Chapter 1722 - 1030: Xiao Yao

Discovering my daughter openly taking advantage of my son’s teacher feels so peculiar.

And after discovering it, my daughter ignores me!

She continues taking advantage!

The dignified and graceful Dragon Queen feels a bit embarrassed.

"Lihlih has always been stubborn... I’ll ask her later."

Ice Venerable’s expression was indifferent: "If we wait any longer, Mr. Sui Yi’s face will turn to mush."

If Ice Venerable’s words are half-joking, then the Dragon Queen’s words are truly impactful.

"Don’t talk nonsense, my daughter never touches mud."

A mom who firmly believes that her daughter has impeccable taste and wouldn’t choose the wrong person to take advantage of...

—Where’s the promised awkwardness?

Sui Yi, like mush, finally moved the corner of his mouth, and Yin Li reluctantly withdrew her hand.

"Sorry, Teacher, it was a misunderstanding by Yin Li."

"It’s okay... consider it a massage," the gentle Mr. Sui Yi graciously replied.

"..."

Yin Li sincerely feels this man is extraordinary; maybe people genuinely find her uniqueness refreshing...

A weirdo.

The Dragon Queen approached to inquire about what had just happened, but before Yin Li could speak, Sui Yi took the initiative: "Lord Lih mistook me for someone else... so I suggested she verify my identity."

Oh~~ So, that’s what happened.

Then you let her verify? And she really did?

She touched your face publicly...

Why not ****?

Yin Li was a bit surprised Sui Yi spoke for her, but...

"It was Lihlih’s mistake," Yin Li admitted the error, and the Dragon Queen, fair as usual, just scolded her a few times...

Then she was punished to reflect behind closed doors for several days.

A few days would suffice, considering Yin Li’s special status, holding command over many Dragon Faction forces, making it impossible to keep her confined for long.

Yin Li then left, showing little interaction with Ice Venerable and Yan Jingan.

Seemed very indifferent.

Sui Yi had seen this person teaming up with Ice Venerable to kill, and he had no opinions about Yan Jingan; he even allowed entry into Coiling Dragon Tower...

Honestly, Sui Yi found this mother and daughter pair quite peculiar.

After Yin Li left, Ice Venerable looked at Sui Yi, "I need to talk to you, will you come with me?"

Could Sui Yi refuse?

The Dragon Queen eyed Ice Venerable, "I wondered why Ice Venerable visited me today, perhaps it’s part of a larger scheme? Jingyan, are you also here for that reason?"

Yan Jingan glanced at her, "As if the Dragon Queen herself invited me."

The Dragon Queen laughed, "It’s just because I wanted to see you, alright?"

Having said that, she took Yan Jingan away...

Ice Venerable stood side by side with Sui Yi, Yan Jingan looked back and smiled.

Sui Yi also slightly smiled.

Always feeling the Dragon Queen’s attitude toward Yan Jingan was a bit odd.

"Having just been touched on the face by a woman, now watching a woman drool over... busy business indeed."

Sui Yi glanced back at Ice Venerable with a smile, "Ice Venerable should add, I’m also accompanied by a woman, making business not only busy, but downright overwhelming."

Ice Venerable glanced at him, smiling, walking away, pulling at the corner of his mouth.

A quiet statement: "There’s someone from Thousand Buddha among the Academy’s students."

Sui Yi’s steps truly halted.

"Ice Venerable, care for a drink?"

——————

A teahouse across from Coiling Dragon Tower, Sui Yi and Ice Venerable sat face to face.

Though the Academy battle had nothing to do with Sui Yi, if Thousand Buddha infiltrated someone and Yi participated, Sui Yi couldn’t help but pay some attention.

So the two sat face to face.

"In our view, the noteworthy character in Thousand Buddha is nothing more than Ancestor of Thousand Buddhas, yet to your live-in beauty, they pose real danger."

Ice Venerable had been hunting Thousand Buddha recently, and no one knew how fruitful it had been, because Ice Gleam was as cold as inheriting Lord Ice Venerable’s demeanor.

But now she’s speaking in detail.

"Void-breaking Level creatures have been moving around outside, under surveillance and haven’t said killed them, but now only one remains most troublesome: Feng Su, skilled in assassination and disguise, while Cloud Ascendant Level—I’ve slain parts—listed hanging dozens of heads, including those most difficult among whom is Bone Demon, and Bone Demon is adept at disguise; even Star Fall Level can’t discern it."

How is that possible?

With some thought, Sui Yi said: "Bone Folding Skill?"

"Bone Demon possesses extremely rare pliant bones, naturally able to fold body into various shapes, skin can shift with blood flow, transforming into anyone... should this one choose to hide, even I couldn’t trace them... They’re also Thousand Buddha’s most trusted talent. Based on Thousand Buddha’s habits, what task would they assign Bone Demon?"

Sui Yi squinted.

"Come for me but won’t directly kill me, instead hide beside me, or act against those around me to gain leverage in threatening me."

Threaten with what?

Ring of the Witch Emperor!

And they would act after acquiring the Ring of the Witch Emperor.

"And the one most noticeable among those around you is Yi."

Therefore, someone from Thousand Buddha surely infiltrated the students.

Waiting for the right moment to act against Yi.

This intel is quite valuable.

"Thanks."

Sui Yi received the information and intended to leave, only to find Ice Venerable grabbing her sleeve.

