At the peak of Morning Cultivation Mountain, there were about twenty or thirty cultivators practicing their arts.
Cultivators have keen senses, and any slight disturbance would quickly catch their attention.
Upon hearing Wang Dafu's light cough, a few cultivators opened their eyes.
They looked at Wang Dafu, seemingly waiting for him to speak.
Wang Dafu cleared his throat, "I have a matter that requires the help of fellow Daoists."
Sun Ping, who was among them, asked, "What is it?"
"It's like this, my junior brother Li Qinghai has feelings for Lu Beixue, and I want to help match them up."
Upon hearing it was about Li Qinghai, Zhao Feihu also opened his eyes.
"Daoist Wang, what do you want us to do?"
Wang Dafu continued, "It's simple, just give them the mountaintop to themselves."
One of the cultivators frowned, "Can't we all cultivate together? The mountaintop is spacious enough; Li Qinghai and Lu Beixue can just join us."
Wang Dafu shook his head, "Daoist, it's clear you've never experienced worldly love. For a relationship to develop, they need space to be alone."
Zhao Feihu nodded, "I have no objections. A talented man with a beautiful woman makes for a good story."
Sun Ping agreed, "It's a privilege to witness a good match."
Among these cultivators were four who had been saved by Li Qinghai the day before.
These four were even more supportive than Zhao Feihu and Sun Ping, loudly proclaiming.
"Yesterday, Daoist Li Qinghai saved my life. I will unconditionally support any of his requests!"
"Exactly! I also unconditionally support Daoist Li Qinghai and hope fellow Daoists will do me this favor."
"To be honest, I do have feelings for Lu Beixue. But if she can be with Daoist Li Qinghai, I sincerely wish them well."
Seeing so many supporting Li Qinghai, even those who were reluctant had nothing more to say.
Thus, the cultivators on the mountaintop descended.

The cultivators at the foot of the mountain were puzzled to see all these prominent figures coming down.
Wang Dafu, with a look of triumph, returned to Li Qinghai's side.
Li Qinghai was a bit confused, "Brother Wang, what's the good news?"
Wang Dafu chuckled, "It's not my good news. It's yours, Junior Brother Li."
Li Qinghai was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Wang Dafu pulled Li Qinghai up from the ground, "Come with me, Junior Brother, and you'll soon find out."
Li Qinghai was bewildered, "What's going on?"
Wang Dafu just smiled at him without explaining.
With no choice, Li Qinghai followed him.
Actually, Li Qinghai had planned to rest a bit more and then head home to sleep.
After all, the person he was thinking about, Ye Feng, wouldn't be coming.
But Wang Dafu's mysterious demeanor piqued his curiosity.
Since he was bored anyway, he decided to follow and see what was happening.
At the foot of Morning Cultivation Mountain, Zhao Feihu and others greeted Li Qinghai.
"Daoist Li, it's been a while. We meet again."
"Greetings, Daoist Li. You look as impressive as ever."
Li Qinghai returned the gesture with a smile, "You're too kind, fellow Daoists."
However, the other disciples around were even more enthusiastic.
"Daoist Li, I came to Morning Cultivation Mountain today just to see you in person. You truly live up to your reputation, full of righteousness!"
"Daoist Li, I don't usually come to this mountain to cultivate, but after hearing about your deeds, I'm filled with admiration and came to see you."
"Daoist Li, you are truly a model for us! As immortals, we should be like you, with the demeanor and noble character of a true immortal!"
...
Uh, this...
Li Qinghai was dumbfounded.
Am I really that virtuous?
Why am I unaware of it myself?
And who spread all these rumors?
How am I supposed to live recklessly in the future?
These fans are too enthusiastic, it's overwhelming.
Li Qinghai was about to leave.
Wang Dafu landed a flying sword on the ground.
"Junior Brother Li, hop on. I'll take you to the mountaintop!"
"Alright."
To escape these fervent fans, Li Qinghai didn't think much and stepped onto the flying sword.
Under Wang Dafu's control, the flying sword successfully carried Li Qinghai to the mountaintop.
Li Qinghai jumped off the flying sword and glanced down the mountain.
The peak was over a hundred meters high, and the passionate shouts of the fans were barely audible.
The world was finally quiet.
Then, Li Qinghai scanned his surroundings.
There were many smooth stones of various sizes, likely used by many cultivators for meditation.
Moreover, the spiritual energy here was indeed abundant, speeding up his cultivation technique considerably.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be eager to sit down and cultivate.
Li Qinghai did find a stone to sit on and meditate, but he was actually suppressing the speed of his cultivation technique.
If he didn't suppress it, absorbing spiritual energy at this rate, he might break through to the third level of Qi Refining by the morning.
That would be a disaster for him.
Thus, Li Qinghai practiced in reverse on the mountaintop, while Wang Dafu waited below for Lu Beixue.
After a while, everyone finally saw Lu Beixue approaching.
But Lu Beixue was walking slowly, and Wang Dafu and the others were getting impatient.
So they went to meet her.
The two sides quickly met.
Lu Beixue thought Wang Dafu and the others were there to stop her from cultivating, feeling a bit indignant.
She had only come to cultivate because she heard Ye Feng wouldn't be coming to Morning Cultivation Mountain today.
But she didn't expect to run into Ye Feng's lackeys.
She decided she wouldn't cultivate then.
Lu Beixue turned to leave.
Wang Dafu called out to her, "Daoist Lu, Daoist Qinghai is waiting for you at the top."
Li Qinghai?!
Lu Beixue stopped in her tracks.
Wang Dafu landed the flying sword at Lu Beixue's feet.
"Daoist Lu, let me take you up."
Lu Beixue hesitated, wondering if Li Qinghai was really at the top or if it was Ye Fan or someone else.
Wang Dafu sighed, "Daoist Lu, you don't know. Daoist Qinghai came to Morning Cultivation Mountain early today, sitting under a tree without cultivating. I noticed he seemed to be waiting for someone. After some probing, I found out he was waiting for you, Daoist Lu. His demeanor clearly shows his deep feelings for you!"
Even the usually aloof Lu Beixue felt a bit shy.
Lu Beixue no longer hesitated and stepped onto the flying sword.
Wang Dafu gestured with both hands, "Rise!"
The flying sword soared into the sky.
Lu Beixue ascended like a celestial maiden.
Soon, the flying sword landed at the mountaintop.
Lu Beixue immediately saw Li Qinghai meditating.
It was really Li Qinghai.
He... was really waiting for me!
Lu Beixue was moved.
She gently walked over to Li Qinghai's side.
Sensing someone approaching, Li Qinghai opened his eyes.
The two gazed at each other!
