Chapter 1748: Beauty Undressing (2/2)

Of course, this pain was nothing to Li Qiye. He glanced at her and said: “Your master is a rare talent despite his mediocre const.i.tution. Many Dao Saints and Dao Celestials have far inferior insight about how to deal with the world compared to him. For example, you and other cultivators, the only thing in your eyes is supreme merit laws and apt.i.tude while taking zero consideration about customs and social interactions. Thus, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if one day, someone ma.s.sacres your entire clan because of something stupid you have done.”

“Hmph, are you saying that you’re more exceptional than us?” Shen Xiaoshan scowled. This was her first time really talking to him.

“What do you think?” Li Qiye calmly elaborated: “Do you think you’re better than your master? Look at it from another perspective, will you do a better job as the sect master in the future?”

She became quiet. Her talents were indeed better but she might not do a better job than him as the sect master. Though the sect had no sign of rising up the ranks, it was peaceful under Tieshu Weng’s command. Moreover, he had a great relations.h.i.+p with the neighboring powers. He dealt with intersect-politics in such a skillful manner.

She was confident about surpa.s.sing him in cultivation but becoming a better sect master? That was a different matter.

“You think your master is stupid? Or is he a sycophant that would lick the boots of any man?” Li Qiye continued.

“Of course not! My master isn’t that kind of person. He is a visionary!” She shouted and wouldn’t allow anyone to insult her master.

“Right.” Li Qiye was in a rare mood to teach and continued on: “If your master isn’t stupid and kept on being respectful towards me, is there something wrong with him? If I have no value, would he act in this manner? If I am incapable, would I not care about cultivators? Do you think I am an ignorant fool that has no fear of death?”

Xiaoshan had no response because the guy was making sense. Her master was not stupid and he wouldn’t conduct himself towards a mortal like this for no reason.

In the beginning, she was already discontent due to her own prejudice and considered him an insignificant mortal. His att.i.tude only further exacerbated the issue and rage blinded her perception.

After thinking about it carefully, her master wouldn’t let his First Disciple waits on any random person.

“Alright, don’t just stand there. Focus.” His voice disturbed her contemplation.

She regained her wits as well as a better understanding of her master’s intent and the situation. Nevertheless, she was still annoyed at his att.i.tude but her mood did become better as she began her message.

Why would she bother posturing towards this mortal when her own master was borderline subservient? She became more attentive and better with the task at hand.

“Mmm.” Li Qiye enjoyed it and said: “Not bad, able to change your att.i.tude. Still a bit unhappy but at the very least, your decorum is better now. Being able to turn back from one’s mistake is the greatest virtue.”

“You always talk to people like this?” An innocent maiden was taking care of him yet he was still criticizing her. How could she not become angry?

“Do you want to hear the truth?” He smiled.

“Hmph, it’s not like you ever hold back, do you need my permission?” She scowled unhappily.

“That’s true.” Li Qiye nodded seriously and chuckled: “I don’t really pay attention to how I normally talk. However, one thing is certain, under normal circ.u.mstances, not to mention talking or waiting on me, you wouldn’t be qualified to even see me.”
