Chapter 26: Heavenly Crow Peak (2) (2/2)
“Over here is the Scripture Library, that one is the Weapon Armory, and over there is the Treasure House. These three paG.o.das of the triangular building are divided into three sections, each for techniques, weapons, and treasures.” After entering the building, Nan Huairen explained: ”Each paG.o.da will have an a.s.signed protector. Any student who wants an item would have to pa.s.s through the protector’s inspection.”
Here, he asked Li Qiye: “Where does Senior want to go first?”
“Let us start at the Scripture Library.” Li Qiye quickly glanced over the three paG.o.das and made his decision.
There were eight inner disciples protecting the Scripture Library alongside a protector. Once Nan Huairen and Li Qiye showed them the Elder’s order, they were immediately allowed to enter.
Then, came the indescribable feeling that arose from entering the majestic library. Inside, one couldn’t see the end of the sections. The incomparable vastness of this library was tantamount to the old glory days of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
There were quite a few disciples present that were searching for suitable techniques. Nan Huairen was a social person, thus he went to make conversations with each of the disciples.
Li Qiye was different; he was new, and the disciples here didn’t like him in the first place. Even though the sect had fallen, it was still of Immortal Emperor lineage; it was not normal for a mortal to be accepted into the sect, let alone becoming the Prime Disciple.
The more outrageous thing was that he was considered to be a piece of trash with a Mortal Physique, a Mortal Life Wheel, and a Mortal Fate Palace. The Prime Disciple should be the strongest of all and respected by his peers. This position was coveted by many, who had spent their time and talents contributing to the sect. However, they were not chosen by the Sect Master. This, rightfully infuriated the disciples; to see someone so undeserving to occupy the position.
Even though they didn’t dare to question the Elder’s decision, they were definitely not going to be courteous to Li Qiye.
“That person is Li Qiye.” A disciple looked at Li Qiye from top to bottom; it was as if he was looking at a monster. In reality, many people wanted to steal the Cleansing Incense Ancient Order, even within the sect, but no one had ever been successful. However, all of a sudden, that old man decided to give such a treasure to Li Qiye; no one could make heads or tails out of this.
“That’s him. I heard he invited Old Devil to the brothel for ten days and ten nights.” A disciple presumptuously added.
A disciple acted as if he knew more about this situation and shook his head: “You are incorrect; it wasn’t just ten days and ten nights. He bought the old man a pair of twins who were still virgins that had only recently joined the brothel. He bought them for the next three years to service the old man; this was why that perverted geezer agreed to give him the Order.”
Some stories slowly became more and more embellished. One person even said that Li Qiye paid the brothel to service Old Devil for the next ten years; which allowed him to do whatever deeds he wanted to do. Although there were minor differences, the main points of the topics all revolved around Li Qiye using an underhanded method to fool Old Devil for the sake of obtaining the order.
