In the evening, Li Xuan had someone push the cart over to Dushan Temple.
The old housekeeper had prepared ample supplies, so much so that they had a surplus even after their city-wide donation. As such, Li Xuan chose to contribute a portion of them, purchased some wooden toys for the children, and brought over some meat as well.
Upon entering the temple, he saw the young Yue Qianqian sweeping the front yard of the Taoist temple. Upon seeing him, she looked surprised, followed by a hint of brightness appearing in her eyes.
“Does Mr. Youjiao also come to take care of the children here?”
Li Xuan thought for a while before nodding, “I suppose so.”
He had not originally planned to do so and intended to just hand over the supplies and leave. However, observing the hopeful look of the girl before him, Li Xuan decided to go with the flow.
Taking care of children was no easy task, but the children of the nine fishing family clans were remarkably obedient following their traumatic experiences. Besides, Li Xuan had plenty of experience volunteering during his university years, and was surprisingly more skilled and efficient at it than Yue Qianqian.
After they had successfully put all the children to bed, Yue Qianqian looked at him with a peculiar look once again, “Just as I thought, you can’t fully trust rumors. Only after really interacting with you did I realize that the Mr. Youjiao I had in my mind was quite different from you.”
Li Xuan roughly knew how he was perceived by Yue Qianqian in the past, but he still asked with a smile, “Could you elaborate on that? What kind of impression did I leave on you previously?”
“You were lazy, reckless and quite lustful. While undergoing training in the hall, I heard that you frequented the brothel. When you spoke to others, it was always about women, talking about which places were more entertaining, or about vulgar topics.”
Yue Qianqian’s pretty face turned slightly red, stuttering as she let the words out, her voice hardly above a whisper as if she was embarrassed to say them out loud, “My sister told me to stay away from you. Ideally, as far away as this.”
She pointed at the main entrance and then at the Sanqing Temple.
Li Xuan realized that was why she reacted that way when he encountered her in the library. It made him wonder if his previous self had done something extremely inappropriate to her.
“Tch! I was identified by General Tingtian himself as a gentleman without flaws!”
Li Xuan seemed discontent, but when he saw Yue Qianqian looking at him disbelievingly, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Well, no matter. I admit I was indeed quite irresponsible. Even now, when I look back at those things, I wish I could smack myself.”
Recalling something, he pulled a silver hairpin from his sleeve and handed it over, “I have a favor to ask. I initially planned on discussing it at work, but it seems this is the opportune moment.”
It was the hairpin he and Jiang Hanyun had found in the underground Dark River.
The case of the Jiangjun Mountain Blood Ritual has already been resolved, and the owner of the hairpin may not be related to the case. However, as the case was related to the red-clothed female spirit, and Li Xuan himself being slightly obsessive-compulsive, he still decided to see it through.
So, yesterday afternoon, he went over to the Jiaofang Division. Surprisingly, there were no registered prostitutes with the last name ‘Lu’ in the last decade.
The only person he could rely on at the moment was Yue Qianqian, who possessed the knowledge of everything.

By the time he had finished washing the clothes for the children, it was late at night. Li Xuan looked at the sky and decided not to return to his mansion, and instead decided to stay over at the Dushan Temple.
The benefit of staying was that his cultivation routine would not be disrupted. Just as the previous nights, he started his practice by using a ‘Liudao Renyuan Elixir’, followed by the cycle of vitality and inner cultivation.
It’s worth noting that the reward promised by Li Chengji while washing the Dragon King’s body at Dongting Lake arrived two days ago. It was a ‘Thrice-Refined Essence Pill’ from the northern Quanzhen Sect, which had similar effects as the ‘Liudao Renyuan Elixir’.
However, Li Xuan thought he should slow down. He woke up and looked in the mirror, he found his eyes to be so intense as if they were laser lights.
This was a result of having taken too many strong supplements lately. Over the past few days, in addition to one ‘Five Thunder God Pill’ and three ‘Liudao Renyuan Elixirs’, his mother Mrs. Liu had also given him some additional restorative medicines.
This caused an ‘air leak’ inside him, with his Zhenyuan expanding and not being fully controlled, thus dissipating outward.
