People were perplexed as to why the Li family hadn't arrived.
A flying chariot pulled by a nine-headed, purple-winged, golden lion fell gently in the direction of the outside of the imperial ruins.
"Humph!" snorted Fairy Ming. "attempt to be lofty and aloof. This bitch is quite good at knowing when to show up."
People began speculating about the feud between goddess Jiang and fairy Ming as the Jiang family ship landed.
The waiter inside placed the platter away and added, "Last time fairy Ming fought with goddess Jiang, it was a huge sensation; fairy Ming even used an extremely powerful weapon, but she still lost." According to legend, the combat involved emperor-level art from both sides, and the arena was devastated.
The next table over was occupied by a tall, thin man with a thick moustache, who snorted:
"Humph! As you were present at the time, you are speaking from personal experience.
The waiter remarked, "I am just reviving the memory," as he turned to face the man."Sir, you must be from outside the Qinglong Continent," he continued, "and let me tell you that this battle was known as the battle of beauties, and as you know, they are first and second on the Qinglong beauty list."
"First and second?" After hearing this, the man appeared to be really irritated, and he inquired:
"What about other people—those who are higher on the list—and fairy Qi Hua from the Phoenix Mountain?"
The perplexed waiter said, "Sir, there is no such person or place as a fairy, Qi Hua, or Phoenix Mountain."
When he heard this, the man became enraged and yelled, "Get lost; you don't even know Phoenix Mountain; what beauty list is all fake; I don't believe it!"
The man's yell alarmed the waiter, who then tried to comfort him by saying, "Sir, even if you are infatuated by that person named Qi Hua, there is no such person in the top 10 list of beauties; maybe she is fake and tricked you."
Qi Hua, who was pretending to be a guy, had fire spitting out of her nose, and her eyes had turned crimson with rage. She was about to collapse when, just as she prepared to retaliate against the waiter for his crude remarks, a soft force scooped her up and vanished, leaving no trace behind.
The waiter was frightened by this sudden act.
At that moment, a massive, majestic chariot bearing the flying flag of the Imperial Li family came out of the sky amid a loud dragon's scream.
"Fourth captain of the royal army, Zhu An has seen all the princes and immortal elders," a majestic middle-aged man with a great holy realm greeted them as the chariot touched down on the platform.
People nearby were stunned and perplexed. "If you're an immortal elder, doesn't that imply that the visitor is very near the realm of the quasi-emperor?"
But isn't that a breach of the agreement? However, no one ventured to ask a query.
The immortal elder of the Imperial Li family was also received by members of the other Imperial clans and holy lands.
Others, like Li Changsheng, also extended greetings. The immortal elder Li Si then instructed them to wait in the Li family building until the list's ultimate ranking was announced.
"Fifth prince, now that there is still time for the ranking list, you should also meet the people from the Ye family." "I will inform Ye Qinhua to bring the Ye family goddess here," he added, before turning to leave without waiting for Li Changsheng's response.
Li Changsheng nodded before directing the three Hua sisters to set up a meeting location with the Ye family.
The other prince gave him an odd look.His second brother even made fun of him, saying, "I asked why the fifth brother is looking so magnificent today, so that's the issue; father has arranged a meeting with Ye's goddess."
"Second brother, you don't have to tease me if you like that Ye Family girl; you can meet her at my place," Li Changsheng retorted.
Uncomfortably laughing, the second prince remarked, "How can we cultivators care about men and women?"
Then he regretted having said it and apologised in a remorseful tone, "I am sorry, fifth brother, I didn't mean it."
"It's nothing now that I can practise Qi; even if I can't, I don't mind it at all," Li Changsheng responded with a small smile.
The second prince replied, "Really, that's excellent; okay, now you should get ready to see that girl." We will go to see if there's any good talent suited to being our follower.
"Where's that little kitten you didn't bring her?" Li Changsheng inquired as he waited in the hallway with his supporters standing behind him.
"We have left her to that old Jiao beside the lake," the third Hua sister stated.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the hallway."I have seen your royal highness," the soldier from the imperial army said as he entered the room and met Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng gave a small nod before inquiring, "What's the matter outside?"
"Your Highness, there is a person outside who wants to meet you," the soldier replied modestly.
"Oh! Identify him. Li Changheng enquired.
The soldier responded, "I have checked the token in his hand; it's real," after saying, "He said that he is Lin Tian from the Changsheng Lin family."
"Bring him in," Li Changsheng commanded.
"I have never left the palace in my life; I have no connection to the Lin family, and he wants to meet me; is he related to her?" Li Changsheng was thinking as the soldier departed.
A person with a dashing appearance and a noble demeanour entered while he was contemplating.
Lin Tian entered the room, his eyes widening in shock as they scanned the person seated on the chair.
"Isn't he contaminated by that strange black qi? Why didn't anything happen to him? This person looks so healthy and majestic, even though there is no inner qi in his body," he wondered as his mind went blank.In his past life, Lin Tian was responsible for Li Changsheng's murder. How could he be unaware of Li Changsheng's precise circumstances?
However, Lin Tian was perplexed by Li Changsheng's appearance and questioned what had transpired. Why have things seemed different since the last life?
