Many quickly shifted their gaze over towards Yi Chuan. A few sect masters who wanted to chase Li Qiye away looked to Yi Chuan as well.

As the old saying goes, one has to look at the owner before beating their dog. Yi Chuan was a big character in Southern Tang. Anyone would have to show some consideration towards him. The Minor-Form Crown Princes frank attitude towards him was part of the minority.

ABaos group, at this moment, were angrily glaring at Li Qiye. In their eyes, Li Qiye was throwing away their countrys face. He was purposely making it hard for their ruler to step down!

Yi Chuan was a bit embarrassed. He coughed and said: I do know this little friend. He didnt deny being Li Qiyes acquaintance.

Li Qiye waved his hand and said: Me coming here has nothing to do with Royal Lord Yi. Theres no need for all of you to worry, just do as you please.

Haha, brat, if Yi Chuan didnt bring you here, how could you enter in the first place? The crown prince provoked again.

Which eye of yours saw Our Majesty bring him here?! ABao couldnt help but glare at the princes blatant attempt at shaming their king. [1. This expression is not used in English. I could have done when did you see to make it less jarring, but I left it in to maintain the disrespectful/angry tone.]

ABao, do not be rude. Yi Chuan gently shook his head: It is not a big deal even if I brought this little friend here. Our great lords patrol is meant for everyone to see.

Li Qiye only smiled and proceeded to sit even in this situation.

Junior, scram to the side, that isnt a place for you to sit! A royal lord immediately shouted after seeing where he sat down.

Cold glares fell upon him. In their opinion, Li Qiye was truly too outrageous to actually be sitting all the way at the front. They thought that someone like him should be sitting in some obscure corner. Perhaps even the vagrant cultivators would be unwilling to sit beside him.

But now, he did just the opposite and took the front row, grabbing everyones attention. This was simply asking for a beating.

Li Qiye slowly turned around to look at this royal lord and leisurely said: I can sit above the nine heavens, let alone this spot. Shut the hell up!

You The royal lord was shaking from anger and furiously glared at Li Qiye. It was too humiliating to be shouted at by a nobody such as him.

Haha, it seems like someone is relying on Royal Lord Yi Chuans prestige to act so arrogantly. The Minor-Form Crown Prince sneered. His country and Suhang had always been at odds, so he was fanning the flames to humiliate Yi Chuan.

The royal lord who yelled at Li Qiye earlier told Yi Chuan in a serious tone: Royal Lord Yi, if this is your disciple, then discipline him to avoid being shamed before the great lord.

If Li Qiye was Yi Chuans disciple, then it wasnt his place to discipline him, so he wanted to pressure Yi Chuan instead.

Royal Lord Yi, you need to reign in a disciple like this better, how shameful! Junior, go sit behind your senior, this is not the place to act disrespectfully! Another sect master was very unhappy with Li Qiyes actions and coldly voiced his objection.

Even ABaos group was glaring at Li Qiye. Li Qiyes actions made it very awkward for their king and lost him all face.

Yi Chuan was a bit embarrassed. He couldnt help but wave at Li Qiye: Little friend, come sit behind me. You are sitting in a sect masters spot.

Yi Chuans attitude was very friendly towards Li Qiye. If it was someone else, they wouldnt bother protecting Li Qiye.

Li Qiye sat there firmly and motionless. He only smiled and said: Royal Lord Yi, thank you for being considerate, but I rather like this seat right now.

Yi Chuan could only smile wryly at this while ABao indignantly said: Your Majesty, just leave this ungrateful person alone.

The crowd present had all kinds of expressions as they gazed at Li Qiye. Some felt that this brat was crazy while others thought that he was quite interesting. A few sect masters and royal lords thought that Li Qiye was challenging their authority by taking one of their spots.

Junior, if you continue to not know any better, I will throw you out myself. The royal lord from earlier uttered with ill intent.

Shut up. Li Qiye closed his eyes and interrupted him harshly: If you keep buzzing in my ears, Ill twist you up like a piece of bread!

The royal lord vomited blood from anger after hearing this. He immediately stood up while his blood energy erupted!

The great lord is here. Right when this royal lord was about to take action, a message came from outside.

The great lord is here. Everyone inside the garden stood up and went to greet their lord.

The royal lord that wanted to attack Li Qiye scowled and swallowed his anger, then he quickly went to greet the lord as well.

