The show was about to begin. As soon as Lu Li and Old Deer walked out of the Qi Family's manor, they were noticed.
Lu Li and Old Deer both noticed, but they didn't mind. This was the Spatial City.
Things might go wrong in other places, but not here.
Lu Li and Old Deer rode the chariot from the north of the city to the center. They were stopped outside the plaza in the middle.
It was a servant. He was not here to make trouble, but to deliver an invitation.
It was a challenge!
The name was clearly written on it. Yuan Family's fourth young master, Heaven Emperor Yuan. It was also written that he was here because of Lu Li's reputation. He admired Lu Li's strength and wanted to learn from him.
This was a standard challenge. It was popular in the Third Heaven as well. Usually, it was an invitation for the younger generation of the major families to compete with each other.
Of course, it could be that some old demons admired some powerful warriors and wanted to improve themselves through battles.
Others wanted to gain fame. After all, if you defeated some famous powerful warriors, you would be famous.
The one who sent the invitation was a young master of a major family nearby. He signed his name, which meant he had a good reason to do so. Any other young master would think twice.
Lu Li crushed the invitation and said, "I will not participate in any challenges. Let him find someone else. I am not famous.
I am only at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation. Your young master is at the fifth tribulation. Isn't this bullying? "
There were many people in the plaza. Lu Li's words caused boos.
Lu Li was a famous person now. He was the guest of honor of the Qi Family and the Xiang Family. This was a position of supreme honor.
In other words, Lu Li was a big shot now. Big shots would want to save face.
It was fine that he refused the challenge. But he said he was at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation. If someone challenged him, it would be bullying …
This was the first time many people had seen such a self-damaging behavior. Others wanted to brag to the world about how powerful and awesome he was.
Lu Li waved his hand and the chariot moved on. The servant paused for a second. He sneered at Lu Li's direction and left.
Lu Li had just moved forward for thousands of feet when the chariot was stopped again. This time, it was by a young master.
That man was wearing a black brocade robe. He had two old servants with him. He looked dignified and had a fan in his hand. He was smiling.
"I am Mo Xiaotian!"
The young master was very polite. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, "My great grandfather is Mo Zhuihun. I wonder if Lord Lu has heard of him?"
Of course, Lu Li had never heard of Mo Zhuihun. He turned to Patriarch Lu who explained, "Mo Zhuihun is an old demon at the Frigid Sea Area. He is a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm, a horrifying one. He is famous at the Frigid Sea Area."
"Oh!"
Lu Li nodded, stood up and said, "Greetings, Young Master Mo. What can I do for you by stopping my chariot?"
"I can't say that I'm teaching you!"
Mo Xiaotian replied politely, "I've heard of Death God Lu's fame, so I came here from Soul Chasing Island to spar with you.
I wonder if the Asura God can fulfill this little wish of mine?
Don't worry, we won't hurt anyone. "
In the last two sentences, Mo Xiaotian's provocation was clear. He was telling Lu Li not to be afraid and that he would not kill him. The provocation was too obvious.
Lu Li was having a headache!
Clearly, these people were not here because of Lu Li's fame. Clearly, they were targeting him. He had no enmity with the young masters at the Frigid Sea Area.
Then the problem was simple. These young masters must be here because of jealousy. They were here for Xiang Linglong.
Today, the Xiang Family invited him to a banquet. These young masters were blocking his way. It was not good for him to accept the challenge or not.
If he didn't, his reputation would be tarnished.
If he did, what if Lu Li couldn't beat them?
That would be even more humiliating …
Face slapping!
The purpose of these young masters was clear. They were here to slap him in the face. Many of them might be sent by Qi Tianyu.
Of course, Xiang Linglong wouldn't fall in love with him if Lu Li was humiliated.
Since ancient times, beauties loved heroes. How could a beauty fall in love with a coward, a good-for-nothing?
Lu Li didn't even ask Old Deer. He figured it out after some thoughts. It seemed that Xiang Linglong staying at his place until midnight last night had shattered many people's fragile hearts.
Lu Li said without hesitation, "Young Master Mo, you've got the wrong person. I am only at the initial stage of the Fourth Tribulation. I am just a small warrior. How can I be famous?
What is there to spar with me?
Do you want Master Lu to play with you? "
This time, Lu Li's voice was loud. Many people nearby heard it. Everyone was in an uproar.
Did Lu Li really not care about his reputation?
It was hard for a man to build up his reputation. Many people worked hard for tens of thousands of years and could only earn a little bit of fame. Lu Li didn't cherish it?
Lu Li really didn't care about that!
What was the use of fame?
Could it be eaten?
Could it bring you any benefits?
Of course, there were benefits. But Lu Li didn't care.
He was firm without desire!
He didn't like Linglong, nor would he pursue her. Therefore, many people thought that he was humiliated and suppressed.
But he didn't care. His reputation would be tarnished and the Xiang Family and Xiang Linglong would look down on him. So what?
Without the support of powerful combat power, a false reputation would only be a burden.
When one's fighting abilities were improved, he could show some moves and kill some powerful warriors. His reputation would be built up. Why would he need to compete with these young masters?
"Eh …"
Mo Xiaotian didn't expect Lu Li to be so cowardly. Asking him to fight with Lu Wenxian?
He wasn't a fool. Not even Qi Tianyu would dare to do that.
Lu Wenxian had reached the peak of the Fifth Tribulation 10,000 years ago.
"Since Young Master Lu has admitted defeat, then I will leave now!"
Mo Xiaotian tried to provoke Lu Li one last time. Seeing that Lu Li didn't respond, Mo Xiaotian had to leave.
Lu Li shook his head and let the chariot move on. However, he was stopped by two young masters again after a few miles.
Again, they were here to ask for a fight. First with words and then with force. If Lu Li said yes, then they would fight outside the city.
Since Lu Li had already said no, he wouldn't waste any more time. He admitted defeat and refused directly.
Lu Li was only several miles away from the tavern where the Xiang Family held the banquet. But he was stopped eight times along the way. Everyone was here to ask for a fight.
In the end, there was a warrior at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation who asked for a fight with Lu Li. Lu Li refused all of them. He said something at the beginning and then said he wouldn't fight anymore …
Xiang Linglong and White Tooth, the most powerful young master of the Xiang Family, stood at the door to greet them. Today, Xiang Linglong was in splendid attire. She was stunning. When Lu Li got off the chariot, she said with embarrassment, "Young Master Lu, I am sorry that you have been wronged because of me."
Someone of the Xiang Family had found out that Lu Li was being challenged and humiliated along the way and told them.
