In that case, let’s watch and see.

However, we should first have Zhen Wanshou send some small animals to check out the current situation at the Medical King Valley and see how Yin Changli is doing.

After all, we did promise Mu Qingge to take Yin Changli away.

But when Li Changqing talked to Zhen Wanshou about this, Zhen Wanshou flatly refused.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhen Wanshou couldn’t help but say: "The animals I usually use to gather intelligence are just small creatures, like sparrows, and you want them to fly all the way to the Medical King Valley? Are you trying to tire them to death?"

"They’re just ordinary little sparrows, not Spirit Beasts, what are you thinking?" Zhen Wanshou said helplessly.

"That’s true too."

Li Changqing thought Zhen Wanshou made a good point.

"Why don’t you control some Spirit Beasts then?" Li Changqing asked again.

"Spirit Beasts? Haha, with my skills, a Spirit Beast would likely eat me." Zhen Wanshou gave Li Changqing a big roll of the eyes.

"Makes sense."

Li Changqing suddenly thought that he could get some Spirit Beasts and raise them specifically for intelligence gathering, wouldn’t that be great?

Although Spirit Beasts can’t speak human language, Zhen Wanshou could understand them.

Li Changqing shared his idea with Zhen Wanshou, who agreed.

If Li Changqing could get them, Zhen Wanshou would be able to communicate with the Spirit Beasts properly and use them for his own purposes.

Li Changqing immediately sent a letter to the Evergreen Commerce Association, asking them to get a few flying Spirit Beasts for him.

Yan Botao hurried to make arrangements upon receiving the letter.

Meanwhile, after a day of rest, Mu Qingge’s injuries had improved significantly, and she was much less exhausted.

Lately, she had been on the run and hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep.

Last night, she slept at Li Changqing’s mansion and was feeling much better now.

Zhang Fuguang was still diligently sweeping the courtyard; he didn’t have much else to do each day. He would take his daughter to school in the morning and pick her up in the evening, spending his free time sweeping.

"Where is Mr. Changqing?" Mu Qingge asked as she walked out.

"At the Qing Mansion." Zhang Fuguang glanced at Mu Qingge, his eyes calm, as if Mu Qingge’s stunning beauty had no effect on him.

"Mr. Changqing is Princess Yin Qing’s teacher; he’ll be back shortly."

"I see."

Mu Qingge had no choice but to wait for Li Changqing to return.

Just as Mu Qingge was about to walk to the backyard, Zhang Fuguang blocked her path.

"The backyard is Mr. Changqing’s private space; you can’t enter," Zhang Fuguang said.

"Oh?" Mu Qingge was intrigued.

But after thinking it over, she turned and left; her curiosity had often led her into trouble before.

Before long, Li Changqing returned.

"Mr. Changqing, you’re back," Zhang Fuguang said, approaching him.

"Yes." Li Changqing replied and then saw Mu Qingge, smiling as he asked, "Are your injuries nearly healed?"

"The injuries are not a problem," Mu Qingge said with a smile.

Li Changqing looked at the Ghost Grudge Curse on Mu Qingge’s neck.

Yes, compared to the Ghost Grudge Curse, those injuries were indeed not a big deal.

Because when the Ghost Grudge Curse acted up, the inhuman pain was the hardest to endure.

"Come with me."

After saying this, Li Changqing headed toward the backyard.

Seeing this, Mu Qingge quickly followed.

"There have been too many changes lately, and I can’t predict what will happen in the future, so I can help you increase your strength," Li Changqing said as he led Mu Qingge to a room in the backyard.

"What is this place...?"

Mu Qingge curiously looked at the room.

Li Changqing opened the door, and Ah Fei inside immediately woke up. Seeing that it was Li Changqing, it relaxed.

Li Changqing had left Ah Fei here to help guard this place.

Inside were some of Li Changqing’s recent carvings.

They were not Painting Treasures.

Rather, they were things meant for gaining insight.

When Mu Qingge walked in, she was shocked by the scene before her.

This room had rows of shelves filled with various bizarre wooden sculptures.

There were oddly-shaped fierce beasts and people whose names were unknown.

There were dozens of them.

These were Li Changqing’s recent works.

Some of the Spirit Beasts were carved by Li Changqing based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, while the figures were the deities and Buddhas he had sculpted.

In order to build his own power to counteract the turbulent times in the Cangyuan Realm, he had no other skills, but he could help them increase their strength.

Otherwise, how could he survive in these times?

Mu Qingge’s heart trembled at the sight of these things.

She naturally knew the power of Li Changqing’s wood carvings; each one was a treasure of inestimable value, capable of attracting countless suitors.

It was unexpected to find so many here.

"Choose one you like and try to gain some insight from it. Maybe you’ll discover something," Li Changqing said, not certain what insights these carvings could provide, but if Mu Qingge could gain some insights, she might have a great chance of stepping into the Grandmaster realm in the future.

That would be a huge boost for the Evergreen Commerce Association.

"Really?" Mu Qingge said excitedly as she stepped forward.

"Yes, but you can only focus on one," Li Changqing said seriously, as trying to gain insights from multiple pieces at once would likely lead to distraction.

Moreover, it was improbable to gain insights from more than one.
