Legend of the Great Sage

>For cultivators, settling down for life and becoming partners of cultivation had always been commonplace.
There was not as much etiquette and courtesy to follow like regular people.

“You’re nowhere close to being your elder sister’s opponent.”

Li Qingshan stowed the invitation away.
“Alright, I’ll definitely go when the time comes.
He’s finally succeeded with Foundation Establishment!”

“My elder brother will definitely become an exceptional cultivator.” Hua Chenglu said proudly.

“Tell me, you were ogling Chenglu earlier, weren’t you?” After Hua Chenglu left, Han Qiongzhi wrapped her arm around Li Qingshan’s neck and climbed on top of him, curling her lips and asking loudly.

“Everyone has an appreciation for beauty.
You might be my only woman, but you can’t take my right to admire other women away from me.
Heh, weren’t you pretty confident earlier?” Li Qingshan shifted his gaze.

“That’s your problem!” Han Qiongzhi’s face grew closer.

“My wife, don’t worry.
The little girl has none of your perks.
You better deal with my problem first!” Li Qingshan picked up Han Qiongzhi with a chuckle and made his way into the house.

The estate of the Hua family that stood like a city was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
A jubilant atmosphere filled the whole place.

It did not seem like a banquet and was more like a grand ceremony instead.

To cultivators, nothing was more important or worth celebrating than breaking through, even when compared to marriage, having children, or the four joys of life.

As a result, the Hua family invited guests from everywhere.
It was the time for guests to arrive.
Flying avians and soaring ships arrived one after another with cultivators.
There were plenty of Foundation Establishment cultivators too.

Among all of that, a cloud passed through the rain and landed at the entrance.

The main entrance was open with people flowing in and out.
Li Qingshan stepped into the city, and the rain stopped.

The formation above the city was activated.
The rain landed on the invisible, spherical barrier and slid down.
Under the illumination of the entire city’s lanterns, it was beautiful.

Han Qiongzhi pushed aside the servant who had come to lead the way.
The servant clearly recognised Han Qiongzhi, so he backed away without even asking to see the invitation.

With great familiarity, Han Qiongzhi moved through the meandering corridors and arrived before a huge building that stood like a tower in the centre of the city.
It was like a glorious, burning tree that reached towards the sky.

Under the tree of fire, the siblings, Hua Chengzan and Hua Chenglu, personally received guests at the entrance.
They were dressed splendidly.
Standing under the lustrous lantern light, they seemed like a match made in heaven.
All of the guests saw them and gasped in admiration.

In particular, Hua Chengzan was already quite a rare, handsome man in the world.
After establishing a foundation, he only seemed more romantic.
The gazes of the female cultivators passing by were almost sucked over to him.

“Qingshan, Qiongzhi, you’ve come.” Hua Chengzan spotted the pair and went up to receive them with a smile.
He did not grow arrogant with his increase in cultivation.
He was just as gentle and refined as before, which made him seem as pleasant as the spring breeze.
His smile had even grown more sincere than before.

Although it had been quite some time since they had seen him, they did not find him to be foreign at all.
Instead, they found him more familiar than ever.

“That’s right.
You were in there for so long that I even thought you had died in there!” Li Qingshan patted his shoulder with a smile, but Han Qiongzhi smacked him instead.
“You better stop with the unlucky words on such a joyous occasion.”

Hua Chengzan’s smiling gaze moved between the two of them.
“You really have… When I first heard about it, I leapt in fright.
Who was the one who told me there was no point in having a man?”

“I just found him pitiful, that’s all,” Han Qiongzhi reddened and tried rebuking him.

“And who was the one who told me he didn’t know what being deeply in love was?”

Li Qingshan coughed dryly.
“I was just playing along back then.”

“So you were always playing along with me?” “You’ve misheard.
I said I was just ignorant because of my age, ignorant because of my age.”

Hua Chengzan laughed aloud and patted Li Qingshan’s shoulder.
“Then do you understand me a little now?”

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
“You still haven’t forgotten.”

Hua Chengzan asked, “Have you forgotten?”

“Forgotten what?” Hua Chenglu and Han Qiongzhi butted in at the same time.
With their sharp instincts as women, they could sense that something was amiss.

“Difficult to say,” Li Qingshan chuckled and exchanged glances with Hua Chengzan.
They understood each other.
Who would have thought that their friendship originally blossomed because they fancied the same woman?

“You should go in first.
I’ll come and find you later.”

At this moment, more guests arrived, so Hua Chengzan said that before going off to receive them.

“You better explain yourself.
What is it?”

As the two of them entered the building, Han Qiongzhi pestered him.
All Li Qingshan could do was change the topic constantly.
When he became tired of her questioning, he said, “This is a secret among men.
Why’re you trying to get involved as a woman?”

Li Qingshan stopped and looked back.
Hua Chengzan’s face shone with happiness as he received and saw off guests.
His picturesque appearance was dashing, even enough for the hearts of men to skip a beat.
The heavens had endowed him with the beautiful appearance of a matchless romantic, but they just happened to make him fall in love with an unattainable woman at the same time.
Were the heavens toying with him?

Forget? He obviously could not forget.
After all, the memory from back then had left such a deep impression, but there was no need for it to linger on his mind constantly.
Cherishing the person in front of him was most important, right?

He smiled as he tried to coax the unhappy Han Qiongzhi.
He simply could not understand the thoughts of someone infatuated!

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance.
His face was bleak as his green clothes drifted about.
