Immortal Father
Chapter 702 - 702 246 A Dominant Visit but Uncle and Nephew Stab Each Other in the Back

702: Chapter 246: A Dominant Visit but Uncle and Nephew Stab Each Other in the Back 702: Chapter 246: A Dominant Visit but Uncle and Nephew Stab Each Other in the Back A white cloud carried Li Ping’an, Immortal Taiyi, and Preceptor Cang Jie toward the witch lands, slanting downward.

Li Dazhi stood with his hands behind his back outside the cloud boat’s cabin, his face showing discontent.

Why wouldn’t they let him be the envoy to negotiate?

He had volunteered, and when it came to eloquence and talent, plus considering his Great Fortune, wasn’t he the perfect ‘candidate for best envoy’?

They say send father and son into battle, send father and son into battle, but in the end, wasn’t it the father who was replaced, and the son was made to wear a mask pretending to be one of his own subordinates…

A clear and melodious voice came from beside him, “Qing Qing, what were they discussing just now?

They talked a lot, but it seems to have nothing to do with magical combat.”

Qing Su stood with his hands behind his back and hummed lightly, “I don’t quite understand these things either.”

Suddenly, Li Dazhi remembered something and took out a jade slip from his sleeve.

The so-called jade slip is a scroll made of narrow jade pieces;

This jade slip was no ordinary item.

Each piece of jade was polished to a warm smoothness; each inscribed with intricate prohibitions, each a record-keeping Jade Talisman.

Linked together, they formed a book.

Li Dazhi glanced at Qing Su a few times, then uneasily looked in the direction his son had left.

‘If this is already written, wouldn’t it be a waste not to send it out?’

Thus, Li Dazhi walked with his hands behind his back to where Guilingling and Qing Su stood and said cheerily:

“So, you didn’t understand their deliberations just now?”

Several esteemed individuals drinking tea inside the cabin cast a strand of Immortal Consciousness towards them.

Qing Su said, “I understood some of it.”

Guilingling laughed and said, “It’s not that I don’t understand, but I don’t know why they have to make such a simple thing so complicated.”

“Whether it’s complicated or not depends on when this matter is announced, and to whom it is addressed.”

Li Dazhi said with a smile:

“Every party has its own considerations.

“Predecessor Guang Chengzi bears the responsibility of managing the affairs of Chan Teaching and naturally cannot misuse the name of Chan Teaching.

“The Yellow Emperor is a wise Human Emperor who naturally considers issues from the perspective of the Human Race.

“Therefore, in handling the Witch Clan, Chan Teaching must declare its righteousness, protect the justice of Heaven and Earth, persuade the two feuding races to turn their weapons into gifts of peace, and this is the upright and noble spirit of Chan Teaching.

“Our side, the Human Race, has more troubles.

It’s because the Witch Clan supported Chiyou back then that our race was brought to the brink of extinction.

Thankfully, we won the battle of Zhuolu.

This is actually a matter of life and death, not something that can be put aside just like that.

“Hence, the Human Emperor also has many doubts.

The Human Emperor loves his citizens as though they were his children and treats every member of the Human Race equally, so he cannot decide on his own to forgive the Witch Clan.”

“It’s for these reasons that our esteemed fellows need to carefully weigh and sort out the matters beforehand.”

Guilingling blinked and said, “Shouldn’t it be, if you won’t agree, fight until you submit?”

“Justice and righteousness are the true principles of the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Dazhi spoke in a gentle voice:

“Jie Sect is actually quite dangerous.

“Well, I will not say more.

Alongside Ping’an, Senior Guiling, you may well observe how he deals with affairs.

“Ahem…

Immortal Qing Su.”

Qing Su, puzzled, said, “Yes?”

“This is something Ping’an entrusted me to give you.

The child is shy and insisted that I deliver it…

”

Li Dazhi handed the jade slip to Qing Su:

“Ping’an said he wanted you to have a look, it’s the script of a play.

Later, aren’t we hosting a grand cultural stage in the East Continent?

The main idea is to turn these kinds of stories into plays performed on stage.”

Qing Su tilted his head slightly, not understanding the reason but responding with due seriousness.

“Then I’ll have a look when I’m not busy…

‘The Condor Heroes’?”

Li Dazhi nodded with a smile.

“The Condor Heroes!”

And it was the version where the young Zhi Ping died from jumping off a cliff!

The original version, Li Dazhi certainly couldn’t remember, but he vividly recalled the scenes of the film and television version, which, polished by him and Xiaoyue, ended up being quite a good read.

“Immortal Qing Su,” Li Dazhi bowed and said, “I need to focus on the affairs of the Casting Cloud Sect now, striving to accumulate treasures for the Heavenly Court, and I can rarely stay by Ping’an’s side.

From now on, I’ll leave Ping’an in your care.”

Qing Su bowed in return, solemnly saying, “If I do not die, he shall remain unharmed.”

Guilingling, hands on hips, laughed, “And me too!”

“What are you doing getting involved?”

Li Dazhi couldn’t help but smile and bow, then headed into the cabin.

Xuanyuan Huangdi asked, “What kind of play script is that from Sect Leader Dazhi?

The Sparrow Fairy Brand initiated by Sect Leader Dazhi is now all the rage in the East Continent and has brought many smiles and laughter to our Xuanyuan Palace.

I have yet to thank Sect Leader Dazhi.”

“Oh my!

I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!”

Li Dazhi said hurriedly:

“To be able to relieve your worries, Your Majesty, is the honor of every member of the Human Race.

“Besides, it’s all just for entertainment, and it was just an idea Ping’an came up with to relieve my boredom.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi leaned back slightly, his eyes showing a touch of appreciation, “Does Sect Leader Dazhi have a companion?”

“Yes,” Li Dazhi laughed, “I have a companion.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi looked disappointed, “I wanted to be a matchmaker for you, to arrange for the only daughter from Dali’s family.

Dali is now the Alliance Hierarch of the East.

If she could become married with you and your son, it would also strengthen our Human Race’s influence on the future Heavenly Court.”

Tianli, the elder, managed a strained smile.

“You’re flattering me too much!”

Li Dazhi quickly said:

“Wen Rou is intelligent and clever, and I am a simple man, truly not a match for her.”

Minister Feng laughed, “Is it because Wen Rou is part of the Wind Whisper Guard?

Then I’ll just expel her from the Guard.”

Li Dazhi’s heart skipped a beat.

Were Xuanyuan Huangdi and Minister Feng already aware of his previous extensive interactions with Wen Rou?
