I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"I had hoped to see Wan'er from a distance before I die. Now that I can't see her anymore, I have no wishes left."

Mu Qianliu's expression became calm.

"Never tell Lingxiu about my existence. Pretend I never existed!"

After saying that, Mu Qianliu turned around to leave.

Meng Shushu's expression was complex, he sighed to himself and said: "Wait a moment."

Mu Qianliu turned back to look at him, puzzled.

"Although I don't know why you ended up like this... Since we've met, take these pills. Recover as much as you can."

Meng Shushu thrust several bottles of pills into Mu Qianliu's hands.

"They might not get you back on top, but they'll definitely help you recover seventy to eighty percent."

Mu Qianliu shook his head, "It's useless, I know my own condition."

"Huh, these are pills refined by Lingxiu. Even if your roots are damaged, even if your Spiritual Body collapses, you can still recover. Your condition is severe, but it's not beyond recovery.

"If Lingxiu personally treated you, your injuries would be nothing. You could return to your peak state in just a few days."

Meng Shushu said with a cold laugh.

"Really?"

Mu Qianliu looked at him with disbelief.

"Of course!"

Meng Shushu said coldly, "Do you want to find Lingxiu for treatment? She has never seen you, she wouldn't know that you're her father."

"No need!"

Mu Qianliu shook his head, packed up the pills, and said, "If I were to see her, it would harm her. It's best that we part ways, with no chance of meeting again."

Meng Shushu fell silent, Mu Qianliu's answer was unexpected. He thought that once Mu Qianliu learned he could fully recover and that Lingxiu could heal him, Mu Qianliu would want to reveal his identity and ask Lingxiu for help.

Mu Qianliu left.

He disappeared into the crowd, never to return.

Meng Shushu didn't know how to feel, he had to admit that his heart softened at the last moment, which is why he gave Mu Qianliu the pills.

He looked at the token in his hand. It was a blue token with some intricate patterns, but apart from that, there was nothing special about it.

"What is this?"

He shook his head, deciding to find an opportunity, an excuse to give it to Lingxiu.

Back at Chang Qing Pavilion, Lingxiu was still chatting with Princess Xiang Wei. Their trip to the Imperial City of Great Zhou was over.

"Ice State, we can't go to Ice State."

Meng Shushu remembered Mu Qianliu's warning and was puzzled. What happened in Ice State?

"Then let's not go."

Meng Shushu thought to himself, Ice State was sparsely populated, there was no need to go. If Lingxiu wanted to go, he would find a reason to dissuade her.

It wasn't that he was afraid of any danger in Ice State, but he was afraid that if they went to Ice State, they would uncover something about Mu Qianliu and his connection with Lingxiu may be revealed.

"Am I doing the right thing?"

Meng Shushu was conflicted.

In the end, Mu Qianliu is Lingxiu's real father, but he didn't want Lingxiu to bear the sadness and anger because of Mu Qianliu's existence.

If Mu Qianliu wasn't such a Don Juan, Meng Shushu would undoubtedly tell Lingxiu the truth.

"Let it be."

Meng Shushu sighed internally. He came to the pavilion on top of Chang Qing Pavilion with the blue token in hand.

"Senior!"

Meng Shushu said with respect.

He knew that the senior would know everything.

"Hmm!"

Li Xuan nodded. He had seen and heard all the things between Meng Shushu and Mu Qianliu.

"Senior, am I right or wrong to do this?"

Meng Shushu couldn't help but ask.

"Right and wrong lie within your heart. Just let it be."

Li Xuan shook his head.

If Lingxiu found out the truth about her father, she would likely be upset. Where would she find the carefree joy she has now to delve into medicine and martial arts?

Since Mu Qianliu chose to step back voluntarily, he obviously didn't want Lingxiu to disrupt her peaceful life because of his appearance.

"Senior, what is this?"

Meng Shushu nodded. If the senior said so, it must be right.

He put the blue token on the table and asked.

"I'll give it to Lingxiu."

Li Xuan glanced at the token, and just said flatly.

As for what it was, how would he know?

He avoided answering, as if telling Meng Shushu, knowing too much as a weakling isn't good.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Meng Shushu didn't ask anymore.

The token would be given to Lingxiu by the senior. That would make her take it more seriously than if he gave it to her.

Otherwise, if he gave it to Lingxiu, she might forget about it one day.

After all, it was the most precious thing to Mu Qianliu. Meng Shushu hoped that Lingxiu could take it seriously.

After Meng Shushu left, Li Xuan picked up the blue token and inspected it carefully. He wondered, what is this?

The material of the token is not simple.

Just judging from the material, it would not lose to a Divine Artifact from the Spirit Realm.

But it was not a Divine Artifact.

The patterns on the token didn't seem to have special meanings, they were just for decoration.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and infused a strand of divine power into the token.

The blue token emitted a faint blue light, and three words appeared on it:

"Heavenly Grotto Token!"

As these three words appeared, Li Xuan also saw a few lines of small characters inside the token:

"Token out, Grotto appears; The bearer of the Heavenly Grotto Token may enter and command the Grotto!"

Li Xuan withdrew his divine power and fell into a deep thought.

"Heavenly Grotto? A secret realm of sorts? Is this the key to enter the Heavenly Grotto, or the token to control it?"
