Chapter 1547: Wenren Lurui (1/2)

Li Qiye was half-lying down in the pavilion while looking at the lake before telling a disciple from the Wenren Clan: “Go brew a pot of tea, pick something good.”

The disciples’ expression s.h.i.+fted after hearing and seeing his att.i.tude. They were important characters in the clan but now, a fake son-in-law was actually treating them as servants.

“Don’t be unhappy.” Li Qiye didn’t bother looking at them and said flatly: “To be able to wait on me is your fortune. Go.”

Their expression turned for the worst. They have seen arrogant people before but never to this level.

“Go brew some for him. I still have a good one here.” Wenren Jians.h.i.+’s att.i.tude was much better as he ordered these disciples.

Though the annoyed disciples ignored Li Qiye, they didn’t dare to not listen to the Elder Young n.o.ble’s instruction so they went to make some tea.

After they left, Jians.h.i.+ looked over at Li Qiye and asked: “May I ask where you are from and your name?”

“Last name’s Li, just a wandering vagabond.” Li Qiye casually answered.

This att.i.tude of his was very unreasonable. Keep in mind that the Wenren Clan was very influential in this region. Jians.h.i.+, in particular, had a prestigious status as well. No cultivators in these parts would dare to act so pompously in front of him.

He didn’t become angry and replied: “Brother Li, you can’t become the Wenren Clan’s son-in-law with these answers.”

Li Qiye chuckled in response: “You got it wrong. I don’t know and don’t care to know whether I can be the Wenren’s son-in-law. However, it is impossible to find someone in the nine heavens who can become my older brother-in-law.”

Jians.h.i.+ had no words and had to take a careful look at Li Qiye. He didn’t know where the guy’s confidence came from. In just a short time, he felt a bit uncertain. Was this ordinary man truly a hidden master or was he just boasting?

During this difficult moment, the disciples of the clan brought the tea forward.

As the host, he adhered to the proper etiquette and personally poured a cup for both him and Li Qiye. Li Qiye didn’t act reserved either and slowly raised his cup.

Jians.h.i.+ also took a sip as well before asking: “Brother Li, the son-in-law of the Wenren Clan might not necessarily enjoy wealth and riches so easily. Maybe even before they see any of that, their lives would be thrown away first.”

He made it clear enough as a reminder towards Li Qiye.

“Who says I want riches?” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “Materialistic possessions are fleeting.”

This answer perplexed Jians.h.i.+ even more.

“How much do you know about your brother-in-law?” Li Qiye enjoyed the sceneries and his tea. After a long time, he casually asked Jians.h.i.+ without turning around.

“I thought it was you, Brother Li.” Jians.h.i.+ smiled and said: “Of course, it’s not too late to deny it. Otherwise, once people made up their mind, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to.”

“I’m a reasonable person.” He took another sip: “So I hope your Wenren Clan is reasonable as well.”

“If this matter could be solved in this manner, it wouldn’t be like this right now.” Jians.h.i.+ shook his head: “Reasons won’t do here. If you think you can talk it through, Brother Li, you are sorely mistaken.”

“No. my logics have always reached people, that’s what I’m best at.” Li Qiye emphasized.

Jians.h.i.+ had no idea what Li Qiye wanted to do. He eventually said: “Brother Li, what’s your intention?”

“So you think I’m not your brother-in-law? Don’t tell me you know who he is.” Li Qiye leisurely smiled and said.

Jians.h.i.+’s expression changed. He looked at Li Qiye: “If it’s someone I know, all of this wouldn’t happen now.”

Li Qiye chuckled and sipped his tea. After a while, he broke the silence: “How does your clan want to tidy up this mess?”
