Li Qian followed for a distance before deciding to return to the Divine Sword Sect.

Now that Luo Wangfu had retreated, the Divine Sword Sect was at peace.

He could continue his quiet training of ringing the bell.

Just after returning to Chen Bell Platform, Liu Ming greeted him eagerly, asking anxiously, "Senior Brother Li, did we win?"

"We won."

Li Qian nodded.

The rebels had retreated; wasn’t that a victory?

"That’s great."

Liu Ming was overjoyed.

Chirp!

A black hawk dived down from the clouds, its cry piercing and shattering like metal.

As it approached low altitude, the shadow abruptly ascended rapidly, sweeping past the side of the bell tower at high speed.

After circling a few times, Xiao Hei finally landed, and Li Qian casually threw a Feeding Pill and climbed up the bell tower, ready to start his bell-ringing training once the hour arrived.

The clear sound of the bell resonated through the sky above Divine Sword Sect.

At this moment, the Divine Sword Sect plunged into enthusiastic cheers.

The rebels had retreated.

The disproportionate battle was finally no longer necessary.

Several Heavenly Persons hadn’t returned and were still following the enemy on their way back, to prevent any surprise counterattacks from the rebels.

By the time they returned to Divine Sword Sect, it was already noon.

The rebels were indeed retreating relentlessly, heading straight for Xuan State without stopping for a moment.

"Something major must have happened at Luo Wangfu’s side."

Ye Tianren made a prediction.

"It must be so. The rebels are clearly heading back to help... If my guess is correct, Great Moon Pass must have been breached by the Baize Army. I reckon it won’t be long before we receive reports, and we need to be ready to deploy troops to Xing State to suppress the Luo Wangfu rebels."

Chai Tianren nodded and said.

So the training of the Martial Arts Army must continue.

....

Chen Bell Platform.

Liu Ming was practicing his boxing.

Li Qian was pondering over an ancient book Elder Gu had given him.

Suddenly, his master, Zhou Buping, walked up from the foot of the mountain.

When he saw Li Qian seated there well, he was stunned as if he’d seen a ghost, "Li Qian, why are you here?"

"Master, if I’m not here, where else would I be?"

Li Qian, seeing his master return, said with a smile.

"Uh..."

Zhou Buping quickly approached and spoke in a lowered voice, "Didn’t you leave?"

Li Qian, being on the list, meant his master knew about the plan for the continuation of the Daoist lineage.

Logically speaking, Li Qian should have entered Kunwu Road by now.

Why was he still at Chen Bell Platform?

Could it be that they forgot to notify Li Qian?

But that can’t be right; he hasn’t seen Li Qian these past two days.

"Master, as a disciple of Divine Sword Sect, how could I abandon it at this time? I vow to live and die with the Divine Sword Sect."

Li Qian immediately declared.

"You are still too young; it’s good to have courage, but you also need to consider the timing. You can’t be so willful in the future."

Zhou Buping said with a stern face.

"Master, please rest assured, wasn’t everything fine this time?"

Li Qian pointed out.

"This time was just luck... Do you think you can always be this lucky? War is no child’s play; you still have a long path ahead, don’t let your emotions dictate your actions, and think carefully about everything you do."

Zhou Buping snorted coldly.

"Master, let’s not talk about this, let’s have Liu Ming cook some dishes later, and we’ll have a few drinks to celebrate."

Li Qian suggested with a smile.

Zhou Buping felt as if his earlier words were completely ignored by his disciple.

Well, he might understand after suffering a big loss in the future.

After drinking and eating their fill, Zhou Buping had to go to the Divine Sword Hall to report that his disciple hadn’t followed the move, to prevent him from being mistaken for deserting.

Li Qian directly took the backpack from the cellar and handed it to his master to pass it to the Sect Leader.

....

Divine Sword Hall.

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was extremely busy.

Although the battles were over,

the losses experienced by the Divine Sword Sect were substantial.

The accounting of various battle losses, material damages, and much more... there was a lot requiring his attention as Sect Leader.

"What did you say? Li Qian didn’t leave?"

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu paused, hearing what Zhou Buping said, and then snorted coldly, "Nonsense, Elder Zhou, you must seriously reprimand him. We’ll let it slide this time, but next time, there will be no forgiveness. The grand plan of Daoist lineage continuation should not be taken as child’s play."

Although Li Qian stayed to share life and death with the Divine Sword Sect, and his intentions were good, if the Divine Sword Sect were really destroyed, it wouldn’t matter much if ordinary disciples died or lived.

However, for someone elite like Li Qian, surviving could mean a world of difference for the reconstruction of the Divine Sword Sect.

"Sect Leader, I scolded him harshly as soon as I saw him; he now recognizes his fault and has vowed never to act rashly again."

Zhou Buping quickly assured.

Feng Shaoyu nodded, then said, "Since he didn’t leave, I have a task here for him to do as a small punishment."

He pulled out a map and handed it to Zhou Buping, "Let him go to this place and call back the Daoist Seeds who left."

Now that the crisis of Divine Sword Sect was resolved, the fleeing Daoist Seeds naturally should return.

Who should be sent to call them?

Li Qian was the most suitable candidate.

.....

Chen Bell Platform.

Li Qian took the small map handed over by Zhou Buping and was speechless.

This was definitely making him take a trip.
