"You are Emperor Ruyan, this amount of time is nothing. And as my sword bearer, you can't be too weak, you have to practice," Li Qiye sighed.
"You'd better kill me. I'm tired. Destroy me!"
At this moment, Liu Ruyan had no intention of moving at all, like a salted fish, and she regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would not have chosen this way to die.
No, I should not have thought of targeting Li Qiye from the beginning. I should have used him to get rid of that dead licker, and I wouldn't have lost both my money and my life.
Li Qiye looked like a refined gentleman, but in fact he was a vicious wolf, the kind that would eat people without leaving any bones behind.
"I can't let you die like this. It's not easy to find a sword servant as good as you. At least I have to wait until I sharpen my sword enough." Li Qiye smiled.
"I have never seen anyone as despicable as you," Liu Ruyan cursed angrily, wiping the remaining food from the corner of her mouth.
“How dare you say that about your young master? You are so disrespectful! You deserve to be punished!” Li Qiye said in a low voice, and slapped his big hand hard.
"what……"
Liu Ruyan felt pain and stared with wide eyes. If eyes could kill, she would have killed this bitch tens of thousands of times.
Thinking of the bleak life she would have to face in the future, Liu Ruyan's eyes were dull and she felt that her life was dark. She wished she could hit herself to death with a piece of tofu.
Li Qiye knew his limits very well. After he finished walking, he started to be sincere and asked, "Isn't that Ye Chen very good to you? He is willing to give you all his wealth. Why do you treat him with disdain?"
"What kind of thinking is this? Just because he treats me well, do I have to like him?" Liu Ruyan was indignant and looked at him like an idiot.
Then, her mood turned low, and she said: "Besides... he is the son of my enemy. No matter how good he is to me, I will not like him."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Li Qiye showed some interest and felt that there was something big going on here.
Liu Ruyan also spoke freely, without hiding anything. Since the two of them had come to this point, there was no point in hiding her little things. She even had some small thoughts.
"Eight years ago, my family was falsely accused of treason and almost beheaded. At that time, my father sought help from Ye Qingtian, the prefect of Qingzhou, in order to save the lives of his family. But that beast actually fell in love with my mother and insisted that my mother sleep with him for one night before he would save my family."
Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth as she spoke, her eyes filled with deep cruelty, as if she wanted to eat someone.
After a pause, she continued, "And my worthless father sent my mother away without a second thought in order to save his life, and even arranged a marriage between me and Ye Qingtian's son. I remember very clearly that my mother burst into tears when she heard about it, but just a few days after she was sent away, we heard the tragic news that she had died in the Ye family."
Liu Ruyan was already in tears at this time, and couldn't help crying: "Only...only I know that my mother couldn't bear the humiliation and was tortured to death by that beast Ye Qingtian..."
"Woo~wu~wu~"
Her tears, as big as beans, flowed down and fell on Li Qiye's chest. The sadness that had been buried for a long time could no longer be held back and poured out.
Li Qiye did not speak, but just hugged her tightly, stroked her soft back, and listened to her story patiently.
"After my mother died, my worthless father dealt with the matter hastily and remarried without even allowing my mother into the family tree, believing that it would be a disgrace for her to enter the family ancestral hall. But I know that my mother sacrificed herself to protect this family and me."
"Later, my vicious stepmother drove me to the Ye family. She said it was to cultivate feelings, but she was afraid that I would fight for the family property."
"At the Ye family, I originally wanted to use my beauty to entangle Ye Qingtian's son Ye Chen so that I could take the opportunity to take revenge. I never thought that Ye Chen was actually a sickly person. The doctor said that he would not live for many years.
So Ye Qingtian coveted me again, but he didn't take action directly because of his son. But once his son died, you can imagine what would happen to me.
In order to survive and take revenge, I heard about the sword test at Mingjian Villa, so I took the opportunity to ask Ye Chen to take me out to watch so that I could escape."
After Liu Ruyan finished her story, the hatred in her heart did not diminish, but grew deeper and deeper. She clenched her fists tightly, with hatred for the Ye family and for her father who had abandoned his wife and daughter.
Li Qiye did not persuade her. In this situation, if she did not avenge herself, she would not let it go, and it would be even harder to forget.
"Master, can I ask you for a favor? I want to learn martial arts." Liu Ruyan wiped her tears, her eyes slightly red, and propped herself up to reveal a large area of snow-white body.
Although she had practiced martial arts, she only learned some basic skills and could not learn advanced martial arts at all, so now she is not even at the eighth level.
"As long as you are willing to teach me martial arts, I can ask you to do anything in the future. Even if it is that kind of thing, I am willing to persist until you are satisfied and will never stop."
Liu Ruyan's eyes were burning. Li Qiye was her hope now. She did not expect him to help her get revenge. She just wanted to practice martial arts and do it herself.
