Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 745 - Tampering【15th Update】
Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Tampering【15th Update】 Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Tampering【15th Update】 The vast testing square was filled with mocking laughter that ceaselessly battered Li Pengcheng’s eardrums, making it all seem so unreal to him.
Li Hui and the two others hooked a hint of a self-satisfied smile at the corners of their mouths unconsciously.
Li Xiaoyao squinted his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping across, and he happened to see the curvature of their lips.
“There’s deceit!”
Li Pengcheng’s bloodline absolutely isn’t just Third Grade; even if he didn’t take the Spirit God Pill yesterday, he is Sixth Grade. So why has it turned into Third Grade here?
Judging from the expressions of Li Hui and his companions, the problem seemed to have originated from the testing stele.
Li Chaotian also had a vague guess of what was happening but didn’t dare to confirm it. Without evidence, he couldn’t speak carelessly.
...
And he didn’t believe that Li Hui and the others would tamper with the testing stele; after all, that would be violating a major taboo of the Li Family.
Could it be that Li Pengcheng’s bloodline truly was only Third Grade?
“Heh, a Third Grade bloodline.” Li Hui slowly walked over, looking at a downcast Li Pengcheng, who was tightly pressing his lips together and shaking slightly, showing no attempt to conceal his disdain: “Go back, this isn’t the place for you.”
Li Pengcheng didn’t move for a while, and Li Hui furrowed his brow, saying, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”
“I want to try again!” Li Pengcheng slowly raised his head. He didn’t believe, he simply couldn’t believe, that his bloodline was merely Third Grade; there had to be a mistake.
Perhaps it was because he had already been tested today and his bloodline hadn’t been fully released.
Having finally come to the Ancient Li Family, if he were to lose in the clan competition he would have no complaints, but he could not accept being disqualified due to a bloodline test.
“It will be the same even if you try again.” Li Hui snorted disdainfully, waving his hand impatiently: “Do you think I would purposefully target you? A Third Grade bloodline is a Third Grade bloodline, and it will remain the same no matter how many times you try.”
A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder. Li Pengcheng turned around to find Li Xiaoyao who had appeared out of nowhere. That face, which should have been annoying to him, now bore an unquestionable gravity.
“Whether you try or not, you are Eighth Grade bloodline. Don’t worry, I’m here; no one can force you out.” His calm voice was filled with a strong confidence, as if he were the ruler of the Ancient Li Family.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Li Hui’s eyebrows knit together, snorting: “Everyone saw it with their own eyes. A Third Grade bloodline is a Third Grade bloodline, garbage is garbage. If you want to comfort him, go down and do it.”
Li Xiaoyao remained unangry, simply smiling lightly and saying, “What’s the rush? Haven’t I not yet taken the test?”
Li Hui was taken aback. For some reason, he had a bad feeling, but he dismissed the thought as soon as it arose.
The testing stele had been tampered with by him, so no matter how talented Li Xiaoyao was, it was impossible for him to test above Seventh Grade bloodline.
“You want to try, then go ahead, let you understand why you are dying.” Li Hui stepped aside, eagerly awaiting Li Xiaoyao’s embarrassment.
Patting Li Pengcheng on the shoulder, Li Xiaoyao said, “Wait for me by Elder Chaotian; I will handle this matter.”
Li Pengcheng looked at him, and for some reason, he felt an unprecedented sense of security. He nodded and walked down.
All eyes from the crowd below were focused on Li Xiaoyao; they were curious to see whether this so-called prodigy of the Li Family truly possessed a Seventh Grade or higher bloodline.
Or perhaps, was the Li Family of Xuan Country simply exaggerating their claims, attempting to deceive their way through?
Under the attention of thousands, Li Xiaoyao slowly raised his arm, his hand extending from the broad sleeve, his pale and slender fingers touching the cold stele.
One second, two seconds…
Almost identical to Li Pengcheng’s test, just when people were beginning to grow impatient, a blood-red aura finally rose from beneath his feet, suddenly enveloping him.
A blood-colored halo fell…
Within just a few seconds, six blood-colored halos descended, and Li Xiaoyao could distinctly feel a force within him being suppressed, preventing the full surge of his bloodline power.
And the source of this suppression was the testing stele right before him.
“Sure enough, there’s something fishy,” Li Xiaoyao sneered to himself as he slowly retracted his hand.
There was incessant murmuring among the clan members below.
“Sixth Grade bloodline, tsk tsk, the Li Family actually has such a genius.”
“Although it’s not very impressive, considering it’s just a branch of our Li Family, achieving this level is quite good.”
“Just a Sixth Grade bloodline, far from the standard to participate in the family competition. He dares to come to the Ancient Li Family and disgrace himself?”
“Xuan Country’s Li Family is becoming more and more shameless, a Third Grade and a Sixth Grade daring to join the family competition. I really don’t know how Li Chaotian, the protector, agreed to this.”
“Hehe, have you forgotten? Li Chaotian was originally from Xuan Country’s Li Family. Of course, he is giving them a back door.”
“Even if they are let in through the back door, they should at least be somewhat capable. How dare they bring someone who doesn’t even meet the threshold?”
The murmuring below was endless, almost drowning out the testing square.
In the eye of the storm, Li Xiaoyao’s expression remained unchanged, with just a faint smile on his face.
Li Hui looked at him and said, “A Sixth Grade bloodline, just a bit short of reaching Seventh Grade. What a pity.”
Li Bin also agreed, “No matter how regrettable, it is of no use. A difference of one grade is like the distance between heaven and earth.”
“Alright, step down,” Li Hui waved his hand dismissively and looked at Li Chaotian, whose face was sour, and criticized unceremoniously, “Chaotian, be more discerning in the future. I know you have deep feelings for Xuan Country’s Li Family, but the family competition is not child’s play. I will not report this to the Ancestral Elders this time, but hope there won’t be a next time.”
Li Chaotian’s face turned red with the scolding, wanting to defend himself, but in front of the testing stele, any explanation seemed pale and powerless.
The fact was, with one bearing a Third Grade bloodline and another a Sixth Grade bloodline, and none having a Seventh Grade bloodline, how could he explain?
Li Pengcheng clinched his fist tightly, his fingernails digging into his palm, leaving behind streaks of red marks.
He thought he could make a grand display in the Ancient Li Family, yet he did not expect to be humiliated during the testing phase.
“I say,” Li Xiaoyao, who had not spoken until now, suddenly spoke up, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
Li Hui looked at him and asked, “Do you have an issue?”
Li Xiaoyao looked at the three men with a smile, his deep, profound eyes seeming to see right through them.
“These tricks that deceive three-year-olds are really not interesting,” Li Xiaoyao shook his head with a disdainful tone.
“What do you mean?” Li Hui frowned, “You just tested yourself, a Sixth Grade bloodline, witnessed by over a hundred people. Do you think it was fake?”
“Heh, this kid is quite amusing. People may lie, but the testing stele doesn’t lie.”
“Blaming Elder Li Hui when it’s your own shortcoming, truly laughable.”
Ignoring the discussions below, Li Xiaoyao smiled and pointed at the testing stele, “Do you think I don’t know about the little trick you played on the testing stele?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise of the bustling crowd instantly disappeared, and the atmosphere became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
