Huang Rong slammed her hand on the table and stood up, ready to fight. "Trying to steal someone from the young master of Peach Blossom Island? You've got some nerve!"

"Does Elder Renji have any objections?" Miss Li looked at Huang Rong.

Huang Rong was taken aback, then immediately sat back down: "No, no, I just had a momentary lapse in concentration and went a little crazy. I'm fine now."

I am the Elder of Humanity, belonging to the Three Talents Elders, while Brother Jing is the Black Tortoise, merely a Four Symbols Protector. In other words, I have become his superior.

Hehe, this is fun!

Yang Tiexin looked at everyone and suddenly realized that he was the only outsider, and Miss Li seemed to have no intention of inviting him at all.

Am I not worthy of joining the Ancient Tomb Sect?

He stood up and gripped the iron spear in his hand.

This is undoubtedly a tremendous insult to the Yang family generals! They dare disdain the renowned Yang family spear technique! Ancestors, grant me strength, let me—

"Golden Warrior, here's an address. Go to this place and search it thoroughly. Bring back anything strange you find."

It is my duty to strengthen the ancient tomb's power. Looking across the martial world, Yang Tiexin is not bad. With a little training, he can be of great use.

Old Yang sat back down and said, "I'm sorry, ancestors. It's alright now. You can go back to sleep."

Chapter 72 To shoulder the responsibility of becoming an Immortal Venerable is to shoulder the responsibility of all living beings.

Now that she has both money and connections, "Li Mochou" won't continue to do everything herself.

At her command, her underlings took care of everything for her, bringing her everything she needed.

For example, the bullets hidden in Liu Zhifei's house, the precious medicinal snake that Liang Ziweng had cultivated for decades, and Bao Xiruo, the beautiful and troublesome queen of the Jin Dynasty's Zhao King Wanyan Honglie.

Bao Xiruo had been well taken care of in Wanyan Honglie's mansion over the years and had not suffered any hardship. She was still beautiful and charming, and her appearance had not changed much from eighteen years ago. Yang Tiexin recognized her at a glance.

The two embraced and wept, pouring out their longing for each other over the years and vowing never to be separated again.

Mu Nianci, moved to tears, walked over to Miss Li, bowed her head, and whispered her thanks.

"Miss Li, thank you for reuniting my parents. You are a good person. I shouldn't have cursed you in my heart before."

Honest kid, you don't need to say these things out loud. She won't know the curses you're thinking, but if you say them out loud, she'll find out, and it won't be good for either of you.

Miss Li was not very satisfied: "You should address me as Immortal Venerable, Vermilion Bird Protector."

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, Twenty-Eight Constellations, Five Elements Warriors, Four Symbols Protectors, Three Talents Elders, Yin-Yang Dharma Kings, Primordial Heavenly Kings, and so on, are all just peripheral forces of the Ancient Tomb Sect, serving Miss Li.

She called herself a little fairy from the ancient tomb, which was just her being modest, leaving Lin Yunshuang the esteemed position of an old fairy, so that the old Lin wouldn't keep whining and nagging her about being unfilial at his age.

But as your subordinate, Little Sister Zhuque, you must naturally know how to respect your superior and should be addressed as Immortal Venerable.

However, considering that you've just started working here and aren't used to workplace rules yet, I'll let you off this time and won't make things difficult for you.

If it happens again, we will punish them severely!

"Hmph, disrespectful to elders!" Miss Li snorted.

Mu Nianci chuckled, not taking it to heart.

Miss Li turned and glanced at the couple embracing, wanting to kiss but too shy to do so. After a moment's hesitation, she said:

"In this situation, Lao Yang probably has a lot of sentimental things to say and do. You two are too embarrassed to leave, so let the couple have a good heart-to-heart talk."

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, and Old Ma each had their own interesting expressions, and obediently went out.

However, when I looked back, Ms. Li was still sitting upright in her chair, showing no intention of getting up and leaving.

In response to everyone's questions, Ms. Li explained:

"They haven't seen each other for over a decade, and their skills may have become rusty. As a Celestial Venerable, I know everything, so I must stay and give them some pointers to prevent them from getting hurt."

Huang Rong and Mu Nianci exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and grabbed Li, who was planning to observe the scene, from both sides, forcibly leading her out the door. Guo Jing walked at the back and closed the door.

"What are you doing! I am a Celestial Venerable. You can't look, but I can't? Put me back and let me instruct them!" Miss Li was clearly very displeased.

Huang Rong, who had already washed up and changed into women's clothing, said with a smile: "Immortal Venerable, don't brag. With your pure and innocent appearance, you don't seem like someone who can guide those who have been through it all."

"I think you probably don't even know as much as Sister Mu. At least she's been holding a martial arts contest to find a husband for so long, she must have learned everything she needed to. As for you, you're probably a complete novice!"

Mu Nianci blushed immediately, but did not deny it. They were all people of the martial arts world; if they had seen it, they had seen it, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Miss Li sneered.

I come from the information age. I can find all kinds of resources online with a simple search. I've watched more movies in my life than you've eaten rice. What makes you think you can compare to me?

However, it's best to keep this to yourself and not show it off. If it arouses Xiao Rong'er's curiosity and she insists on seeing it together, it's really impossible to produce it, and you can't exactly take a picture on the spot.

"You have no idea how much effort I've put into maintaining the purity of this world," she said proudly.

Miss Li realized the immense impact her vast knowledge could have on this era; once it spread, it would surely upheaval and the world would never be the same again.

