Is It Still Too Late to Kneel and Apologize Now?
The next morning, high in the sky.
Alas--
The surging wind howled in my ears.
Ye Li, dressed in Baiyi, streaked across the sky at breakneck speed.
Zuo Qingyu followed beside him, gazing at the blurry building that was growing larger in the distance, and whispered to him:
"Ye Li, the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion is no ordinary force, but don't feel pressured because of it."
"My protection is far more effective than that [Fengyun Gold Medal] at your waist."
Her voice was filled with confidence in her own abilities.
Although the Fengyun Gold Medal is hailed as an immunity token for ordinary Mountain Gate, the [Three Mountains and Six Sects] are clearly not within its scope of influence.
Especially when a martial artist seeks revenge.
The personal protection of a Martial Infant Realm expert is indeed far more intimidating than a gold medal.
Ye Li gazed at the massive Mountain Gate ahead and asked:
"That might make a lot of noise, is that alright?"
"What problem could there be?"
Zuo Qingyu snorted lightly, "With me backing you up, you can do whatever you want!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li nodded slightly:
"I see."
As he spoke, the true energy within his body began to circulate slowly.
Jiangnan Province, Hengshan Treasure Pavilion.
Even among the many provinces of Huaxia, this place is considered quite prosperous, with a highly developed economy.
Hengshan Treasure Pavilion is located in the heart of Jiangnan Province, a region rich in Spiritual Energy.
As one of the six sects among the "Three Mountains and Six Sects", its reputation in the local area is self-evident, to the point of being exaggerated.
The most compelling evidence is that whenever the elders or even the deacons of the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion descend the mountain, they cause a stir and garner support from martial artists in the surrounding cities and counties.
Hengshan Treasure Pavilion, though named a pavilion, occupies an extremely vast area, spanning tens of thousands of hectares.
Its numerous facilities immediately reveal its profound cultural heritage.
As the morning sunlight streamed into the courtyard.
Hengshan Treasure Pavilion, the melodious sound of bells echoed out.
This signifies that it's time for the Mountain Gate to open each day.
Those Mountain Gate that came to exchange ideas knew that Hengshan Treasure Pavilion had deactivated its defensive array and could now enter normally upon hearing the bell.
Meanwhile, inside an exquisitely designed mansion.
With a touch of heroic spirit in his eyes, Cheng Qing slowly opened his eyes from the couch.
Before her, three precious Treasure Medicine, having had all their spiritual essence absorbed, had withered and dried up.
His wheat-colored skin shimmered with a jade-like luster, and his eyes always held a lion-like domineering presence.
As she stepped into the courtyard, an unshakeable aura emanated from her, causing the disciples guarding outside to change their expressions slightly.
He truly deserves to be the youngest elder of the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion.
The mere aura emanating from the physical body is already so oppressive; imagine the magnificent scene if it were released from the Spiritual Platform Divine Mansion, with true energy soaring into the sky!
Just then, a sickly-looking young man stumbled in and immediately knelt respectfully before him:
"Disciple Yu Chuan greets Master."
"I'm fine, get up now." Cheng Qing stretched slowly, looking quite pleased.
Thanks to the three [Earth Core Precious Ginseng] plants that the pavilion gave her.
She is now not far from reaching the Fifth-Tier Ninth Level.
"Master's strength seems to have improved again?" Yu Chuan raised his head, looking at the other person with admiration.
"More or less."
Cheng Qing glanced at it casually and asked, "How is your injury healing?"
The disciple I took in was not only commendable in terms of talent, but also extremely accurate in understanding my thoughts.
Cheng Qing was often overjoyed.
Flattery requires considerable skill, plus a certain level of talent, which is why she accepted Yu Chuan as her disciple.
Unexpectedly, he was recently severely injured by an unknown junior.
This greatly annoyed Cheng Qing.
She is extremely concerned about her reputation and cannot tolerate the slightest slander or questioning.
That junior named Ye Li, it is said, knew that Yu Chuan was her disciple, yet still dealt him such a heavy blow.
This action clearly shows that they don't take her seriously.
