Chapter 836: Secrets of Spirits and Gods
One day, when Li Changge already possessed the power of an Immortal, Zhang Yuelu might still be struggling in the Zaohua stage.
Perhaps many years down the line, Zhang Yuelu, a natural-born Banished Immortal, would surpass Li Changge, a manmade one, but that all depended on her surviving until then.
If they were to truly fall out and no longer maintain a fragile peace, Li Changge absolutely had the power to crush her.
This secret was not hard to deduce.
The Zhang family, led by the Heavenly Preceptor, surely knew the truth. After all, Donghuang’s marriage to the ruler of Qingqiu Mountain was no secret, and the Qinghuo Pearl had once been in their possession. Putting two and two together, it was not hard to guess the Li family’s intentions.
It was just that the Zhang elders had not told the younger generation too early for fear of damaging morale.
After all, they themselves were still grinding away at the Heavenly Being stage, while some guy next door from the Li family had already become an Immortal. How was that fair? It was the kind of blow that could shatter one’s motivation instantly.
Li Changge understood this, which was why he chose not to hide it and instead displayed the demeanor of a gentleman.
He treated it as a reciprocal courtesy. Qi Xuansu had revealed his trump card, which was the ability to summon the Three Yin Beings, so he would return the gesture with a secret of his own. Thus, there would be no debts between them.
Now that Qi Xuansu knew the secret, there was little he could do about it. All he could do was sigh inwardly. How could two manmade Banished Immortals differ so greatly?
That said, the Imperial Preceptor probably did not have fox demon blood.
The Imperial Preceptor and Li Changge were not grandfather and grandson, but cousins with a large age gap. Thus, it was impossible for them to have the same parents.