Under the receptive crowd, the current ruler of Southern Tang, the Pure Lotus Schools Ye Chuyun appeared before everyone.

Welcome, great lord. Everyone hurriedly greeted Ye Chuyun. It was not only because she was the great lord of the region, but also because she was a Virtuous Paragon.

Across the entire Barren Earth, very few people in the younger generation were Virtuous Paragons. It could be said that those who reached this level could be counted on ones hand, and she had become one many years ago on top of that. She was plenty powerful enough, someone worthy of being both feared and the pride of her people.

Li Qiye looked for Ye Chuyun who was surrounded by the crowd. After so many years, her style was even more brilliant than before.

She was still wearing an aqua-colored dress and her almond eyes contained a hint of charm and elegance. Her aura of nature was accompanied by a dignified and noble air that had a touch of indescribable femininity.

Unlike the past, the current Ye Chuyuns actions had a world-turning momentum, as if she could cause rain to fall with the flip of her palm.

There was no doubt that reaching Virtuous Paragon carried a great significance. It was the first step into the supreme grand dao, the beginning of a deified title in the future!

Outside of the sect masters and royal lords gathering around her, even regular and vagabond cultivators tried to find an opportunity to introduce themselves and leave a good impression. In the future, if they needed help from Southern Tang or the Pure Lotus School, at least they could pretend to be acquaintances.

Yi Chuan also brought his juniors to meet her. ABaos group was excited to see Ye Chuyun for the first time. For both the males and females, the great lord was their goddess and role model; it was their honor to be able to see her in person.

Ye Chuyun was not arrogant. She nodded her head as a greeting towards everyone. Before she knew it, she was surrounded by sect masters and royal lords.

At this point, her gaze paused for a moment as she inadvertently saw a lone person sitting at the front. His clothes were ragged, but that figure, that figure was all too familiar.

Ye Chuyun was shocked because he had been missing for a very long time. No one knew his whereabouts, but now he suddenly appeared in this place this was quite astounding.

Your Majesty, this beggar snuck in here, let me chase him out! The Minor-Form Crown Prince thought that the great lord was angered by the sight of the beggar and quickly headed for him in order to claim this merit.

Foul Beggar, get out of here, dont defile Her Majestys view! The prince shouted and reached for Li Qiye.

Pop! The prince couldnt catch him before a crisp slapping noise resounded. No one saw how Li Qiye slapped him. The prince spat out a mouthful of blood; all of his teeth were broken.

Little bastard! The prince became furious and wanted to behead Li Qiye.

Ye Chuyun composed herself and shouted: Step down! She was a Virtuous Paragon. Her shout alone was enough to cause the prince to take several steps backward before falling down. He was no longer able to stand up since the gap between the two was too large.

Li Qiye remained seated with dirt and grit all over his face. He looked at her and smiled: Miss Ye, long time no see.

This address left many people breathless. In Southern Tang, no one dared to call the great lord by her name outside of Virtuous Paragons from the previous generation.

Ye Chuyun quickly walked towards him and replied: Brother Li, long time no see. I didnt expect Brother Li to make an entrance. If you told me, I would have personally gone to greet you. [1. I here is this little sister from Ye Chuyun.]

This scene left the sect masters and royal lords present dumbfounded. One could imagine the persons identity if their great lord had to act so politely.

ABaos group behind Yi Chuan watched on in disbelief. Li Qiye was completely filthy. No matter how they looked at him, he was not worthy of such grand treatment.

Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: You are too polite. I have only recently returned and just happened to come to Southern Tang. However, I do have something to ask of you.

Ye Chuyun looked at Li Qiye. Though she didnt know what had transpired, she understood that Li Qiye had experienced something incredible. Just think about it, this man before her could nonchalantly destroy a sect. A slight gesture from him could trap many ancestors from imperial lineages to death. [2. Heavenly Dao Academys arc.]

I will do my best to provide assistance for whatever you need. Ye Chuyun quickly answered: You must be tired from the journey. If you dont mind, how about staying at my place for a few days?

Very well, since Miss Ye is showing such magnificent hospitality, I can only obey. Li Qiye smiled and nodded his head, intending to stand up.

Ye Chuyun quickly helped him up. She gave orders to the disciple next to her before personally accompanying him away.
