Chapter 409: One Triumphant Move (2/2)

“Well, go down there, saving him is more important!” Daoist Bao Gui opened his mouth: “Li Qiye has pa.s.sed the first trial, so the content of the second trial will be decided by Li Qiye. What will you pick? As long as you say it, the river sect will accept your challenge.”

“My choice?” Li Qiye rubbed his chin and then smiled: “If it is my choice, then how about catching immortal sungra.s.ses? Whoever catches more will be the winner.”

“Catching immortal sungra.s.ses?” Daoist Bao Gui couldn’t help but to look at Li Qiye and ask: “Do you know what catching immortal sungra.s.ses actually entails?”

“There is no need for Sect Master’s reminder regarding this matter.” Li Qiye smiled and replied with a question of his own: “Who doesn’t know that the Yin Yang Immortal Sungra.s.ses beneath the Yin Yang Pond are great immortal treasures of the southern Distant Cloud?”

“Very well. Three days later, the second trial will be at the Yin Yang Pond.” Daoist Bao Gui didn’t question Li Qiye’s request and immediately agreed.

As for the rest of the Thousand Carp disciples, they could only stand there silently. Although they were quite annoyed with Li Qiye, after seeing Li Qiye use his own strength to defeat Yan Long, they could only acquiesce.

“Very well, let us go!” Li Qiye smiled as he spoke to Lan Yunzhu: “I trust that no one can separate the two of us, don’t you think?”

Li Qiye’s words were really p.r.o.ne to misunderstanding. At this moment, it seemed as if the two of them were stranded lovers while the Thousand Carp River was a wicked man that was trying to break them apart with a rod.

Lan Yunzhu gave him an angry look, but she didn’t retort and left with him.

The Thousand Carp disciples didn’t know how to describe their current feelings outside of their restrained anger. Before the battle, many of them were excited and had a winner’s mentality. In their eyes, this battle was without any doubt since their senior brother would certainly teach this ignorant brat a lesson. They didn’t expect that their senior brother would be lying flat on the ground after just one move from the opponent. This was truly humiliating to the sect, but they couldn’t do anything about it since Li Qiye won fair and square.

“Hmph, even if he pa.s.sed the first test, he cannot pa.s.s the second. Not everyone can go down into the depths of the Yin Yang Pond.” In the end, an unconvinced disciple scowled.

After returning to their private mansion, Lan Yunzhu looked at him and asked: “Going down to the Yin Yang Pond to catch immortal sungra.s.ses requires two people, can you do it alone?”

Li Qiye smiled and looked at Lu Baiqiu to the side and spoke: “If you don’t want to help me, then Lu Baiqiu can go down with me.”

“Me?” Lu Baiqiu was taken by surprise as she shook her head: “I can’t, Young n.o.ble, do you actually know the meaning behind catching immortal sungra.s.sess below the pond?”

Li Qiye answered with a faint smile: “If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have chosen sungra.s.ses catching.”

“But Young n.o.ble, you must know that the Yin Yang Pond is a very terrifying environment. The pond contains both Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Water, so even though they are in the same pond, these two types of water are completely different. Extreme Yin Water is the coldest liquid in this world. A touch of a drop could completely freeze one’s true fate and soul, and the pond gets even colder the further one goes down…” Lu Baiqiu quickly explained to Li Qiye.

“... Extreme Yang Water is the hottest liquid in this world. It could easily melt steel. Even Named Heroes and Royal n.o.bles would not dare to touch it carelessly.”

She continued on: “It is not because I don’t want to lend Young n.o.ble a hand, it is because my cultivation is really too shallow. Once we enter the pond, I’m afraid I will only slow you down.”

“Don’t worry, it is no big deal.” Li Qiye continued while being completely at ease: “If you can’t, then Yunzhu can do it. The two of us can go down while you watch.”

“Who said I would help you?” Lan Yunzhu angrily glared at him and said: “You brought this upon yourself; I didn’t tell you to pick such a challenge. Also, I am a disciple of the Thousand Carp River, so how can I help an outsider?”

“Is that so?” Li Qiye nonchalantly looked at her and said: “Do you feel that martial brothers and sisters are closer than husband and wife? Don’t forget that I am your husband!”

“Stop spouting nonsense!” Lan Yunzhu was both shy and angry as she stated: “There is no chance for you to be my fiance. Wait for your next life! Wait, no, even in your next life, there would be no chance!”

“Oh? Since you are saying this, should I think about giving up?” Li Qiye gently chuckled and said: “If I give up now, I think your river sect will happily hand me a few treasures. As for the matter of your marriage, you can take your time and think about it again in the future.”

“Don’t you dare—” The blus.h.i.+ng Lan Yunzhu had her hands placed on her waist while revealing an appearance as if she was about to explode from anger.
