Chapter 733 - 79: The Pact with the Ancient Red Dragon_4
They spoke to each other.
Li Guanyi felt that the attitudes of these Palace Masters, as well as Ji Yanzhong’s demeanor towards him, had shifted subtly from the beginning.
Even for figures like them, it was inevitable to be influenced by the legend of the Chi Xiao Sword Master; or perhaps it was precisely because they were Academy Palace Masters that they were more easily disturbed by the tale of the Chi Xiao Sword.
It wasn’t malicious, of course.
But now, what they saw was not Li Guanyi, but the Chi Xiao Sword Master.
The eight-hundred-year legend of the Chi Xiao Sword weighed more heavily than the sixteen-year-old Li Guanyi.
Holding this sword meant bearing the expectations of the people, and also being swept up by these expectations.
Li Guanyi frowned, intent on breaking this atmosphere. Right now, it felt as though in the eyes of the world and the Academy, the Chi Xiao Sword was the focus and Li Guanyi secondary. The so-called Chi Xiao Sword Master was just a vessel for the eight-century-old legend of Chi Xiao.
Li Guanyi raised an eyebrow. He planned to break the current mood in his own way. He was grateful and respectful to these seniors, but he did not want to become a mere footnote to the Chi Xiao Sword legend.
If he couldn’t determine the primary from the secondary now, it would only become harder once he entered the Academy.
