Chapter 2802
Her presence filled with holiness and an imperial aura demanded respect and worship from others .
“Dean, what’s happening here?” Her voice was heavenly and soothing; others became immersed while listening .
She was talking to the middle-aged man right now .
“Your Majesty . . . ” The man cupped his fist in response .
She shook her head right away: “Dean, Meng Xi appreciates your kind gesture but you have the same seniority as the elders from our Northern Academy, so you are also my senior . Please call me by my given name . ”
The crowd was surprised to see how amiable and approachable she was, feeling even more impressed . Her power didn’t result in her being prideful . This type of humility was very rare to see .
“Alright, deference is no substitute for obedience . Miss Meng, Elder Demg said that this young brother is from the sin tribe so we just want to verify it . ” The middle-aged man smiled .
The girl glanced at Li Qiye, showering him with a holy radiance as pleasant as spring itself . One would feel comfortable but also inadequate in comparison .
“This young noble is a sinkin?” The girl didn’t see it at all . She was more perplexed by how calm he was despite being under scrutiny by her .
“Who might you be?” Li Qiye stared at her without holding back .
This action looked very disrespectful to the rest of the crowd .
“Such impudence! You dare to act like this in the presence of a True Emperor?!” The youth who wanted to capture Li Qiye earlier instantly shouted .
He had nothing but admiration for the True Emperor . Just being close enough to see her was more than he could ever ask for . So now, he naturally hated Li Qiye’s lack of respect .
The girl waved her hand and stopped him . Her holy light also had an amicable aura to it .
“It’s understandable that you don’t know me considering how vast this world is . ” She didn’t seem to mind .
“Hmph, what a frog under the well, he doesn’t even know who Holyfrost True Emperor is . ” Another youth snorted .
All of them were fans of this girl . Though she was around their age, she was already standing at the apex as the pride of the Academy of Light .
She was extremely famous at the academy, the same for Immortal Lineage .
The great prodigy came from the Northern Academy, a native emperor on top of hailing from the Sacred Spirit Race .
This was a noble race . Their infants were born with a pair of wings made of light .
“Oh, I see, a True Emperor . ” Li Qiye leisurely smiled .
This only earned him more animosity from the youths here .
“Are you really a member of the sin tribe?” She asked again, still exuding a gentle holy light .
People couldn’t help wanting to submit to her gentle gaze . Unfortunately, Li Qiye was unaffected .
“I’ve never heard of this so-called sin tribe . I was simply leaving the wildland but feel free to make whatever claim . ” He shrugged in response .
“Miss Meng, the sinkins have a mark on their forehead . He has one just like the description from the scrolls . ” Elder Deng accused Li Qiye of being one from the very start . His full name was Deng Rensen, a very powerful cultivator .
She focused on his forehead instead . Though she didn’t exert her imperial aura, her gaze was still very oppressive . Others would have gotten on their knees already, just not Li Qiye .
“Such shallow knowledge, calling this the mark of a sinner?” Li Qiye shook his head: “It’s nothing more than a wound . ”
“You!” Deng Rensen was an influential figure so to be looked down like this left him with an ugly expression . He would have exploded already if it wasn’t for the emperor’s presence .
“May I take a closer look at the mark?” She asked . Just her words alone were impossible to resist for most .
“Why not?” Li Qiye smiled in a carefree manner .
She raised her finger and a holy light gathered on the tip . This light seemed to have its own life like a spirit .
The spirit gently touched Li Qiye’s forehead . She bore no ill-will, only wanting to test the mark .
“Pop!” The spirit instantly dispersed after experiencing immense pressure .
“You have a dark affinity in you . ” She was surprised to see this .
“See?! He’s clearly a sinkin, a creature from the darkness . We need to capture him right now!” The glowing youth shouted . His name was Lu Shimao .
The group became frightened . Some started pointing their sword at Li Qiye . If the emperor said that he had darkness in him, it was definitely true .
Just think about it, how could that mark not have a trace of darkness when it was caused by the eye of darkness?
It didn’t affect him too much, just another scar that would take some time before it goes away . This wouldn’t be the case for another person since they would be affected by the mark .
“So it’s true . ” Deng Rensen glared at Li Qiye .
“Nefarious creatures are roaming in this wildland so no travelers can guarantee that they won’t be infected by dark affinity . How foolish to construe this as a sign for sinkins . ” Li Qiye laughed .
Deng Rensen’s eyes flashed with murderous intent after hearing this taunting .
Li Qiye ignored him and turned towards this emperor, seemingly more interested in a cultivator like her .
“You were just there?” She gazed towards the direction of the wildland .
“To find some stuff . It is an evil land now . ” He casually revealed .
“I see, the wildland has turned evil . ” She withdrew her gaze and looked at him: “If you are in no hurry, it’s better if you don’t leave . ”
“Oh, you want to keep me around?” He smiled .
“With the exception of Repentance City, the rest of our system is filled with holy light . Every inch of the land belongs to this affinity . As you are right now, you will be suppressed by the holy light if you were to leave and that will be very painful . Perhaps staying at Repentance isn’t a bad choice either . ” She said .
“Her Majesty is so kind . ” The young group gossiped among themselves .
“I suppose staying at Repentance is just fine since I’m just wandering around aimlessly . ” Li Qiye smiled .
He wasn’t in a rush to leave . Plus, he was very interested in this particular city too .
“Dean, is Repentance still accepting people?” He asked the middle-aged man who just happened to be the Dean of Repentance .
“Yes, the new semester is starting so we’re recruiting . ” The man answered .
“Then you can stay at Repentance Institution right now . It does have holy power but it’s very gentle . Stay there and let it wash the darkness away . At the same time, you can get accustomed to the holy affinity too . It’s far better than venturing out into other parts of the system . ” She told Li Qiye .
“Sounds good . ” Li Qiye went with the flow: “Come visit me if you have time . ”
“So ridiculous!” The group of youths glared angrily at him .
