Immortal Father
Chapter 289 - 289 109 The Heroine's Kiss Ping'an Comes Out of the Mountain

289: Chapter 109: The Heroine’s Kiss, Ping’an Comes Out of the Mountain 289: Chapter 109: The Heroine’s Kiss, Ping’an Comes Out of the Mountain Holding the [Wanyun Enlightenment] jade token officially recognized by the Wanyun Sect, Li Ping’an just wanted to find a hole in the ground and lie down in it.

“Dad.”

Li Ping’an grabbed Li Dazhi’s arm, his eyes flickering with a touch of reluctance:

“In the future, take good care of yourself in the sect.

I don’t mind if you remarry, and having another child would be good as well.

I’ve looked into Aunt Xiaoyue, she’s never been in a relationship before.”

Li Dazhi glared, “What’s the matter?

You planning to betray the sect?”

“Betraying the sect is out of the question.”

Li Ping’an sighed:

“I can’t stay here another day.

“As soon as I show up, a bunch of elders will come up to me with questions.

I’m not even a True Immortal yet, really…

It’s not something that can be discussed publicly within the sect.

Was it Teacher Yun Zhongzi who was giving the lecture?”

“Well,” Li Dazhi chuckled, “my master’s intent was not to make it public.

It’s enough that a small number are aware of it.

Besides, the rumors outside are even more exaggerated.

Where are you planning to go?”

“I’ll head to the East Sea market town to lay low first!”

Li Ping’an perked up.

In fact, this was all just joking talk, as he had more important things to do.

Hiding in the sect was indeed safe, but to affect his father’s upcoming tribulation, he had to start from the Demonic Path as a focal point.

Blood Fiend Hall was a good handle!

“Dad,” Li Ping’an said earnestly, “please make sure to tell me in advance when you’re about to break through to Heavenly Immortal.

Also, once you become a Heavenly Immortal, don’t go out casually.”

Li Dazhi frowned, “Why do I feel like you’re hiding something from me?”

“Just listen to me, okay!”

Li Ping’an continued to instruct:

“Don’t spread the word about my leaving.

I will leave a small puppet in the cave dwelling, and my master will come over with me later.

I’ll also take Wen Ling with me.

“Dad, please come over and check the cave dwelling from time to time, keeping the sect’s grand formation active here.”

“What about Ningning?”

Li Dazhi laughed:

“Take Ningning with you.

When you come back, bring me a chubby grandson—cough, of course, a granddaughter is equally good.

I don’t discriminate between the sexes!”

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched a few times, and he sighed:

“Don’t rush me about Ningning.

I really am trying.

“I will probably visit Ningning’s family in about a year and a half.

Later, I will send you a letter every month, and I’ll include one for Ningning as well.”

“This is for you.”

Li Ping’an took a storage ring from his sleeve and placed it in his father’s palm.

Li Dazhi glanced at it and saw it contained various cultivation resources, as well as some puppets, calligraphies, and art pieces, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.

He said, “Do you think your father is short of these things?”

“It’s different, ” Li Ping’an laughed, “These are earned by myself, not what you gave me before.

Now I’m the inspector for the Eastern Alliance, and it’s sort of like starting work.

I should at least present you with a token of my filial piety.”

“Hahaha!”

Li Dazhi laughed heartily, tucking the ring away, and chuckled, “Alright, alright, a token of filial piety.

How long do you plan to be gone?”

“At least half a year, and at most perhaps three to five years.”

Li Ping’an said:

“I’m going to lease a small courtyard and discreetly investigate some matters regarding the Demonic Path.

I have a rough plan in mind and am preparing to submit a petition to the Eastern Alliance.

“Taking on the Demon Cultivators single-handedly would be unwise.

“But leveraging the power of the Eastern Alliance is different.”

Li Dazhi waved his hand, “That’s your own career.

Go and strive for it, don’t worry about me.

I’ll continue to cultivate in the Wanyun Sect, but there’s something else, you should prepare yourself mentally.”

“What?

You’re getting married to Aunt Xiaoyue so soon?”

“Get lost!”

Li Dazhi made a kicking gesture.

Li Ping’an dodged with a laugh, but then his smile froze on his face.

Li Dazhi cleared his throat, revealing his own Dao Charm.

A True Immortal at the peak of Great Perfection!

Just half a step away from breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

Li Ping’an:…

Was he the only one who hadn’t broken through after Teacher Yun Zhongzi borrowed his voice to lecture the entire sect?

Li Ping’an felt a sense of urgency again.

His father’s cultivation was nearing Heavenly Immortal!

…

An unexpected Yunzhong lecture disrupted many of Li Ping’an’s plans.

His father was nearing Heavenly Immortal, but he hadn’t even left the sect’s gates.

In a way, it was his own fault.

Li Ping’an carefully recalled the events for a long time, finally confirmed that he only wished ‘don’t break through, don’t break through’ in his heart while offering incense to the Three Pure Ones, but forgot to do so when offering incense to Teacher Yun Zhongzi.

Teacher Yun Zhongzi misunderstood his intent, leading to this great opportunity for the Immortals of Wanyun Sect.

Which was good after all.

The sect became stronger, and his support within close reach was more stable.

This incense offering incident also proved that…

No matter how powerful the Three Pure Ones were, they had nothing to do with him.

Teacher Yun Zhongzi was the reliable one!

Li Ping’an’s departure plans were already underway, being prepared in full swing.

—In fact, it was Wen Ling who was scurrying about packing up luggage.

His trip to the shores of the East Sea was, on the surface, to offer Elder Yansheng strategic advice or rather, to lead Elder Yansheng in managing one of the Wanyun Sect’s most important economic industries;

In reality, it was to investigate the various factions of the Demonic Path.

Li Ping’an’s intention to submit a petition to the Eastern Alliance couldn’t be baseless; he had to deeply integrate into the grassroots level, personally visit various places before he could write this ‘report.’

As for how to deal with the Blood Fiend Hall and the Sea Watch Sect, Li Ping’an only had a rough idea.

He would need to arrive at the market town on the shores of the East Sea before making any plans.

The thought that he might not see Priestess Ningning for at least half a year stirred a sense of reluctance in Li Ping’an’s heart.

But Ningning Mu had not been seen for two straight days, likely having gained an insight and was in closed-door cultivation.

Wen Ling finished packing up all kinds of luggage;

Priest Qing Su from the Mundane Affairs Hall brought over three Wanyun Return to Sect orders that hadn’t yet been put to use;
