My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 84: The Father-Son Game

Hearing this, Li Changqing roughly understood the course of events.

Lu Qiaoqiao discovered a magical Painting Treasure in the Long Night Ancient Kingdom. By using it as a medium, she could find people who had once come into contact with it.

Then, Lu Qiaoqiao used this Painting Treasure to let her Divine Soul float from the Long Night Ancient Kingdom to the Minghong State.

She originally wanted to contact Li Hengsheng, but Li Hengsheng’s Divine Soul was too weak, and combined with the poor signal on Lu Qiaoqiao’s end, she couldn’t establish a connection with Li Hengsheng.

Thus, she discovered me, and since my signal was quite strong, Lu Qiaoqiao managed to contact me.

She wanted to ask from me how Li Hengsheng had been doing recently.

This girl, she still cares so much about our family’s brat.

It seems she’s a devoted person.

However, Li Changqing was a bit curious, wasn’t it rumored that the Painting Treasure required the Innate Realm to use? Lu Qiaoqiao shouldn’t be at the Innate Realm, should she?

But Li Changqing didn’t ask much, realizing his understanding of the Painting Treasure was still too limited.

"I understand now." Li Changqing nodded thoughtfully.

"I didn’t expect, Senior, that you have such profound Divine Soul cultivation. It seems even Senior Brother Li is unaware of it." Lu Qiaoqiao was also quite surprised internally.

"Hah." Li Changqing didn’t know how to react and could only say helplessly, "There are some things he doesn’t know for his own protection. If there’s a chance to meet that lad in the future, I hope you’ll also keep it a secret for me. Otherwise, it might bring disaster upon him."

Saying this, Li Changqing also showed a look of wistful loss.

As if there was some enormous hidden story within.

Seeing the look on Li Changqing’s face, Lu Qiaoqiao also nodded. In her view, someone as formidable as Li Changqing must have an extremely complex background.

It’s very likely there’s a huge hidden story.

"Rest assured, Senior, I won’t tell anyone."

"Has Senior Brother Li been doing well recently?" Lu Qiaoqiao asked softly, "After I left, did anyone from the Long Night Ancient Kingdom cause him trouble?"

"Don’t worry, Hengsheng has been well. He often writes to me lately." Li Changqing didn’t hide anything and shared recent happenings about Li Hengsheng with Lu Qiaoqiao.

Hearing this, Lu Qiaoqiao was so surprised that her little mouth was agape.

"I knew Senior Brother Li is amazing." Lu Qiaoqiao’s eyes sparkled, "He truly is extraordinary."

"My son, he must be extraordinary!" Li Changqing said proudly.

"It’s just that I haven’t had the time to take care of him in recent years. He’s been wandering alone, suffering." Thinking about Li Hengsheng, a teenager practicing cultivation alone in the Mountain Ancient Land.

With no family support, still being bled dry, Li Changqing could imagine the hardships Li Hengsheng had endured.

"I heard that Hengsheng received a lot of care from you over the years, thank you." Li Changqing sincerely expressed his gratitude to Lu Qiaoqiao.

"Not at all, it was Senior Brother Li who took care of me in many ways." Lu Qiaoqiao’s expression darkened slightly, "In the years I’ve known Senior Brother Li, he’s helped me a lot."

"Fortunately, Senior Brother Li is getting better and better now." As Lu Qiaoqiao said this, her eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Yes, he’s working hard for you." Li Changqing said, "I also realized my past mistakes, our father-son relationship has improved a lot now. In his letter yesterday, he mentioned he wanted to eat the spicy shrimps I cook."

"Hmm?" Lu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, "Spicy shrimps?"

"Yes." Li Changqing laughed, "We talked about old times, and he said he remembered when he was little, on his birthday, I’d make spicy shrimps, and there was once his mother peeled them for him."

Hearing this, Lu Qiaoqiao was even more confused.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Lu Qiaoqiao’s expression, Li Changqing wondered if he had said something wrong.

"It’s a bit strange." Lu Qiaoqiao pondered, "Senior Brother Li never eats shrimp because he once ate shrimp as a child and felt inexplicably unwell, almost died, and never ate shrimp again. Whenever the sect provided meals with shrimp, Senior Brother Li would give the shrimp to me."

"Moreover... I’ve also heard Senior Brother Li say he never met his mother since birth, so how could he remember his mother peeling shrimp for him?"

Lu Qiaoqiao tilted her head as she spoke.

Hearing Lu Qiaoqiao’s words, Li Changqing’s heart skipped a beat.

That brat tricked me!

Luckily, I got the information from Lu Qiaoqiao, otherwise, wouldn’t I have been tricked by that brat?

He doesn’t eat shrimp and has never seen his mother since childhood.

Li Changqing absorbed these two key pieces of information.

But it also left Li Changqing a bit frustrated. He really knew nothing about his own past, not even where his wife went, and even his son Li Hengsheng didn’t know.

That’s quite troublesome.

Surely, I can’t keep hiding from Li Hengsheng forever about where his mother is.

"I’m really an irresponsible father." Li Changqing smiled wryly, "I even forgot that this brat can’t eat shrimp."

"I remember now, he said in his letter he dreamed of that scene. Having never seen his mother since childhood, he probably also wishes to see her."

Li Changqing slowly made up some excuses.

Lu Qiaoqiao heard this and didn’t doubt it, nodding slightly in agreement.

"I feel I’ve failed Hengsheng. Miss Lu, if you have time, could you tell me more about Hengsheng’s experiences over the years? I want to give him more care."

