Chapter 59: Conspiracy (1) (1/2)
“Lonely Peak was a.s.signed by the elders as the living quarters for First Brother.” Nan Huairen spoke up against the injustice towards Li Qiye.
Hearing Nan Huairen’s words, Leng s.h.i.+zhi shot out a cold glare at him, and he coldly said: “At this moment, I am rea.s.signing the Lonely Peak, you have something to say?”
Here, Leng s.h.i.+zhi paused for a moment, and then he continued: “Nan Huairen, in the sect, you are somewhat considered an intelligent man. Don’t spend your days sticking together with this bag of straws; this is akin to destroying your own future! If you follow a piece of trash like him, you, at the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, will not achieve even a half step forward!”
These words of Leng s.h.i.+zhi; they weren’t just to simply sneer at Nan Huairen, but they were also there to threaten him!
Nan Huairen was one who understood that long sleeves helped one dance beautifully; he was smooth and slick at establis.h.i.+ng social relations, so how could he not understand the overtone? Following who, Nan Huairen’s heart already had its own ideas. Regarding Leng s.h.i.+zhi’s words, Nan Huairen said in a grave manner without hesitation: “Senior doesn’t need to worry about this. First Brother is the outstanding talent of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. I will be like the heavenly thunder; where he commands, I will strike there!”
“Willing to fall from grace?!” Nan Huairen, in front of him, denied his request, so Leng s.h.i.+zhi coldly scowled.
Li Qiye did not care for these political dealings; he only stared at Leng s.h.i.+zhi, and he said: “For the sect’s comradery, I will give you one chance. Do a good job at fixing the little courtyard; otherwise, tomorrow, you wouldn’t be able to stand up even if you wanted to!”
Li Qiye saying this caused Leng s.h.i.+zhi’s eyes to exert coldness, his killing intent became higher. He coldly smiled once, and then he said: “You don’t know the immensity of the heaven and earth! Do you truly think you are the first brother of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect? I dare you to say this to my face! Hmph, with just you and these bunch of sc.r.a.p metal in front, yet you still dare to say arrogant things! A group of clowns has the qualifications to be my enemies?”
Leng s.h.i.+zhi’s words immediately made the hearts of Xu Pei’s group angry. These words of Leng s.h.i.+zhi had not only dishonored Li Qiye, but it also dishonored them as well.
Facing a Leng s.h.i.+zhi that did not know the correct boundaries, Li Qiye was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and left.
“So? Weren’t you spouting arrogant words earlier? Saying that I wouldn’t be able to stand up tomorrow? Currently, why are you trying to flee now? Being a coward even before the battle begins, yet a bag of straws like you still dared to jump around in front of me…” Seeing Li Qiye’s turning around, Leng s.h.i.+zhi coldly laughed as he said this.
Li Qiye essentially didn’t want to waste too many words with Leng s.h.i.+zhi. He only went to the front of Li Shuangyan’s pavilion, and he commanded her: “Beat him down from the peak; beat him until his father and mother can’t recognize him anymore. If he doesn’t want to repair my courtyard, cut off his third leg as well for me!”
“Ha ha, ha ha…” Li Qiye’s sudden command to Li Shuang Ya made Leng s.h.i.+zhi act as if he had heard the funniest story in the world. He laughed until his body was arched; he pointed at Li Qiye with tears in his eyes, and he said: “Who do you think you are? Do you think you are the Demon King? Or a Mortal King? You are only a bag of straws, yet you still dare to be arrogant and bossy towards G.o.ddess Li? G.o.ddess Li, this idiot, I will discipline him for yo—”
However, before Leng s.h.i.+zhi could finish his sentence, Li Shuangyan had stood up, looked at him as if she was looking at an idiot, and she coldly said: “I will give you one opportunity to make a move.”
Suddenly, Leng s.h.i.+zhi’s smile was frozen in the same place. His expression was even more exaggerated than when one would eat s.h.i.+t. His whole body was frozen, and he couldn’t have any other expression.
“Bang!” During the moment when Leng s.h.i.+zhi was still in a daze, Li Shuangyan, with one kick, made him fly outside of Lonely Peak. Afterward, an agonizing scream from below Lonely Peak echoed; without a doubt, Li Shuangyan used an appropriate force.
At this point, the disciples that had destroyed the courtyard were standing still. Li Shuangyan taught Leng s.h.i.+zhi a lesson; in the blink of an eye, she had already beaten him till he screamed! This scene shattered the other disciples’ courage.
Even Xu Pei's group — the disciples from the Cleansing Jade Peak, couldn’t help but look at each other. Even though in the recent days, Li Shuangyan had always been by Li Qiye’s side; however, they rarely talked to each other. From the group’s understandings, Li Shuangyan staying was because the two sects had a marital pact, so she had to stay with the first brother.
However, they didn’t expect that the heaven’s proud daughter, G.o.ddess Li, princess of the Old Ox country reigning over tens of thousands of people, would listen to their first brother. If this matter was to be spread, others would find it hard to believe. [1]
What was the Nine Saint Demon Gate, what was the current Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect? Right now, Li Shuangyan’s status was high beyond imagination. Even the elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect didn’t have the qualification to compare to her; such a grand unreachable character, yet she still listened to their first brother – this matter was too impossible to think about.
After Li Shuangyan taught Leng s.h.i.+zhi a lesson, like the most loyal hound of Li Qiye, Nan Huairen coldly smiled, stared at the disciples who destroyed the courtyard and said: “You still haven’t rolled out? Maybe you are waiting for us to take care of you all as well? Hmph, we’re all disciples of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect; you shouldn’t cross the boundaries. Don’t think that you hugging the legs of Elder Cao means that you could ignore the laws”
“… First Brother’s heavenly aura is something that you guys could provoke? Hmph, such narrow-mindedness, even for the Demon King, First Brother would still be an esteemed guest! Don’t think that you could challenge big brother just because you all have found some backing! Big brother is merciful, and he wouldn’t bother with you all; otherwise, there would only be death, no matter the backing you have!” Nan Huairen was wily and meticulous. He knew exactly what words to say and what actions to take. This time, it looked like he was using Li Qiye to act arrogant, but these words were not only for the courtyard-destroying disciples. These words were also for the Xu Pei’s group to hear, they were words meant to wake them up!
These disciples regained their wits, and their bodies s.h.i.+vered. With those words, they threw away the equipment in their hands, and they turned around to flee. Right now, their boss had already been beaten to the point of screaming like a butchered pig. Even if they were ten times more courageous, they still wouldn’t dare to challenge Li Qiye.
