The Emperor Reigns Them All Chapter 164 Crying

A thought came in Wei Nianci's mind as she saw Su Emei's face. "She is as beautiful as Chang'e."

Wei Nianci's confidence was shattered and she finally understood that Li Ye naturally wouldn't look at her differently with such a fairy in the front. It was said that the one who had seen the ocean would think nothing of rivers; the one who had seen the splendid clouds in Wushan would never be interested in clouds elsewhere. And now, the sea and Wushan were in the front.

Wei Nianci felt helpless.

Lyuluo had already sat down. She looked up and pulled Wei Nianci's sleeve, looking at Wei Nianci curiously with her large, watery eyes. Wei Nianci had no choice but to sit down. But at this moment, Wei Nianci's mood had changed. She no longer had the mood to play tricks to force Li Ye.

Li Ye didn't snub Lyuluo, but he didn't treat her warmly either. As for Wei Nianci, naturally, he didn't pay attention to her... He could see through her with just one glance and one word that she said because he already had hundreds of years of experience before transmigration.

No matter what family backgrounds they had, love was one of the themes of Jianghuers. So many men would be attracted by the swordswomen, while the young swordswomen wanted to win the hearts of the childes who had high cultivation and good family backgrounds to secure the rest of their lives before they got old and retired from Jianghu. Therefore, people could witness a lot of vicissitudes and love stories.

Jianghu was a vanity fair as well as a battlefield. A war without weapons was actually more common than a bloody fight.

After sitting down, Wei Nianci had no confidence to continue to lean towards Li Ye. It was important to know oneself. Even if she was unwilling to admit, Su Emei's beautiful appearance and untainted temperament were too dazzling.

Wei Nianci didn't talk to Li Ye, so Li Ye naturally paid no attention to her, while Lyuluo had curiosity and had been talking with Li Ye happily. Gradually, her small face was filled with brilliance. When Wei Nianci saw her look, she grew very jealous.

"A little girl who hasn't grown up deserves your warm greeting? Although I can't compare with that Taoist, I'm much better than this young girl. Even if I don't talk to you, isn't it too disrespectful of you to give me such a cold shoulder?" Wei Nianci had hatred in her heart.

Unconsciously, her bleak heart was alive again. But this time, she had no fighting spirit anymore but hatred. Wei Nianci glanced at Xu Xianjian who was standing aside like being punished and hated his incompetence. He was so domineering just now, but he was like a loser now!

Wei Nianci took a glance at Li Ye and secretly sneered. "Although you have high cultivation and good family background, you have offended the Wukong Sword Sect today, so you will suffer the consequences later. These two guys are narrow-minded, so I wait and see how you can travel in Jianghu of Lai Prefecture in the future!"

Wei Nianci cursed in her heart and wished that Li Ye would be killed immediately. Previously, she had tried everything to win his favor, but when she knew she couldn't achieve her goal, she wished Li Ye to die immediately.

Before long, Li Ye and the others finished their meal. Yang Feng and the fellows of the carriage gang also left the table to get ready to set out, while Li Ye and the others didn't intend to delay, so he ended the chat with Lyuluo and stood up.

Li Ye seemed to think of Xu Xianjian at this moment, so he turned to glance at Xu Xianjian. He smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with my instruction?"

Xu Xianjian immediately felt the pressure on him disappeared so that his limbs finally could move. He couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment and wanted to fight against Li Ye, however, he knew clearly that he was far behind Li Ye in cultivation, so if he fought rashly, he would ask for an insult. But he was unwilling to lose face in front of Wei Nianci and Lyuluo, so he gnashed his teeth and said, "I wonder which sect you come from? I, the chief, will take the disciples of the Wukong Sword Sect to visit you personally someday!"

"You are the chief disciple of the Wukong Sword Sect?" Li Ye was slightly surprised.

Xu Xianjian thought Li Ye was afraid, so he lifted his chin proudly. In the expectant eyes of Wei Nianci, he sneered. "Now you are scared? I tell you that I am the current chief disciple of the Wukong Sword Sect! You should be careful when you meet the men of the Wukong Sword Sect in Jianghu in the future..."

Lyuluo's small face turned pale immediately and she looked at Li Ye worriedly.

Li Ye smiled. "Wukong Sword Sect is a famous sect, so it cannot be underestimated."

"It's good that you know it!" Xu Xianjian felt very happy and raised his head even higher.

"In this case, this invitation will be handed over to the Wukong Sword Sect by you, the chief disciple." Li Ye took out an invitation to the Kung Fu Championship and threw it on Xu Xianjian.

"It is not so easy to visit my Wukong Sword Sect!" Xu Xianjian said proudly. He didn't expect that the other side would give the Wukong Sword Sect an invitation, so he must have something to ask for. "Well, I'll have a chance to avenge today's humiliation by that time!"

Wei Nianci didn't expect such a turnaround either, so she was beaming immediately and felt more comfortable with Xu Xianjian when she looked at him again. She couldn't help but think that should she get along well with the chief disciple later so that he would help her to vent her anger?

Xu Xianjian opened the invitation and took a look at it. He was stiff all over with his hands trembling. The invitation was like a hot potato, so he had no idea whether he should take it or not. His expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.

