The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 12: Li Qing Yu's Mask Exposed

Li Qing Yu held back her anger and said softly, "Um....Ge, can I come back?"

Li Qing He did not reply. His sharp gaze swept over his sister.

"Why is the Assassin Association looking for you?"

Li Qing Yu was stunned and looked at Li Qing He with a puzzled look, "Ge, what are you saying? I don't understand..."

Li Qing He, "They also visited the BaiLi clan group."

Li Qing Yu still displayed a foolish and innocent expression.

Li Qing He looked at this appearance and again frowned. He looked at his sister's eyes seriously and said, "Li Qing Yu, here is Luo Xing City, where all talent and strength gather. Take advantage of this opportunity well. It's time for you to take off your mask."

"Ge, what do you mean? Take off what mask? I don't understand." Li Qing Yu's appearance did not change, but her mood had already sunk to the bottom. Li Qing He had actually seen through his guise?

Li Qing He just wanted to remind his sister and did not intend to waste any more time. Li Qing Yu would accept her reminder or not, not within her range of consideration.

So Li Qing He directly left the topic and dealt with things that he thought were more important, "I received information that the reason behind the Killer Association's actions was due to the appearance of holy blood."

Li Qing Yu gave birth to a hint of shock in her heart. Holyblood?

Could there be new holy blood emerging?

"This information has not been confirmed yet, but we still have to pay attention to it" Li Qing He continued.

Li Qing Yu immediately put aside the fact that she was also a saint blood. After all, he had been hiding for many years. Even his bastard father was unaware of his flaws, there was no way an outsider would know his secret.

So the holy blood in question could only be someone else.

But...

"Why did GeGe tell me this?"

Why did this person tell him this important information? Wouldn't it be better if he told Li Qing Feng? Moreover, he had been very confident in my lies all along...

Li Qing He, "You seem to be smarter than Li Qing Feng."

Li Qing Yu, "..." Is this person intending to praise me, or insult Li Qing Feng's IQ? Maybe both?

Li Qing Yu blinked her eyes, "GeGe praised me too much. How can I compare to ErGe, I'm so far away from him."

"You mean you admit you're too smart and Li Qing Feng is way below you in comparison?"

Li Qing Yu, "..." This guy must have been intentional....

I can't believe Li Qing He didn't understand my point and must have deliberately misinterpreted it.

Li Qing He, "Don't be too confident and look down on others. Li Qing Feng might not be too smart, but her cultivation field is above yours."

Li Qing Yu, "..." Who do you mean? Alright, maybe I did look down on Li Qing Feng, but at least I won't say it blatantly to others, okay? Instead you as her brother instead showed your contempt for your sister without changing your expression. You're even worse than me!

Li Qing Yu scolded the person in front of her inwardly and only realized the important point in Li Qing He's sentence a moment after.

Li Qing Yu looked at Li Qing He with a slightly different light for a second, and then lowered her head again. Although it was only a glance, Li Qing He still noticed the different gaze that Li Qing Yu gave him.

"You've reached level 4."

Li Qing He noticed the aura around his sister was beginning to change. No more weakness. Li Qing Yu raised her head and an indifferent gaze fell on Li Qing He's body. While the one being stared at did not care about the oppressive aura of Li Qing Yu, "Not pretend anymore?"

"How do you know?" li Qing Yu's voice contained curiosity and arrogance, without her usual cowardice.

"I always knew."

Li Qing He's reply was still indifferent even after Li Qing Yu's aura turned into killing intent.

"What else do you know?"

Li Qing He tapped his finger on the table rhythmically and slowly replied, "You are a holy blood."

Li Qing Yu suddenly advanced her body and the atmosphere around her grew even more dangerous. He slightly tilted his head and smiled brightly, "You know, sometimes knowing too much can lead to your own death."

Li Qing He did not care about Li Qing Yu's dangerous sentence. She noticed the beautiful face smiling at her and her tone slightly eased, "You look a lot like aunt."