In addition, there was a side effect. Over the past few days, Li Xuan had been having romantic thoughts at night, constantly pondering over the female ghost next to him, and he was trying hard to seal his Qilinbi, which he had been practicing for ten years.
He suspected that this female ghost had already gained consciousness. If he were to actually do it, he would most likely end up embarrassing himself.

Therefore, when he got up in the morning, not only did Li Xuan take a cold shower for himself, but he also performed an additional two rounds of Cold Breath Fierce Palm.
But then he just stared blankly at a rock that he had frozen with his cold palm, lost in thought.
Li Xuan felt that there was something extra in his Cold Power, so much so that the internal structure of this rock was destroyed by his cold palm.
——This had never happened before.
Speaking of which, he had felt this way during his practice last night. His Ice Style vitality no longer seemed pure, but it had become more domineering and even colder.
“Master Youjiao, we’ll be late if we don’t leave now.” Yue Qianqian, who also stayed the night, walked over and curiously asked, “Is there a problem with this stone?”
Then it seemed she noticed something, her brows furrowed, “This is… Yinsha?”
Merging Sha power with Cold Power was quite common. After all, the Cold Power of the Earl Chengyi lineage also contained Yinsha, which allowed them to compete with different types of fire and thunder.
But what Yue Qianqian recognized was that the Yinsha carried by Li Xuan’s palm was extraordinarily powerful, domineering, and pure!
“I never intentionally cultivated it. This must be related to my Guardian Spirit.” Li Xuan answered thoughtfully, “I encountered the Demoness Zidie yesterday, and this Guardian Spirit probably involuntarily defended its master and confronted the demoness for a moment. At that time, the demoness said it was The Frozen Cold.”
“The Frozen Cold? Did she really say that?”
Yue Qianqian was taken aback again, then exhaled a murky breath with a complex expression. “The Frozen Cold is the ultimate product of the combination of the highest level of the Nine Quiets Yinsha and Cold Power. Your Guardian Spirit is newly born, and it can already master such powerful Cold Power. I don’t know what kind of creature it is.”
She wished she could see it for herself, but then Yue Qianqian laughed again: “I guess it must be your true vitality, Master Youjiao, interacting with your Guardian Spirit. This is a good thing as well as a lucky chance for you since it will eventually make your Cold Power a real ‘Frozen Cold’. If in the future you can finally get rid of its invasion of Sha power, just this Cold Power alone would make you one of the top figures in the world. And your Guardian Spirit has only been born for a few days? This ‘Frozen Cold’ is definitely going to evolve in the future.”
Li Xuan sighed, “What you said sounds wonderful, but I really don’t know if I can live up to that time.”
However, this was indeed a good thing. Li Xuan felt excited, proud, and eager. On his way to Zhuque Hall, he thought it would be great if Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue were also arrested today, and he could show off his divine skills and test the power of this cold Sha.
Unfortunately, when Li Xuan arrived at Zhuque Hall, he found that his two best friends had all come to work, and surprisingly they had arrived earlier than he had.
Not long after Li Xuan arrived at Zhuque Hall, he saw Lady Jiang, the mother of Jiang Hanyun, carrying a pot filled with fragrant soup and walking into their courtyard.
Ma Chenggong happened to be in the yard giving assignments to Li Xuan’s group. When he smelled the soup, he was both stunned and delighted, “This soup smells so good. I can smell tiger meat. How can we allow Lady Jiang to cook for us rough men …”
The result was that Lady Jiang slapped Ma Chenggong’s hand away and placed the soup pot in front of Li Xuan with a cheerful smile.
“Qianzhi, Mrs. specially made this tiger soup for you. You should eat it while it’s hot. Your uncle killed a hundred-year-old tiger in Zhenjiang yesterday. He brought back the tiger pill and meat. You’ve been working hard on your martial arts recently, haven’t you? I thought it would be nice to boost your energy. Hanyun ate lots of this when she was building her foundation and practicing martial arts.”
At this time, everyone in the courtyard, including Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue, were all stunned speechless.
A few breaths later, an angry and embarrassed Jiang Hanyun walked in and shouted, “Mother! What are you doing?”
