Immortal Father
Chapter 519 - 519 Master Li's Leisurely Seclusion Routine

519: Master Li’s Leisurely Seclusion Routine 519: Master Li’s Leisurely Seclusion Routine Feng Tingzhu returned hastily after half a day and reported to Li Ping’an with a salute:

“Sir, I have found that Centurion Fu Yu has already returned to the Eastern Alliance to heal.

Due to the high number of his soldiers killed in battle, no specifics could be gathered.”

“Centurion Fu Yu is gravely injured and has overexerted his vital energy, I fear that he may struggle to undertake significant responsibilities in the future.”

Li Ping’an thought for a moment.

The Eastern Alliance should be more than capable of taking good care of a wounded True Immortal.

It would probably upset Centurion Fu if he intervened specifically on behalf of the Eastern Alliance.

Feng Tingzhu asked, “Is there anything else you would like to command, Sir?”

“Help me deliver a bottle of Elixir Pills to Centurion Fu.”

Li Ping’an took a jade bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Feng Tingzhu, and said slowly:

“Also, pass a message to the Centurion that if one day I manage to break through to the Elemental Immortal Realm, I shall seek his advice on the art of war formations.”

“Yes!”

Feng Tingzhu responded with a smile, turning and quickly departing.

While sipping tea nearby, Qing Su asked, “Centurion Fu?

Has he shown you favor?”

“In a way,” Li Ping’an smiled and explained, “I was previously sent by our Sovereign to Broken Dawn City, where I followed this Centurion and fought against demon beasts, which widened my horizons… By the way, Master, do you plan to enter seclusion next or continue to the frontline?”

“Magical Combat, exterminate demons.”

Qing Su’s eyes gleamed as she spoke softly:

“This cultivation of mine has indeed found its use here.

That Feng Zhansiang is commendable too, adept in the nuances of war formations, and possesses thorough research on the evolving situations of the battlefield.

“I have learned quite a bit from her and later intend to continue learning from her.”

Li Ping’an clicked his tongue: “My trusted aide has disappeared since coming to the frontlines, and I plan to enter seclusion here.

When you fight, Master, take care not to put yourself in undue danger!”

“Rest easy, but for you, if you want to enter seclusion, this is not a suitable place.”

After pondering for a moment, Qing Su offered:

“Let me take you back to the East Continent first.

“A major battle could erupt here at any time.

The Human Emperor and the Ministers might not be able to hold the fort, as the Demon Race has come extremely ferociously this time.”

Li Ping’an: …

Master, you can’t say such things!

Our Human Emperor takes great pleasure in eavesdropping!

Nevertheless, after pondering his options, Li Ping’an decided to heed his Master’s advice and return for cultivation.

He had been exceedingly busy these past few years, obliterating Blood Fiend Hall, engaging in Magical Combat with Forge-Heaven Gate, contributing new policies while slacking off in the Eastern Alliance, and quarreling with a group of women at Holy Mother Palace.

He was indeed stuck in the Dao Realm, but he could still assimilate his insights;

The insights he had accumulated over time were indeed too many.

The Western Continent’s warfare would likely persist for quite a while.

During this period, he would actually have some downtime.

The old war generals of the Eastern Alliance and the elder ministers of the Human Race had sufficient capability to deal with the current situation; his unsolicited advice would seem rather impolite;

Now, at war, he couldn’t possibly push for new policies; this would have to wait until after the Human Race emerged victorious.

If they did not gain a significant advantage this time, not only could he not promote new policies, but he would also need to ease the internal factions of the Human Race as much as possible.

Should he return to the frontlines as an immortal soldier to slay enemies?

Li Ping’an felt that his life would be more valuable developing “Fully Autonomous Immortal Armor” than on the frontlines.

As for the task assigned by the Human Emperor, to unravel the six-thousand-year-old mystery of the Holy Mother’s disappearance…

Li Ping’an thought that accepting a paddling was the best option.

With a conflict arising between the Human Emperor and the Holy Mother, the Emperor feeling slightly guilty, a mere second-rank Inspector like him was not fit to deal with such matters.

‘It’s best to go back and cultivate.

My presence on the frontline doesn’t really make a difference.’

This fact brought a touch of dejection to him, who had always had things go his way.

Li Ping’an stayed at the frontlines for almost half a month, secretly met with the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and, with his permission, brought back the Xinghan brothers to the East Continent.

Feng Tingzhu was assigned by Li Ping’an to Qing Su’s side; if the Master had any recklessness or overzealous moments, Feng Tingzhu could help intervene.

Feng Zhansiang…

This trusted aide was offline for the time being, and Li Ping’an couldn’t be bothered to attend to her.

After much deliberation, Li Ping’an chose Dong’an City as his next place for seclusion.

The Eastern Alliance’s Barracks were arguably safer, but him being a second-rank Inspector-cum-Centurion who wasn’t on the frontlines might attract some unwanted criticisms.

— Didn’t he care about his reputation?

Being said to flee in the face of battle would be quite disgraceful!

The journey was without incident.

After sneaking back to Dong’an City, Li Ping’an had He Xinghe rush to the Eastern Alliance to bring over Wen Ling and the White Tiger.

Gu Qingcheng, Chen Ting’er, and Yu Yingshu were left as reserve immortal soldiers, continuing their training in the barracks at the Outpost of Heaven.

Bringing over Wen Ling and the White Tiger was not because Li Ping’an longed for the comforts of being served by the adorable ‘little’ Maid.

He simply felt that as the master, he should spend more time bonding with the growing White Tiger mount.

But as for feeding it every day, he lacked the patience.

Wen Ling, as the feeder for the White Tiger, naturally had the irrefutable duty to care for and feed it closely.

Li Ping’an also planned to secretly visit the Feng family to check if his junior sister was diligently cultivating.

The first task of his seclusion was to remodel the residence in Dong’an City.

Li Ping’an excavated numerous secret chambers underground, then enlisted Xinghan and Xing He to refine the residence into an expandable Immortal Mansion.

A Heavenly Immortal trusted aide is indeed very useful.

There were occasional disturbances from magical beasts near Dong’an City, and Xinghan and Xing He would take turns going out to slay demons and relieve the local garrison’s pressure.

The combat resources of the two Heavenly Immortals would not be wasted.
