"Retreating without a fight... that doesn't seem to be my style. Since your Qianli River insists on testing me, I'll be happy to oblige," Li Qiye said with a smile to the Treasure Turtle Daoist.
The Treasure Turtle Daoist was not surprised by Li Qiye's choice. He nodded and said, "Very well. There will be three tests. To be fair, you may choose the subject for one of them."
"Alright. Since I get to pick one, I'll choose the subject for the second test," Li Qiye said readily with a smile.
"Very well. The first test will be on your martial arts. It begins tomorrow. Do you have any objections?" the Treasure Turtle Daoist said.
Li Qiye shrugged. "I'm ready whenever."
"Then go back and prepare. Tomorrow, my Qianli River will send a disciple to challenge you. You should be mentally prepared. Don't underestimate your opponent." The Treasure Turtle Daoist was being friendly, offering Li Qiye a special reminder.