When Xu Xianjian looked at Li Ye again, his eyes were full of fear that he couldn't hide. "You, you are..."

The deed of the Black Office's pacifying Qi Prefecture's Jianghu had long been passed to Lai Prefecture. Now, there was no one in Jianghu didn't know the Black Office was the important power of the new commissioner and had many masters.

The Wukong Sword Sect was worse off than some but better off than many. It could defeat the little cultivators but fell far behind the Taoist sect of the Huafuzhu Mountain. After all, the Huafuzhu Mountain was able to suppress its state's Jianghu, while the Wukong Sword Sect was just as famous as the Qingshui Villa and the Jimo Villa in Lai Prefecture, so how could it bear the power of the Black Office?

Li Ye walked out of the restaurant with his hands clasped behind his back. "Turn around and go to Qing Prefecture within three days. Remember that you can't delay for a moment."

Until Li Ye disappeared in the doorway, Xu Xianjian's hands were still trembling and his face was pale.

Wei Nianci was expecting that Xu Xianjian would teach Li Ye a lesson with the power of the Wukong Sword Sect, but she didn't expect that Xu Xianjian would look so frightened when he saw the content of the invitation, so she went forward in puzzlement. "Brother Xu, who is that guy? What's wrong with the invitation?"

Wei Nianci wanted to see the content of the invitation, but unexpectedly, Xu Xianjian slapped her across the face so that she fell on the ground and knocked down the table and chair, the wine spilling all over her.

In Wei Nianci's look of fear, resentment and perplexity, Xu Xianjian, who had been treating her with hospitality, gnashed his teeth with his gaze like a viper. "You b*tch! It's all your fault today! You let the Wukong Sword Sect provoke the person who can't be provoked, so if there is something wrong with the Wukong Sword Sect, I will kill you and all your families and relatives personally before then!"

Done talking, Xu Xianjian called Sun Shangjian, stepping over Wei Nianci, and walked away without looking back.

Covering her face, Wei Nianci was absent-minded for a while as if she had lost her soul.

Although the Wukong Sword Sect couldn't compare with the four big families in Qing Prefecture, it was much powerful than the small gentry family where Wei Nianci was born, so her family absolutely couldn't bear the other side's anger. Originally, she wanted to curry favor with the Wukong Sword Sect, but she didn't like Xu Xianjian's arrogance. Li Ye had high cultivation and was rich, so she wanted to ride on Li Ye's coattails, but she didn't expect that she would end up with nothing. In the end, she had suffered an extremely big insult in public and she even implicated her own family!

Wei Nianci couldn't help crying in her arms.

Lyuluo stared at the empty door blankly, wondering what to do. She knew, of course, that what happened to Wei Nianci was all because of the handsome childe in black. But when they ate together, he looked so gentle. How could he be so feared?

"Who on earth is he?"

...

After leaving the Qingshui Villa, the Black Office was busy handing out invitations. Li Ye also took a few invitations with him. If he met qualified Jianghu forces, he would send the invitations out, but he just didn't expect that he would meet the disciples of the Wukong Sword Sect, who took the initiative to find fault when having a meal.

Li Ye didn't know that Xu Xianjian slapped Wei Nianci because of fear, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't feel strange. Xu Xianjian's fear was partly because of the Black Office and partly because of the Penglai Taoist sect. After all, once he received the invitation of the Black Office, he would offend the Penglai Taoist sect.

Cui Keli returned the invitation to Li Ye and sighed. "Childe Li, I don't know you are a member of the Black Office. I'm so sorry for my ignorance!"

Li Ye took the invitation and put it away. He smiled as he heard this. "I didn't intend to hide from you, but I was forced by the situation. I hope you don't mind."

Cui Keli looked understanding, and then he asked casually, "For your cultivation, I think you have a high position in the Black Office. I don't know if you are familiar with Your Highness Prince An?"

Li Ye said seriously, "Very familiar."

Cui Keli looked at Li Ye with an expression of certainty, which made Li Ye particularly uncomfortable. He wondered if Cui Keli had suspected his identity?

Wei Xiaozhuang ran out to rescue Li Ye unconsciously once again. He said excitedly, "What kind of sect is the Black Office? You're very familiar with Your Highness Prince An? What kind of man is Your Highness Prince An? He is the new commissioner of Pinglu!"

Even Su Emei made a suspicious look.

Li Ye felt extraordinarily embarrassed and thought if they kept asking, he would confess. But this idea was soon suppressed by Li Ye.

Now the fellows of the carriage gang were on the side. There were so many people here and the situation was complicated. If the news leaked so that the Penglai Taoist sect knew his identity, it would definitely send people to assassinate him. It was possible that the headmaster of the Penglai Taoist sect would do it personally. Even if Li Ye didn't fear, he had to consider Cui Keli and the others.

Li Ye answered Wei Xiaozhuang casually, and then he changed the subject. "Why are Mr. Cui's guards missing?"

Wei Xiaozhuang replied immediately, "We met some refugees living outside on the way. They were homeless and particularly poor, so Mr. Cui took them in and asked the guards to take them back to Qing Prefecture."
