378: clown
Qin Jiang directly hugged Li Qingqiu and returned to the courtyard.
Along the way, they encountered many li Family Disciples, all casting astonished gazes.
How did their li Family's aloof goddess run into someone else's embrace?
Under the heartbroken gazes of the crowd, Qin Jiang had a smug expression, while Li Qingqiu lowered her head, buried in Qin Jiang's arms, completely ignoring the stares of others.
Just like that, the news of Li Qingqiu being taken quickly spread throughout the li Family.
At the same time, Li Yang in the remote small courtyard had just finished cultivating.
Because Li Qingqiu had just made a Breakthrough, she would usually appear at the training ground at this time to test her combat strength.
So, Li Yang strolled over to the training ground.
What if he could meet the goddess?
However, as soon as he arrived at the training ground, he heard many people sighing:
"Ah! My goddess, how could she be taken by a man?"
"I thought our li Family's aloof goddess wasn't interested in men, I didn't expect..."
"Sigh, if I had known this earlier, I would have pursued the goddess!"
"You? Look in the mirror!"
Hearing these voices, Li Yang's expression slightly stiffened.
There was only one recognized aloof goddess in the li Family, and that was Li Qingqiu.
Taken by a man?
How is that possible!
Besides the ancestor and a few high-ranking li Family members, there wasn't a single man in the entire li Family who could exchange a word with her, or even get a direct glance.
How did she suddenly have a man?
He quickly grabbed a Disciple and asked:
"Are you talking about Li Qingqiu?"
"Li Yang?
You trash, what are you doing at the training ground?"
"..."
As expected, he was still looked down upon.
Li Yang clenched his fists, looking at the other party's disdainful expression, wishing he could punch him.
"Also, what right do you have to call our li Family's successor 'cousin'?
Li Yang, you are just trash.
If it weren't for your li Family Bloodline, you would have been kicked out of the Family long ago.
What?
Trash like you dares to have ideas about our li Family's successor?
Hahaha, what a joke!"
"You..."
"What?
Want to fight?
Come on!"
Li Yang glared, but also knew he was no match for the other party.
He took a deep breath, endure!
The other party sneered, full of disdain, and directly pushed Li Yang:
"Get lost!"
Pushing Li Yang into a stumble, the other party turned and left.
In the li Family, sparring among fellow Disciples required mutual agreement to proceed.
Otherwise, there would be punishment.
So, although Li Yang was trash, at most he was subjected to insults and a few shoves.
He hadn't really been beaten much.
"Hahaha, brothers, let me tell you, that trash Li Yang actually dares to have thoughts about our aloof goddess, he really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Li Yang?
Trash like him also wants to eat swan meat!"
"Sigh, actually compared to the goddess, we are all considered trash."
"At least I know my place, but that trash Li Yang only knows how to daydream."
"No matter how much he daydreams, there's no chance anymore.
Our aloof goddess has already been taken by someone, and that person is someone we can't afford to offend."
"That's true."
While everyone was discussing, Li Yang could only hide in the corner and eavesdrop.
He was certain that Li Qingqiu had really been taken by a man.
It was said that just now, they were openly hugging, and Li Qingqiu was also looking shy.
Some even said they saw Li Qingqiu proactively kiss the other person, describing the details.
Li Yang was almost exploding with anger from listening.
He walked out of the training ground in a daze, muttering constantly:
"How could this be, impossible, fake, it's all fake..."
Dazed, he returned to the small courtyard, Li Yang still looked sluggish.
The chaos sword at his waist trembled slightly,
Three illusory figures appeared before Li Yang, their palms waving before his eyes:
"Hey, kid Li Yang!"
"Three Seniors..."
Li Yang came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, looked at the three illusory figures, and said:
"Three Seniors, am I really a Genius seen once in eternity?"
"Of course!"
"But why am I so trash now, even Li Qingqiu has been snatched away."
"..."
Snatched away?
She never belonged to you, how can she be snatched away?
Furthermore, you haven't met more than ten times, and you haven't even talked once.
And you consider her yours?
What kind of shrimp-head man is this!
The three illusory figures were all somewhat speechless.
Seeing the three silent, Li Yang became even more dejected.
Before, he cultivated diligently just to make Li Qingqiu look at him favorably, but now...
It seemed to have lost its meaning.
"Sigh, perhaps I am just trash."
He sighed.
From childhood to adulthood, he didn't have many experiences.
At first, he was pampered, but after he started cultivating, he was directly abandoned in less than half a year.
After that came endless mockery.
He had resisted, but the result of actively resisting was a beating and punishment from the Family.
Later, he could only endure repeatedly.
Until the first time he saw Li Qingqiu.
At that moment, all the mockery immediately disappeared, and all eyes were drawn to Li Qingqiu.
They all pretended to be gentlemen.
As for Li Yang, he was completely ignored.
Unprecedented peace.
This made Li Yang feel that as long as he stayed in front of Li Qingqiu, he wouldn't be mocked.
Similarly, he was also attracted to Li Qingqiu.
However, Li Qingqiu didn't pay attention to anyone; in her eyes, there was only indifference.
He had deliberately appeared in front of Li Qingqiu, but the other party didn't react at all.
Li Yang even doubted whether she had seen him.
But regardless, near Li Qingqiu, he could feel an unprecedented sense of security.
Unfortunately, Li Qingqiu rarely showed up, and even when she did, he wasn't necessarily able to see her.
Over the years, Li Yang had seen Li Qingqiu less than ten times.
Moreover, each time was almost just a fleeting glance.
But even so, Li Qingqiu's figure was deeply engraved in Li Yang's mind.
Before, the meaning of his cultivation was the hope that one day he could attract Li Qingqiu's attention.
Even just being looked at by Li Qingqiu would satisfy Li Yang, but now...
Looking back, he only now realized that although he hadn't seen Li Qingqiu many times, his life seemed to be filled with her.
Everything about him revolved around Li Qingqiu.
Now, Li Qingqiu belonged to someone else, and he, Li Yang, was a clown.
A darkly crawling clown!
He sat directly on the ground, a look of confusion on his face.
He didn't know what meaning his cultivation still held.
Anyway, Li Qingqiu had already been snatched away.
And no matter how he cultivated, he was just trash.
