Chapter 1191: Bloodline (2/2)

“Well, well, without trying, how would we know if it is true or not?” The schoolmaster chuckled.

The schoolmaster really wanted Li Qiye to stay at the three schools. If they could have his bloodline as well, it would fortify their status.

“Oh? You want to steal Golden Isle’s groom?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but chuckle: “If I am not mistaken, your Void Imperfection School has never interfered with mundane matters or competed with others.”

The schoolmaster gave a natural smile in response: “Nephew, you still haven’t married the miss from the Ye Clan yet, so how can this be considered stealing their groom? Plus, even if you had married, this is no big deal. Since the start of time, heroes would always have many companions.”

“I see, you want me to turn into the best stud to spread my seed everywhere.” Li Qiye laughed and shook his head: “Unfortunately, I have no interest in this.”

The schoolmaster opened his mouth in order to say something, but Li Qiye waved his hand: “I’m not interested, even if you provide better conditions. It’s not like Golden Isle hasn’t tried before, either.”

The schoolmaster could only softly sigh after hearing this, but he didn’t give up: “You are still one of us, our doors will always be open for you. One day when you are tired of drifting in this world, you can come and stay with us here, at Void Imperfection.”

“Thank you.” Li Qiye didn’t refuse the schoolmaster’s kindness. He flashed a quick smile before turning around to leave.

He went back to Shallow Beach afterward. Meanwhile, Ye Tu stayed with him the entire time, entertaining him with great enthusiasm.

“You are the regional supervisor here, don’t you have work to do?” Li Qiye looked at him with one eye and asked after seeing the youth working so hard.

Ye Tu smiled and replied: “Our Void Imperfection School aims for serenity and going with the flow. There is normally nothing to do, so we just sit there in a daze. Since you are here as our guest, let me be as good of a host as possible, lest others consider us to be inadequate with our hospitality.”

Li Qiye smiled and knew that this was the schoolmaster’s idea, so he didn’t chase him away.

After two days, Teng Jiwen finally came. He bowed after seeing Li Qiye: “By the command of the forefather, this junior is here to obey your commands, Sir. Just let me know when you require my service.”

“There’s no need for formalities, I am not that old.” Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve and told him to stand up.

Ye Tu also recognized Teng Jiwen and quickly chatted with him.

“If the two of you want to follow me, come then.” Li Qiye glanced at the two before leaving Shallow Beach.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what Li Qiye wanted to do. Regardless, they hurried to catch up to him.

After leaving the beach, they continued traveling quite far on the seabed.

This was the Void Imperfection School’s territory, so whether it was the surface or the seabed, Ye Tu was very familiar with it. He looked at the scene along the way and murmured: “Ahead is the Bottomless Trench, are we really going there?”

“Yes and no.” Li Qiye answered while comfortably leading the way. He strode forward while remaining untouched by the water as if he was gliding through the liquid. This manner of movement was very elegant, like drifting clouds flowing with the current.

Ye Tu calculated the time and said: “The season of the needlefish is almost upon us. Young n.o.ble, could it be that you are here for them?”

“Needlefish?” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “You are underestimating me too much. Needlefish can indeed be regarded as precious. However, a fish king can barely be considered top grade, they can’t get into my eyes.”

“The Bottomless Trench?” Teng Jiwen thought about a legend and speculated: “Sir, are you here for the legendary Seacrossing shuttle then?”

“Yes and no.” Li Qiye smiled and flatly said: “Your thinking might not be as quick as Ye Tu, but you are much more meticulous than him.”

“Seacrossing shuttle?” Ye Tu heard this name and was surprised: “Legend states that the shuttle hasn’t appeared for a very long time. Until now, all three great races of the Heaven Spirit World have been searching down at the Bottomless Trench, especially us charming spirits who do so every single generation.”

“Certain things will appear when the time is right. The disappearance was only due to outsiders not knowing about its existence.” Li Qiye plainly explained: “Like your ancestral whale, it also disappeared to those who are unable to see it.”

Ye Tu felt that this explanation made sense.
