Chapter 31: Kun Pengs Six Variants (1) (2/2)

“It is not a big deal.” Li Qiye calmly answered.

Seeing Li Qiye’s nonchalant disposition, Nan Huairen paused for a second and then voiced his concern:

“Senior, from what I’ve gathered while listening to the Sect Master, second brother is returning to the sect.” He hesitantly added: “Second brother is the Sect Master’s disciple.”

When ‘second brother’ was mentioned, Nan Huairen’s eyes were a little strange.  He remained silent afterwards.

“Second brother?” Li Qiye noticed the strange gaze of Nan Huairen so he inquired.

Nan Huairen scratched his head and said: “Senior, to tell you the truth, I don’t know how to explain it.  Once you meet second brother, you will understand.”

Finally, he added another sentence. “Second brother’s circ.u.mstances are a bit special.”

Li Qiye only smiled and did not interrogate.  This matter, to him, was not very important.  He couldn’t care less about the circ.u.mstances of the second brother.  Ultimately, the second brother could be sent here to teach him or to monitor him; it had nothing to do with Li Qiye.

Li Qiye’s determination to rebuild the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect would not be interrupted by anyone.  Once the time was right, he would reinvigorate the sect.  On this road, no one could stop his footstep.  Anyone who tried to stop him would meet their death.  If Buddha was in the way, slay Buddha; if G.o.d was in the way, slay G.o.d.

That year, under his tutelage, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had swept over the Nine Worlds.  In this life, he would do the same.  His Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect would rule over the Nine Worlds and destroy the Immortal Demon Grotto.

Nan Huairen was already used to Li Qiye’s temperament even when facing the Demon King Lun Ri; thus, he was not surprised by how carefree Li Qiye was about the return of the second brother.

Nan Huairen stared at Li Qiye a little bit, and he suddenly noticed that he had started his cultivation.

Nan Huairen happily exclaimed: “Senior, you had opened your Fate Palace?  How long did it take?”

“Not too long; it only took five days and fight nights.” Li Qiye said slowly.

“Uh…” Nan Huairen was at a loss for words after he heard the answer.  Five days and five nights? You dared to say it wasn’t a long time?  In any sect, if a disciple was to take even three days and three nights to open the Fate Palace, he would be scolded by the seniors as being incompetent; so much so that he wouldn’t be able to raise his head anymore.  For taking five days and five nights, he would be considered trash among trash. If people knew Li Qiye took such a long time, he would become the biggest laughingstock in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.

The worst disciple of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had only taken three days and three nights, yet Li Qiye required five days and fight nights.

However, Nan Huairen could tell from Li Qiye’s expression that he didn’t consider spending five days and five nights as something to be ashamed about.

If other students took that long, their self-esteem would be at an all-time low.  However, Li Qiye didn’t feel inferior or pride from it; it was just another day to him.

Thinking about the deaths of Xu Hui and Protector Hua, Nan Huairen trembled.  A person that was considered idiotic by the world had an unstoppable aura; he possessed a calm and elegant demeanor at all times, and the utmost self-confidence as well as his unshakable willpower that showed through his ability to kill people without any remorse; people like Li Qiye would be the most frightening of existences.

Nan Huairen stopped here with that thought, and he tagged along with Li Qiye to select his treasure.

Once they reached the Ancient Triangular School, Li Qiye and Nan Huairen carried the order to the Weapon Armory.  Here, they saw an extremely large statue standing in the middle.