Li Qing Yu was silent. Perhaps among his family, only Li Qing He did not have any special prejudices for his mother. Even her father had never seriously put his mother into his eyes. There was no need to mention the stepmother and the other children, they hated her and her mother more.

She barely remembered how her mother looked, but as long as she looked at her face in the mirror, the threatening memories would come back neatly arranged.

Because, his face was 9 out of 10 points completely similar to his mother's.

His mother was a famous beauty in the Li clan when he was alive, while his father was also very handsome in his youth. Many praised the couple, either in terms of their feelings or their appearance.

But...

Thinking of his mother's death, Li Qing Yu felt like laughing cynically. Others may not know the truth, but they do. His father loved his mother only for the possessions her mother had.

He was a genius from birth. But for the sake of his safety, he had to pretend and accept all the humiliation. All the suffering she had with her mother, she remembered it. How his mother died, what was the cause of his mother's death, he remembered everything.

The treasure his father sought...

Maybe in a lifetime, his bastard father will never find him...

Li Qing Yu withdrew her killing intent and leaned lazily on the chair, one hand propping up her cheek, "What do you want to say?"

"Why is the Assassin Association looking for you?"

Li Qing Yu, "How do I know? The holy blood they seek should not be me."

Li Qing He, "Are you sure?"

Li Qing Yu frowned and impatiently replied, "I've been hiding perfectly all this time, what actions caught their attention? They might not even remember my name."

Li Qing He was silent.

Could he have guessed wrong?

If not Li Qing Yu, then who?

Li Qing Yu looked at her brother with a curious look, "You haven't told me, how did you know that I have reached level 4? Besides, how did you discover that I was a holy blood? Don't give me a random answer."

Li Qing He did not reply, he did not even glance at his sister who was directing an arrogant look at him.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Go."

"Talk correctly."

"GeGe, I always felt you were hiding a lot of secrets that even dad didn't realize."

Li Qing He looked at the sly smiling figure before him and could not help but doubt his decision. Perhaps he was too quick to tear off this mask of his sister which would most likely bring about unnecessary trouble in the future. And he hates trouble.

Li Qing He suddenly felt annoyed growing annoyed.

"out! I don't want to repeat it again." 

Tsk... Li Qing Yu was silent for a moment, "Then I will return again tomorrow."

After that, without delay, Li Qing Yu did not hesitate to leave her brother's site.

When Li Qing Yu reached her room, she was a little distracted, Damn it! Why do I just follow it!

Li Qing Yu felt bad when she realized that she had turned out to be intimidated by Li Qing He's momentum. Moreover, he had not even gotten an answer from Li Qing He.

"No problem, tomorrow I'll look for him to pay off this debt! Hmphh!"

After consoling himself, Li Qing Yu with a burning spirit began to cultivate.

......................

Li Qing He's Room,

Li Qing He was preparing to take a shower when his communication bracelet suddenly rang and interrupted his actions.

"Don't check."

Li Qing He observed a holographic image of a message that contained only one sentence, without a head or tail.

His expression did not change, but only he knew that this message had struck his inner calm.

He knew that in Luo Xing City, he did not belong to the ranks of strong people, but he was still very confident in the abilities in his hands. Even if he wasn't worthy in the eyes of the top ranks group, it didn't mean anyone would easily handle him.

Li Qing He suddenly had the feeling of being stared at by a pair of eyes hiding in the darkness. His every move was watched without him noticing.

Someone was staring at him, who was it?

It seemed like he had touched a line that should not be touched.

Li Qing He closed the message screen quietly. The feeling of being stared at grew increasingly intense, as if the party hiding in the darkness had no intention of covering it up.

Despite getting an anonymous message that looked like a threat, Li Qing He acted as if nothing had happened and continued his intention to take a shower then closed the room lights and slept quietly.

......................

