The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 064

Chapter 064 Liu Clan
Li Qing turned around and saw smoke and dust billowing down the road. A cavalry troop was galloping towards Yunzhou City.

As they got closer, they could see that there were about a hundred cavalrymen with dense scales and an aura that was as imposing as a rainbow. They were all wearing silver battle armor and wore precious sabers on their waist. They were riding white warhorses beneath them, and they turned into a white torrent that charged over with immense power.

Li Qing hurriedly pulled Liu Ke’er away and retreated to the roadside, quietly watching the group of cavalry pass by.

The leader was actually a woman. Due to the helmet covering her face, she could not see her appearance clearly, so she could only judge that she was a young woman.

She turned her head and glanced at Li Qing and Liu Ke’er. She did not care and directly led the team to rush over. Soon, she arrived in front of the city gate.

The guards at the city gate did not stop them and allowed them to enter.

“What gorgeous equipment!” Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh. Although it was just a glance, he could still clearly see that the silver battle armor these people wore was carved with exquisite dragon markings, accompanied by white clouds. It glowed brightly and was extremely beautiful.

“Who are these people? Why didn’t the guards of Cloud Continent City stop them?”

“They should be from the Cloud Dragon Legion.” Liu Ke’er guessed, “The Cloud Dragon Legion is the main force of Cloud Continent City, so naturally the guards will not stop them. As for the armor they wear, it is called the Cloud Dragon Armor. Not only is it gorgeous in appearance, it also has extremely strong defensive capabilities.”

“Of course, its main advantage is that it is very light. A full set of armor weighs no more than a jin, which can greatly reduce the physical energy consumption of warriors. This armor is made from a material called Cloud Devouring Gold. It is very rare, and it has become the most famous in Yunzhou City.”

“Cloud Swallowing Gold? There are really many miraculous things in this world.” Li Qing couldn’t help but be amazed. Going out to train really allowed one to see a lot of things.

“Cloud Swallowing Gold is only produced in Cloud Continent City, because there is a Cloud Swallowing Gold Mine nearby that is occupied by Cloud Continent City. No outsiders are allowed to approach it.” She knew quite a bit. After all, she had lived here for fifteen years.

…

The two of them did not stop and entered Cloud Continent City.

Walking on the wide street, Li Qing asked, “Where is your home?”

“Follow me!” Liu Ke’er held his hand and led the way.

Cloud Continent City had a permanent population of over ten million. How large was this number? The buildings in the city were row after row, as if there was no end to it. Liu Ke’er walked with Li Qing for about two hours. She walked through the city gate to the southern part of the city and finally stopped in front of a large mansion.

“Here we are at last!” Li Qing looked at the Liu Clan mansion in front of him.

The Liu Clan could be considered a famous clan in Yunzhou City, so their place of residence was naturally not small. The wall alone was several zhang tall and several dozen meters long, surrounding a radius of several kilometers, forming a magnificent courtyard.

The two of them arrived at the gate. There were four guards standing in front of the door. When they saw Li Qing and Liu Ke’er, they stretched out their spears to stop them.

“May I know why you two are here?” One of them asked coldly.

Liu Ke’er chuckled and felt that it was quite interesting. It was actually so troublesome to return to her own home. After all, it had been ten years since she left the clan. After such a long time, the guards at the door had changed several times. Naturally, she did not recognize her.

This wasn’t the fault of the guards. She naturally wouldn’t be angry because of this. She lifted her veil and revealed her true appearance. She patiently explained, “I am the eldest young miss of the Liu Clan. I went out to study and return. Now, it’s natural for me to go home.”

“Liu Clan’s eldest young miss?” The guards exchanged glances and revealed expressions of surprise. They had never heard of this before.

“Where did this young miss come from? Could it be that she’s here to cause trouble?” They muttered to themselves. However, seeing that the two of them had extraordinary appearances and emitted a faint powerful aura, they didn’t seem to be lying, so they couldn’t help but hesitate, unable to make a decision.

Especially Liu Ke’er. Her appearance was so beautiful that she was simply like a fairy in the sky. Naturally, what she said was more credible.

Liu Ke’er wasn’t in a hurry either. She said indifferently, “You can go in and report it to my parents and let them know that I’m back. Naturally, they’ll send someone out to see what’s going on.”

“Alright then, just wait here. I’ll go in and report it.” A guard immediately trotted in to report.

After a while, he heard someone’s noise coming from the manor. Then, he saw a middle-aged man with a fair face and a slightly fat body hurriedly walking out. He saw Liu Ke’er with a single glance and said in surprise, “Ke’er, it is indeed you who have returned!”

“Father!” Shouted Liu Ke’er excitedly. Her eyes were filled with tears as she threw herself into his embrace.

The father and daughter hugged each other tightly. Apparently, their relationship was extremely good, and they hadn’t become strangers because Liu Ke’er had been away from home for many years.

“Stop standing here. Let’s go. Let’s talk after we enter.” Father Liu said kindly as he pulled his daughter back.

