Chapter 327 The South Was a Paradise

Later in the middle of the night, Qin Weibai took everyone to a villa area near West Lake.

The villa was bought by Qin Weibai a few years ago. As a foster daughter of Great Master Wuwei, Qin Weibai often came to Lin’an to visit him when he was alive. This villa was a place where she temporarily rested.

The villa was not far from Lonely Mountain.

When Lonely Mountain was still there, he who stood at the highest point with good eyesight could even clearly see the lights in the villa.

Now Lonely Mountain collapsed under the swords of Lin Fengting and Wang Tianzong. So this villa temporarily became a place where the Li family lived.

The villa was large in size with a good location. The flowers’ fragrance was overflowing and the landscape was visible.

Flaming Fire, following Qin Weibai to Lin’an, arranged the rooms for the left elite of the Li family. And Qin Weibai accompanied Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan was concerned about the status of Li Honghe.

Li Honghe changed his clothes but refused anyone to check his injuries.

He looked like the grandfather in Li Tianlan’s memory, but he was very different compared to the one who Li Tianlan saw at dusk.

There was no difference compared to Li Honghe three years ago.

There was a difference compared to Li Honghe before the battle tonight.

Li Honghe no longer bent his body but kept it straight. Although his hair was grey, he was in high spirits. He stood quietly in front of the window and looked at West Lake that was covered in the moonlight at night. The whole person seemed suddenly young and looked very tall and straight.

The more beautiful the exterior was, the more fragile the interior was.

The fear in Li Tianlan’s eyes grew even more intense.

“I am fine.”

Noticing his grandson’s gaze, Li Honghe smiled and said slowly, “You know my status. Now, for me, the injury is actually not important. As long as I am alive, it is nothing serious.”

Li Tianlan walked to Li Honghe and watched his still rosy and even glowing face.

“How is it going on earth?” Li Tianlan asked seriously.

“All right,” Li Honghe responded briefly after a moment’s silence.

“Tell me more?” Li Tianlan continued to ask.

“Tianzong completely dispelled the foundation of my Martial Arts. It also shattered the sword intent that I had accumulated for countless years. My foundation is completely loose. In the state where the body is out of balance, the strength will grow faster and faster. But now I have almost no sword intent. So even if the power grows very fast, it is impossible to explode my body for the time being. I still can live for some time.”

Li Honghe smiled and mocked at himself. “In this case, maybe I will live a little longer than before. As long as I can live, it will not be a bad thing.”

Li Tianlan kept silent. He did not know what to say for a moment.

“I am afraid that there is not much that I can help you in the future.”

Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan and smiled. “But you have Qin Weibai by your side. I am very relieved. Even if I were dead now, I would not worry about you. Tianlan, I have left a gift for you in Zhongzhou State and a gift abroad. This is what I can do for you in the end.”

“What gifts?”

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.

“After the end of your maneuver, you will get to them slowly,” Li Honghe whispered.

He took an emotional look at Li Tianlan and patted him on the shoulder. “Grandpa owed you. So you don’t have to thank me when you get the gifts.”

He looked in the direction of Lonely Mountain.

Lonely Mountain had disappeared.

The old man shook his head. “It’s a pity that Lonely Mountain no longer exists.”

“Lonely Mountain will be rebuilt,” Li Tianlan said with a soft voice.

Li Honghe uttered an “Eh” with a smile and suddenly asked, “Do you still hate the Wang family of Beihai?”

Li Tianlan was stunned.

“I do not.”

He whispered, “In fact, I have never hated the Wang family of Beihai. I don’t even hate Kunlun City. I mean it. I don’t think they have done anything wrong.”

He really had no hatred for the Wang family of Beihai and Wang Tianzong.

He admired Wang Tianzong’s strength, respected his temperament, and feared his strength. He exclaimed over the resources of the Wang family of Beihai. Only occasionally, he might think about the inaction of the Wang family of Beihai.

The Wang family of Beihai did not stand by back then.

Instead, the Li family took the lead in peeking at the Wang family of Beihai.

But it did not matter now.

All the ties of friendship and grievances were settled when Li Kuangtu rebelled and started the fight before.

The Wang family of Beihai was righteous and friendly.

But in Li Tianlan’s current position, they were opponents and enemies.

Li Tianlan did not want to evaluate their behaviors, for it did not make any sense at all.

If he had been Wang Tianzong, he would have made such a choice that year.

If he had been Gu Xingyun, he would have also set off the war of treason on the border.

But he was Li Tianlan now. Then he must consider the issue in the Li family’s position.

