People in the Imperial Music Bureau: The Storytelling Demon Child Nezha

I'm afraid they didn't come for his poetic talent.

Li Qiye found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't expose it. Why would he help expose someone else?

Of course, their arrival also surprised Wei Yuan and Jin Luo.

This is a great Confucian scholar from Yunlu Academy. What is the night watchman doing here?

"What brings you two to my watchman's place?"

The realm of a fourth-rank gentleman is not to be underestimated...

Li Mubai said, "Lord Wei, Mr. Qiye was the teacher of the students of Yunlu Academy who saw them off upon graduation. Zhu Chengzhu's death is not a pity. I wonder if you could give Yunlu Academy some face?"

Knowing it was just an excuse, Wei Yuan wanted to give him face, but Zhu Yang hadn't arrived yet.

However, that's what Wei Yuangang thought.

"Chengzhu!"

"Son!"

A golden light shot in from outside, moving at an extremely fast speed, like a golden bolt of lightning.

Jin Guang arrived at Zhu Chengzhu's corpse.

He was a burly warrior, his entire body exuding a powerful and fierce aura.

The rolling tremors seemed to be telling everyone that he was a fourth-rank martial artist.

Li Qiye knew who it was just by the slightest movement of his eyes.

Jinluo, Zhuyang!

Zhu Yang bent down to check and found that his son was not only dead, but his internal organs were also burned.

"Li Qiye!"

Zhu Yang spat out Li Qiye's name through gritted teeth and looked at Li Qiye.

"boom!"

The aura of a fourth-rank martial artist was fully released, enveloping Li Qiye!

The gong nearly collapsed under this terrifying aura.

That murderous aura, that killing intent, clearly showed that he had been on the battlefield for a long time!

However, Li Qiye's expression remained unchanged.

"Give back my son's life!"

Zhu Yang roared and charged at Li Qiye.

The power of this punch was terrifying; the force of the punch stirred up the loose stones beneath its feet.

However, Li Qiye was not afraid at all and met the punch with one punch.

"boom!"

The two fists collided with a loud bang, and the terrifying force of the fists shook out, overturning the gong.

Zhu Yang's fist throbbed with pain.

He was shocked by Li Qiye's strength—a fourth-rank martial artist!

This punch enraged Wei Yuan.

"stop!"

"The Righteous Spirit Tower must not be a place for violence and ruthlessness!"

Zhu Yang immediately knelt down and said, "Lord Wei, I was angry for a moment. Li Qiye killed my son. I beg Lord Wei to do justice for me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan simply said, "I cannot make that decision. Your son has done many things, and his death is not a pity. Moreover, Li Qiye is a teacher at Yunlu Academy."

Zhu Yang was furious upon hearing this. "Lord Wei, if you are unwilling, I will go to the palace to see His Majesty and ask him to make a decision!"

Wei Yuan waved his hand, "Go."

Even His Majesty was quite troubled when he learned that Yunlu Academy was behind Li Qiye.

Zhu Yang was furious and immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Li Qiye didn't care at all. The two Confucian scholars said, "Don't worry, we'll plead for you later."

Li Qiye didn't care; he just waited at the night watchman's office.

After Zhu Yang attacked the Emperor, he was dumbfounded.

On Emperor Yuanjing's side, Huaiqing pleaded for mercy in Lin'an.

Even the Director of the Imperial Observatory sent Chu Caiwei on his behalf regarding this matter.

He signaled to Emperor Yuanjing to release Li Qiye.

Zhu Yang was furious.

"Your Majesty, he, a mere commoner, killed my son, Yinluo."

“This is a serious crime. If he dares to kill Yinluo today, he will dare to kill Jinluo tomorrow. He has no respect for the law and should be severely punished.”

Some civil officials also spoke up for Zhu Yang, indicating that Li Qiye should be severely punished.

Emperor Yuanjing glanced at them and snorted coldly.

"Even the Imperial Observatory has come to plead for mercy, how can I issue an edict?!"

"Zhu Yang, let this matter rest. If you insist on revenge, I will grant you permission to use the Life and Death Arena!"

