Chapter 69

"Hehe." In response to the little yellow chick's question, Master Mu Wan's face was full of a mischievous smile.

It looked quite chilling.

The little yellow chick was startled and immediately shrank back.

"Are you familiar with any of the Heavenly Masters from Tianfu? Do you have any targets?" Master Mu Wan finally asked Li Tianming.

"I don't know any of them."

"Alright, come to my room tonight, and I'll give you a detailed introduction." She raised her eyebrows and gave him a flirtatious wink, truly charming.

If Li Tianming hadn't just had his mind cleansed by Jiang Feilin, he might not have been able to hold himself back.

"Master, it's inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone at midnight, isn't it?" Li Tianming warned.

Master Mu Wan loved to tease people; if he really fell for it, she would definitely make him suffer.

"It's fine, why wouldn't it be? I just want to study you, to see what special qualities you have that made Princess Ling actively seek your embrace."

Master Mu Wan blinked her eyes.

Li Tianming was startled.

"Don't worry, I won't take off your clothes." Master Mu Wan smiled ambiguously.

By saying this, she was clearly trying to hide something.

"Master, I'll send my mother back first and spend a couple of days with her. I'll come to see you the day after tomorrow, is that okay..." Li Tianming asked.

He definitely needed to familiarize himself with the Heavenly Masters, so he had to meet with Master Mu Wan once...

"Sure, after all, haste makes waste." Master Mu Wan continued to tease him.

However, Li Tianming wasn't going to fall for it.

He didn't believe that he had the charm to make her have any intentions toward him.

She was the great goddess of the Phoenix Hall, a beauty pursued even by the hall master, and eighty percent of the young men in the academy had their hearts racing for her.

If he really believed in his own charm, he would end up being teased by Master Mu Wan to the point of being unrecognizable.

Of course, today he had already obtained everything he wanted.

With so much joy in his heart, what he most desired was to share it with his mother!

There were still some scattered battles in the Yanhuang battlefield.

After bidding farewell to Master Mu Wan, Li Tianming walked through the crowd.

Finally, he saw her.

The evening sunlight was orange-red, dyeing her white hair the same color, making the wrinkles on her face more noticeable.

But all of this couldn't stop the content and happy smile that appeared on her face when she saw Li Tianming.

"Mother!" Li Tianming rushed forward, picked her up, and spun her around three times.

"I want to hug my mother too!" The little yellow chick joined in.

"Ha ha..." Wei Jing held Li Tianming with one hand and Yinghuo with the other.

Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at her son; though she was smiling, there were already tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, it's okay to be moved, but don't cry, or I'll get too proud." Li Tianming said.

"Who said I was going to cry?" Wei Jing said, feeling guilty.

Actually, who knew that she had waited for twenty years to reach this happy moment.

The excitement in her heart was only known to Li Cu, who had been by her side all along.

"Your son's performance has made you feel vindicated, and it's normal to be moved to tears." Li Tianming said proudly.

"Who said I was moved? Tianming, I'm very dissatisfied with you now." Wei Jing said with a stern face.

"How can that be? Wasn't your son's performance today perfect?" Li Tianming asked.

"Let's not talk about your performance. I want to know when you and Princess Ling became so close, and why you didn't tell me." Wei Jing blinked her eyes.

Actually, this was what made her the happiest.

"Not yet, we're still far from it. Right now, it's just a bit of a hint." Li Tianming said, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Really? Then tell me about any progress you've made." Wei Jing shed tears of happiness.

"No problem, I'll definitely let Mother review it personally." Li Tianming smiled.

"You're being sensible." Wei Jing smiled through her tears.

"Mother, don't count on him. I don't think he has the skills to charm girls. You should count on me. In a few days, I'll make you a grandmother." The little yellow chick laughed.

It was quite amusing, making Wei Jing laugh heartily. This moment of happiness was Li Tianming's greatest joy.

However, at such a moment, there were always people who appeared at the wrong time.

At the beginning, Xue Lan and her group passed by here, and now that the ranking battle was over, they were passing by again.

Moreover, there were more people this time.

In addition to Xing Que, Chen Hao, and Chen Yao, there were also the Yuan Yu Lady from the Star Mansion and others.

Xue Lan and the Yuan Yu Lady walked in the center, their faces cold, and no one spoke.

In this bad mood, they suddenly saw Wei Jing and Li Tianming laughing.

Xue Lan's face twitched violently, almost shaking off a layer of powder.

Li Tianming's defeat of Chen Yao had already given her a big blow, and then becoming the top disciple and getting close to Princess Ling.

All of this had completely overshadowed her two sons.

Thinking about her previous boasting in front of Wei Jing, her face was now burning with pain.

As they passed by, Chen Hao and Xing Que from Tianfu stopped and looked at Li Tianming coldly.

"Brother, you must take revenge for me and make him beg for mercy." Chen Yao gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, since he wants to enter Tianfu, he will definitely face challenges. He's our age, and once he enters Tianfu, he won't have any advantages. We can easily deal with him." Chen Hao said.

"Brother, just wait for the good news. He can only bully here because of his age."

"At his age and with his strength, he can only be at the bottom in Tianfu. He's from the countryside, and he's naturally inferior to us." Xing Que said solemnly.

"Mother, I'll go over there." Chen Hao suddenly said.

"What for?"

"Just watch."

Chen Hao and Xing Que exchanged a glance, then walked through the crowd toward Li Tianming.

