Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled Chapter 477 - 473: Li Qingyu Wins Over the Geniuses

"These people tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice, and in an instant beca anxious, hurriedly saying, ’Lord Holy Sword, we an no harm...’

’Lord Holy Sword, we were wrong, please...’

A dazzling golden light quickly flashed through Holy Sword’s eyes, but it ignored the shouting crowd, rely looking down on them with a hint of indifference.

’If you keep chattering, there’s no need to proceed with the remaining assessnts.’

As soon as these words were spoken, the shouting inheritors imdiately quieted down, not daring to speak further.

They even subtly retreated so distance, moving further away from where Xia Feng and his two companions were.

Li Qingyu’s eyes were red with rage. The Sword Intent Body she had worked so hard to receive was taken back, and her ridians reverted to their original state.

This made her seethe with hatred.

Yet even so, after hearing the Holy Sword Elder’s words, she dared not try any more petty tricks around Li Qingxue.

The other prodigies who were stripped of their rewards dared not confront the Holy Sword Elder above them, nor did they dare to disturb Li Qingxue and the others, so all their resentnt was directed at Li Qingyu.

’We clearly passed the first stage, yet insisted on ssing it up, resulting in no rewards from the first stage.’

’Exactly, we were only off by a little ti, we would’ve been rewarded too, now the advantage of the Sword Intent Body was taken away.’

’Had I known, I wouldn’t have listened to instigation, should’ve followed Young Master Liu Yu.’

These people didn’t dare complain directly to Li Qingyu, only managing to make snide remarks here.

However, how could Li Qingyu not pick up on it? Having lost the reward, she was already in a foul mood, and those people murmured and muttered, infuriating Li Qingyu to the point of drawing her Divine Sword.

’When I asked earlier, you all agreed to deal with them, now you’re punished and you bla .’

’Where in the world is there such an easy way out? You made your own decisions, so accept the consequences yourself!’

Beside her, a girl was so angry that her eyes turned red: ’We never intended to trouble those few people, it was you who urged us, otherwise we wouldn’t have acted so impulsively.’

Li Qingyu sneered and spoke, ’In the end, it’s your own soft ears and heavy jealousy.’

Having said this, her expression turned even worse.

These words weren’t directed only at these prodigies—it was true of herself too, her jealousy got her reward taken by the Holy Sword Elder.

Li Qingyu took deep breaths, forcing herself not to dwell on these matters: ’Rather than getting bogged down here with these things, why don’t we figure out a way to deal with those three?’

’Otherwise, when the later assessnts arrive, with their previous rewards, they’ll have an easier ti obtaining the inheritance.’

As soon as these words ca out, everyone’s expressions beca subtle, but they couldn’t deal with the three at the mont, casting hateful glances at Xia Feng and his companions.

On the other hand, beside them, Liu Yu seed more alert, appearing to weigh the pros and cons of which side he should stand with to gain the most benefit.

Li Qingyu, after rallying for so long, saw the remaining prodigies’ expressions grow worse. The girl who spoke last looked at Li Qingyu cautiously and said, ’Share your thoughts.’

’Let’s see if there’s a feasible plan, then decide.’

’After all, you’ve already tricked us once, we must be a little guarded.’

Li Qingyu’s expression twisted montarily, but quickly corrected herself, smiling as she said, ’I know it’s hard for you to decide right now.’

’But I can tell you, I have information on the upcoming stages.’

’If you follow , it’ll definitely be easier to survive the later assessnts.’

’Besides, there will definitely be more rewards later; only by surviving can you obtain them, right?’

Having said this, quite a few people were tempted, even secretly preparing to agree with her.

Liu Yu scoffed on the side: ’If you really knew, why were your rewards taken back?’

’Or are you intentionally causing more to miss out on rewards?’

Before he could finish, those who had been tempted now looked at Li Qingyu suspiciously, infuriating her as she glared at Liu Yu several tis.

’Damn you, if you’re not joining, don’t say random words!’

Liu Yu shrugged, refraining from further provoking Li Qingyu, simply turning his back and staying silent.

Many prodigies hesitated, unsure if they should continue with Li Qingyu.

Li Qingyu’s reputation outside had been fine, but in the Secret Realm, they had seen through her several tis already.

They were genuinely worried if she would stab them in the back later on.

In the end, few gathered beside Li Qingyu, but most agreed if given the chance, they would certainly target Xia Feng.

While they plotted, Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming had already finished their Sword Intent Body and began comprehending the feeling they just experienced.

Xia Feng still had half an hour to comprehend it, and people couldn’t help but look at him with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Holy Sword Elder looked down at the scene, with a hint of interest in his eyes, seemingly wondering how Xia Feng would deal with these scheming individuals.

Half an hour quickly passed, and the sword intent within Xia Feng also gradually dissipated into his body.

The benefits this hour of sword intent endowed Xia Feng with were beyond words; he slightly opened his eyes, so residual sense of the Sword Intent Body lingering in him.

Just as Xia Feng was about to speak, the Dream Realm Pearl suddenly swept around inside him, sucking in the remaining sword intent that hadn’t yet dissipated.

Xia Feng was startled, instinctively looking up at the Holy Sword Elder hovering above.

Coincidentally, for so reason, the Holy Sword Elder was looking down at him too, eyes filled with specks of golden light, exerting extre pressure on him.

Yet in a flash, the Holy Sword Elder’s gaze shifted away, seemingly oblivious to the Dream Realm Pearl’s little move.

Xia Feng cautiously stepped to Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming’s side, his mind racing.

He had already considered how to respond if the Holy Sword Elder asked about the vanished sword intent.

But the Holy Sword Elder never spoke up, rely scanning everyone present.

’Congratulations on passing the first stage and receiving its reward.’

’The second assessnt is about to comnce—are you ready?’

Although the Holy Sword Elder asked this, it didn’t seem like any preparations would be allowed.
