"My heavens, could this Brother Li be the Li Xuan the Moon Tribe's Saintess mentioned? Isn't going out now suicidal?"
Seeing Li Xuan's demeanor as if he were bravely heading to his death, Wang Kun suddenly exclaimed in shock as if he had thought of something.
Then, his eyes darted around, and he quickly pointed at the void. A beam of spiritual light instantly merged into the emptiness and vanished.
After Wang Kun finished his action, if anyone had paid attention, they would have noticed a figure lying on the clouds. If Li Xuan were there, he would have recognized this old man as the elder from the Tu Li Pavilion.
"This brat Xiao Kun, sending me a message at this time. Could it be that that kid has noticed?" the old man muttered to himself, then grabbed the spiritual light floating in front of him and pressed it into his forehead.
"Hmm? There's something like this. Interesting, interesting."
After reading the message, the old man sat up. But then he shook his head again, "This kid hasn't passed all the tests yet, and according to reason and sentiment, I shouldn't help him. If I were to intervene, wouldn't I be breaking the rules I set myself? No, no."
"But it would be too much of a pity if this chosen one doesn't join my sect. Moreover, although Yue Zhengqi and those few aren't very strong yet, they are still leaders of great families. That restriction of mine might be detected. If that happens, this kid's chosen one physique will be exposed. If the Yue family fancies him, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
The old man had just lain down when he suddenly sat up again.
"Who is that person? Why is he walking towards the high platform?"
"He looks very unfamiliar. Looking at his attire, he doesn't seem to be a disciple of any prominent force."
"Perhaps he was attracted by the Saintess's beauty. Didn't the Yue Clan Leader say that only people from the Yuan, and the other three clans are eligible to participate? This person is probably also aiming to win the competition."
"..."
On the high platform, Yue Zhengqi and Yue Fuyao also noticed the murmurs from below. Their gazes shifted, and both looked at Li Xuan, who had suddenly walked down from the spectator seats.
Upon seeing him, Yue Fuyao's face lit up with surprise, "Li... Li Xuan?!"
"Li Xuan? What's going on!" Yue Zhengqi and Yue Fuyao were not far apart, and since Yue Fuyao had also called out Li Xuan's name in a moment of distraction, Yue Zhengqi naturally heard it immediately.
"Li Xuan, is it really you?" Yue Fuyao moved and leaped down from the high platform. Looking at Li Xuan before her, she was momentarily speechless.
Li Xuan heard her and smiled, nodding, "Fuyao, it's me. I, Li Xuan, have arrived."
"Brother Xuan!" Hearing this, Yue Fuyao completely ignored the nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes on them and lunged into Li Xuan's arms.
"Patriarch Yan Tian, is this the Li Xuan you were talking about?"
Seeing Li Xuan and Yue Fuyao being intimate below, Yue Zhengqi's expression turned extremely grim. He then turned his head to look at Yue Yan Tian, who had already stood up, and said with an incredibly cold voice.
"Saintess, you are our Moon Clan's Saintess. Such lack of etiquette, what is this turning into!" Yue Zhengxiao, seeing Yue Zhengqi's displeased expression, waved his large hand, and a surge of power instantly pulled Yue Fuyao back to the high platform from the plaza.
Seeing this, Li Xuan's eyes immediately turned towards Yue Zhengxiao.
"Heh heh, interesting. I didn't expect this kid to have such a connection with the Moon Clan's Saintess. Today, this old man can enjoy a good show. Hmm, I should change this kid's aura first."
Just as Yue Zhengqi and the others were confronting Li Xuan, a figure high above the Moon Spirit Plaza was leisurely watching from the side with his legs crossed, as if enjoying a show.
Then, he waved his hand, and an invisible force instantly enveloped Li Xuan.
This person was naturally the old man from the Tu Li Pavilion. Surprisingly, none of the people present noticed the old man's presence. Even the old man's actions went unnoticed by anyone.
"Clan Leader Yue, you said before that as long as I came, you would grant my wish. Now that I, Li Xuan, am here, Clan Leader Yue should not go back on his word, right."
Seeing Yue Fuyao being controlled by Yue Zhengxiao, Li Xuan suppressed the displeasure in his heart and shifted his gaze to Yue Zhengqi, saying.
"Interesting, this Yue Zhengqi is lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot. I originally intended to stir up trouble, but it seems I don't need to act now." The Holy Lord glanced at Li Xuan, then looked at Yue Zhengqi's flushed face and said with immense satisfaction.
"Holy Lord, this kid is only at the peak of the Ming Ti realm, but his courage is commendable," Elder Sheng Tian said softly, glancing at Li Xuan.
"Do you think Yue Zhengqi will tolerate this kid taking away their Moon Clan's Saintess?" The Holy Lord chuckled and said.
"Does the Holy Lord mean that Yue Zhengqi will go back on his word in front of so many people? If that happens, their Moon Clan's prestige will be shattered," Elder Sheng Tian said in a low voice.
"I want to see how Yue Zhengqi handles this. If he chooses to endure it, then the marriage alliance naturally cannot proceed. If he goes back on his word, both outcomes are good for us, the Holy Clan. Yue Zhengqi, Yue Zhengqi, you wouldn't have expected this day to come, would you?"
The Holy Lord seemed to be in a good mood. After speaking, he picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and continued to look at Yue Zhengqi.
"You are Li Xuan, aren't you? I did indeed say that if you could come here, I would not stop you. However, Yue Fuyao is now our Moon Clan's Saintess, and her status is not comparable to your current strength."
"I can keep my promise, but before that, you must undergo a test from my Moon Clan. If you pass, I will not interfere in the affairs between you two."
Yue Zhengqi took a deep breath, then looked at Li Xuan intently and said.
"Well said, 'keeping a promise'."
Li Xuan sneered at this, but then his expression became firm as he looked at Yue Zhengqi.
"I, Li Xuan, accept your Moon Clan's test!"
