Legend Of The Perfect Emperor - Chapter 73
Zi Chen pointed at Li Qinqin with trembling hands, his gaze mesmerized by her smooth, open neck that was glistened with water.
“Y-You fucking slut!” he yelled in a tone that was oddly tuned. “The sect is a place for disciples to learn, not a place for you to bring outsiders to mingle!”
Li Qinqin frowned at Zi Chen’s cussing, but she was no longer as hotheaded as before and managed to stay decently calm. “You barged into a young maiden’s living quarters just to call her a slut? Are you really a man?”
She then turned to look at Zi Yuhan. “Li Qinqin greets Disciplinary Elder,” she bowed to him despite having her doors kicked down by him. “For what reason does Disciplinary Elder have to be here today?”
Zi Yuhan nodded at her greetings, “I am not here for you, but this intruder over here. If you do not wish to be a part of this, leave through the doors behind me,” he said.
“What? Father!” Zi Chen looked at this father with surprise. “She should be punished too”
“Shut up!” Zi Yuhan said loudly, and Zi Chen slammed his jaw shut, nearly biting his tongue off.
Zi Yuhan narrowed his eyes at Li Qinqin. “I don’t care about the relationship between the two of you, but I will deal with him for intruding today. I will act as though you were not a part of this if you say nothing of this after today. Scram, before I punish you, too!”
Li Qinqin looked at Tian Yi and then back to Zi Yuhan. “I willingly brought him here, so I will bear all of the responsibility!” she said seriously as she stood in front of the Tian Yi.
Zi Yuhan frowned. The only reason he was willing to let her off easy was mainly because of Li Liling. Although he wasn’t scared of a mere disciple like Li Liling, the Sect Master behind her was someone he would not be willing to offend even if he had to kiss the dirt.
“Are you serious?” Zi Yuhan stared at her with killing intent, hoping that would be enough to frighten her away. “You will hinder your elder sister’s cultivation because of your selfishness,” he said.
Li Qinqin trembled when her elder sister was mentioned, but she had already decided to take responsibility. “I will not leave here and let him suffer alone no matter what you say,” she said in a resolute voice.
Zi Yuhan was now furious. For an Outer Court Disciple like Li Qinqin to ignore his generosity was a big slap to his face.
“Good! Then you can only blame yourself for whatever is about to happen!” Yi Yuhan said in a low growl, and he flipped his palms to make a sword appear out of thin air.
Zi Chen who was sulking just seconds ago was now excited after hearing that his father’s words. ‘After he deals with that bastard, I’ll take my time to slowly deal with you!’ he looked at Li Qinqin with lust in his gaze, grinning inwardly.
Li Qinqin bit her lips. It was impossible for her to protect herself against Zi Chen’s cultivation, let alone Zi Yuhan, a Disciplinary Elder with a cultivation base at the 9th level of Origin Realm, doubling Zi Chen in cultivation levels and more than triple his strength!
“I will give you one last chance to get the hell away from him!” Zi Yuhan said whilst pointing the sword in his hands at her, the aura around him overflowing with a threatening feeling.
Li Qinqin began trembling upon feeling the pressure released by Zi Yuhan, her bladder nearly giving up on her. The difference between her, a disciple at the second level of Origins Realm and Zi Yuhan, a Disciplinary Elder at the ninth level of Origin Realm.
Even Zi Chen could not help but step away from Zi Yuhan because of the horrifying pressure.
However, despite being scared, Li Qinqin stood in front of Tian Yi as though she was a frozen statue.
Her gratitude towards Tian Yi was something neither Zi Chen nor Zi Yuhan could comprehend.
Tian Yi, despite knowing about her worthless talent, still decided to share with her that peerless treasured tea that allowed her to clean her impurities, giving her an enormous boost in the cultivation path and passing countless others who have yet cleansed their impurities.
In her eyes, what Tian Yi did was simply wasting a peerless treasure by sharing it with her, someone disdained by the majority in the sect because of her worthless talent, and her special identity as the younger sister of Li Liling, the genius cultivator of Dragon Gate Sect.
