Chapter 38

This also made Miao Ruoling understand even more that Lu Li was absolutely not ordinary. After all, the original Youth Training Competition quota did not have the other party; Lu Li's quota was added by Yu Haojia after removing a War General Realm participating contestant.

This shows that in Yu Haojia's view, Lu Li's strength is stronger than the originally selected participating contestant. But is this possible? After all, Lu Li is only a student and hasn't even taken the college entrance exam yet.

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

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

"No, nothing," noticing her gaffe, Miao Ruoling's face flashed with an alluring blush again: "The president and others are in the office; I will take you there now."

As the words fell, 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 Ruoling felt that Lu Li would definitely misunderstand her, and maybe even treat her as a pervert.

"Trouble you." Although noticing that 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 president's office?" Seeing Miao Ruoling taking Lu Li into the depths of the association, the curiosity in everyone's eyes became even stronger.

Could it be that their previous speculation was wrong? Miao Ruoling is actually not robbing the cradle?

But no matter what, everyone was even more curious about Lu Li's identity; after all, being able to let Miao Ruoling, the president's secretary, wait and welcome personally was enough to show that the other party's identity was extraordinary.

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

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

Seeing this, everyone could only take back their curious eyes; they were not qualified to enter the depths of the association..

69. Is This a Hidden Big Shot?

Cangling City Magic Card Association, branch president's office, several young people sat upright; although their strength had reached the War General Realm, in front of Yu Haojia, a Sovereign Realm master who was a full few realms higher, no one dared to have the slightest slack.

Especially since Yu Haojia is the branch president of the Cangling City Magic Card Association, and they are just newcomers to the Magic Card Association; if they can perform well enough and leave a good impression on this Sovereign, it will be of great benefit to their development in Cangling City in the future.

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

"Alright, you don't have to be so nervous," seeming to notice the state of the crowd, Yu Haojia said: "Wait for Lu Li to arrive, and we will set off for Cangdu."

Hearing 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 Competition should be Zhao Shi, but the person they were waiting for turned out to be Lu Li; could it be that he was replaced? Zhao Shi replaced by Lu Li?

Regarding this, they didn't have too many thoughts; after all, arranging who to participate in the Youth Training Competition is the association's decision.

It's just that this Lu Li is really big-name enough, actually letting so many people, especially Yu Haojia, wait for him together.

Even if it wasn't the agreed departure time yet, they all came to the association early, worrying that coming late would leave a bad impression on Yu Haojia.

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

At this moment, everyone's heart couldn't help but rise with the idea of watching a show. Although they represented the Cangling City Magic Card Association to participate in the Youth Training Competition, in fact, weren't they also in a competitive relationship among themselves?

Knock knock knock!

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

Lu Li, who followed Miao Ruoling, saw several young men and women in the office besides Yu Haojia and didn't feel surprised. It was impossible for only him to participate in the Youth Training Competition as a representative.

"Here?" Seeing this, Yu Haojia couldn't help but tease: "I thought you forgot the time and were preparing to send someone to let Secretary Miao pick you up."

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

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

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

If he were just a newcomer participating in the Youth Training Competition like them, there would be no need for Miao Ruoling to receive him.

Miao Ruoling possesses the strength of the Monarch Realm and is also Yu Haojia's secretary; her status and strength in the Cangling City branch are, even if not at the first-line level, almost the same, but now she is doing reception work.

This move of Miao Ruoling was clearly instructed by Yu Haojia.

And next, Yu Haojia's attitude toward Lu Li further verified this; his attitude toward Lu Li was much more intimate than toward them!

For a time, everyone put away the idea of watching a show, and the eyes looking at Lu Li carried faint curiosity and vigilance; they could be sure that Lu Li's identity was definitely not simple. Maybe Lu Li was even related to some big shot!

"Alright, since the personnel are all here, it's time for us to set off." Seeming not to notice the changes in the crowd, Yu Haojia stood up: "Ruoling, during the time I'm away, the association's affairs will be handled by the vice president and you. If there are any decisions that cannot be handled, you can contact me directly."

"I understand, President." Miao Ruoling nodded.

……

"Chirp!"

The huge Cold Cloud Sparrow chirped, its huge wings flapping and rising from the ground, flying up from behind the Magic Card Association and flying toward the direction of Cangdu, attracting everyone's attention.

Cold Cloud Sparrow; back then, Lin Heling and his party from Cangyue City took this Magic Card spirit to Cangling City for exchange, and then were cleaned up by Lu Li one-on-five.

This time, the group from Cangling City also took the Cold Cloud Sparrow to Cangdu.

