Li Xiaoyao didn't feel as excited as one might imagine, and Li Zhan was taken aback by his composure.
Anyone with even a slight understanding of the heir to the Li Family would know what that position represented in the Ancient Li Family.
"May I ask Patriarch Li, what does it require of me to become the heir to the Li Family?" There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Whatever you gain, you must pay for. Even the nine former heirs of the Li Family had received preferential access to the family's resources, but what they had paid in return remained unknown to all.
Outsiders only see your glamorous appearance; they never care about the effort and price you've paid for that glory.
Li Zhan frowned slightly: "Pay?"
The usually reticent Grand Elder, now looking serious, gazed at Li Xiaoyao and said, "No payment is required. The heir to the Li Family will be a genius cultivated with the full support of our entire clan."
