Chapter 108 The Unfathomable Master Li of the Academy
"who are you?"
He turned and glared angrily at the man who walked in, his long sword already drawn. At this moment, he wished he could tear this person who had disrupted his plans to pieces. The man faced the questioning of his enemy's senior brother.
With a gentle smile still on his face, he lightly stroked the beard on his chin and replied.
"Mr. Li from the Academy!"
The impact of those five words was no less than the icy coldness revealed by Helian Yun Shen, and even more explosive, like gunpowder.
"Mr. Li from the Jixia Academy? The teacher of seven of the Eight Princes of the Tianqi Emperor!"
After the eldest brother finished chanting this,
He felt a chill all over his body, and even before any attack or battle, he sensed that his time was coming to an end.
"You've asked all the questions you needed to ask, now it's time to hit the road."
A cold, icy voice, as cold as the ice of the deepest hell, rang out behind them. Before they could turn around or make a move, Helian Yun Shen, who was behind them, had already taken action.
You don't even need to play the jade flute to deal with them.
His eyes released an illusion, and with a wave of his hand, he killed them all with a single palm strike.
In the blink of an eye, the study was filled with corpses. Looking at the bodies, Helian Yunshen looked up at Mr. Li and said respectfully.
"Staying here will spoil our mood. Let's go to the main hall instead."
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
Mr. Li simply uttered those words, and then the two left the study. The butler then approached with his entourage.
Helian Yunshen instructed him to dispose of the corpses in the study.
In the main hall of Helian Yunshen's mansion
"I am very grateful for your help in this matter. It has prevented me from being in such a passive position and from feeling guilty towards Brother Lei."
Arrived here
Facing Mr. Li, Helian Yunshen raised his hand in a gesture of respect and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Upon hearing Helian Yunshen's gratitude, Mr. Li waved his hand and said...
"Meng Sha is my disciple, so I can't just ignore it now that I know. Besides, Xiao Hanyi has great talent, and I also want to take her on as my disciple and teach her."
Actually, I'd really like to take Prince Helian as my disciple.
However, given that Young Master Helian is already so exceptionally talented and powerful, it would be shameless for me to accept him as a disciple.
Later, Mr. Li made no secret of his desire to take Helian Yun Shen as his disciple. However, this idea was destined to fail, as Helian Yun Shen was already so powerful that there was practically nothing left to teach him.
He Lianyunshen smiled slightly in response to Mr. Li's words.
Apprenticeship?
This idea disappeared after his master passed away. He felt that his master had been good to him, and he no longer wanted to become his apprentice.
"You're too kind, senior. My strength is still a bit insignificant compared to yours, after all, you are far stronger than me. Being able to teach Brother Lei and the others, you must be very knowledgeable."
Although I don't intend to become an apprentice, I should still say a few polite words.
Mr. Li was quite pleased to hear such praise. Everyone feels happy to hear kind words; after all, no one dislikes hearing pleasant words.
"Young Master Helian, you are too kind. Given time, I think your achievements may even surpass mine. At that time, I will only be able to look up to you."
As is customary, Mr. Li, having been praised by Helian Yun Shen, naturally felt obligated to reciprocate with a compliment.
Feeling a little embarrassed by such praise, Helian Yun Shen smiled shyly at Mr. Li.
…………
The two sat and chatted in the main hall for a while before Li Xinyue rushed into the main hall of Helian Yunshen's house. It seemed she had been tracking him all the way here.
Seeing her daughter sleeping soundly in Mr. Li's arms, her anxious and impatient heart calmed down, and she went to Mr. Li's side and held her daughter in her arms.
Seeing his sister-in-law rushing over,
Helian Yunshen stood up and apologized to Li Xinyue.
“Sister-in-law, this whole thing started because of me. If I hadn’t been here, those people wouldn’t have thought of using Xiaohan’s clothes to blackmail me and put her in danger.”
"Yun Shen, don't overthink it. This isn't your fault; it's just some underhanded trickery by these treacherous people."
Moreover, my sister-in-law was also negligent in this matter.
Don't overthink it. Just stay here in Tianqi City. When your brother Lei comes back, you can have a get-together."
Although she still harbored some resentment, Li Xinyue knew very well that the fault did not lie with Yun Shen. No one could have predicted such a thing, and the wrong person shouldn't be blamed.
So when Li Xinyue heard Helian Yun Shen's words of guilt and self-reproach, she comforted him with the same kind of reassurance and tenderness one would show to a younger brother-in-law.
I don't want Helian Yunshen to overthink it.
"Sister-in-law, we are so grateful to Mr. Li for his timely intervention. Otherwise, I doubt I could have saved Xiao Hanyi so soon."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Upon hearing Helian Yunshen's words, Li Xinyue expressed her gratitude to Mr. Li. Mr. Li, in response, raised his hand and waved it to indicate that it was nothing, and that it was simply what he should do.
"This child has good talent. How about I teach him?"
"This young lady thanks Mr. Li here."
Hearing Mr. Li's idea, Li Xinyue was naturally very happy. Having Mr. Li teach Hanyi would definitely make Hanyi's future achievements even greater.
…………
After a while,
Li Xinyue did not stay at Helian Yunshen's house for long. After saying goodbye, she took her daughter and returned to her own home, leaving Helian Yunshen and Mr. Li alone at Helian Yunshen's house.
Sensing the unfathomable strength of Mr. Li, Helian Yun felt that he might have reached an even more powerful realm.
He couldn't help but ask him.
"Mr. Li, have you reached the almost legendary realm of divine travel?"
"Why is Young Master Helian so curious about this realm?"
When Mr. Li heard Helian Yun Shen's question, he put down his wine glass slightly, looked up at Helian Yun Shen, and raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Mr. Li's expression, Helian Yun Shen made no attempt to hide his longing and curiosity about this realm.
"Why don't you become my disciple? Then I'll teach you how to reach this realm."
"never mind."
Upon hearing the suggestion to become an apprentice, Helian Yun Shen directly and decisively rejected Mr. Li's proposal, without inquiring about the matter of traveling to the Mystic Realm.
Mr. Li was very surprised by this, wondering what kind of person Helian Yunshen's master was, that he could respect him so much that he didn't want to have another master.
