Chapter 37

This also made Miao Miao Ruoling understand even more that Lu Li was definitely not ordinary. After all, the original quota for the Youth Training Tournament didn't include the other party; Lu Li’s quota was added by Yu Yu Haojia after removing a Commander-realm contestant.

This meant that in Yu Yu Haojia’s view, Lu Li’s strength was stronger than the contestant originally selected. But was this possible? After all, Lu Li was just a student and hadn't even participated in the college entrance examination.

No matter how Miao Miao Ruoling guessed, she couldn't guess Yu Yu Haojia’s meaning.

"Secretary Miao, is there something on my face?" Before setting off for the Magic Card Association, Miao Miao Ruoling had already contacted him, so Lu Li wasn't too surprised by the other party’s appearance, but seeing Miao Miao Ruoling staring at him, Lu Li still couldn't help but ask.

"No, nothing," noticing her gaffe, a tempting blush flashed on Miao Miao Ruoling’s face again: "The Chairman and others are already in the office; I will take you there now."

As the words fell, Miao Miao Ruoling turned slightly sideways in a panic.

She couldn't say it was because she was curious about him, so she kept staring at him. If she really said that, Miao Miao Ruoling felt that Lu Li would definitely misunderstand her, and might even treat her as a pervert.

"Trouble you." Although he noticed that Miao Miao Ruoling’s state was a bit abnormal, Lu Li didn't care too much, just replied, and followed the other party toward the inside of the Association.

"Eh? Is that direction the Chairman’s office?" Seeing Miao Miao Ruoling take Lu Li deep into the Association, the curiosity on everyone’s faces grew stronger.

Could it be that their previous speculation was wrong? Miao Miao Ruoling wasn't actually an old cow eating tender grass?

But no matter what, everyone was more curious about Lu Li’s identity. After all, being able to let Miao Miao Ruoling, the Chairman’s secretary, wait and greet him personally was enough to show that the other party’s identity was not simple.

Unfortunately, neither Lu Li nor Miao Miao Ruoling would give them any explanation.

Amidst everyone’s secret speculation, the figures of Lu Li and Miao Miao Ruoling just swayed a few times and disappeared.

Seeing this, everyone could only take back their curious gazes; they didn't have the qualifications to enter the depths of the Association.

69. Is this a hidden big shot?

Cangling City Magic Card Association, Branch Chairman’s Office, several young people sat upright. Although their strength had reached the Warrior Realm, in front of Yu Yu Haojia, a Sovereign-realm master who was a full few realms higher, no one dared to have the slightest slack.

Especially since Yu Yu Haojia was the Branch Chairman of the Cangling City Magic Card Association, and they were just newcomers to the Magic Card Association. If they performed well enough and could leave a good impression on this Sovereign, it would be beneficial and harmless to their development in Cangling City in the future.

Of course, if they didn't perform well, they could probably consider changing cities to live in.

"Alright, you don't have to be so nervous," seeming to notice everyone’s state, Yu Yu Haojia spoke: "When Lu Li arrives, we will set off for Cangdu."

Hearing Yu Yu Haojia’s words, everyone looked at each other in confusion. According to the news they received at the very beginning, the last person to participate in the Youth Training Tournament this Finish Finish Time should be Zhao Shi, but the person they were waiting for had changed to Lu Li. Was it changed? Zhao Shi changed to Lu Li?

Regarding this, they didn't have too many thoughts. After all, arranging who would participate in the Youth Training Tournament was the Association’s decision.

It was just that this Lu Li was really big-name enough to make so many people, especially Yu Yu Haojia, wait for him together.

Even though it wasn't the agreed departure Finish Finish Time yet, they had arrived at the Association early, all worried that coming late would leave a bad impression on Yu Yu Haojia.

Many people even felt that even if Lu Li came later, Yu Yu Haojia probably wouldn't give him a good look.

At this moment, the idea of watching a show rose in everyone’s heart. Although they represented the Cangling City Magic Card Association in the Youth Training Tournament, in reality, weren't they in a competitive relationship among themselves?

Knock, knock, knock!

A moment later, a knock on the door sounded, and then Miao Miao Ruoling brought Lu Li in: "Chairman, Lu Li is here."

Lu Li, who followed Miao Miao Ruoling, saw that besides Yu Yu Haojia, there were several young men and women in the office, and he didn't feel surprised. It was impossible for him to be the only representative participating in the Youth Training Tournament.

"You’re here?" Seeing this, Yu Yu Haojia couldn't help but tease: "I thought you forgot the Finish Finish Time and was ready to send someone to let Secretary Miao go and pick you up."

