Emperor’s Domination

here?” The crowd found this surprising since he had disappeared after destroying the two mansions.

“Does Li Qiye know her?” This perplexed them all.

“It is an honor to see you, Sir.
I have heard of your exploits before…” Cuimei continued.

As the saying goes – nobody will find fault with extra courtesy.
Li Qiye smiled and said: “Call me Young Master.
Righteous Sect has waves of geniuses, glory will come soon with one like this.”

The members of the holy ground were dissatisfied with this remark.
Li Qiye praised their opponents in public; this wasn’t good for morale – certainly not appropriate during the sensitive circumstances.

“Hmph, he thinks too highly of himself.” One prodigy scowled.

“Is he forgetting that he’s part of the holy ground?” Another from Vajra coldly uttered.

“You’re too kind, Young Master.
Buddha Holy Ground has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it’ll be just as resplendent.” Cuimei hurriedly responded.

“A true dragon cannot hide forever.” Li Qiye replied: “Unfortunately, the majority consists of fools.”

This casual insinuation was as clear as can be.
The crowd started glaring at Li Qiye.

In this key moment, they all focused on how to deal with Righteous Sect.
Li Qiye was breaking the solidarity despite being a member of the holy ground.

“What are you trying to say?!” One youth shouted at Li Qiye only to be ignored.

“Think about your background first before you speak, you’re from the holy ground too.” Another added.

“Is he conspiring with the enemy? Banish him in that case.” One guy talked among his group.

“That’s letting him off easy.
If he’s an actual traitor, off with his head as a warning.” A peer had murderous flashes in his eyes.

“Shut your mouth!” An older senior immediately scolded.

The young ones were impetuous with their words.
Li Qiye could say whatever he wanted since he was the saber messenger.
Offending Li Qiye meant offending Vajra.

Given Li Qiye’s brutal personality, he might actually mobilize Vajra and start a war over petty quarrels.

“I am occupied with business and will come back later, Young Master.” Cuimei bowed again.

“Go.” Li Qiye waved his hand and went back to focus on fishing.

“Hmph, not helping us is one thing but he’s actually lowering morale and degrading the holy ground’s reputation.” One spectator said with disdain.

A number of geniuses were annoyed with Li Qiye.
One of them said: “Haha, how is he going to help with his meager skills? I don’t think he has the courage, that’s why he’s flattering Righteous Sect.”

Li Qiye’s comment has truly offended the majority of the crowd.
Even Phantom and Hu Ben didn’t take it in stride.
Of course, they were smart enough to keep their mouth shut.

As for Dugu Lan sitting beneath a tree, she didn’t say anything either as if she had expected this.
