Chapter 492: Deer Demon's Invitation (I)
When news of Li Jingtian's death reached their ears, the Li Family entered a period of mourning. Although she was merely a mortal, she was still the daughter of Li Xiangping, the sister of Li Xuanfeng, and one of the family's oldest members.
Chen Donghe hurried back, carrying his wife's frail body in his arms. He seemed normal, and Li Yuanjiao received him at the border solemnly. Together, they walked back to the residence in silence.
Chen Donghe was seventy years old. Since he had only begun his Qi Cultivation at thirty, he retained his appearance in his early fifties. Nevertheless, he was still an elder in the family and stood tall at the funeral.
Li Qinghong had just learned of her mother Lu Wanrong's death, and now the body of her aunt Li Jingtian was being returned to the Li Family.

After a busy period of six months, everything was finally settled. Since Li Qinghong was affected by grief right after her breakthrough, she needed another period of seclusion to stabilize her cultivation, leaving Li Yuanjiao to look after the family.

Li Yuanjiao guided Chen Donghe into Mount Qingdu. Observing his uncle's steady demeanor and good health, he felt relieved and began politely, "We've caused you a great deal of trouble all these years, Uncle… Now that the younger generation has grown, you don't need to stay in that desolate place. You can leave the qi gathering task to them and focus on your cultivation."
"It's no trouble," Chen Donghe replied, bowing politely. He sighed before continuing, "Who do you plan to send there?"
