Chapter 398 - Thats Nothing!
Li Guanqi smiled and offered a quick fist salute. “Don’t worry about it, Uncle. I’ve been really busy since I got back. There’s been a mountain of things to handle. But the moment I had a breather, I figured I’d come and get a free meal off you.”
A beautiful palanquin needs many hands to lift it.[1] With that line, Li Guanqi was openly placing Ye Tianying on a high pedestal.
The Ye Family had once been nothing more than herb merchants. They had a son, Ye Feng, who joined the Daxia Sword Sect, though he hadn’t made much of a name for himself.
However, everything had changed. The Daxia Sword Sect had quietly become the strongest force in the entire Northern Territory of the Azure Cloud Continent. Everyone was desperate to join it, yet the sect hadn’t announced any recruitment since its reopening. And when it clashed with the Mo Family, one of the top factions in the Eastern Territory, it displayed terrifying strength.
As a result, the Ye Family’s status rose along with the prospering Daxia Sword Sect.
Qiongtai Mountain Residence practically glowed with pride at Li Guanqi’s arrival. He was, without question, the most famous figure on the Azure Cloud Continent in the past two years. Even without his reputation, simply arriving as a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator was enough for the entire estate to greet him with the utmost respect.
Looking at the red carpet unfurled across the ground and the rows of servant girls lined up on either side, Li Guanqi let out a helpless smile. “Uncle Ye... You really don’t need to go this far.”
Ye Tianying laughed heartily and waved. “Alright, that’s enough. Everyone, you’re dismissed.”
The servant girls bowed, offered a polite salute, and then departed.
Li Guanqi sighed in relief.
