The silver-haired girl squatted there, holding up the jade plaque. Observing the various ugly expressions, her eyes sweeping over all aspects of vigilance, she collected them all. The girl, devoid of emotional fluctuations, was like a deity in the heavens, overlooking the myriad emotions of this chaotic world, love and hate intertwined, her eyes indifferent and distant, unlike a guest of this world. When the time was about right, the silver-haired girl began to leave, taking small steps. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ noⅴelfire.net Only as she left, her gaze glanced towards the table topped with a platter of pastries, for reasons unknown, her gaze lingered for a moment, then she continued to follow the little servant delivering things out, retrieved her small package nearby. After considering, seeing someone hitch a carriage, the girl borrowed it. With difficulty, she returned to the courtyard, undid the mystical skills, looking at the multitude of things. Shaking Light left many things behind, then with a hood, knocked on the door of the small adjacent room. Hao Yuanxia saw the Stargazer beside Li Guanyi, lowering his guard: Shaking Light handed him a letter, saying: "Leave it here." Hao Yuanxia questioned: "And you?" Shaking Light replied: "I have matters that require me to leave for a while." Hao Yuanxia asked: "??? Is it part of the plan?" The silver-haired Stargazer replied: "No." Just an impulse that suddenly arose. Hao Yuanxia knew staying here was the safest, he slowly nodded, and he also believed that the Marquis Qin Wu, a man of considerable virtue and reputation, would not abandon him, the silver-haired girl turned and left, carrying her luggage, her bundle. She slipped out from the bustling, anxious atmosphere of the Duke Mansion, quietly finding her horse, untying its reins, and hanging her bundle on it. With her hood up, riding her horse, the bell on the horse rang crisply. She ventured into the winds and vast desert as she always had. Li Guanyi wasn’t aiming to leave any heavy pressure on Zhu Xie. He merely finished his meal, intending to scoop up some meat porridge, possessing an Immortal Body so powerful that with Li Guanyi’s body refined and forged through cultivation, in the same realm, it was not inferior to an Overlord. In battle, regardless of power or defense, or the circulation of Inner Qi, all were exceedingly formidable. However, conversely, after this great battle, replenishing the body’s consumed Primordial Qi also required substantial expenditure; some deficiencies and losses could be recovered through cultivation techniques and breathing, while others required food and elixirs. Li Guanyi had already swallowed the elixirs he carried and consumed much meat porridge, the robust intestines of a Grandmaster Level Martial Artist meant that even common poisons, entering Li Guanyi’s stomach, would be digested directly. In the end, his stomach was filled, but the body didn’t feel sated. However, Li Guanyi couldn’t continue eating; the body’s Primordial Qi depletion could be restored with elixirs and breathing, but the common people didn’t have such abilities, and food was indeed somewhat scarce and lacking. Li Guanyi glanced sideways. Yuchi Xiong devoured meat porridge in big gulps, the horse’s incredibly sturdy, hard-to-tear-apart meat turned into paste with a single grind in his mouth, swallowing it down, three hundred plus Xuanjia Army divided into two parts. One part followed Li Zhaowen, while the other, including the fiercest soldiers, remained at Yemen Pass. Li Guanyi returned to his residence, rubbing his empty stomach, contemplating the current situation. The siege on Xiyi City had been resolved, but consequently, the entire Western Regions became even more tumultuous. Next, the task was to swiftly swallow the forty-two cities promised by Duke Li; Duke Li was no simple person, his stance differed from Li Guanyi’s, and although he promised forty-two cities, he would definitely devise ways to reclaim them thereafter. After this battle, Li Guanyi suspected someone might deduce his identity. The world is vast; it’s impossible for someone of this age, with such martial skills, to suddenly emerge from nowhere. Yet speculation was speculation, Li Guanyi only thought about eating the meat in one go before any negative consequences arose from his identity. Ha? Have you guessed it? The young general sat cross-legged in an empty place, extending his finger, tapping his brow, murmuring: "Build high walls, amass grain, and claim kingship slowly..." After all, in these turbulent times, reputation only tells everyone how troublesome you are. If Helian Jieshan knew that it was the Jiangnan Qilin, Marquis Qin Wu, ranked forty-seventh on the Famous General List charging the formation, he wouldn’t deal with him with just three thousand rearguard troops. This would require a direct confrontation, recklessly redirecting elite forces for a fierce assault. Then Li Guanyi wouldn’t be able to complete the achievements of breaking formations and slaying generals. Reputation, when the grand momentum is formed, becomes a blazing fire, igniting the momentum to soar, yet because the effect is so potent, should anyone learn that Li Guanyi was present, the Wolf King and Dangxiang would immediately alter their strategies. The name Li Guanyi alone was enough to prompt them to do so. Despite realizing that his name had grown from a small pharmacist at Huichun Hall to having the ability to influence the world’s great momentum, Li Guanyi still felt no joy. Li Guanyi had no interest in fiercely clashing with the world’s fourth-ranked general leading tens of thousands of troops. Silently amassing wealth, while others were locked in a deadly struggle, he’d develop from behind. Maintaining caution as if walking on thin ice, yet acting with boldness and determination. Unfazed by what comes, yet neither ostentatious. Bold when necessary, stable when required. Li Guanyi murmured to himself: "Forty-two cities...?" He remembered well, Li Zhaowen had shown him portions of the Western Regions Map. Among those forty-two cities, scattered were various towns, oasis, and settlements belonging to the different tribes of the Western Regions.
