Chapter 1189: Ye Tu
A little courtyard was located in this trench. The seawater steered clear from it, revealing old green tiles. One glance was enough to tell that this little home had been built a long time ago.
Li Qiye went inside to find a young man lazily basking in the sun. He looked a little over twenty, but despite his young age, he had an aura of sophistication and maturity.
The young man immediately stood up when Li Qiye approached. He cupped his fists and smiled: “May I ask what you are here for, Sir?”
Li Qiye looked him up and down before speaking: “You are a disciple of the Void Imperfection School, correct?”
The youth answered right away: “Yes, my name is Ye Tu from the Charming Spirit Race, the Void Imperfection supervisor of the Shallow Beach Branch.”
Li Qiye insipidly revealed: “I know, charming spirits make up the majority at the three schools and have been in control for generations. The demon boss at the inn is an exception, a disciple like that is quite rare in your sect.”
“Ah.” Ye Tu smiled and said: “Sir, you must be talking about my senior uncle. He likes to play around.”
He looked at the youth and declared: “I want to visit the Void Imperfection School. It is good that you are the supervisor here, let me in so I won’t have to barge in myself.”
Ye Tu scratched his head in response: “May I ask for your name, Sir?”
“Li Qiye.” Li Qiye calmly answered: “There’s no need to tell you my race, right?”
“Li Qiye…” When Ye Tu heard this name, he was shocked to the point where he almost jumped. He took a careful look at Li Qiye.
“Are you wondering why I don’t have the aura of an imperial bloodline?” Li Qiye nonchalantly spoke after noticing the youth’s reaction.
“Well…” Ye Tu rubbed his palms and coughed before smiling: “I wouldn’t dare. It is just that my vision is lacking and can’t see through Brother Li at all.”
“Your choice of words isn’t bad.” Li Qiye smiled: “Did Golden Isle inform your schools?”
“We received their message not long ago.” The youth replied: “I heard Brother Li had left Golden Isle, so the elders there asked our Charming Spirit Race to keep an eye out and help you if necessary.”
The Void Imperfection Three Schools were lineages of charming spirits while Golden Isle was a treant lineage. Logically speaking, Golden Isle should have informed the treants first.
There was a reason why Golden Isle did it this way. It was because the charming spirits were even more eager than them to marry humans with noble bloodlines. In fact, they married more humans than the sea demons and treants added together.
“As their groom?” Li Qiye laughed. He understood their hidden intentions.
“Ah, I heard you haven’t married the golden daughter from the isle yet, correct?” Ye Tu smiled and immediately brought a chair for Li Qiye to sit in.
Golden Isle informed them in order to let the three schools know that Li Qiye was already their groom and to not compete for this bloodline with them!
In fact, at the Jade Sea, the behemoths like the three schools had received a lot of information. For example, Li Qiye, with his imperial bloodline, had been kidnapped by someone.
Li Qiye sat down cooly without any reservation. Meanwhile, Ye Tu was very enthusiastic and showed good hospitality as well.
“It is our honor to have Brother Li here at Shallow Beach. I represent the beach to thank you for granting us this chance…” Ye Tu quickly poured some tea for Li Qiye, playing his part as a good host.
Li Qiye smiled after hearing the flattering words. He touched his chin and leisurely mused: “I never thought I had such charm before.”
“Brother Li is a master the likes of which rarely appears. A meeting with you has to be the blessing of fate. Despite your noble status, you have no hint of arrogance…” The youth smiled.
Li Qiye took a sip and asked: “So? You want to betroth your senior sister or your junior sister to me?”
“Er—” Ye Tu had no response to Li Qiye’s directness. After a while, he grinned: “If you are willing to be our guest at the Void Imperfection School, you can have your pick.”
