I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Chapter 94 Family Matters, Target Selection

Another thorough investigation followed.

Li Qingshan was certain that this was not tomb raiding, but rather that the old man had climbed out of there himself.

The old man is suspected of faking his death.

Li Qingshan kept quiet.

He might have wondered why the old man faked his death.

After Shen Linyuan repeatedly mentioned the city that had fallen, and after personally witnessing some of the outlines of that evil god, he realized that the city had fallen.

Now, Li Qingshan suspects that the old man is connected to the evil god that descended upon the city.

"The prefectural city has a large population. Although the number of people who escaped was small, it still adds up to a considerable number. Add to that the refugees who were impacted and affected, and the number becomes even greater..."

Li Qingshan pondered, then felt something was off.

I hadn't thought about it before.

Now that I think about it, Qingyuan County was clearly a thousand miles away from that Juque Prefecture.

For a martial artist, it is certainly not far.

However, the Guixu airship did not develop. If it relied entirely on walking, why would the refugees have traveled so far to settle down?

"It seems we need to investigate the refugee situation from back then to find out what exactly happened..."

Li Qingshan put the matter aside for the time being.

He's not particularly good at intelligence gathering.

Why not wait until Jiu San recovers and then hand him over to this cheap senior brother?

Return to Lijiabao.

Li Qingshan did not return.

He looked at Li Tie: "Brother Tie, you said before that my third sister had a falling out with the family, what happened?"

Li Tie smiled wryly: "Your sister is already pretty. She was well-behaved before you spoke up, but after our Li family rose to prominence, more and more people in the county started praising your parents and siblings. Gradually, your third sister started having more ideas..."

Li Qingshan's second brother was rather honest. Seeing that even the most beautiful women were willing to be his wives, and considering his connections with Li Tie's father-in-law, he agreed on the spot.

His parents are old and don't like to go out much.

The other younger siblings were also quite young, so they stayed around Lijiabao.

Only his third sister caused trouble.

It's basically a pretty melodramatic story.

Too much praise can make people arrogant.

In addition, Li Qingshan's third sister was indeed beautiful, and Li Qingshan's status was constantly rising, which caused the direct descendants of the elders to actively praise and flatter Li Qingshan's third sister.

This, on the contrary, made Li Qingshan's third sister dazzled by the choices, and she even began to feel disgusted with those young talents who were not bad in appearance or family background.

Li Qingshan's parents are honest people.

He got angry when he saw that his daughter was still undecided about accepting gifts and scolded her.

As a result, Li Qingshan's third sister rebelled and moved to the county town. She then started dating a poor young man, supporting his studies and martial arts training, and occasionally taking money from home.

After Li Qingshan's parents found out, they felt that the man was not a good match and they started arguing.

The relationship is very strained now.

After understanding the situation, Li Qingshan's expression turned strange.

He looked at Li Tie: "Brother Tie, are you saying that she quarreled with my parents and then continued to take money from home to support the person she had her eye on?"

Li Tie nodded somewhat awkwardly: "After all, she's your sister, so I can't really say anything. But I did investigate that kid; he's... someone with some ideas."

Li Qingshan understood.

Having ideas means knowing how to use tricks.

That's the kind of person he is.

If it weren't for the need to take care of his parents, he would have really wanted Li Tie to simply change his third sister's name and let her fend for herself, making her pay for her own choices.

even so.

Li Qingshan didn't have much patience to deal with this kind of mess.

He sighed, "Brother Tie, you're the head of the Li family now, and you're a reasonable person. Don't try to accommodate my feelings in the future. Be ruthless when necessary, and also..."

Li Tie didn't expect Li Qingshan to say that.

He nodded somewhat blankly: "Go on."

Li Qingshan chuckled: "From now on, when Li family women marry out, their dowries should not be skimped on, but their names should be removed from the family genealogy. Even if their husbands' families encounter difficulties in the future, they can still be taken care of, but their children must never be renamed and reinstated into the Li family genealogy!"

A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog.

How can a woman empty her own home to support her husband's family after getting married!

Seeing Li Tie lower his head in thought.

Li Qingshan sighed and said, "Brother Tie, many times, women have a choice. Even if the family falls into ruin, they can still escape. But men don't have a choice. I'm not saying that women don't care about the family, but their perspective is determined by their position. When they have a choice, situations like my third sister's are not uncommon. Some things have to be decided from the beginning."

He would rather the Li family fall into ruin and have its assets squandered by its own descendants than let an outsider benefit from it.

Upon hearing this, Li Tie nodded.

a few days later.

New clan rules announced.