"Comes with seat ventilation?" Sitting on the Cold Cloud Sparrow and 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?" On the side, hearing Lu Li's evaluation of the Cold Cloud Sparrow, Yu Haojia was a bit dumbfounded.

Magic Card civilization also has mechanical creations; he naturally knows what the so-called seat ventilation means.

Even one of the twelve cities of the ancient kingdom has a city dominated by constructing mechanical Magic Cards—the City of Tools!

In the City of Tools, Magic Cards with mechanical characteristics are the mainstream made by Magic Card masters there, and the development speed and scale are not inferior to the other eleven cities.

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

After all, Lu Li was not wrong; at this moment, Yu Haojia's face couldn't help but become subtle.

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

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

Going to Cangdu to participate in the Youth Training Competition naturally wouldn't have only Cang Fenghua leading the team; there were also many Magic Card Association staff accompanying.

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

Now seeing Lu Li, a newcomer, talking and laughing with Yu Haojia, besides envy, there was more or less a bad taste in their hearts.

As for the newcomers participating in the Youth Training Competition, they were also full of complexity; they also wanted to talk to 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 is only a six-star Magic Card spirit, its flight speed is definitely not slow, its maximum speed even exceeding the fighter jets of Lu Li's previous life, and it is more persistent in endurance; as long as there is enough mana to maintain it, it can maintain its best state.

But even so, as time passed, the group from Cangling City also spent nearly an hour before finally arriving in the suburbs of Cangdu before dark.

This can only be said that the territory of Cangdu is far wider than imagined..

70. Fat Water Flows to Outsiders

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

"Chirp!" Getting Yu Haojia's instruction, the Cold Cloud Sparrow let out a crisp chirp, circled, and landed in the suburbs of Cangdu.

"Cangdu is one of the twelve cities of the ancient kingdom, and also the jurisdiction of an Immortal Realm Magic Card master," seeing everyone's confusion, 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 master of the City Mansion, you will only end up being shot down if you fly in the airspace over the city."

"If you are unlucky, you will also be treated as a terrorist and cleaned up without a word." At the end, 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 killing disaster because of this, nor did he want Cangling City to become a laughing stock because of this.

"Hiss!" Hearing Yu Haojia's warning, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath; they really didn't expect there to be such rules.

Among the group from Cangling City, the strongest Yu Haojia is only in the Sovereign Realm. The Sovereign Realm might be able to dominate a satellite city, but when it comes to a higher-level city, it is a bit short.

Not to mention that there are stronger Immortal Realm powerhouses in the city; it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Seeing everyone's performance in his eyes, Yu Haojia nodded imperceptibly, and then led everyone into Cangdu.

But the moment they entered Cangdu, everyone threw Yu Haojia's words just now to the back of their minds and was shocked by the scene in front of them.

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

Especially since it is evening now, even though the main road is three to four times wider than Cangling City, the endless stream of pedestrians still fills the entire main road, and the whole Cangdu is 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 time to participate in the Youth Training Competition; if they want to stroll around, they can only wait until after the Youth Training Competition ends.

Not long after, Lu Li and others followed Yu Haojia to the Cangdu headquarters of the ancient kingdom's Magic Card Association, located in the center of Cangdu.

The overall architectural style of the Cangdu headquarters is similar to the Cangling City Magic Card Association, but the decoration and appearance of the Cangdu headquarters look more solemn and noble, bringing great shock to everyone.

"Old Yu, you just arrived too?" Just as the group from Cangling City was looking at the Cangdu headquarters, a resonant voice rang out, like an ancient bell, attracting everyone's attention.

Turning their heads to look, a middle-aged man of the same age as 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 Competition.

"Old Song, what a coincidence?" Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Haojia flashed surprise, but still nodded, and then introduced to everyone: "This is the president of the Cangyue City Magic Card Association, Song Yongzhang."

Cangyue City? Hearing Yu Haojia's introduction, Lu Li couldn't help but think of the exchange competition some time ago, but it seems that the Magic Card associations of the two cities are not as deep in conflict as the City Lord's Mansion and the school.

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

Liu Yanran!

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

If there is anything that left the deepest impression on Lu Li in the exchange competition back then, besides the special prop Moon Spirit Ring, it was Liu Yanran.

To be precise, it was the combination of Liu Yanran's Silver Moon Fox and Nebula Rainbow Pattern Butterfly back then that left him with quite a few impressions.

As for Liu Yanran appearing in the Cangyue City team, Lu Li didn't feel too surprised. He had understood before that as long as a five-star Magic Card is made, the conditions for joining the Magic Card Association are met.

And Liu Yanran had already summoned the six-star Silver Moon Fox in the exchange competition; it was naturally impossible for the other party not to have passed the Magic Card Association's assessment.
