Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 301-Chapter 400)

Hua Chengzan raised his head and saw a huge ship cut through the clouds, descending from the sky. When he made out the symbol on the ship, his eyes lit up, and he ordered in a hurry, “Activate the formations!”


“Qiongzhi, look who’s come.” Hua Chengzan brought over a short, unattractive young man. He was dressed like a scholar, but he gave off no sense of grace at all. As he stood beside Hua Chengzan, he immediately made Li Qingshan think about Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing.

TL: If you remember from Chapter 2, there was a reference to a character called Pan Jinlin from Water Margin. She’s the treacherous wife of Wu Dalang, and she commits adultery against him with Ximen Qing. Wu Dalang is known for his short stature and unimpressive appearance, while Ximen Qing is a merchant with a pretty face. You should be able to see the comparison here.

However, no one dared to look down on this “Wu Dalang”, as he had already reached Foundation Establishment.

“Shancheng, you’ve come back from the Pine Sough academy.” Han Qiongzhi beamed; she was also surprised.





Chapter 393: Before the Storm | Legend of the Great Sage




Jiang Shancheng chuckled, but he was unable to hide his haughtiness. Among his friends, his background had been the worst. His talent had not been spectacular either, but he happened to make it into the Pine Sough academy and reach Foundation Establishment first. He had specially borrowed this Soaring Dragon ship from his master for his return this time. Now that he saw his old friends again, it was time for him to show off.

Just Hua Chenglu’s stunned expression at the entrance had brought him great joy. This little girl had actually become so beautiful since he saw her a few years ago. When he saw Han Qiongzhi again, his eyes even lit up. No different from before, she stood gracefully and confidently, except her slight masculinity of the past had been replaced by the charm of a mature woman.

“Little Hua has established a foundation, so of course I have to come back and take a look. Where’s Tieyi?” Jiang Shancheng’s thoughts returned to the past. Back then, he would often be looked down upon when he played around with his friends. Only the three of them never despised him. She had even shown him great encouragement.

Hua Chengzan said, “You know, Tieyi hates something like this the most.”

“Who’s this?” Jiang Shancheng shifted his gaze and saw Li Qingshan standing together with Han Qiongzhi. He seemed very close with her, so he frowned.

“This is Li Qingshan, the primary disciple of the school of Novels and Qiongzhi’s man.” Hua Chengzan introduced him with a smile.

“What?” Jiang Shancheng saw Han Qiongzhi redden slightly, but she did not object. His heart sank. “Qiongzhi, y- you’re already married? Why didn’t you let me know?”

Hua Chengzan said, “It’s not just you. She didn’t let any of us know.”

“What’s this all about?”

“Big brother Mountain Boar, you don’t know, but…” Hua Chenglu giggled as she told him the whole story. Where’s your haughtiness now, you big mountain boar? You’re just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, that’s all. You’re nowhere close to stealing big sister Han’s heart.

“Mountain Boar” was Jiang Shancheng’s nickname in the past. Hua Chenglu had always despised Jiang Shancheng in the past. She found him to be jittery and constantly sunken-faced, and now, he acted haughtily like this. Hua Chengzan might have been able to ignore it, but she was unable to accept it. If it weren’t for you filling the spot in my brother’s place, would you still have been able to join the Pine Sough academy?

“Y- you’ve already!”

Even with Jiang Shancheng’s cultivation that had reached a point where he could control his vitality, his face still became flushed in an instant. It was like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, feeling complete disbelief. Originally, he wanted to return home with his successes and fulfill his dream of strutting around proudly, but his past dream lover had already become someone else’s woman.

“You log, why aren’t you speaking? This is my friend, Jiang Shancheng!” Han Qiongzhi’s face reddened slightly, making her seem even more charming as she bumped Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan remained silent with a smile. He could tell with a single glance what Jiang Shancheng was thinking. Kid, you’re too late. I might not be a Ximen Qing, but with my stature, I’m a Wu Erlang at the very least. I’m way better than you. He clasped his hands.

TL: Wu Dalang’s younger brother is Wu Erlang, or more commonly known as Wu Song. He’s known for killing a tiger with his bare hands, so in other words, he is known for his strength. You should be able to see the comparison to Li Qingshan here.

“Greetings to fellow Jiang. I’ll definitely have uncle Han approve of this marriage and hold a grand wedding with Qiongzhi. I’ll definitely let everyone know by then. I do hope you can attend when it happens.”

“Qiongzhi, isn’t your judgement lacking a little? This guy’s cultivation is so low. It’s no surprise that uncle Han wouldn’t approve of the marriage. What school is he the primary disciple of again? The school of Novels? I’ve never heard of it! It sounds like any random person could join them and become their primary disciple!”

Jiang Shancheng’s expression became even uglier. He was just a measly eighth layer Qi Practitioner, and he was speaking to him in such a manner. Do you really think you’re on equal footing with me just because you’re on good terms with Qiongzhi? In particular, Jiang Shancheng found his aura like he had defeated him or something to be even more irritable. I could kill ten people like you with a flick of my hand.

“Jiang Shancheng, what’re you blabbering about?” Before Li Qingshan could say anything, Han Qiongzhi’s face changed, and she barked, “I don’t need you commenting about who I like! Qingshan, let’s go!” She pulled Li Qingshan with her and travelled away, but Li Qingshan refused to budge. She became worried. He was not a man who would let others make fun of him.

Li Qingshan snickered as he said, “Any random person could, just not a mountain boar. You better go back and check yourself in the mirror. You’ve destroyed my appetite just by standing there!”

Jiang Shancheng was furious. Li Qingshan’s face merged with the countless mocking faces in his head. He was about to attack him, but Hua Chengzan stopped him and pulled him upstairs.

“Chengzan, let go of me!” “Today is my celebration, so just do it for my sake. If you hurt him, Qiongzhi really will resent you.”

Jiang Shancheng shot Li Qingshan a vicious glance as his killing intent bubbled. If he had the chance, he would definitely make this kid suffer a horrible death. Li Qingshan seemed to recover his silent smile too. There’s no need for me to stoop to the level of a person with one foot in the grave.



Han Qiongzhi was irritated. “Will you die if you held that in?”

“I will.”

“Can you be a little more mature?”

“I can’t.” Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow. I’m an eighteen year old boy. I’m in the prime of my youth and immaturity.

“Were you jealous?” Han Qiongzhi rebutted and studied his expression in interest.

“Hah, just from that mountain boar?” Li Qingshan said disdainfully.

“He’s still my friend. Can’t you be a little more polite to him? He hates it when others call him that.”

“It’s not like I called him that first. Nobody would want to be friends with him!”

“So you’re calling me a nobody? You really are jealous. Whatever, I can understand, you stingy man.”

“If I found another woman to call you ugly and to label you as unworthy of me, you wouldn’t be happy either!”

“Can you find one?” Han Qiongzhi said disdainfully.

“Chenglu, it’ll all be up to you now.”

Hua Chenglu had been following the two of them. She happened to be amused by their bickering when she was caught off-guard by Li Qingshan turning around and giving her a glance that seemed to say, “I’ll leave this heavy responsibility to you”.