Li Qingshan's third sister was stripped of her clan name at the monthly clan meeting. After receiving a dowry, she was cut off from the clan's supplies and had to fend for herself.

After this matter was reported.

The talented men who had previously surrounded Li Qingshan's third sister have all dispersed.

Beautiful women are everywhere.

If it weren't for Elder Li Qingshan's reputation, they would never have put up with that scoundrel's attitude.

However, the boy chosen by Li Qingshan's third sister not only did not leave, but became even gentler towards her.

The two verbally agreed on a wedding date.

It was only two days later.

The man then absconded with Li Qingshan's third sister's dowry and fled Qingyuan County.

Li Qingshan's third sister has lost her composure.

After a period of being in a daze.

Forced by the necessities of life.

She was too ashamed to return to the Li family, so she used the needlework skills she had learned to make a living on her own.

The contrast and some mild sarcasm helped this seventeen-year-old girl, who hadn't suffered much hardship, mature quickly, realize how naive she had been, and become more grounded again.

Li Tie, who orchestrated all of this, arranged for people to take good care of the other party and to send messages to Li Qingshan's parents regularly before leaving.

There's a ton of stuff to do.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was Li Qingshan's sister, and that he also had to consider the feelings of his sixth uncle and aunt, he would have been different.

He doesn't have that much time to spare for a woman.

the other side.

Upon returning to the Bitter Realm, Li Qingshan received a message from Li Tie and nodded.

It's certainly good if a prodigal son can turn over a new leaf.

She is, after all, my own sister.

Whether for the sake of your parents' feelings or for the sake of some happy memories from your childhood, if the other person knows they are wrong and can correct their mistakes, you should still give them some consideration.

He was also somewhat glad that he had helped Li Tie rise to prominence.

Otherwise, let him handle these matters.

That man's death was not as simple as just dying.

Even his sister wouldn't be so comfortable; all she has to do is repent and start anew.

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

Family ties are involved, so many methods can't be used; it's indeed troublesome.

Fortunately, Li Tie was there to bear all of this.

I pulled myself back to reality.

Li Qingshan refocused his attention on the intelligence he had on hand.

The situation with Jiu San is more complicated.

The opponent's shadow body is more refined than Master Shen Linyuan's shadow body, which is infused with a bit of dream demon power.

Darkness attracts darkness.

This is also the main reason why Jiu San was unknowingly contaminated during his exploration.

He is less resistant to the corrosive effects of dark energy.

In this situation, to remove the influence of the Abyss's will, it is necessary to utilize the special environment of the Ruins of Return and perform surgery-like procedures to gradually remove and cut away the Abyss's aura.

This process will take at least six months.

This also resulted in all the tasks that Shen Linyuan and Jiu San were previously responsible for falling on Li Qingshan's shoulders.

Li Qingshan is a hands-off manager.

After taking over the affairs of Jiu San, he immediately accessed the intelligence network that the other party had previously controlled and collected information on the disciples and elders with martial spirit among the three factions.

"Even a prostitute wants to maintain a virtuous image. As a dignified elder, I can't be too ungrateful. It's better to fight violence with violence and evil with evil, which is less burdensome..."

Li Qingshan carefully reviewed the general outlines of these people's lives.

As the aggressors launching a counterattack.

These people from Guixu were hardly considered kind or benevolent in this barbaric little world.

Li Qingshan completely ignored Xia Lei, who was known for his ruthlessness and cruelty.

In the wars between civilized times, killing people is nothing.

He focused on some inhumane Xia people who took pleasure in cruelty and murder.

The Fei people, even if they are thrown back to the ruins, will still cause harm.

It would be better to let him refine it.

"Indestructible Vajra, ingestion, carrying mountains, splitting rocks, earth-burrowing... I can simply use Fei Yundao Martial Bone to gather seven Martial Bones, complete a special ritual, and transform them into Immortal Bones..."

Filter through the information one by one.

From over a hundred people, only four messages remained.

Li Qingshan had heard the story of the person sitting there.

Fei Ren was the only senior from Gaoshitou Village who awakened martial arts and joined the Iron Leg Sect a long time ago.

I've been in this business for many years.

The opponent has already reached the Qi Sea Realm by relying on his martial bones.

"Fei Yao is destined, and it's through consuming supernatural powers. Alright, you're the one..."

Li Qingshan has chosen the first item to be exempt from bidding.

Now, the martial arts bones are of little help to him, except for self-healing, which is still somewhat useful.

I wonder what difference Xia Hou will have after awakening his immortal bones.

Zuo Yu only had a few months of experience.

He was quite looking forward to it.
