Emperor Hong Star, this is an ancient star at the ninth checkpoint of the Ancient Starry Road. Among the thousands of ancient stars on the Starry Road, this one is considered extremely special because a legend circulates on it. The legend speaks of the inheritance of the immortal Emperor Hong on Emperor Hong Star. Anyone with the surname 'Emperor' couldn't possibly be simple, right?
Li Beifei and his companions arrived at Emperor Hong Star by chance after leaving Nightfall Star. Naturally, they heard the legend, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Legends are, after all, legends, mostly exaggerated and often vastly different from reality.
Even the Demon Suppression Land of Heavenly Desolate Star has a legend of suppressing a peerless evil demon. Yet, for countless years, there hasn't been any great disaster there. Even the city lord of Demon Suppression City was initially only at the Void Breaking Realm. If the legend were true, the Demon Suppression Land would have been divided up by the major immortal forces long ago. How could it be the Yin-Yang Sect's turn to guard Demon Suppression City?
Li Beifei wasn't interested in the legends of Emperor Hong Star, but he was very concerned about the Seven Stars Sword Sect far away on Northern Dipper Star. He didn't know that the old guy he mentioned had indirectly helped him reduce the difficulty. Now, he only needed to face the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and the Skyrend Sword Sect, two quasi-emperor forces. However, unaware of the truth, he was still filled with worry about the future of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Inside Emperor Hong City, the main city of Emperor Hong Star, Li Beifei and his group rented a secluded courtyard. Inside the courtyard, Liu Yanran was making tea for Li Beifei and Bai Yifei, while Liu Yuran was obediently giving Li Beifei a shoulder massage. This scene made Bai Yifei want to rush to the street and hire two maids, but he knew if he did that and the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter found out, he would definitely have to kneel on copper coins and turtle shells. Thinking of this, Bai Yifei decided against it.
However, his envy of Li Beifei couldn't be hidden.
"Brother Bai, there's something I don't know if I should say," Li Beifei said with a strange look in his eyes, subconsciously touching his nose, a small gesture he made when he felt awkward.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yifei felt that Li Beifei was a bit strange today. No, not just today, he had felt that he was a bit odd ever since he met him on Nightfall Star.
"Brother Li, tell me honestly, have you been possessed by some old monster?" Bai Yifei asked boldly.
Li Beifei rolled his eyes and said, "Would you believe me if I said I was possessed by Sword Emperor Li Beichen?"
"No way!" Bai Yifei shook his head decisively. This was the Brother Li he knew. The delicate, girlish posture from just now wasn't something Brother Li could pull off.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I really am the reincarnation of Li Beichen. Otherwise, why would I create the Seven Stars Sword Sect!" Li Beifei said frankly.
"..." Bai Yifei.
"Brother Li, although your name is only one character different from the Sword Emperor's, there are countless people in the world with similar names. Aren't they more like the Sword Emperor's reincarnation than you?" Bai Yifei complained about Li Beifei's name. If having a name similar to the Sword Emperor meant you were his reincarnation, then if he changed his name to be the same as the Longevity Emperor, would he be his reincarnation too?
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. But what I want to talk about today is indeed related to the Seven Stars Sword Sect," Li Beifei said, picking up a cup of hot tea, blowing on it, and pretending to take a sip. In reality, how would he know how to appreciate tea? He usually just gulped it down.
Bai Yifei accepted the tea Liu Yanran poured for him, said thank you, and then said to Li Beifei, "Speaking of which, I'm still a guest elder of our Seven Stars Sword Sect, but until now, I don't even know what the Seven Stars Sword Sect does. Why don't you introduce it to me today?"
Li Beifei didn't hide anything and said, "Actually, the establishment of the Seven Stars Sword Sect was entirely due to a trial mission my master gave me..."
