But as Li Ping’an’s spiritual sense scanned the entire Peach Blossom Forest, he only saw the figures of Aunt Lin Fei, Xinhuai Wang, eldest Xu Sheng, and Daoist Zisang among others, but his father and Mu Cilin were nowhere to be found.
The elder Tianli and those offering-bearers from the eastern alliance must have already left, and Wen Rou, the Heavenly Immortal, holds a position within the eastern alliance too, so she probably rushed back to deal with public duties.
Did father run off with my future mother-in-law?
Li Ping’an was somewhat perplexed, flipped over to get up from the bed, stretched lazily, and saw that his Daoist robe had not been touched by anyone.
He then went outside with his hands behind his back.
Xiaoyue stood up to welcome him, happily saying, “Ping’an, you’re awake?”
Qing Su said calmly, “He woke up a moment ago and was stealthily looking around.”
Li Ping’an gave a clasped fist salute and hurriedly asked, “Where is my father?”
“This,” Xiaoyue pursed her lips slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on her beautiful face.
However, Qing Su said, “Master Dazhi was taken away by elder Tianli.”
Li Ping’an was a bit dazed.
Xiaoyue gently sighed but said,
“Who knows what offense our uncle has caused the Vice Alliance Hierarch.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch was beating and scolding him, even chased him around the Peach Blossom Forest for quite a few laps, and in the end even said something like…
‘I see you looking sleek and sly, just the person to take back for some trials,’ then took our uncle off to who knows where.”
Eldest Xu Sheng’s hearty laughter came from the side:
Can’t you understand?
Elder Tianli is simply too happy to see our talented nephew Dazhi.
“Look around, did elder Tianli give anyone else a second glance or half a word of reprimand?
“What elder Tianli calls ‘trials’ is purely about giving Dazhi a boon!
Don’t fret for nothing!
Just wait here for his return!”
Li Ping’an asked, “And Ningning’s mother?”
Master Qing Su replied, “She has been taken away by an envoy of the Western Queen Mother to cultivate in the Queen Mother’s secret realm.”
Li Ping’an was a bit surprised and pondered carefully, always suspecting that the Western Queen Mother was scheming something.
Qing Su added, “The Western Queen Mother has also invited you to visit her, saying that you have independently comprehended the Way of the Fountain of Youth, violating the agreement between the Human Race and her.
However, she also said that ignorance is not a crime, and she will not blame you for it.”
Xu Sheng, with his hands stuffed in his sleeves, laughed and said, “This is another piece of great fortune.
Not everyone gets invited by the Western Queen Mother.
Ping’an, you should just rejoice in secret.”
Li Ping’an nodded his head and after thinking for a moment, then asked, “Did the Western Queen Mother set a deadline?”
She said to come over when you have time.”
“Then I understand,” Li Ping’an nodded lightly.
He planned to constantly be busy in the future until his own man-made Fountain of Youth ran out.
Then he would visit the Western Queen Mother to get some of the authentic Fountain of Youth.
Right now, his bigger concern was about his father.
His old man, with his frail arms and legs, would not withstand elder Tianli’s harsh treatment.
It made sense when he thought about it; why did elder Tianli always seem to dislike his father?
Could it be that he secretly planned to rank Wen Rou as the second candidate in the “my father’s matchmaking plan” and elder Tianli knew about it?
Even then, he should target me.
Li Ping’an couldn’t figure it out no matter how much he thought.
Qing Su said, “Let’s eat first.
The rice paddy fish here are very good.”
“Okay,” Li Ping’an beamed and went over, inviting eldest Xu Sheng to taste them together.
Anyway, elder Tianli wouldn’t harm his father, Li Ping’an was quite certain of that.
‘Perhaps it’s my father’s Great Fortune at work.’
