Chapter 470: Giving No Face
As soon as the Rainbow Lightning came to a stop before Dong Li, Huang Yuan greeted her with a bright smile. “Big sister, we meet again.”
Dong Li seemed to enjoy the sight of her. Smiling, she nodded and said, “Thank you for reminding me before. I found a place to hide and luckily escaped the Death Reign. That was close.”
“Hahaha, you’re welcome,” Huang Yuan said, smiling.
Right before Huang Yuan and the others had descended, Nie Tian had been grilled by Pei Qiqi and Dong Li together, and thus felt a strong headache.
As soon as the Tool Sect youngsters came down from midair on their Rainbow Lightning, Nie Tian sensed them. Therefore, he secretly raised his guard and grew silent.
Pei Qiqi and Li Ye exchanged a glance and also fell silent.
They both knew Wu Ling, and were aware of the fact that Wu Ling had suffered a great loss from Nie Tian during the Heaven Gate trial, and eventually lost his left hand because of it.
Dong Li was also well-aware of the feud between Wu Ling and Nie Tian, and thus stopped messing around.
As soon as Wu Ling and the others landed, they realized that Pei Qiqi, Dong Li, and the others, who were talking just now, had suddenly grown silent.
After a moment of silent pondering, Wu Ling broke the ice by saying, “I heard that you’ve successfully joined the ranks of Premium grade equipment forgers, Junior Martial Brother Li. Congratulations. You’re able to forge Premium grade spiritual tools at such a young age. Your equipment forging talent is simply amazing.”
Li Ye and Pei Qiqi were Zhen Huilan’s disciples, while Wu Ling’s mother Bai Yu and Zhen Huilan had been martial sisters in the Tool Sect, so he naturally referred to Li Ye as his junior martial brother.
“Hahaha! If I didn’t have extraordinary equipment forging talent, my master wouldn’t have taken me in as her disciple, right?!” Li Ye wasn’t modest at all. “My master once told me that not a single person throughout the Tool Sect’s history has ever become a Premium grade equipment forger at my age!”
Wu Ling searched briefly in his head before nodding and saying, “That’s actually true.”
Zhu Han laughed as he played up to Pei Qiqi by initiating a conversation with her. “Junior Martial Sister Pei, your master used to be an important member of the Tool Sect, so we’re actually very close. Now that that traitor Zhao Shanling has fled the Realm of Unbounded Desolation again and the turbulence has come to an end, if you’re not in a hurry to leave, I’d be happy to show you around the magnificent sites in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation. What do you think?”
“That won’t be necessary,” Pei Qiqi said indifferently. Then, she turned to Li Ye, who was standing beside her, and said, “Alright, let’s go back to Desolate City.”
Zhu Han didn’t seem to be angered by her rigid attitude, but rather asked warmly, “You’re going back to Desolate City? We still have two vacant spots on our Rainbow Lightning. How about we give you a ride?”
“Let me put it this way,” Pei Qiqi answered coldly. “I don’t want to listen to you and I have no interest in traveling with you. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
The smile on Zhu Han’s face froze.
Wu Ling and Huang Yuan beside him were also embarrassed, not sure what to say to relieve the tension.
Even though Wu Ling had met Pei Qiqi and Li Ye before, they hadn’t spent much time together, and he thus wasn’t aware of Pei Qiqi’s notoriously bad temper.
Nie Tian tried hard not to laugh, as he was no stranger to Pei Qiqi’s strange temperament. She was the kind of girl who would never mince her words when facing people who she detested.
Zhu Han had targeted the wrong girl. Nothing good would ever come of him trying to play up to Pei Qiqi. He would only end up upset and frustrated.
“Let’s go, Li Ye. There’s not much to see here anyways, only annoying flies.” Pei Qiqi turned right around and walked off, not sparing Wu Ling and the others a glance.
“See you around, Senior Martial Brother Wu,” Li Ye said with a smile before he winked at Nie Tian and trotted after Pei Qiqi.
He could tell that his senior martial sister was already unhappy after seeing Nie Tian and Dong Li together. Coming over at such a bad time, Zhu Han could only blame himself for the poor timing.
Seeing that Pei Qiqi and Li Ye had started marching towards the end of the mountain valley in the direction of the Tool Sect and Desolate City, Nie Tian also moved out.
Since Dong Li had been clinging to his arm the entire time, as soon as he moved, Dong Li followed along. She turned around and bid farewell to Huang Yuan, “I hope I’ll see you again, little sister.”
She was the daughter of the Dong Clan’s clanmaster. The Dong Clan was the most influential power in the Realm of a Hundred Battles, whose reserve strength wasn’t any poorer than the Tool Sect’s.
Dong Li had been to countless important events and met with countless important people. Hence, she didn’t attach much significance to Wu Ling and Zhu Han, and she only bid farewell to Huang Yuan before she left.
Zhu Han gave a cold harrumph. “A woman too stupid to appreciate my favor!”
Huang Yuan chuckled softly. “I knew this would happen.”
