In the evening, the wind started blowing by the West Lake.

The breeze and night spread at the same time. Under the gloomy sky, the wind ruffled the surface of the lake. The solitary mountain reflected in the clear water rippled and spread, appearing more and more green and dusty.

Gushan is no longer a tourist attraction in West Lake.

After Li Honghe set foot on Gushan with the remaining Li family veterans, Lin'an officials quickly announced that the interior of Gushan would be renovated.

And then there is no more.

The Lin'an Municipal Government reported the Gushan incident to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Government.

The provincial government reports to the cabinet.

The cabinet was silent.

So the provincial government and the city government also fell silent at the same time.

The ticket sales office in Gushan was cancelled, and the surrounding areas were quietly moved out of the West Lake tourist range. The entire Li family began to take root in Gushan in the silence of Zhongzhou's top management.

The top management remains silent so far.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the Li family and Gushan. To this day, no one, including Kunlun City, has expressed any opinion on Li Honghe's occupation of Gushan.

Silence is often the default.

But more often than not, it can also be an excuse.

But it is obvious that as long as Li Honghe is still alive, the senior officials of Zhongzhou will not express any objection to Li's occupation of Gushan.

There are no tourists on Gushan Mountain, and its popularity has been replaced by aura. When Li Tianlan came to the foot of Gushan Mountain, in the vast twilight, the green Gushan Mountain was located in the West Lake. It was hazy, and every plant and tree seemed to have indescribable meanings.

of graceful beauty.

Flowers are blooming on the lonely mountain.

Li Tianlan got off the boat and walked straight along the quiet mountain road.

The lonely mountain is quiet.

Li Tianlan's heart gradually became more relaxed.

Relaxed, yet nervous.

Three years have passed since I first left Li's camp to today.

But Li Tianlan still hasn't made any achievements.

He entered the realm of invincibility in Tiandu, and today he is ranked among the gods, known as the Prodigy of Central Continent.

That is at the expense of one's own martial arts foundation.

He became the Young City Lord of Sigh City because of the friendship between the Li family and Sigh City back then.

The Donghuang Palace was established.

But today's Donghuang Palace is still weak and pitiful.

Li Tianlan suddenly felt timid in his heart.

In three years, he seemed to have done a lot, but also seemed to have done nothing.

He is still in his early stages.

His martial arts and swordsmanship have already achieved some success.

But Li's glory is still dim.

Li Tianlan wanted to tell those uncles and aunts on the mountain who had always been with Li, who had placed all their hopes on him and still persisted. He wanted to tell them that he was doing a good job outside.

But is it really good?

Three years later, everything today...

slow.

After all, it was still too slow.

He felt that what he did was not good.

If you don't do it well, you won't dare to go up the mountain.

In the dusk, his steps gradually slowed down and even became a little heavy.

On the lonely mountain, there is only the sound of the night wind blowing the treetops.

There are no guards on the lonely mountain, and there is no need for guards.

People who are hostile to the Li family will basically not go up the mountain. For those who insist on going up the mountain, it will be useless to put guards in the mountain.

Therefore, the closed Gushan is a cold and lonely path most of the time.

A woman wearing coarse clothes appeared at the end of the path.

The woman's face is very beautiful. Although there are some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the stubbornness and persistence between her eyebrows give her an indescribable look.

At both ends of the road, one goes up and one goes down.

The woman saw Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan also saw her.

The two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the woman who was no longer young.

Her delicate eyebrows subconsciously raised, and her body suddenly gained an indescribable sense of prowess.

Li Tianlan quickened his pace slightly and came to the woman. Before he could speak, the woman had already taken the initiative and said with a smile: "Young master, you are back."

Li Tianlan nodded and called Aunt Qingye.

There were not many women who followed Li Honghe to leave Youzhou, and there were even fewer female dependents. Qingye was both a female dependent and a general of the Li family, and she was a relatively young one. She was Li Guansheng's mother and had experience in raising children.

Therefore, Qingye was taking care of Li Tianlan when he was a baby. Although Li Tianlan was called aunt, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Qingye was his adoptive mother.

Qingye stretched out her hand, subconsciously wanting to touch Li Tianlan's head, but she took it back as soon as she reached halfway.

Her smile seemed to be more beautiful than before: "I just came back last week. I wish you had come a few days earlier."

"I and I will be able to meet each other soon."

Li Tianlan smiled.

He has not seen Li Guansheng since he came back.

But the final exercise between the two houses is about to begin, and Li Guansheng, as Xuanwu, one of the Four Spirits of Zhongzhou, is likely to be present in person.

"Where are you going?"

Li Tianlan asked.

"I'll go down and get some things."

Qingye smiled: "Not long after we came here a few years ago, Yu Donglai and Mr. Yu came here once. He arranged some people in the local area and sent some fruits, vegetables and meat every day. Young Master, we are now

My life is much better than before.”

"Not good enough."

Li Tianlan said in a deep voice.

He looked at the seemingly endless mountain road above and said softly: "How have you been doing in the past few years...?"

"all good."

Qingye was silent for a while before speaking. She was still smiling, but her smile was extremely complicated.

It was an emotion that was both happy and worried. This emotion was so intense that Li Tianlan couldn't determine her joy or sorrow for a while.

"It's just that His Highness is not in good health this year."

Li Tianlan's heart trembled.

Li Honghe's body will become worse and worse as his out-of-control strength increases. This is an unchangeable fact, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

It's only the third year now.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go up first, Auntie, and I'll chat with you later."

Qingye smiled and nodded, passing by Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan took a deep look at her back.

Compared with the beautiful face in her memory, which was full of numbness and despair, Qingye now smiles more. When she mentions her grandfather's body, she will feel sad and anxious, but looking at her back now, Li Tianlan feels

But there is only valor.

Ms. Li regained her emotions.

All emotions combined are hope.

This is Li's current situation.

The best status quo.
