"Plop!"

Only now did he realize that Xie Han's body was like a floating flower that had fallen to the ground, floating in the air. Her charming face was slightly pale, and the blood traces on the corner of her mouth made her look somewhat sinister.

With his palm pressed tightly against his chest, Xie Han forced himself to resist the intense pain coming from his four limbs and bones. He raised his head and saw that not far from her, Lu Li was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.

"You lost." Lu Li said indifferently.

"Mm, I've lost."

These three simple words were like sharp needles that pierced Xie Han's heart. She waited for Lu Li's face that was as deep as an ancient well to become hoarse, and only at this moment, did she truly understand the disparity between them.

She was a good talent, a good talent that Xie Family regarded as a treasure in the palm of her hand.

But Lu Li, was a peerless genius!

Staring at his cold and frustrated face up close, Lu Li couldn't help but start laughing silently. The feeling of being unable to retaliate caused him to feel somewhat sad from the looks of it …

"After this is over, I hope that you won't bother me anymore. You can be your young miss, and I'll be my scapegoat. There's no need for us to interact any further."

"Oh yeah, if any of you still dare to have any thoughts about Yuelu, I don't mind killing him."

Lu Li grinned, and his relaxed voice slowly faded.

At this moment, there was complete silence!

Xie Han, the most outstanding person among the City Lord's Mansion younger generation, started cultivating at the age of seven. She was twenty-four years old, at the sixth level of the Spirit Spring Water.

However, she had been defeated. There was no sudden reversal in the situation that people were thinking about. She had not struck back at all. From the very beginning, she had truly been defeated in such a straightforward manner.

When some people finally woke up from their shock and carefully calculated Lu Li's age, their hearts were immediately filled with shock.

After entering the Cold Sword Sect at the age of twelve, his cultivation was crippled at the age of fourteen, and he was kicked out of the sect. After a year, he returned to the sect and it had only been a little more than a year. In actuality, the time that Lu Li had truly cultivated within, was less than three years.

In three years, he had leaped up to become a Spiritual Spring Realm Ranker, and in this time, Lu Li was only sixteen years old!

At this age, many people had just started to cultivate. Those with some talent would only have Spiritual Movement Stage, and Spirit-plasma Realm. However, Lu Li had already become a true expert on the stage!

Sixteen years old, Spiritual Spring Realm Realm, Cold Sword Sect Discipline Elder Senior Brother, elder with the same authority, and even more so, a dual cultivation of Sword Symbol, both pill and artifact!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva, their backs soaked in cold sweat.

"Sigh, that girl Han'er, her attack this time has been a bit too much."

On the high platform, the Xie Family Elder's face was a lot darker, as he let out a long sigh.

Hearing the sighs of the elders beside him, Xie Guyuan's face revealed a bitter look, but, that bitterness quickly dissipated and was replaced with a scorching gaze.

"In time, this child will definitely become an expert!" We must recruit him into our Hanzhou Prefecture! " Xie Guyuan's finger lightly tapped on the chair's armrest, his expression joyous, and simply unable to conceal it.

"Hello."

On the arena, just as Lu Li was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly called out to her.

"If you have something to say, say it."

"The Imperial Family and the Main House of the Cold State may all want to recruit you. This may affect your entire life. "Decide carefully." Xie Han hesitated for a moment before replying. In her heart, however, she was very clear that both Liang Xuan and her grandfather Xie Guyuan were determined to win …

"Understood, thank you." Without even turning his head, he waved his hand, and just as Lu Li was about to leave, he did not have any plans to stop.

"Brother Lu Li, hold on!"

Without waiting for Lu Li to take a few steps forward, an anxious voice sounded from the stage. Lu Li secretly smacked his lips, turned around, and cupped his fists towards Liang Xuan who was on the stage.

"Your Highness, what orders do you have for me?"

Hehe, Brother Lu Li, there is no need for you to be so courteous, I have stopped you just to ask if you have any plans to join us? Liang Xuan said as he waved his hand. When he said that, it immediately caused a commotion.

That was an invitation from the third prince of the Cloud Country! If he agreed to enter the imperial court, wearing a black veil would be a certain thing!

