Chapter 2031: Pagodas Tale (2/2)

“Talking about me?” A leisure voice came about and interrupted his haughty act.

Everyone saw Li Qiye strutting closer with Jinsheng next to him.

“Teacher.” Many students became alarmed, especially those who patted the horse’s bottom earlier. They retreated and didn’t dare to look straight at him.

Six-sword was naturally affected too, not expecting Li Qiye to come here. Alas, the words have come out of his mouth and there was no taking them back.

He stood there looking stiff, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Li Qiye didn’t make it difficult for him outside of giving him a side-eye.

His focus turned on Murder PaG.o.da. He came here for a different reason, unlike all the other students and teachers.

Jinsheng had a strange expression after seeing the paG.o.da. His eyes had a complicated glint, culminating with him gently sighing.

“If I was the one who left the paG.o.da here, I would certainly come back to take it.” Li Qiye withdrew his gaze and chuckled.

“Why?” Jinsheng blurted out.

Li Qiye said: “For me, there must be an end for every beginning. Whether it be to end the feud with the academy or to carry out my promise, or some other reasons, I would still come back. What a shame that Nether Lunatic still hasn’t done so.”

Jinsheng spoke quietly: “Perhaps he is repenting for his arrogant days. Everyone has different feelings about their various stages in life.”

“There’s nothing embarra.s.sing about repentance. If he is remorseful about it, then all the more reason to come back.” Li Qiye said: “There is a saying - a prodigal son turning back on the right path is worth more than gold. Why did the ancestors of the academy leave the paG.o.da here? It is more than just a warning - they are waiting for that day.”

Jinsheng had no response.

The students who were listening to their conversation didn’t really put any weight on Liu Jinsheng. In their eyes, the students from Study Room were useless and couldn’t be strong at all. Plus, the guy was so old when he got into Study Room. One could easily imagine how rotten his talents must be.

“The paG.o.da got much stronger now.” Jinsheng eventually broke the silence.

“Indeed.” Li Qiye smiled: “The paG.o.da has an amazing origin. It has been suppressing this grand vein for so long, pretty much had taken roots in it. Not to mention the students, few teachers here could reach the top of the paG.o.da. As for taking it away? That’s relatively difficult. No wonder why Nether Lunatic made the bold declaration back then. It’s definitely not a bad treasure.”

“Just drivel driven by youthful arrogance.” Jinsheng stated.

“Hmph, the academy is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.” Six-sword who was standing to the side jumped in: “Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t!”

In fact, he wanted to bring up Gu Qiheng because he was unhappy about Li Qiye. He wanted to bring up Teacher Qiheng in order to take Li Qiye down a notch.

“Are you talking about yourself?” Li Qiye looked at him and smiled: “The academy is indeed full of dragons and tigers, but I don’t know if you are either?”

Six-sword’s expression changed. There was a past conflict between the two of them already and Li Qiye’s comment just now insulted him.
