"I refuse."

Luo Pin shook her head resolutely.

Of course she could not possibly leave with Li Tianji. This had nothing to do with Li Tianji, but that she had already given herself to Wu Yu in this life. No one could take Wu Yu's place in her heart now.

And her direct refusal shamed Li Tianji.

His face turned dark, and only now did he spot how intimately the two were positioned. He seemed to realize it.

And now Li Tianji looked at Wu Yu with jealousy and hatred.

"How could such filth deserve such a beauty?"

He thought resentfully.

Just at this time, a few seniors had come over to investigate the fuss.

Among them were Lotus Prince Nezha, Pagoda Heavenly King, and the Patriarch Bodhi. One look, and they roughly understood what had happened.

"Brat, get your ass over here!"

Nezha, on his wheels of fire, was extremely disapproving. To himself he was thinking: the kid's usual petulance could be overlooked, but how could he not respect the Patriarch Bodhi here?

Li Tianji might be completely fearless before Wu Yu and the others, but he was still a little scared of Nezha, and quickly flew to his side.

After Pagoda Heavenly King had gotten the details, he laughed it off. "Small matter. The young ones were just exchanging skills. Some boisterous play. Glad it was nothing serious."

All along, Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing had been very doting of his son. He treated him like a little emperor in the Li house, and not even Nezha could do anything about him.

When Li Jing was not around, Nezha could still reprimand Li Tianji, but when he was, Nezha could not even get a word in.

Hearing that Li Jing was on his side, Li Tianji immediately went over to Pagoda Heavenly King's side instead. He knew that his grandfather doted on him. Whenever he caused trouble, it was always Li Jing who smoothed things over for him.

Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy also followed Li Tianji, hiding behind their seniors' backs.

Because of their relationship with Li Tianji, Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing was quite fond of Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy as well, hoping that one of the two could be his granddaughter-in-law.

Patriarch Bodhi first checked Memory Star Immortal Emperor's wounds. He performed some techniques to stabilize his condition.

His wounds were even more serious than when he had faced Wu Yu. If not for Complete Fall Immortal Emperor's intervention, Memory Star Immortal Emperor might truly be dead. However, with the Patriarch Bodhi's miraculous skill, he could be easily healed.

The Patriarch Bodhi looked at Li Tianji neutrally, saying nothing.

He seemed not bothered about pursuing the matter. No matter how deplorable Li Tianji was, he should be left up to his family to deal with. And how they taught him was nothing to do with the Patriarch Bodhi.

In truth, no one really knew what the Patriarch Bodhi was thinking behind his amiable demeanor.

Perhaps he didn't care at all.

Perhaps he had already thought of a good way to deal with all this.

In any case, it was not something that Wu Yu could control.

Now that all of his powerful family stood with him, Li Tianji's eyes still remained on Luo Pin. The powerful and blatant lust made both Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy unhappy.

"Grandfather, I want to know who that girl is."

Li Tianji said to Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing, jerking his head at Luo Pin. Given how much Li Jing doted on him, he could make any ridiculous request he wished.

"She?"

Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing had never seen Luo Pin before. He had no relations with the mystical dragon tribe, and so asked Luo Pin: "Girl, what is your name?"

Li Jing was clad in full armor. He asked the question with a rather casual tone.

He had guessed at Li Tianji's feelings for her, and was inclined to behave kindly towards her for now.

"This junior is called Luo Pin. I am from the mystical dragon tribe. My respects to the heavenly king."

Addressed thus by a senior, Luo Pin could only answer in a proper fashion. Besides, such information was easily gotten, and there was no need to hide it and incur their anger.

"Luo Pin, mystical dragon tribe."

Li Jing repeated.

Li Tianji was very excited. He finally knew her name now, and he repeated it excitedly: "Luo Pin. Luo Pin. What a nice name! Grandfather, I want to marry her. Can I?"

This was a huge shock to Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy. They had not expected this sudden escalation.

Through their tens of thousands of years of cultivation, they had chased Li Tianji, and he had never shown any sign of his affection towards them. And now he was proposing marriage to Luo Pin, whom he had just met.

They were simply furious!

This made them even more jealous of Luo Pin. They loathed her intensely and wished she would drop dead.

Based on what they knew of Li Jing, they knew that he would do anything to grant Li Tianji's wish. This would probably be no exception. Which meant that the two were being made fools of, and Li Tianji would be someone else's?

They were especially unhappy at how unenthusiastic Luo Pin seemed about it all. Inwardly, they cursed her for not knowing what a good catch she had found. How could she not see what a treasure Li Tianji was, and remain by Wu Yu's side? She must be sick in the brain.

