In the capital city street, Li Ziye and Yan Xiaoyu met for the first time, and it didn’t seem very friendly.
At least, Yan Xiaoyu didn’t like Li Ziye very much.
Of course, Li Ziye didn’t like Yan Xiaoyu either, or rather, he disliked all men who were more handsome than him.
Except for the lovely Little Red Riding Hood.
In the middle of the street, the procession of the Divine Temple rumbled past. Beside the carriage, the high priestess of the Divine Temple, Liu Rongnü, walked silently. If it weren’t for the conspicuous red robe, no one would believe that this withered old person was actually an unparalleled expert who had opened five divine hidden techniques.
“Liu Rongnü.”
Behind the crowd, Bai Wangyu saw the old man beside Yan Xiaoyu’s carriage at first sight, and his expression became serious.
“Is that old man the high priest of the Divine Temple?”
Li Ziye followed Little Red Riding Hood’s gaze and then asked in surprise.
It really didn’t look like it. This old man’s appearance was not even as good as his family’s Sword Enthusiast, Slovenly Zhang.
“Brother Li, keep your voice down!”
Bai Wangyu’s expression changed slightly at the words and said, “The great cultivators of the Fifth Realm have far superior perception. They can hear what we say.”
Sure enough, as soon as the two finished speaking, Liu Rongnü’s gaze turned towards them, and a dazzling light burst from her old eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Wangyu’s expression changed, and he pulled Li Ziye behind him, and a powerful righteous aura surged around him.
“Boom!”
The next moment, a violent impact erupted. Bai Wangyu’s body shook, and he took a step back, a trace of blood quietly sliding from the corner of Little Red Riding Hood’s mouth.
“Old Bai!”
Seeing this, Li Ziye’s expression changed, and he stepped forward. When he saw the bloodstain at the corner of Little Red Riding Hood’s mouth, a rare hint of anger appeared on his face.
Too much!
Li Ziye’s gaze turned to Liu Rongnü in the Divine Temple procession, and his eyes blazed with anger, his fists clenched tightly.
How dare they be so arrogant in his Great Shang? The Divine Temple was truly lawless.
“Oh?”
Beside the carriage, Liu Rongnü felt the young man’s angry gaze and showed a look of surprise. She knew that he was a great cultivator of the Fifth Realm, yet he dared to respond so brazenly. This kid had some courage.
On the carriage, at this moment, Yan Xiaoyu also recognized Bai Wangyu’s appearance, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
So, it’s the senior disciple of the Confucian School. I didn’t expect him to be here too.
“Brother Li, don’t.”
Behind the crowd, Bai Wangyu reached out and grabbed Li Ziye, shaking his head and saying softly, “We were rude first. The envoys of the Divine Temple have come from afar as guests, and we must not be disrespectful.”
Li Ziye frowned lightly at the words, then withdrew his gaze, and said with an unprecedented seriousness, “Old Bai, I promise you that I will help you get back today’s situation in the future, and I will not let you suffer this loss in vain.”
Bai Wangyu looked at the unprecedentedly serious expression on the young man’s face in front of him, and was first stunned. After a moment, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, “I believe in you, Brother Li.”
A breeze blew by, and the two of them simultaneously withdrew their gazes. The solemn atmosphere that had just been established was instantly shattered.
Disgusting!
Li Ziye pinched his thigh, feeling scared. Was he going to bend?
Beside him, Bai Wangyu’s mouth twitched, silently reciting the scriptures of the sages.
“Forget it, etiquette is for civilized people. Since others are uncivilized, why bother with etiquette.”
At this moment, an old voice sounded in everyone’s ears, like thunder, shocking everyone present.
“Confucian Scholar!”
At this moment, everyone, including the Third Prince, Liu Rongnü, and Yan Xiaoyu, had their expressions changed.
After hearing this voice, Bai Wangyu’s expression also became serious, and he immediately bowed as a disciple.
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?”
Only Li Ziye didn’t understand what was going on. Where did this voice come from, and why did these people react so strongly?
The next moment, a surging righteous aura erupted between heaven and earth, and a powerful force exploded.
“Poof!”
In the Divine Temple procession, Liu Rongnü spat out a mouthful of blood and took several steps back.
At once, everyone present was shocked.
The Third Prince Mu Yao and the Divine Child Yan Xiaoyu looked towards the direction of the Imperial Academy, their faces filled with astonishment.
They really didn’t expect the Confucian Scholar to make a move here.
“Liu Rongnü, you’re so old, yet you’re still so petty. Bullying two juniors, don’t you feel ashamed!”
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the voice of the Confucian Scholar resounded, echoing between heaven and earth.
“Confucian Scholar!”
Liu Rongnü stabilized her figure, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and clenched her fists.
Behind the crowd, Li Ziye also realized who had made the move at this moment, and an excited look appeared on his face.
The big shot is finally going to show up. Is he going to take over everything?
Fight!
Fight!
He could take advantage of the chaos to snatch his Medicine King.
And ask the Confucian Scholar if Old Qin is in the Imperial Academy.
However, to Li Ziye’s disappointment, after the Confucian Scholar reprimanded Liu Rongnü, he did not continue to make a move, nor did he show any intention of appearing.
And Liu Rongnü didn’t dare to provoke him in the slightest, swallowing her anger and saying nothing more.
The Divine Temple procession silently continued forward, clearly much more restrained this time.
“Confucian Scholar, where is my master? Please let her go!”
Seeing that the conflict didn’t erupt and the Confucian Scholar didn’t show up, Li Ziye became a little anxious and shouted towards the direction of the Imperial Academy.
