Chapter 705: Scheme
“Right, if I remember correctly.” At this time, Li Qiye seemed to recall something and looked at Tie Yi to say: “There is also an item, an amazing item in the Serene Garden. Don’t tell me you didn’t simply go there to ask Caihe for medicines. You also wanted to steal that thing, right?”
“No, no, absolutely not.” Tie Yi immediately denied this accusation: “Young n.o.ble, Fairy Yuan is my savior. I engraved her kindness in the depths of my heart for all of eternity, so how could I steal from the Serene Garden?”
“Really now?” Li Qiye remarked in a flat tone while still staring straight at Tie Yi as if he had nowhere to hide.
With Li Qiye’s eyes fixed on him like this, Tie Yi shuddered and lowered his head, forcing out a smile to say: “Haha, I can’t hide it from Young n.o.ble, I really had that thought back then. However, Fairy Yuan is a kind person, a real G.o.ddess. She saw my grave injuries and immediately treated me without any question; she even gave me some incredible medicines. I will always keep this life debt in my heart and will definitely not commit any immoral acts at the Serene Garden.”
“I see.” Li Qiye slightly nodded and said: “I hope you are telling the truth, but it really doesn’t matter. I just want to let you know that whether it is the Serene Garden or Caihe, you better be smart and don’t try anything foolish. Otherwise, let alone someone of your strength, even if you were an Immortal Emperor, I would still look for opportunities to end you!”
This remark was presented in a calm manner, but even someone like Tie Yi was frightened. He didn’t doubt Li Qiye’s words since he knew, very well, that Li Qiye was someone who could back them up!
After a moment of contemplation, Tie Yi calmed down and looked at Li Qiye before laughing: “Young n.o.ble must like Fairy Yuan? In my opinion, she likes Young n.o.ble as well.”
“Like?” Li Qiye smiled and looked towards the far distance. Eventually, he gently sighed and said: “I like many things in this world, too many to count in fact, so in the end, I don’t know what I truly like.”
“It’s no problem as long as Young n.o.ble likes it. Does Young n.o.ble want this lowly one to be a helper? Creating a romantic atmosphere or something like that… This lowly one will definitely do a good job so that Young n.o.ble can meet Fairy Yuan whenever you wish.” Tie Yi quickly tried to match Li Qiye together with Yuan Caihe.
Li Qiye only laughed at Tie Yi’s attempt to pull strings and said: “You really look down on me too much. If I want to court a woman, do I really need help from someone else? I would just directly win them over. Is there a woman in this world whom I, Li Qiye, cannot conquer?”
“Yes, that is only a matter of course.” Tie Yi quickly sucked up to Li Qiye and said: “Young n.o.ble is outstanding and able to tread proudly through the era. With Young n.o.ble’s dragon-among-men features, people would adore you and flowers would bloom wherever you look…”
Li Qiye looked at him with one eye and motioned with his hand to say: “Okay, stop sucking up here, go and prepare the medicinal ingredients!”
Tie Yi acknowledged this command and laughed before turning away to leave. He dug down into the ground and instantly disappeared without a trace. Who knows if it was because he was an iron ant or not. In short, he especially liked to dig holes and travel underground. It would be more accurate if he was a rat instead of an iron ant. Only a rat would love to dig holes and move around underground like this.
After Tie Yi was gone, Li Qiye opened his box and noticed that inside was a group of sealed lights. Upon a closer look, it was not light but a group of lightning bolts.
They were in constant motion but were far from being simple lightning bolts. When he looked again, he found that inside this group of bolts hid a great amount of runes as if the mysteries of the world were inside.
“Not bad, a group of lightning bolts appearing in a place like this... It is truly not easy to find.” Li Qiye looked at the lightning bolts and was immediately drawn in by them. Time and time again, he pondered over the runes inside.
After meticulous contemplation, he finally succeeded in deriving some clues from within the runes.
“Allpine Treefather, you actually managed to obtain such a great fortune that year...” He murmured after understanding those clues.
He gazed towards the far distance and suddenly fell silent while thinking about someone, a person who he didn’t want to think about too much.
“One will always need to make a choice regarding a few things in this world.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but sigh and say: “No matter what, you are still the one I’m most proud of out of all the Immortal Emperors I have groomed.”
His expression sank after saying this. The emotions of the past were overwhelming. There was too much frustration; even though he had impeccable means, there were still things that made him feel helpless and forced him to make a choice.
Li Qiye shook his head, composing himself as he didn’t want to think about the past any longer. He focused his mind on this group of lightning bolts instead. He was not satisfied with just deriving the runes inside the bolts since he needed much more.
This small group of lightning bolts actually had an unbelievable origin, and with it were a frightening catastrophe. Very few people in the world had actually managed to see this type of lightning.
However, Li Qiye had seen it before, it belonged to an extremely powerful tribulation. Although opening it was not an easy matter, he still had absolute confidence in himself.
