Chapter 659: Father-in-Law, I Have No Sword
Li Guanqi stepped out of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with violet eyes, satisfied with the change. “Tsk, not spending money feels good. But… how does that chubby fool already hold so much authority in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion? Has he taken over from his father?”
Li Guanqi still recalled the manager’s terrified look when he learned his true identity. At first, the disguise had been too dazzling. Now, his eyes seemed natural, all traces hidden. Deep and unreadable, they hinted at countless secrets.
Just standing at the entrance drew giggles from nearby women. A few bold ones even tried to approach him. Startled, Li Guanqi vanished in a flash of lightning.
Leaving Yanchang Plain, he soared through the skies in a playful mood. He tossed out a low-grade sword, so crude even Golden Core cultivators would scorn it. Still, he happily stepped onto it, suppressing his aura to the late Golden Core Realm.
He pulled out a jade slip and asked respectfully, “Father-in-law, how is Wanshu?”
Soon, Meng Jiangchu’s voice came through.
—You brat, looks like you still remember us? Do you even still have Wanshu in your heart? Do you still see me as your father-in-law? A whole year! A whole year and not a word from you!”
Li Guanqi pulled the jade slip away from his ear. Meng Jiangchu’s voice was too loud. “Ah, I had some things to work through… I disappeared for a year to clear my head.”
Meng Jiangchu did not press further. He had witnessed the events in the Liu clan’s domain.
