Liu Li's face turned awkward and slightly indignant upon hearing those words. With difficulty, she said, "You, you are despicable..."

"..."

Qin Feng let out a light sigh and said, "Sigh, I knew you'd react like this, which is why I asked first. If you don't consent, I won't insist. Your injuries can heal without treatment. Just take some Healing Medicine and lie down for three to five years, and you should be mostly recovered. I'll take my leave now."

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Liu Li gritted her teeth and reluctantly called Qin Feng back.

She knew that Qin Feng was a disciple of Beidou Old Divine Doctor, and his medical skills were extraordinary. If he said it would take three to five years, then it certainly would.

But these are chaotic times.

Although she needed to stand up and act, how could she lie down for three to five years?

"Close your eyes."

Qin Feng instructed.

It didn't take long.

Qin Feng began treating her.

After a full half hour.

Qin Feng pulled out the last acupuncture needle and said, "Alright, you can put your clothes back on now. Once you take this Elixir, you'll recover almost immediately."

Having said that.

He got up and left.

Liu Li saw the small medicine bottle labeled with Taiji Yuan Sheng Pill and couldn't help muttering, "He's quite generous..."

After refining the Elixir.

Combined with Qin Feng's prior acupuncture treatment, Liu Li felt almost completely recovered.

She immediately got up, picked up her Dagger, and walked outside.

Realizing this was behind Five Rings Mountain, she planned to head towards the mountain summit.

Qin Feng stopped her, saying, "Liu Li, where are you going to the summit for?"

"Don't call me 'sister'!"

Liu Li's eyebrows arched as she said, "I don't want to have anything to do with you. I warn you, don't even think about coveting the Holy Daughter. You're not worthy of her! Do you know how much she has sacrificed for you?"

"Uh..."

"You didn't notice before? The anomaly at Five Rings Mountain earlier, it signified that the Black Monk was about to be resurrected. Originally, the Holy Daughter was to permanently seal Five Rings Mountain, but she intentionally left it for you, leading up to the impending resurrection of the Black Monk. It must be stopped; otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"For me?"

Qin Feng was puzzled.

He had heard from Wang Zanggu that the Holy Daughter was guarding Five Rings Mountain to help him, but he had always been unable to figure out what she was helping him with.

Now Liu Li was saying the same.

"There's no time to explain now. The anomaly has disappeared, which means the Black Monk must have been resurrected. We must act fast to stop it!"

Liu Li urged.

"There's no need to panic. The Black Monk has already been dealt with,"

Qin Feng said.

"Dealt with? Impossible. There's no one who can stop the power of the Black Monk. I know the secret within your body, but even so, do you think you can currently contend with him? I know you often pretend in front of the Holy Daughter, but it won't work with me!"

Liu Li continued.

Qin Feng, feeling embarrassed, could only ask Wang Zanggu to bring her to see the Black Monk's body.

"How could this be?!"

Liu Li was incredulous staring at the corpse.

She couldn't believe that the Black Monk, who had worried people for a century, was actually dead!

And it was Qin Feng who killed him?

"Now, can you tell me why Xing'er did what she did?"

Qin Feng asked again at this point.

From what she said, it seemed the Holy Daughter purposely left the Black Monk for him, instead of following the Master's order to permanently seal Five Rings Mountain.

She ought to be very clear about the strength of the Black Monk.

If it weren't for his Outer Heaven Stone Demon Suppressing Mallet.

He might have indeed brought chaos.

Why would the always kind Holy Daughter do such a thing?

"Buddha Beads."

Liu Li spoke at this time, "Rumors say that the Black Monk had a string of Buddha Beads related to the secret of your bloodline."

While speaking,

She began to search for the Buddha Beads.

But,

She found nothing.

"How strange, are the rumors false? Where are the Buddha Beads?" She muttered, then turned to ask Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shook his head and wagged his hand, saying, "I don't know either."

No choice.

Since it was something related to his bloodline, it was better for him to keep and study it himself. The people from Xinghua Gully always had grievances against him, he couldn't let them know it was in his possession.

After searching for a good while, Liu Li couldn't find the Buddha Beads and could only give up.

Once it was confirmed that the Black Monk was indeed murdered, Liu Li also prepared to return to Xinghua Gully.

Being the Senior Sister of the Holy Daughter, Qin Feng asked her to stay, "Won't you rest a bit longer?"

"No, I don't want to stay with a hooligan like you!"

Liu Li said.

"..."

Qin Feng was embarrassed and said, "About what happened back then, I really didn't do it on purpose. I was practicing holding my breath in the pool, and it was you lot who came to bathe..."

The people from Xinghua Gully always had grievances against him.

This was one of the reasons.

"Shut up!"

Liu Li's face turned red, worried others might hear, only when she saw Wang Zanggu and the others were far away did she let out a sigh of relief, saying, "You say you were holding your breath, then why did your nosebleed dye the entire pond red, and you also refused to close your eyes? And, practice breath-holding as you will, but why were you naked! You're not just a hooligan, you're a pervert!"

"Uh... I always go into the water without clothes, and didn't you also take off yours when you entered?"

"Nonsense, we were bathing!"

"Regardless, I also lost a lot of blood that day, and you all benefited from it, inadvertently helping you improve your cultivation."

"You..."

Liu Li was so angry she couldn't out-argue him, and it took her a while to calm down before saying, "I need to go back now, there's a lot happening in Xinghua Gully. We've formed an alliance with Li Family Vineyard to deal with the alliance between White Jade Manor and Moonless Sword Sect."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Qin Feng was surprised.

Xinghua Gully, Li Family Vineyard, White Jade Manor, Moonless Sword Sect, the four strongest factions in Northwest Tian Mountain, were apparently also embroiled in war.

"I don't know who did it, but someone killed Yu Taijin, the Young Master of White Jade Manor. They think it was Xinghua Gully's doing, so they've teamed up with Moonless Sword Sect to deal with us," Liu Li said with furrowed brows.

"..."

Qin Feng felt guilty.

He didn't expect that by killing Yu Taijin at the entrance to Ghost Immortal Cave in North Country Forest Mountain, it directly led to White Jade Manor going after Xinghua Gully, something he had never anticipated.

However.

The real reason probably was not just that.

Listening to Hong Lian of Moon-cutting Sect, as well as the Sixth Grade Grandmaster from Xingluo Peak, it seemed not only Qinling, but all five major spiritual energy holy lands of Hua Country were competing for the position of local leader.

"Don't worry, once I've settled my affairs, I'll come back to Xinghua Gully to help you," said Qin Feng.

"You?"

Liu Li gave him a disdainful look, "Forget about it! If you had any courage, you wouldn't have hidden like a turtle three years ago, disguising yourself and barely surviving in the Mortal World, causing our Holy Daughter to weep every day! You better never show your face in Xinghua Gully again."

"..."

Qin Feng felt a bitter taste in his heart.

His departure three years ago, wasn't it also to protect the Holy Daughter?

"Alright, I'm leaving now," Liu Li said.

As she walked to the edge of the mountain, she hesitated, then turned back to Qin Feng and said, "If you truly come out from hiding, I have but one wish."

"What wish?"

"Marry the Holy Daughter."

Liu Li's previous expression of loathing towards Qin Feng changed, and with earnest eyes she said, "Marry her, otherwise, the mountains will collapse, otherwise, the earth will crack open!"
