Chapter 93: Master is a Beautiful Woman (1) (2/2)
Currently, in the eyes of the sect’s upper echelon, such as Elder Zhou, Li Qiye was the leader for the sect’s revitalization. He was the driver of the sect. Su Yonghuang’s return naturally was opposed by the upper echelon. Plus, they didn’t trust her. How could they hand over the disciples to her?
Because of this, the two sides almost flipped the table on each other. Frankly speaking, the group of Elder Zhou didn’t agree for Su Yonghuang to take charge of the sect no matter what.
After bringing Li Qiye inside, Elder Sun hurriedly told everyone present: “Good, it is good now. Li Qiye is back. Everyone can slowly talk.”
Seeing Li Qiye’s return, the group of Elder Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere inside the ancestral chamber clearly eased up.
At this time, Tu Buyu, who was standing behind Su Yonghuang, smiled as he kindly said: “Big Brother, this is our master and also our sect master.”
Regarding the address of “Sect Master”, Elder Zhou’s group let out a scowl as they were clearly irritated.
Li Qiye observed Su Yonghuang, and he was not without astonishment! The Su Yonghuang in front of him was a woman, a very young woman at that!
The woman before him seemed to be around twenty or so and possessed a charming and n.o.ble presence; she was wearing a faintly yellow robe, causing her n.o.bility to be even more apparent. Regarding the woman in front of his eyes, her forehead was like the moon and she had eyes like the stars. Her most attractive feature was her elegant brows; they were like swords, causing her elegant charm to have three parts domineering presence. It was as if she was the heaven’s royal daughter, possessing a matchless imperial air along with an unmatched grace.
Comparing beauty, Li Shuangyan next to Li Qiye was not less than the woman ahead; however, Li Shuangyan didn’t have the matchless imperial atmosphere along with this unmatched grace.
When Li Qiye was looking at her, Su Yonghuang was also checking him out. The master and disciple were a.n.a.lyzing each other.
Li Qiye’s wits returned, and he glanced at Nan Huairen next to him, saying: “You never told me that the sect master was a woman.”
“Well…” Nan Huairen was stunned for a moment, and he forcefully smiled as he whispered: “Brother didn’t ask, ah! I thought you already knew.”
Li Qiye was a bit speechless. Up until now, he had always thought that Su Yonghuang was a man. Tu Buyu, as her disciple, was more than one thousand years old so his master, Su Yonghuang, should also be an old man with gray hair that was around six or seven thousand years old. However, Li Qiye didn’t expect that Su Yonghuang was a woman around the age of twenty-five and possessed extreme beauty.
At this moment, Gu Tieshou wanted to smooth things over, so he said: “Qiye, the sect master wants to bring disciples to the Evil Infested Ridge.”
Su Yonghuang looked at Li Qiye and then said: “The Evil Infested Ridge, to our current Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, is the best place for training; it is also the time where we harvest materials. From my calculations, it is half a year away at most, and the soonest is around three months. At that time, the Evil Infested Ridge will open. This is the one and only opportunity in a hundred years and our sect cannot afford to let it go.”
Li Qiye spoke as he gently nodded his head: “I’m fairly clear on this. Sixty-three days later, the Evil Infested Ridge will definitely open.” The moment when he was buried underground, he also found out when the ridge would open.
Gu Tieshou asked Li Qiye: “Then what is your opinion?”
At this moment, all of the elders were looking at Li Qiye. In their hearts, Elder Zhou’s group wanted Li Qiye to become the sect master of the sect.
“May I have a little talk with the sect master?” Eventually, Li Qiye said to the group of Gu Tieshou.
Gu Tieshou and the others looked at each other. In the end, they all agreed with Li Qiye’s request.
Li Qiye returned to Lonely Peak, and Li Shuangyan and the others all took their leave. Inside the small courtyard, only Li Qiye and Su Yonghuang, as well as Tu Buyu who was standing behind Su Yonghuang, were present.
Li Qiye stared at Su Yonghuang, and he was silent for a long time. Certain memories came back to him. After a while, Li Qiye finally said: “Is the Heaven’s Edge Su Clan doing all right?” [1]
Li Qiye’s words greatly changed Su Yonghuang’s expression. Even Tu Buyu was shocked. Su Yonghuang looked at him and emotionally exclaimed: “How do you know about the Heaven’s Edge?! In the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, outside of Grandpa Tu, no one else knew about the Heaven’s Edge Su Clan!”
As soon as Li Qiye opened his mouth, he immediately spoke of her origin. How could Su Yonghuang not be surprised? The Heaven’s Edge Su Clan’s name never appeared in this world, and no one knew about it in the Nine Worlds.
After calming his emotions, Li Qiye nonchalantly smiled and said: “The Patriarch simply told me in my dreams.”
[1] Heaven’s Edge means the other end of the world / a faraway place in this usage.
