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

Chapter 653: Chapter 224: Confronting the Martial Saint Horse Face Exposure, My Daughter is 5 Years Old [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3

“In just four short years… from a wood carving shop laborer in a small world family in a small city, to become a Second-Class Guest Official at the Astronomical Observatory?”

“Skilled in mechanical manufacturing and having given birth to a divine daughter with a purple aura a thousand feet long, getting into the Authentic Divine Sect, in just a short four years, relying on his daughter for glory, he climbed from a small city to Dao City.”

He took the wolf brush, dipping it in thick ink.

His eyes became deep, with a hint of wisdom that seemed to see through everything.

Thus, beside the name Li Che, he slowly wrote down two characters.

[Horse Face]

…

…

Lord Xie sent Li Che back to Liuxiang Lane.

“Lord Xie, do you know what the Governor’s Office official’s cultivation is?”

Before parting, Li Che curiously asked.

Xie Jing laughed: “Do you feel somewhat oppressed, as if everything about you was seen through?”

Li Che did not directly respond but nodded.

Yes, that Divine Sense was too strong, forcing Li Che to use the power of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, revealing a trace of his Qi-Blood and exposing his cultivation from the Grandmaster Initial Realm to the Grandmaster Latter Realm.

“The Governor’s Office official is a newly ascended figure in the martial path… not weaker than the Divine Fetus Great God.”

Xie Jing only said this much mysteriously.

Then he bid farewell and left.

“Martial path comparable to the War God’s Fetus; that would naturally be the Martial Saint…” Li Che’s eyes glittered.

This was the first time he had met a Martial Saint.

Truly terrifying, the energy contained within was too immense, as if tens of thousands of Divine Element True Person Divine Chess Pieces’ worth of energy from a Great Avalanche were exploding at once.

And what was most important was that Wenlong Yuwen could actually suppress such energy within his body without any leakage, and yet he could successfully control it.

Truly terrifying and powerful!

This was Li Che’s first time confronting a Martial Saint face to face; even a Martial Saint in a state of resting latent potential, not engaged in combat, also evoked a chilling sensation.

“I can’t defeat him… I simply can’t beat him…”

Li Che let out a sigh of turbid breath.

“If Wenlong Yuwen, a newly ascended Martial Saint, is this horrifying, then how terrifying must Ji Moli be? He’s reached the pinnacle in the Martial Saint Realm and is also a Vassal King who is a Divine Fetus Great God…”

A strong sense of crisis suddenly shrouded over Li Che.

Having never seen a Martial Saint, one is like a frog in a well looking at the moon.

Having seen a Martial Saint, one then understands… I’ve underestimated the strength of a Martial Saint.

Previously, in the mysterious events within the Strange Que of the Third Prince’s Strange Temple, amidst the resonance of the Temple God, the Martial Saint’s Will hidden within Ji Hai’s bloodline was shattered, which made Li Che feel that Martial Saints were not so extraordinary after all.

Li Che slapped his own face.

“This world is dangerous; the former way of looking at the moon from the bottom of a well isn’t sufficient, it needs to change.”

“For any enemy, they must be treated with utmost solemnity and respect.”

Looking at the hazy spring colors, Li Che turned and entered the yard.

…

…

The spring rain falling on the black tiles, like water droplets continuously dripping from a leaky copper bell, broke apart with a continuous ticking sound.

Time slowly drifted away amidst the distorting and shattering of the spring rain.

Since the day the Temple Control Bureau took Li Che away for investigation without result, Li Che no longer continued to observe the Temple God as an Official of the Heavenly Oversight.

However, Li Che had not given up on summoning the Strange Temple’s Temple God.

After all, according to Li Che’s cultivation plan, in order to transform his Seven Emotions Divine Base into a Divine Minister, it was best to use the method of summoning gods through the Temple God.

Therefore, Li Che did not give up, but instead took an extremely stable approach, one that no one could discover.

Although Li Che no longer went to observe the Temple God, the Astronomical Observatory would still organize the Guest Officials to do so, as only through observing the Temple God can the level of Woodcarving Masters be improved.

And Li Che could then hide a Thunder Chess Piece on the body of an Official from the Astronomical Observatory who was about to enter the Mysterious Temple.

Once inside the Mysterious Temple, Li Che would remotely control and allow the Thunder Chess Piece to shake and fall, hiding it within the Mysterious Temple.

It was like planting a seed.

Furthermore, Li Che was continuously dropping chess pieces.

Like an experienced and cautious chess player constantly placing stones and strategizing.

He chose only the Qi Yuan Mysterious Temples, and he hid a Thunder Chess Piece in each of the five Qi Yuan Mysterious Temples.

About half a month or so, Li Che would then quietly enter one of the Mysterious Temples in the dead of night and conduct a low-profile summoning ritual.

Life went on in this orderly manner.

Li Che went to the Divine Eagle Ridge once, inquiring about the time for the Elder examination.

The first time he went, one of the reception Elders at the Divine Eagle Ridge almost drove him away due to his young age.

Had Li Che not produced Jiao Shaoqiu’s referral Jade Pendant, he might not even have been given the chance to speak.

This made Li Che realize how much the Divine Eagle Ridge valued experience.

No wonder Jiao Shaoqiu said, it would be difficult for him, Li Che, to become an Elder of the Divine Eagle Ridge…

He would have to compete with Woodcarving Masters from all over, who have decades or even centuries of craftsmanship experience.

Li Che had been learning wood carving for only so many years…

Naturally, he was not looked upon favorably, but out of respect for Jiao Shaoqiu’s token, the reception Elder still received Li Che and told him that he would be notified in advance if the Elder assessment began.

Therefore, Li Che’s chance to obtain a short-term entry into the ranks of the Divine Sects was temporarily out of reach.

However, fortunately for Li Che, he was able to take Zhang Ya with him to see Xi Xi in the quiet of the night.

Initially, the Qiankun Dao Yun Plaque at the Mountain Gate would react to Li Che’s arrival by giving some feedback.

Later on, the Qiankun Dao Yun Plaque started to ignore him, allowing Li Che to come and go as he pleased.

Zhang Ya was able to see her daughter every day, and no longer felt such a longing, so she put more energy and focus into the cultivation of martial arts and divinity.
