Chapter 124: Envy, the Great Li Princess's Doubts

Everyone felt this was a great fortune.

Just a true disciple of a great sect.

Compared to being able to follow beside the Divine Son of the Ancient Lu Family, it amounts to nothing.

On this point, their thoughts are basically the same.

So they envy, and thus their inner hopes grow stronger.

It would be great if they themselves could also be chosen.

But in reality.

Everyone also clearly knows that Tuoba Yun has already taken one spot, leaving only one person left.

Unavoidably, some people have already started to feel nervous, thinking there is surely no hope.

Especially that pair of sisters, their complexion began to turn even more gloomy.

The elder sister doubted even more what their father had said before.

Saying that the two of them had exceptionally special talent.

Now it seems.

It seems not at all like that.

The younger sister's little face was also quite tense, both hands beginning to tremble.

Present, only the Great Li Dynasty's Xiao Yanran remained, her eyes still showing confidence.

Because she saw Tuoba Yun being selected, while she herself, in terms of talent, is absolutely not inferior to him.

She believed she would obtain that final spot.

There would certainly be no problem.

And at this moment.

Lu Zhangsheng, after having chosen one person, once again turned his gaze toward those people.

Still the same as before, he could hardly find anyone with extraordinarily outstanding talent, at least in his view.

Of course, Lu Zhangsheng also clearly understands that these people before him, if placed outside, are all quite outstanding, but compared to truly mighty Heavenly Pride, they fall far short.

This is also normal; although the world is vast and cultivators countless, not every one can be an existence watched by myriad people.

So his interest is not as high as it was at first, and his gaze has become rather bland.

Thus, his gaze came to rest upon Xiao Yanran of the Great Li Dynasty.

A phantom of a Divine Phoenix.

Appeared upon her body.

Carrying a scorching aura, like molten magma.

This is what Lu Zhangsheng saw with his Ancient Double Pupils.

Indeed.

Such talent is quite outstanding.

Even looking around at everyone present, it absolutely counts as standing out like a crane among chickens.

Only a pity, it seems still lacking a bit.

Lu Zhangsheng let out a slight sigh.

Then he directly moved his gaze away.

Opposite side.

Originally, because she was being gazed at, and the gaze lingered a bit longer.

Xiao Yanran's heart began to pound violently, excitement nearly uncontrollable, feeling that becoming a follower would certainly pose no problem, and that she would soon be favored by the Lu Family Divine Son and obtain that great fortune.

But when Lu Zhangsheng shifted his gaze away, she instantly went blank, frozen stiff.

She completely didn't understand what had happened, nor did she know what was going on.

Her whole person felt as if fallen into an ice cellar, unable to speak.

"No, impossible."

"My talent is outstanding; I am a noble lady in the eyes of outsiders."

"Even the Divine Son of an ancient aristocratic house should favor me, right?"

At this moment, Xiao Yanran had various thoughts arise in her mind, muttering to herself: "It must be that the Divine Son Lord hasn't considered it clearly yet, is still making a decision; it must be like this, I just need to wait."

She comforted herself this way, believing it impossible not to be selected.

After all, even Tuoba Yun succeeded.

In all aspects.

Are roughly the same as her.

Since such a standard exists, she definitely has no problem.

The more Xiao Yanran thought, the more she felt this way, repeatedly thinking that she was indeed not not selected.

However.

When Lu Zhangsheng moved his gaze away from her, he never turned back, continuing to survey the surrounding people, and the longer this lasted.

Her inner panic grew more and more, her complexion began to turn deathly pale.

Until finally.

Suddenly a voice sounded out.

"Are you two sisters? Come out so I can take a look."

It was Lu Zhangsheng speaking, his eyes directly fixed on those dressed ordinarily.

And even compared to the others, the two persons who seemed somewhat out of place.

A pair of sisters, the older sister is about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The younger sister is only seven or eight years old.

Those people around, upon hearing this voice, also all cast curious looks.

Looking at the two sisters, they were instantly puzzled, seeming to not understand at all.

Why would the Divine Son of the Lu Family pay attention to them?

And those two sisters.

Upon hearing their names called, they instantly trembled all over.

Then they walked out trembling, and even the older sister, who was a bit more mature, had a gaze that became somewhat timid.

Because in such a situation, being stared at by so many people, she had never experienced it before.

On the contrary, the younger sister, seemingly because she is not yet sensible,

appears not to be afraid.

Above.

Lu Zhangsheng standing on the clouds, after seeing the two sisters walk out,

In his eyes, rays of light surged, and his expression was no longer as calm as before.

Instead, he showed considerable interest, as if he had discovered something quite different.

Beside them, some members of the Lu Family, seeing this scene, all felt curious, for they had never seen the Divine Son show such an expression before, and they also felt that the two sisters seemed to be chosen.

As expected, Lu Zhangsheng's face broke into a smile, and he then said: "Not bad, you two come with me."

Just as his words fell, the two sisters widened their eyes, feeling as if they might have misheard.

Especially the older sister, her face flushed red, and she began to tremble.

She directly pinched her own arm.

After feeling the pain,

she was instantly shocked, and immediately felt like she wanted to speak her thanks.

But she found that, being too excited, she could not speak, nor could she move her feet.

This also made her more anxious, yet the more anxious she became, the less she could do anything.

The younger sister, who is seven or eight years old, after noticing her sister's abnormality,

immediately hurried forward, faced Lu Zhangsheng, and bowed directly: "Yes, Divine Son Lord."

Such an endearing appearance caused the distant Tuoba Yun, who had already been selected, to instantly show a smile.

However,

He felt a bit strange.

Because he could not see at all.

What special quality these two sisters might have.

And above, Lu Zhangsheng said nothing, immediately preparing to turn and enter the carriage.

This scene made everyone's hearts instantly feel loss and disappointment, for it meant that this round of selecting followers had completely ended.

You should know, some people had come by various teleportation formations, crossing endless distances just to get here.

But now, it will be over soon, and naturally no one feels good about it in their hearts.

But thinking that the Lu Family still has a compensation plan afterward,

it still balances things considerably.

However,

This does not mean that everyone present will choose to accept it.

For example, Xiao Yanran, looking at that pair of sisters, had eyes filled with immense doubt.

"Have I been passed over, or did I lose to these two?" She could not believe it.

She immediately gathered her courage and walked straight out.

Facing Lu Zhangsheng above, she first performed a salute, then spoke: "Divine Son Lord, I have a question; may I ask for clarification?"
