Chapter 299

Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't help but be amused; this girl had quite a lot of drama in her.

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

Although she had never met Meng Chuyun, Shangguan Wan'er, or the others, at this moment, she had the exact same thought as them: she wanted to bite Lu Li hard to vent the resentment in her heart.

563. The more you know, the more you panic

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

It seemed this precious granddaughter of his was showing such great interest and concern for a member of the opposite sex for the first time.

If Lu Li were a Magic Card Master belonging to the Northern or Western Territories, Hearing Yan Qian felt he could have used a "honey trap." After all, since ancient times, heroes have struggled to pass the beauty trial; this saying was just as applicable in the Magic Card civilization.

Of course, that was also because the two Domain Lords of the Western and Southern Territories had no presentable candidates.

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

But beauty is also subject to comparison; one doesn't fear not knowing the goods, but rather comparing goods! This saying was equally applicable in the Magic Card civilization.

Yan Yuexin's looks were already very impressive; there were indeed few peers who could surpass her in this aspect.

But, that was only limited to her peers.

Especially since this time, the opponent was the Night Queen!

In front of the fully matured Night Queen, to put it bluntly, Yan Yuexin really couldn't compare.

On this point, even as Yan Yuexin's great-grandfather, Hearing Yan Qian had to admit it.

Besides, the Night Queen's strength was not inferior to his own, and was perhaps even a notch stronger. Good heavens, this was a total crushing in both strength and beauty.

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

But after thinking about it, Hearing Yan Qian felt that was even more impossible; after all, he knew the Supreme's plan, and the other party likely didn't have such thoughts.

Moreover, now was not a suitable time.

Although he was very envious and jealous in his heart, and indeed wanted to lure Lu Li to the Southern Territory.

Look, the Eastern Territory already possessed the Night Queen, an original Magic Card creator; wouldn't having Lu Li come to their Southern Territory to increase the friendship between the two great territories be a joyous development?

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

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

If Hearing Yan Qian dared to propose this, the Night Queen might immediately take Lu Li and run away.

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

If he were in the Night Queen's position, he would absolutely not let Lu Li leave either.

It's just that, compared to this, there was another point currently more important and in need of resolution.

Knowing Lu Li possessed the identity of an original Magic Card creator, Hearing Yan Qian had to consider whether to let Lu Li accompany the team to the Holy See this time, or to change candidates directly.

Although changing candidates at the last minute would definitely affect the subsequent trip to the Holy See, they actually had some other candidates before approaching Lu Li.

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

However, looking at it now, Lu Li's appearance is a mix of joy and worry.

In front of Lu Li, the originally scheduled candidates are left with nothing but the outcome of being crushed; among candidates of the same age, no one can reach this height that Lu Li has attained.

Not to mention, once Lu Li's identity as an original Magic Card creator is revealed, the others have even less comparability.

But it is precisely because of this identity that Hearing Yan Qian cannot help but reconsider whether or not to change the candidate.

This time, it involves the Holy See, so he still wants to be a bit more cautious.

After all, even if the Eastern Region and Southern Region fight to the death, Lu Li ultimately still belongs to the Magic Card creators of the Ancient Kingdom; this point is the major premise for everything.

It is unlikely that the struggle between the Eastern and Southern Regions would end up forcing Lu Li to leave the Ancient Kingdom.

However, the Holy See and the Ancient Kingdom are different; they belong to two different factions.

Both sides are nations that possess Supreme Realm experts in the current generation, and they are also in a competitive relationship with each other.

If the Holy See knew that Lu Li possessed the identity of an original Magic Card creator, I am afraid they would not let Lu Li leave safely so easily.

Regarding this point, both Hearing Yan Qian and Lan Lan Xiatong feel that the possibility is not low.

After all, even as fellow Domain Lords of the Ancient Kingdom, Hearing Yan Qian cannot help but set his sights on Lu Li, let alone the people of the Holy See.

Even though Hearing Yan Qian and Lan Lan Xiatong will both set off this time, the two of them truly have no way to guarantee Lu Li's safety one hundred percent.

After all, the ones participating in the inheritance trial at that time will be Lu Li and Yan Yuexin, not them. No one knows what little tricks the Holy See might pull at that time.

