Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 101 So What If I Look Down on You, Li Huo Sect?

```

Li Tianqi chatted with everyone for a few more sentences, then left.

The news Li Tianqi brought had indeed provided Xu Ping’an and the others with substantial gains.

At the very least, it gave them a preliminary understanding of their opponents.

There was one day left until the competition.

Because of Li Tianqi’s words, Long Yan and his two companions felt immense pressure.

So they didn’t want to waste any time and were training as if their lives depended on it.

Originally, Li Qingyi also planned to enter closed-door cultivation, but upon hearing that Xu Ping’an wanted to walk around the Li Huo Sect, she volunteered to accompany him.

Xu Ping’an didn’t refuse.

After spending some time together, Xu Ping’an had developed a bit of a fondness for Li Qingyi.

This woman was very strong-willed and persistent.

Once she set her mind on something, it was hard for her to turn back.

Inside the Li Huo Sect, Xu Ping’an was walking side by side with Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi’s appearance still attracted a lot of attention.

Even some male disciples were stunned, regarding her as a celestial beauty.

But Li Qingyi paid them no mind, her eyes only on Xu Ping’an.

"Ping’an Junior Brother, may I ask you a question?" Li Qingyi hesitated before asking.

"Ask anything you wish," Xu Ping’an said.

"I want to ask if there is someone you like?" Li Qingyi looked at Xu Ping’an as she asked.

"Yes, my little aunt, but I have no blood relation to her. She has taken care of me for over a decade," Xu Ping’an replied.

Li Qingyi nodded, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained composure.

It seemed as though she had anticipated this all along.

"What about in your previous life?" Li Qingyi asked.

"No, there was once, but not anymore. She betrayed me. The reason for my reincarnation was because of her doing," Xu Ping’an said indifferently.

Li Qingyi was taken aback, her gaze at Xu Ping’an suddenly filled with sympathy.

She had not expected that Xu Ping’an reincarnated because he had been harmed by the woman he loved.

And in this life, after his reincarnation, he had encountered the same thing again.

"Can you tell me who she is?" Li Qingyi said with a determined look, a hint of killing intent emerging from the depths of her beautiful eyes.

Xu Ping’an gave Li Qingyi a slight smile seeing her serious expression.

"There’s no need, telling you won’t make any difference. She’s very powerful now, and you’re no match for her," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

He knew that Li Qingyi wanted to avenge him.

"I want to know, even if I’m not her match now, I will be someday," Li Qingyi insisted firmly.

Xu Ping’an looked at Li Qingyi, whose eyes were unwaveringly determined.

He was slightly moved in his heart.

He had not expected Li Qingyi to be so persistent.

"I can give you an idea — her strength is above the Ninth Rank, possibly even higher. As for the rest, now is not the time. I’ll tell you about it in the future," Xu Ping’an said.

Li Qingyi nodded.

Above the Ninth Rank, even higher?

Tenth Rank...

Eleventh Rank, Twelfth Rank are all possibilities.

This was indeed far off for her at present.

However, she could guess a few things about Xu Ping’an’s past status and position — it must have been incredibly high, unreasonably so.

Otherwise, he would never have been together with such a woman.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi also set a goal for herself.

She must become stronger so she can stand alongside Xu Ping’an.

As for Xu Ping’an saying he liked his little aunt, Li Qingyi knew that Su Chan had cared for Xu Ping’an for over a decade.

This bond could not be replaced no matter what.

If so, and she desired to be with Xu Ping’an, she naturally couldn’t monopolize him.

She had to strive to become the second woman in Xu Ping’an’s heart.

"This Junior Sister seems unfamiliar. She must not be from our Li Huo Sect, may I know how to address you?"

Just at this moment, a tall and handsome figure approached.

"Heavens, it’s Song Xianjun."

"He’s too handsome, how could he appear here?"

"Yeah, he’s the fourth-ranked existence in terms of strength in our Li Huo Sect, having reached the Peak of the Eighth Layer in the Meridian Opening Realm."

...

The surrounding Li Huo Sect disciples were instantly attracted by this handsome young man, especially the female disciples, who were exclaiming incessantly.

