Chapter 161: Mandate of Heaven

When Pei Shouchong said these words, Li Qingyan found the tentacle sticking out of his transport and flicked it gently. It circled around him like a snake for a few weeks, as if trying to "get in".

I've been in a similar situation beforeβ€”it means he's trying to probe himself further. It is not only the common kind of investigation between monks to find out each other's cultivation, realm or magic attainments, but also to look at their own "fortune".

In the words of a street fortune teller, it's about seeing what your future holds and what kind of person you really are.

He was interested in himself. So this called Li Qingyan also interested in him - he has been an unknown little person for more than ten years, but after listening to this Pei Shouchong's words today, it seems that this person has long known himself and paid special attention to it.

Because? I can't think of anything other than his own life and that vague memory.

Therefore, he restrained his spirit and ignored the other party's investigation of him for the time being-Pei Shouchong's "tentacles" slowly wandered away, and he couldn't really touch his luck. In reality, there is nothing to touch.

"What Mr. Pei means is that you know that he will kill Pei Bolu, and you also know that he is going to take away the secret of your sect...... Do you know what will happen in Beishan?" Li Qingyan took two steps back from his side and walked to the end of the bed.

This location is only separated from the outside by a wall. He can break through the wall at any time if necessary.

"Sort of. Pei Shouchong gently rubbed the smooth cane handle and looked at Li Qingyan through the lens, "Oh, Xiao Li, look, I know what you're going to say again." You want to ask me, since you know everything, why don't you stop them. ”

Li Qingyan said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

"Because it's like I know that someone will come and abolish Yuan Xiu's cultivation. Didn't I look at you too, and didn't stop you?"

"These things always have to happen, they are all the result of fate, and no one can interfere. Even if I stop you today, there will be others, hundreds of people from the inner gate of the Lianhua Sect, as long as one of them learns the details of this matter, they will inevitably run over to clear the portal. And I am the head of a sect, and it is impossible for me to show favoritism. ”

"But, don't you want to give it a try?" Li Qingyan tried to analyze whether what this person said just now was sincere or insincere. But in the end, I came to a conclusion that surprised me - it should be sincere.

"Mr. Pei, your words have confused me. On the one hand, you think what Pei Yuanxiu and Yu Peiyan's gang did was wrong. On the other hand, with your position and power, it is not difficult to try to stop them. But now you're telling me that everything is meant to happen and that no one can interfere. I'm confused and curious - why do you think that?"

"Because as far as I know, the cultivators of the six sects and five sects rarely believe in any Heavenly Mandate. Cultivation is to go against the sky...... Isn't that what you monks say the most?"

But what Li Qingyan was thinking when he said these words was not really to get an explanation of "why he thought like this". This kind of first-level boss must have his own considerations when he speaks and does things, and this kind of person who says "can't change and interfere" will not be like those mortals who lament "this is fate".

It must have been something that I had to go through to have such a firm thought.

So what exactly did he go through? This man said that he didn't know who would abolish Pei Yuanxiu's cultivation, so he came to "take a look" - but for a person who could sit back and watch the destruction of Beishan and his grandson go astray and be indifferent, he would not be curious about such a thing, or even leave the capital area.

It should not just be a "look", but should have a clear purpose.

Maybe it's for myself - that's why I'm here to "wait for the rabbit" and talk so much "nonsense" to myself.

This person may want something out of himself...... But when Li Qingyan thought of this, he had a trace of expectation in his heart. The memories and secrets on his body are still unclear to him. But the person in front of him seems to know a little more than himself-so when he looks at Pei Shouchong when these thoughts arise in his heart, he will find that there are other complex emotions in his eyes.

Much like ...... A man, outside the iron cage, examines a sleeping lion.

It's kind of interesting...... Li Qingyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what does this guy know and what does he want to know?

"It's you who have misunderstood this sentence. Pei Shouchong smiled, "Walking against the sky on the way of cultivation, that day refers to people's natural desires, not the destiny of heaven." As for the true Destiny...... Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to change his life against the sky. It's not about changing your own life, but about changing your life in this world. ”

"It's a pity that it took a lot of effort and a lot of lives to take a lot of life, and in the end it still failed. It was only after I witnessed those things that I realized what it meant to be inviolable. What's happening these days...... I saw what happened decades ago, nearly 100 years ago. ”

"Over the years...... There are one or two people who want to change that, but they don't succeed. When he said this, Pei Shouchong sighed regretfully, "It is because of me that I know that the destiny of heaven is difficult to violate, and no one can change what is destined to happen." Xiao Li, do you know who I'm talking about?"

It's time to get to the point. Really. Li Qingyan thought in his heart that this first-class boss really wanted to talk to him about something else.

In his experience, this kind of thing usually doesn't end well - you can hardly expect someone who is far stronger than you and wants something from you to treat you fairly.

But there was no fear in his heart right now.

Because the power of awakening a few days ago gave him some courage, making him feel that even the person in front of him might not be so easy to kill himself. If the two sides start a war, it means that the entire refugee camp near Beishan could be destroyed. Since Pei Shouchong was willing to be the acting sect leader of the Lianhua Sect in the "new society", he must not be willing to give up everything he had already gained in the world.

It's also because the things that have been sealed in his head have tormented him for too many years. Occasionally, they would flash back into his memory, making him feel as if he was remembering something from the past. It's like a storyteller who always throws out some mysteries, but is slow to reveal the mystery. One day, two days, a year and two days may be bearable, but the whole twelve years of hard work have made Li Qingyan, a person who actually retains a strong curiosity about many things, feel extremely tormented.

When I was looking for star fruit before, I thought she might be related to some mystery in herself. But it turned out that the girl seemed to be just some kind of guide or clue - under the influence of "Divine Providence", she introduced herself into one thing. And then...... Pei Shouchong appeared.

Perhaps he could answer many questions. For some of the answers he was about to get, Li Qingyan was willing to take the risk of wrestling with him for a while.

So he whispered, "You mean my father?"

He hadn't said the words "father" and "mine" together for more than a decade. But now that I say it, I feel much more relaxed.

Pei Shouchong was slightly stunned. It seems that this first-level cultivator of the Lotus Flower Sect did not expect that Li Qingyan would really mention this word, and he did not hesitate to say it.