She used to put her hopes on conspiracy and trickery, but now she has seen how powerful the people in the martial arts world are, and knows that in the face of all powerful forces, everything is illusory.
If she had the strength of Li Qiye, how could she not take revenge?
Seeing that Li Qiye did not move, Liu Ruyan became ruthless, endured the pain somewhere, turned over, and prepared to satisfy him herself.
"Wait, I promise you," Li Qiye stopped her and agreed as he looked at this stubborn and pitiful woman.
"But don't be too happy. Martial arts is something that depends a lot on personal talent. Some people can only master it after practicing a profound martial arts manual for a lifetime, while some people can master it in one go. For example, I also need to persist. Martial arts cannot be mastered overnight."
Li Qiye said this with a bit of self-praise, but he didn't know how he could say this. A guy who relied on the system would always add deep blue points.
"I will try my best," Liu Ruyan said firmly
"Okay, I will teach you martial arts starting tomorrow."
"Sir, can we start now? I want to hurry up and practice." Liu Ruyan wanted to practice martial arts as soon as possible. She was afraid that her enemy might die of old age or die in the hands of others.
“Now, are you sure?” Li Qiye was surprised and glanced at her, as if to ask, can you still move?
Liu Ruyan's eyes were flushed, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on learning now. She had already started learning so late, and if she didn't hurry up, it would be too late.
Looking at Liu Ruyan putting on her clothes, Li Qiye felt deeply humiliated!
However, he decided to teach her the inner strength first, to improve her realm first, and then talk about it later.
"Listen carefully, I will teach you the secret method of Mingyu Gong. If you practice it to perfection, you can enter the realm of free and easy heaven."
"The bright ones are the sun and the moon. The sun and the moon cycle, the light and darkness blend, and life continues forever. This is the law of nature..."
Chapter 40 Apocalypse City
In the bright morning, Li Qiye stretched his body and turned around to see that Liu Ruyan was still sitting cross-legged practicing martial arts.
I have to say that young people are in good spirits. After high-intensity exercise every day, they can still practice martial arts all night. I just want to ask you if you are awesome.
"Young Master, you are awake. I will go get you some water to wash your face." As soon as Liu Ruyan wanted to move, she felt dizzy and painful.
Li Qiye came to her side in an instant and supported her. He then sent a breath of internal energy to flow through her body, guiding her to cultivate the Qi that had been blocked by the rapid practice and helping her to relieve fatigue.
"Thank you, sir!"
"You, don't be too hasty in practicing martial arts. If you are not careful, you will go crazy. In serious cases, your meridians will be broken and you will die," Li Qiye warned sternly.
If it weren't for the gentle "Ming Yu Gong" that emphasizes the endless internal force, any other method would have to destroy itself.
"I'm sorry, sir. I know I was wrong."
Liu Ruyan lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Her martial arts talent is not very good, it can only be said to be average. She has not practiced the Mingyu Gong to the first level in two days, otherwise she would not be like this.
Unless you want to practice martial arts to an unfathomable level and practice hard day and night, it is a very pleasant thing to just practice the mind method.
"Take it slow, combine work and rest. In addition to internal strength, there are also moves. The true energy can be improved with the help of external objects, but the moves cannot. If you can refine the sword quickly, it is not impossible to kill enemies of higher levels."
Li Qiye painted a big picture for her, saying that she would be free and unrestrained, and that she would be invincible in the realm she could reach.
"Can you really do it?" Liu Ruyan's eyes shone.
"Yes, yes, yes, this young master never lies. I have been called an honest young man since I was a child." Li Qiye nodded and said seriously.
"Please teach me how to forge a sword," Liu Ruyan said in a bright voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate.
"Cuckoo..."
Suddenly, a white pigeon flew over from a distance and landed on Li Qiye's shoulder. There was a small bamboo tube tied to its claws.
"I'm afraid it won't work today. There's a big business coming, so we have to go to Tianqi City." Li Qiye checked the contents of the letter and said
This is a big deal, the price is high, it can even allow him to collect enough money to advance to the Great Free Heaven Realm, even visiting Yan Liuli to reminisce about the past will have to be put on the back burner.
……
On the official road to Tianqi City, two horses were seen galloping, and the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky.
The person on the horse was Li Qiye and his newly recruited swordsman Liu Ruyan, who had a graceful figure and beautiful appearance.
Li Qiye held the reins tightly, leaning forward slightly, as if he had merged with the horse under his crotch, galloping forward at lightning speed, while Liu Ruyan followed closely behind.
Along the way, dust was flying and wind was whistling. Time was money for Li Qiye. The client asked him to reach Tianqi City within three days.
It turned out that he didn't want to bring Liu Ruyan with him. After all, she was too weak and would suffer if she traveled so long and fast. But he couldn't help it if she insisted on following him.
