Linglong was a cold beauty while White Tusk was a well-mannered gentleman. At least, that was Lu Li's first impression.
White Tusk was not like Qi Tianyu who showed off his abilities, nor was he arrogant like the other top-level young masters.
As the most important young master of the Xiang Family, White Tusk didn't give Lu Li the slightest sense of arrogance. He was modest but he wouldn't let others look down on him. He was well-mannered and knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Five patriarchs of the Xiang Family came and one of them was a patriarch with real power. The Xiang Family also sent Lu Li a generous gift. There were hundreds of millions of divine stones, piles of materials and a piece of Emperor Weapon.
Admittedly, the Xiang Family was very particular. Maybe, there was another meaning — the Xiang Family had repaid Lu Li's kindness and they hoped that Lu Li would leave the pearl of the Xiang Family alone.
White Tusk didn't say it explicitly but there was an underlying meaning in his words, which made Xiang Linglong angry. That being said, it was inappropriate for her to say too much on this occasion.
"Young Master White Tusk, Lord Xiang!"
Lu Li picked up a goblet of wine with a smile and said, "Truth be told, if it weren't for the fact that you wanted to come, I would be at the Zi Yang Land by now. Maybe I wouldn't come to the Third Heaven for hundreds of years. So … ha, ha."
Xiang Linglong's expressions changed. She thought about it and said, "God of Massacre, you don't have to do this …"
"My home is in a universe of the Second Heaven!"
Lu Li explained with a smile, "I have been out for a long time. I want to go back and cultivate for a while."
"I see!"
White Tusk nodded and said, "Young Master Lu, go back and cultivate. If you ever go to the Third Heaven, you are welcome to visit the Xiang Family at any time."
Now that Lu Li had made his point, the atmosphere of the banquet became more intense. Xiang Linglong toasted Lu Li and sent a message to him, "Young Master Lu, I didn't tell anyone that you are a Seven Trials Evil Spirit. I didn't even tell my family. I hope you won't tell anyone about me."
"Don't worry!"
Lu Li replied, "I will not tell anyone about this. This is a secret between us!"
As soon as he finished his words, Lu Li felt something was off.
Xiang Linglong's cheeks blushed as well. She glared at Lu Li.
Xiang Baiya and the others saw all of this, and they grew even more wary. Their Xiang Clan's pearl had better not be taken by this wild lad.
The banquet lasted until the afternoon. Lu Li said his goodbyes and left, while Ivory Ivory quietly sent out a message.
Xiang Linglong and Death God Lu were just ordinary friends. She told outsiders not to spread any rumors, or the Xiang family would definitely pursue the matter.
White Fang had sent a messenger to clear Xiang Linglong's name. The rumors that had spread earlier had damaged Xiang Linglong's reputation.
Xiang Family's pearl. In fact, the Xiang Family very much wants to form a marriage alliance with the Qi Family. Marrying Xiang Linglong to Qi Tianyu is a good thing for the Xiang Family's Linglong.
Qi Tianyu never showed up. Lu Li was a bit relieved and so were the Qi Family warriors.
It seemed that Qi Tianyu was not that stupid after all. His temperament had improved.
After Lu Li went back, he asked Lu Wenxian to find Qi Dingdong and ask him when the Interspatial Portal could be opened to teleport to the Zi Yang Land.
Qi Dingdong went to make the arrangements and came back soon. In 10 days, the Interspatial Portal could be opened and teleported to the Zi Yang Land directly. The destination was still near the Ice Valley where Lu Li first ascended.
Lu Li was relieved. Even though he had some enemies in the Frozen Valley, it was not a problem for him to deal with them with his current strength.
Lu Li waited patiently. The city was safe. Nobody dared to lay a finger on him as long as he didn't go out.
He had admitted defeat. Who dared to use force in the city?
It was rare for so many young masters and young ladies to gather in the city. The city was quite lively.
Many young masters and young ladies took turns to invite Lu Li. It was a rare opportunity for young masters and young ladies of the Frigid Sea Area to have a stage to socialize.
Later on, many people invited Lu Li to banquets but he didn't go even once.
What to do there?
Let a group of people take turns to humiliate him?
He had tasted all the delicacies in the Frigid Sea Area. There was no need for him to join in the fun.
Soon, nine days had passed. Lu Li was going to leave the next day. The Qi Family prepared a farewell banquet for Lu Li. Exquisite, White Fang and the others all came to bid farewell to Lu Li.
This time, Lu Li had to attend. After all, he was the star of the show and it was a banquet held for him by the Qi Family.
There weren't many patriarchs here. They were all young ones, including Mo Xiaotian.
Everyone knew that Lu Li was leaving so they didn't mock or ridicule him at the banquet, especially when they knew that Lu Li was at the Zi Yang Land.
It was hard to say when he could come back.
Since Qi Tianyu, White Fang and the other young masters were here, some young ladies in the hall were very active. The presence of these socialite young ladies made the atmosphere of the banquet lively and joyful.
The banquet went on until midnight. When Lu Li was about to leave, several people came in and stood behind the young masters. Judging from their solemn expressions, something big must have happened.
"What?"
Qi Tianyu shouted. He was overjoyed, which caught the attention of many young masters and young ladies.
When White Fang received the report, he became extremely excited.
Lu Li's curiosity was piqued. He asked Xiang Linglong, "What is it?"
Xiang Linglong thought about it and decided to tell the truth. She replied, "The Heaven Path Realm suddenly opened just now. It is a primitive secret area, a strange one at that.
The opening and closing are not under the control of the four forces and the opening time is not fixed. But every time it opens, only one hundred people can go in for three years. "
"Primitive secret area?"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. He had never been to a primitive secret area.
But since it was a primitive secret area in the Frigid Sea and only one hundred people could go in, it wouldn't be his turn. Lu Li didn't overthink it.
"Heaven Path Realm?"
Right at that moment, Lu Li heard a message in his mind. It was from the Blood Evil King, "Punk, try to get a place. The Heaven Path Realm is a place that Ancestor Dao Heaven once refined. There are marks of Taoism he left in there.
I once went in and learned a lot. Your realm is too low. You may be able to gain more if you go in. "
"Eh?"
Lu Li was hesitating. The Qi Family had already sent him to the Zi Yang Land for free. If he asked for a place, the Qi Family would think he was being insatiable.
Since the Xiang Family had already paid him, it would be harder for him to ask for a place.
Seeing that Lu Li was hesitating, the Blood Evil King said again, "Ancestor Dao Heaven is a Saint Emperor, a Saint Emperor skilled in soul attacks. If you can learn something from the Heaven Path Realm, it will be of great help to you.
Also, I know some places where there are top level elixirs. "
"Eh?"
This time, Lu Li was tempted. His strongest skill was soul attacks. If he could improve his soul attacks, then his abilities would be enhanced.
And the top level elixirs. The elixirs mentioned by the Blood Evil King must be of the highest level.
"I will try!"
