Chapter 2061: Nether Lunatic (1/2)

Virtuous slightly raised his brows. This was indeed the case because Nine-sword wouldn’t let his only son die like this without doing anything. There was no way he would forgive the killer!

Li Qiye continued: “Don’t worry about this, just back off. But if you must demand justice, then just know that my will is justice. Is that good enough of a reason?”

Virtuous did not like this contemptuous response; it was pretty much a challenge.

The headmaster shook his head and didn’t want to interfere. This was a crucial moment for the academy so this matter was insignificant.

Virtuous took a deep breath and said: “Dao Brother, you are too unreasonable. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong right now, but I wish to see if you are qualified to act so domineeringly.”

This was a tough response. As an emperor, he couldn’t back down after just a few sentences from the guy.

“Challenging me?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile.

“Yes, overestimating myself I might be, I still wish to try. If I lose, I’ll leave and stop asking about this matter.” Virtuous said.

“You are indeed overestimating yourself.” Li Qiye nodded: “Your power right now is insignificant. Forget it, because you are a human, I won’t make it too difficult for you. Return from whence you came, you’re not ready to partic.i.p.ate in this muddled water.”

“Does he think everyone is beneath him?!” A student was indignant and stood up for Virtuous: “Who does he think he is, a twelve-will emperor? No one can take this sitting down.”

Virtuous wasn’t ready for this verbal slap either. He was still an emperor and demanded more respect.

“If that’s the case, let me witness your invincible arts. I have a bad habit of not giving up until seeing it for myself.” His expression turned cold.

“Buzz.” Strands of imperial light oozed out from his body. Each ray seemed to be opening a new world and carried boundless power.

His aura engulfed the entire academy. Every student could sense this direction suppression, causing them to tremble.

“A fight is about to break out…” One murmured.

“Virtuous hasn’t fought anyone after becoming a monarch so I’m looking forward to this.” A student licked his lips and said with antic.i.p.ation.

Li Qiye simply chuckled and didn’t really mind - perhaps he had no intention of starting.

“Only a four-will monarch, no need for Young n.o.ble to personally fight. I’m more than enough.” Jinsheng behind Li Qiye stepped up and calmly challenged.

This old man was completely unnoticeable standing behind Li Qiye. But now, he didn’t give Virtuous any face either to the crowd’s astonishment.

Li Qiye being arrogant was one thing, but now a student from Study Room was also the same way? Was this a case of like teacher, like student?

“Who is he? Daring to speak to Virtuous like that?” A student wondered.

Another became unhappy: “Does he think he can act like that with a teacher backing him up? He needs to weigh himself first.”

Virtuous immediately turned his attention towards Jinsheng. In the beginning, he really didn’t notice this old man and thought that he was only Li Qiye’s servant. It was already an impressive showing of self-restraint for an emperor to not slap the old man for being disrespectful.
