They also realized that they weren’t on the same level as Li Qiye. He wasn’t a student like the rest of them and was just staying at their school for now.
Just think about it. Li Qiye still gave them one each despite the clear value of the fruit. Not to mention they were strangers, most probably wouldn’t act so generous even towards their closest ones. Only someone from the legend would do something like this.
That’s why they knew that Li Qiye’s level far exceeded them - a hidden master.
Li Qiye only smiled and accepted their gesture.
“Okay, I will temporarily hold these fruits until you all are strong enough to use them. That’s why you have to keep trying harder in order to not disappoint the young n.o.ble’s goodwill. One day, you will be able to create your own domain.” Du Wenrui looked at the students and said.
The young ones became emotional after hearing this. A ray from dawn seemed to be illuminating them and dispelling their confusion and doubts.
They clenched their firsts, determined to walk forward regardless of future hards.h.i.+ps. They refused to be treated with disdain from now on. Moreover, they would also take pride in their origin and academy. Their blood boiled with excitement and ambition.
“Time to take a look at Beast Garden.” Li Qiye smiled and continued forward. The young ones calmed down and followed right after.
Unfortunately, a person stopped them before they could enter the garden.
The stopper was a youth shrouded in a pulsing radiance. It seemed as if there was a treasury within him. The glow looked prestigious like the s.h.i.+mmering of gems.
The auras of various treasures surrounded him too. It was clear that he had a lot of treasures.
Moreover, he wore an expensive robe made of unknown materials along with various trinkets. They seemed to be expressing three words, “I’m very rich”. The divine stones engraved on the robe wanted to blind the spectators with their radiance.
Below his feet was a seven-colored cloud, allowing him to float.
Normally, standing on this type of cloud would exude an elegant and transcending image. However, this guy seemed to be standing on something materialistic and full of bravado. One could also see the three words, “I’m very rich”.
“Who is Li Qiye?” He uttered coldly.
“I am.” Li Qiye smiled.
“You?” The youth was surprised but his eyes fell upon the sword behind him: “Indeed.”
“I am Treasure Origin True G.o.d, I’m here today to…” He snorted and continued.
“Treasure Source True G.o.d?” Li Qiye interrupted and looked at him up and down.
“Oh? Frightened by my awesome reputation?” He didn’t like being interrupted.
“No, you’re overthinking it. I think your name should be “I’m very rich” though.” Li Qiye mocked.
“...” The true G.o.d turned red and glared at him.
“It’s not my fault, everything about you seems to be giving off that vibe. Sorry, I guess I misinterpreted.” Li Qiye shrugged, acting innocent.
The true G.o.d trembled with rage, nearly vomiting blood. His dressing style including the robe and the cloud was meant to represent his prestigious status, not to show off his wealth in a vulgar manner - or so he thought.
“Okay, ‘I’m very rich’, what do you need from me?” Li Qiye seemed amused. [1]
Zhou Qius.h.i.+ and the others struggled to hold their laughter inside.
“...” The true G.o.d felt the urge to kill. He took a deep breath to compose himself and said aggressively: “I am w.a.n.g Weiyuan. I’m here to tell you today that your life is mine.”
“What? ‘I’m very rich’, do you have a problem with me?” Li Qiye said.
