Chapter 101 - Daylight Aurora Sword Art!
As expected, Wei Lingxuan had been waiting for him for quite a while, blocking his way back to the Wei Manor. It wasn’t just Wei Lingxuan — most of the younger generations were there too, including Wei Tianxiong’s third son, Wei Guohao. Other than the two children of the Flameyellow Chancellor, there were also Wei Zikun’s son, Wei Qingyi, and other disciples from the Wei Clan.
The Wei Manor itself was located at a secluded corner of the sanctum where hardly anyone visited, unlike the Flameyellow Pagoda, making it the best place to accost Li Tianming and make him pay the price for his transgressions.
To approach the manor, one must first cross over a stone bridge, the only path available. Youths of the Wei Clan were already blocking his way when Li Tianming arrived at the bridge.
And at the forefront of the motley crew was none other than Wei Lingxuan. Today, she wore a chainmail to protect her vitals. It didn’t look heavy, but from the faint blue heavenly patterns running across its surface, it was clearly a grade five beastial armour. In fact, armours were even rarer and more expensive compared to regular weapons, since they required more raw materials and greater workmanship.
For her to bring out such a treasure...she was sure fixated on her vengeance.
“How nice to be that rich,” Li Tianming muttered darkly. If he had been raised here, he would have that much money too.
For Wei Lingxuan, the sight of Li Tianming's face was enough to remind her about that 'glorious' act of licking his boots. That was enough to rile her up immediately, a menacing look twisting her pretty face.
This wasn’t the Flameyellow Pagoda! Those standing behind her were all disciples of the Wei Manor, supporting her and backing her up. Furthermore, Wei Guohao, one of the best students in the entire sanctum, was with them too!
To Wei Guohao, Li Tianming was probably just an'other one of those mundane disciples. Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning about him was the fairy-like girl always by his side.
“Li Tianming! My third brother and I have decided that you aren't walking out of here today with your legs intact. From this day on, you’ll have to crawl around the sanctum.” Wei Lingxuan drew her Goldfault Sword — the one that Wei Tiancang gave her for her birthday — and pointed it at Li Tianming’s throat.
“Sis, leave a leg for me. I wanna try too,” Wei Qingyi snickered.
“Guess I’m left with the third leg then.” Wei Guohao cracked a joke, sparking laughter from everyone but Wei Lingxuan, who was too fixated on her anger.
“Surely this is not the most fitting way to treat a relative?” Li Tianming answered lightly, defying the expectations of everyone present.
“In fact, y’all should call me elder cousin, and then show your elder cousin some respect,” Li Tianming continued, his audacity enraging Wei Lingxuan even further.
“How dare you still call us your relatives!” As she spoke, her Six-Winged Goldroc appeared beside her. It was the same species as the beast that Wei Qingyi owned, except that hers was even bigger and fiercer. Its sparkling golden eyes had already spotted Li Tianming and Ying Huo, its killing intent obvious.
“Wei Lingxuan, watch your mouth. If not, I don’t mind educating you on behalf of your father and teach you how to respect an elder brother.” Li Tianming continued to smile.
“Do you really think you can defeat me with your current level of cultivation? Or you are counting on Princess Ling’s attachment to give you enough power to overcome me? What a shame, because from now on, you will be crawling around this place, and I will make sure you clean my boots every day. Every. Single. Day!” Wei Lingxuan ran out of patience. For her, the faster she could defeat Li Tianming, the faster she could erase him from her mind completely.