There was no absolute judgment for right or wrong, only a different position.

That was all.

“They did nothing wrong, nor did we.”

Li Tianlan whispered, “Since they are enemies, let’s make it plain. No more grievances.”

Li Honghe nodded and said quietly, “Okay.”

Both the Li family and the Wang family were unable to go back. After this night, even if there were grievances, they were all written off.

After Summer Solstice smashed the murderous weapon of the Li family, Infinite Sky, that year, Li Kuangtu’s Martial Arts foundation dissipated, and he fell from the Invincible Realm.

Tonight, Wang Tianzong hurt Li Honghe with the sword and dispelled his foundation, which made him be about to fall from the Invincible Realm.

Lin Fengting saved the Li family, but he did not stop Wang Tianzong’s breaking the last karma between the Wang family and the Li family.

After tonight, they could call it even.

Qin Weibai and Situ Cangyue were together.

In the large bedroom, the clothes of the Hidden God in Zhongzhou State had almost been completely untied. And the whole person was almost naked in bed.

But the embarrassing scene was not seducing, but somewhat terrifying.

There was blood slowly flowing all over Situ Cangyue’s body.

The tiny blood traces almost completely reddened her skin that was no longer young but still white and firm. At first glance, Situ Cangyue’s body seemed to be wrapped by countless densely-packed red threads.

Qin Weibai took a towel and treated the wounds on Situ Cangyue’s body. At the same time, she applied the powder on them little by little.

Situ Cangyue was full of small wounds everywhere. The wounds were not deep, but numerous. Now with the powder applied, some small wounds began to heal.

Flaming Fire was arranging rooms and preparing food for the Li family.

Only Qin Weibai could clean up the wounds for Situ Cangyue.

“They’re all skin wounds. It’s not a big problem.”

Qin Weibai wiped out the blood on Situ Cangyue’s body and said without thinking, “How is your internal injury?”

“Fortunately, not too bad,” Situ Cangyue whispered.

In the Divine List that ranked by the order of strength, Situ Cangyue’s ranking was far worse than Gu Xingyun. If it hadn’t been for the surprise attack of Setting Sun, she would definitely have been no match for Gu Xingyun. But the huge gap between the two sides’ strength was directly smoothed by the attack. Under the hit of Setting Sun, Gu Xingyun fought with her face to face. But this was not a big deal for Situ Cangyue.

The gap between her and Gu Xingyun was huge. But she was not so weak that she could not take a blow. Although she suffered some internal injuries, the injuries on her body were not even minor injuries for her.

Situ Cangyue raised her hand and quietly watched the ring on her hand.

Her hands were slender, white, and tender, with an even and crystal-clear purple ring on her finger. They seemed to be a perfect match in nature. It seemed that this ring belonged to her hands by nature.

Situ Cangyue quietly looked at it, with complicated emotions.

“You don’t want to give it up?” Qin Weibai asked her without even lifting her head.

“This is the murderous weapon Setting Sun. If it were you, would you give it up?” Situ Cangyue asked back.

“It is a murderous weapon that can no longer fire.”

Qin Weibai said calmly, “One useless murderous weapon is scrap iron. Even if it is used as a cold weapon in a fight, it’s common. Why should we be reluctant to give it up?”

Situ Cangyue was silent.

The murderous weapon that could not fire was actually a piece of scrap metal.

But the question was how many people in the Dark World could look at this problem so frankly.

Situ Cangyue had Setting Sun in her hand. Even if she was at the bottom of the Divine List, she would not be afraid of the top masters in the Divine List when Setting Sun could fire. For an Invincible Realm master, a murderous weapon meant an absolutely huge improvement in battle strength.

“How is Gu Xingyun’s injury?”

Qin Weibai dealt with Situ Cangyue’s injuries and immediately asked with a low voice.

Situ Cangyue quietly put on her clothes and then thought it seriously.

She knew Qin Weibai’s plan.

So she also knew the importance of this problem.

“He should still be alive.”

Situ Cangyue said, “But I’m not sure whether Gu Xingyun can remain in the Invincible Realm. Even if he can stabilize the realm, it must take him a long time to heal the injury. This is the best result. ”

“It is indeed the best result.”

Qin Weibai was silent for a moment and then whispered, “In that case, there is no need to keep it. What if Setting Sun is given to Kunlun City? It won’t be long before Tianlan gets it back.”

Situ Cangyue was still unwilling to give it up, but she still nodded her head.

Situ Cangyue already knew the ending when Setting Sun fired with a purple light.

