Beastmaster of the Ages

, make sure he doesn ’t succeed.
I won’t accept it if Wei Jing survives this!” Excitement twisted Xue Lan ’s face.

“Sister, no need to waste your anger on people like her,” Madam Yuan Yu consoled her.

“Mother, don’t you worry.
If he’s unlucky enough to meet us, there’s no way we will show mercy to him.” Chen Hao puffed out his chest.

“That’s right, godmother.
How could it be so easy to gain the recognition of Heaven’s Elysium? I will bring you my own head if Li Tianming can succeed,” Xing Que added, and madam Xue Lan finally let her pent-up tension dissipate.

Xing Que and Chen Hao glanced at each other, puzzled.
Why did Xue Lan want that woman dead no matter what? That said, nothing wouldn’t change their opinion either, since they too didn’t want to let Li Tianming go, especially after that slap at the Flameyellow Pagoda.

“Mother, is there any story between you and that woman?” The youngest son, Chen Yao, asked at one side.

“Don’t be a busybody.” Xue Lan glared at him.
Of course, she couldn’t say it was all out of sheer envy, but envy alone was enough to turn her into a devil.
“Just cripple Li Tianming, and send him and his mother back to Flamehaven where they belong!”

……

Because of the Abyssal Trials, even the streets outside of the Flameyellow Scions Institute seemed livelier than ever.
Passing residents would occasionally throw a curious glance as they wondered what would happen there in a few days ’ time.
In an inn opposite the institute, a middle-aged man dressed in a red and black patterned robe relaxed on one of the window seats on the third floor.
He stared at the traffic going in and out of the institute with a drink in his hand, his eyes hiding his true thoughts.

“Yanfeng.” A honeyed voice called out to him.
Many in the inn looked towards the direction of the voice as a lady walked up the stairs.
She had a hot and seductive figure that could invoke many thoughts within men.
Walking behind her was a boy about the age of sixteen, his head lowered as if he was deep in thought.

Li Yanfeng beckoned.
“Have a seat here.”

With a smile, Liu Qing tugged at Liu Qianyang’s hand as she walked towards the table and sat opposite Li Yanfeng.
Her seated posture accentuated her curves even more, somehow.

“Yanfeng, how long has it been since Xiaoxiao went in?” Liu Qing asked.

Li Yanfeng ’s job was to protect Lin Xiaoxiao, but the institute was a safe place.
Thus, he would always be waiting in this inn when she was cultivating in the institute.
It wasn’t much of a difficult task, but it was inconvenient as he had to stay in the inn all the time, affecting his newlywed life.
He even had to keep an eye out when doing that with Liu Qing, just so that Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t leave the institute in the middle of the night without him noticing.

“It’s been a few days.
I reckon that she won’t be leaving until Mu Qingqing enters the Abyssal Battlefield,” Li Yanfeng said.

“I see, then I shall join you tonight.” Liu Qing’s face blushed slightly.

“Just stay here, I’m quite bored,” Li Yanfeng suggested.

“But sister needs to help with my cultivation…” Liu Qianyang stuttered.

Liu Qing frowned.
“Just learn it yourself at the institute, I have little left to teach you.”

“Alright.” Liu Qianyang lowered his head again.

Li Yanfeng looked at Liu Qianyang, but it was another boy that was on his mind.

“Yanfeng, you must have heard about his story?” Speaking of that person, Liu Qing’s voice trembled slightly.

“I did.
Sounds like a fairy tale.” Li Yanfeng shrugged with a mixed look on his face.
Although he hadn’t seen Li Tianming personally, he did hear more and more stories about that boy.
Who would have thought that after being abandoned by him, Li Tianming had made a name for himself as a rising genius?

“Then do you regret giving up on this son and turning to the Lightning Manor…” Liu Qing’s voice trailed off.

“What are you thinking? He wasn’t related to me to begin with.
You ’re the one who matters the most to me now,” Li Yanfeng said earnestly.

“Aren’t you afraid he will come back for you in the future?” Liu Qing asked, only to be answered by his laughter,

“What do you mean, Yanfeng?”

“I didn’t expect Mu Yang to help him, nor did I expect the blessing from the Flameyellow Rock.
But I do understand the Potentate of the sanctum.” Li Yanfeng narrowed his eyes.

“You mean…?”

“That stupid old man is as stubborn as hell.
If Li Tianming decides to bet everything on this event, then based on my understanding of the Abyssal Trials, he will have a really bad time,” Li Yanfeng explained.

“Will you be sad if he dies?”

“Not at all.” Li Yanfeng stared outside the window coldly.

“You ’ve been practicing the Heavenly Will techniques for some time.
How long more do you need before you can breakthrough?” Liu Qing changed the topic.

“Can’t you see it?” Li Yanfeng grinned.

“What?” A smile crawled up Liu Qing’s face too.

“I made the breakthrough last night,” Li Yanfeng said.

“Wow, that means you are finally in the same league with the strongest cultivators in Ignispolis!” Liu Qing said excitedly.

“Nothing to be excited about.” Li Yanfeng reached out and patted her on the shoulders.

“I guess this definitely calls for some rewards tonight.” Liu Qing lowered her head, her face blushing a ripe red.

“Sis, I will take my leave first!” Liu Qianyang rose from his seat and ran off without looking back.

“He’s not a kid anymore, show him some distance,” Li Yanfeng said sternly.

Liu Qing nodded.
”Yes, definitely.”
