Chapter 955: Tiger Hill

Li Qiye’s words attracted the attention of many bystanders. The cultivators who were annoyed at the Blood-devil Tribe for stopping them but didn’t dare to do anything were secretly cheering Li Qiye on. They felt that his retort was way too cool and they secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Some also stared at him in astonishment. This ordinary-looking junior had such a big tone! To dare to provoke the Blood-devils like this… They wondered whether he was a hidden master or just didn’t know the immensity of the heaven and earth.

Si Yuanyuan, on the other hand, smiled wryly. She hadn’t known Li Qiye for too long, but it seemed that he wasn’t afraid of offending people. He didn’t put anyone in his eyes, so now he provoked the Blood-devils right away.

The guarding disciples were enraged. In their eyes, this public audacity from a junior was shaming their tribe. They must teach this brat a lesson to protect the prestige of their tribe!

“So presumptuous!” A cold laughter sounded right after. A young man came forward while shouldering a sword that had a soaring sharp aura!

He glared at Li Qiye and uttered: “This marquis also wants to see who you are, daring to humiliate our Blood-devil Tribe like this! Junior, reveal your name! I will not kill a nobody!”

“Marquis…” The disciples guarding the entrance immediately bowed respectfully to the newcomer.

“Pureblood School’s Swiftsword Marquis!” A cultivator at the base quivered after seeing the young man.

Another murmured: “If the Swiftsword Marquis is here, then Chi Tianyu is most likely at the platform right now.”

This young man was called the Swiftsword Marquis. He came from the Pureblood School and was Chi Tianyu’s junior brother. People say that his quick draw was extremely fast. The moment his sword left its scabbard, would be the same moment someone’s head would fly.

“Li Qiye.” Li Qiye slowly uttered his name.

The Swiftsword Marquis wondered for a moment before sneering: “I thought it would be someone cool, but it is just Schoolmaster Ye’s errand boy! No wonder your tone is so haughty!”

“Errand boy?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but chuckle after hearing this. It was indeed refreshing.

“So it’s that Li Qiye! I heard he has been following Schoolmaster Ye all the time. No wonder why he is so arrogant, he has the schoolmaster as his backing.” The cultivators here pointed at him and commented.

However, Li Qiye was completely indifferent to the whispers. He leisurely stood there and didn’t bother dispelling the misunderstanding of him being an errand boy.

The Swiftsword Marquis coldly spoke: “Schoolmaster Ye is worthy of admiration, but this isn’t a place where an errand boy like you can come and run wild!”

“I’ll run wild wherever I feel like.” Li Qiye lazily told the marquis: “Come if you aren’t convinced.”

With that, he didn’t bother taking another glimpse at the marquis. He turned and headed for the hill.

The guarding disciples immediately blocked his path while the marquis’ eyes flashed with a murderous glint!

“Schoolmaster Ye is an invited honored guest. If Young Noble Li is together with Schoolmaster Ye, he can also come to the Dragon Platform.” A pleasant voice appeared at this time.

A sweet fragrance traveled with the wind. A woman appeared and the disciples from the Blood-devil Tribe, including the marquis, all bowed to greet her.

“Half-moon Princess!” A spectator shuddered. Another murmured: “If the princess is here as well, then it seems like all the geniuses of the Blood-devil Tribe have gathered here today.”

Since the princess spoke on Li Qiye’s behalf, even the marquis didn’t dare to say anything. In terms of status and position, the princess was on the same level as his senior brother, Chi Tianyu!

However, she didn’t help Li Qiye because she was a nice person or wanted to befriend him. It was because of Ye Chuyun!

In her view, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. For this dao discussion taking place on the Dragon Platform, both Chi Tianyu and Ye Chuyun were invited. Naturally, the princess didn’t want Chi Tianyu and Ye Chuyun to have a chance of being together.

If a rival like Li Qiye was stuck between these two, then Chi Tianyu wouldn’t have an opportunity to get closer to Ye Chuyun.