Li Beifei told Bai Yifei about the establishment of the Seven Stars Sword Sect and the problems it was currently facing one by one. At first, Bai Yifei admired Li Beifei's method of acting like a tiger by flaunting the fox's skin and pretending to be weak to fool others, but as he listened, he felt that something was wrong, especially after hearing about the ten-year agreement. He spat out the tea in his mouth, right into Li Beifei's face.
"..." Li Beifei.
"Brother Bai, although this matter is a little unexpected, you don't have to spit on my face, right?" Li Beifei took the towel from Liu Yanran and wiped the water stains on his face, looking depressed.
"Damn, you actually have the nerve to say this is a little unexpected? Those are three quasi-emperor forces, each comparable to our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion! Aren't you pushing us into a fire pit? You pit-filler!" Bai Yifei said indignantly.
Li Beifei touched his nose awkwardly.
Bai Yifei snorted and said, "I was wondering why you've been acting so strange lately. I turned into your appearance and punched you, and you didn't even care. So you have a guilty conscience!"
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. Am I, Li Beifei, the kind of person who likes to be petty? I call that magnanimity, do you understand magnanimity?" Li Beifei was unhappy. How did he become a petty person in your mouth?
"Hehe!" Bai Yifei chuckled. How could he not know what kind of person Li Beifei was? Although he wasn't a narrow-minded person, he couldn't be called magnanimous either. Just average.
Seeing this, Li Beifei directly started acting shamelessly and said, "I don't care. Anyway, you've eaten a lot of my Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pills, and you've even pre-ordered a hundred years. You're stuck on this pirate ship. Want to get off? Fine, return the pills!"
Li Beifei stretched out his big hand and crooked his fingers, his meaning was obvious.
"Not even one less!" Li Beifei laughed, his smile very cheap. Even his two sword attendants had to turn their heads away, afraid that their image of their young master would be ruined. They couldn't help but understand that their young master was tricking people from the start, but there must be a reason for him to do so. That's right, that must be it.
The two women instantly made up a reason for Li Beifei in their minds. Looking at the young master's smile now wasn't so cheap after all!
"No pills, but you can have my life!" Bai Yifei rolled his eyes and also started acting shamelessly.
To deal with a rogue, you can only be more rogue than them.
"What do I want your life for? Hurry up and help me think of a way to get through this. I don't want the sect I built with countless efforts to be destroyed like this," Li Beifei said.
Bai Yifei frowned slightly and said, "Will the senior really be so heartless as to watch the sect be destroyed?"
Li Beifei said seriously, "The old guy really will! You've seen how miserably I was beaten by him in the academy. He's willing to be so ruthless to me, whom he loves and respects so much. He'll be even more ruthless to his disciples and grandchildren."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yifei felt that something was wrong. You claim to respect and love the senior, yet you call him an old guy? I think you're just being mouthy and deserve to be beaten.
"That's not right. The senior is extremely good to Honghong," Bai Yifei cited Honghong as an example.
Li Beifei couldn't help but look at Bai Yifei resentfully, as if to say, how dare you compare me to Senior Sister?
"Anyway, the old guy definitely won't violate the agreement he set himself. Otherwise, where would his face as a Saint... as a Saint-level or above expert go?" Li Beifei was secretly shocked, almost letting it slip. This old guy really likes to hide his identity. If he let it slip, countless slaps might fall from the sky.
"What you said isn't unreasonable. Experts value their promises. But this matter is indeed a bit troublesome!" Bai Yifei's eyes flickered uncertainly.
"A bit troublesome?" Li Beifei's eyes lit up. A bit troublesome meant the problem wasn't big, there was hope!
"I can't count on the old guys in my sect. They always say I don't have enough ambition and wish I would be chased and killed," Bai Yifei stroked his chin, seemingly considering something.
"Then what should we do?" Li Beifei frowned.
"If it's unavoidable, then I'll have to ask my wife to help me!" Bai Yifei said with a smile.
"Damn, despise!"
Li Beifei said with envy and jealousy, you're already calling her wife, you shameless bastard!
"Hehe!"
Bai Yifei chuckled, looking happy.