```

Their gazes towards this handsome young man were filled with intense admiration.

Upon hearing the shouts of the surrounding disciples, Song Xianjun immediately revealed a proud smile.

His eyes burned fervently as he looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him.

Such a beautiful woman, he had never seen before.

From the first glance earlier, he had been astonished, finding her celestial.

One could say that within the entire Li Huo Sect, there was no one who could compare to her.

Thus, after some observation, he decided to take the initiative to strike.

As for Xu Ping’an, who was standing next to Li Qingyi, he was ignored by him.

Li Qingyi looked up at the newcomer and said indifferently, "I’m from the Beichen Sword Sect, not a disciple of the Li Huo Sect."

"So you’re a junior sister from the Beichen Sword Sect. Are you here for the Sect competition?" Song Xianjun’s eyes gleamed.

She’s from the Beichen Sword Sect.

That would be easy to handle.

The Beichen Sword Sect is so weak, all I need to do is show my strength and status.

Won’t she be easily won over?

However, as his words fell, the other party showed no intention of replying and turned to leave.

Xu Ping’an chuckled coldly to the side.

He could naturally see through the intentions of this Song Xianjun before him.

But was Li Qingyi the sort of superficial woman?

Song Xianjun saw Li Qingyi actually walking away without a word, and his expression abruptly changed.

Quite proud, isn’t she?

But the prouder the woman was, the more interested he became.

Conquering such a woman would give him an even greater sense of achievement.

"Junior sister, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Is this your first time at the Li Huo Sect? How about I show you around?" Song Xianjun hurriedly chased after Li Qingyi and said.

"No need!" Li Qingyi said coldly.

"I’ve planted some Spiritual Medicine in my courtyard, including many Third Rank herbs. Would you like to take a look?" Song Xianjun suddenly thought of something and quickly said.

"I don’t want to!" Li Qingyi continued to refuse decisively.

Song Xianjun’s eyebrows wrinkled, surprised at how this woman was so dismissive of him.

Many disciples of the Li Huo Sect around them had already begun to whisper and point.

Especially the female disciples, all of whom felt that Li Qingyi was putting on airs.

Their Sect’s fourth-ranked Song Xianjun took the initiative to invite her, but she still refused.

Who does she think she is?

"So you won’t give me face, junior sister? At least you should tell me your name," Song Xianjun’s expression darkened.

He had extended an invitation so actively, yet she had repeatedly declined. This was, in essence, not taking him seriously at all.

What status did he, Song Xianjun, have?

A genius ranked fourth in the Li Huo Sect, to be repeatedly rejected by a female disciple from such a minor Sect as the Beichen Sword Sect.

If word spread, where would he put his face?

"There’s no need."

Yet, Li Qingyi remained distant and aloof.

Many disciples around her were immediately infuriated.

Song Xianjun’s eyes narrowed, "Humph, I gave you a chance to save face, and you really think you’re something special? Is a trashy Sect like Beichen Sword Sect also qualified to be so arrogant?"

"Exactly, acting all high and mighty for no reason."

"The trashy Beichen Sword Sect dares to be so brazen in our Li Huo Sect’s territory, they’re simply asking for death."

...

Many Li Huo Sect disciples echoed these sentiments.

Li Qingyi’s eyes grew colder.

She simply didn’t want to deal with this guy.

And that made her arrogant?

Also, the words of these people were clear insults to their Beichen Sword Sect.

But just as Li Qingyi was about to retort,

Xu Ping’an stepped forward with a light laugh, "What if we look down on your Li Huo Sect? A mere fourth-ranked member of the Li Huo Sect, here I was expecting the first-ranked."

With these words, the entire crowd of disciples looked at Xu Ping’an in surprise.

Such arrogance!

This was a blatant disregard for Song Xianjun.

Song Xianjun’s face turned livid with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
