Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 544: I’ve Been Tolerating You for a Long Time

"This... how is this possible?"

The disciples surrounding them took a long time to react, their faces filled with shock.

Zhao Ling’er and that ordinary-looking woman were also utterly dumbfounded.

Wasn’t Li Qingyi always extremely aloof?

Hadn’t she never had any contact with male cultivators, so why did she take the initiative to embrace ’Wang Tao’?

Of course, the most furious one was naturally Luo Yong’an.

Li Qingyi had always treated him with indifference, and now she was actually embracing a good-for-nothing?

With this thought, a strong intent to kill surged in his eyes.

At that moment, Li Qingyi did not pay any attention to the gazes of the crowd, clinging tightly to Xu Ping’an’s embrace.

Xu Ping’an looked at Li Qingyi in his arms, and softness surged in his heart.

But when he saw the angry glances all around him, a bitter smile also appeared on his face.

This girl’s hug is going to bring about quite a bit of trouble.

But even if his identity were exposed, he didn’t care.

"You’ve finally arrived, are you hurt?" After a while, Li Qingyi finally let go of Xu Ping’an and asked with a face full of concern.

"I’m fine, don’t worry, I’m not hurt," Xu Ping’an responded with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Ping’an didn’t appear to be hurt, Li Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you come to the Fire Divine Palace? Leave quickly," Li Qingyi hurriedly sent a telepathic message.

"Don’t worry, they can’t recognize me, I came just to see you," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyi’s face immediately turned red, a tinge of shyness appearing on her face.

However, Li Qingyi’s expression, to the surrounding disciples, was as if they were witnessing a Heaven-Opening spectacle.

They had never imagined Li Qingyi could have such a charming side.

They had never seen Li Qingyi like this before.

"It seems Li Qingyi has quite profound feelings for Wang Tao," someone remarked.

As soon as these words came out, everyone glared angrily at Wang Tao.

They wished they could tear ’Wang Tao’ into pieces then and there.

Li Qingyi was the goddess in their hearts. Since she had always been indifferent to everyone, they had felt somewhat balanced in their hearts.

But now that Li Qingyi had chosen to be with such an ordinary disciple, how could they not feel angry?

Luo Yong’an was seething with rage, gritting his teeth.

"Slut, I thought you were so noble, but to think you would end up with such trash. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have been so polite to you," Luo Yong’an walked over, saying furiously to Li Qingyi.

As soon as this statement was made, a chill immediately surged in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

This guy actually dared to insult Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi’s face also turned cold, and she glanced at Luo Yong’an with a cold snort, "Brother Luo, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? Li Qingyi, I didn’t expect your taste to be so poor, to be with such a loser. And here I thought you were too proud and discerning," Luo Yong’an replied with a cold snort.

The disciples around them nodded in agreement, feeling that Li Qingyi’s behavior was quite unbecoming.

A loser?

Li Qingyi’s eyebrows knit slightly.

Although she knew that what Luo Yong’an was referring to was just the identity Xu Ping’an was currently faking, it still greatly displeased her.

"Brother Luo, who I choose to be with is none of your business," Li Qingyi retorted coldly.

Xu Ping’an beside her also sneered.

So Luo Yong’an really couldn’t stay calm, already starting to make a scene?

"If you had found someone more talented than me, I, Luo Yong’an, would have had nothing to say, but you’re actually with such a trash, and that’s a humiliation to me," Luo Yong’an coldly snorted.

"Right, it truly is disgusting, to actually choose such trash." Those Inner Sect Disciples who believed themselves stronger than Wang Tao complained dissatisfiedly from around.

Clearly, in their eyes, Xu Ping’an being with such a waste was a humiliation to them.

Xu Ping’an looked at the frantic disciples around him and chuckled endlessly.

"Who I, Li Qingyi, choose to be with, when has it ever been your place to dictate?" Li Qingyi was incredibly angry as she spoke.

After she finished speaking, Li Qingyi’s Ninth Rank presence erupted, instantly overwhelming everyone present.

The Inner Sect Disciples around her stepped back, one by one, no longer speaking.

Even Luo Yong’an seemed grave, as he now truly might not be a match for Li Qingyi.

"Li Qingyi, Wang Tao is my fiancé, yet you dare to seduce my man, aren’t you being too shameless?"

Just at that moment, Zhao Ling’er suddenly spoke up from the side.

Everyone immediately began to point fingers at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi’s expression was grave, not knowing what to say.

Xu Ping’an, however, just laughed, "Zhao Ling’er, I recall that you already canceled our engagement yesterday, we have no connection now, right?"

"Even if our engagement has been canceled, it must be because of her, this vixen. Otherwise, why would you have agreed to the dissolution of our engagement so readily?" Zhao Ling’er said unwillingly.

The disciples around started to blame Li Qingyi.

Some even began to insult Li Qingyi as shameless.

"Li Qingyi, I never thought that someone who appeared so holy on the surface could be so shameless behind closed doors. Happy to have someone else’s leftovers? It seems you are nothing but a whore," a female disciple with an ordinary appearance immediately sneered mockingly.

"Slap!"

However, as soon as her words fell, a slap as fast as lightning struck her face.

"Pugh!"

The female disciple immediately spat out blood violently and was sent flying backwards.

The crowd around was stunned, looking at ’Wang Tao’ in surprise, the one who had struck the blow.

"You… you dare to hit me?" the female disciple said in shock.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

The speed at which Wang Tao had just struck was so fast she couldn’t react at all.

How was this possible?

"You run your mouth too much, and I’ve tolerated you for a long time. You can insult me, but you shouldn’t have insulted Qingyi," Xu Ping’an coldly snorted, his eyes revealing an intense chill.

The crowd around suddenly felt the surge of dominance emanating from Wang Tao and looked at him with amazement.

When had Wang Tao become so domineering and powerful?

Zhao Ling’er also looked at Wang Tao in disbelief.

Is this guy really Wang Tao?

Li Qingyi felt moved inside.

Yes, this was the feeling, ever since they were young, only Xu Ping’an would protect her like this.

The female disciple who was slapped was indignant beyond measure.

"Wang Tao, you assault a fellow sect member for a cheap woman and violate the rules of the Fire Divine Palace. Aren’t you afraid of being punished?" she said angrily.

"Don’t threaten me with rules. If you dare to insult Qingyi again today, believe it or not, I will kill you right here," Xu Ping’an glared at the female disciple, his eyes filled with a strong intent to kill.

The female disciple immediately took a step back in fright.

The murderous intent radiating from Xu Ping’an involuntarily made her feel a chill in her heart.

"What an arrogant fellow, daring to ignore the rules of the Fire Divine Palace. I think you’re tired of living. Wang Tao, since you’ve severely injured a fellow sect member, today, as the senior Inner Sect brother, I shall teach you a good lesson on behalf of the Sect," Luo Yong’an shouted coldly.

The next moment, he moved to kill Xu Ping’an.