Li Qing was directly ignored and didn’t get noticed from beginning to end.

“Wait, there’s someone else.” Liu Ke’er pulled her father and pointed at Li Qing.

“Eh, there’s someone else?” Father Liu finally reacted and patted his forehead, “You see how excited I am. I didn’t notice for a moment. Is he your friend?”

A red cloud appeared on Liu Ke’er’s face and she whispered, “This is my fiance.”

“What? Fiance?” Father Liu cried out in disbelief. He turned around and looked at Li Qing. He pointed and repeated, “Is this your fiance?”

“Yes.” Liu Ke’er nodded firmly.

Father Liu’s face darkened. He walked over and looked at Li Qing carefully. He stared at him closely, causing his scalp to go numb.

Li Qing felt a little weak in his heart, so he wanted to say hello, but suddenly he was stuck, because he didn’t know what to call Father Liu.

Father-in-law? Or uncle?

Call him father-in-law. This seems too direct. After all, this is the first time the two sides have met. It’s a bit too abrupt. Call him uncle. It seems that he is too rusty again. His relationship with Liu Ke’er has already been settled. It is not appropriate to call him uncle like this.

However, seeing Father Liu’s black face, Li Qing decided not to frighten him too much. He revealed a harmless smile and said politely, “Hello, Uncle. My name is Li Qing, and I am Grandfather Ke Er’s disciple.”

Grandpa Ke Er’s disciple!

This statement was a bit awkward, but Li Qing could only say so in order to quickly reveal his identity. Because he could not directly address Elder Liu by his name, he could only use this kind of indirect method to express himself.

Sure enough, Father Liu couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard Li Qing say his identity. Then, he reacted. He understood Li Qing’s identity and his expression softened. He said, “So nephew Li is Old Master’s disciple. No wonder he came together with Ke Er.”

“Yes, Li Qing is Grandpa’s disciple. Our marriage has already been approved by him.” Liu Ke’er stood beside Li Qing and explained, “We are happy together. We have experienced many things together and formed a deep relationship. I hope father can help us.”

“Mm. Let’s not talk about this. Let’s go in. Don’t stand outside.” Father Liu did not immediately express his attitude. Instead, he walked back.

The two of them immediately followed.

Walking into the Liu Manor, he saw a straight road in the middle, passing through several gates and reaching a large hall. There were buildings on both sides, countless pavilions and pavilions, as well as flower scenery, trees, and small pools decorated the area, creating a scene of wealth and glory.

Father Liu brought the two of them to the living room. As soon as they took their seats, they heard a noise coming from the door. Then, they walked into a group of people. A middle-aged woman with a kind appearance walked over excitedly and hugged Liu Ke’er.

The two of them cried and told each other how they missed each other. It turned out that this middle-aged woman was Liu Ke’er’s mother.

Not long after, another person came in. There were both men and women, all gathered around Liu Ke’er and greeted each other warmly. Liu Ke’er calmly faced them. She greeted them and talked happily. On the contrary, Li Qing sat by the side, ignoring them. She was a little embarrassed.

Next, people kept coming in. Seventh aunt, eighth aunt. When these guys heard the news of Liu Ke’er’s return, they all rushed over like the wind. They couldn’t help but feel Li Qing’s scalp go numb.

Evidently, Liu Ke’er’s status in the Liu Clan was extraordinary. Everyone had high expectations of her, treating her like a future Elder Liu. Now that they had returned from the Eight Desolate Sect, they all ran over to see what was going on.

It was all thanks to Elder Liu that the Liu Clan was able to enjoy today’s grand occasion. However, Elder Liu was already old, and he didn’t know how many years he could live, so he had to find a new pillar to support him. Liu Ke’er was known as a rare genius in a hundred years. She was a rare talent in the Eight Desolates Sect, and her future achievements were limitless. Naturally, she was the best candidate.

Therefore, everyone ran over to curry favor with Liu Ke’er. The entire Liu Manor was instantly shaken.

Actually, there were also Xiantian experts in the Liu Clan, but they were only able to barely break through by piling up resources. For example, Father Liu had only cultivated to the tenth level of the Houtian realm when he was in his fifties. He was so old, and his body functions had declined. Breaking through to the Xiantian realm would become even more difficult. In the end, he used a large amount of resources to open 120 acupoints and reach the Xiantian realm.

Such a Xiantian had reached the limit of its potential. There was practically no chance of improvement. Moreover, its strength was also weak. It was even weaker than Li Qing. Of course, it was unable to defend the Liu Clan’s enormous inheritance.

“Alright, everyone, stop and catch up. There are still outsiders here.” Father Liu coughed softly and reminded everyone.

“There are still outsiders here?” Only then did everyone react and look at Li Qing, who was sitting beside him.

“Who is this?”

“This is Ke’er’s fiance, Li Qing,” Father Liu said.

“What? Fiance?” Everyone shouted in unison, revealing the same surprised expression. Immediately, countless examining gazes fell on Li Qing.
