Nan Huairen was praying with all of his heart that this prime disciple could spare him from further embarrassment. Who knew what other things he would do if the trip was to be continued.
Seeing the poor facial expression of Nan Huairen that was like a dead puppy, Li Qiye chuckled and nodded his head in agreement.
“Your mother!”
A disciple couldn’t help but yell out after seeing Li Qiye’s devilish grin.
“The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect is a third rate sect. A toad wants to eat the meat of a swan? Pah! A black dumb turtle has the nerves to court our senior.”
Seeing that someone was challenging him directly, Li Qiye slowly turned around and said:
“Court your senior? Don’t think too highly of yourselves. Even if either a heavenly angel or godly fairies wanted to marry me, they would have to pray for my acceptance. Your senior? It is a long line until it is her turn.
“Your mother, you are tiring of living…”
All of the male disciples were having an uproar after hearing those shameless words.
“Calm down, calm down, everyone should value peace and prosperity!”
The current situation chilled Nan Huairen down to his spine; he immediately took Li Qiye and left. He could not leave this crazy guy outside for a second longer.
After reaching their guest house safely, Nan Huairen cried:
“Honorable Senior, please! This isn’t a place where we can say and do whatever we wish. Take a step back and appreciate the high sky and deep sea. Please keep yourself under control.”
“Hold back?”
Li Qiye nonchalantly proclaimed:
“A general shall stop an incoming army, a dam will deter the incoming current!”1
Nan Huairen froze; taking care of someone like Li Qiye was akin to finding trouble for oneself. He was truly regretting taking this mission to go to the Nine Saint Demon Gate.
***
After the events at the battle stage, many of the Nine Heaven Demon Gate disciples were outraged. Du Yuanguang was one of those who truly wanted to kill Li Qiye. He was an outer disciple, but his innate talents were above average; thus, many referred to him as the “Little Genius”. He had only joined the sect for five years, but he already reached the pinnacle stage of Provisional Palace. As long as he could successfully pass this year’s examination, he could become an inner disciple.
Du Yuanguang had a strong crush for Li Shuangyan. During his entrance examination to the sect, she was one of the main organizers. When he saw her for the first time, he was smitten. He also thought that she recognized his skills and talents since she accepted him.
He had great confidence in his ability and wished for her to become his Dao partner. Li Qiye being there, naturally, became a thorn in his eyes.
“This mortal does not know his own limits. If I don’t teach him a little lesson, he would continue to think he is above the heaven and earth.”
Du Yuanguang’s eyes revealed his killing intent as he screamed out loud.
