Yun Li: Are you pretending I don't exist?

"Who is that?"

"No idea. I don't think I've ever seen him before!"

Yun Li's appearance immediately drew cries of surprise from the disciples present.

Many disciples from the two most recent intakes had never even seen him!

"That's Yun Li, our Qianyuan Sect's Supreme Elder!"

"To think today's incident even brought him out!"

A disciple who was clearly more senior exclaimed in amazement.

He had joined the Qianyuan Sect nearly ten years ago, yet had only seen Elder Yun Li once!

"Just who exactly is this Elder Yun Li?"

"Yeah, judging by his tone, he doesn't seem to show even the sect master any respect!"

Hearing the senior disciple's words, many new and less experienced disciples immediately looked curious.

After all, Elder Yun Li's words were startling. The very first thing he had said challenged Sect Master Yun Tianci's decision!

"Hehe, now that's something you wouldn't know."

The senior disciple smiled mysteriously. "Although Elder Yun Li has spent these years cultivating in seclusion and basically no longer takes part in sect affairs."

"Two hundred years ago, Elder Yun Li was genuinely second only to the sect master in our Qianyuan Sect!"

"He followed the old sect master of that time and earned illustrious battle merits!"

"Back then, the old sect master originally entrusted Elder Yun Li with Qianyuan Peak, the strongest of the four main peaks!

But Elder Yun Li declined, saying he wasn't good at management!"

"The current Peak Masters of the four main peaks are also of roughly the same seniority as Elder Yun Li!"

"And Elder Yun Li has always had a somewhat eccentric temperament, so even our Sect Master Yun treats him with considerable deference!"

The senior disciple went on and on, clearly knowing these historical details very well.

"He's actually that formidable?"

Hearing this, the disciples looked enlightened.

Elder Yun Li was actually even more senior than the current sect master!

Although they knew that the current four Peak Masters were also highly respected seniors, those four were very deferential toward Sect Master Yun Tianci.

After all, Yun Tianci was a heaven-gifted genius in the truest sense!

He was the Qianyuan Sect's youngest Spirit Transformation Realm expert in nearly a thousand years!

Otherwise, he could hardly have become sect master at such an age.

"Looks like it won't be easy for Lin Yu and Xiaobai to move into this red-grade residence today."

The senior disciple shook his head and said:

"Once Elder Yun Li makes up his mind, almost no one can change it!"

Hearing this, the other disciples nodded in agreement.

With such a heavyweight elder speaking up, Sect Master Yun would presumably show him some respect.

Although Lin Yu and Xiaobai could already be considered heaven-gifted geniuses, they were ultimately just two Golden Core Stage disciples.

The gap between them and Yun Li was still beyond measure!

Elder Yun Li was a genuine, supremely powerful Spirit Transformation Realm expert!

When Spirit Transformation wrath erupted, mountains and seas alike were leveled!

The disciples all waited for Sect Master Yun Tianci's response.

Most guessed that Yun Tianci might ultimately arrange for the two of them to live together in a black-grade residence instead.

Meanwhile.

Yun Tianci, in whom the disciples placed such high hopes, was on the verge of tears.

Yun Tianci was suffering inside!

You don't even come out once in ten years!

Wouldn't it have been nice to stay in your residence and cultivate today, just like always?

Why did you have to come out and join the commotion?

And the first thing out of your mouth was that they couldn't live together!

A young man and a cat are living together. How is that any of your business!

No, a tiger!

Yun Tianci was nearly fainting with anger.

If this went wrong, wouldn't the entire sect end up buried alongside him?

Who knew what those two experts really had hidden in their gourds!

Yet he, the very one who knew the truth, could not casually reveal it.

Setting aside Lin Yu's earlier insistence that he not reveal their strength.

With Yun Li's stubborn temper, even if he told him these two were pinnacle experts beyond Spirit Transformation, he probably wouldn't believe it at all!

He might just tell Lin Yu, "Let's have a fight!"

Then things would spiral completely out of control!

The more Yun Tianci thought about it, the more his head hurt. Nothing he could do seemed like a good solution!

Meanwhile.

Yun Li landed in front of Lin Yu and Xiaobai with a beaming smile.

"Hehe, you two little fellows really are promising seedlings."

Yun Li stroked his white beard and spoke with satisfaction.

"Hey, can I slap this man dead?"

Xiaobai transmitted her voice to Lin Yu through her consciousness. This was an innate skill Six-Winged Holy Tigers possessed from birth.

"Could you stop being so violent all the time?"

Lin Yu replied helplessly through his immortal sense.

Apart from eating, this stupid cat only liked slapping people.

When they first met in his previous life, even Lin Yu himself had nearly been slapped dead by her.

Even now, recalling that scene left Lin Yu with lingering fear!

This stupid cat still needed some discipline.

Lin Yu shook his head with a faint smile and gave Xiaobai's head a ruffle.

Xiaobai pursed her little lips, and a rosy flush rose over her pretty face.

"Hey! You two! How long are you going to keep making eyes at each other here!"

"Are you really pretending I don't exist!"

At that moment, Yun Li, whom Lin Yu and Xiaobai had left standing to the side, could not help roaring.

What had the world come to!

Wasn't he the Qianyuan Sect's Supreme Elder!

They weren't even showing him the most basic respect due an elder!

Could it be that he hadn't acted fierce and fiendish enough just now?

As Yun Li muttered inwardly, he stroked his beard, thinking that next time he would have to dye the thing another color.

A white beard really wasn't intimidating.

It looked too kindly.
