The Yunhai Sect female disciple’s face changed drastically upon seeing the person in front of her.
"Brother Li... Brother Li?"
The person standing in front of her was none other than Li Yunfeng, who had left earlier.
She had never expected that the person who would step in to protect Lin Qian would be him.
Seeing Li Yunfeng block that burst of Sword Qi for him, Lin Qian’s gathered Soul Power began to slowly retract back into his body.
At that moment, Lin Qian also knitted his brows and looked towards the Yunhai Sect female disciple.
As a combatant from the Northern Division Clan’s allied sect Yunhai Sect, Lin Qian naturally knew of her identity.
Du Ziyue, a genius disciple of Yunhai Sect, her strength at the Peak of the Life and Death Realm Body Realm, and only twenty-five years old, was the most talented disciple of her generation in the entire Yunhai Sect, as well as the proud pupil of Wu Chunshan.
At the same time, Lin Qian also learned of an interesting fact, which is that although Yunhai Sect dominated a state and even named it Yunhai State, it was still a subordinate power to a sect.
And the power that Yunhai Sect was subordinate to was Li Yunfeng’s Carefree Sect!
Who is Li Yunfeng? The legitimate son of the current Sect Master of Carefree Sect, the illustrious former Sect Master Zhou Yian, who has always kept him by his side for guidance!
Such a figure, not just her, but even if her master Wu Chunshan were here, would have to act with the utmost respect.
"Houhai Street has an unspoken agreement among everyone that one must not fight, yet you dare to break the rules. I’m really curious now, is this how Yunhai Sect teaches its disciples?" Li Yunfeng furrowed his brow and scolded with a stern voice, and from the bubbles continuously emerging from the aquatic respirating Soul Device on his face, one could tell his current mood.
Seeing Li Yunfeng’s anger, Du Ziyue immediately panicked. When she saw Lin Qian who was already turning around preparing to leave, her mind quickly came up with an idea, and she hastily called out, "Brother Li, I only lost my temper and took action because he spoke disrespectfully towards me."
Her words left Li Yunfeng looking astonished, and he turned to glance at Lin Qian.
Meanwhile, Lin Qian, who had been on his way to find Zhang Zide, also stopped in his tracks and turned around with a dark expression on his face.
At this time, there were already quite a few people from the surroundings flocking over to see what was happening.
"It was him, he deliberately touched me with his hands, relying on the unwritten rule of Houhai Street that prohibits fighting, spoke indecently, and even said he wanted me to go back with him! I only acted out of shock and anger," Du Ziyue shouted louder seeing more onlookers.
Hearing Du Ziyue’s accusation, the crowd all tsked and looked at Lin Qian with disdain and contempt.
The comments from the surrounding people made a hint of a triumphant conspiracy appear in Du Ziyue’s eyes.
Thus, Li Yunfeng was in no position to blame her for starting a fight, but instead could use it as an excuse to properly discipline Lin Qian.
A guy whose Realm was only at Sky Breaking Realm, just because he was a bit strong physically, dared to disregard her and even insult her for having a small chest!
In Yunhai Sect, Du Ziyue was always treated like a high and mighty princess, with every man flattering and obedient to her.
And this Lin Qian, he dares to disobey my command, he deserves to die!
"Brother Li, everything I said is true, you saw it too, just now he was about to turn around and leave. If he wasn’t feeling guilty, why the rush to leave?" Seeing that the crowd’s comments were in her favor, Du Ziyue continued to embellish her story.
Yet when she spoke these words, the vendor who had sold the books to Lin Qian, snickered quietly to himself.
He knew exactly what had happened before.
Moreover, this woman had actually sought out Li Yunfeng to take her side, but he had seen clearly that the other party addressed Lin Qian as "Brother Lin," which showed there was some friendship between them.
However, the vendor didn’t plan to say anything; after all, when Lin Qian was haggling over the books at his stall, he had been quite stingy. Seeing him in a bit of trouble was a bit of amusement for the vendor.
"Ha ha ha..." Just at this moment, Lin Qian suddenly burst into loud laughter, causing everyone to look at him with astonishment.
At this, Du Ziyue spoke sarcastically, "What’s the matter, nothing to say? Using laughter to cover up your embarrassment?"
"No, I’m laughing at your delusions of grandeur," Lin Qian snorted coldly, and said to Du Ziyue, "You once said that I stole glances at you, coveting your beauty, and that I was a coward with lustful intent but no courage."
"Your rationale for this claim is that I first looked at you with lecherous eyes, and when you turned around, I quickly averted my gaze."
"How so, have I said something wrong?" Du Ziyue tilted her head slightly, revealing her pointed chin with a haughty air, "Men like you are dime a dozen; everyone appreciates beauty, if you want to look, then just look. I don’t mind. But a man like you, who sneaks peeks and then goes off to imagine who knows what filthy acts, is disgusting."
Lin Qian, hearing what Du Ziyue had to say, laughed as if he had heard the joke of the century, "Very amusing. My fiancée is prettier than you, has a better temperament than you, and has a better figure than you. Someone like you couldn’t even catch my eye. There’s a saying that goes well, ’ugly people always make more trouble’; sneaking a look at you? Don’t make me laugh; I’m afraid I’d have nightmares after seeing you."
"You..." Du Ziyue’s face paled, and as she pointed at Lin Qian about to say something, he bluntly cut her off.
"Listen here, you little wench, I wasn’t sneaking a look at you, but at your master Wu Chunshan, because I was thinking about how to slaughter him, got it?" Lin Qian’s expression instantly turned ice-cold, a chilling killing intent burst forth, targeting Du Ziyue in front of him.
"What!" Du Ziyue staggered backward from the killing intent emanating from Lin Qian, her face losing all color.
She never imagined that Lin Qian would actually speak of killing her master Wu Chunshan!
Not only her, but the onlookers were also very taken aback, the turn of events was utterly unexpected.
But soon after, Du Ziyue calmed down and even showed a smile, "Lin Qian, what audacity you have. Do you know who this Brother Li is? He is the direct descendant of the Sect Master of the Carefree Sect, and our Yunhai Sect is a subordinate to the Carefree Sect. And here you are, speaking nonsense in his presence, wishing to kill the Deputy Sect Master of the Yunhai Sect!"
"You should know, my master is also Brother Li’s man, having to follow his commands. What guts you have. What do you think you are, that you can kill my master? Even if you could, with Brother Li here, would he agree?"
"I agree!" As soon as Du Ziyue’s words fell, Li Yunfeng spoke indifferently.
Suddenly, silence fell upon those around, especially Du Ziyue, who looked at Li Yunfeng in disbelief, unable to believe what she had just heard.
"Actually, what she said isn’t wrong, Wu Chunshan is also considered your man, you don’t mind?" At that moment, Lin Qian walked up to Li Yunfeng, asking thoughtfully.
"I don’t mind, do as you please."
