Legend of the Great Sage

uncomfortable when he heard that phrase.
Basically all of them would work against him by nature.
Even that fool Chu Tian had actually been the first senior brother of the Myriad sect, so how was he supposed to explain that? Meanwhile, when he finally became a first senior brother himself, he only had a single junior brother, and he was expelled very soon afterwards.

Just recently, he had met a first senior sister, and she had already caused him countless problems.
Now that he had run into a first senior brother, he was better off simply leaving first!

Li Qingshan was about to leave when Ge Xing’s expression suddenly changed.
He said to Li Qingshan in surprise, “Junior brother Li, first senior brother is summoning you.
First senior brother leads an army and returns to rest at regular intervals.
He’s suddenly returned along this time probably because of you.”

The female officer basically found that to be unbelievable.
She became filled with envy yet again.
Just why did this kid deserve so much respect and special treatment?

However, Li Qingshan felt even more uncomfortable.
He experienced an ill omen like trouble was waiting to happen.

“Let’s go together!” Ruan Yaozhu said, “I’m sure senior brother Li will ensure everything remains fair.”

“Senior brother Li!”

Li Qingshan immediately recalled that the name underneath Lin Xuan’s did indeed have the surname Li.
Back then, he was not particularly fazed by it.
There were plenty of people who shared the same surnames, and “Li” was not a particularly rare surname either, but now, he felt a little pained.

Arriving at the teleportation hall, he immediately saw the first senior brother, Li Liehuo.

Perhaps it was better said that they could not shift their gaze away from where he stood.
There was a group of cultivators staring at him right now.

His appearance was simple and dignified, like a statue of a god carved in the ancient times.
His long hair resembled fire, rising and curling about.

Under his scarlet armour, he was covered in muscles, but it definitely did not seem excessive.
Instead, it was filled with an explosive sense of strength.
He carried a huge blade on his back as he stood on the formation with his arms crossed before his chest.
The scorching, twisted teleportation gate behind him illuminated his figure, making him seem even taller and larger.

As soon as Li Qingshan entered the hall, a pair of fiery-red eyes became fixed on him, intensifying the scorching sensation.
He felt like he would be burned to ash if it were not for the phoenix’s bloodline.
He stared back at him without any signs of weakness and reached a conclusion with a single glance.

I hate this guy!

“You’re Li Qingshan?” Li Liehuo asked with a smile.

With his smile, his simple face immediately became lively, while his dignified appearance became fervent, naturally giving people a good impression of him.

“I am.” Li Qingshan nodded, but he found him even more annoying.

“I’ve heard all about you.
I’m certain you’re capable of making contributions to the battlefield, but this should be what you want, not something you are forced into doing because of others!” Li Liehuo glanced at Ge Xing.
Ge Xing smiled awkwardly and shrank back a little.

Ruan Yaozhu beamed with joy.
“Sure enough, senior brother is a reasonable and sensible man.”

Li Liehuo teased her.
“Little Yaozhu, how do I compare to your senior sister Chao?”

Ruan Yaozhu smiled.
“Obviously not as great.”

Li Qingshan laughed aloud, making his voice boom through the hall.

“But the junior brother Li beside you wants to challenge your senior sister Chao.”

“I am deeply grateful for your generosity and righteousness, senior brother.”

Li Qingshan clasped his hands.
Had he specially come back to serve as a “saviour”? But they clearly did not know each other.
Was it because he had conflict with Chao Tianjiao that he especially admired him?

“I am neither generous nor righteous, nor have I especially come to help you.” Li Liehuo suddenly cut to the chase.
“Kid, hand over the formation disc to the Xuanming dwelling, and you can return to the Hundred Herbs garden to cultivate in peace.”

Li Qingshan shivered inside. I knew it!

“What, don’t tell me you don’t have a dwelling, senior brother?”

“It’s because you’re still unworthy of it.
You can stop with your slick opportunism too!”

Li Liehuo’s expression became a little sterner, and the violent aura that resembled a primordial beast flooded over once more.
