Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but chuckle; this girl certainly had quite the flair for drama.

Sensing Lu Li's reaction, Yan Yuexin couldn't help but puff out her cheeks again, glaring fiercely at him.

Although she had never met Meng Meng Meng Chuyun, Shangguan Wan'er, or the others, at this moment, she felt exactly the same way they did: she wanted to take a huge bite out of Lu Li just to vent the resentment in her heart.

563. The More You Know, the More You Panic

"Since that's the case, do we need to Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change the candidates for this trip to the Holy See?" Glancing at the interaction between Yan Yuexin and Lu Li, Yan Qian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It seemed this was the first Finish Finish Time his precious granddaughter had shown such interest and concern for someone of the opposite sex.

If Lu Li were a Magic Card Master belonging to the Northern or Western Regions, Yan Qian felt he might have considered using a "honey trap." After all, since ancient times, heroes have struggled to pass the beauty trial; this saying held true even in the Magic Card civilization.

Of course, that was also because the Domain Lords of the Western and Southern Regions didn't have any candidates worth showing off.

In this regard, their Southern Region had the advantage. Yan Qian was quite confident in his great-granddaughter's looks.

But beauty is subject to comparison; you don't fear not knowing the goods, you fear comparing the goods! This saying was equally applicable in the Magic Card civilization.

Yan Yuexin's appearance was already top-tier, and there were indeed few peers who could surpass her in this aspect.

But that was limited to her peers.

Especially since this Finish Finish Time, the opponent was the Night Queen!

In front of the fully matured Night Queen, to put it bluntly, Yan Yuexin really didn't have much to boast about.

Even as Yan Yuexin's great-grandfather, Yan Qian had to admit this.

Furthermore, the Night Queen's strength was not inferior to his own; it was even a notch higher. Good heavens, this was a total crushing in both strength and beauty.

At the very least, within the Ancient Kingdom, Yan Qian couldn't think of anyone who could be the Night Queen's rival. Perhaps, only the Supreme remained.

But after thinking about it, Yan Qian felt that was even less likely; after all, he knew the Supreme's plans, and the other party likely had no such intentions.

Moreover, this was not an appropriate Finish Finish Time.

Although he was deeply envious and jealous, and truly wanted to lure Lu Li to the Southern Region—

Look, the Eastern Region already possessed the Night Queen, an original Magic Card creator. Wouldn't it be a win-win development for Lu Li to come to their Southern Region and strengthen the friendship between the two great domains?

But Yan Qian also knew this was impossible; the Night Queen alone was an insurmountable hurdle.

Yes, the Night Queen herself was an original Magic Card creator, but no one had stipulated that the Eastern Region could only have one!

If Yan Qian dared to propose this, the Night Queen might just run off with Lu Li immediately.

Based on Yan Qian's understanding of Yue Nishang, she was absolutely capable of such an act.

If he were in the Night Queen's position, he would never let Lu Li leave either.

However, compared to this, there was another point that was more important and needed to be resolved right now.

Knowing Lu Li's identity as an original Magic Card creator, Yan Qian had to consider whether to let Lu Li accompany the team to the Holy See or to replace him directly.

Although changing candidates at the last minute would definitely affect the subsequent trip to the Holy See, they did have some backup candidates before they approached Lu Li.

If they hadn't found a suitable candidate during the Four Great Academies Exchange Tournament, they would have had to choose from those backups.

But now, it seemed Lu Li's appearance was a mixed blessing.

The original candidates would only be crushed by Lu Li; none of them could reach Lu Li's height at the same age.

Not to mention, once Lu Li's identity as an original Magic Card creator was revealed, the others had no comparison at all.

But it was precisely because of this identity that Yan Qian had to reconsider whether to Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change candidates.

This Finish Finish Time involved the Holy See, so he wanted to be more cautious.

After all, even if the Eastern and Southern Regions fought tooth and nail, Lu Li would ultimately still be a Magic Card Master of the Ancient Kingdom; this was the fundamental premise.

It wouldn't come to the point where the struggle between the Eastern and Southern Regions would drive Lu Li to leave the Ancient Kingdom.

However, the Holy See and the Ancient Kingdom were different; they belonged to two different factions.

Both sides were nations of the current generation possessing Supreme-level power, and they were in a competitive relationship.

If the Holy See discovered Lu Li's identity as an original Magic Card creator, they probably wouldn't let him leave easily.

Both Yan Qian and Lan Lan Lan Xiatong felt that this possibility was not low.

After all, even as a fellow Domain Lord of the Ancient Kingdom, Yan Qian couldn't help but eye Lu Li, let alone the people of the Holy See.

Even if Yan Qian and Lan Lan Lan Xiatong were both going, they couldn't 100% guarantee Lu Li's safety.

After all, it was Lu Li and Yan Yuexin participating in the inheritance trial, not them. No one knew what tricks the Holy See might pull at that Finish Finish Time.

However, with Lu Li's strength as a Limit King, even if the Holy See pulled some tricks during the trial, he should be able to handle them.

What the two were truly worried about was how to safely take Lu Li away if the Holy See discovered his identity.

Perhaps in many people's eyes, the King realm was already very powerful, the limit for an ordinary Magic Card Master, and Lu Li was a Limit King who could step into the Emperor realm at any Finish Finish Time.

