People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 686 Li Qi: When has your godfather ever lied to you?

As for those who believe this is the truth, they also have their own opinions: among the families of saints, there are peak half-saints. Besides saints, only Dao Venerables can easily kill such people.

Such a family of saints would have been wiped out long ago if they dared to offend a saint. Only the Daoist Venerable has a mysterious origin, and the other party probably doesn't even know how they offended him, and then he is gone.

After all, someone with a mysterious background and young age could be anyone. It's hard to guarantee that an ordinary person you might casually bully could be a close friend or relative of the Daoist Master.

Besides that, some people in the class would start making inappropriate jokes while chatting, saying they wanted to be my lackeys...

……

Li Qi heard all this and couldn't help but think that the Great Trial of Mountains and Rivers would be held in a few months. Once his true self and disguise were combined and he was no longer hiding, things would get interesting.

A few more minutes passed, and Li Qi opened his eyes, then saw Cheng Weiwei with her hands on her desk.

"Li Qi, you're finally back."

"If you don't come back soon, I'll start to wonder if you've gotten lost in the mountains."

"Qishan is a big mountain, and there are a lot of legends about monsters in Qishan online, such as tigers, black bears, and fox spirits."

Cheng Weiwei smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

Her slightly trembling voice revealed her excitement.

That's just how people are. Many times, what they do or talk about isn't important. What matters is who they're in front of. Even with the same things and the same topics, the emotions of the people involved can be completely different.

"We must believe in science. In a materialistic world, there are no demons."

"It has always been humans who have turned into demons and monsters, but no animals have ever become spirits."

Li Qi smiled, but his heart was very calm, completely different from Cheng Weiwei's mood.

There was a time when things were the opposite: one person would be overjoyed while the other remained calm and indifferent.

Now times have changed, and everything has turned upside down.

Li Qi felt only a faint sense of nostalgia for this realization, and nothing more.

He once didn't want romantic love, focusing solely on the pursuit of the Tao. Now, he doesn't want it anymore, simply because romantic love seems too bland compared to the richness of his spiritual world.

The convergence and transformation of those four civilizations, their endless evolution, was truly magnificent and boundless.

Human love is not without flavor, but it's just a drop of water; how can it compare to the ocean?
Unless there is someone who can span his three lifetimes, from beginning to end, and be intimately connected with his life, it is impossible.

Unfortunately, before he achieved extraordinary success, no one like him appeared to share his brilliance and inspire his soul.

The timing of some things is crucial. If they appear early enough, they will grow with life; if they appear late, it will be impossible to reach their core.

At this moment, looking at Li Qi's smile, Cheng Weiwei felt more and more that although she and he were very close, they were actually much farther apart.

In her eyes, the sword pressing down on the Seven Immortals was already a feat of being high above the clouds.

Fate can be both wondrous and cruel at times.

Just then, another person appeared at the classroom door. Upon seeing Li Qi, he ran over and exclaimed, "Qi, I didn't expect you to come to class as soon as you got back. Is this the world of the strong?"

"It's a bit outrageous. You've been in the mountains for so long, and you haven't turned into a wild man, which is one thing, but you don't have any wildness at all. Are you sure you didn't go to some legendary school for further studies, but were actually in seclusion in the mountains?!"

Sun Guang looked Li Qi up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"However, you really know how to choose your time to go into seclusion. You missed so many exciting plot developments, each one more dramatic than the last!"

Sun Guang brought up the old topic again, one they had already discussed online. But that's how it is when friends chat; they like to repeat themselves. If a conversation never repeats itself, it only proves one thing: the two people aren't really that close.

"However, Dao Zun likes to stir up trouble, and he especially loves to livestream the annihilation of entire families. It feels like it won't be long before something big happens again, and there will be a bloodbath. It'll definitely be interesting to see what happens next."

Sun Guang waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

“Ah Guang, do you think it’s possible that I was actually present at all those major events, and that Dao Zun is actually me?”

"Now that I have appeared, the Daoist Master will not appear."

"Look at me, when I said I was going to fight the Seven Immortals, I actually did it."

"When has your godfather ever lied to you?!"

Li Qi said seriously.

Sun Guang was taken aback by Li Qi's serious expression, and seemed to waver for a moment before speaking.

"You once claimed to have the potential to become a demon god. With that potential, you could become a saint in half a year..."

“Aqi, it’s not that your godfather doesn’t believe you, but some things have to be done logically.”

"Also, you said you were going to fight the Three Saints."

As Sun Guang spoke, he secretly thought to himself, "Is Aqi under a lot of stress? I almost believed him for a fraction of a second, but luckily I'm smart enough."

Soon, it was time for class. The teacher walked into the classroom and was taken aback when he saw Li Qi suddenly appear in the chat, but he continued the lesson as usual.

When the first class ended, another person appeared at the classroom door. It was Shen Yue. With her appearance, the whole class fell silent.

By this time, news of his return had already spread throughout the school's group chat.

If someone who achieves the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations returns and everyone else shows no reaction, then they are considered an NPC (non-player character).

Shen Yue stood at the door, looked at Li Qi, her gaze flickered for a moment, and then walked into the classroom.

Officially, she came to report on the affairs of the Hentai Club and the Student Council, but everyone knew what her real purpose was.

Even now, opinions on what happened at the Heiki-sha are polarized.

Some believe that Li Qizhen is a man with no woman in his heart, which is why his swordsmanship is so divine.

Some say that Li Qi's cultivation level was insufficient, and that he was escaping...

In fact, at that point in time, Li Qi really couldn't be free from attachment. If he were to agree, he would inevitably have some reservations. It's easy to talk about the principle, but difficult to prove it.

Now, he could easily do it, but it would be meaningless.

All partners are confidants, but Shen Yue could never keep up with his pace. Even if they were together, she would only be an ornament, a vase.

However, no one else knew these things, which is why many people looked at Li Qi and Shen Yue with complicated emotions.

It's so painful to be unable to have the person you love, and also unable to have the person you love in return.

In the corner, Song Ziyan was also experiencing emotional turmoil.

Indeed, time can heal all wounds, but the problem now is that not enough time has passed. If she could say she can let go of things so easily, then she would be a superhero.