"Hey, Your Highness, you are already a talent, why did you have to bring this little friend Lu Li into the Imperial Palace, and share the resources with you? This old subject proposes that you allow little friend Lu Li to come to my Hanzhou Prefecture. This old subject guarantees that the best resources in Hanzhou Prefecture will be poured into his body! "

At the side, Xie Guyuan also walked over, and said while laughing.

The commotion below the arena grew even louder. One was the current prince, the other was the prime minister of the Cold State, a first rank official, a single sentence from him was enough to change a person's life, but at this moment, he had actually simultaneously sent an invitation to Lu Li, which, in the eyes of the bystanders, could be said to be an extremely great honor!

But in the eyes of some clear-sighted people, this was a dilemma. Some people even started to silently mourn for Lu Li.

A Prefecture Minister might not be that powerful in other countries, but the Cloud Country only had five prefectures. A Prefecture Minister's power was enough to shake the royal family's foundation!

If Lu Li chose to enter the Imperial Family, he would inevitably offend the Hanzhou Prefecture.

But if Lu Li were to choose Hanzhou Prefecture, on the day Liang Xuan has complete control over the country, he would reach the end of his career.

To put it harshly, with Xie Family that could shake a nation's power, how could they not have ambitions? The answer was obvious.

Thus, no matter how Lu Li chooses, he would definitely offend one of them. In a sense, the two of them were opposed to each other.

Amongst the seats, Weng Hanxue, who was leading the group of elders, was leading the way while feeling a chill in their hearts.

Whether it was the Hanzhou Prefecture or the Imperial Family, neither of them were people that the Cold Sword Sect could provoke.

Lu Li's gaze swept across the faces of the few key figures, but he looked extremely relaxed. From his mouth, he even said something that shocked the entire audience.

"Your Highness, Lord Prefect, I only wish to remain in the sect and wholeheartedly focus on cultivation, not to step into the imperial court."

Not willing!

When these words came out of Lu Li's mouth, it caused an uproar, it was not any smaller than the two great figures who invited them at the same time. Everyone was still considering which side Lu Li would stand on, but Lu Li was resolute to not stand on one side!

"Little friend, have you thought about it carefully? If you were to cultivate, regardless of whether it's the Imperial Family or Hanzhou Prefecture, your resources would be much richer than yours by a large margin. I believe that no matter which side you choose, you will be able to enjoy the highest level of treatment. Xie Guyuan stroked his beard, but his expression was no longer as beautiful as it was in the beginning. Obviously, Lu Li's rejection still made him a little angry.

To the side, Liang Xuan was already frowning: "Thank you, Sir, for being able to obtain such a chance that countless people want to obtain, are you sure you want to give it up?"

"Your Highness and Lord Xie, if I may ask a question, are you threatening me?" However, Lu Li smiled with disdain, "The meaning behind your words is that my sect is nothing in the eyes of the two of you, if I do not comply, I am afraid that there will be a calamity coming my way?"

Hearing this, countless of people became as quiet as cicadas. They had never thought that Lu Li would actually dare to say such words. To put it nicely, this was called being arrogant, but to put it harshly …

This was no different from courting death!

On the high platform, Liang Xuan and Xie Guyuan's faces both clearly trembled, and for a moment, they were a little speechless.

Yes, this is a threat!" Moments later, Liang Xuan was the first to speak, "We all admit that you are a peerless genius who has been nurtured to perfection. You will be a peerless expert of your generation. But because of this, we must be sure that you do not have any ill intentions, or else it would be a disaster for us!

"Your Highness is indeed thoughtful, I admire you." Laughing lightly, Lu Li suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the stage, "I have an idea, I would like to invite the two of you to listen before making a decision, how about it?"

Hearing that, Liang Xuan and Xie Guyuan were startled, they looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.

"I want to ask the two of you for some time. It won't take too long, it will only take three years." I request the two of you for three years. Within three years, I promise that I will not step out of the Cloud Country for even half a step, and after three years, I will naturally give the Yun Nation a huge gift. At that time, when I enter the imperial court again, I will not have the reputation of stepping into the backdoor.
