Chapter 42 : Princess Can Only Be A Maid 2 (2/2)
This eternally invincible ancient formation; a formation that, once completed, would be bathed in the blood of many masters. Many immortal sages and himself spent their blood and sweat to create this formation.
In the devastating war against the Ancient Ming, for the Mortal World and all of the Human race, numerous masters had died in this formation. He controlled the grand formation, side by side with his brothers, generals, and comrades, to fight a heaven shattering battle; blood painted the sky.
He did not remember how many people had died on the battlefield, nor how many peerless masters that followed him had been sacrificed. He only remembered his pain, in silence, after the battle.
Time could erase everything, and time could heal all wounds; however, some memories could not be forgotten even through the passing of time because they are imprinted in the deepest part of the soul, never to be forgotten.
Li Qi Ye sighed, and he regained his composure. He did not allow himself to drown in emotions and indulge in the sentimental past. The past had passed, and the present was worth living. In this life, he would have the chance to traverse the Nine Worlds and personally repay some old scores; not only for himself, but for the people that had sacrificed themselves for him as well.

Li Shuang Yan’s visit to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was an important event; not only did it make the young male disciples sleepless, but it also made the upper echelon excited.
Only Li Qi Ye acted like nothing major had happened. He didn’t care whether Li Shuang Yan was going to leave or stay; if she was willing to pledge allegiance to him, then, in the future, he would reserve a spot for her next to him. If not, then so be it. He would not be missing capable assistants. Even without her, he could find a substitute; it was this simple!
This night, Li Shuang Yan was with a stomach filled with angry steam. Her teeth grinded, and she silently cursed Li Qi Ye. She didn’t stay in Li Qi Ye’s small mansion, and she also didn’t leave this place; however, she chose to create a small treasure building down from the corner of Li Qi Ye’s peak, and she entered inside. Although she did not live with Li Qi Ye, she also didn’t leave his peak.
With the arrival of Li Shuang Yan and Yu He, the biggest harvest was gained by Protector Mo and Nan Huai Ren because they were in charge of the entire trip for Yu He and his people at the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
This was no minor event because they could work alongside a Royal Noble like Yu He; they could ask him many questions about cultivation and his experience – this was a big benefit. The most essential thing was still Li Qi Ye’s words that allowed for Protector Mo’s and Nan Huai Ren’s positions to elevate greatly within the sect.
Yu He obeyed Li Qi Ye’s order, and he left everything for Protector Mo and Nan Huai Ren to decide. They became the special envoys between the two sects.
One has to remember that before disciples, and even the Six Elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect wouldn’t necessarily be able to meet Grand Protector Yu He. However, now, simple organizers like Nan Huai Ren and Protector Mo could directly meet with Yu He to discuss events; this meant that the relationship between the two sects had became more intimate.
The improved status of Nan Huai Ren and Protector Mo; this left many Protectors, Sectional Leaders, the third generation disciples, and even the second generation envious.
Despite all of the commotion, Li Qi Ye did not care. The most important thing to him right now was to refine his Dao foundation, not allowing any room for mistakes, and carefully cultivate towards flawless perfection. Once there was a mistake, this small mistake would be a fatal danger on the road of cultivation; especially when he faces the time of Life Reduction and the Fate Calamity. As long as his base was solid, with a strong Dao foundation, then in the future, he could go farther; he could exceed the apex.
(TL: Life Reduction is when the Life Wheel weakens, Fate Calamity is a fated time of calamity)
Many geniuses wanted to rush their cultivation ranking and they neglected their refinement of the Dao foundation; rushing for success caused the Dao foundation to have defects. In the end, they died in regrets during the moments of Life Reduction and the Fate Calamity.
This was why Li Qi Ye’s expectation for himself was very high. Even though the peerless Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law could increase his cultivation speed, he still limited its effect for a solid foundation. If he stopped his own suppression, then he could easily break through into the Inner Longevity rank.
(TL: Reminder: Palace Foundation, Palace Expansion, Yun Physique, Provision Palace, Inner Longevity, Heaven’s Mandate, Warrior Canopy, Purified Rebirth, Heaven’s Primal, True Deity)

Li Shuang Yan had stayed at the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect for seven days. Time had passed without any incidents, but this morning, Nan Huai Ren visited Li Qi Ye’s peak along with a middle-aged man.
“Senior, this person is Sectional Leader Zhou, an instructor at Cleansing Jade Peak.”
Nan Huai Ren immediately introduced the man to Li Qi Ye.
His senior only glanced at Sectional Leader Zhou once, and he nodded his head:
“What is the matter?”
Li Qi Ye’s attitude was arrogant in the eyes of Sectional Leader Zhou, and his heart was uncomfortable. He coldly scowled, but he didn’t say another sentence.
Nan Huai Ren quickly replied:
“The Elder has decided that senior will temporarily replace Sectional Leader Zhou as the instructor of Cleansing Jade Peak. Today, Sectional Leader Zhou brought along a list of disciples of the Cleansing Jade Peak, as well as detailed information regarding them. The Elders hoped that senior would accept this decision.”
Sectional Leader Zhou was just silently listening. He, a Sectional Leader, was meeting him but Li Qi Ye didn’t show him any respect. He left the roster behind, and he then turned away without leaving any words or reminders behind.