The next day, the,

Li Qing Yu spent the night cultivating and managed to break through level 5.

There were no signs of a surge of spiritual energy in the surroundings or the chaos that occurred like when BaiLi Yun Yi broke through.

Li Qing Yu lazily got off the bed and stretched her waist.

Just like BaiLi Yun Hua who had a special constitution as holy blood, Li Qing Yu had an ability that was purely her own as one of the rare holy bloods.

Every being born as holy blood has a certain power that defies the natural order from the moment they are born. The ability that made them an extraordinary existence, became the darling of heaven.

Be it strength, intelligence, or talent, all of them surpassed normal levels. They are so valuable that they arouse jealousy and greed in the hearts of others.

That was why BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye were extremely protected and became the treasures of their respective clans. They grow up facing countless dangers every day. The fact that they managed to achieve this feat today proves how hard they are trying to survive.

Of course they can have the full support of their clan, this reality cannot be separated from their high identity. If it was someone with a low or invisible identity, they might have long been hunted by a group of greedy people. Even their own clan might take them to the advantage of the clan.

BaiLi Yun Hua and Li Qing Yu were aware of this so they always acted as low as possible in order not to leak anything. None of them trusted their respective clans.

As for Li Qing He...

It was just an accident.

Li Qing Yu was not too agitated, after all she had already decided that the other party had no intention of exposing her. While others may be annoying at times, it's not a problem. Li Qing Yu finished cleaning herself up and walked out of the room in a high mood. After all, he had managed to reach level 5.

However, maybe his luck was pretty bad today.

When Li Qing Yu was walking in the corridor, the sound of quarrels sounded quite loud and the high-pitched scream she was familiar with made her ears numb.

From the intersection of the corridor, Li Qing Xia walked out with an angry expression like a raging lioness.

Li Qing Yu, "..."

Li Qing Xia looked at the stunned young man on the spot when she saw him and felt even more embarrassed and annoyed. The stifled anger finally erupted. Nimbly his hand reached for the whip wrapped around his waist and launched a ferocious attack at the stunned young man, "Who allowed you to look at me with those two dirty eyes?!"

Bastard!!!

Li Qing Yu cussed in her heart as she pretended to look frightened and took a few steps back to avoid the whip that led to her face.

Damnit damnit! Why is this crazy woman targeting my face?! Not like I stole his girlfriend! I didn't even offend you okay?!

Li Qing Xia saw Li Qing Yu dodging her lashings and her brain was getting smoldering, "Who allowed you to avoid my whip?! You trash!"

Li Qing Yu, "..."

Excuse me? You mean I should stand still and willingly let others whip me at will?

I'm sorry, my brain is still in place. You're looking for the wrong person to vent your unreasonable anger. Please go look for an insane person who is willing to be whipped by you with pleasure...

"How dare you avoid again?! I'm gonna rip your fucking face off! Cut you into three thousand pieces and throw your corpse to be used as food for wild beasts!"

Li Qing Xia's attacks became increasingly fierce and Li Qing Yu couldn't possibly avoid them by chance reasons anymore if she didn't want to allow herself to be exposed in front of Li Qing Xia. The whip tail that flew in a mess ended up tearing at Li Qing Yu's arm.

Fresh blood immediately stained Li Qing Yu's clean sleeves.

That bastard! This ancestor wants to kill!!!

The commotion caused by Li Qing Xia was too big that it might annoy some guests. The person who originally had a fight with Li Qing Xia might have already left and did not care about the mess that Li Qing Xia had caused. In essence, no one had come to the aid of Li Qing Yu who knew nothing and was innocent.

Just when Li Qing Yu was about to decide to pretend to faint, a black shadow flew before her and fended off Li Qing Xia's attack for her.

The tail of the whip flew back and injured Li Qing Xia's face.

Li Qing Yu laughed contentedly in her heart and praised the figure who returned the ferocious attack to her own master.
