"Perhaps you should be more frank, shouldn't you?" Li Xuanzu began to offer advice.

"Of course I've thought that way, but you don't know, he doesn't have those kinds of feelings for me at all, you don't know..." At this moment, Shen Han lost her usual composure and was more like a little girl confiding her feelings to an elder.

"The way he looks at Xie Ke'er? You're envious, aren't you?" Li Xuanzu said what the other person hadn't finished saying.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han looked shocked, her cherry lips slightly parted in surprise, and then, realizing something was amiss, she covered her mouth with both hands.

"I guessed right again?" Li Xuanzu attributed both guesses to his own.

“I won’t tell you Leng An’s secret for now, nor will I tell anyone else. But what you need to know is Xie Ke’er’s attitude towards Leng An,” Li Xuanzu said.

After pondering for a while, Shen Han recalled Leng An's various acts of care for Xie Ke'er, and then recalled Xie Ke'er's aloof attitude, and her resolve hardened.

"Thank you for telling me all this, Mr. Li!" Shen Han stood up and bowed to Li Xuanzu.

Li Xuanzu waved his hand and left.

As for the relationship between the two.

In Li Xuanzu's view, two people bound together by interests are not as genuine as those who are attracted to each other by lust.

At least, I followed my own heart, didn't I?

Looking back on the first half of his life, and thinking of that beautiful image that still lingered in his mind, Li Xuanzu gave a bitter smile. It's true that lovers in this world are destined to be apart.

He walked a long way and saw Qian Li, who was doing nothing.

She was kicking the stones on the ground.

Qian Li saw Li Xuanzu from afar and walked towards him without saying a word, just following him.

This has long been the norm; if Li Xuanzu doesn't mention it, Qian Li won't ask.

"Aren't you curious about what I said to your sister Shen Han?" Li Xuanzu was in a good mood for no reason.

Qian Li paused, looking at Li Xuanzu with hopeful eyes. Girls love gossip, and that has nothing to do with age.

"Just ask if you want to know, I trust you." Li Xuanzu patted Qian Li's head and gave her a general explanation.

The little girl nodded repeatedly as she listened.

Li Xuanzu was momentarily dazed. Looking at Qian Li like this, he suddenly remembered that she was only twelve years old and should be like this, lively and pursuing what she liked.

Sometimes, Qian Li's behavior really doesn't show that she's a twelve-year-old girl. She knows her limits, doesn't ask what she shouldn't ask, doesn't say what she shouldn't say, and doesn't listen to what she shouldn't listen to.

She would do whatever Li Xuanzu asked her to do, and she never hesitated even when facing a third-level zombie.

Even when there are disagreements with Li Xuanzu and others, they will firmly stand on Li Xuanzu's side.

"Tsk tsk tsk, thank goodness I saved Qian Gang. I've gained a very useful helper. I'm so rich." Li Xuanzu thought to himself.

Qian Li has been a great help to him, so Li Xuanzu will allocate a portion of his resources to Qian Li whenever possible.

However, thinking of this, Li Xuanzu looked at Qian Gang's soul, which was enveloped by his divine sense.

He is still asleep, and it is unlikely that he will remain asleep for at least another year or two.

This is like forcibly bringing a dead person back to life; it's not that simple.

If Li Xuanzu had arrived even a little later, Qian Gang wouldn't have been able to be saved, even as a Tribulation Transcending cultivator with extraordinary abilities.

The matter of life and death is beyond the control of ordinary people. Even cultivators can only prolong their lifespan and eke out a living in this world for a while.

Only by becoming an immortal can one transcend the mortal realm.

Li Xuanzu's goal has always been to become an immortal, and everything he has done has been a stepping stone to that goal.

Yes, everything...