It turned out exactly as Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy had predicted.

Pagoda Heavenly King immediately agreed to Li Tianji's proposal plea. "Good, good! When we return, grandfather will go to the mystical dragon tribe and seek her hand immediately. I believe the mystical dragon tribe will not reject this proposal. Haha!"

Li Jing was very happy as well, because Li Tianji was finally expressing interest in a girl. It was a good sign.

Both Luo Pin and Wu Yu found this incredulous.

This Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing and his grandson Li Tianji - were they supposed to be certified supreme grade or something? Even before the situation had been clarified, they had already selfishly decided to propose marriage. Was this how matters were conducted in the sky palaces by the elite immortal emperors?

Indeed, it seemed like no one would refuse them anything, given their position.

Luo Pin was at a loss on how to reply, but the Patriarch Bodhi already spoke, smiling. "Heavenly King Li, don't celebrate too early. The lass is already married to my humble disciple Wu Yu. I'm afraid she cannot be your granddaughter-in-law."

"Oh, that's how it is?"

Pagoda Heavenly King started, and then gave an easy smile. "Let's leave that aside for now, then."

His doting on Li Tianji had reached an extreme. Anything that Li Tianji wanted, he would get for him. Of course, it included women.

He had seen how infatuated Li Tianji was with Luo Pin, and so he had not closed the topic fully yet.

After all, marriage between immortals was just like that.

If Wu Yu died, then the marriage would be nullified, right?

At that time, if Li Tianji still fancied her, he could naturally take her back to the Li family.

Of course, the caveat here was that Wu Yu had to die. Otherwise, not even Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing would dare to snatch the wife of the Patriarch Bodhi's disciple.

Which made the topic of the Immortal Emperor Trials even more sensitive now.

Since Wu Yu was to join the Immortal Emperor Trials, then it was possible that he would die during it. That was what Li Jing hoped for.

Memory Star Immortal Emperor's wounds were largely under control now, and he would recover quickly.

The fluff sprites that Li Tianji and the others caught were released back to Oasis of Clouds by the elders as well, and the matter was considered closed.

However, the disciples of the Patriarch Bodhi, including Complete Fall Immortal Emperor, Complete Zen Immortal Emperor, Memory Space Immortal Emperor and many others, all nursed a grudge against Li Tianji. How dare he disdain Mettle Sky and all of them?!

Even if the Patriarch Bodhi did not intend to pursue the matter, they would not let it go.

On their way back, Memory Space Immortal Emperor sought out Wu Yu. "Wu Yu, I'm begging you! If you meet that Li Tianji during the Immortal Emperor Trials, give him a good beating! Let him know that Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars is nothing to be messed with!" He said in a rare outburst.

"Senior brother, leave it to me."

Wu Yu nodded solemnly.

Even without Memory Space Immortal Emperor's request, he would definitely take Li Tianji very serious if he met him during the Immortal Emperor Trials. It was best if he could teach him a lesson.

This Li Tianji was simply living in the shelter of his eminent forebears. With Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li protecting him, he dared to do anything.

Killing Mo Liyin had sentenced Wu Yu to 10,000 years on the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. Back when Li Tianji had killed an immortal emperor, he had only been put into seclusion for 10,000 years.

One was the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, to be gnawed at by heavenly devils. The other was simply seclusion. Although the time span had been the same, but the weight of their punishments was completely different.

If such a guy could not be put into his place, he would truly think himself king of the world.

Besides, he had dared to pester Luo Pin, which was something Wu Yu would not tolerate.

Wu Yu could not wait for the Immortal Emperor Trials to arrive.

Memory Space Immortal Emperor spoke in terse tones to Wu Yu, but it was still overheard by Li Tianji, who laughed long and loud.

Li Tianji bragged: "Some people really don't know what's up in the world. They think their paltry talents really makes them something. Such people will never go far in the Immortal Emperor Trials. If I, Li Tianji meet someone like that, I will definitely let them know what true talent is!"

He did not name names, but clearly was talking about Wu Yu.

Wu Yu replied simply: "I hope that some people get far within the Immortal Emperor Trials, it would be a shame for the braggarts to be eliminated early and become a laughing stock."

Li Tianji also knew that Wu Yu was talking about him, and flew into a rage. However, he managed to curb himself this time. "Some might puff their chest now, but during the Immortal Emperor Trials, they'll probably get the shit beaten out of them."

The two had not mentioned names at all, and the elders did not comment.

However, the Patriarch Bodhi's disciples were appalled. This Li Tianji was too much!
