Chapter 42: The Princess Can Only Be a Maid (Part 2)

Li Shuangyan couldn't help but doubt whether Li Qiy Ye had seen this array before. However, she quickly dismissed this thought because this fragment of the array was a unique copy by the Array Ancestor, and their Nine Holy Demon Sect had paid a great price to obtain it.

It could be said that, apart from the Array Ancestor who had died in ancient times, only their Nine Holy Demon Sect knew about this fragment of the array!

Now, Li Qiy Ye only needed one glance to speak confidently. In his mouth, this fragment of the array became insignificant, merely a minor technique.

This left Li Shuangyan shocked and speechless for a long time. She had spent over a decade completely comprehending the mysteries of this fragment of the array! And this was under the guidance of several generations of sages from their Nine Holy Demon Sect!

Li Qiy Ye, with just one glance, revealed the mysteries of this fragment of the array, which was too incredible. Such a situation was extremely demoralizing.

Even a genius couldn't have revealed the array with just one look, yet Li Qiy Ye did. Was there anyone more talented than him in the world? The problem was, Li Qiy Ye wasn't a genius!

Li Shuangyan didn't know that Li Qiy Ye had once possessed the complete array. Upon seeing this fragment today, the memories of the erased fragment resurfaced in his mind.

"Come over." At this moment, Li Qiy Ye beckoned to Li Shuangyan, speaking calmly and leisurely.

Li Shuangyan, still in a daze, subconsciously walked to Li Qiy Ye's side. For a moment, her mind was blank, and she didn't even realize how she had walked to his side.

"Slap—Slap—Slap—" Before Li Shuangyan could recover, she was pressed down on Li Qiy Ye's knee. Li Qiy Ye showed no mercy, slapping her round and firm buttocks, making her feel numb and burning!

"What are you doing—!" Li Shuangyan jumped up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, screaming and glaring at Li Qiy Ye, her face flushed.

Li Qiy Ye only clapped his hands, looking calm and relaxed, as if he had just done something trivial. Then he slowly said, "As my maid, you must have the awareness of a maid. I can indulge and pamper those around me, even if they are maids. But remember, don't provoke me! Don't think you are a princess and can do as you please!"

"You—!" Li Shuangyan was both angry and furious. She was a princess, the daughter of the Ancient Ox Territory, always high and mighty, and no one had ever disrespected her. However, today, she was harshly spanked by a young man... This humiliating experience made her shudder just thinking about it!

"Go, find a place to stay." Li Qiy Ye waved his hand indifferently, not caring whether Li Shuangyan was angry or not, and said calmly.

"You... young man, you, you remember this!" In the end, Li Shuangyan said angrily. For a moment, she had nowhere to vent her anger. She had always been high and mighty, and wherever she went, she was treated like a star, with many young and talented men vying for her favor.

However, today, Li Qiy Ye treated her as nothing, dismissing her with just a few words and not even arranging a place for her to stay. This was infuriating!

Li Shuangyan stormed off, her pride as a princess and an eighteen-year-old girl wounded by a thirteen-year-old boy, which she found hard to believe.

"Don't try to practice the 'Immortal Slaying Emperor Array'!" At this moment, Li Qiy Ye's voice came from behind, calm and composed. "The array you have is just a small fragment of the 'Immortal Slaying Emperor Array,' less than one percent of the entire array! If you force yourself to practice it, you will be destroyed by it! Even the Array Ancestor of old dared not practice this array! Let alone you. If you want to practice this array, wait until your cultivation is mature, and I will consider guiding you."

His slow and steady tone belied the arrogance of his words. Who would dare to casually offer guidance to someone with her talent? But Li Qiy Ye said it without a care.

This made Li Shuangyan's body stiffen. The 'Immortal Slaying Emperor Array' was just a legend from ancient times, and many believed it didn't exist. However, Li Qiy Ye spoke of it as if it were nothing!

Li Shuangyan still had a bit of pride in her heart. She ignored Li Qiy Ye, huffed, and turned to leave.

Li Qiy Ye didn't care whether Li Shuangyan was happy or not. He just sat there silently, thinking about the 'Immortal Slaying Emperor Array,' which he hadn't seen in so many years.

The 'Immortal Slaying Emperor Array' was something Li Qiy Ye didn't want to mention. In ancient times, so many people died in this array, and he had paid a great price to build it.

This array was invincible throughout the ages, but it was also stained with the blood of countless people. From the moment it was created, it was destined to be washed in endless blood. To create this array, countless human sages, including himself, had poured their hearts and souls into it.

In the battle of ancient times, for the sake of the Human Emperor Realm and the human race, so many sages died in this array, and so many human experts were crushed. In those days, he wielded this array, causing the heavens to collapse and the universe to bleed!

