Chapter 433: Follow Me

The young group of six were stunned for a long time. The Yin Moon Prince, a Royal n.o.ble, was crushed to death. This was too terrifying. They stared at Li Qiye witlessly without being able to say a word.

“So it seems that I was being a busybody. With your abilities, Young n.o.ble Li had no need for our tribe’s protection.” Qiurong Wanxue calmed down and wryly smiled. [1. Okay, this part requires some explanation to make some sense. “Busybody” here is a prose meaning ‘to shower affection on an uninterested party.’ The second part of this prose means to think that your love is reciprocated. But the entire prose here is saying that she was interfering when it wasn’t needed. I think picking busybody makes more sense than using the original prose in the translated version. Perhaps even without the footnote, ‘busybody’ and ‘affection’ in the next line still work.]

“No, I appreciate your affection.” Li Qiye looked at the elegant and beautiful woman before him and smiled. [2. Here, Li Qiye used the second half of that prose to imply that he doesn’t mind her ‘affection.’]

Qiurong Wanxue only smiled bitterly at his teasing, no longer becoming angry. She now understood that her caution towards Li Qiye was redundant because they didn’t have anything worthy of him plotting against.

With her most conservative estimate, Li Qiye should be an Ancient Saint. This was a power capable of instilling fear in all as opposed to the small Snow-shadow Tribe.

With his power, he could just directly seize whatever he wanted from the tribe. She then knew that he only followed them for one reason — the Prime Ominous Grave.

She then gently sighed; her initial caution towards Li Qiye was only self-imposed and unnecessary. Li Qiye had no malicious intents and moreover, their strength was insignificant even if they were wary of him.

The group of the Yin Moon Prince was the best example. The prince was the descendant of a second-rate sect, a powerful Royal n.o.ble, but he became nothing in an instant in Li Qiye’s hands.

The group of six calmed down while still feeling a bit restless. Peng Zhuang stuttered to say: “This… Brother Li, no, Fellow Daoist Li…” To them, a Royal n.o.ble was already very strong. One would definitely be an expert in the Snow-shadow Tribe, yet this was nothing before Li Qiye.

Before this, they were calling Li Qiye “brother.” Not to mention them, but even the elders and the chief of their tribe would respect a master of this magnitude.

There was only confusion left in their minds as the entire group was a chaotic mess.

“You can just act like before.” Li Qiye noticed Peng Zhuang’s stuttering and said.

“Well… Okay.” Peng Zhuang scratched his head and let out a silly smile. He thought that it was not a bad thing to befriend such an expert.

“Who on earth are you?” Qiurong Wanxue took a deep breath and asked Li Qiye.

The six also stared at Li Qiye. Before, they thought that he was only a vagrant cultivator with his home being the four directions. But now, this didn’t seem to be the case. How could a vagrant cultivator be so strong at such a young age?

“Me?” Li Qiye pointed at his nose and asked, then he answered with a smile: “I am a human cultivator from the southern Distant Cloud. The truth is that who I am is not important, the pertinent matter is that I have no ill will towards you guys.”

Qiurong Wanxue could only force a smile. Li Qiye was right, someone with his power definitely had a heaven-frightening origin. It was not important whether a small tribe like the Snow-shadow Tribe knew his ident.i.ty or not. It could be said that the two sides were not on the same level; they were people from two different worlds.

She then solemnly said with her hands clasped together: “In that case, Young n.o.ble Li, goodbye for now. We’ll cross paths again if it is meant to be.” She intended to escort him for a while, but now it seemed that it was completely unnecessary.

“No.” Li Qiye shook his head and said: “Qiurong, you follow me.”

These words out of nowhere left everyone speechless, including Qiurong Wanxue. The group of six were completely stunned with their mouths wide open. The moment they calmed down, they started peeking at each other. This development was a little bit too fast! Suddenly telling the chief to follow him... Could this be a… happy event? [3. Happy event here can also mean wedding/pregnancy.]

Qiurong staggered for a bit as her beautiful face blushed. After a while, she calmed down and replied in a serious manner: “Young n.o.ble Li’s joke is a bit out of line.”

Li Qiye looked at their expressions and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. They misunderstood his intentions.
