Chapter 39 : Princess’s Arrival (1)
Li Qi Ye answered Nan Huai Ren:
“Of course. Now that the word is out, why change it!”
Protector Mo and Nan Huai Ren winked at each other, and Nan Huai Ren finally stuttered:
“B-bu-but she is the descendant of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, and the princess of the Old Ox country.”
“So what?”
Li Qi Ye was like an ancient well without waves, and calmly said:
“Little Nan Huai Ren still hasn’t reached the apex, he still has a lot of training to do.”
Nan Huai Ren and his master were silent, not knowing what to say. The words “So what?” were very short and simple, but what kind of arrogant attitude and confidence was required to say these words?
Li Shuang Yan wasn’t only the descendant of the Nine Saint Demon Gate and the princess of the Old Ox country, but she was also one of the geniuses possessing an Emperor Physique, Emperor Life Wheel, and Saint Fate Palace. She had incredibly great talents.
Whether it was talent or appearance, Li Shuang Yan was not below anyone in the Grand Middle Territory, or even the entirety of the Mortal Emperor World. There were enough men that wanted her love to make a line from the east to the south of the Old Ox country.
Even then, Li Qi Ye was not satisfied; she was only worthy of being his sword maid. If this news were to be spread, who knew how many men would want to kill Li Qi Ye.
Nan Huai Ren and Protector Mo had given up in front of Li Qi Ye’s arrogance; this was not the first time they’ve seen this. They only gently sighed, and didn’t dare to report this to the Six Elders, afraid that the Six Elders would be scared silly.
“Do the Elders know about this?”
Protector Mo shook his head:
“I have not reported this to the Elders. We have decided to wait until we spoke with you first before reporting to the Elders.”
Ever since their return to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect from the Nine Saint Demon Gate, the two, master and disciple, had to choose between Li Qi Ye and the Six Elders – and they chose Li Qi Ye. To others, this was an odd decision, but Protector Mo had thought it through.
“Then report it to the Elders!”
Li Qi Ye nodded this head without much care.
Even if people of this era valued the Nine Saint Demon Gate and Li Shuang Yan, to Li Qi Ye, they were nothing. No matter how talented Li Shuang Yan was, she still couldn’t compare to Immortal Emperor Xiu Shu that year!
***
After leaving Li Qi Ye’s peak, Protector Mo immediately reported the message to the First Elder. First Elder Gu couldn’t sit still when he heard this news.
“What, Princess Li is almost here?”
Compared to the nonchalant Li Qi Ye, the First Elder’s reaction showed a lot more shock.
After Protector Mo confirmed that the news was absolutely true, the First Elder walked back and forth in the room; his heart was extremely excited.
Protector Mo secretly sighed, this was the gap; Li Qi Ye had no reaction to the news whilst the First Elder was extremely serious and ecstatic. No doubt, the First Elder greatly valued the marriage between the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and the Nine Saint Demon Gate.
Finally, the First Elder calmed down and calmly commanded:
“Send the command to Li Qi Ye, tell him to prepare well to welcome the arrival of Princess Li.”
“Yes!”
Protector Mo accepted; he wasn’t foolish enough to tell the First Elder that he had already told Li Qi Ye first.
“Also inform all of the Elders, Protectors, and the rest of the disciples within the sect. We have to use the most solemn ceremony to greet the arrival of Princess Li. During this time, no one can make any mistakes, understand?”
The First Elder gravely commanded.
Protector Mo immediately accepted the order and didn’t say anything else. If this was before, then Protector Mo, like everyone else, would heavily value this marriage; but because of Li Qi Ye’s influence, his view on the grand scheme of things had changed. Like Li Qi Ye, he believed that becoming a subsidiary for the Nine Saint Demon Gate wasn’t a permanent solution. Only strength itself was the fundamental path.
Of course, Protector Mo was also clear that the current Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was lacking an upper echelon that could independently deal with all of the dangers – that had enough strength to reignite the sect.
“Princess Li coming to our sect is one thing, but what about the issue of the marriage?”
