Chapter 1211: Li Zhiqiu
Chapter 1211: Li Zhiqiu
Li Fengyi was at a loss for words after hearing Jiang Qing'e's self-introduction. By her side, Li Jingtao and the others were also staring in surprise.
The charming girl in front of them was really Li Luo's fiancee?!
Li Fengyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She turned over and asked Li Luo, "You didn't bribe someone to set this show up, right? If that’s what you did, I'm going to beat you up."
Li Luo chuckled. "Sister Qing'e and I have already paid Grandfather a visit."
Finally, Li Fengyi was convinced that her youngest brother wasn't lying. She stared curiously at Jiang Qing'e. "Back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, Miss Qing'er mentioned that you're much more outstanding than her. I thought she was being too humble, but it seems like she told the truth."
Hearing this, Jiang Qing'e's eyes moved a little. “Miss Qing'er? Is she referring to Lu Qing'er? She has come to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent as well?”
From the side, Li Luo explained in a hurry, "Qing'er has gone to the Golden Dragon Mountain. Previously, she passed by the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and we happened to meet."
Jiang Qing'e nodded quietly. She did not say another word.
At this point, Li Fengyi finally digested the shocking news. She did not hold herself back anymore now that she knew about her new sister-in-law and grabbed onto Jiang Qing'e's arm passionately.
"Qing'e, you're too beautiful. You've even reached the Duke Stage at such an early age and constructed a legendary Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. How did my youngest brother get so lucky to have you?"
"Second Sister, you think too highly of me. Li Luo is just as talented as me. He'll definitely obtain a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried in future too," Jiang Qing'e softly answered. She was not the type of person who would get close to people easily, but she could sense the sincere joy from Li Fengyi. As such, she did not mind her being so close.
Li Fengyi felt even happier as she took in the stunning beauty that was Jiang Qing'e. "The Fairy of Water Qin Yi is well known for her beauty in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. However, she will surely be blown away if she ever sees you, Qing'e."
Jiang Qing'e smiled a little. She was self-aware, but she was never one to show off. Her priority had always been the sword in her hand and her desire to strengthen herself.
Li Fengyi continued to ask about the matters between Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, and Jiang Qing'e answered truthfully.
"I grew up with Li Luo. Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan are both my masters."
Li Fengyi exclaimed and commented with a grin, "Oh! Childhood sweethearts! So sweet."
At this point, the serious-looking Li Foluo, who had not spoken a word all this while, suddenly asked, "You are the disciple of Li Taixuan?"
Jiang Qing'e looked up and stared back at the Guardian General of the Dragon's Fang Guardians. His eyes seemed to be closely observing her.
However, her eyes did not waver. She nodded and replied, "Does the Guardian General have any advice for me?"
Li Foluo was silent for a moment before he shook his head. Forging a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried demonstrated that she was definitely talented enough to be the disciple of Uncle Taixuan.
His weird reaction left Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e a little puzzled. At this point, Li Fengyi pulled Jiang Qing'e closer and whispered into her ear, "Don't mind him. He is a huge fan of Third Uncle. He really respected Third Uncle and wanted to be his disciple. However, he didn't manage to do it, so it's always been on his mind. Now that he knows you're Third Uncle's disciple, he will inevitably compare himself with you. That said, you do have a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried... so your talent is indisputable and there is nothing more he can say."
Li Foluo's mouth twitched a little as he glanced over to Li Fengyi. Feeling his authoritative presence, she quickly turned around and hid behind Jiang Qing'e. Jiang Qing'e's eyes moved a little and she nodded. She then looked at Li Foluo and said, "I will be joining the Dragon's Fang Guardians too. If there's a chance, please give me some pointers, Guardian General."
Li Fengyi took another look at Jiang Qing'e. There was clearly some friction behind her words, as if she was inviting him to do battle. This was too brazen. He was so impressive that even an audacious girl like herself would feel a little frightened when facing him.
After all, ordinary first-grade Dukes would never dare to challenge a mighty fourth-grade Duke like Li Foluo.
"Qing'e, you'll be joining the Dragon's Fang Guardians too? That's great! With your addition, we will be so much stronger!" Li Fengyi exclaimed excitedly.
Li Foluo did not show any signs of anger after hearing Jiang Qing'e's words. He simply nodded and replied, "On behalf of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, I welcome you."
A genius with a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was an addition that everyone would die for. As the Guardian General, there was naturally no reason for Li Foluo to turn her down.
At this point, Li Luo pointed at Li Hongyou. He said with a smile, "There's still Senior Li Hongyou. She was cultivating in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and possesses a lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance."
"Lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance?" Everyone was shocked to hear this. They all looked over at the red-haired Li Hongyou curiously. That was a special supportive resonance that was rarely seen. Moreover, it was at quite a high-grade too.
Even Li Foluo showed a little surprise on his face. A lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance did not have much combat power on its own, but it had a significant impact in larger battles. In fact, it was probably even more impactful than other lower ninth-grade resonances.
With her around, her companions' combat capabilities would skyrocket.
"Thank you very much, Hall Master Li Luo," Li Foluo said to Li Luo. His cold face turned a little warmer.
The two people that Li Luo had brought were a great addition to their team.
"We will be in your care, Guardian General," Li Luo said with a smile. Since he still held the position of Hall Master, Li Foluo did not have any authority over him. However, things would change once he entered the Dragon's Fang Guardians officially.
"Strength is king in the Dragon's Fang Guardians. If you have the ability to do so, you can get any position you want, including mine as the Guardian General," Li Foluo said indifferently with a stern face.
He had a cold personality that not many could get along with. However, Li Luo actually preferred such people to those who said one thing but meant another.
"Let's go back to Heavenly Dragon Peak. We need to report this assassination attempt so it can be investigated," Li Foluo said.
The others had no objection to this. Besides, Ox Biaobiao was injured and needed to rest.
Just as they were about to move out, multiple streams of light flew towards them from the distance. A group of people appeared in front of them.
One of the individuals walked out of the group and asked, "Li Foluo, what happened here? We detected some strong energy waves."
Li Foluo frowned a little when he saw this person.
This individual was wearing a starry silver robe and he had a magnificent presence.
A golden earring shaped like a dragon hung from his earlobe.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e froze for a moment when they saw him. Their memories surfaced within their minds and their faces turned cold.
This was the Dragon's Blood Lineage Duke that had visited the Xia Kingdom with Li Rouyun in the past.
He had arrived before Li Rouyun and tried to cheat Li Luo of his Heavenly Emperor's Writ. Back then, he had a confrontation with Jiang Qing'e, who had ignited her Heart of Light.
He had injured her as well. Although the injuries weren’t serious, he had pushed her into a more precarious situation after her sacrificial ignition of the Heart of Light. It was none other than...
Li Zhiqiu.
