Northern Song Imperial Palace.

Emperor Song Song Huizong Zhao Ji felt a surge of great interest after seeing Li Li Xunhuan on the list.

Being able to become the third-place graduate of the Great Ming's palace examination proved that Li Li Xunhuan's level of scholarship was extremely impressive.

Being a late-stage Grandmaster martial artist, his martial arts attainments were also not low.

This was truly a case of being accomplished in both literature and martial arts.

"The Great Ming Dynasty is truly full of talent to have produced a figure like Li Li Xunhuan."

"Minister Huang, have you ever heard of this person, Li Li Xunhuan, before?"

Zhao Ji asked Huang Shang, who was standing to the side, impatiently.

He now wanted to know everything there was to know about Li Li Xunhuan.

Previously, Zhao Ji had always felt that those on the list were just crude martial artists.

Now, seeing Li Li Xunhuan, Zhao Ji's view of the Heaven's Pride Ranking changed slightly.

He even had the thought that if there were a calligraphy ranking in the future, he might be able to take first place.

"I have heard of him; he is indeed a handsome man."

"It is rumored that the Little Li Flying Dagger technique he created never misses its target."

"He was ranked third in the Weapon Manual by the Great Ming's Bai Xiaosheng."

"Although Bai Xiaosheng's insight is limited, this ranking for Li Li Xunhuan is, if anything, too low."

"Li Li Xunhuan's true strength is terrifying."

"It is just that this person's personality has some flaws; he tends to be very conflicted when encountering problems."

Huang Shang explained clearly and in detail what he knew.

Northern Song and Great Ming did not share a border, and besides, Northern Song's current enemies were Western Xia, Great Liao, and the Jin Dynasty; Huang Shang had put all his focus on those three countries.

As for Great Ming, he only sent some people from the Imperial City Department to collect intelligence periodically.

Upon hearing that Li Li Xunhuan was also a handsome man, Zhao Ji became even more spirited and immediately asked: "Minister Huang, is there any way to get Li Li Xunhuan to join our Great Song?"

Handsome, high martial arts, and educated.

For an emperor like Zhao Ji who loved to play, having such a person, even if he didn't participate in government affairs, just placed in the imperial court would be a wonderful thing.

"This subject can try!"

Huang Shang thought for a moment and said.

This request was not too excessive.

Moreover, if he could poach Li Li Xunhuan, he could also cultivate him well.

He might not necessarily fail to become a capable general for Northern Song in the future.

Or perhaps a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

Of course, Huang Shang was mainly looking at the fact that Zhao Ji had a great interest in Li Li Xunhuan.

He thought that bringing Li Li Xunhuan over might be an attempt to change the emperor.

Great Ming, Li Garden.

"Cousin, this is my life-saving benefactor, and also my newly sworn elder brother, Long Long Xiaoyun."

Li Li Xunhuan said to Lin Lin Shiyin.

"Greetings, Brother Long!"

Lin Lin Shiyin's attitude was neither warm nor cold.

Long Long Xiaoyun, standing opposite, was stunned on the spot after seeing Lin Lin Shiyin's appearance clearly.

Beautiful, she was truly too beautiful.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

At this moment, Long Long Xiaoyun had even thought of what their future children would be named.

"Brother Long, what is wrong?"

Li Li Xunhuan asked with great concern, seeing that Long Long Xiaoyun had not reacted for a long time.

"No... nothing."

"I was just captivated by Miss Lin's beauty."

As soon as Long Long Xiaoyun said this, he realized that his words were a bit rash.

Immediately, he bowed to Lin Lin Shiyin to apologize, "I spoke out of turn; I hope Miss Lin will not mind."

Lin Lin Shiyin frowned, her face cold as ice.

Saying such things upon their first meeting, this Long Long Xiaoyun was clearly not a good person.

Moreover, Lin Lin Shiyin had clearly noticed just now that when Long Long Xiaoyun looked at her, his expression was very wrong, and his eyes were filled with desire.

This made Lin Lin Shiyin very unhappy!

Usually, she didn't even pay much attention to her cousin Li Li Xunhuan, and she didn't see any other men at all, all for the sake of waiting for that heartless man, the Carefree Traveler.

"Brother Long, there is no need for that; my cousin will not mind."

Li Li Xunhuan said with a smile.

He had always been carefree and unrestrained, and he didn't take Long Long Xiaoyun's words to heart.

Naturally, he didn't notice Long Long Xiaoyun's abnormality.

"It was indeed my rudeness; I hope Miss Lin will not mind!"

On the surface, Long Long Xiaoyun appeared to be apologizing very sincerely.

However, when he looked at Lin Lin Shiyin, there was still a strong sense of possessiveness in his eyes.

Lin Lin Shiyin said coldly: "Cousin, in the future, don't introduce those messy friends you know to me."

"I don't want to know any of them!"

She didn't name anyone directly, but her meaning was expressed very clearly.

"Cousin, what do you mean by that?"

Li Li Xunhuan asked, frowning.

Just at this moment, the text of Li Li Xunhuan's ranking appeared on the Heaven's Pride Ranking.

"Congratulations to my virtuous brother for making the Heaven's Pride Ranking."

"From today on, your great name will spread throughout the Nine Provinces."

Long Long Xiaoyun said with a smile.

A flash of jealousy crossed his eyes.

However, he concealed it well and quickly returned to normal.

Li Li Xunhuan looked at the flying dagger that appeared in his hand, and a chill rushed toward him.

"Truly a good treasure!"

Li Li Xunhuan examined it carefully, unable to put it down.

These thirty-six flying daggers were of much better quality than the ones he had crafted himself.

A touch of his hand brought a chill, which instantly made Li Li Xunhuan calm down, and his mind became exceptionally clear.

"Many thanks, Brother!"

"With your talent, Brother, if it weren't for the age limit,"

"you would certainly have made the list!"

Li Li Xunhuan put away the flying daggers and said with a smile.

Being able to make the list and gain a handy treasure was a cause for celebration for Li Li Xunhuan.

He was also a young, wealthy, and handsome nobleman who loved a romantic life.

Naturally, he wouldn't feel that making the list was a trouble.

"Haha, today we must have a good drink!"

Long Long Xiaoyun said with a smile.
