Chapter 5143: Conqueror, Theyâre Stealing Fish
Li Qiye ignored the barriers going up around them. This only worried the saint child even more.
After all, these two clearly werenât afraid of them, meaning that they were at least at the conqueror level.
âSir, may I ask why you are here? If there is anything I can do to help, I will not refuse.â The saint child bowed at the two.
Li Qiye glanced at the youth and smiled: âWeâre just trying to catch the fish and grill it, nothing more.â
â...â The saint child had no response. Why did they have to come to someone elseâs house to fish? In this case, the strongest lineage in the region and the pond belonging to a conqueror.
He believed that they were here to provoke his master so he bowed and responded: âMy master travels the world and is not here right now. Seniors, if you have a message for him, I will be sure to relay it.â
âYouâre not stupid.â Li Qiye smiled.
The youth purposely assumed the role of a junior so that these two masters wouldnât make it difficult for him. They would have to wait for his master to return before causing trouble or it would truly be improper.
âBut leave now, you donât have any business here. We want to fish in peace.â Li Qiye added.
â...â The youth was left in a difficult position. This was the center of their sect and the courtyard of their conqueror. Was it really okay to leave them here? Windchaser Hall might be in danger.
âThis palace is our conquerorâs home, outsiders are not allowed here!â An elder shouted, unable to handle this ridiculous situation.
The saint child had traveled with his master and saw powerful cultivators. On the other hand, the elders believed that their conqueror was the strongest. His home was not to be desecrated by these unwelcomed visitors.
Those daring to offend their conqueror were their mortal enemies.
âThis is an unforgivable offense!â Another elder shouted.
The saint childâs expression soured after hearing the hasty comment.
âAs Iâve said, we are merely fishing. Go away.â Li Qiye said.
âYouâre courting death!â The elder couldnât believe Li Qiyeâs audacity and shouted.
âBoom!â He attacked with a treasure cauldron that spew out flames toward Li Qiye.
âStop!â The saint child didnât expect the elder to be foolish enough to attack an unknown foe after a few words of disagreement.
âBoom!â As the inferno drew near, a hand suddenly taught the cauldron, stopping its inferno before sending the elder flying.
The elder spat out a mouthful of blood and was furious. He instantly got up only to see a man wearing a brocade robe with the demeanor of a learned scholar.
Winds and clouds surrounded him and made him look taller than the sky itself.
âMaster!â The saint child bowed.
âConqueror!â The elders and disciples were ecstatic to see him and got on their knees. They feared nothing in his presence.
âConqueror, theyâre stealing our fish!â One elder reported.
âFools!â He shouted thunderously and made everyone tremble, not daring to utter a single word.
âWeâve met again for the second time today, Young Noble and Lord Landu.â Windchaser Conqueror bowed deeply before the two.
He was alone this time; his lover was not with him.
âMy sect members ignorantly ruined the mood, I apologize.â Windchaser said.
Everyone was horrified because given the conquerorâs response, these two were clearly at his level or higher. They were only ordinary disciples, so being disrespectful to conquerors might end in death.
They became drenched with cold sweat and couldnât move an inch.
âItâs not their fault. Weâre here to fish.â Li Qiye smiled.
Landu finally turned around and said: âWeâre sightseeing and want to grill some fish. I thought about it and recalled the one you have here.â
âI could have prepared the fish for you if you had told me.â Windchaser said.
âDonât try to play this game and linger around me like you did back then, itâs too much.â Landu waved his hand and said.
It turned out that these two already knew each other. This was back when Windchaser Conqueror was just a brat running around Peace Village.
He became very interested in Jun Landu, believing that this guy was the strongest hidden dragon in all the villages. Thus, he kept on asking Landu for help with cultivation.
Unfortunately, Landu refused and blocked him from coming into the courtyard. Landuâs way of life was to do nothing but live leisurely. Having a disciple would ruin his freedom.
Given Windchaserâs talent, he merely observed Landuâs dao as the guy was reading. The whole courtyard was a chance to learn the dao.
He greatly benefited and trained hard, eventually becoming a conqueror. He didnât give up on trying to become Landuâs disciple. Alas, rejection was the answer.
Thus, the two of them resembled a pair of master-disciple or friends but were neither. Anyone else would be offended by the constant rejection.
However, Windchaser grew up in Peace - a place filled with strange cultivators. Therefore, he had no problem with Landuâs attitude.
Meanwhile, the members of Windchaser became increasingly afraid. The saint child was smart enough to send them away.
He then prepared a table with tea for them, treating them as esteemed guests.
âSplash!â Landu pulled his pole back and sure enough - the thunderous fish was finally caught.
â!!â The saint child couldnât believe it.