He couldn't remember how many people had died, including those who had once followed him. After that battle, he had been silent for a long time.

Time could erase everything and heal all wounds, but some memories could never be erased, etched deep into the soul, never to be forgotten!

The 'Immortal Slaying Emperor Array'... Li Qiy Ye sighed softly, shook his head, and came back to his senses, no longer indulging in the sadness of the past. The past was the past! In this life, he would return to the Nine Realms, and he would personally settle some old scores, for himself and for those who had died with him!

Li Shuangyan's arrival at the Xianyan Ancient Sect was a major event. Not only were the young disciples of the Xianyan Ancient Sect excited and sleepless, but the higher-ups of the sect also took it very seriously.

In the Xianyan Ancient Sect, only Li Qiy Ye didn't treat it as a big deal. Li Shuangyan's arrival was optional for him. If she was willing to submit to him, she could be a capable assistant in the future. If she didn't come, he could find a substitute. This didn't matter to Li Qiy Ye!

Li Shuangyan was furious that Li Qiy Ye hadn't even arranged a place for her to stay, making her teeth grind. She had a bit of a pout, refusing to live with Li Qiy Ye.

Li Shuangyan didn't live in the same courtyard as Li Qiy Ye. She summoned a treasure tower and placed it on a solitary peak, adjacent to the courtyard. Although she didn't live with Li Qiy Ye, she didn't leave the solitary peak.

Li Shuangyan's arrival, along with Yu He and the others, benefited Mo Hufa and Nan Huairen the most, as they were responsible for Yu He's group.

This was no small matter. Yu He was a noble, and serving him was a great honor. More importantly, because of Li Qiy Ye's words, Mo Hufa and Nan Huairen's status in the Xianyan Ancient Sect changed completely.

Yu He specifically requested Mo Hufa and Nan Huairen to be in charge, following Li Qiy Ye's wishes. This meant that in the future, Mo Hufa and Nan Huairen would be special envoys between the Xianyan Ancient Sect and the Nine Holy Demon Sect, able to communicate directly with Yu He!

In the past, when the Xianyan Ancient Sect sent envoys to the Nine Holy Demon Sect, even the six elders or the grand elder might not be able to see Yu He, the chief protector. Today, Nan Huairen and Mo Hufa could see Yu He directly, indicating a closer relationship between the Xianyan Ancient Sect and the Nine Holy Demon Sect!

Mo Hufa and Nan Huairen's status in the Xianyan Ancient Sect was greatly elevated. Mo Hufa's current status was even higher than the other protectors, and Nan Huairen's treatment was envied by countless third-generation and even second-generation disciples.

Li Qiy Ye didn't care about any of this. What he needed to do now was to solidify his foundation, allowing no mistakes. He wouldn't allow any flaws in his foundation. Only by solidifying his foundation could he reach the peak in the future.

Li Qiy Ye knew better than anyone that if the foundation wasn't solid, or if there were flaws, even with great cultivation, problems would arise in the future, especially when facing the decline of life and the threat of fate, which could be fatal!

Many geniuses made rapid progress in their youth, but because their foundation wasn't solid or they were too eager for success, their foundation had flaws, and they eventually perished in the decline of life and the threat of fate!

Therefore, Li Qiy Ye had very high requirements for his foundation. Even though he practiced the supreme technique "Moon Vortex Sun Wheel Art," which allowed him to advance quickly, he still slowed down the speed of the technique, repeatedly solidifying his foundation.

If Li Qiy Ye hadn't suppressed his cultivation, he could have rapidly advanced to the peak of longevity and true life. However, he still slowed down, repeatedly solidifying his foundation.

On the seventh day of Li Shuangyan's arrival, Li Qiy Ye and Li Shuangyan got along without any issues. However, in the morning, Nan Huairen came over, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

"Brother, this is Zhou Tangzhu, the head of the Wu Hall on Xi Shi Peak." Nan Huairen introduced him to Li Qiy Ye.

Li Qiy Ye glanced at Zhou Tangzhu, nodded, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Qiy Ye's attitude was seen as arrogant and disrespectful by Zhou Tangzhu, who was displeased and coldly huffed, not saying another word.

Nan Huairen quickly said, "The elder has decided that Brother will temporarily take over Zhou Tangzhu's teachings. Zhou Tangzhu has brought the list of disciples and their records. The elders hope that Brother will start teaching in seven days."

Zhou Tangzhu didn't say much. He was particularly displeased with Li Qiy Ye. As the head of the hall, Li Qiy Ye showed no respect, which made him unhappy. So, after leaving the list and records, he turned and left, not even bothering to remind Li Qiy Ye to take care.
