The Person Who Should Respond to Calamity!

Silence!

A silence as if of death!

Every single person in the entire venue, those who had been jeering, mocking, disdainful, and laughing, at this moment, were all stunned!

Baffled, lost, horrified, terrified... finally trembling madly!

Trembling like sieves!

Chills ran down their spines!

This Ye Qiu...

One must know that both Wu Gang and that tall, thin man were prodigies on the South Province rankings.

To put it mildly, they were extremely famous!

Yet, they couldn't even withstand a single saber strike!

Coincidence?

A sneak attack?

Perhaps the first time, but the second time, was it still possible?

It was as if they were meeting Ye Qiu for the first time!

Some were shocked and said, "No wonder Senior Sister Lu took a liking to him. He's not just good-looking!"

Ye Qiu retracted his saber, turned, and surveyed the entire venue, "Who else?"

Silence from the crowd below.

A few were eager to try, but when they met Ye Qiu's eyes, that fear spontaneously arose.

They didn't dare move!

"If you want trouble in the future, don't come looking for me. Go find Lu Li. I'm really not that familiar with her."

Ye Qiu dropped a few words and walked off the life-and-death stage. The crowd naturally parted, and he strode away.

Silence continued behind him until Ye Qiu was almost gone, and the clamor erupted once more.

There was shock, anger, roars, and also cold laughter: "That kid has gotten himself into big trouble!"

"Yeah, he killed Wu Gang!"

"Wu Gang's sister is someone in the top thirty of the South Province rankings!"

"This matter won't be let go of so easily!"

Ye Qiu naturally didn't know these things. Even if he did, he wouldn't care much.

It was the basic routine.

After beating the small ones, the big ones come; after beating the big ones, the old ones come... It was like this when he fought for the Wen Family in Nanshan before.

Of course, he wasn't a complete fool.

He generally fought if he could win, and if he couldn't win, he'd go berserk. If even that didn't work, then he'd have to run.

If someone older jumped out, and you stupidly went to fight them, wouldn't that mean you had a screw loose?

Didn't he have Lu Li?

If Lu Li couldn't handle it, her teacher would step in!

These troubles were originally theirs to deal with!

He walked all the way towards Green Moon Mountain. The two saber strikes from before had given him a deeper understanding.

Although he appeared calm, every time he swung his saber, he was giving it his all.

After all, it was a life-and-death battle.

One dies, the other lives.

Why would he put on a show there?

"Brother Snake, how can I comprehend the artistic conception?" Ye Qiu asked in his heart.

There were too many troubles in this place.

Although he had stunned the crowd today, this was Nanzhou Academy, where the most elite prodigies in the entire South Province were gathered.

There were plenty of formidable people here!

Trouble was bound to come.

He had to leave as soon as possible.

He felt that if he could comprehend the artistic conception, he wouldn't be afraid of Lu Li anymore.

The Great Serpent remained silent for a long time, "Why do you cultivate?"

Ye Qiu: "..."

The Great Serpent said, "Why do you seek strength?"

Ye Qiu: "I've already used this trick, you should at least change it."

The Great Serpent said: "Intent is actually an upgraded version of Essence, Qi, and Spirit!"

Ye Qiu frowned.

"If you want specifics, it's hard to explain. After all, everyone's Essence, Qi, and Spirit, their thoughts, and ideas are all different, so the Intent they comprehend will naturally be different."

"You might comprehend it after a fight, or you might comprehend it while eating, just spacing out..."

Ye Qiu understood a little, but not much. One thing he did grasp was that this couldn't be taught; it had to be realized on one's own.

Fine.

He walked back to Green Moon Mountain. Upon reaching the peak, Lu Li walked out of a brand-new thatched hut.

Originally, there were two thatched huts; now there were three.

Lu Li glanced at Ye Qiu: "You'll live here from now on. I just finished building it, and I've prepared daily necessities, bedding, and everything else for you."

Ye Qiu looked at her and said: "You're all so rich now, why are you still living in thatched huts? Practicing austerity?"

Five million to spend as they pleased, smashing a South Sea Blood Pearl worth over a million like it was nothing, and they were short on houses?

Lu Li said: "We won't be staying in South Province for long, so if we built a big house, we wouldn't be able to take it with us later, which would be a waste."

Ye Qiu snorted. They were afraid of waste?

Wait!

Leaving?

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, and he asked: "When are you leaving?"

Lu Li looked at him and smiled gently: "I'll take you with me then."

"Dream on!" Ye Qiu kept this thought to himself, but he was determined: absolutely not!

Besides, his maternal grandfather was getting old, and he was worried about him.

He walked into the brand-new thatched hut. The interior was neatly organized and quiet. A double bed had also been set up.

Ye Qiu glanced at the double bed and frowned slightly.

Lu Li's room seemed to have a single bed?

What did she mean by setting up a double bed for him?

Hmph!

Moreover, on that double bed lay a Storage Ring.

Ye Qiu walked over and scanned it with his spiritual sense. Inside the Storage Ring were some Demon Beast Spirits and body-tempering materials.

Worth five million!

No.

If you included the South Sea Blood Pearl that was smashed, it should be worth over six million.

But Ye Qiu's expression immediately turned grim.

Did that woman want to buy me off?

Did she think giving me a lot of money would make me submit?

"Don't give it to me," the Great Serpent's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Ye Qiu immediately said righteously: "Brother Snake, we must have integrity!"

The Great Serpent said: "I was born a spineless creature."

Ye Qiu: "..."

He didn't want to take it.

Because if he took so much, he feared he wouldn't be able to repay it later, and he wouldn't have the nerve to negotiate any terms with Lu Li.

Never mind that he couldn't beat her now; even if he could in the future, after taking all this, would he still have the face to make a move?
