Li Qingyuan wanted to take Qingqing away and devote every effort to nurturing this younger sister of his. At the very least, he would help her reach the Integrated Body Peak Stage and gain a lifespan of over thirty thousand years.
He would also do everything he could to help her charge toward Mahayana Dao Venerable, becoming a mighty cultivator whose lifespan surpassed a hundred thousand years.
