Chapter 2009: Six-sword Young King (2/2)

“Young King, you and Cla.s.smate Miao Chan working together will sweep through the entire party.” People began flattering him.

“The Young King is here too? This tea party might be much more exciting than last year.” Xinxue said: “That’s the leader of the Hundred Halls, one of the Three Scions at our academy. If he’s here, then maybe Freesky Young Lord and G.o.dchild from Rumination will be here too.”

“Hmm, I heard that the Young King is the son of Nine-sword High G.o.d, is that true?” Goldloop asked curiously.

“Yes.” Xinxue nodded: “Ren Sheng was the one who brought him here to the academy, so he’s a big deal.”

“That’s bada.s.s enough. The High G.o.d has eleven totems and is Ren Sheng’s dao protector. Now that Ren Sheng is an Immortal Monarch who can have eight wills later, he’ll have quite a big backing behind him. He’s probably only here to build connections.” Goldloop believed.

Xinxue was completely right about his background. His talents were also amazing as one of the Three Scions, enough to join Sacred Inst.i.tution or Emperor Mansion but he chose Hundred Halls instead. Eventually, he became the leader there and earned the students’ support.

“Sister Miao, there will be many experts at this party. Nevertheless, I will try my best to go first and hope that you will strategize for me.” The Young King came closer to Miao Chan and spoke quite intimately with no intention of hiding the adoration in his eyes.

“Senior, I’m sure you already have cards up your sleeve. I will just be cheering on the sideline.” Miao Chan humbly said.

“No way, I’ll be needing your advice then.” Being praised by Miao Chan left him elated and arching his chest out further.

Miao Chan smiled back and looked around them. However, she suddenly saw someone - a man who couldn’t look more ordinary. He walked inconspicuously on the street and could disappear among the sea of pedestrians at any moment.

She was visibly shaken since she knew who he was!

She quickly breathed in and started to leave.

“Where are you going, Sister?” The Young King was surprised and hurriedly caught up.

“Please excuse me, I have just thought of something.” She answered without looking back and left in a hurry.

Li Qiye naturally saw this and only chuckled. Though he killed the Golden Crown Prince and destroyed Heavenhoof, as long as Miao Chan was smart, he didn’t care about letting her live.

He took his group around for a stroll before telling them: “Keep walking around, I’m going to go see someone.”

“Yes, Teacher, we’ll wait for you at the tea garden.” Goldloop answered. None in the group dared to object.

Li Qiye told Jinsheng: “Watch them.”

Jinsheng could handle any trouble since he was no slouch. The old man nodded and continued to walk together with the other two.

Li Qiye went through the city and many streets before stopping at an old house. Its wooden doors were shut tightly with a knocking loop.

He went up and gently pulled it back for a knock.

“Ding, ding, ding!” The bell sound from this loop hitting the door was very pleasant.

Eventually, the doors opened, revealing an old servant. He wore a gray robe and didn’t say anything after seeing Li Qiye, only nodding his head.

Li Qiye nodded back and followed him into the house. There was nothing inside but a regular dao platform. Li Qiye then climbed on it, step by step.

1. Ye Xinxue and Ye Miaoxue; the Ye are different characters. Ye for Xinxue means night while Ye for Miaoxue means leaf.

2. Is it just me or there is a whole bunch of Xue and Ye in this chapter? I just know I’m going to get a name mixed up eventually
