Chapter 43: I See You As My Opponent
Many people in the audience thought that Qi Bei would either die or be severely injured, but little did they expect that this kid only fainted for a while and then stood up again. His appearance was as if nothing had happened except for his charred skin.
At this moment, Qi Beis father, Raymond Nord, and the High Priest of the Temple walked over.
The High Priest approached Qi Bei and placed both hands on his head, reciting a string of obscure magic spells. Suddenly, a pale green light full of vitality enveloped his body.
A miraculous thing happened Qi Beis charred skin fell off little by little, revealing white and tender skin that looked even more delicate than a young girls.
When Qi Bei was completely charred and his clothes were reduced to a few scraps, he didnt feel any shame. But now, with his white skin exposed, the feeling was completely different.
From the changes in the gazes of many women around him, it was clear that they were like wolves and tigers, seemingly wanting to devour Qi Bei whole.
Big Brother Qi Bei, your skin is now even better than mine! exclaimed Feng Ruoyu next to him, reaching out and touching his chest.
This is indecent
Qi Bei felt embarrassed and immediately took the clothes of a young man from his clan next to him to cover up his exposed skin, but he did not notice the shock in the High Priests eyes.
The main engagement ceremony was already over, and Qi Bei and Princess Ming Yue had officially made their vows. But with the disturbance caused by Feng Tian, no one was in the mood, so the rest of the engagement ceremony was hastily concluded.
Late at night, on a solitary mountain.
Feng Tian stood on the mountaintop, and the scary wound on his neck and face had already scabbed over, but his whole body was covered in blood stains that he had not cleaned off. He stood in the strong mountain wind like a wooden stake.
The burning shame in his heart was scorching his soul, and the scene of that humiliation kept flashing in front of his eyes, causing his gaze to sometimes turn crazy and sometimes bewildered. His ghastly face was twisted to the extreme.
Feng Tian, you have always satisfied me since you were born, except for one thing you have had too smooth of a journey so far and have not experienced any setbacks or frustrations. For a strong person, this is a fatal flaw.
Grandfather, isnt it good to have a smooth journey?
Hmm? Qi Beis other hand quietly reached toward Huan Yings perky butt.
Young Masters skin is so tender now. When I touch it, it feels like Im touching a woman, Huan Ying said while lowering her head, but a hint of cunning flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Qi Beis hand froze in midair, and then he fell limp, lying spread-eagled. His heart really was injured
I want to sunbathe. Damn, this is so frustrating, Qi Bei shouted indignantly.
Just then, Jin Gang pushed the door open and hummed, Young Master, someone from the Patriarchs side has come to deliver a message, telling you to go to the Ancestral Hall immediately.
Now? Qi Bei sat up, a sudden doubt rising in his mind. It was so late at night, what urgent matter did the old man have to find him now?
Qi Bei got dressed hastily and went to the Ancestral Hall.
Outside the gate of the ancestral hall, the guards were standing in a strict formation. At the sight of this scene, Qi Beis heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be that an old enemy had sent someone to seek revenge on him, or that Feng Tian had already found a backer in Heavenly Mountain Peak to support him? How shameless! As a powerful King-grade thunder mage of a Holy Land, he was defeated by Qi Bei, a mere Intermediate warrior. Now he still had face to seek help from others!
Upon entering the ancestral hall, however, Qi Bei found that only the patriarch Kurt Nord, his father Raymond, and his eldest brother Huaian were present. All three of them looked serious.
Qi Bei, come and pay your respects to our ancestors, Kurt said in a hoarse voice.
Qi Bei responded and knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet, performing the ritual of worship respectfully.
After the worship was over, Kurt took out a small black box and handed it to Qi Bei, saying, This is the document of your fief. You will set out for West Spirit City immediately.
What? Qi Bei opened his mouth wide, surprised by the unexpected order to leave in the middle of the night.
Ignoring Qi Beis reaction, Kurt said, Xiao Jiu and Thirteen, come out. (TL : Xiao Jiu = Little Nine )
Two figures wrapped in black robes appeared before Kurt in a ghostly manner and respectfully greeted him, Greetings, master.
From now on, I am no longer your master, Qi Bei is. Follow him, Kurt said.