Beside him, Bai Wangyu was startled and quickly pulled the young man beside him, indicating that he shouldn’t be disrespectful.
Everyone present looked over after hearing Li Ziye’s shout.
Liu Rongnü remained silent and didn’t dare to make any further moves.
On the carriage, Yan Xiaoyu looked at the young man beside Bai Wangyu and furrowed his brow again. Who is this person, and how dare he speak to the Confucian Scholar like that?Moreover, Bai Wangyu had always been protecting him, suggesting an unusual relationship. Could it be that this youth was a member of the Great Shang Royal Family?
However, each prince of the Great Shang had their records in the Divine Temple, and he had seen their portraits; this person did not seem to be among them.
If not a prince, could he be a noble relative of the emperor or the heir of a Martial King?
Yan Xiaoyu’s mind raced with thoughts, but he couldn’t figure out the identity of the youth beside Bai Wangyu.
Amidst the crowd, Li Ziye felt the gazes of the people around him but remained indifferent, his eyes fixed on the direction of the Imperial Academy, awaiting the Confucian Scholar’s response.
He was genuinely worried about his Fairy master.
However, the Confucian Scholar seemed not to have heard Li Ziye’s questioning and did not respond.
Anxious, Li Ziye grew impatient.
Beside him, Bai Wangyu saw Li Ziye about to explode and quickly grabbed him, saying, “Brother Li, the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal should be fine, don’t worry!”
“Confucian Scholar!”
Ignoring the little red hat’s persuasion, Li Ziye continued to shout, “Give me an answer!”
On the streets, the crowd looked at the somewhat crazed youth at the back with puzzled expressions.
Who was this person, mad enough to be so disrespectful to the Confucian Scholar?
Amidst the attention of the crowd, Li Ziye anxiously awaited the Confucian Scholar’s response.
He believed the Confucian Scholar could hear him, but why was there no answer? Could it be that something had really happened to his Fairy master?
The more he thought, the more worried and fearful he became, until Li Ziye could no longer hold back and, shaking off Bai Wangyu’s hand, he shouted angrily, “Old man, can’t you even fart?”
The street fell silent in an instant.
Even the people in the Divine Temple procession were startled and stopped in their tracks.
Beside Li Ziye, Bai Wangyu’s face turned pale with fear, sweating coldly, worried that the Confucian Scholar would strike and slap this fellow to death.
In the Imperial Academy, within the small courtyard to the east.
Kong Qiu, upon hearing Li Ziye’s disrespectful words, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Your disciple really has guts!”
“He is a bit anxious.”
Qin E’nuo commented, feeling somewhat touched.
She knew that although Li Ziye was lawless, he was an extremely clever person who understood the esteemed status of the Confucian Scholar.
His loss of composure was probably due to genuine concern for her safety.
“This young man is not bad; you haven’t misjudged him.”
Kong Qiu smiled and said, “Plum Blossom Sword Immortal, you should respond yourself, don’t let your disciple worry too much.”
“Mhm.”
Qin E’nuo nodded, her delicate hand waved, and the Frost ancient sword unsheathed in response, causing the temperature to drop sharply as time seemed to freeze.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Frost sword tore through the void, and a dazzling and powerful sword qi burst forth, flying towards the distance.
Instantly, all the martial artists in the Capital City felt it, looking up at the sky with shocked expressions.
Sword qi!
On the street, within the Divine Temple procession, Liu Rongnü sensed the astonishing sword qi in the sky, her expression changing once again.
The sword qi was as cold as frost; it was the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal!
On the carriage, Yan Xiaoyu also recognized the owner of the sword, his expression becoming solemn.
The Plum Blossom Sword Immortal was also in the Capital City of Great Shang.
“Fairy master!”
From behind the crowd, Li Ziye felt the familiar sword qi and showed an excited expression.
Thank goodness, Old Qin was fine.
Beside him, Bai Wangyu also breathed a sigh of relief. With the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal unharmed, Brother Li could calm down and not continue his frenzy.
He had been genuinely worried that the Confucian Scholar would not be able to resist slapping this youngster to death.
“The Plum Blossom Sword Immortal has made a move, could it be that the youth is…”
At that moment, on the carriage, Yan Xiaoyu seemed to have realized something, his gaze shifting towards Li Ziye behind the crowd, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The legitimate son of the Li Family from Yuzhou City, Li Ziye!
So, he was Li Ziye, the direct disciple of the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal.
My apologies.
Yan Xiaoyu’s lips curved into a cold smile; it seemed his trip to the Capital City of Great Shang wouldn’t be too dull after all.
Behind the crowd, knowing that Old Qin was safe, Li Ziye relaxed and calmed down, looking at the people around him with a grin, he said, “Sorry for the outburst, I have hysteria and can go mad unpredictably, please excuse my behavior.”
After speaking, Li Ziye pulled the little red hat beside him and hurriedly left.
Embarrassing, indeed!
At the front of the Divine Temple procession, the Third Prince Mu Yao watched Li Ziye’s departing figure, his eyes flickering with intrigue.
This heir of the Li Family kept shattering his expectations time and again.
Unconventional and utterly without decorum, if he couldn’t be won over, he would be a troublesome opponent indeed.
The Yin Family Money House and the Merchant Alliance were truly useless, only knowing how to fight amongst themselves, incapable of handling even the smallest of matters.
“Divine Child.”
Beside the carriage, Liu Rongnü spoke, her voice hoarse, “If there’s a chance, eliminate this person. I have a premonition that this child will become a great trouble for the Divine Temple in the future.”
“I understand.”
Yan Xiaoyu nodded, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
Those who do not follow the rules should not exist in this world.
The God of Light does not like it.
Neither does he!
