Chapter 82: Is This The Big Shot’s Lair?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Teacher, is it really you?”

On the carriage, Li Yu looked extremely excited.

At first, he thought his eyes had been playing tricks on him.

The reason being, the Householder Qing Lian he remembered was not as handsome as the person he was looking at now, and most importantly, his aura was different.

“Why are you here?”

Facing Li Yu, Ye Ping looked extremely composed.

Putting aside the fact that Li Yu used to be his fan, Li Yu was now just a wealthy and authoritative figure, but Ye Ping was now different from what he used to be.

He was now an immortal cultivator.

‘Aren’t I impressive?’

Besides, he was an immortal cultivator of a supreme hidden sect.

Hence, Ye Ping wouldn’t be extra polite just because Li Yu was wealthy. He would just treat him as per normal.

“Teacher, I’m planning to go to the ancient city of Qingzhou to watch the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet. What about you?”

Li Yu seemed extremely respectful as he was hesitant in his speech, and there was barely any flaw.

“Oh, that’s quite a coincidence.”

Ye Ping did not expect that Li Yu was also going to the ancient city of Qingzhou. It was indeed quite a coincidence.

As soon as he heard Ye Ping say that he was also going to the ancient city of Qingzhou, Li Yu hurriedly walked down from the carriage and walked towards Ye Ping. “Teacher, are you also going to the ancient city? This place is about 400 kilometers away from the ancient city, and the journey is going to be arduous. Why don’t you let me send you?”

Li Yu exclaimed excitedly, his eyes full of enthusiasm and joy.

As Ye Ping’s big fan, how could Li Yu let Ye Ping go to the Qingzhou Ancient City alone?

“Let’s go together?”

Ye Ping was a little hesitant and turned to look at Su Changyu in a bid to question him.

Countless cultivators on the official passage were watching them, and they all seemed extremely curious about why the man on the carriage was so polite to a young man.

It really piqued their curiosity.

However, when he saw Ye Ping’s gaze, Su Changyu froze in shock.

‘Why are you choosing not to board a carriage for free?’

Besides, it was a splendid carriage, and Su Changyu was definitely willing to board it.

“Since he’s your disciple, I won’t be a killjoy.”

Su Changyu’s voice was calm, but he was extremely keen on boarding the carriage.

Hearing Su Changyu’s answer, Li Yu couldn’t help but seem extremely curious.

“Teacher, who’s this?”

Li Yu looked at Su Changyu.

In his eyes, Su Changyu had an extraordinary aura, and although his realm seemed mediocre, he had a dignified gaze between his brows and his aura was really rare.

“He’s my eldest Senior Brother.”

After the introduction, Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, this person hasn’t formally acknowledged me yet, so he isn’t considered my disciple.”

Ye Ping explained seriously. After all, if he had really acknowledged Ye Ping as his master, Li Yu would be a disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect. He didn’t dare to take in disciples on behalf of the sect so he had to explain clearly.

However, although Ye Ping did not take him as a disciple, Li Yu wasn’t bothered about it and continued to address Ye Ping as his master. Hence, Ye Ping decided to leave him be since he wouldn’t be at a loss anyway.

“So he’s Uncle-Master. Greetings, Uncle-Master.”

Li Yu did not care about what Ye Ping said but excitedly looked at Su Changyu and said so.

Before Su Changyu could continue, Li Yu had already moved and gestured for the two of them to get onto the carriage.

“Uncle-Master, Master, it’s a long journey. Let’s take our time and chat in the carriage.”

Unable to contain his excitement, Li Yu enthusiastically asked Su Changyu and Ye Ping to get on the carriage.

On the other hand, Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu. If Su Changyu was resistant to the idea, he wouldn’t get on the carriage either.

“Thank you very much.”

Su Changyu thanked Li Yu calmly.

“Don’t mention it, Uncle-Master. It’s only right for me to respect my teacher. It’d be my honor and fortune if you can get on the carriage.”

Li Yu was neither arrogant nor conceited. In fact, he even personally assisted Su Changyu and Ye Ping to get on the carriage. He was very thorough with his etiquette, and no one could find any flaws in it.

The two of them got into the carriage.

The carriage didn’t seem very large from the outside, but when they entered, they discovered that there was a whole new world inside.

The interior of the carriage was spacious and there were long tables on each side, on which there were many fruits and wine. Five other people were seated quietly.

There were three men seated on the left and two women on the right. The division was clear.

When Su Changyu entered, the five of them couldn’t help but look at him.

In particular, the two women couldn’t take their eyes off him.

When Ye Ping appeared, they couldn’t help but be even more astonished.

Su Changyu and Ye Ping were undoubtedly extremely good-looking, and their auras were unique too. They immediately won the favor of the crowd.

That’s just what the world was like. Attractive people are often somehow more likable.

“Uncle-Master, Master, please take a seat.”

Behind them, Li Yu got into the carriage and immediately asked Ye Ping and Su Changyu to take a seat.

In his mind, Ye Ping was already his teacher, and since Su Changyu was Ye Ping’s Senior Brother, that made Su Changyu his Uncle-Master. He naturally had to arrange for them to be seated in the superior seats.

