and ran over.

Li Che was dizzy seeing a bunch of ”Third Crown Princes” and didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry.

So, they had started preparing for the Temple God Resonance in advance.

But why did the scene look so comical?

Nan Lihuo and Wang Kuyu floated over, the rain parting beside them, giving them an air of transcendence.

”For the Temple God Resonance... itʼs like this.”

”Every time itʼs like this, most will dress up like the Third Crown Prince to enhance the resonance with the Temple God.”

Nan Lihuo said with a smile.

”Little Sang, Yangyuan... even when they were young, they all went through this, even I did so.”

”Red bellyband, sky-high pigtails, Red Silk wrapped around the body... most Spirit Children of Golden Light Prefecture have donned such attire.”

Li Che couldnʼt help but laugh, ”What about Elder Qingshan? Does he also have such a dark history?”

”Dark history?” Upon hearing this, Nan Lihuo was taken aback.

That description... was quite apt.

”Li Qingshan didnʼt, he was taken in for his talent revealed midway during his path.”

Nan Lihuo explained.

”A Che, these days, how about keeping Xi Xi at Golden Light Peak? Iʼve heard that there are traces of Godhunting Pavilion assassins in Mansion City. Iʼm worried that the Young Prince Ji Hai might hire an assassin from the Godhunting Pavilion to make a move on Xi Xi.”

Nan Lihuo said.

Ever since Xu Jiuqing attempted to target Xi Xi last time, Nan Lihuo understood that Li Cheʼs trust in their protective measures for Xi Xi had diminished.

Sure enough, Li Che shook his head.

Nan Lihuo smiled helplessly.

And didnʼt dwell on it too much.

”With Elder Qingshan on Zheng Lei Peak and the life-saving item Iʼve prepared for Xi Xi, she should be able to hold out until Elder Qingshan in blue shirt takes action.”

Li Che nodded.

”By the way, in the coming days, keep this look for Xi Xi... Maintaining the image deep into the bones and flesh will be beneficial for the Temple God Resonance. This is advice from experience.”

Before leaving Golden Light Peak, Nan Lihuo cautioned.

Afterward, Li Che and Zhang Ya left Golden Light Peak with Xi Xi in their arms.

”Goodbye Sect Master! Goodbye Daoist Grandpa!”

Xi Xi said goodbye to Nan Lihuo and Wang Kuyu enthusiastically.

Xi Xi always showed enough warmth to familiar faces.

Golden Light Prefecture, winter rain continued unabated.

Light drizzles sprinkled over the human world. Continue reading on

They brought a washed, clear azure to Mansion City, which had been covered in heavy snow all winter.

Xue Dufu wore a bamboo hat, his sleeve-filled arms propped up by the condensed Gang Qi.