But in the eyes of Lan Lan Lan Xiatong and Yan Qian, a King-realm Magic Card Master was just a beginner. As for those who hadn't even reached the King realm, they didn't even count as beginners.

Especially in battles between top-tier powerhouses, there was no difference between a King and cannon fodder. Even the Emperor realm didn't rank high.

Without the strength of the Sovereign realm, one couldn't even protect oneself in battles between top-tier powerhouses.

In the eyes of Lan Lan Lan Xiatong and Yan Qian, if Lu Li could grow up, he would inevitably be among the tiny group at the very top of the pyramid, but he didn't have that qualification yet.

Although changing candidates at the last minute will more or less affect the upcoming itinerary, it is still better than exposing Lu Li right now, as he has not yet fully grown.

Presumably, this is also one of the reasons why the Night Queen accompanied Lu Li to the Southern Region and even told them the secret regarding Lu Li.

Even if they end up proceeding according to the original plan, they must increase the importance they place on Lu Li.

For the safety of her student, the Night Queen has gone to great lengths this Finish Finish Time, but Yan Qian has no way to say anything to her.

If it were him, he might have done something even more ruthless than the Night Queen! He would have directly forbidden Lu Li from accompanying the team to the Holy See! After all, the importance of an original magic card creator is beyond doubt.

564. Potential is Forced Out

Just as Yan Qian guessed, the Night Queen specifically pointing out that Lu Li is an original magic card creator like herself was actually to give them a reminder.

Only in this way, even if Lu Li chooses to continue following the original agreement, will he receive higher regard from Yan Qian and Lan Lan Lan Xiatong during the upcoming trip to the Holy See.

Even if the people from the Holy See want to target Lu Li at that Finish Finish Time, Yan Qian will not let them succeed so easily.

Otherwise, she would not have needed to reveal the identity of an original magic card creator; just being her student, while heavy in status, still cannot compare to being an original magic card creator.

Of course, although they are both Domain Lords of the Ancient Kingdom and Yan Qian's reputation is quite good, in the Night Queen's eyes, Yan Qian is ultimately an outsider.

Compared to outsiders, the Night Queen naturally trusts her own people more, and regarding this point, she had already let Sister Sister Daji accompany them from the very beginning; Sister Sister Daji is her true hidden trump card.

The remade Sister Sister Daji is undoubtedly one of the Night Queen's strongest magic cards at this stage, and Sister Sister Daji's abilities are comprehensive; even if she has to take Lu Li and run, there is a significant probability of being able to leave the Holy See.

And this secret is known only to her and Lu Li!

Besides this, there is one more point.

That is, during the Finish Finish Time Lu Li stayed in the Northern Region, she once sought out the Supreme, Taiyin Taiyin Taiyin Youying! And she told the other party about Lu Li's upcoming trip to the Northern Region.

She never fights a battle without preparation!

This is her greatest source of confidence!

Thinking of this, the Night Queen slowly opened her mouth to answer Yan Qian: "This point depends on Lu Li's own wishes."

Although she had made many preparations, the Night Queen did not make the decision for Lu Li, but instead handed the decision-making power back to him.

If Lu Li wants to go back on his word and not go to the Holy See, then even with Yan Qian, the Southern Region Domain Lord, here, the Night Queen still has the confidence to take Lu Li back to the Eastern Region.

However, based on her understanding of Lu Li, since Lu Li agreed to the promise with Yan Yuexin at the beginning, he would not easily break it!

And if Lu Li were unwilling, he would not have agreed to the invitation from Yan Yuexin and Lan Lan Lan Xiatong from the start; her student is not the type of person who makes promises to others casually.

The gazes of two Undying-realm Domain Lords, plus one Immortal-realm Academy Head, landed on him; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably be too nervous to speak by now.

Even Yan Yuexin felt that things seemed to be getting more and more serious. Although, until now, she still did not know why it had turned out like this.

"Don't worry, Domain Lord Yan Qian, it's just going to the Holy See, not climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire," but for Lu Li, he did not feel much pressure and still maintained a calm and composed expression: "Besides, this Finish Finish Time going to the Holy See, I am just a supporting character and a guardian knight; Lady Saintess is the protagonist."

After speaking, Lu Li even winked at Yan Yuexin again, indicating that others did not need to worry too much.

Nonsense, he had already met two Supremes; even individually, the pressure from a Supreme is much stronger than this lineup.

Besides, the Night Queen is one of his own; the offense and defense between him and her during this period were not a waste of Finish Finish Time.

At the very least, for the current Lu Li, the Night Queen can no longer bring him much pressure.

Therefore, the only ones on the scene who could really put pressure on Lu Li are Yan Qian and Lan Lan Lan Xiatong.

As for Yan Yuexin, Lu Li directly ignored this girl. It would be good enough if he didn't bring pressure to her.

Unfortunately, this action of Lu Li's drew an eye-roll from Yan Yuexin.

Even if her reaction were slower, she could tell from the conversation of the few that Lu Li's identity was definitely not as simple as just being the Night Queen's student.

Unfortunately, neither Yan Qian nor Lan Lan Lan Xiatong told her their thoughts. As for the Night Queen and Lu Li, looking at the situation, they didn't seem to have any intention of revealing the mystery.

Therefore, even if teased by Lu Li now, besides rolling her eyes, Yan Yuexin couldn't think of any other expression to express her thoughts.
