“I… from beginning to end, I never said I was Wan Lei.”

He couldn’t take it. With so many accolades, Young Master Lei felt he simply couldn’t bear the weight.

These words only made people more contemptuous.

If you’re not Wan Lei, why are you showing up to act like a big shot?

“The registration people are here.”

Someone shouted, and everyone turned their heads to look. The Jindan (Golden Core) cultivator from the registration area earlier was coming out of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion.

To a large extent, this relieved Wan Lei’s awkwardness.

“Everyone’s here, huh? Please wait a bit longer. The teleportation array will be activated this afternoon.”

The man said with a chuckle.

“Brother Chen, this person not only didn’t register, but he’s also impersonating Young Master Wan Lei. Just say the word, and we’ll chase him away!”

The woman pointed at Wan Lei.

“Heh, who’s so bold as to dare impersonate Young Master Lei? Don’t they know that Young Master Lei is now the young master of the entire Qishan Prefecture…?

Oh, Young Master, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you say something? Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go inside the Prefectural Governor’s mansion for tea.”

“Brother Chen’s” attitude made a complete 180-degree turn when he saw Wan Lei, and he immediately came up to Wan Lei with a nod and a bow.

The whole place was stunned.

“Brother Chen, don’t be like that. I’m also waiting for the real Wan Lei to come out.”

Wan Lei was very modest in his words, but the corners of his eyes were almost pointing to the sky.

“Oh, my Young Master Lei, what are you doing? The younger generation doesn’t know any better and offended you. Why would you lower yourself to their level?”

I’m probably the youngest one here, right?

“You… You are Young Master Lei?”

The woman looked at Wan Lei blankly, her words a bit stuttering.

“I am Wan Lei, but whether or not I’m the Wan Lei you’re talking about, I don’t know.”

“Young Master Lei, please forgive me. This little girl didn’t know just now…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m very happy.”

Qi Manyao glared at this shameless guy. You were very pleased just now when people were praising you so much, weren’t you?

“Young Master, the Prefectural Governor has been admiring you for a long time. Two months ago, he sent people to the Wan family to invite you, but the Wan family head said you were in closed-door cultivation, which has made the Prefectural Governor wait for quite a while.

Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll go inside for tea. The teleportation array won’t be activated until this afternoon.”

Wan Lei really couldn’t refuse, so he led Tian Suanzi and the other two into the Prefectural Governor’s mansion.

Inside the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, they met the Prefectural Governor, who greeted them warmly.

Today, the Prefectural Governor of Qishan Prefecture, Lanning Kingdom, and Wan Lei, the young master of the Wan family, held a cordial meeting in the main hall of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion.

The Qishan Prefecture spokesperson, the Prefectural Governor, stated that the Wan family’s territory and the territories of the three affiliated families are the Wan family’s sacred and inviolable sovereignty. The official will strictly abide by the agreement, and protecting the Wan family’s property from harm and defending the dignity of order is the Prefectural Governor’s sacred mission.

Furthermore, the Prefectural Governor also stated that he expressed strong protest and condemnation against the three families’ previous attacks on the Wan family, calling it an evil act of aggression.

The Prefectural Governor’s mansion resolutely resisted and made it clear that any forces that provoked the Wan family and the Prefectural Governor’s mansion would be doomed.

Wan Lei, the spokesperson for the Wan family, stated that the Wan family was very grateful for the support of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, highly praised the attitude of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, and felt sincerely proud.

Wan Lei stated that in the days to come, the Wan family would surely work hand in hand with the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, listen to the instructions of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, and jointly create a harmonious and progressive tomorrow, creating a beautiful home for the people of Qishan Prefecture.

The two sides reached a high degree of consensus at this meeting, unifying their thinking, raising their awareness, and encouraging the spirit of guarding Qishan Prefecture and creating a better future together.

The meeting was held in a warm and harmonious atmosphere and lasted until the *wei* hour in the afternoon, concluding successfully.

Under the gaze of the young cultivators outside, Wan Lei strode out of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion.

This made those people extremely envious, and they stepped forward to offer their flattery.

Wan Lei had the strength. The Wan family was now the only major clan in Qishan Prefecture, and Wan Lei was even a genius who could kill Yuanying (Nascent Soul) cultivators. They still had to rely on Wan Lei to take care of them in the Myriad Pride Ranking competition.

This time, the person accompanying them to the capital was still Chen Jian, the Jindan (Golden Core) cultivator from the registration area. Wan Lei already knew his name.

Chen Jian led them to the teleportation array. After activating the teleportation array, a total of more than forty people disappeared in an instant.

There were only a dozen or so participants, but each person had two slots for servants. Those from prominent families would naturally bring servants.

People without servants would also sell their slots to those who wanted to go to the Central Region, taking them along to earn some extra money.

Ten thousand miles east of Qishan Prefecture lies the capital of Lanning Kingdom.

As the political, cultural, and military center of the entire Lanning Kingdom, Ning City, the capital of Lanning Kingdom, was built extremely vast.

Within the city, the imperial palace was located in the very center. Outward from the imperial palace was where the high-ranking officials and nobles lived. The entire capital was extremely prosperous, bustling with activity, with an endless stream of pedestrians.

Outside the city, outside the south gate, were several teleportation arrays, heavily guarded all year round.

Outside the teleportation array, there were more than two hundred cultivators standing there.

These cultivators came from all over the Lanning Kingdom and were all people who were going to participate in the Myriad Pride Ranking competition.

Because they were only transferring here and would be heading to the Central Region in the evening, no one went to take a stroll inside the capital city.

Counting from the east, the third teleportation array lit up.

Dozens of figures appeared.

“Are the Daoists from Qishan Prefecture here? This old man is Qiu E, the leader of this Lanning Kingdom team.”

Seeing an old man walk out and speak from the group of cultivators in front, Chen Jian quickly greeted him.

“This humble one is Chen Jian, greetings Elder Qiu.”

This Elder Qiu was a Yuanying (Nascent Soul) cultivator.

“Hahahaha, this old man has heard within this capital city that a young genius has recently emerged from Qishan Prefecture, who killed several Yuanying (Nascent Soul) experts with Jindan (Golden Core) cultivation. I wonder which one is the young friend Wan Lei?”

Seeing that the other party had already called out his name, Wan Lei couldn’t hide in the crowd any longer. He sighed and stood out.

“Greetings, Senior Qiu.”

“Qiu Tianchi is my cousin.”

“…” Wan Lei.

Good heavens, he’s here for revenge, isn’t he?

This is the capital, and the other party is still an elder of the capital. With a wave of his hand, he can definitely call a large group of people.

It is said that there are Yuanshen (Primordial Spirit) experts in the capital.

Thinking of this, Wan Lei was already preparing to summon the Thunder God’s Hammer. He would first go head-to-head, and if it didn’t work, he would immediately flee with Tian Suanzi, Qi Manyao, and Ba’ernu.

The world is vast, and I don’t believe there’s no place for me to escape.

But he probably wouldn’t be able to participate in the Myriad Pride Ranking. If he went to another country now to use the teleportation array, he probably wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

What a pity.

However, Qiu E’s next actions surprised Wan Lei.

Qiu E solemnly clasped his hands and bowed, saying, “Qiu E, on behalf of the Qiu family, thanks this young friend for helping my Qiu family remove a traitor.”

“Uh… uh?”

“Young friend, don’t misunderstand. This Qiu Tianchi betrayed the family a hundred years ago and even sold a family treasure to our enemies.

After that, although we have been hunting him down, he changed his name and hid, not knowing where he went, making it difficult for us to find him.”
