Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi lowered his head, staring blankly at the wine gourd in his hand, then suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Sorry, I took so long to come see you."

"Haha, do I look a bit of a mess now?"

A colorful butterfly suddenly landed on the back of Li Guanqi's hand, gently fluttering its wings, as if Ning Xiu was telling Li Guanqi that she didn't think so.

The corners of Li Guanqi's lips slightly curved upwards as he tilted his head back and drained the wine in the gourd in one gulp!!!

He sat there on the mountain peak, talking to himself for a long time, until he left late at night.

After Li Guanqi left, the tranquil mountain peak seemed to be shrouded in an invisible force, preventing anyone from approaching it.

A four-foot sword energy hung above the ancient tree, guarding this pure land.

Li Guanqi himself didn't know why he unconsciously came here.

Perhaps his heart still felt burdened and he had no one to confide in, not even Meng Wanshu.

If he told her, both of them would feel a little heavy.

But after finding Ning Xiu, he wouldn't feel any burden in his heart…

By the time Li Guanqi returned, it was already late at night, and he went to check on Tang Ru again.

When he went, he found that Tang Ru had already begun to silently cultivate the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Art. Although it was painful, he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Because Tang Ru himself knew very well that his talent wasn't very high.

Since Li Guanqi had given him this chance to turn things around, he would definitely grit his teeth and seize it.

Looking at the seriously injured Cao Yan and Xiao Chen, Li Guanqi felt a little complicated.

Gu Li hadn't left; his injuries weren't serious.

Hundreds of talisman papers floated behind him, and spirit light flickered as talisman pens rapidly drew talismans.

It was clear that this kid was really heartbroken after this battle.

The previous battle had consumed nearly millions of talismans, which were all pure spirit stones.

However, Gu Li didn't mention these expenses at all.

Seeing that everyone's condition had stabilized, Li Guanqi said softly, "Want to go for a drink?"

Gu Li shrugged and nodded, "Okay, let's have a drink!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the two of them could turn around, Cao Yan suddenly woke up and flashed to their side.

He said expressionlessly, "I'm going too."

"Me too."

"Take me with you."

Xiao Chen and Tang Ru all woke up, and they looked at Li Guanqi with complicated expressions.

Li Guanqi squeezed out a smile and said softly, "Okay, tonight, we'll have a night of drinking on Jade Pot Peak."

After the group left, the people from Ziling Cave did not come to disturb them.

Their figures flew, and they went directly to the top of Jade Pot Peak.

Jars of strong liquor were laid out, and everyone drank in silence without saying a word.

No one used their Yuan Power to dissipate the alcohol fumes…

After a long while, Cao Yan smashed the wine bowl in his hand and said angrily.

"Damn it, that bastard actually left a backup plan in Second Brother's ghost hands!!"

Xiao Chen frowned as he looked at the shards on the ground and said, "Third Brother!! Enough, don't say anymore."

Li Guanqi's large hand was hidden in his sleeve, stroking Ye Feng's life jade slip, his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

He said calmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring back Lao Er."

"The Fiend… is not something we can deal with right now."

"So… today I want to say two things."

Cao Yan looked up slightly at Li Guanqi, waiting for what he would say.

Xiao Chen was also drinking, glanced at Li Guanqi and did not speak.

Li Guanqi looked at the people beside him with gentle eyes and said softly.

"Tang Ru."

"Hm?"

"Are you willing to be brothers with us?"

The little fatty, who had lost a lot of weight, scratched his head with a silly smile and said a little embarrassedly.

"I want to, but I'm so weak right now…"

Xiao Chen chuckled and said softly, "That's great, hahaha."

"Why are you worried about that? Becoming brothers has nothing to do with your strength or realm."

"Just like that Li Cong, who he becomes sworn brothers with just depends on his gut feeling."

Tang Ru smiled foolishly and didn't speak, his restored eyes twinkling.

Li Guanqi turned to look at Gu Li and smiled, "How about being the sixth?"

Gu Li shrugged and muttered, "Gu Lao Liu? This ranking sounds weird."

"Why not call me Gu Lao Wu? Tang Lao Liu sounds pretty good too."

Li Guanqi smiled slightly, and Tang Ru laughed, "I'm fine with anything."

Li Guanqi said softly, "Then that's it, Tang Ru is ranked fifth, and Gu Li is the youngest!"

Cao Yan nodded silently, still very approving of the two of them.

Whether it was Tang Ru's actions this time, or Gu Li's behavior from beginning to end, he approved of them.

Xiao Chen was even happier because his status had risen by two ranks for no reason.

Everyone raised their wine and drank together, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

After three rounds of wine, Li Guanqi said softly, "This doesn't count as official, after all, Ye Feng isn't here."

"When Ye Feng comes back, we'll do it again!"

Cao Yan nodded heavily, he also felt that it was inappropriate to become sworn brothers with Tang Ru and the other two without Ye Feng.

Li Guanqi turned to look at Xiao Chen, his face gradually becoming serious.

Xiao Chen also realized something and quickly sat up straight.

"Big Brother, do you have something to say?"

Li Guanqi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Now the Xiao family and the Ye family are all in the Great Xia Sword Sect."

"We shouldn't show too much sadness about Ye Feng's matter, after all, he's still alive, and everything is still unknown."

"I went to the Ye family during the day and explained everything clearly."

"But after all, Lao Er isn't in the Ye family now, I don't care about your and Qing'er's matter, and I won't say anything more."

"During this time, you must stand up and protect the Ye family, if anything happens to their family, I will only hold you accountable!"

Xiao Chen patted his chest loudly and said in a deep voice, "老大, don't worry, leave the Ye family's affairs to me."

"Originally, I planned to take Qing'er home to see them during this time, but… it's not suitable now, and I will explain it to Qing'er."

Li Guanqi nodded and said softly, "You don't need to tell me about these things, just know it in your heart."

Gu Li said curiously, "What's the other thing?"

Tang Ru's eyes flickered but he didn't say anything. In his opinion, the matter between Xiao Chen and Ye Qing'er was nothing.

It wasn't enough for Li Guanqi to say it again separately.

Li Guanqi's sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces, and for the first time he felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of a strong enemy.

He said in a deep voice, "I'm going to… find a master for each of you!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was slightly stunned, not knowing what Li Guanqi meant by saying this.

Cao Yan frowned and said, "老大, are you saying that you want to find a master of alchemy for me? Is it Senior Gu?"

Gu Li couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. He had already figured out that his father's precious disciple was probably out of the picture.

Sure enough, Li Guanqi said in a deep voice.

"You all know that I have some kind of inexplicable connection with the Seventh Domain. I won't hide this from you, but I won't say what it is."

"But I'm going to let the Eight Generals be your masters!"

Hiss!!

As soon as he said this, Tang Ru and Gu Li both gasped.

Xiao Chen and Cao Yan didn't have the same reaction as the two of them, because they didn't have much of a concept of what kind of experts the Eight Generals were.