"Are you just going to walk away after taking advantage?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the young server delivering the drinks and food jerked his hand, instinctively glancing at Ice Venerable’s radiant beauty, then at Sui Yi’s average appearance...

The gaze was clear—looking like that yet daring to take advantage?

Animals.

Might as well take advantage a few more times.

Sui Yi was helpless too, slightly lowering his voice, and said, "With your status, how can you say such things? Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood?"

"Did I say anything? If your reputation were better, why would anyone think otherwise?"

Ice Venerable looked indifferent.

So it’s all my fault, huh?

While the two were talking, they suddenly noticed a group of people coming up the staircase, seemingly looking for someone.

Checking around and asking questions.

The people around were curious, and since everyone here was wealthy or noble, how could they let anyone search freely? But seeing the badges on the other party’s clothes, they endured it.

"It’s from the Starshine Government District..."

"Can’t afford to provoke them."

"Who are they looking for this time..."

"Heard... they’re looking for a woman..."

A group at a neighboring table seemed to have some background, quickly started talking sneakily.

Seductive Tower... Xiao Yao... Greedy Wolf Star...

The two exchanged a glance.

Looking for Xiao Yao?

Did Xiao Yao escape?

Moreover, it seems it’s not just a simple matter of escaping. These Starshine people seem very murderous.

Ice Venerable frowned, quickly pinched her fingertips, and a butterfly of ice and snow formed, fluttering away and disappearing in an instant. Sui Yi knew she was definitely ordering her subordinates to investigate, or... her subordinates had already started the investigation and would soon relay the information.

Sui Yi sipped a cup of tea, seeing the Starshine people approaching.

The opposite party obviously focused on examining women. Upon seeing Sui Yi and the other, they were going to head over, but upon seeing Ice Venerable, they dared not offend and saluted before moving past. Suddenly, a conflict erupted at a corner table. Sui Yi looked up and saw a musician from Seductive Tower and a Dancing Girl. The two had guessed Xiao Yao was in trouble and were about to leave and consult with Wen Ji when they were caught by Starshine people. The Starshine people had grudges with Seductive Tower and unrestrainedly wanted to use the pretext to confront them physically, naturally angering them into action...

This action played right into the hands of the Starshine people; a crowd surged forward...

And so, a fight broke out.

With the numbers on their side, the two from Seductive Tower were no match for the others, quickly getting injured and about to be apprehended by the Starshine people. If they fell into their hands, they’d be in deep trouble, if not dead.

So...

Sui Yi frowned slightly, curling his index and middle fingers.

Just about to act.

"Damn it! Can’t stand watching anymore, always bullying women!"

At a table, a group of loose cultivators, all bulky, and muscular cultivators. Sui Yi took a look, some seemed familiar, maybe those he saw at the Ice Gleam High Wall before... one of them seemed to be called Gao Li.

These people said nothing and charged directly at the Starshine people. With a few exchanges, they rescued the two women from danger, but also put themselves at risk, not even at the Cloud Ascendant level, while several Starshine people were Cloud Ascendant, with one Cloud Ascendant coming downstairs and another flying in from outside the window, sealing Gao Li and his companions’ escape route.

"Where did these mutts come from, dare to provoke our Starshine gov~ernment!"

A Cloud Ascendant appeared and reached out to grab the strongest, Gao Li...

Not everyone can fight across levels.

Gao Li already felt sharp pain in his throat, then...

Suddenly, he felt a cool, swift, and sharp stream flowing behind his head.

To be precise, it was Sword Flow.

This Sword Flow naturally couldn’t compare to Yan Jingan’s vast and mysterious swordsmanship, yet it was incredibly pure; just like a cloud.

The cloud’s drift is clean, the wind’s speed fierce, a stream of Sword Flow repelled the Cloud Ascendant Swordsman’s sword.

Another Sword Flow entangled, piercing the techniques of the magician outside the window’s hands and then surged towards his head... Boom!

The magician’s forehead guard emitted light, Defense!

The forehead guard cracked, the magician leaped backward, looked pale at the young man who had appeared behind Gao Li.

The young man looked quite young, wearing long pants and a black vest, holding a simple, elongated ancient sword, with swordsmanship’s cloud aura flowing through him.

Everything else inconspicuous, only feeling tall and handsome, a pair of eyes especially sharp, obsessed with swords... almost obsessive.

Normally, such people are incredibly brave.

"Who are you!"

Two of the Starshine Cloud Ascendants were intimidated by the swordsman.

But relying on Starshine’s government, they gathered some courage.

"Yun Liu"

Even with this name, it was enough to recognize the affiliation with Purple Sky Academy behind him.

Top Chief Student of Purple Sky!

"You’re from Purple Sky Academy, why act against the Government District?"

Yun Liu remained expressionless, "Because I want to, so I do."

How incredible, acting because I want to!

"Incredibly brave, courting death!"

The two Cloud Ascendants attacked together from inside and outside, their aura strong, Yun Liu swept his gaze and leaped out the window.

The two Cloud Ascendants naturally followed, battling mid-air.

Equal strength.

One versus two, yet evenly matched.

Such a remarkable Chief Student.

The entire teahouse marveled.

However, Sui Yi knew trouble would soon find Yun Liu.

Because she felt Qin Mang’s presence nearby.

Here they come!

Qin Mang was a Void-breaking Level Master, unlike those two First Level individuals.

With just one move, he could instantly defeat Yun Liu.

And Qin Mang had just detected and was flying straight here...

"Purple Sky Yun Liu, courting death!"