She kept this earth-shattering power sealed in her mind, never letting it leak out in the slightest, enduring its torment alone in the dead of night. This was undoubtedly a great merit, enough to make her a saint on the spot.

"I'm still too kind."

Seeing that Miss Li suddenly became compassionate, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci, who were supporting her, looked at each other speechlessly.

Huang Rong snorted lightly: "Can't you get down and walk a few steps by yourself? Although you are quite light, you are still a burden. Could you please show us your kindness, Immortal Venerable, and let us get down and walk a few steps?"

You talk too much!

Miss Li glared at Huang Rong, her legs stubbornly curled up, refusing to touch the ground, clinging tightly to Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.

"Have you ever seen an immortal walk on the ground? If a high and mighty immortal touches the ground, it is called falling into the mortal realm, or becoming a demon, and it will cause bloodshed among all living beings."

“You are now shouldering not just the burden of one person, but the safety of all people in the world. Even if it is as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on you, making it hard for you to breathe, you must firmly shoulder it.”

"Once you let go, the sky will collapse and the earth will crack, all living beings will perish, the six realms of reincarnation will be blocked, and everything in the world will be over."

Guo Jing was immediately shocked: "Is it that serious? Quick, I'm strong and healthy, let me carry it!"

If you dare to say it, he dares to believe it.

The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. Even though Guo Jing had not yet become the great hero Guo, he was already able to think about problems from the perspective of a great hero and often worried about the country and its people in the dead of night.

The responsibilities of all living beings are heavy; even the most upright and indomitable men can be crushed and shattered. But Guo Jing went without hesitation, simply because he had known since childhood that this was what he was born to do.

Put down that immortal lord, let me handle this!

The Immortal Venerable slapped Guo Daxia's hand away, rejecting his request to abandon the world, and then embraced the two fragrant and soft girls tightly:

"Without a doubt, I saw your will to carry the weight of all living beings on your shoulders and to forge ahead even at the cost of your life. This is certainly commendable and shows your great chivalry."

"However, for me, a young, unmarried woman in the prime of my life, to appear on top of a big, burly man like you, pressed so tightly together... please forgive me for refusing."

“I would rather exterminate all living beings than let such a thing happen. You must understand me.”

Huang Rong rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. They really think she's a fool!

Guo Jing was stunned. "Immortal Venerable, why do the common people suffer like this? If you don't want to destroy me, that's fine. What does it have to do with the common people?"

Is our organization really okay, willing to exterminate all living beings at the slightest disagreement?

However, he then thought again, "If they would rather destroy all living beings than destroy me, could it be that my importance is greater than that of all living beings?"

Thinking about it this way, even the great hero Guo couldn't help but feel happy, feeling the joy of being valued, and a simple and honest smile appeared on his face.

The Immortal Venerable has approved of me!

Miss Li, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci: "?"

Oh no, could he really be an idiot?

Ma Xiaotian walked at the front, listening to the boys and girls behind him playing and laughing, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Don't worry, you really need to make more friends. The world is a deep and complicated place, and it's too miserable to walk alone. If you can have a few close friends to chase, play, and laugh with, it's a real blessing and will greatly benefit your life.

As a seasoned veteran, he had actually noticed long ago that Mochou's attitude towards these three young people was unusual and different from her attitude towards others.

The Li Mochou he knew was very outgoing and could chat with anyone, take a joke, and become friends with anyone.

But he knew very well that it wasn't a sign of being easy to open up to; rather, it was a sign of an extremely strong psychological defense.

Being close to everyone is the same as being distant from everyone; it's like a soul adrift outside the world, without a home, looking down on the world and playing in the mortal realm.

He keenly realized that neither he, Wu Santong, nor even Lin Yunshuang had truly entered Li Mochou's heart.

She was like a lone wild goose, flying alone. If she continued like this, one day she would lose her way and, without knowing when, fall to the ground exhausted and be smashed to pieces.

Now, it seems the geese have found companions and are about to set off together.

Ma Xiaotian felt no jealousy, but rather a sense of satisfaction.

After spending so much time together, he had long regarded Li Mochou as his granddaughter.

He had no other wish than to see his granddaughter's life get back on track before he died.

...No, perhaps there are still some things I really need to ask for.

Ma Xiaotian turned his gaze to the horizon, towards the direction of Zhongnan Mountain.

Xiaoshuang, you said you'd give me an answer to the question I asked you back then, but decades have passed and I still haven't received one.

In my lifetime, I hope to get an answer. Can you grant me that?

Chapter 73 Master, I can't tell the difference, I can't tell the difference at all!

Outside the courtyard, on a palanquin, "Li Mochou" sat cross-legged on a soft couch, stroking something that Yang Tiexin had brought back from Liu Zhifei's house.

Yang Tiexin didn't recognize the thing, but Li Mochou recognized it at a glance. It was a high-tech wristwatch with a futuristic design and a very thin profile.

She tried to turn on the watch, and although the screen lit up, no words or images appeared.

"Could it be a reincarnation watch?" she boldly guessed.

After trying it out, she still couldn't figure out how to use the watch, so she decided to try using her all-powerful inner energy.

It makes sense that extraordinary items require extraordinary power to activate.

A wisp of true energy separated from the dantian, circulated along the meridians to the hand, and then burst into the wristwatch.

The next moment, the watch started smoking, then burst into flames with a bang, and the battery exploded.

"What is that!" Huang Rong and the others, who were observing from the side, were startled and immediately jumped away.

It's a lithium-ion battery!