Treasures that helped cultivators cleanse the impurities within their body are extremely rare and heavenly resources that even the strongest cultivators in the world would die for, and Tian Yi, just to thank her, gave her something that precious without even blinking an eye.
Tian Yi’s act kindness to Li Qinqin who would beat herself until she was half dead every day just to increase her cultivation slightly was something that she could not return even if she spent her entire life trying.
“I will not move even if I die today!” Li Qinqin’s eyes glowed brightly, and her trembling stopped. Her determination to bear responsibility for bringing Tian Yi into the sect was as strong, if not even strong than her determination to cultivate!
Zi Yuhan’s eyes widened in surprise when he noticed Li Qinqin’s trembling stopped. Did his pressure stop working on her, a cultivator at the mere second level of Origin Realm? Impossible!
Not willing to accept the fact that his pressure had no effect on a mere outer court disciple, he took a step forward, and his cultivation base exploded!
Woosh!
The release of Zi Yuhan’s cultivation base created a gust in the room that wreaked havoc. The wooden table and chairs were destroyed instantly, and the walls tore apart as though it was done with swords.
Li Qinqin kneeled on the floor with pain in her chest from Zi Yuhan’s full cultivation base.
She knew that there was a big difference between her and Zi Yuhan, but she didn’t expect it to be this wide of a gap.
Tian Yi sighed at the situation. He did not expect things to get this out of hand when he first entered the sect with Li Qinqin.
Feeling guilty for causing her trouble because of his selfishness, Tian Yi stepped forward and gently waved his fan once and the gust in the room ceased instantly.
“?!?!?!” Zi Yuhan’s eyes widened in shock; he was unable to comprehend what had just happened.
“I apologize for intruding your sect,” said Tian Yi with clasped hands. “I did not think my curiosity would bring so much trouble to everyone here.”
Zi Yuhan was surprised. He did not expect Tian Yi to be so calm in this situation, even apologizing to him. “It’s too late to apologize now, kid!” he snorted coldly. “I will bring you back to the Disciplinary Pavilion and quietly deal with you there!”
Tian Yi shook his head. “My curiosity got the best of me, but I do not regret it,” he said calmly.
“Y-You!” Zi Yuhan was dumbfounded by his words. Does he really feel sorry for his actions?
Tian Yi turned to look at Li Qinqin. “I apologize for causing you so much trouble,” he said with a bitter expression.
Li Qinqin shook her head and said, “No; it was a pleasure for me to be troubled by you.”
His bitter expression softened, and he said with a gentle smile, “Then, I’d like to apologize in advance for whatever trouble I am about to cause you and your sect”
Li Qinqin widened her eyes with surprise, but she did not reply to him, only nodding.
Tian Yi smiled, and he turned around to face the red-faced Zi Yuhan.
“Are you done with your couple-talk? Because that will be the last one you will ever have after today!” Zi Yuhan said coldly.
Tian Yi tilted his head at his words. He did not understand the meaning of ‘couple-talk’.
“Neither of your souls are foul enough for me to kill in the name of Heaven and I cannot comprehend the reasons for your actions” he said slowly as he casually glanced at the father and son pair. “So can either of you enlighten me? Why is this sect treating one of its own as though she does not belong here? Aren’t disciples supposed to help each other? Why do you seem to want to harm her? Is this really what a sect is supposed to be?”
Tian Yi asked the two many questions in a puzzled tone, dumbfounding them who could not comprehend his reason for asking these questions.
“Hey” Tian Yi took a step towards them, and the two took one step backward unconsciously. “Tell me, won’t you?”
Zi Yuhan could feel his back covered with cold sweat from the invisible pressure surrounding Tian Yi. He didn’t even know why he was feeling fear toward the young man in front of him! Logic says that there was no reason for him to fear Tian Yi, yet his soul was screaming with unimaginable terror!
He wanted to turn and run, but alas, his body would not listen, and he continued to stand there with his feet rooted to the floor as the young man in front of him take another step towards him!