The Arena of Life and Death!

Wow!

The civil official and the military officer were astonished.

The Life and Death Platform hasn't produced a 0.4 in many years.

This "life and death platform" is similar to a death contract.

Sign the papers and go on stage, regardless of life or death, settle grievances and revenge!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yang's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yuanjing smiled as he watched Zhu Yang's retreating figure.

There was a good show to watch.

As emperor, he enjoyed watching good shows; otherwise, life was too boring.

Zhu Yang returned to the night watchman's office and immediately issued a challenge to Li Qiye.

"Li Qiye, do you dare?"

Li Qiye chuckled and asked.

"when?"

Zhu Yang said, "Now!"

Li Qiye waved his hand, "Not now, tomorrow at noon."

"I need to go to the Jiaofangsi later. There are still some stories about the Demon Child Nezha that I haven't finished telling tomorrow morning."

Li Qiye planned to go to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue) later to inform everyone that the storytelling time for tomorrow would be changed to the morning.

Zhu Yang was furious upon hearing this.

"You're about to die and you still want to tell stories? You're not thinking of running away, are you?"

Li Qiye chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't run away. I won't be like your son, begging for mercy at the end."

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit," Zhu Yang roared in anger.

"you!"

"Tomorrow at noon, I will avenge my son."

Li Qiye ignored him and headed towards the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue).

By the time he arrived at the brothel, night had fallen and the moon was high in the sky.

It was still packed with people, and as soon as they arrived, someone exclaimed with delight.

"Mr. Seven Nights!"

Li Qiye walked onto the stands.

"Gentlemen, there are some things I won't be telling stories about today."

Someone hurriedly asked, "Mr. Qiye, I heard that you will be fighting to the death with Jinluo Zhuyang on the life-or-death stage tomorrow?"

Li Qiye nodded. "Not bad."

"The story of Nezha?"

Li Qiye laughed and said, "I will tell you all the story of the demon child Nezha first thing in the morning before the competition at noon tomorrow!"

"If you all wish to hear Nezha from that night, I will sing another song of Nezha tomorrow, for the seventh night!"

Chapter Forty-Nine: Havoc in Heaven, Demon Child Makes Havoc in the Sea, Immortal Martial Arts in the Snow!

Chapter Forty-Nine: Havoc in Heaven, Demon Child Makes Havoc in the Sea, Immortal Martial Arts in the Snow!

Li Qiye's shout caused a stir among the wealthy gentry and listeners of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district).

They were thrilled.

"Is what Mr. Qiye said true?!"

Li Qiye smiled and replied to the person who asked, "Of course it's true."

The scholars were all excited upon hearing this, and that night Li Qiye proclaimed that he was originally unparalleled in this world...

It amazed everyone!

"That night, every song and melody was breathtaking; to have heard the whole thing would be an incredible honor."

"Yes, that song was indeed about Nezha. Mr. Qiye is truly a man of both literary and martial talents, which I cannot match."

"Mr. Qiye, we will definitely come to support you tomorrow morning!"

"Me too, I'll definitely come."

Li Qiye laughed heartily and clasped his hands in greeting, "Then Li Qiye will look forward to your presence."

After saying that, Li Qiye walked down from the stands.

All the guests stared at him.

After Li Qiye stepped down from the stands, he went to see Lady Zhu.

As soon as Lady Zhu saw Li Qiye, she rushed over to him.

Soft, supple, fragrant, and perky!

This was Li Qiye's feeling in that instant.

"Little Qiye, you worried me to death today!"

The beauty questioned him, and Li Qiye felt pity for her.

Li Qiye gently caressed the alluring beauty.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Lady Zhu raised her beautiful eyes, which were filled with worry.

"Are you sure you can do it tomorrow? If not, I'll send you out of the city."

Li Qiye laughed heartily, "Hahaha, don't worry, beauty, I'm more than confident."

Seeing that Li Qiye was not flustered at all, and even had the mind to play with her, Lady Zhu couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

"You still have the mind to mess with me at a time like this!"
