Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7577

Chapter 7491: She’s Too Beautiful

“Senior Brother Li, this Senior Sister Zhao is far stronger than me. She’s already reached the sixth-tier Divine Seed Realm. Perhaps she’s a bit arrogant, but it wouldn’t hurt for you two to befriend her,” Jiang Wuqi whispered to Li Tianming.

Before Li Tianming could respond, Zhao Xiyuan chuckled, “You’re quite confident, but the second round of the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle isn’t just about individual strength; it requires teamwork. Arrogance won’t bring you any advantage.”

“No need for you to worry about that,” Li Tianming replied with a forced smile.

In reality, Li Tianming was inwardly sneering.

If she offered to protect him during the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle, that would be somewhat understandable, a form of care. But when did ‘letting him off the hook’ become considered help?

The probability of them encountering each other was extremely low; this was practically a preemptive humiliation of a hypothetical meeting!

If it weren’t for saving face for Jiang Wuqi, Li Tianming would have easily turned on her!

Zhao Xiyuan, seemingly accustomed to her aloofness, was completely oblivious to her own offense, instead frowning slightly at Li Tianming’s reaction.

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two, Jiang Wuqi smiled and smoothed things over, saying, “Whether it’s Senior Sister Zhao or Senior Brother Li, you’re both stronger than me. The most important thing now is to prepare for the second round of the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle. Let’s not ruin our harmony.”

“Wuqi is absolutely right. The Myriad Sects Emperor Battle is always the most important. Whoever advances will bring opportunities,” Zhao Xiyuan nodded slightly, seemingly toning down her previous arrogance.

“Senior Brother Li, you must have made progress in your cultivation over the past two thousand years, right?” Jiang Wuqi suddenly probed Li Tianming, seemingly trying to find a topic of conversation.

Li Tianming smiled and said, “A little progress, but not much.”

“Resources in small places are really poor, so slow progress is normal. Getting to this point is actually quite lucky. If we had gone any further, we might have lost our lives,” Zhao Xiyuan said calmly.

“Indeed, indeed, compared to the Myriad Wings Ancient Sect, my Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect is really not up to par,” Li Tianming nodded, seemingly very serious.

Zhao Xiyuan was slightly taken aback. She felt that Li Tianming was being sarcastic, but what he said also seemed to be a consensus. After all, the gap between the two sects was indeed large, and he seemed to be genuinely being modest.

She didn’t know whether to be angry or amused, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Instead, she felt a kind of inexplicable disgust.

At this moment, Jiang Wuqi suddenly changed the subject, looking at Jiang Feiling with some curiosity, “This Miss Jiang has also come to Fengxu at this critical juncture. Could it be that she’s here to participate in the war?”

“No, she’s just here to keep me company. She’s not participating in the Myriad Sects Emperor War,” Li Tianming said with a smile and a shake of his head.

Zhao Xiyuan glanced at Jiang Feiling, seemingly stunned by her beauty. This girl… was simply too beautiful!

It seemed that anyone who considered themselves a beauty would pale in comparison standing next to her!

However, she suppressed her amazement at her appearance and said calmly, “Didn’t participate? Then it must be that your talent isn’t up to par for this kind of battlefield. But it’s alright, coming along to see the real geniuses and broaden your horizons is a gain in itself.”

“This… perhaps Miss Jiang is still young. After all, Senior Brother Li already has such strength, so I guess their sect has quite a few who can even qualify for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War,” Jiang Wuqi quickly added.

Jiang Feiling and Li Tianming didn’t refute her words, and even found it somewhat amusing.

In the Guanzizai Realm, Zhao Xiyuan couldn’t discern Li Tianming’s true size, nor could she tell the size of Jiang Feiling’s divine body.

It seemed that in her eyes, Li Tianming was just a kid who barely made it out of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, and Jiang Feiling was just a pretty face without any real strength.

However, the truth is that Li Tianming has already reached the third-tier Divine Seed Realm, and his true combat strength has long since reached a higher level.

A mere sixth-tier Divine Seed Realm cultivator is not even considered a match for Li Tianming!

Jiang Feiling is even more formidable; her size of thirty light-years far surpasses the level of any participant in the Myriad Sects Emperor War.

Li Tianming doesn’t need to let others know all this; as long as he performs his duty in the war, that’s enough.

Seeing the crowd staring at each other blankly, Jiang Wuqi stepped forward and said slowly, “Gentlemen, individual alliances are nothing special in this Myriad Sects Emperor War. The most important thing is sect alliances, which can create greater value. I see that Senior Brother Li’s combat strength is not low either. In fact, if he could unite with the Myriad Wings Ancient Sect, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. This might benefit both sides, so there’s no need to be so closed off.”

His purpose was clear: to act as a go-between for the two and facilitate an alliance!

Of course, his main purpose was to advise Li Tianming not to be too stubborn and inflexible, lest Zhao Xiyuan completely give up on reaching out.

“An alliance?”

Zhao Xiyuan frowned slightly upon hearing Jiang Wuqi’s words.

She seemed hesitant.

In fact, Zhao Xiyuan’s and Jiang Wuqi’s families had always been on good terms, and now that Jiang Wuqi had directly stated his intention to facilitate the alliance, she seemed unable to refuse.

This was Jiang Wuqi using his family connections to promote cooperation.

After a long pause, Zhao Xiyuan coldly said, “Let’s see if we can meet at the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.”

Jiang Wuqi’s expression faltered slightly upon hearing this, seemingly somewhat helpless.

Zhao Xiyuan’s words were neither an agreement nor a refusal, which was tantamount to a polite refusal.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Wuqi couldn’t insist any further. He knew that given the subtle tension of their initial encounter, Li Tianming’s personality made it unlikely he would choose to unite, and Zhao Xiyuan seemed to have never taken Li Tianming seriously.

The chances of successfully facilitating an alliance were actually very slim.

Jiang Wuqi sighed helplessly and could only look at everyone, smiling as he said, “Anyway, meeting is fate. Since we’ve all coincidentally gathered together, why don’t we go for a walk? I’ll pay for everything later. Let’s relax a bit before the battle begins, shall we?”

“I have something to do, I’ll be going now,” Zhao Xiyuan immediately said.

In reality, she disliked both Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling, who were dazzling but ’empty’ vases.

If she walked with the two of them, she would not only be overshadowed but also feel even more uncomfortable.

So, after saying this, she didn’t hesitate at all and walked in another direction without even looking back.

Jiang Wuqi scratched his head helplessly and could only hurriedly say goodbye to Li Tianming.

“Senior Brother Li, that’s all for now. Have fun with Miss Jiang. If you need anything, feel free to contact me,” Jiang Wuqi waved to Li Tianming as he caught up with Zhao Xiyuan.

“Alright, go ahead,” Li Tianming waved back indifferently.

Watching the two figures leave, Li Tianming’s eyes seemed to flicker slightly, as if he were thinking about something.