Su Changyu and Ye Ping did not act pretentiously and settled down on the main seats.

However, they soon set off again with Li Yu’s orders.

Inside the carriage.

Li Yu was seated in the first seat on the left and looked at everyone. Immediately afterwards, he introduced the two of them to the rest proudly.

“Everyone, this is my master, Householder Qing Lian. The other man here is my Uncle-Master, his name is…”

With some smugness in his eyes, Li Yu introduced Ye Ping and Su Changyu to the crowd. However, when he was introducing Su Changyu, he was at a loss because he didn’t know what Su Changyu’s name was.

“Su Changyu.”

Ye Ping said slowly.

“Oh, Su Changyu, Uncle-Master Su.”

Li Yu was slightly embarrassed, but he soon looked at Ye Ping and Su Changyu again.

“Master, Uncle-Master, let me introduce to you, this is the eldest son of the Changsun family, Changsun Gaozhan. This is Nie Xin, the son of the Marquis of Ping Nation, and this is Xu Qiubai, the young master of the Lijian Villa.”

Li Yu introduced the three people around him to Ye Ping and Su Changyu.

All three of them were handsome and suave. Although their auras were inferior to Ye Ping and Su Changyu, the clothes they wore and their temperament that they had cultivated since they were young showed that they were extraordinary.

“Greetings, Householder Qing Lian. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Su.”

The three spoke in unison and they looked rather respectful. Although Su Changyu’s aura was a notch higher than Ye Ping’s, it was obvious that his identity as Householder Qing Lian was much more famous.

“Greetings.”

Ye Ping smiled and cupped his fists in response.

Although he did not know the identity of those three people, he was no longer a newbie.

The identity of Householder Qing Lian was not just a joke.

However, Su Changyu froze in shock.

‘Changsun family?’

‘The famous Changsun family that is said to be the best in the nation?’

‘The marquis of Ping Nation? The youngest marquis in Jin Nation?’

‘Lijian Villa? The Lijian Villa of the Three Thousand Dao Sect?”

Su Changyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was extremely agitated too. However, the more agitated he was, the more aloof he seemed.

Changsun Gaozhan, Nie Xin, and Xu Qiubai were also secretly observing Su Changyu and Ye Ping.

When Li Yu revealed their identities, they stared at Su Changyu and Ye Ping.

However, to their surprise…

Su Changyu didn’t look shocked and instead remained indifferent.

Ye Ping seemed extremely calm too, as if he didn’t care about their identities.

That made them extremely shocked.

The Changsun family, the Marquis of Ping Nation, and the Lijian Villa were all top forces of the Jin Nation.

In such a situation, there were only two possibilities for Su Changyu to not be surprised in any way.

Firstly, it could be that Su Changyu didn’t know.

The second was that they didn’t care.

They thought that it was clearly the second.

The fact that the prince of the Jin Kingdom had such great respect for Householder Qing Lian was enough to prove that Householder Qing Lian was definitely not as simple as ordinary people.

The three exchanged glances and seemed to be communicating with each other through their gazes.

‘We can’t afford to provoke them.’

“Young Master Li, why didn’t you introduce us?”

At this moment, one of the two women in the carriage voiced up in displeasure.

Hearing her words, Li Yu immediately burst into laughter.

“I was too excited because I met my teacher by chance, please forgive me, Miss Shuang’er.”

After saying that, he looked at Ye Ping and Su Changyu.

“Master, Uncle-Master, these two fairies are Miss Shuang’er and Miss Ning’er from the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.”

Li Yu continued to introduce.

“By the way, Uncle-Master, the clothes that you’re wearing are designed by Miss Shuang’er, and Master, your clothes are designed by Miss Ning’er.”

Li Yu added, “You’re fated.”

Ye Ping was a little surprised as he didn’t expect there to be such a coincidence.

However, Ye Ping was not very shocked. After all, garment-making was not a competent job to him. He felt that it was inferior to immortal cultivation.

On the other hand, Su Changyu was completely speechless.

‘What kind of carriage is this?’

‘The eldest son of the top family of Jin Nation.’

‘The son of the marquis of Jin Nation.’

‘The disciple of the Three Thousand Dao Sect.’

‘Even the designers of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion are here.’

‘Who is this Li Yu?’

Su Changyu felt dumbstruck.

‘This group of people is so powerful, especially the two designers of Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, who are part of the Twelve Golden Hairpins.’

The clothes produced by the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion were famous in the ten kingdoms, and all the wealthy people and cultivators loved the brand.

The Twelve Golden Hairpins were the most authoritative figures who designed and created all the latest designs.

Hence, the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion was not only wealthy, they were well-connected and commanded great respect even from the kings too.

‘Have I entered the big shots’ lair?”

In an instant, Su Changyu fell silent.

He was at a loss for what to do.

He was extremely uneasy.

He really wanted to pull Ye Ping away because he couldn’t get used to it.

“Come on, I’m really happy about meeting my master today. Master, I’ll toast to you thrice, let’s drink to our hearts’ content.”

Li Yu hurriedly raised his glass to toast.

Everyone else followed suit.