The war tonight was a conflict in the Dark World and also the animosity between the super forces. But after all, this was Zhongzhou State.

The Wang family of Beihai, the Li family, Kunlun City, Sigh City…

The war could be regarded as the civil strife in Zhongzhou State.

The Dark World and Special Warfare System were only parts of Zhongzhou State.

In this world, personal strength was very important. But it was definitely not all.

Wang Tianzong was mighty, but it was impossible for him to sweep across the world alone. He also needed to consider political factors, economic factors, stability, balance, and compromise.

Situ Cangyue and Sigh City needed to consider these even more.

Sigh City did not enter the secular world before.

However, as soon as it entered the secular world, it directly used the murderous weapon of Zhongzhou State to target the God of War, the protector of Zhongzhou State.

It was impossible to hide this matter. Higher-ups of Zhongzhou State would express their wrath one after another before dawn.

At this point, even the Academics, which had good relations with Sigh City, would not speak for it.

The murderous weapon protecting the state was targeted at their own people.

For such a breach of the rules, Sigh City must do something that could satisfy everyone besides Kunlun City.

Setting Sun must be given to someone else. This was the most basic thing.

Even if Situ Cangyue was unwilling to give it up, this murderous weapon that had followed her for many years must be handed over to Kunlun City to soothe their anger.

A murderous weapon was not even enough.

Sigh City’s occupying the Dark World in northeast Zhongzhou State for many years would also be strongly impacted by Kunlun City.

From the moment the murderous weapon opened fire, this was the necessary compromise.

It was also a part of Qin Weibai’s plan.

“How is Setting Sun?” Qin Weibai asked softly.

“I have stimulated the energy of Setting Sun to the greatest extent. It will take at least three to four years for it to store enough energy next time,” Situ Cangyue said calmly.

Qin Weibai nodded.

After the war, Gu Xingyun was seriously injured. Kunlun City had an extra murderous weapon and expanded its sphere of influence to the northeast.

It seemed that Kunlun City’s strength had increased greatly. But they needed time to digest it. At least, before Gu Xingyun recovered from his injury, a murderous weapon that could not fire would not add any strength to Kunlun City. On the contrary, it would make them weak.

Under the condition that the comprehensive strength was far inferior to the opponent, the only thing Qin Weibai and Sigh City could do was to sacrifice their existing resources to secretly, quietly exchange some things so as to safeguard their core interests.

Sigh City lost the murderous weapon after this war. So they even lost the right to speak in the Special Warfare System of one or two provinces in the northeastern state.

After paying these prices, the core interest they needed to safeguard was undoubtedly Li Tianlan.

Gains went after losses.

“Everything is temporary,” Qin Weibai looked at Situ Cangyue and said.

Situ Cangyue nodded her head and suddenly asked, “What did the Wang family of Beihai say?”

Li Honghe was the former God of War of Zhongzhou State.

Although the treason of Li Kuangtu had tarnished the Li family’s glory, for Li Honghe, he would still be one of the senior founding members of Zhongzhou State and had a very high status.

Situ Cangyue should not use the murderous weapon to target at Gu Xingyun.

However, Wang Tianzong took the initiative to attack the venerable former God of War of Zhongzhou State. This was even more inappropriate.

If Li Honghe died tonight, it would be impossible to talk about everything.

But now Li Honghe was alive. It was believed that many people in Zhongzhou State would say that the Southeast Group must also pay for what Wang Tianzong did tonight.

The Li family was also bound to get compensation.

This was the rule.

This was a rule that everyone followed.

“I don’t know. I listen to Tianlan. He gets what he wants.”

Qin Weibai smiled and said, “Now… our distinguished guest should be on his way.”

“You did all this for him…”

Situ Cangyue looked at Qin Weibai with complicated emotions. “Is it worth it?”

She paused and continued, “Have you regretted it?”

Qin Weibai slightly stiffened her body for a moment.

“I don’t regret. It’s worth it,” she whispered softly, but her tone was full of firmness.

After tonight, the plans that had been worked out for many years would begin and everything would be irreversible.

Li Tianlan’s East Emperor Palace would gradually be improved and eventually form a real prototype after the maneuver.

It was not until this moment that Qin Weibai was sure that she had really done everything she could.

Everything.

She had created a paradise for the man she loved most.

She had also created the hell for herself.

Qin Weibai suddenly smiled and asked softly, “Have you ever regretted falling in love with Li Kuangtu?”

Situ Cangyue paused and looked at Qin Weibai.

Qin Weibai’s eyes were quiet and deep.

