Li Qinghai closed the door and continued reading.

Days passed by one after another.

Unknowingly, ten days had gone by.

During this time, Li Qinghai had finished reading the entire Beast Compendium.

Moreover, even though he hadn't been cultivating, his level had still risen to the third level of Qi Refining while reading.

A mere third level of Qi Refining was nothing to worry about for Li Qinghai.

Because he knew that Ye Feng was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As long as his strength remained below Foundation Establishment, Ye Feng could easily kill him.

Another morning came.

Li Qinghai got up, washed up, and continued reading.

Recently, Wang Dafu hadn't come to disturb him either.

This peaceful and leisurely life of a laid-back cultivator was quite pleasant.

Li Qinghai was living comfortably.

But Liu Yaoyao was extremely bored.

She would secretly come to observe Li Qinghai every day, but he never left his house.

This left her with no entertainment for quite some time.

Today, Liu Yaoyao finally couldn't take it anymore.

She came to the door and knocked hard on Li Qinghai's house.

"Hey! Li Qinghai! Come out!"

Sitting in the courtyard, holding a book and basking in the sun, Li Qinghai was startled by the sudden shout.

A little girl's voice?!

Li Qinghai's mind conjured up the image of Liu Yaoyao.

This little ancestor was a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He couldn't afford to neglect her.

He didn't want his house to be torn down.

Li Qinghai went over and opened the door.

He saw Liu Yaoyao standing with her hands on her hips, looking quite angry.

Li Qinghai was puzzled. I haven't offended this little girl, so why is she mad at me?!

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

As soon as Liu Yaoyao saw Li Qinghai, she immediately questioned him.

"What are you doing at home, why don't you go out?"

"I'm reading at home..."

"What's so good about books? Come on, let's go out together. Don't be afraid of anything, I've got your back!"

Li Qinghai pursed his lips, thinking to himself.

If I have you covering for me, what's the point of going out? I might as well stay home.

But of course, Li Qinghai didn't dare say such thoughts out loud.

He sighed dramatically, "I want to go out too, but when we were at the mountaintop, didn't Senior tell me to stay home and not wander around?"

Without another word, Li Qinghai shifted the blame directly onto Liu Daoyuan.

Liu Yaoyao blinked and thought for a moment.

It seemed that Liu Daoyuan did say something like that back then.

Liu Yaoyao deflated instantly.

Since Liu Daoyuan had instructed so, she didn't dare take Li Qinghai out.

Liu Yaoyao was left with nowhere to vent her frustration, feeling like she had punched a pillow, with no way to resolve it.

"You just wait at home!"

Liu Yaoyao stomped her foot in anger and then flew away on her sword.

Li Qinghai shook his head in confusion and went back to the courtyard to continue reading.

After a while.

Liu Yaoyao found Liu Daoyuan.

"Father," Liu Yaoyao called out with a hint of grievance.

"What's wrong?"

"Why won't you let Li Qinghai go out?"

"Of course, it's to temper his temperament."

"What kind of temperament?" Liu Yaoyao didn't quite understand.

"Haven't you noticed while observing Li Qinghai these past few days? He's someone who can't tolerate any injustice. He wants to intervene in any unfair situation. This might be a good quality, but it's also a bad habit. If he doesn't change, he'll eventually meet his downfall."

Liu Daoyuan patiently explained to Liu Yaoyao, indirectly teaching her some principles.

Liu Yaoyao tilted her head and thought.

It seemed to make sense.

If she hadn't intervened the first time, Li Qinghai's grave might have already sprouted grass.

"But..." Liu Yaoyao wanted to say something.

Liu Daoyuan continued, "Yaoyao, think about it. If Li Qinghai stays quietly at home for a while, not only will his temperament become more stable, but his strength will also improve. Won't that make it less likely for him to meet his downfall in the future? Do you want to see Li Qinghai fall?"

"I don't want to." Liu Yaoyao shook her head.

"That's right." Liu Daoyuan said, then changed the subject, "Yaoyao, think again. Hasn't Li Qinghai offended Ye Fan? When he finishes his seclusion, he'll definitely be at the Core Formation stage. With your current strength, can you protect Li Qinghai?"

"Pro...bably...not." Liu Yaoyao said blankly.

"Then if you don't want Li Qinghai to fall and can't protect him, what should you do?"

Liu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, "Increase my strength!!"

Liu Daoyuan smiled slightly, "Yes, exactly."

Liu Yaoyao clenched her small fists, "This time in seclusion, I must also break through to Core Formation! Only then can I protect my little brother!"

Liu Daoyuan nodded in satisfaction.

If Li Qinghai were here, he would surely say earnestly to Liu Yaoyao.

Yaoyao Dao Companion, you're being manipulated.

Of course, Li Qinghai couldn't possibly be here, nor would he know that Liu Yaoyao considered him her little brother and even vowed to protect him.

Liu Yaoyao, too, had a strong sense of justice.

Every time she encountered a villain, she felt the urge to teach them a lesson.

But Liu Daoyuan feared that Liu Yaoyao, being so young, would develop a violent temperament if she resorted to fighting too often.

So he always advised Liu Yaoyao to prioritize self-preservation and not to fight casually.

And Li Qinghai's actions naturally earned Liu Yaoyao's strong approval, making her unilaterally acknowledge him as her little brother.

With her little brother fighting injustice in the front, and her as the leader overseeing everything, Liu Yaoyao felt her blood boil!

This little brother was too important to Liu Yaoyao.

He absolutely couldn't die!!

Liu Yaoyao was filled with determination; she had to cultivate!

But before cultivating, she had to visit her little brother.

Liu Yaoyao flew on her sword and returned to the Green Bamboo Residence.

"Li Qinghai!"

Li Qinghai felt a headache coming on; why was this little ancestor back again?

He went over to open the door.

Li Qinghai forced a smile, "Yaoyao Dao Companion."

Liu Yaoyao, with an air of authority, instructed, "I'm going into seclusion for a while. Before I come out, stay at the Green Bamboo Residence and don't go out, understand!"

Seclusion?

That's great.

Li Qinghai readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I won't go out."

Liu Yaoyao still felt uneasy, worried that her prized little brother might get into trouble.

She then took out three talismans from her storage bag.

"Here are three talismans. The red one is a Fireball Talisman. If someone fights you, throw it at them."

"The blue one is a Swift Wind Talisman. If the Fireball Talisman doesn't work, then run quickly."

"The purple one is a Shrinking Ground Talisman. If you can't outrun them, use it, and it will randomly transport you somewhere. It's a top-notch life-saving talisman!"

Li Qinghai was stunned.

With these talismans, how could he possibly die...

Liu Yaoyao didn't give Li Qinghai a chance to refuse, stuffing the talismans into his hands.

Then Liu Yaoyao, pretending to be a master, placed her hands behind her back and slightly raised her head.

"Li Qinghai, cultivate well. When I come out of seclusion, I hope to see you still alive! I'm off!"

Liu Yaoyao turned lightly and flew away on her sword.

Li Qinghai watched Liu Yaoyao leave, then looked at the talismans in his hand, silently shedding tears in his heart.

Why do you all keep forcing opportunities on me, have you ever asked how I feel?!
