Chapter 6787: Not My Business

“Only know how to spew nonsense all day.” Li Qiye slapped the baldy’s head again.

“I speak only the truth. Trinity was so arrogant back then, immediately erupting through two realms. Amazing, sure, but he was still defeated, forcing him to flee for his life.” The baldy could only stare begrudgingly at Li Qiye: “Thus, thirteen palaces are still breakable, nice to look at but not really useful. One is certainly more solid.”

“Get thirteen palaces first before boasting.” Li Qiye said.

“I don’t care for them, I'm just a mortal. It would be like a beggar trying to look rich, wearing gold chains just to show off. I can’t even make full use of my one palace right now.” He said.

“Yes, yes, I get it.” Li Qiye waved his hand dismissively: “How are the six continents?”

“So many stories after you left, numerous changes too. After all, when the stinky old fish is gone, the others get to rise, right?” He patted Li Qiye’s shoulder.

“Who wants to hear your stories?” Li Qiye said: “Who’s letting you through?”

“Family, family. I just sweetened my tongue and called him ‘elder’, he immediately let me through, haha.”

“Elder?” Li Qiye frowned.

“World Emperor, an immortal now.” He said.

“I see.” Li Qiye stared suspiciously at him.

“Don’t look at me like that, I have nothing to do with it. Ever since the connection through Immortal Dao City and the protection of Guardian Alliance, newcomers have had an easier time. Like I said, you’re a fossil now, old man.” He said.

“Really now?” Li Qiye was not amused.

“Uh, I was not involved.” He smiled wryly: “Someone arrived here and certain matters happened, then everyone had a nice discussion. Both sides decided to be more vigilant.”

“Go on.” Li Qiye said.

“Nightmoon Conqueror came to Heavenrealm, only to be killed.” He said: “World Emperor was furious and wanted to avenge her. His dao erupted but it wasn’t enough. He fled to Duskrealm, broken. Nevertheless, he became an immortal and killed the enemies. Afterward, he returned to the six continents and protected that side of the portal. He and Purewood Divine Emperor are monitoring all traveling between the two worlds.”

“This shouldn’t happen, more of a disaster than a blessing. Right now, it looks positive for the six continents but just one mistake and that’s it.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Sigh, old man, isolation is not good. Improvements come from opening up and Heavenrealm is great for cultivation.” He smiled.

“That’s why Nightmoon Conqueror came?” Li Qiye asked.

“Once again, I had nothing to do with this. You know about Nightmoon Conqueror’s talent and plus, cultivators from the minor realms such as ourselves are hot commodities...” He continued.

“And then?” Li Qiye asked.

“Hahaha, old man, you’re not panicking at all. You already knew Nightmoon Conqueror had a dao source, not killed so easily. It was just that World Emperor was so hasty and stricken with grief, hence his recklessness. I suppose that’s normal, for a parent to worry so much about his beloved child, right?” He said.

“All I hear is a possible interference from you.” Li Qiye said.

“Old man, you’re being unfair with these accusations. Don’t besmirch my noble acts.” He said.

“Noble acts?” Li Qiye said.

“Yes, I am rather picky with my business.” He said: “I didn’t even take much money, no, I fronted the money and effort to fulfill their dreams.”

He then patted the ordinary youth and said: “Brother, if it wasn’t for me, you and Lil’ Black couldn’t come here so easily. And then I lent him a saber too, how much did I charge him? Hmph, I’m a noble man who doesn’t participate in shady business.”

“Did Divine Firmament come knocking?” Li Qiye asked.

“Old man, they gave you a gift already. You’re old and lonely, definitely need a maid to serve you and warm your feet at night. Coincidentally enough, there was someone there who wanted to be a maid. I just put in a good word then, that’s all.” He said.

“So many coincidences.” Li Qiye said.

“Don’t worry about the small details, they don’t matter in the slightest.” He said.

“Stop causing trouble everywhere, especially taking people from the six continents here.” Li Qiye said.

“You’re mad at me for doing something you had done previously. You led Immortal Emperor Min Ren and then Immortal Emperor Qi Zhen. Don’t tell me they would have brought so many without your permission.” He said.

“As you said, times are changing. There is Immortal Dao City connecting the two worlds. It used to be harder to come up and even more challenging to come down. Now, it’s far more accessible.” Li Qiye said.

“We’re aware. First, few can find the portal and we have guardians. Who dares to get past Elder World Emperor?” He said.

“You.” Li Qiye glared at him.

“What can I say, I like to realize dreams. It is a lengthy process though, the dreamers have to be persistent.” He said: “So relax, I get it, you’re not the only one with a dao heart.”

“Yes.” Li Qiye agreed.

“So old man, it’s time for you to get out, I’m not doing business with you.” He said: “You can try Origination Enterprise instead, they will be happy to get a big customer like you.”

“Origination never beat you up?” Li Qiye smiled.
