The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 182 My Brother Li



Chapter 182 My Brother Li

“He is here?” Su Emei turned her head and could not hold back her shock when she saw the person standing at the courtyard door.

Li Ye was about to enter the door when his feet subconsciously stopped moving. He saw Su Emei with the little maidservant in a green skirt. He thought that this maidservant looked familiar, “Isn’t she the silly girl I met last time? Why is she sitting together with Su Emei?”

Li Ye was very upset because he intended to rest. But being followed by the Junior Priestess was a little uncomfortable, so he wandered around everywhere. When he heard the voice of Su Emei, he wanted to pop in and have a look, but he wasn’t expecting to see the scene before his eyes.

Just as Li Ye and Su Emei were both in a trance, the little lovelorn maidservant had already run towards Li Ye like a gust of wind. She lifted her red, apple-like face and was about to say something, but she was too excited to think of something to say. Having mumbled for what seemed like ages, no words came out. But her clear big eyes were extremely adorable.

The little maidservant felt so embarrassed for her actions that finally, she just stomped, turned around and ran back to the house. Not knowing where she had gone to, only a burst of noise could be heard as though something had been stumbled.

Li Ye sighed and shook his head; he decided not to go in and slip away in case he scared the little girl and made both feel so embarrassed.

Li Ye had disappeared when Su Emei came to her senses. She looked back at the little shy girl who had wrapped herself in a quilt crying. Suddenly she felt a little confused and thought, “Could it be that Li Ye is not actually ugly, but a rare handsome man?”

That was a serious question. So Su Emei decided to talk it over with the little girl.

This time, Li Ye really planned to go to rest. He asked a Black Office cultivator to pick a place for him. Without traveling very far, they entered a courtyard. It seemed to be a guest room of the villa as the bedding was new, Li Ye was very satisfied. Now daylight was already breaking, he decided to take four hours off and then return to Qing Prefecture at noon.

Ignoring the Junior Priestess’ existence, Li Ye went to sleep on the bed immediately.

The Junior Priestess couldn’t believe that Li Ye dared to sleep in his clothes in front of her without any hesitation.

She had intended to consume Li Ye’s energy to disturb his peace by following him. Although she knew that this strategy would certainly not succeed, because Li Ye can drive her away at any time. But seeing that Li Ye didn’t push her away and just went to sleep, the Junior Priestess was a little taken aback and didn’t know what to do.

She simply stood by the bed and looked at Li Ye without moving. She didn’t believe that Li Ye would fall asleep like this.

But her actions made her look extraordinarily ghostly.

However, Li Ye did fall asleep.

There was a faint flame burning in the Junior Priestess’ dauntless eyes when she gradually realized that fact.

She was furious.

She couldn’t help getting angry at the fact that Li Ye did not care about her feelings.

She wanted to do something with the flying leaves, like cutting his throat.

But she knew she couldn’t do it. Since Li Ye dared to go to sleep without hesitating, he knew he was protected. Although the Junior Priestess could sense that there was no ambuscade around them, Li Ye was still the Grand Prince of the emperor, the commissioner of the town. Seeing the way he dealt with Chen Beiwang and Wang Hanshan, he was a person with a meticulous mind and a sultry attitude, which meant he would never give her any chance of assassination.

Junior Priestess did not move at all.

Four hours passed quickly. Li Ye woke up on his own and stretched. Li Ye was slightly surprised at seeing the Junior Priestess standing on the edge of the bed and staring at him. “You couldn’t have stood there all this time?”

The Junior Priestess kept silent.

Li Ye was heedless of it since he had never heard her speak. He calmly got up and requested for food service.

The Junior Priestess followed him to the dining hall. She stood behind him as he sat down at the dinner table. She looked more like a guard rather than an assassin.

Li Ye thought that it was quite nice to have the Junior Priestess as a personal guard. When the food was on the table, he invited the Junior Priestess to sit down. After a few moments of hesitation, she sat down to eat with Li Ye. Her movements were light but firm.

Li Ye was not surprised at all by the Junior Priestess’ actions for he knew that there was no chance that she would go on a hunger strike.

After eating, the people had already assembled, and Li Ye did not hand around further in Qingshui Villa. He rushed back to the Qing Prefecture with his large team.

...

The Wei Family.