"Li Tianming." Chen Hao stood in front of him, a remarkable figure, worthy of being the kind of top talent that Li Tianming could only look up to three years ago.

"Is there something?"

"No, is this your mother?" Chen Hao smiled and asked.

Li Tianming didn't answer.

"Looks like it. But it's quite interesting. If someone didn't know, they might think this is your great-grandmother." Chen Hao smiled.

"Just get to the point."

Li Tianming looked behind them, where Xue Lan and the Yuan Yu Lady were watching coldly.

"No, I'm here to do you a favor. Do you know the address 187 Gaoling Street in the East District of Yan City?" Chen Hao said.

Li Tianming didn't speak.

"This is a coffin shop opened by our Star Chamber. I see that your mother needs it, so I'm giving you a gift to congratulate you on becoming the top disciple."

"When you go there, just give your name, and I'll give you a luxury coffin to make your mother's departure more dignified." Chen Hao finished, and he and Xing Que laughed.

They laughed wildly and then walked away.

Their words also made Xue Lan laugh, easing her discomfort.

"You shouldn't talk like that." Li Cu couldn't bear to listen and muttered.

"Servant, shut up." Xing Que glared and slapped her.

Bang!

Li Tianming reacted quickly, blocking Xing Que's slap with his left hand, or it would have killed Li Cu.

Xing Que's realm was at least near the peak of the Spirit Source stage, far higher than Li Tianming's.

Even without using much power, the slap, blocked by the Dark Arm, still caused Li Tianming pain, and he had to take two steps back to steady himself.

Actually, he didn't know that Xing Que was even more shocked.

Because when he hit Li Tianming's arm, it felt like hitting steel, and his hand also felt pain.

"Chen Hao, Xing Que, let's go." Xue Lan Lady raised her head, like a proud rooster.

"Li Tianming, when you enter Tianfu, I'll give you more surprises. You'll find that opposing us is the most foolish decision of your life."

Chen Hao said this, exchanged a glance with Xing Que, and turned to leave.

Li Tianming didn't want to make any threats to them, as it was meaningless.

His mother also didn't want Li Tianming to keep纠缠 with them.

So, he wouldn't make any threats in front of his mother.

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

Today, he could crush Chen Yao, and one day, he would catch up to these peers.

Including Mu Qingqing, Jiang Qingluan, Chen Hao, Xing Que, and even Lin Xiaoting.

"Mother, don't be angry with them." Li Tianming said.

Their insults about Wei Jing's current illness were indeed very low.

"I'm not angry, just sad. Life is too harsh and cruel, and everything has changed."

She was just very regretful that the Xue Lan in her memory had become what she is now.

From Xiaolan to Xue Lan Lady, she was no longer the same person.

"Madam is right, we commoners feel it even more deeply."

"We also suffer. Heaven has destined us to be lowly ants, to be trampled upon. It's not easy for me to be alive now." Li Cu sighed.

"Li Cu, you've worked hard." Wei Jing said.

"Not at all, life is a sea of suffering. It's good to be alive, and I'm so lucky to meet people like Young Master and Madam."

"I just hope that Young Master will rise to prominence and Madam will live a long life. In this world, good people do suffer."

"But believe in heaven, one day you will be rewarded." Li Cu said seriously.

She had just been on the brink of death.

Her reflections on life were no different from anyone else's, a side of heaven that makes all beings equal.

Li Tianming carried Wei Jing, and they were about to leave.

"Mother, I have the qualifications to enter Tianfu. Tell me tonight who can help you solve this life crisis." He said seriously while carrying her.

Wei Jing was still hesitant.

"Rest assured, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in this world, no matter how hard this task is, no matter what I have to pay, I will definitely do it."

"If I can't, I, Li Tianming, swear that I will join you on the path to the underworld."

Every word Li Tianming said was a solemn vow at that moment.

"Alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you when we get back."

When he made a vow with his life, how could Wei Jing still insist?

She was indeed worried that her situation would make her child pay too much and face even more dangers.

But he had said that if she died, he would follow her.

With such a son, what could she do besides being moved and encouraging him to fight?

He had already fulfilled his vow and become the top disciple.

Her hands clung to her son's neck, leaning on his broad back.

"Son, you've really grown up. I'm proud of you. My life has been unsatisfactory, but you are the most precious treasure in my life."

When Wei Jing said this, tears fell on Li Tianming's ear.

"Don't say that, there are many mistakes in what you said." Li Tianming stopped, his tone serious.

"What mistakes?"

"Of course, the mistake is that your life will never be unsatisfactory, and your life is still very long."

She couldn't see Li Tianming's expression, but she could hear how determined he was when he said this.

"Alright." She felt she couldn't control herself and wanted to cry.

Not out of sadness, but because she felt that heaven hadn't wronged her.

"Life is like this, with many unsatisfactory things, but there are also things that make you want to stay in this world."

"Tianming, Mother doesn't want to die. I want to live well, to see you get married and have children, to see you achieve glory and wealth, to see you take revenge and reclaim what belongs to you. I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

She finally couldn't control herself, tears streaming down, wetting Li Tianming's neck.

Even wetting his hair.

Li Tianming stood still, the damp cold penetrating his skin and into his flesh, but it ignited him like alcohol.

He didn't say a word, adjusted Wei Jing to make her more comfortable, and then took a step forward, moving forward!

He thought, from now on, he would crush them completely!
