Both Silver Fox and Grand Tutor were actually older than Chu Qingling but they were only minor Young Kings.

　　Nevertheless, they were considered experts among the young generation. This was the reason why they were candidates for the emperor position.

　　Even the late emperor was only a Grand Saint back then. However, she was a True Saint or even stronger at such a young age. This was indicative of her wonderful dao, power, and talents. No wonder why the ancestors all viewed her with such high regards and thought that she could become a True Emperor. [1]

　　This was indeed the truth. The only thing she was lacking was experience and time.

　　The fury of a True Saint was naturally terrifying. That’s why everyone backed off and maintained a safe distance.

　　“You’re not my opponent.” Li Qiye leisurely said without looking at her.

　　This only made people think that he was even crazier. She was strong enough to beat many members of the older generations. Only ancestors could take her on.

　　“Leave!” She uttered coldly with a frightening aura. The weaker disciples felt their legs growing weak.

　　The doors were pushed open as everyone ran out. Some even rolled on the ground, knowing that this place was about to be a battlefield. If they didn’t make it out in time, they could be rendered to mists of blood.

　　“Boom!” The windows and doors were shut tight after everyone left. The entire inn seemed to be sealed now.

　　“Don’t worry, I’ll give you some face by keeping the beating behind closed doors.” She a.s.serted.

　　If it wasn’t for w.a.n.g Han asking her to take care of this brat, she would have beaten him into submission, unable to leave his bed for months.

　　Few knew that she had a good relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Han. However, one was from the w.a.n.g Clan while the other from the Chu Camp. Moreover, w.a.n.g Han was in charge of the secular inst.i.tution while Qingling focused on becoming a True Emperor. Thus, these two rarely had opportunities to meet. Nevertheless, their relations.h.i.+p remained tight.

　　w.a.n.g Han was accused of misconduct by the high elders and was in danger of being deposed. She managed to get a maid to bring a letter to Qingling, telling her to take good care of Li Qiye. Of course, this letter didn’t include information about Li Qiye’s ident.i.ty.

　　Qingling was being nice enough to help Li Qiye out this time so that he wouldn’t fall under the combined siege from Upper Faction and Sacred Inst.i.tution.

　　“So I should be thanking you? What an interesting little girl.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “However, your skills right now aren’t enough to beat me. Even if you become a True Emperor, it still isn’t possible, unless you were to have the same fortunes and creations as Insane Ancestor, that might be challenging.”

　　Qingling herself finally thought the guy was crazy. She didn’t think that she could take anyone on in this world. Furthermore, she even believed when the guy said that she wasn’t his match right now.

　　But the consecutive boasting was too much. Even a True Emperor wasn’t his match? Only someone like Insane Ancestor was qualified to take him on? The guy must have a bad case of delusional grandeur.

　　Not to mention Insane Court, but even in all of Three Immortals, how many would look down on True Emperors like this? As for a progenitor? No one would dare to challenge one. Progenitors were untouchable existences. Only at the highest realm would one truly understand how strong a progenitor was. But now, this n.o.body was doing so. He must be tired of living.

　　“So ignorant.” She couldn’t understand his confidence and said coldly: “Your words alone are deserving of death. If it wasn’t for Her Majesty’s request, you would have died here today.”
