As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 598: Chapter 211: The First Day Xi Xi Didn’t Come to the Restaurant, Missing Her, Desire and Fear of the Jade Tower and Cold Immortal Mysterious Temple_3

Xi Xi was squatting under the eaves, brushing her teeth alongside Old Chen.

That toothbrush was made by Li Che.

As soon as Li Che returned, Xi Xi’s nose immediately began to twitch, with her mouth still frothy, she looked up, her eyes sparkling, “Daddy, what a familiar scent!”

“Is the dog here too?!”

Xi Xi instantly guessed where the dish came from.

But her focus was on that lazy, gluttonous Big Black Dog.

Even the dumplings meticulously wrapped by the owner weren’t as tempting as the dog.

“If you practice well and become the Sect Master’s direct disciple, daddy will take you to the owner’s shop to eat and to see the dog,” Li Che said, putting down the dumpling breakfast and ruffling Xi Xi’s hair.

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi’s eyes immediately lit up with an intense fighting spirit!

To see the dog, she must become the Sect Master’s direct disciple!

The motivation of children can sometimes be so inexplicable.

After breakfast, Li Che gave guidance to Xi Xi, Zhang Ya, and Old Chen as they practiced martial arts in the courtyard.

After instructing them for a while, Li Qingshan finally woke up, stretched lazily, and was then caught by Li Che to help with chores.

Li Che was unapologetic, which somewhat irritated Li Qingshan.

Watching Li Che waving goodbye, Li Qingshan realized Li Che was off to play without bringing Cat Face!

Li Qingshan had already heard the news.

Recently, several homicides had occurred in the Outer City of Qianyuan Dao City.

Many second and third-rate gangs were wiped out, and those gang members turned out to be evil people from the Corpse God Cult!

Li Qingshan guessed almost immediately who was responsible.

True to form, the Bull Demon always had an abhorrence for evil.

Li Qingshan shook his head with a wry smile.

“I too should step up my effort to reach the level of a Great Grandmaster… then I could keep pace with the main force!”

Li Qingshan was also fired up.

His Eight Flood Dragons Overturning the Rivers technique was about to reach Master Level, and once he condenses the Grandmaster’s True Intent, he could aim for Great Grandmaster.

Then, he could exchange it with the Divine Sect for the top-level Martial Saint’s ultimate technique, the Eight Heavenly Dragons Sky-Lifting Hammer!

His Cat Face…

Would no longer be the tailender in the Underworld!

…

…

Li Che put on the robe of the Second-rank Astronomical Observatory’s Guest Official.

He then arrived at the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building located under the white jade arch bridge that spanned the city’s great river.

Shangguan Qinghong had already become familiar with the Observatory’s operations under Sang Yu’s guidance, so Sang Yu ended up being hands-off, leaving everything to Shangguan Qinghong.

The first floor of the hall was incredibly spacious, and Shangguan Qinghong was cleaning the dust in the hall with a Cleaning Divine Talisman, activated by Divinity, making sure the displayed goods remained dust-free.

Other newly appointed administrators at the Qintian Observatory were working alongside Shangguan Qinghong.

The Observatory’s ranks were divided by duty, which were Chief Supervisor, Deputy Inspector, Minor Supervisor, Imperial Celestial Deputy, and administrator.

Shangguan Qinghong had climbed to the position of Imperial Celestial Deputy in the Golden Light Prefecture City’s Qintian Observatory.

But she had to start again as an administrator in Dao City.

Li Che, as a Second-Class Guest Official, was comparable to a Minor Supervisor in Dao City’s Qintian Observatory.

“Che!”

Shangguan Qinghong, upon seeing Li Che, immediately waved with excitement.

The other administrators doing cleaning with her cast curious glances, then seeing the robe of the Second-Class Guest Official on Li Che, were astonished.

Li Che waved back at Shangguan Qinghong, and they chatted for a moment.

“Could you call Deputy Inspector Lu Yao for me?”

Li Che said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qinghong immediately went upstairs with a trot.

Shortly after, Lu Yao came down the stairs with Shangguan Qinghong, followed by Tang Ren, whose aura had significantly expanded.

“You broke through?”

Li Che looked at Tang Ren with slight surprise.

“Yeah, why not break through? The Golden Light Prefecture City’s Temple God Resonance event has ended, and it was time for him to break through. He’s preparing to see if he can have the dumb luck to be taken as a direct disciple by the Sect Master,” Lu Yao scoffed.

Clearly, Lu Yao was quite resentful of Tang Ren’s lack of gains at the Temple God Resonance event.

Li Che just smiled and said no more.

But he took note to find an opportunity for Xi Xi to make a breakthrough.

Moreover, if Xi Xi could forge her Divine Foundation, she would be more competitive in the upcoming assessments for direct discipleship under the Sect Master.

Although Jiao Shaoqiu had mentioned that the assessments for the Sect Master’s direct disciples didn’t focus much on cultivation and combat power but rather on fate,

Who would believe that?

Stronger strength always gave one a greater sense of confidence.

Li Che didn’t dawdle, confiding his purpose to Lu Yao.

“Do you want to visit the Strange Temple to observe the Temple God?”

“It seems so, you’re trying to take the Elder’s assessment at the Divine Carving Ridge? Indeed, you need to observe more Temple Gods to improve your wood carving skills.”

Lu Yao nodded.

“Dao City is different from Golden Light Mansion City. We have a lot of Guest Officials who often proceed to the Strange Temples to observe the Temple Gods.”

“If you want to go, I can arrange it for you.”

“As a Second-Class Guest Official, you can enter up to the Six Divisions Strange Temple, but given your low cultivation, you can only go to the Qi Yuan Mysterious Temple…”

Lu Yao said with a smile.

In Dao City, there were a total of ten Six Divisions Strange Temples, and even more Qi Yuan and Eight Extremes Guaiyi Temples.

However, all were under the jurisdiction of the Temple Control Bureau, and ordinary people couldn’t easily venture into the Strange Temples.

Even martial artists with some cultivation couldn’t easily enter, requiring an application.

Li Che’s gaze flickered as he considered. The Fire-Eye Mystical Awe Spirit Monkey Temple God he intended to summon for his Divine Foundation was an Eight Extremes rank Temple God.

Qi Yuan Mysterious Temple would be sufficient.

The higher-ranked Six Divisions Strange Temple, Li Che dared not easily use Summoning Gods…