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

What the two of them are truly worried about is how to safely take Lu Li away if the Holy See finds out about his identity.

Perhaps in the eyes of many, the King Realm is already very powerful, and the limit that ordinary Magic Card creators can reach is merely King; yet Lu Li is now a Limit King who can step into the Emperor Realm at any time.

But in the eyes of Lan Lan Xiatong and Hearing Yan Qian, a King Realm Magic Card creator is actually equivalent to just having entered the door. As for those who haven't even reached King, that doesn't even count as entering the door.

Especially in battles at the level of top powerhouses, there isn't much difference between a King and cannon fodder. Even Emperor Realm experts don't rank high.

Without Sovereign Realm strength, one cannot even protect oneself in the battles of top powerhouses.

And in the eyes of Lan Lan Xiatong and Hearing Yan Qian, if Lu Li can grow up in the future, he will inevitably be among that small group at the very top of the pyramid, but he does not have that qualification right now.

Although changing the candidate temporarily will more or less affect the upcoming itinerary, it is still better than exposing Lu Li right now, after all, he has not fully grown up yet.

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

Even if they continue to proceed according to the original plan in the end, they must increase the level of importance they place on Lu Li.

For the safety of her student, the Night Queen has also taken great pains this time, but Hearing Yan Qian has no way to say anything to her.

If it were him, he might do something even more ruthless than the Night Queen! He would directly forbid Lu Li from joining 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 Hearing Yan Qian guessed, the Night Queen specifically pointing out that Lu Li is an original Magic Card creator like herself is 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 attention from Hearing Yan Qian and Lan Lan Xiatong during the upcoming trip to the Holy See.

Even if the people of the Holy See want to set their sights on Lu Li at that time, Hearing Yan Qian will not let them succeed so easily.

Otherwise, she would have no need to announce the identity of an original Magic Card creator; just being her student, while this identity has weight, still cannot compare to an original Magic Card creator.

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

Compared to outsiders, the Night Queen naturally trusts her own people more, and regarding this point, she had already let Sister Daji accompany him at the very beginning; Sister Daji is the trump card she truly hid.

The remade Sister Daji is undoubtedly one of the Night Queen's strongest Magic Cards at the current stage, and Sister Daji's abilities are all-encompassing; 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 herself and Lu Li!

Besides this, there is one more point.

That is, during the time Lu Li stayed in the Northern Region, she once sought out the Supreme, Tai Yin You Ying! 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 confidence!

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

Although she made quite a few 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 if Hearing Yan Qian, this Southern Region Domain Lord, is 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 agreement with Yan Yuexin at the beginning, he will not easily break it!

And if Lu Li were unwilling, then from the very beginning, he would not have accepted the invitation from Yan Yuexin and Lan Lan Xiatong; this student of hers is not the type of person who would casually make agreements with others.

……

With the gazes of two Undying Realm Domain Lords and one Immortal Realm Mansion Master falling 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 becoming increasingly serious. Although she still doesn't know why things turned out like this even now.

"No need to worry, Domain Lord Hearing Yan Qian, it's just going to the Holy See, not climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire," however, for Lu Li, he didn't feel too much pressure and still maintained a calm and composed expression: "Besides, this time going to the Holy See, I am just acting as a supporting role and a guardian knight; Lady Saintess is the protagonist."

After speaking, Lu Li even blinked at Yan Yuexin again, indicating that the others don't need to worry too much.

Nonsense, he has already seen two Supremes; even if it were just one, the pressure of a Supreme is much stronger than this lineup.

Besides, the Night Queen is on his side; the offense and defense between him and the other party during this period of time were not a waste of time.

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

Therefore, among those present, the only ones who can truly give Lu Li pressure are Hearing Yan Qian and Lan Lan Xiatong.

As for Yan Yuexin, Lu Li directly ignored this girl. It's already good enough that he doesn't bring pressure to the other party.

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

Even if her reaction is slow, she can tell from the conversation of the few that Lu Li's identity is absolutely not just as simple as the Night Queen's student.

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

Therefore, even if he is teased by Lu Li now, besides making an eye-rolling expression, Yan Yuexin can't think of any other expression to express her thoughts.