Wei Shinan had been sitting for half a day in his study on the east side. The sunlight penetrated the window and showered everything before him. Even the ground was magnificent, and the brighter it was, the more it accentuated his dark shadow.

Wei Nianci walked into the study and brought some tea cakes to place it beside Wei Shinan and whispered, “Father, tomorrow, the hero invitation’s three-day time limit is up. I have already asked family to prepare well and we can leave at any time.”

Wei Shinan did not respond.

Wei Nianci licked her lips and continued, “I just received news that there was a war in Qingshui Villa between the Black Office and Penglai Taoist sect in the preceding days. Even the Penglai master was there, but they still lost in defeat, and Prince An... the envoy was there.”

Wei Shinan was shocked and added in disbelief, “They were defeated even with the Penglai Taoist involved in the battle?”

Wei Nianci proceeded with a heavy tone, “Many Jianghu powers that received invitations had sent their men to hide in the village close to the Qingshui Villa. They wanted to see what the Wangs were planning. Rumor has it that first there was the battle of the cavalries, which had left thousands of corpses on the ground. Pinglu’s thousand or so cavalry had all died in the battle... even Zhang Jiuling had been stopped by some mystery master, so he had to escape.”

“On the second day, all the people in Qingshui Villa were evacuated to the Qing Prefecture. There were rumors that Chen Beiwang had been cut by the ruthless envoy for deploying soldiers at will, and his family was also sentenced to death! Wang Hanshan had betrayed and now served the envoy. He was planning to return to the Qing Prefecture to investigate the Chen Family!”

Wei Nianci’s voice had gotten louder, but she still couldn’t help but tremble.

Wei Shinan was startled and paced up and down with his hands clasped behind his back. He suddenly stopped and added, “You said that the envoy arrived in person? He was actually there?”

Wei Nianci ground her teeth and added, “There were rumors that he had been there for a long time, even before the Black Office, concealing his identity...”

Wei Shinan was totally taken aback, being stupefied for a moment, he then added, “What about other Jianghu powers? What were their reactions?”

Wei Nianci added, “They all headed for the Qing Prefecture with or without invitations. Now that the Penglai Immortal and Taoism conference no longer exists, the Jianghu cultivators only know the Qing Prefecture still has the Kung Fu Championship. Those cultivators that had traveled east to Penglai before are all now headed west towards the Qing Prefecture!”

Wei Shinan couldn’t speak at all, suddenly falling into the chair.

Wei Nianci hesitated for a moment. “On that day, the battle of the Black Office cultivators and the Penglai Taoists did not just happen in our home, but also everywhere in the Lai Prefecture. And almost everywhere the Penglai Taoists had lost... It was said that the master of the Wukong Sword Sect did not accept the invitation brought to him by Xu Xianjian. So He and most of his Wukong Sword Sect, alongside Xu Xianjian had been killed by a cultivator who was holding a spear and carrying a wounded companion. That cultivator had battled all the way up the mountain in the heavy rain, and blood stained thousands of stone steps...”

Wei Shinan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly stood up and grabbed Wei Nianci’s arm and said, “Quickly, take people to Qing Prefecture! Don’t wait for tomorrow, go now, don’t delay for a moment!”

Wei Nianci had to bite down hard to endure the pain in her arm from being grabbed so hard. When Wei Shinan finally calmed down, she took two steps back while clasping her fist in her hand and answered, “Yes.”

Leaving the study and out of the yard, Wei Nianci stopped at the door, she covered her forehead with her hands and looked at the sky. The sun was very glaring, while she thought, “When the immortals fight, it’s the mortals who suffer.” When in turmoil, medium forces like them were much like duckweed, which had to follow the waves.

...

Having offloaded the goods, returning with empty carts was an easy thing to do. However, before returning, the carriage gang would normally set up a big meal. Yang Feng’s banquet had been going on for more than two hours, and there was no sign of ending.

On the same day, Cui Keli and others stayed at the courier station at night. And as it was not far from the destination, the carriage gang did not stay with them. They arrived at the destination before dark. When Yang Feng looked for them the next day, all of them had left. Although the guards of the nursing custodians were still there, Childe Li was already gone, which made him feel very regretful. After all, he and Childe Li really got on well. It was a pity that he missed the childe.

