Chapter 2295
Li Qiye gazed at the other side of the river . His eyes narrowed with enough acuity to see through everything .
“Storm, no storm, storm, no storm…” A soft whisper came about after he finished looking .
He turned and saw a girl standing in an inconspicuous part of the lake . She wore a simple, gray dress with an old iron sword tied to her back .
She wore no make-up and couldn’t be considered extremely beautiful . Nevertheless, there existed a graceful bearing and a pretty pair of eyes full of determination . This culminated in an unyielding aura .
Her hair was loosely tied to the back . As the wind fluttered by, some loose strands flitted on her face .
She was holding a flower and began taking off the petal while counting quietly: “Storm, no storm, storm, no storm…”
This was a sort of divination and it amused Li Qiye . He said: “There will be a storm today, and a big one at that, no need to test your luck . ”
The girl isolated herself from the group so she was surprised to hear someone speaking to her . She became embarrassed since her silly act was exposed . She took one step back and quietly said with her head hanging low: “I’ll, I’ll come back tomorrow then . ”
“I’m afraid it will last for a while . ” He shook his head .
The girl looked over at the lake, overwhelmed with emotions - hesitation, helplessness, and unwillingness .
Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t say anything else .
The silence was interrupted by loud footsteps . Another group came to the shore with an oppressive aura, forcing everyone to make way for them .
They had the same uniform; weapon of choice was a longsword, clearly from the same sect . The leading member was a young woman, pretty and flirtatious with incredible curves . Moreover, her gown was an imperial one, showing off her noble status .
“People from Sword Grave System . ” People were startled with whispers: “That’s Regional Princess Xia, a younger cousin of the Sword Sovereign . ”
“Looks like the Sword Sovereign will come too then . ” Even the older cultivators were surprised to see the woman .
This regional princess immediately looked around and noticed the girl who played with the flower petals earlier .
“Oh? Isn’t that the daughter of the Ling? You also came to Moneyfall, how unexpected . ” She smiled and said .
The other girl wanted to leave after seeing this group but the princess had already spotted her .
“I’m only here to take a look . ” She started with her head slightly drooping but eventually mustered enough courage to look straight at the princess . The girl was clearly afraid .
“The Ling Clan?” Some older cultivators looked at this girl right away .
“Moneyfall requires money every step of the way, looks like you have spent quite a lot . ” The princess said with a mocking tone despite keeping up a friendly facade .
“I can handle it . ” The girl spoke with little confidence .
“It’s not that simple . ” The princess shook her head: “Where are you going? Perhaps we are going the same way . ”
“I’m, I’m just looking around . ” The girl avoided the princess’ eyes . It clear that she didn’t want to reveal her true intention .
The princess showed a bright smile: “Why not come with us then? Senior Brother Sword Sovereign will be coming too . Since we’re from the same system, we should work together . ”
The girl’s expression changed after hearing about this Sword Sovereign and staggered backward . She tried her best to stay calm but her emotions betrayed her .
The princess naturally caught all of this . She told her men nearby: “Let’s go then, ask Miss Ling to come with us so it’ll be good when Senior Brother Sword Sovereign arrives . ”
The men started walking over; the girl tried to run but it was too late .
The spectators could see the complexity of this situation . One older cultivator knew the story clearly and sighed: “What a shame about the Ling . ”
Nevertheless, no one dared to say anything . Sword Grave was a very powerful system in Myriad Lineage .
“No need . ” Suddenly, Li Qiye reached out with his hand and stopped the incoming group .
The group paused and took a good look at him before uttering coldly: “Brat, scram to be the side, this is Sword Grave’s business . ”
“Run before I change my mind . ” Li Qiye nonchalantly said .
The princess immediately stated: “Looks like our Miss Ling has been seducing men outside, no wonder why she dares to come here . With a man around, she doesn’t need to spend a single coin, and if that’s not enough, then two men…”
The girl turned red but couldn’t come up with a response .
“Keep on talking and I’ll cut your tongue . ” Li Qiye threatened with a glare .
“How audacious!” The princess’ eyes showed murderous intent: “Brat, do you know who I am? Daring to talk like this…”
“Doesn’t matter, you’re just a fool . ” Li Qiye interrupted her with haste .
“Ignorant fool!” Her group became furious . Some even unsheathed their weapons .
“Oh, a fight?” A straightforward laugh came about .
It was a youth dressed in green with a large burlap bag behind him, completely filled . He grew up to be quite dashing and always had a bright smile on .
“Conqueror Young Noble!” Many recognized him right away .
The experts near the princess recognized this youth as well and signaled for the group to come back .
“Conqueror, one of the three young nobles . ” People naturally heard of his title before .
He was famous alongside Miracle and Coiling Dragon . However, Miracle was dead so there were actually only two young nobles now .
His appearance naturally surprised the crowd because he rarely left his sect .
“Conqueror Young Noble, your reputation precedes you . ” The princess cupped her fist, remaining graceful and noble with a hint of amicability .
“Princess Xia, long time no see . ” The young noble smiled: “I saw Sword Sovereign a while ago and even sold him a sword . Are you about to fight? Would you like to buy one as well?”
“No, we’re just about to leave . ” The princess hurriedly said: “Come visit Sword Grave sometimes . ”
“Very well . ” The young noble became disappointed after hearing this .
The princess threw out many coins and a large wooden boat appeared on the river, taking in the money .
“Let’s go . ” The princess jumped on the boat along with her group . She didn’t wish to trouble that girl any longer in order to keep certain things under wrap .
“How about you, would you like to buy a sword?” Conqueror asked with a bright smile right when Li Qiye wanted to cross .
Li Qiye glanced at the guy . This young noble was very enthusiastic and took down his bag . He opened it and revealed densely packed bamboo swords - very well made .
“These are good swords, personally carved by me . Would you like one, Brother? It’s good for self-protection . ” The young noble marketed .
The spectators here weren’t surprised at all because Conqueror has always done this . He would try to sell his swords to all the big shots, many of whom would buy it just to make him happy .
The truth was that these bamboo swords were useless at their level .
