Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Nominated? [41st Update] Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Nominated? [41st Update] This was precisely the cause of Li Chengfeng’s perplexity. If one was not an inspector, it was basically impossible to have any connection with the other party. Although the Xuan Country’s Departnt One and Ling Tian seemingly had no connection, which basically ruled out the possibility of acting on Ling Tian’s behalf, the unfathomable reason still left Li Chengfeng feeling sowhat uneasy.
Lu Ting smiled and said, “Patriarch Li, our visit today is on behalf of the Military Governor’s personal instructions. He ordered us to deliver an invitation to you.”
“An invitation?” What was this about? Two invitations in one day? Even for Li Chengfeng, his mind felt sowhat muddled at this mont.
Lu Ting gave Wang Xiaorou a look, and she took an invitation from her bosom, placed it on the round table, gently pushing it forward, and said, “The nomination ceremony for the inspector is half a month away. Departnt One formally invites the Li Family of Xuan Country and hopes that Patriarch Li can take so ti out of your busy schedule to attend.”
Li Chengfeng did not speak. He took the invitation and scrutinized it, confirming that his na, Li Chengfeng, was indeed written in large characters on it. Only then did that sense of unreality within him ebb into sothing slightly more tangible.
“This…” Li Chengfeng did not understand. Even if he wasn’t particularly familiar with this nomination ceremony for inspectors, he knew that all who were nominated as inspectors of Xuan Country were extraordinarily gifted. He, Li Chengfeng, should not be qualified enough to be noticed, right?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Chengfeng could not contain the confusion in his heart, and asked, “Director Lu, Director Wang, I am soone who is straightforward and asks whatever is on my mind. This nomination ceremony for Xuan Country’s inspector does not seem to have much to do with . Why invite ? Could it be that I am also nominated?”
...
“Pfft~” Wang Xiaorou covered her mouth and giggled lightly. Lu Ting glared at her, then turned to Li Chengfeng and said, “Director Li, I apologize, but there are so matters we can’t divulge just yet. We’re rely following the Military Governor’s orders to deliver the invitation. In any case, you just need to be there. As to why you’ve been invited, you will know when the ti cos.”
Seeing that they were unwilling to elaborate, Li Chengfeng did not press them and nodded, saying, “All right, I understand. I will attend. It’s quite a bother for the two of you to make this trip.”
“Arrange accommodations for our two honored guests and prepare a midday banquet.”
Lu Ting stood up and said, “There’s no need to trouble yourselves, we’re heading back now.”
Li Chengfeng placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “Stay for a while to rest. It wasn’t easy coming all this way, and since you’re here, it’s only right to have a al. Otherwise, if word gets out, what would outsiders think of the Li Family?”
Having heard him say this, Lu Ting could not refuse and accepted with a smile.
The two followed a clan mber to their rooms, while Li Chengfeng, holding the invitation, summoned the Elders.
The invitation was passed around among the Elders, and like Li Chengfeng, they too were completely baffled.
“This?” Li Yiming did not know what to say. Could it be that the Li Family was truly experiencing a change in fortune? To be invited to the nomination ceremony for the inspector of Xuan Country.
Despite the high status of the Eight Great Sects within Xuan Country, they had never qualified to attend the nomination ceremony for Xuan Country’s inspectors in past years.
There were rumors among the higher echelons of Xuan Country that those allowed to attend the nomination ceremony for inspectors had to be at the very least of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Could it be because the Li Family of Xuan Country now had two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables?
If that was the case, then it would be sowhat understandable.
Li Pingshuang stared at the invitation for a long while before putting it down and saying, “There is no precedent to refer to for this kind of matter; we can only speculate.”
Li Yunchen said, “Could it be that Chengfeng was nominated?”
“I don’t think it’s likely,” Li Tinghai shook his head. “When it cos to cultivation, how could there be a shortage of Nascent Soul Realm Venerables in the vast Xuan Country? There are many with a cultivation level stronger than Chengfeng’s, and moreover, Chengfeng has only just broken through. It is unlikely for him to receive a nomination.”
Li Pingshuang also said, “Indeed. Although I have never attended the nomination ceremony for Xuan Country’s inspectors, according to the regulations and procedures, if Chengfeng really was nominated, Departnt One would have surely inford us several months in advance, rather than just sending an invitation like this. This does not align with the military’s strict attitude.”
Li Chengfeng waved his hand and smiled, “Let’s not worry about all that now. Being able to participate in the Xuan Country Military Inspector Nomination Ceremony is a blessed event for our Li Family. It shows that the country has started to take notice of us. At the very least, among the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, just this alone is enough for us to look down upon the other seven sects.”
The others, upon hearing this, all nodded in agreent.
…
On the third day after the three entered the forbidden area, Li Fenghua was the first to co out.
On the fourth day, Li Longxiang also erged.
But there was no sign of Li Xiaoyao coming out.
Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming had been at the Ancient Li Family for four days, and to their surprise, the attitude of everyone from top to bottom was exceptionally good compared to the norm.
This truly made them both feel flattered.
They had thought that the Ancient Li Family would be exceedingly arrogant and disdainful towards them, but it seed they had been petty in their assumptions.
“That youngster Peng Cheng is really working hard,” they comnted.
In the courtyard, Li Chengfeng, Li Yiming, and Li Chaotian sat around a stone table drinking wine, and during their four days there, they hadn’t seen Li Pengcheng.
According to Li Chaotian, ever since the end of the clan competition, Li Pengcheng had been holed up in the mirror training ground and the gravity training ground without leaving.
This kind of mad dedication to cultivation comforted Li Chengfeng.
“That boy must have been stimulated,” Li Chaotian said with a smile.
“A bit of stimulation is good for him. That kid has been prideful and arrogant since he was young, and I’ve always been worried about him. It’s good for the young to suffer setbacks early on and learn to settle down; that will do him no harm.”
“As for Xiaoyao, the child is stable in the face of trouble, but the way he handles things is sowhat immature. That constant fighting and killing, that’s not always good.”
Li Chaotian shook his head and sighed, “You still don’t understand Xiaoyao well enough. Even though he always seems to be causing trouble, when has he ever co off worse in these situations? In our eyes, he seems impulsive, and his thods may not be accepted by common standards, but in truth, he’s got more sense than anyone.”
“Did you know that before the clan competition, Xiaoyao was provoked by a fellow clan mber in the Secret Realm while he was on the verge of a breakthrough…”
Li Chengfeng interrupted him, “What did you say? He made another breakthrough?”
Li Yiming also widened his eyes in anticipation.
Li Chaotian nodded, “Indeed. This kid breaks through as easily as eating candy. Last ti I saw him in the Hui Country Secret Realm, I rember he was just at the fourth rank of the Golden Core Realm, right? How long has it been since then? He’s already broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, and he even advanced another rank before the clan competition. He’s now at the second rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm. Monster, he’s truly a monster!”
“Second rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm,” the corners of Li Chengfeng’s mouth twitched.
Li Chaotian continued, “That clan mber’s na is Li Yan, a strong contender ranked fourth on the power rankings, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm. He challenged Xiaoyao but ended up having both his arms slashed off with a single sword strike.”
The two were again taken aback, “Arms slashed off!”
