Chapter 1061: The Visiting Card

Elder Wang Ling stared at the visiting card Li Luo handed over, momentarily stunned, unsure whether to accept it or not.

He naturally felt some displeasure toward Li Luo, so he had been making every excuse to refuse their request to meet the two vice presidents, but he never expected Li Luo to pull such a move...

Submitting a visiting card was an extremely formal act.

This was also a matter of etiquette among various factions; generally, unless there was a blood feud between the two sides, one would accept the visiting card peacefully.

Refusing to accept it would be a great insult and disdain toward the other party.

And the Li Li Tianwang lineage was a Li Li Tianwang-level power, a hegemon in the Outer Shenzhou; if this provoked enmity between both sides, the resulting impact would obviously be something Wang Ling could not bear.

The consequences would be a hundred times more severe than simply beating Li Luo up.

So, Wang Ling dared not refuse this visiting card.

Thus, he could only hold his nose, extend both hands, and politely accept the card.

Actually, Wang Ling understood in his heart that this visiting card might not have been specifically sent by the Dragon Tooth Pulse, but rather something Li Luo had suddenly concocted.

But what could he do? Should he go to the Dragon Tooth Pulse to verify if the card was genuine? Moreover, the fact that Li Luo held the card proved its legitimacy... Regarding this, Wang Ling could only say that Li Luo was likely very favored within the Dragon Tooth Pulse.

"I will forward the visiting card to the two vice presidents; please wait for news, young friend Li Luo," Wang Ling said in a muffled voice.

"Later, I will also arrange for young friend Li Luo to stay in the guest quarters."

Hearing this, Li Luo turned to look at Instructor Xi Chan and asked, "Does the instructor wish to change accommodation?"

He could see at a glance that this small building of Instructor Xi Chan's was quite shabby, and compared to those nearby, the conditions were undoubtedly far worse.

Instructor Xi Chan shook her head and said, "No need, this place is fine."

These were trivial matters, and she was too lazy to care.

Li Luo nodded and said, "Then I will stay here as well; there should be spare rooms, right?"

Instructor Xi Chan thought for a moment and then nodded.

"This..." Wang Ling felt somewhat helpless; Li Luo came with a visiting card yet stayed in such a dilapidated small courtyard. If this got out, they would be accused of lacking hospitality at the Ancient Academy of Outer Shenzhou.

In the end, Wang Ling could only nod, said no more, and directly led the still-unwilling Chen Yi away, turning his back.

After the two of them left, Li Luo turned to look at Senior Zong Sha and Jiang Jiang Wanyu, smiling and asking, "Could the two of you help me with a favor?"

"Just say it," Senior Zong Sha said with a hearty laugh.

"I would like some information on the teams from other Sacred Academies that have come to the Ancient Academy of Outer Shenzhou to participate in the institute-level evaluation," Li Luo said.

Jiang Jiang Wanyu exclaimed in surprise, "You really intend to represent the Sacred Star Academy alone?"

Senior Zong Sha also frowned and said, "This is a team competition; other Sacred Academies have four institutes joining forces. Although the students from the first and second-star institutes are basically just filling spots, the students from the third and fourth-star institutes cannot be underestimated."

Although after the incident in the Spirit Illusion Grotto-Heaven, Senior Zong Sha understood Li Luo's strength and methods, this kind of competition was somewhat different from the fighting within the grotto-heaven; Li Luo going it alone was ultimately at a disadvantage.

"In this matter, some external forces probably cannot be used," Jiang Jiang Wanyu also reminded, noting that Li Luo's method of borrowing the power of a certain Great Spirit Beast to suddenly surge in strength was no longer a secret.

Li Luo nodded with a smile; he naturally knew this, but... some students from the third and fourth-star institutes of certain Sacred Academies probably could not pose much of a threat to him now.

Senior Zong Sha and Jiang Jiang Wanyu did not say much more, after all, they knew Li Luo's strength; even with just one person, as long as he played it cautious in the competition, he should be able to achieve a good result.

Thus, the two of them soon took their leave.

After the two left, Li Luo turned around and looked at Instructor Xi Chan, whose beautiful eyes had been staring at him from the very beginning.

"Instructor, has it been about a year since we last met, and you've discovered I now possess the bearing of a strong person?" Li Luo said with a sigh.

Instructor Xi Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I haven't discovered any bearing of a strong person, but I do see the initial appearance of a prodigal's bearing; it seems without Jiang Jiang Qinge to manage you, you are about to run wild."

Then her red lips curled slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes: "However... it is quite satisfying."

"This is called treating someone with their own medicine," Li Luo defended.

Afterwards, the two looked at each other and both burst out laughing.

"Instructor, won't you let me in for a seat? I still want to know the current situation of the Sacred Star Academy," Li Luo said with a smile.

Instructor Xi Chan nodded slightly, stood at the courtyard gate, turned her body slightly, and extended her hand to gesture vaguely.

"Please, young master 'prodigal' from the Li Li Tianwang lineage."

On the other side, Elder Wang Ling and Chen Yi walked away together.

"Is this matter a lost cause? This was ordered by the Dean; with this result, I will surely face punishment when I return," Chen Yi said, clearly unwilling; the Sacred Star Academy was now in ruins, and giving those resources to them was truly a waste.

Elder Wang Ling was also somewhat helpless and said, "Who knew that within the Sacred Star Academy located in the Outer Shenzhou, there would be such a student with a background, and that they would also have someone to speak up for them..."

"The name of this Li Luo has been quite loud recently; he counts as a new rising star among the younger generation in the Outer Shenzhou."

He glanced at Chen Yi and said, "But don't rush yet; although Li Luo has the background of the Li Li Tianwang lineage, our Ancient Academy of Outer Shenzhou will not fear him. We just need to look better in our conduct to avoid giving people ammunition; if it gets too big, it will be hard to clean up."

"Besides, the institute-level evaluation is a four-person team format; no matter how skilled Li Luo is, he is only a champion among his peers, and the Sacred Star Academy only has him this time. Can he really fight four on his own?"

Elder Wang Ling sneered and said, "I have heard of some of his methods in the Spirit Illusion Grotto-Heaven; it seems he borrowed the power of a certain Spirit Beast to achieve a victory against a higher level, but such methods will be prohibited in the institute-level evaluation, so there is no need to worry."

Chen Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "I was almost intimidated by this kid's talk of fighting four on his own."

Elder Wang Ling smiled faintly and said, "Young people naturally cannot avoid being arrogant, especially with a beautiful instructor watching nearby; they always want to show off. I imagine he will feel some regret afterwards."

"I will report this matter to Vice President Wu Yu; he is your Dean's clan brother, so he will likely help you. At that time, we can make some adjustments within the rules, and the Sacred Star Academy might back down out of fear."

"Although Li Luo has some status, this is an internal matter of our Academy Alliance; the Li Li Tianwang lineage has no reason to interfere."

He glanced at Chen Yi and whispered, "The Dean of the Sacred Star Academy, Pang Pang Qianyuan, had some grievances with Vice President Wu Yu back in the day."

Chen Yi realized; so there was another layer of grievance. No wonder Vice President Wu Yu did not like that Sacred Star Academy and even didn't want to see Instructor Xi Chan.

He turned his head to look at the small building with a roof peeking out from among the tree shadows and coldly snorted in his heart.

"So what if it's the Li Li Tianwang lineage... this 'extinct family', my Shenze Academy will insist on targeting it."