Li Changqing decided to gather information about Li Hengsheng from Lu Qiaoqiao.

Li Hengsheng, alone outside, had good feelings toward Lu Qiaoqiao. He surely shared many things with her, making it an excellent starting point.

If Lu Qiaoqiao hadn’t appeared tonight, Li Changqing realized that if he sent that letter, he’d be thoroughly exposed.

"Sure." Lu Qiaoqiao also nodded in agreement, then said, "However, my time here is limited, and it’s only because my cultivation reached the Postnatal Realm that I could barely come out. In the future, as my cultivation grows stronger, I might be able to stay longer."

"I came to see you today, Senior, just to find out how Senior Brother Li has been doing recently. Knowing that he’s well, I can rest assured," Lu Qiaoqiao said with a sincere expression.

"All right, Miss Lu, make sure to stay safe over there," Li Changqing responded with concern.

"Don’t worry, Senior. They temporarily need the Qishan Order within me, so they won’t do anything to me. Basically, they accommodate my requests, and I’m doing well," Lu Qiaoqiao said, her expression suddenly turning serious. "However, after arriving in the Long Night Ancient Kingdom, I’ve discovered something seems off."

"The entire Long Night Ancient Kingdom appears to be plotting something in secret. Although I don’t know what it is, it might be detrimental to the Human Race. I hope you’ll be extra cautious, Senior."

"Okay." Li Changqing replied in agreement, but felt helpless internally, wondering what exactly he could be cautious about.

He didn’t understand them at all.

All he wanted was to work hard, earn money, and provide a good life for his son.

They could plot whatever they wanted.

After all, if the sky falls, someone stronger like Martial Hero Wu Da Lang would bear the brunt.

Rather than worrying about what they were plotting, Li Changqing was more curious about who the child’s mother was.

At this point, Lu Qiaoqiao’s figure had almost faded beyond recognition.

"Senior, I will return. If possible, next time I hope you’ll help me pass a message to Senior Brother Li..." As she spoke, Lu Qiaoqiao’s figure vanished into Li Changqing’s Divine Soul.

Li Changqing also woke up from his dream.

He walked to the table, took the letter out of the drawer, and tore it up.

Sending this letter would be tantamount to admitting that he was a fake.

Li Changqing understood why he was under suspicion.

First, the difference between him and the previous Li Changqing was too vast, almost like night and day.

The sudden change in personality aroused Li Hengsheng’s suspicion.

Secondly, in a previous letter testing Li Hengsheng, he mentioned the child’s mother. Li Hengsheng had never seen his mother and knew nothing about her, indicating that the previous Li Changqing had never mentioned her either.

So when he brought it up, naturally Li Hengsheng had his doubts.

Thirdly, when writing a letter last time, he mentioned taking him for shrimp and egg vermicelli rolls when he returned.

Not even knowing that Li Hengsheng doesn’t eat shrimp further fueled Li Hengsheng’s suspicion, which is why Li Hengsheng sent this probing letter.

"Can’t guard against everything," Li Changqing reflected on the situation, contemplating for a long time, and realizing that he needed to be more vigilant.

He had previously thought of this son as naïve and innocent, but it turns out he was quite shrewd.

He decided that in future letters, he must examine the content more meticulously for any flaws, and also gather more intelligence from Lu Qiaoqiao to counter Li Hengsheng.

Li Changqing hadn’t expected that the father-son game of wits would begin now.

Having lost the urge to sleep, he got up and wrote another letter, this time being very cautious, deliberating over it repeatedly to ensure there was nothing unreasonable before mailing it out at dawn.

Two days later, the entire Yan family was enveloped in a wave of True Essence.

Yan Botao had entered the Innate Realm!

"That was rather quick," Li Changqing remarked as he went directly to where Yan Botao was in seclusion, just in time for Yan Botao to emerge.

At this moment, his True Essence was surging, his face flushed, with an aura that seemed to leak uncontrollably.

Yet, to Li Changqing, this aura was merely a gentle breeze.

"Congratulations, Clan Leader Yan," Li Changqing smiled and said.

"Thank you, Grand Patron!" Yan Botao was extremely excited, knowing that without the wooden carving Li Changqing gifted him, he might have never had the chance to step into the Innate Realm. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

After stepping into the Innate Realm, Yan Botao felt the entire world had changed.

A newfound sense of powerful confidence!

The difference between Postnatal Peak and Innate Realm was truly like the sky and the earth!

Yet one thing remained the same, and that was Li Changqing.

In Yan Botao’s eyes, Li Changqing still seemed boundless.

No matter how strong he became, Li Changqing resembled an unreachable mountain.

A presence he simply couldn’t touch.

"Since you’ve entered the Innate Realm, we can proceed with our plan," Li Changqing said casually.

Yan Botao’s expression grew serious.

"Yes, I will make the arrangements!"

The matter of Yan Botao stepping into the Innate Realm was not publicly announced.

Only a few elders within the Yan family were aware.

The elders were thrilled, as the Yan family finally produced someone in the Innate Realm, elevating them to a powerful clan.

Meanwhile, in Changting Town, on that afternoon, all major family clans received an invitation.

The birthday of Yan Yushi, the son of the Yan Clan Leader.

Inviting clan leaders from all major families to attend.

When receiving the invitation, everyone frowned.

"What is the Yan family planning?" Zhao Yiqiu, usually the most contemplative, felt a sense of foreboding upon seeing the invitation.

He felt that the Yan family was about to reveal their ambitious intentions.
