chapter 5510: no
the crowd clamored at this sight and began gossiping again. they believed that mu shaoyun and the goddess were a great match.
now, this outsider popped up out of nowhere. of course, they had no ill will toward li qiye; some were even happy to see him.
however, they knew nothing about his background, only that both their senior sisters were interested in him.
âdoes first sister like him?â someone whispered.
âno way, why would first sister like an outsider?â her friend whispered back: âthis is his first time here, theyâve probably only met recently, it canât be love or anything.â
âdonât you know about love at first sight? maybe thatâs what going on here.â another boldly speculated.nove/lb.in
the group then took a closer look at li qiye and came up with the same conclusion - ordinary. any random male disciple from their sect was superior in terms of appearance.
âhe doesnât look special at all. remember, first sister is a dragon lord.â the whispering started again.
a six-fruit dragon lord was far from being unbeatable in the immortal continent. nonetheless, she was still an influential character - a peak that couldnât be surpassed by the average cultivator.
the one affected the most was none other than mu shaoyun since everyone knew about his crush.
although the goddess was friendly with everyone, she still kept a certain distance. moreover, others never crossed the line due to her power and status.
however, she seemed particularly enthusiastic and close to li qiye - something shaoyun had never seen before. thus, he immediately considered li qiye as a love rival.
âwhat does it look like then?â li qiye smiled, seemingly having a good time while being surrounded by two beauties.
âyoung noble, shouldnât you offer us some tea first?â the goddess said before glancing at the pot.
âno.â he answered directly.
âjunior sister, iâll brew you a pot if you wish to drink.â shaoyun offered with a smile.
âthank you, senior brother, but itâs quite alright.â she shook her head, clearly not interested.
she then peeled some boiled peanuts and fed li qiye who was happy to oblige. this caused another commotion among spectators as if a bomb had just detonated.
even a fool could see that their relationship was special. peanuts were a simple snack in the mortal world. however, they were rather significant since she was the one feeding him.
âdidnât i tell you, she likes him.â the female disciple from before said excitedly.
they had no prejudice against the outsider. in fact, this might become a beautiful romance akin to a princess loving a poor scholar. the tale of this would spread throughout the valley.
âhow did she meet him?â another found this surprising because their first sister had never left the valley before.
âi told you, it has to be love at first sight since sheâs a sensitive soul.â a different disciple said.
âare they going to get together? no way, right?â one more whispered.
âwhy not? itâs not like we canât marry outsiders, it happened all the time in the past.â someone said, preferring to witness a potential romantic tale.
âitâs different, first sister might become the valley lord, our successor.â a relatively older disciple shook her head.
âabandoning ambition for love.â one girlâs eyes lit up and said: âsheâll drop her status and will leave with him, becoming a virtuous wife and mother instead.â
âthat should not happen.â the older disciple responded.
the girl overwhelmed with excitement glared at her and said: âwhy not? even if first sister leaves, we still have senior sister qin, our valley will be just fine. first sister is so pretty and full of life, she deserves happiness.â
although they had no idea bout li qiyeâs background, a few pure-hearted girls were already fantasizing about the romance.
they even thought about the future - how many children would li qiye and first sister have together? what would their names be? would this family return to the sect later and recognize their heritage?
on the contrary, mu shaoyunâs face became increasingly ugly. he had always thought that they were meant to be despite not spending enough time together. after all, he was the most qualified candidate in the valley.
