Chapter 472: Most Favored Young Lady
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The small battlefield was not yet available, which created a window of time for Jiang Qiling to absorb her divine energy. Law Enforcement Patriarch excused himself and left the rest of the matter for Jiang Tianshun to decide.
Before he left, Law Enforcement Patriarch threw a look not to Lu Li, but to his sleeve and told him, “Lu Li, your pet has absorbed some divine energy. Protect it well and don’t let it die. When it grows, it will amaze you.”
Lu Li thought that his great grandpa was going to tell him something related to the Lu Family. Little did Lu Li expect that it was about Little White. He nodded. Though disappointed, he said nothing and watched as Law Enforcement Patriarch and others go.
“Come with me!”
Jiang Tianshun led the way. They went pass several corridors and arrived at a small castle.
“You can live here for a few days. This is my residence.”
Jiang Tianshun told them, “Don’t wander off. You can only stay here. Punk, wait here. Ling-er, come with me.”
Jiang Tianshun showed Jiang Qiling to another room, presumably, to tell her how to absorb divine energy. Lu Li stayed in the hall.
After a while, he took Little White out, trying to see if Little White had any changes after absorbing the golden words. But it slept again. On the surface, nothing was different.
Every time Little White absorbed a large amount of energy it would sleep. After all, it was too little. Only a couple of years had passed since its birth. In Xuan Beasts’ terms, it was still a baby. Only by sleeping could it absorb all those energy and grow quicker.
Lu Li stood in the hall, recalling the abnormality with the statue.
He was confused…
He was certain that the abnormality happened because of him. Jiang Qiling came here and paid tribute to the statue before but nothing ever happened.
This meant that Lu Li was the cause.
At that time, the silver dragon moved around and his blood was boiling. Those were proof of Lu Li being the cause as well. What he could not understand was how come the ray of light moved away from him to Jiang Qiling and passed the divine energy to her.
Divine energy must be something good, judging by the looks of Jiang Tianshun and others. Jiang Qiling was now regarded as the chosen warrior after being bestowed divine energy. This was an evidence of the miraculous power of divine energy.
Lu Li didn’t regret that he couldn’t get it.
For reasons unknown to Lu Li, the silver dragon resisted the divine energy. Silver Dragon Bloodline was an integrated part of him so when the silver dragon repelled the divine energy, he would, too.
Furthermore, Jiang Qiling was his friend and Little White was more like his family. From Lu Li’s stand point, nothing could be better than those two receiving the divine energy.
If Lu Li was the one who acquired divine energy, all his secrets would be out in the open. He didn’t like being in the spotlight. Ye Cha, God of Meng and the others would be exposed soon. If Lu Li refused to join the Demon-slaying Hall after getting the divine energy, he would put himself in an extremely difficult position. Lu Zhengtan would not tolerate his existence…
“Where are the master and the two deputy masters?”
Lu Li was curious that the three didn’t make an appearance when something this big happened. While he was indulging in the flights of thoughts, Jiang Tianshun came back.
The way he looked at Lu Li was strange. Taking the center seat, Jiang Tianshun took a sip of tea and asked, “Your name is Lu Li? You are Lu Renhuang’s son?”
“Yes, my lord!” Lu Li answered with respect.
Jiang Tianshun nodded and continued, “I know something about you. I hear that Jiang Wuwo is opposed of you dating Ling-er.”
“Dating?”
Lu Li frowned and replied, “I think this is a mistake. We are just friends.”
“Hmm!”
Jiang Tianshun snorted, “Don’t waste your time saying stuff like this. All I want to say is—I am against it, too. You see, Ling-er is becoming the chosen warrior because she is given the divine energy. But you…you are only at the Eternal Realm and you are driven out of the Lu Family. Do you understand?”
Lu Li rolled his eyes. Everyone at the Jiang Family was alike. He didn’t even want to explain anymore and replied only with silence.
“How about this.”
Jiang Tianshun thought about it and said, “If you are lucky enough to get out from the small battlefield, I will tell Wuwo to give you several dozens of millions of Xuan Crystals. You go back and cultivate. Leave Ling-er alone.”
“Dozens of millions of Xuan Crystals?”
Lu Li almost burst into laughter. Every time he did business with the Pavilion of Delicacy, he would make dozens of millions of Xuan Crystals. They were trying to buy him off with such a small amount? Was Jiang Tianshun’s brain damaged after spending so much time at the Demon-slaying Hall?
Lu Li grinned but he didn’t talk back. He only nodded and said, “I will listen to you.”
“Um.”
Jiang Tianshun nodded with satisfaction and said, “Okay, stay here for now. When you go to the small battlefield, you will be fine as long as you are with Ling-er. I will tell her how to protect herself.”
Jiang Tianshun left. Lu Li entered a room. He drove all the messy thoughts out from his mind and began cultivation. He had just reached the Eternal Realm and it was not stable yet. He hadn’t developed his psychic power. He could make the best of the remaining time to cultivate.
…
Du Wu, the Family Patriarch of the Du Family came as soon as possible along with Jiang Yi. But what was done could not be undone. They could say nothing else now that Law Enforcement Patriarch and Jiang Tianshun had given their consent of Jiang Qiling entering the small battlefield. Du Wu and Jiang Yi went back to report.
But Jiang Tianshun did tell them that Jiang Qiling triggered the statue and was given divine energy.
The two was overjoyed. In this way, Jiang Wuwo wouldn’t scold them when they went back.
The Demon-slaying City was quite lively these days. The fact that Jiang Qiling had received divine energy and was on her path to become future chosen warrior traveled across the city in just two hours.
Many warriors in the Demon-slaying City were excited. Once a chosen warrior appeared, humans would be able to best the four alien races for thousands of years. Humans could bring destruction to the four alien races, bring peace and security for the human race for tens of thousands of years.
The information even travelled beyond the walls of Demon-slaying City to the entire Great Land.
Jiang Qiling became a name known to all. Jiang Wuwo and the Pavilion of Delicacy were overjoyed at the news. Immediately, they named Jiang Qiling as the future Family Patriarch. Overnight, Jiang Qiling’s status was elevated and she was now the most important young lady of the Great Land.
As the future Jiang Family Patriarch and chosen warrior, Jiang Qiling replaced Ji Mengtian from the Samsara Palace as the No.1 young lady.
Not too many young masters and young ladies were scheduled to come to the small battlefield this time. But when the news got out, many young masters and young ladies from prestigious houses set off overnight. They rushed to the three entrances, ready to enter the small battlefield.
The young masters came for Jiang Qiling. How glorious it would be for one young master if he could become the husband of the chosen warrior.
The young ladies, on the other hand, weren’t convinced by the news. They wanted to compete with Jiang Qiling, beating her to prove that they were more amazing.
Jiang Qiling and Lu Li had now idea that because of them, the small battlefield had become livelier.
The present scale and the number of participants were never seen before.