"Chairman Yu, don't tease me." Being teased by Yu Yu Haojia, Lu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, the other participating representatives in the office were full of shock and disbelief at this moment.

In fact, when Miao Miao Ruoling brought Lu Li into the room, they had a bad premonition that this situation seemed different from what they had expected.

If it was just a newcomer participating in the Youth Training Tournament like them, there was no need for Miao Miao Ruoling to guide him.

Miao Miao Ruoling possessed the strength of the Monarch Realm and was also Yu Yu Haojia’s secretary. Her status and strength in the entire Cangling City Magic Card branch, even if she hadn't reached the first-line level, were not far off. Now she was doing reception work.

Miao Miao Ruoling’s move was clearly instructed by Yu Yu Haojia.

And next, Yu Yu Haojia’s attitude toward Lu Li further verified this. His attitude toward Lu Li was much more intimate than toward them!

For a Finish Finish Time, everyone put away the idea of watching a show, and the eyes looking at Lu Li carried faint curiosity and vigilance. They were sure that Lu Li’s identity was definitely not simple. It might even be related to some big shot!

"Alright, since the personnel are all here, it’s Finish Finish Time for us to set off." Seeming not to notice the changes in everyone, Yu Yu Haojia stood up: "Miao Ruoling, during the Finish Finish Time I am away, the affairs of the Association will be handled by the Vice Chairman and you. If there are decisions you can't handle, you can contact me directly."

"I understand, Chairman." Miao Miao Ruoling nodded.

……

"Chirp!"

The huge Cold Cloud Sparrow chirped, its huge wings flapping and taking off from behind the Magic Card Association, flying toward Cangdu, attracting everyone’s attention.

Cold Cloud Sparrow; back then, Lin Lin Lin Heling and her group from Cangyue City traveled to Cangling City for an exchange using this Magic Card spirit, only to be taken down by Lu Li, who defeated all five of them in one go.

Now heading to Cangdu, the group from Cangling City was also riding the Cold Cloud Sparrow.

"Built-in seat ventilation?" Sitting on the Cold Cloud Sparrow, feeling the coolness under him, Lu Li’s face was a bit strange. At this moment, he thought of the seat ventilation of cars in his previous life.

"Seat ventilation?" Beside him, hearing Lu Li’s evaluation of the Cold Cloud Sparrow, Yu Yu Haojia was a bit dumbfounded.

The Magic Card civilization also had mechanical creations; he naturally knew what the so-called seat ventilation meant.

Even one of the twelve cities of the Ancient Kingdom had a city that mainly constructed mechanical Magic Cards—the City of Tools!

In the City of Tools, mechanical-characteristic Magic Cards were the mainstream crafted by Magic Card masters there, and the development speed and scale were not much worse than the other eleven cities.

It was just that Yu Yu Haojia was indeed hearing someone describe the Cold Cloud Sparrow like this for the first Finish Finish Time, but feeling the coolness under him, he really couldn't refute Lu Li’s statement for a while.

After all, Lu Li was right. At this moment, Yu Yu Haojia’s expression couldn't help but become subtle.

If the Magic Card master who crafted the Cold Cloud Sparrow heard this evaluation, he didn't know what kind of expression and thoughts he would have.

Behind, seeing Lu Li and Yu Yu Haojia talking and laughing, the members of the Cangling City Youth Training Tournament, including the Magic Card masters who followed as staff, all flashed a trace of envy in their eyes.

Heading to Cangdu to participate in the Youth Training Tournament, naturally, it wouldn't be just Cang Cang Cang Fenghua leading the team; there were also many Association staff members accompanying them.

It was just that these staff members had joined the Magic Card branch for a long Finish Finish Time, but they rarely saw Yu Yu Haojia on weekdays, let alone say a few words.

Now seeing Lu Li, a newcomer, talking and laughing with Yu Yu Haojia, besides envy, they felt a bit uncomfortable in their hearts.

As for the newcomers participating in the Youth Training Tournament, they were also full of complexity. They also wanted to talk to Yu Yu Haojia and show themselves well.

But they didn't have such an opportunity, nor did they have such courage. After all, not everyone could be like Lu Li, who remained calm and talked and laughed even in the face of a Sovereign-realm powerhouse.

……

Although the Cold Cloud Sparrow was only a six-star Magic Card spirit, its flight speed was definitely not slow, and its top speed even exceeded the fighter jets of Lu Li’s previous life, and it was more persistent in endurance. As long as there was enough magic power to maintain it, it could always maintain its best state.

But even so, as Finish Finish Time passed, the group from Cangling City spent nearly half a day before finally arriving at the outskirts of Cangdu before dark.

