Chapter 1143: Old Devil’s Past

While Li Qiye was deep in thought, Gu Tieshou hesitated for a moment and didn’t know whether he should speak up. He had a question but didn’t dare to ask.

Li Qiye noticed his demeanor, so he smiled: “Elder, we are not outsiders, so you can just speak your mind.”

Gu Tieshou chuckled awkwardly with an embarrassed expression. He rubbed his palms together and asked: “Virtuous Nephew, hmm, about this… Ah, oh, the other elders in the sect, they are very curious, so, so they asked me to ask…”

Gu Tieshou didn’t know how to phrase this delicate matter.

“Elder Gu, go ahead.” Li Qiye smiled.

Gu Tieshou took a deep breath and calmed down before looking at Li Qiye with a serious expression: “Virtuous Nephew, are you the descendant of our patriarch?”

“You and the other elders are thinking too much.” Li Qiye knew what he was thinking and laughed.

Gu Tieshou was still as awkward as before: “Well, the elders think that you are either the patriarch’s direct descendant or perhaps even an imperial prince who was sealed.”

The older generation of the sect felt that Li Qiye was Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s descendant. He could even be a sealed child from the emperor.

No one would doubt if Li Qiye came out right now and claimed to be the emperor’s son.

Li Qiye burst out into laughter and shook his head: “Elder, you are overthinking it. I am not Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s descendant and definitely not his son.”

Gu Tieshou could only smile awkwardly in response. He actually hoped that Li Qiye would be related to the emperor somehow.

He had to ask: “Then what about the Benevolent Armament?”

For millions of years now, no one had heard of this Benevolent Armament. Moreover, the triangular building had always been there. No one was able to connect with it, let alone control it. But now, Li Qiye had used it freely at his whim.

Thus, it was understandable to think that outside of the emperor himself, only his son would be able to use the Benevolent Armament.

Li Qiye smilingly said: “The armor was waiting for the fateful ones. It has been buried deep underground. When the right person comes again, it shall show itself once more.”

He didn’t need to explain this armor clearly because Gu Tieshou didn’t know that despite its name, it didn’t have a lot to do with Immortal Emperor Min Ren; he was not the one who refined it.

Back when Li Qiye couldn’t come up with a good name, the emperor had already worn it to battle. From then on, people called it the “Benevolent Armament.” Li Qiye had no problems with this name, so he didn’t change it afterward.

Eventually, Gu Tieshou stopped bothering Li Qiye and bowed before leaving.

“Is Old Devil still here?” Li Qiye asked: “Tell him to come here, and Mu Shaohuang too.”

Gu Tieshou’s heart jumped out of confusion after hearing this. It was clear that he lacked the knowledge about their relationships.

Old Devil Mu Shaodi was their ancestor. With regards to status, Li Qiye should be calling him ancestor, but strangely enough, Old Devil listened to Li Qiye’s commands. This was a chaotic mess that Gu Tieshou couldn’t figure out at all.

“I, I will go consult the ancestor.” What else could he say? He was several generations below Old Devil.

In fact, the entire sect was still dumbfounded at the moment. Both elders and ordinary disciples couldn’t believe that the perverted Old Devil was their most powerful ancestor, Mu Shaodi.

In the past, one elder had proposed to expel Old Devil from the sect, lest he stains the sect’s reputation even more. But now, after finding out that he was an ancestor, many people broke out in cold sweat.