Situ Cangyue shook her head. “No.”

This was a mark of respect for her feelings and for herself.

Even if Li Kuangtu was really a traitor.

Even if Li Kuangtu was really heinous.

However, for anyone, no matter what the nature of the person who one fell in love with was, for now or future, one did not need to regret as long as one had loved.

Because one had loved that person.

When Qin Weibai went downstairs to return to the living room, Li Honghe had gone upstairs to rest.

Li Tianlan was still sitting in the hall.

Lin Fengting, who had left soon after arriving at the villa, reappeared in the hall. Beside him was a handsome young man with almost the same bearing as his.

The three were chatting casually.

Qin Weibai quietly went downstairs and came to Li Tianlan’s side.

Lin Fengting looked at her and smiled. “Boss Qin, let me introduce my son Lin Youxian to you. You are all young people and should support each other in the future. Youxian, this is Qin Weibai, Boss Qin. You should call her elder sister.”

Lin Youxian had followed Lin Fengting to Lin’an.

Lin Fengting went to Lonely Mountain first. Lin Youxian did not catch up with the last great sword but was brought here by Lin Fengting.

Lin Youxian smiled and stood up, watching Qin Weibai. He did not know what to do for a moment. Then he calmed down again but did not dare to take the initiative to reach out his hand. He just scratched his head and smiled. “Sister Qin, I am Lin Youxian.”

“What Sister Qin? Call her sister!”

Lin Fengting frowned.

Lin Youxian looked at his father with an eccentric look and then said with a forced smiled. “Sister.”

Qin Weibai nodded with a smile, took Li Tianlan’s arm, and sat next to him. She chuckled and said, “This is my husband. You should all know him.”

The playful smile of Lin Fengting was fading away.

In no time, Lin Youxian understood what did Qin Weibai’s seemingly useless introduction mean.

She looked at Li Tianlan and felt a little embarrassed.

He called Qin Weibai sister.

What should he call her sister’s husband?

This boy… When they first met, Tianlan called him Brother Lin…

Li Tianlan also felt somewhat embarrassed. He glanced at Qin Weibai quietly.

Qin Weibai smiled and looked glamorous.

When Li Tianlan just wanted to speak, Lin Youxian had already taken the initiative to reach out his hand. The two people seemed to be as formal as they met for the first time. “Hello, brother-in-law.”

“Brother Lin, you’re too polite.”

Li Tianlan took Lin Youxian’s hand and smiled bitterly. “We still call each other separately. You are elder than me…”

“Sister’s husband is brother-in-law, not according to your age.”

Lin Fengting interrupted Li Tianlan, “Boy, you don’t need to explain it more. That’s a deal.”

Qin Weibai looked at Lin Fengting with emotional eyes and said with a smile. “I didn’t prepare the first meeting gift in advance. Youxian called us sister and brother-in-law. He must feel disappointed.”

“We’re family. Don’t worry about it,” Lin Fengting whispered.

Qin Weibai looked at him deeply. She seemed to think of something and nodded.

“Little Bai, why don’t you let Tianlan go to Wuyue for development?”

Lin Fengting changed his address to Qin Weibai and asked naturally.

Li Tianlan subconsciously turned around and glanced at Qin Weibai.

“Wuyue…”

Qin Weibai was calm and whispered, “It is too complicated.”

“As far as I know, Wuyue is still more suitable for the development of Tianlan. Although it is the territory of the Wang family of Beihai, it is now very complicated inside. If Tianlan is careful, he may be able to create his own foundation in Wuyue.”

Lin Fengting quietly said, “Wang Qinglei is now the top leader of Wuyue. He is somebody.”

“Even if he has a foundation, it is also a fake one, at least not stable.”

Qin Weibai shook her head and looked at Li Tianlan.

“The foundation of the East Emperor Palace should be in the south,” she said softly.

“South?”

Li Tianlan repeated it.

Qin Weibai nodded.

“The most southern place.”

She held Li Tianlan’s hand and said gently, “There will be a chance soon. It is the most appropriate for you to go to the South.”

In the southernmost part of the state, she had prepared everything for Li Tianlan. It only took one chance. And there would be Li Tianlan’s journey to heaven.

Qin Weibai was even ready for the chance.

The southernmost part of Zhongzhou State.

It was not Nanyun Province.

It was Tiannan, the south of Nanyun.

The place was nearly 40,000 square kilometers, nominally belonging to Annan State. Now it was actually under the control of Zhongzhou State.

For Li Tianlan, the South was a paradise.