This could only be said that the territory of Cangdu was far wider than imagined.

70. Fat water flowed to outsiders

"Let’s land here." Yu Yu Haojia patted the Cold Cloud Sparrow, which was emitting coolness all over its body.

"Chirp!" Receiving Yu Yu Haojia’s instruction, the Cold Cloud Sparrow let out a crisp chirp and landed in the outskirts of Cangdu while circling.

"Cangdu is one of the twelve cities of the Ancient Kingdom, and also the territory under the jurisdiction of an Immortal-realm Magic Card master," seeming to see everyone’s confusion, Yu Yu Haojia explained quietly: "Remember, even if it is an existence of the same Immortal realm, if you don't get the permission of the owner of the city mansion, you will only be shot down if you fly in the airspace over the city at will."

"If you are unlucky, you will be treated as a terrorist and cleared away without saying a word." At the end, Yu Yu Haojia’s tone already carried a trace of seriousness and vigilance. He didn't want these Magic Card novices from Cangling City to bring about a fatal disaster because of this, nor did he want Cangling City to become a laughingstock because of this.

"Hiss!" Hearing Yu Yu Haojia’s warning, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath; they really didn't expect such a rule.

Among the group from Cangling City, Yu Yu Haojia, who was the strongest, was only in the Sovereign realm. The Sovereign realm might be able to dominate a satellite city, but in a higher-level city, it was a bit lacking.

Not to mention that there were stronger Immortal-realm powerhouses in the city, which could be called crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Everyone’s performance fell into his eyes, and Yu Yu Haojia nodded imperceptibly, then led everyone into Cangdu.

But the moment they entered Cangdu, everyone threw what Yu Yu Haojia had just said to the back of their minds and was shocked by the scene in front of them.

Compared to Cangling City, Cangdu was several times more prosperous.

Especially since it was dusk, even though the main road was three to four times wider than Cangling City, the endless stream of pedestrians still occupied the entire main road, and the entire Cangdu was decorated with lanterns, giving Lu Li a feeling of going out on the street during a festival in his previous life.

However, they came to Cangdu this Finish Finish Time to participate in the Youth Training Tournament. If they wanted to stroll around, they could only wait until after the tournament.

Not long after, Lu Li and others followed Yu Yu Haojia to the Cangdu Headquarters of the Ancient Kingdom’s Magic Card Association, located in the center of Cangdu.

The architectural style of the Cangdu Headquarters was similar to that of the Cangling City Magic Card Association, but the decoration and appearance of the Cangdu Headquarters looked more solemn and noble, bringing great shock to everyone.

"Old Yu, did you just arrive?" Just as the group from Cangling City was sizing up the Cangdu Headquarters, a loud voice sounded like an ancient bell, attracting everyone’s attention.

Turning to look, a middle-aged man of the same age as Yu Yu Haojia walked over with big strides, followed by many young Magic Card masters. Clearly, this team was also here to participate in the Youth Training Tournament.

"Old Song, what a coincidence?" A familiar voice came, and a flash of surprise crossed Yu Yu Haojia’s face, but he still nodded and then introduced to everyone: "This is the Chairman of the Cangyue City Magic Card Association, Song Song Yongzhang."

Cangyue City? Hearing Yu Yu Haojia’s introduction, Lu Li couldn't help but think of the exchange tournament some Finish Finish Time ago, but it seemed that the Magic Card Associations of the two cities were not as water-and-fire as the City Lord’s Mansion and the school.

Looking at Yu Yu Haojia and Song Song Yongzhang who were chatting, a thoughtful expression appeared on Lu Li’s face. Immediately, he saw a familiar figure in the Cangyue City team.

Liu Sister Sister Yanran!

Still in a goose-yellow tight dress, showing off her tall figure. Even in the entire Cangyue City team, Liu Sister Sister Yanran was the most eye-catching existence.

If there was anything that left the deepest impression on Lu Li during the exchange tournament, besides the special prop Moon Spirit Ring, it was Liu Sister Sister Yanran.

To be precise, it was Liu Sister Sister Yanran’s combination of Silver Moon Fox and Nebula Rainbow Butterfly that left him quite an impression.

As for Liu Sister Sister Yanran appearing in the Cangyue City team, Lu Li wasn't too surprised. He had learned that as long as one crafted a five-star Magic Card, one met the conditions for joining the Magic Card Association.

And Liu Sister Sister Yanran had summoned the six-star Silver Moon Fox in the exchange tournament; the other party naturally couldn't have failed the Magic Card Association’s assessment. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