However, Yang Feng met a like-minded woman. Although they had only known each other for half a day, they already had the feeling of meeting each other too late. She also only reached the Warrior Mentor Realm like him, but she was bold and forthright like a man, which was very much to the liking of a true Jianghu man like Yang Feng.

Now the swordswoman was sitting with Yang Feng. They were sitting in the same position, with one leg on the stool and a large bowl of wine at hand.

Yang Feng was enraptured to say, “Why do I say that my brother is very powerful, let me tell you. It’s known that the Wang family is frightening, right? Being one of the four families of Qing Prefecture and also one of the four major families of Pinglu. On that day, Childe Wang brought dozens of his men to bother us, including the masters of the mid Qi-refining level who injured my master straight away. They were like Yama, the master of death, but so what. It took brother Li’s two Taoist Masters no more than 10 breaths to finish them off!”

The woman was tall, almost matching up to Yang Feng. But she had an exquisite baby face. She couldn’t help laughing while waving her big hand and add, “Ah Yang Feng, can you brag a bit more? Masters of the mid Qi-refining level, ha! Why don’t you say the Spiritual Master Realm? Drink this bowl of wine!”

Yang Feng stared at her and added, “You don’t believe it? They were really masters of the mid Qi-refining level! Truth be told, the last the Wang family that fought was so fast that I couldn’t make out his image. But even he could not even make a move in front of brother Li!”

The woman smashed the table angrily and added, “Stop that bullsh*t, you’ve gone too far!” “Finish the wine and let me tell you about madam Wei Nianci. She is skilled and powerful beyond measure. I had fought her!”

“I’m quite sure the little Madam Wei is definitely no match for brother Li.” Yang Feng snorted, picking up his bowl, and clinked her bowl heavily.

“I’m quite sure that your brother couldn’t hold a candle to Miss Wei!”

The swordswoman drank half of her wine before squirting out, spraying Yang Feng in the face. Before the stunned Yang Feng could get angry, the swordswoman lowered her body and pulled Yang Feng over in front of her, and said mysteriously, “That is madam Wei, Wei Nianci! There she is, she is here. We’ve had beef, and she must be here for revenge!”

Yang Feng suddenly turned around and saw a familiar face walking in surrounded by several guards. She looked around the lobby and frowned slightly, as though she was unhappy for not finding a free table.

“That is madam Wei? Why does she look so familiar?” Yang Feng whispered.

The swordswoman snorted and pulled Yang Feng back and said, “You know everyone don’t you?”

Her movements had too much force and were too big that she lost her balance. As the pulled Yang Feng down from the stool, Wei Nianci looked over in their direction and immediately recognized her.

The swordswoman was as pale as ashes, and she then added, “I’m done! I’m finished! She has seen me...”

Wei Nianci walked towards them. Her eyebrows lifted as her eyes fell on the swordswoman, and she then added with a look of hostility. “Mei Xiaoyu?”

Mei Xiaoyu, the swordswoman knew that she was in trouble. But she did not want to lose face, so she held her head high and added, “So madam Wei, you want to start something?”

Wei Nianci added with clenched teeth, “Don’t think you can get away with hitting my men! Take her!”

As she was speaking, the men behind her started to fight, and they were two Practitioners of Qi techniques.

Mei Xiaoyu contracted from the fright, she started running with her head in hands.

Just at that moment, a suspicious voice could be heard, “Feng Yang? You are still here?”

With that voice, a graceful childe entered the door. Seeing the childe, Yang Feng was suddenly overjoyed and added, “Brother Li!”

However, Mei Xiaoyu was surprised to see that the extremely arrogant Wei Nianci was now shocked. Turning around stiff, she immediately leaned over and bowed down after seeing him. “It’s an honor, Childe Li!”

Unexpectedly, Childe Li completely ignored Wei Nianci, and went straight to Yang Feng. Childe Li patted him on the shoulder and added, “You haven’t returned yet?”

“I am on my way now!” Yang Feng smiled brightly and immediately introduced with Mei Xiaoyu. “This is the brother Li that I was telling you about!”

Mei Xiaoyu looked at Wei Nianci, who did not dare to get up, and looked at Yang Feng, whose face was now lit up. She opened her mouth widely said, “So, you were not bragging after all?”
