610: Li Baiyi, how dare you call me by my name?
However, sometimes, even if a person doesn't actively seek trouble, trouble can stick to them like a dog skin plaster, impossible to shake off.
And coincidentally, Li Baiyi was just such a person!
If Shen Tianxing were here, dealing with this would be effortless, but Li Tongshen was not his match right now.
Li Tongshen also didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.
Seeing that Li Tongshen didn't answer his question, a cold glint flashed in Li Baiyi's eyes. His hands clenched in his sleeves, and his voice became even colder.
"Li Tongshen, I'm speaking to you. What? Do you not even have the courage to speak? As a disciple of the Li Clan, retreating is not what a Prodigy of our clan should do!"
"If you are a man, don't think about relying on Junior Sister Yaochi's protection. Instead, Face me head-on!"
Li Baiyi's voice was grating. This time, not only did the Li Clan disciples present find it unbearable, but even Li Tongshen couldn't help but frown.
He looked at Li Baiyi as if he were looking at a mad dog.
However, even so, he still wouldn't provoke such a person, because it was a huge trouble!
His Young Master had said that if he encountered someone he couldn't afford to provoke, he should just run away decisively and not suffer for the sake of so-called Face.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and he could deal with the other party later when he had the chance.
Li Tongshen said indifferently, "I have nothing to say to you. Moreover, your shamelessness is truly ugly. Everyone knows my strength is far inferior to yours, yet you ask me to Face you head-on. Don't you think you're foolish?"
"I, Li Tongshen, am not as foolish as you to say such stupid things!"
Commotion!
Upon hearing this, the Li Clan disciples all burst into laughter!
Especially that fellow Kui Niu, who was laughing so hard he could barely stand up, pointing at Li Tongshen and laughing so much he couldn't speak.
They had seen malicious people, but never one so directly insulting, and right in front of Li Baiyi's Face!
"You...!"
Li Baiyi's already pale Face became even paler, tinged with a hint of green.
He was so angry his Face turned green!
From birth, he had been among the most talented in the Li Clan, with few able to compare. After stepping out, no one dared to contend with him.
The four words 'Li Clan Prodigy' seemed tailor-made for him!
When had his Face ever been slapped so directly?
Now, Li Tongshen was practically stripping him of his Face!
"What 'me, me'? Did I say something wrong? Alright, move aside. I don't have time to argue with you. I have urgent business with the Saintess!"
There were quite a few people on Phoenix Immortal Peak now. Li Tongshen felt that if he kept scolding, Li Baiyi might really explode.
It was better to quit while he was ahead.
Li Baiyi was now in a dilemma, at least he certainly couldn't attack Li Tongshen here.
Not only did the Li Clan rules forbid it, but the many Li Clan disciples would also not allow him to act here.
If Yaochi found out, it would be even more troublesome.
He would endure it for now!
Boom!!!
Before everyone could recover from the previous excitement, suddenly, from the depths of Phoenix Immortal Peak, in a place shrouded by five-colored auspicious clouds, a terrifying Qi erupted.
That Qi was like a blazing sun, filled with scorching heatwaves, sweeping across the sky, stirring the clouds within a radius of ten million li into surging heatwaves, turning them crimson.
It was as if the entire sea of clouds had turned into a sea of fire!
"Phoenix Divine Fire! It's the Saintess's Qi! The Saintess is about to emerge from seclusion!"
A Li Clan disciple looked towards the depths of the sea of fire and exclaimed loudly.
The surrounding Li Clan disciples all showed reverence, watching the surging hot flames churning in the depths of the auspicious clouds, each person standing motionless.
This was their Saintess, Yaochi!
With such a peerless Saintess, the entire younger generation of the Li Clan would have more confidence in this Sacred Domain.
After all, they were an ancient hidden clan. Without a Prodigy who could suppress an era emerging, it would be very troublesome in the Sacred Domain.
The main reason why powerful clans could endure for generations was that their Legacy was unbroken, always suppressing other forces.
Li Baiyi gazed Obsessed at the divine fire's radiance, his eyes gradually becoming more fervent.
Yaochi was his Junior Sister; they had practically grown up together. He had countless times imagined in his heart that one day he would be with Yaochi.
However, Yaochi's thoughts never seemed to be on him, which made him terribly distraught.
Especially Li Tongshen's frequent meetings with Yaochi made him even more uncomfortable.
Poor Li Tongshen had inexplicably become his imaginary enemy.
Throughout the Li Clan, many ancient powerhouses in seclusion opened their eyes, looking at Phoenix Immortal Peak with great satisfaction.
Then these powerhouses quickly subsided.
At the same time, in the depths of Phoenix Immortal Peak, the divine fire's radiance gradually disappeared, and a breathtakingly beautiful figure stepped out from within.
She was draped in five-colored auspicious light, her aura contained, and her entire being carried a divine glow, like a supreme deity.
Her exquisite and beautiful Face, her dark and luminous eyes, were like scattered starlight, illuminating this mountain peak.
With a step, Yaochi's figure had already landed on Phoenix Immortal Peak.
"Saintess!"
Many clansmen saluted.
Li Tongshen and Li Baiyi also bowed.
Yaochi was the Saintess; this was a clan rule. Except for the elder generation of masters in the clan and the Divine Son, everyone else had to bow.
"No need for formalities, all clansmen."
Yaochi lightly parted her red lips and said very amiably.
At this moment, she seemed to be living in the human world, rather than being a high and mighty deity.
Seeing Li Tongshen, Yaochi nodded slightly and said, "Very good, you've entered the Immortal Realm."
No one expected that the first person the Saintess greeted would be Li Tongshen!
And not Li Baiyi!
This almost made Li Baiyi gnash his teeth in anger.
"Junior Sister Yaochi!"
Li Baiyi stepped forward, a smile he thought was handsome gracing his Face.
Yaochi glanced at him, but said very indifferently, "Li Baiyi, is my name something you can call?"
This person was truly like a dog skin plaster; ever since they were young, he would always call her by her name as soon as they met, which was very annoying.
Perhaps the former Yaochi would have endured it.
But ever since the Phoenix Spiritual Blood within her body was completely absorbed and refined by her, her personality had also been slightly affected, becoming vastly different from before.
Hearing Li Baiyi call her that, Yaochi no longer endured it as usual and immediately turned hostile.
Li Baiyi's Face stiffened at her words. He never expected that Yaochi would make him lose Face in front of so many people.
This would have been impossible before!
This was also where Li Baiyi thought he could manipulate Yaochi; he knew her personality too well!
But today, it was different from before!
The Li Clan disciples present were also somewhat surprised, but more of them were gloating.
Li Baiyi was not well-liked among the Li Clan.
No one could stand Li Baiyi's arrogance and swagger.
Now that he was publicly humiliated, everyone was very happy.
