"Zhizhun, stay a moment; the rest of you may return," Li Shiqing spoke, as everyone else was dismissed.
The crowd was somewhat surprised by Li Shiqing's decision to keep Li Zhizhun, though he was also in the later stages of Qi Cultivation, he was rather ordinary apart from some talent in brewing Spiritual Wine.
Only Li Shiren and Li Shilian knew the reason why Li Shiqing asked him to stay.
When only the two of them were left in the main hall, Li Shiqing scrutinized Li Zhizhun for the first time with serious attention, causing the latter, who was initially clueless, to grow tense all of a sudden.
"There's no need to be so tense, sit," Li Shiqing gestured with his hand and asked, "Do you know why I have chosen to speak with you alone?"
"I do not," Li Zhizhun shook his head honestly.
Li Shiqing did not beat around the bush, but told him straightforwardly, "Shilian and Shiren have both recommended you to me, believing you are capable of assuming the role of Clan Leader."
