Chapter 41 : Princess Can Only Be A Maid 1 (1/2)
Chapter 41 : Princess Can Only Be A Maid (1)
This scene caused everyone to be stunned, and this included the Six Elders. Although they were the Elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, with their cultivation, the best they could do was to be given the title of Named Hero from counties.
Yu He was different; with the status of Grand Protector of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, he was an extremely powerful Royal Noble. He could even be granted the title of Enlightened Being.
This was why practitioners with lower cultivation levels than Yu He, like the Elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, didn’t have the qualification to stand side by side with him; because of this, their positions were already lowered by half.
The Six Elders respectfully greeted Yu He while the Grand Protector was speaking to Li Qi Ye with reverence; no one understood the events that were unraveling before their eyes.
What was even more incredible was that Yu He also brought a message from the Demon Emperor Lun Ri: that if Li Qi Ye, once again, became a guest at the Nine Saint Demon Gate, Lun Ri would personally greet him.
Who was the Demon Emperor Lun Ri? He was the mighty overlord of one direction; he could walk vertically and horizontally across the world. The Elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect could only stare from afar, and someone like Demon Emperor Lun Ri wanted to personally greet Li Qi Ye? This was an unimaginable matter.
(TL: Walking vertically and horizontally means that he could do whatever he wishes)
As for the other disciples, they were unable to think. At once, the people on the scene were standing frozen in place. However, they were even more shocked at the scene where Li Qi Ye naturally curved his left arm; Li Shuang Yan glared at him for a second, without saying anything. She then, gently, held Li Qi Ye’s arm, and she left with Li Qi Ye in a submissive manner.
“Protector Yu, I don’t have time to entertain you.”
Before leaving, Li Qi Ye only left behind one sentence while Yu He was bending his back to say goodbye.
No one in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect understood; none of them had any explanations for the things that had just happened. These events were so outside of their own imagination. The disciples, Elders, and Protectors were all petrified, and they could not recover for a long time.

While everyone was still flabbergasted, Li Qi Ye had brought Li Shuang Yan back to his ancient peak. Once they stepped inside the small house, where there were only the two of them, Li Shuang Yan withdrew her hand from Li Qi Ye.
She angrily narrowed her eyes at Li Qi Ye, and her cold and arrogant voice rang in the air:
“This time, are you satisfied?”
Li Qi Ye acted as if he didn’t see Li Shuang Yan’s attitude. He comfortably sat in a chair, and he looked at her, slowly saying:
“In front of everyone, do you think by grabbing my hand is akin to granting me a great honor? Satisfying my vanity? No, you are mistaken. This Li Qi Ye does not need such vain admirations.”
“The fact that I let you borrow my arm is my giving you three parts face…”
Li Qi Ye paused for a second, and his eyes became cold; he then spoke in a serious manner:
“I have always hid the shortcomings of the people by my side, and I have always protected them. Since you wanted to follow me, I gave you face by letting you hold my arm. This is so you could be proud! Strictly speaking, as my sword maid, you don’t have the status to hold my hand and walk alongside my shoulder; you need to remember this!”
“You!”
Li Shuang Yan was shaken with anger, and her face was deeply flushed with redness. She accepted the order to come to this place, to let go of her royal status; she patiently held the hand of this bastard, and she followed him in the presence of everyone. One could say that she gave him ten parts face. However, now, he dared to say these words. How could she not be angry?
“You have your pride, I can understand.”
Li Qi Ye did not acknowledge her anger, and he continued speaking:
“You were ordered by the Demon Emperor to come here, but, in your heart, you did not want to. You consider yourself to be a talented woman, a beloved daughter of the heavens, and you look at me with great contempt; you believe me to not be worthy of your attention for even a second – this is normal. However, remember these words, today, I let you hold my arm. This is to give you a good beginning. If you feel victimized by having to follow me, then that is your concern. The decision is yours; however, when comes the day of my sweeping this entire heaven and earth, there will be no place for you by my side!”
A thirteen year old boy, saying these most confident and arrogant words, even a prince coming from an ancient country would not make such a statement. However, today a thirteen year old boy said such dominating words.
If others said such a thing, then it would certainly be arrogance and ignorance. However, Li Shuang Yan looked at Li Qi Ye’s incomparably calm expression and his tone showed his confidence in saying the most arrogant words in the world. If it was another time, she would have thought of him as being presumptuous, ignorant, and the King of Ye Lang; however, now, she could not see this pattern in his appearance.