In fact, she didn't care much about Yu Chuan's injuries.
But in order to save face, Cheng Qing was determined to find an opportunity in the next two months to make Ye Li pay a heavy price!
As for the rumors of "bullying the weak"...
Cheng Qing didn't care at all.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have forced that Blood Vitality Fifth Tier martial artist out of the way and then beaten him to death.
In Cheng Qing's view, a martial artist loses, and that's it.
Only the weak make excuses to cover up their incompetence!
"Reporting to Master, regarding my injuries..."
Thinking back to the horrific scene that day.
Yu Chuan's face paled slightly, but he still answered very respectfully, "With the Treasure Medicine you gave me, I should be able to recover to about 70-80% in about three months!"
Cheng Qing nodded, seemingly casually saying:
"By the way, regarding that Ye Li, I've already figured out how to teach him a lesson."
"He broke your bones, then... I will sever his dream of the Divine Mansion, how about that?"
Although it is a question, the tone is as if it is stating a fact.
Clearly, regardless of Yu Chuan agrees or not, she intends to do it this way.
Upon hearing this, a hint of pleasure flashed in Yu Chuan's eyes, and he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Master!"
"I'm in a good mood today, so come out and accompany me for a walk."
As she spoke, Cheng Qing walked out of the residence unhurriedly. Several disciples hurriedly bowed and greeted her upon seeing her.
Yu Chuan, who was inside the courtyard, responded and then jogged out to follow.
Hengshan Treasure Pavilion.
The area boasts lush green mountains and clear waters, and is a beautiful place.
It was early morning, and the scenery was indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
"..."
Cheng Qing Walker among them with a relaxed expression and elegant demeanor.
As the youngest and most promising elder in the pavilion, she enjoys considerable fame throughout the entire Jiangnan Province.
Countless young martial artists secretly regard her as their role model.
Along the way, disciples from the pavilion kept greeting her, then gazing longingly at her departing figure.
Even the elders, who were far more senior than her, greeted her with smiles when they met.
"..."
Hearing these compliments, a clear smile gradually appeared on Cheng Qing's lips.
That's exactly right, that's the feeling.
She just loves the feeling of being fawned over!
Although her reputation has been slightly damaged because of Ye Li, she will soon find an opportunity to repair it perfectly.
After all, even the opponent's teacher was no match for him.
How could a young Heavenly Gate Realm martial artist possibly contend with a powerful Divine Mansion Realm expert like her?!
'Ignorant brat, you'll soon pay the price for your actions.'
Cheng Qing smiled slightly and refocused her attention on appreciating the scenery.
She sent people to Fengyun University last night to investigate Ye Li's whereabouts. It won't be long before she gets news that he's out on a mission.
If the other party dares to act rashly, then they can expect to come knocking on their door.
A moment later, in high spirits, Cheng Qing, accompanied by Yu Chuan, returned to his residence.
The gatekeeper, seeing her return, quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"Elder Cheng, someone is looking for you."
"Someone is looking for me?" Cheng Qing frowned slightly.
She didn't remember having an appointment to meet someone today.
"Yes."
Under the questioning gazes of Cheng Qing and Yu Chuan.
The disciple hurriedly replied, "A man and a woman are waiting for you in the courtyard."
"..."
Cheng Qing strode into the courtyard, where two unfamiliar figures immediately came into her view.
A young woman in a blue dress with a cold and aloof demeanor, and...
A handsome young man wearing Baiyi shirt and a gold medal around his waist.
The moment he saw him, Yu Chuan behind him exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Li?!"
His voice was filled with deep fear; he was clearly terrified!
Ye Li?!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qing's face instantly darkened.
A chilling Killing Intent suddenly surged in his eyes.
She stared at the composed White-robed Youth, her heart filled with a mixture of surprise and delight. "You have such audacity!"
I never expected that they would come knocking on my door before I even set off!
The next moment, the White-robed Youth looked up at her.
Without any warning, Cheng Qing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis welling up from the bottom of her heart.
Immediately afterwards, she heard the young man ask in a soft voice:
"Elder Cheng Qing, is it too late for you to kneel down and apologize now?"
