Chapter 1293: Xiong Qianbei

Li Qiye interrupted him and dismissively said: “People from the Xiong Clan have never been disciples of the Regal Valley. Don’t play tricks in front of me.”

The overlord was taken aback after hearing this while the old man echoed: “Young n.o.ble, you are right, I’ve never been their valley’s disciple, he is trying to frame me.”

The overlord’s expression turned a bit ugly, but he quickly restored his smile: “Young n.o.ble Li, your words are a bit too arbitrary…”

“I’ve always been an arbitrary person.” Li Qiye interrupted him and flatly a.s.serted: “This person is now under my protection, leave.”

The overlord’s expression dimmed as a fierce flash streaked across his eyes, but he still maintained his friendly demeanor: “I have always respected the heroes of all races, and the same goes for your prestige. If Young n.o.ble Li and the schoolmasters wish to protect this traitor, then I will give you some face and no longer pursue this matter.”

This reply was quite generous and sensible. Anyone else would feel their days brighten up. To be given such respect was a kind of honor.

However, Li Qiye was still as cold as before. From start to finish, he didn’t even give the overlord a single glance.

Nevertheless, the overlord didn’t become angry. He bid his farewell with a smile: “Young n.o.ble Li, Schoolmasters, this is goodbye for now. However, with the world as small as it is, I hope that everyone will come visit my Regal Valley one day. I will surely show you my greatest hospitality.”

“Valley Lord, you are too polite.” Ruyan and Jians.h.i.+ were still courteous. As lords of their sects, they naturally had to act gracefully.

Li Qiye, on the other hand, was completely indifferent. His att.i.tude would make others think that he was overbearingly arrogant.

The overlord smiled and left in a cool manner.

Ruyan chuckled after he left: “Young n.o.ble, you are now on that guy’s list, and he will never let go of his prey. He’s a brute famous for wanting to hunt people stronger than him. You are the rising rookie of the human race, and since you have opposed him, you are now the prime candidate on his list.”

“Then let him come and die.” Li Qiye simply didn’t give a d.a.m.n about the overlord’s pretentious and friendly act.

He had seen countless people ranging from Immortal Emperors to n.o.bodies. What kind of character had he not met? How could the overlord’s little play elude his eyes?

The old man felt that he found a path to survival after hearing Li Qiye’s nonchalant and confidence-filled statement. He quickly prostrated on the ground to say: “Young n.o.ble, thank you for saving my life. This lowly one will never forget your kindness.”

“Thank you, Schoolmasters, for being on the side of righteousness.” He bowed to the two girls as well.

Ruyan responded with a faint smile: “You sure know how to talk, putting the hat of being your saviors on our head. It looks like it will be difficult for us not to save you.”

The old man coughed, but he still shamelessly bowed before them. [1. If you accept the gesture, you have the responsibility to protect him because of face.]

Li Qiye looked at the old man and asked: “What is your name?”

He quickly answered: “Young n.o.ble, this lowly one’s name is Qianbei, a disciple of the Xiong Clan.”

Li Qiye lightly spoke: “The Xiong has fallen, they do not exist in the Heaven Spirit World any longer.”

Xiong Qianbei felt dejected after hearing this and replied with sorrow: “You are right, this little one is only a wandering ghost.”

Li Qiye’s attention was on the wooden coffin on the old man’s back. He lowered his tone: “Where did you get this coffin from?”

Both the girls became curious as well. Ever since the old man got here, Li Qiye’s eyes rarely left the coffin. They were curious about what the contents of the coffin could be to attract someone like Li Qiye who was indifferent to everything.

Qianbei was alarmed. He gripped the coffin even tighter while stumbling backward.