Liu Ruyan now regarded Li Qiye as her hope for revenge, so she dared not separate from him for a moment, fearing that he would abandon her and run away.
Traveling day and night, it only took them two days to get close to Tianqi City, less than 20 miles away.
"Ruyan, are you okay?" Li Qiye slowed down his pace and walked slowly, looking at Liu Ruyan, whose face was slightly pale.
"Sir, I'm fine. Let's continue on our journey!" Liu Ruyan said while holding on to her tired body. In fact, she felt so sick that she wanted to vomit, but she just didn't want to be abandoned by him, so she kept insisting.
She thought about using her beauty to please men to achieve her goal, but she ended up failing. For a handsome master like Li Qiye, how could he be short of beauties?
Once she got tired of playing and lost her value, she would be abandoned. She had to keep Li Qiye in other ways and prove that she was not a vase, so that she could stay for a long time and learn skills.
"No hurry, we are very close to Apocalypse City, it's okay to go slowly"
Li Qiye shook his head. Even if he was running so fast, he felt a little tired, not to mention a soft woman.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind him, and the voice was very familiar.
"Hey, Qiye, wait for me, why are you running so fast?" A fiery red figure was riding a horse behind him and yelled, waving his hand.
"Lei Erha!" Li Qiye was stunned. How did this guy run behind him?
At the same time, there was another person traveling with Lei Mengsha, who was also walking slowly behind him. In the middle of the road, there was a luxurious carriage and some maids holding musical instruments.
"Didn't you say you had something to do and wouldn't come to Apocalypse City for the time being? Why did you run ahead of me..."
As he approached, Lei Mengsha kept asking questions. Then he turned and saw Liu Ruyan who was with Li Qiye. His eyes lit up and he pushed Li Qiye with his arm and smiled.
"You mean going to see this girl? Don't forget that Luo Yanlu is still in the carriage behind. Be careful not to be seen by her. Especially Luo Xuan is very cunning. If he sees you trying to seduce his sister, who knows what he will say."
“Hey… what are you thinking about? This is my new sword servant. As someone from Jian Xin Tomb, isn’t it okay for me to have a sword servant?” Li Qiye said sternly, as if he was upright and had nothing to fear.
"Good boy, you are playing very fancy. Actually, I understand everything, but you should be careful and don't let others see anything." Lei Mengsha said with a smile as an experienced person.
He could tell at a glance that this woman was no longer an unmarried girl. The charm and maturity between her eyebrows could not be faked.
At the same time, he was a little envious and wanted to recruit a swordsman with such a great figure.
It's a pity that he doesn't use the sword. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to put it away. The woman at home is a tigress, a deadly one.
Even though Lei Mengsha is one of the Eight Young Masters of Beili and one of the most outstanding disciples of the Lei Clan, he doesn't even have a maid to serve him at home. He must be very miserable!
Li Qiye rolled his eyes at him. This guy has the intention but not the courage to steal. He is being bullied by his wife.
"Brother Luo, Master Liu Yue, Master Mo Chen, and Miss Luo, we meet again." Li Qiye greeted the group of people who caught up with him.
"Mr. Li"
"Brother Li"
Several people clasped their fists to greet each other, and Luo Yanlu even walked out of the carriage, revealing her true face and smiling slightly.
"Mr. Li, it's just as you said. We meet again so soon."
"If we are destined to meet, we will meet even if we are thousands of miles apart. If we are not destined to meet, we will not meet even if we are face to face. It was just a casual remark at the time. I didn't expect it to come true so quickly. Miss Luo, it seems that we are destined to meet!"
Li Qiye's handsome face smiled, like the rising sun, very elegant.
His words made Luo Yanlu think more.
After looking into his star-like eyes, two beautiful blushes rose on her cheeks, and she nodded softly.
"Um"
Luo Xuan was immediately displeased and said, "Let's go first. We are not far from Tianqi City. We can meet again in the city."
However, Li Qiye shamelessly walked alongside the carriage and chatted happily with Luo Yanlu in front of the window as if no one was around.
Chapter 41 If I Become the Best in the World in the Future
Tianqi City is located in the north of the capital. The closer you get to this place, the more you can feel its prosperity. Before entering the city, the official road is already crowded with people and traffic.
"Is this the Apocalypse City? It's really prosperous!"
Li Qiye looked at the vast city from a distance. The area and the city walls as tall as mountains alone shocked him deeply. He had never seen such a magnificent ancient city.
"Yes, this is Tianqi City..." Luo Yanlu briefly introduced the city to him, and they had a pleasant conversation.
Near the city gate, Li Qiye looked up at the huge plaque on the city gate and expressed doubt: "This plaque on the city gate doesn't look like it's hundreds of years old?"
