Chapter 4319: As One Wishes
Everyone watched with bated breath because they knew the consequence of killing here. The beehive has been disturbed.
The ward belonged to the great powers so Li Qiyeâs wanton disregard for the rules was contemptuous, to say the least.
Elder Hu became afraid because this was unprecedented. No one from a smaller sect had dared to kill in this area, lest they provoke the behemoths.
âItâs over.â He turned pale after seeing Li Qiye surrounded.
Sure, the sect master was probably strong enough to bring them out of here unscathed. Alas, even in this case, the ward would report their crime and stronger experts would pursue them later on.
Only Li Qiye remained calm as if this was no big deal.
âThis is the end for Little Diamond.â The audience whispered.
Such impudence would not go unpunished. A light punishment would be merciful. The worst-case scenario would be sect destruction.
âSurrender now!â The leader roared.
The audience didnât dare to breathe loudly after hearing the furious leader.
âWhat are you doing? Sheath your weapons.â Miss Ming interrupted and surprised everyone.
âMiss Ming.â The leader said: âLittle Diamond Sect Master killed someone just now and broke our rules.â
This was indeed disrespectful to the ward. Moreover, Eight Tiger was related to Deer King, a member of Dragon.
Both the ward and Deer King couldnât take this sitting down.
âDo you think I need a refresher course of the rules from you?â She said.
âButâ¦â The leader was in a tough position. How could he answer to the higher-ups?
âLooks like Deer King did a terrible job with training. You should change your post.â Miss Mingâs expression darkened. There was something about her aura that intimidated the entire ward.
âMy mistake, please excuse my stupidity, Miss Ming.â The leader realized that he had messed with the wrong person and lowered his head.
He received this position after being recommended by Deer King. Thus, he had no choice but to make life hard for Little Diamondâs members.
Deer King thought that he didnât need to be involved in this mess. Just an order was enough to take care of Little Diamond.
Alas, this situation changed drastically the moment Miss Ming got involved. Though she was technically a maid, her master was a big shot and it wouldnât be difficult for them to kick him out of his current position at the ward.
Thus, the leader didnât dare to go against her despite wanting to curry favor with Deer King. He immediately put away his weapon and bowed towards Li Qiye.
The scene was strangely quiet since spectators were dumbfounded. Of course, Little Diamondâs members knew that she was doing this out of consideration for their sect master, not their sect.
But why would she do so? They couldnât come up with an answer.
As for the rest of the audience, they wondered if Little Diamond had managed to climb up the right branch. Could they be carps swimming up the dragon gate?
First, they were assigned to the heaven-level rooms. Now, Miss Ming protected Li Qiye even though he had just killed Eight Tiger Sect Master.
âI apologize for our fellow disciplesâ disrespect.â Miss Ming slightly bowed towards Li Qiye.
Li Qiye smiled and stretched: âItâs no big deal. Iâm tired now and need to rest. Letâs hurry this up.â
His attitude surprised them once more. He was speaking to her as if she was a maid to be commanded.
Elder Hu thought that if they were in Li Qiyeâs shoes, they would be enthusiastically thanking her for saving them.
âThe audacity of this brat.â One crowd member whispered.
They didnât know who she was. Nonetheless, given the reaction from the wardâs members, she was clearly someone important. Li Qiyeâs attitude was overly haughty and borderline suicidal.
Strangely enough, she didnât have a problem with this and ordered: âPrepare everything for the young noble.â
The leader didnât dare to say no. Miss Ming had no problem with the guyâs attitude, let alone a nobody like him.
âYoung Noble, just let us know if you need anything else.â Miss Ming added.
Everyone wondered how Li Qiye was receiving the best of treatments. He seemed to be an esteemed guest even at a prestigious place like the ward.
âWho the hell is backing Little Diamond?â This became the main question.
An elder speculated: âThis new sect master must have a relationship with someone important. Thatâs the only explanation for this. Just who is he?â
Little Diamond had participated in numerous conferences in the past but this was unprecedented.
Meanwhile, Li Qiyeâs group was led to the heaven-level area. They had their own courtyard as a result.
The grand style of this place showed that it was meant for big shots only. Not to mention the youths, even Elder Hu had never seen a place so extravagant before. Everything inside was expensive and precious.
âI think this courtyard is worth more than our sect.â An older disciple stared at the jade pillars inside.
