Wang Ningxue had always been cold and arrogant. On the surface, she was polite to everyone. But that was just the demeanor that disciples of Noble Families developed from a young age.
Deep down, she was still very cold. Not everyone would open their hearts and make friends with them.
She looked down on Lu Li from the bottom of her heart as well. It was not that Lu Li was the only one, but because of her high status and the fact that there were so many young men around her, average men could not catch her eye.
Even when Lu Li made it to the semi-finals like a dark horse, she didn't pay much attention to him.
From the fact that they discussed in the semi-finals, she could tell that she didn't care what Lu Li thought.
The first time Lu Li was recognized by her was in the semi-finals. When they were about to lose, Lu Li defeated Guan Qianqiu and turned the tables.
He had helped her advance, which was a great help. Naturally, she would remember Lu Li.
Lu Li's performance in the finals won her recognition as well. But that was it.
Now, things were different. Lu Li had been taken in as a protégé by Emperor Rui. That meant he was her junior brother, her biological junior brother. He was different from the other disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
They shared the same master and they would live together for many years. How could they be the same?
Also, Guan Qianqiu was eliminated and Lu Li advanced. The competition was not over yet.
Wang Ningxue didn't know what exactly happened, but she was sure that Lu Li and Guan Qianqiu had a conflict.
She didn't like Guan Qianqiu. She was happy that Lu Li could advance.
She came over as soon as Lu Li woke up. She wanted to ask what had happened.
Women loved gossip. Guan Qianqiu was eliminated and Ruan Shijie and the others were grounded. The emperors wouldn't tell others about this. Therefore, the only way was to ask Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't hide anything. He told her what happened. He didn't go into details about the battle. His Divine Chains of Order wouldn't murmur to anyone.
He gave an understatement. He said that Guan Qianqiu and the other three came to him and he injured Guan Qianqiu. When Ruan Shijie was about to attack him again, Emperor Rui showed up, saved Lu Li and brought him here.
"That's strange …"
After Wang Ningxue heard this, she murmured, "Logically speaking, Master doesn't have the right to let you advance, much less directly eliminate Guan Qianqiu. That should be the result of all the judges' approval.
Although Guan Qianqiu and Ruan Shijie's actions weren't right, some of the judges are definitely on good terms with the Guan Clan. Four of them were directly eliminated while you advanced. This is a bit strange. "
"It must be because of the god sequence chains!"
Lu Li speculated to himself that it must be because of the Divine Chains of Order that Lu Li could advance directly and was accepted as a legacy disciple by Emperor Rui.
Those emperors recognized the divine sequence chains, but they didn't have the intention to snatch it. They only absorbed him into the Celestial Emperor Sect and made the Rui Emperor accept him as a personal disciple.
In other words, the group of judges probably accepted him into the Celestial Emperor Sect because of the divine sequence chains.
"Senior Sister, what kind of person is our Master?
Do you understand? "
Lu Li said all of a sudden. He wanted to know Emperor Rui's character, which would make it easier for him to contact him in the future. Lu Li could also tell if Emperor Rui would rob him of his chains of order.
Those were treasures of heaven and earth. What if Emperor Rui harbored evil intentions and found a chance to kill Lu Li and take the chains off him?
"Our Master?
How should I put it? Well … he is one of the miracles in the Endless Ruins of Gods. "
Wang Ningxue exclaimed with admiration, "Ten thousand years ago, our Master was an influential figure in the Endless Ruins of Gods. Over the past ten thousand years, our Master rarely went out and deliberately kept a low profile. That is why he is not as famous and people don't pay so much attention to him.
But when he goes out, mentioning the name of Emperor Rui will make the older generation sigh with emotion … "
Wang Ningxue was born in the Wang Family. She had a complete collection of stories about Emperor Rui.
Lu Li was Emperor Rui's protégé. He must know something about Emperor Rui. Therefore, she told him in detail without hesitation.
It took Wang Ningxue an hour to finish her story. Lu Li was relieved after he heard it. He exclaimed that Emperor Rui was an extraordinary man.
Emperor Rui rose to prominence in a small dynasty in the south. He was a disciple of a branch of a small family. His aptitude was poor since he was young. His family believed that he could not be trained.
Emperor Rui was an orphan. His parents died in battle when he was young. He grew up with a bedridden grandfather who was injured in his early years.
His aptitude was poor. He only became a Second Tribulation Warrior at the age of 300. Naturally, he was treated coldly in the family.
But Emperor Rui did not give up. He cultivated in silence. 600 years later, he suddenly rose. He went through three Tribulations in a row and became a Fifth Tribulation Warrior, shocking his small dynasty.
After he became famous, his family's attitude toward him changed. The Family Patriarch even appointed him as the Young Family Patriarch.
But Emperor Rui left his family alone. He even announced that he was leaving the family.
He began to travel around. He changed his name to Rui Jian. This name became the representative of the God of Slaughter.
Emperor Rui would often rob the bandit legions alone. Because he had no background and resources, he could only rely on the treasures and materials he obtained from robbing the bandit legions to trade for what he needed.
In 1000 years, Emperor Rui robbed all the bandit legions of the eight dynasties nearby. His combat strength broke through from the Fifth Tribulation to the Sixth Tribulation.
However, he could no longer stay in those eight dynasties. Some bandit legions were related to the great clans of those dynasties. Some legions were even the hidden forces of those great clans.
Emperor Rui was hunted down many times and narrowly escaped death many times. Finally, he successfully escaped and went far away, disappearing without a trace.
He left for 4000 years. When he came back, he was already a Quasi-Thearch. Furthermore, he had a powerful killer move that could fight against ordinary Great Thearchs.
He eliminated all his enemies but offended a great clan because of this. That clan sent over a dozen Quasi-Thearchs to hunt him down.
This great clan was a top-notch force that was second only to the 18 sects.
Emperor Rui used all kinds of schemes and tactics to kill all the Quasi-Thearchs.
This time, he poked a hornet's nest. Three Great Thearchs of this clan couldn't sit still anymore. They personally chased after Emperor Rui.
Emperor Rui continued to flee. After injuring one Great Thearch, he was severely injured by another Great Thearch.
Just as he was about to be killed, Celestial Thearch Sect's Patriarch happened to pass by. He cherished talent and came out to protect Emperor Rui, bringing him back to Celestial Thearch Sect.
Emperor Rui didn't disappoint Celestial Thearch Sect's Patriarch. After 18 years in Celestial Thearch Sect, he broke through to the Thearch rank and became one of the top figures in the Endless Divine Ruins.
He was a late bloomer and didn't have any background. He relied on his own strength to rob all the bandit legions of the eight dynasties.
Later on, he used his Quasi-Thearch combat strength to fight against 13 great clans and annihilate them.
Finally, he offended a great clan. That great clan sent three Thearchs and even allowed Emperor Rui to kill one of them.
Ten thousand years ago, Emperor Rui was very famous in the Endless Divine Ruins.
However, after he came to Celestial Thearch Sect, he kept a low profile. For the past ten thousand years, he almost didn't go out and cultivated in Celestial Thearch Sect. Therefore, many people had forgotten about his illustrious reputation back then.
"Emperor Rui's experience is very similar to mine …"
