The students gave Li Qiye the side-eye, deeming his previous statement as being outrageous.

　　Zhou Quis.h.i.+ and the others also started signaling at Li Qiye to not be too harsh. Offending an eight-palace emperor might be bad for their academy.

　　Tiger King didn’t know what to say. Everyone knew his master - Goldtypha True Emperor of Strong Gra.s.s System. Li Qiye’s purposeful ignorance could only be construed as an insult. [1]

　　“My master is from Strong Gra.s.s System, a disciple of Orchid Sage, my grandmaster…” He coughed and elaborated.

　　Everyone quieted down right away after the sage was brought up in order to show respect.

　　In Immortal Lineage, everyone has heard of two t.i.tles - Orchid Sage and Luminous Master.

　　They were two progenitors that have reached this realm at such a young age, indicative of their peerless talents.

　　Orchid Sage hailed from Strong Gra.s.s System and became a progenitor later. He has yet to create his own system and still referred to himself as a member of Strong Gra.s.s.

　　Tiger King as an eighth-level Ascender wasn’t much in Academy of Light because the various academies had True Emperors.

　　As for his master, Goldtypha True Emperor, this person had extraordinary talents since birth. However, there was still a big gap between him and supreme geniuses such as Holyfrost True Emperor, Violet Dragon Empress, Brightking Buddha, and Metalkin War G.o.d.

　　His greatest advantage unavailable to others including Holyfrost True Emperor was his master - Orchid Sage.

　　With a grandmaster like that, Tiger King could proudly do whatever he wanted.

　　That’s why all the students here held their breath after hearing this t.i.tle. The most brilliant and prestigious ones in the crowd still viewed the sage with nothing but reverence.

　　“Never heard of him either.” Li Qiye nonchalantly responded.

　　This answer struck everyone like thunder so they stared at him in astonishment.

　　Not hearing about Goldtypha True Emperor was understandable, more or less. There were around eight or ten emperors right now in the current generation on top of some from the previous. Plus, the academy had several too.

　　On the other hand, feigning ignorance about Orchid Sage was outrageous. Even a three-year-old child knew about him.

　　Anyone who had just joined a cultivation sect would know of his t.i.tle. That’s why Li Qiye’s response seemed careless and arrogant - treating everyone else with contempt.

　　Zhou Qius.h.i.+ and the others turned pale and helplessly stomped their feet. Their attempts at stopping Li Qiye were futile.

　　Offending a True Emperor was more than their academy can chew. Now, he offended a progenitor too.

　　This was dragging their academy down the abyss. The rage of a progenitor might erase everything.

　　Contrary to the anxious youths, Du Wenrui wasn’t worried at all and still had a smile on his face. It was as if none of this had anything to do with him and his academy.

　　Tiger King tried to threaten Li Qiye with his background - rubbing and punching the guy at the same time in order to get him to obediently hand over the treasure.

　　He didn’t expect Li Qiye’s refusal to play along with his plan. Moreover, the guy even insulted his master and grandmaster.

　　“Brat, you’re too conceited!” Tiger King shouted, unable to restrain himself. The other students felt the same way.

　　“What makes you say that?” Li Qiye feigned innocence.
