Chapter 1808: Departing (1/2)

Li Qiye and Laoliu left the ominous ground. He climbed G.o.dwatching Peak again with the princess standing there waiting.

She bowed deeply and spoke with respect: “I thank you on behalf of my clan and the future living beings in the area. You have created prosperity and fortune for that domain.”

The world-transforming deed of Li Qiye would benefit Jilin in the future as well as the citizens there. The princess’ grat.i.tude came from the heart.

Li Qiye accepted her grand gesture and sat down without any hesitation.

The princess was surprised to see Laoliu too. After looking at him carefully, she cupped her fist and said: “I see, Dao Brother is hiding in our Jilin. The elders from the Divine Dragon Mountain are all looking for you. Some even visited my clan.”

Unlike the others, the princess was able to recognize his real ident.i.ty.

Laoliu became a bit awkward and smiled wryly: “Please don’t tell me elders or they’ll break my legs. Hehehe, I can a.s.sure you that I’ll play nice at Jilin and won’t do anything to put you in a tough spot.”

“And the sun would set to the east.” Li Qiye laughed and said: “Even the masters of your sect are troublemakers.”

Laoliu let out another awkward laugh. The princess shook her head since she had heard of this stubborn fella. He had a great foundation with an enviable sect yet he didn’t like staying there and rather go outside to play.

Divine Dragon Mountain had two Immortal Monarchs on top of possessing a bloodline of true dragons. It was a power that could call for winds and rains at Pure.

For someone like Laoliu, he could have any treasure and merit laws if he were to play nice and train hard in the sect. However, the guy rather played around as a swindler in the mundane world. It was a love for freedom and being carefree.

Laoliu quietly left since he could tell that the princess wanted to talk to Li Qiye. She was having a hard time finding the right words.

Li Qiye looked at her and said: “Speak, I shall pardon your sin if you were to say something inappropriate.”

She heaved a sigh of relief after gaining permission and calmly said: “Southern Sun and Grand Rule High G.o.ds are complaining to my clan; they want an answer.”

There was no doubt that these two were pressuring the Jilin Clan. Even though they wouldn’t dare to say that they were dissatisfied with the clan, the Jilin owed them this much since their successors did indeed die under the clan’s jurisdiction.

The Jilin Clan was slightly vexed by this. They couldn’t find Li Qiye’s background at all. Of course, they couldn’t ignore the complaints from the High G.o.ds either because their sects were tributaries to the Jilin. Thus, the clan needed to voice an opinion. Otherwise, the hundreds of powers under them would feel slighted.

Furthermore, it was one thing if the two sects were the ones complaining. Even their sect masters didn’t mean much in front of the Jilin Clan. This wasn’t the case for the two High G.o.ds. They were powerful in their own rights with prestigious status on the same level as many older ancestors of the Jilin.

“Oh?” Li Qiye’s response was very leisure. He smiled and said: “What is their demand?”

“They want us to hand you over, young n.o.ble, for killing their successors. They want an answer.” The princess said.

Of course, their demand was more than this. The aggressive High G.o.ds demanded the Jilin to kill Li Qiye but the princess chose against being too direct.

Li Qiye naturally knew this even if the princess didn’t tell him. He leisurely said: “Then I’ll see them at your clan. If they have something to say or some kind of demands, I’ll love to hear it. I’m someone who listens to others’ opinion.”
