“So, that’s how it is!” Tang Ye nodded. Now, he finally understood what it meant when others said there was great shade beneath huge trees. “You’ve comprehended Sword Intent, so you’ll be able to develop even better by staying in the Sword Sect. As for what happened that day, I guarantee that it’ll absolutely not occur in the future. Alright?” Su Qingshi was still slightly unwilling to give up. Tang Ye was already the most monstrous geniuses she’d laid eyes on before he’d comprehended Sword Intent, and not that he’d comprehended Sword Intent, he could be considered a genius even amongst all the members of the younger generation in the southern territory. She truly didn’t wish for Tang Ye to turn to another power in the future. When he heard Su Qingshi trying to persuade him to join the Sword Sect again, Tang Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he said, “Qingshi, the Sword Sect is a large sect. Even if it doesn’t have me, Tang Ye, it’s still a large sect. You truly don’t have to do all of this!” Su Qingshi sighed in her heart, and then she turned around and walked towards the door. Some things were impossible to turn around no matter how hard she tried. “Qingshi!” Tang Ye stopped Su Qingshi. Su Qingshi stopped, and then she turned around and looked at Tang Ye. Tang Ye walked over to Su Qingshi and said, “Even though I’m not a disciple of the Sword Sect, I’ll still participate in the Ascension Rankings!” “Why?” Su Qingshi was puzzled. Tang Ye said in a serious manner, “The Sword Sect abandoned me, but you never have. If it wasn’t for you, I, Tang Ye, would have perished at the hands of the Flower Palace on that day in Southpeace City. In my opinion, you are you, and the Sword Sect is the Sword Sect. I’m participating in the Ascension Rankings for you and not for the Sword Sect.” Su Qingshi went silent for a long time before she said, “If you really want to help me, then return to the Sword Sect, alright?”Tang Ye shook his head and said, “You have things you persist on, and so do I. Moreover, there’s no need for you to wrong yourself for the Sword Sect’s sake. If a sect intends to become strong, then it really can’t do without the hard work of the sect’s members, but it absolutely isn’t something that can be accomplished by relying on the hard work of a single person.” A trace of a bitter expression arose on Su Qingshi’s delicate face, and she said, “How could I not understand this principle? But I have to work hard. You’ve said in the past that my status in the Sword Sect isn’t low. Indeed, my status isn’t low at all. Because I’m the daughter of the Sword Sect’s Master.” Tang Ye was shocked, he’d originally thought that Su Qingshi was at most an elder or the daughter of an elder that held great authority. Never had he imagined that Su Qingshi would actually be the Sect Master’s daughter because this identity wasn’t inferior to the identity of Princess of the Grand Qin Empire! Su Qingshi stared Tang Ye in the eye and said, “You said that I should give you a chance to pursue me after you ascend into the top five of the Ascension Rankings. But do you know that if you want to be together with me, then it isn’t something that can be accomplished by merely obtaining a position in the top five of the Ascension Rankings? So, you don’t have to participate in the Ascension Rankings!” Tang Ye roared with laughter while a strand of Sword Intent was emanated from his body. He said, “Qingshi, are you trying to make me retreat in the face of difficulties? Then you’re wrong. I admit that I was shocked by your identity. But so what about it? Would I, Tang Ye, be fearful or feel inferior because of your identity? No! Your identity will only make me work even harder!” As she sensed the fierce and sharp Sword Intent that Tang Ye emanated, Su Qingshi was visibly moved. After a long time, she sighed in a low voice and said, “I kind of understand why you were able to comprehend Sword Intent now!” Tang Ye restrained his smile, and he gazed at Su Qingshi as he said seriously, “Qing Shi, I admit that my current strength is weak, and it’s below the standards you’ve set. But so long as you’re willing to give me time, then I’ll work hard. I’ll work hard to possess a strength that you’ll take seriously.” In the past, Tang Ye didn’t understand what love was, and he didn’t know if what he felt for Su Qingshi in the past was love. However, he was extremely clearly aware of his feelings towards Su Qingshi now, and it wasn’t a form of desire to possess her, and he really had feelings for this woman who stood before him.Since he had feelings for her, then he intended to fearlessly speak his mind. As for the gap between their status and strength, would a man that had ambition and was willing to work hard have to care about these two things? He, Tang Ye, wasn’t born with the fate to be a noble, but so what about that? Were all nobles and people of authority born like that? All those years ago, the Grand Qin Empire’s Founding Emperor was able to build an empire from nothing. All those years ago, the founding ancestor of the Sword Sect reigned invincible throughout the world. So, why couldn’t he, Tang Ye, do the same? He’s never felt that he was unworthy of Su Qingshi! When she heard him and noticed the extremely firm expression in his eyes, a type of strange feeling flashed in Su Qingshi’s heart. She suppressed that feeling. After a long time, she turned around and said, “I’ll wait and see!” As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards the door. When she arrived at the door, she stopped once more and said, “According to rumor, there’s a genius in the Origin School called Yuan Ye, and he was able to kill an expert at the King Realm while at the first rank of the First Heaven Realm. Moreover, he’s only ranked at the 14th of the Outer Court Rankings in the Origin School.” Su Qingshi didn’t stay any longer once she finished speaking, and she vanished behind the door. He killed a King Realm expert at the First Heaven Realm! Tang Ye was stunned, and then he laughed coldly and said, “So what? Why would I, Tang Ye, fear him?”
