Chapter 2027: Casually Picking Tea Leaves (1/2)

The students present exchanged glances at each other. These three were trying to trap Li Qiye without leaving him any room to back off.

Keep in mind that it was easier said than done to take some ten-dao leaves. Virtuous was talented, right? He could be considered one of the most brilliant geniuses in this generation but only managed to grab some nine-dao leaves.

Only one person in the annals of the academy was able to get ten-dao leaves, Nether Lunatic!

One of the most gifted and certainly the most arrogant student could only get the ones with ten dao. Meanwhile, Li Qiye was an unknown teacher.

Just reaching this level was hard enough, let alone grabbing thirty to fifty leaves. It was simply impossible with no chance of victory for Li Qiye.

A student from Emperor Mansion began: “C’mon, Teacher, open our eyes and show us your invincible style.”

Sinister intent hid behind the kind flattery. They wanted to push Li Qiye into the fire.

“Since when did the academy produce only idiots?” Li Qiye glanced at the group and shook his head: “Back during the generation of Mortal Reversion Ancient G.o.d’s group, they would instantly fight first then talk later for any disagreements. The students back then were experienced on the battlefield, but now, just a couple of brats clever in trivial matters.”

“Ten-dao leaves are completely pointless, too easy.” Li Qiye lacked interest in the bet.

“You’re stopping just like that, Teacher?” Freesky wouldn’t let this go so easily. He sneered and said: “It shouldn’t be hard for you at all, please do it, everyone is waiting to watch. We’ll be completely convinced once you do it.”

Li Qiye shook his head again: “The bet is too small, not interesting.”

“Teacher, you said you were up for it earlier, don’t tell me you no longer dare?” Rumination seized the opportunity to insult Li Qiye.

“Teacher, if you won’t do it, then you owe me an apology since you said you were accepting challenges earlier.” Freesky snorted. As the saying goes - strike while the iron is hot. There was no point in giving the guy any face right now.

“Only ten dao? No need for Teacher, even an old man like me can do it.” Jinsheng had enough of these gloating youths so he sneered.

If Jinsheng had the same temperament as back then, he would have erupted. Of course, he was able to control his emotions much better now. Nevertheless, he got enough of this charade so he stepped up for Li Qiye.

“Jinsheng, you’re unwell right now and need to recuperate. No need for that, Suyao can easily do it.” Li Qiye waved his sleeve and said.

Suyao smiled back: “Young n.o.ble, I would do it for you even if it wasn’t for the bet since you said you wanted to drink tea before. However, ten-dao leaves are too impure, you probably won’t like it. Only twelve-dao leaves will suit your taste.”

Li Qiye said: “That’s fine. A bunch of fools thinks that ten-dao leaves are unreachable, but tea made from them is only meant to wash my hands. Drinking that is too embarra.s.sing.”

Such a domineering statement left the youths shocked since it was a slap to their face.

In their mind, it was amazing that they could grab the precious four-dao and five-dao leaves. But now, he even said that ten-dao leaves were worthless. It was akin to laughing straight at their face.

“Such a big tone, save it until you can grab some first.” Freesky couldn’t handle it either and uttered coldly with a sneer.

“Teacher, then please go and grab a few twelve-dao leaves here then.” The young king burst out in laughter.

“That’s right, if ten-dao leaves aren’t good enough for you, Teacher, then grab the twelve-dao ones. Show us how it’s done.” Rumination jumped in.
