Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 774 - Li Yinghua Update 44

Chapter 774: Chapter 774 Li Yinghua [Update 44] Chapter 774: Chapter 774 Li Yinghua [Update 44] One move, just one move!

A Fifth Rank Spirit Condensation Realm Cultivator actually held out for only one move against Li Xiaoyao before he was defeated!

The outcome, even if Li Zhan, who had long noticed Li Xiaoyao’s strength, was taken aback.

The reactions of the Ancestral Elders varied.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder were more ruthless than Li Zhan. They were not surprised by the outcome of the fight, but the ease with which Li Xiaoyao defeated Li Longxiang was somewhat unexpected to them.

“You gave me a good match.” Li Xiaoyao said with a slight smile, as he drew back his palm and stood upright.

Li Longxiang’s expression changed several times and finally, with a wry smile, he shook his head, “The gap between you and me is indeed large, you are very strong.”

...

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said nothing.

His gaze shifted, and when he saw Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Dad, Third Elder, what brings you here?” Li Xiaoyao went over and asked.

Li Chengfeng, seeing his son make a name for himself, was in a great mood. He patted his shoulder and said, feeling quite proud, “Good boy, you didn’t embarrass your father.”

Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and repeated, “What brings you here?”

The Ancient Li Family Succession Ceremony.” Li Yiming said, “We received the invitation, the Ancient Li Family is holding the Li Family Succession Ceremony tomorrow.”

“The Li Family Succession Ceremony? What’s that?” Li Xiaoyao asked, feeling unfamiliar.

“Let’s go back first, and then I’ll explain in detail.” The three of them turned around and left the square, leaving behind a group of clanspeople looking on with reverence.

On the way back, Li Xiaoyao asked nonstop about the Li Family Succession Ceremony. Li Yiming, stroking his beard, said, “It is said that every few generations, the Ancient Li Family will have a successor, and this successor is officially acknowledged by the Clan Leader and the seven Ancestral Elders as the most talented clansperson of the generation.”

“So what if they’re talented? Doesn’t that mean the successor is a candidate for the next Clan Leader?” Li Xiaoyao asked, voicing the doubt in his heart.

Li Yiming shook his head, “The Li Family successor cannot become the Clan Leader, that’s the rule of the Li Family.”

“Can’t become the Clan Leader? Then what’s the point of being this successor?” Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips, not really understanding. If they are the most talented clansperson of the Li Family at the time, not becoming the Clan Leader to lead the family’s growth seemed like a loss.

“I’m not too clear on the details myself, only that the clansperson chosen as the Li Family successor will receive the full support of the Li Family, gaining access to the best cultivation resources. Essentially, they hold the greatest power next to the Clan Leader and the Elders.”

“Moreover…” Li Yiming said with a slight smile, “looking back at the former nine successors of the Ancient Li Family, not one was not the strongest Cultivator of their generation in the Li Family.”

“How strong were they?”

“Each of them reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.”

“Tribulation Transcendence Realm!” Li Xiaoyao’s pupils contracted slightly, awe flickering in his heart; it seemed they were indeed powerful.

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and then asked, “Did any of the nine successors successfully surpass the tribulation?”

“There shouldn’t be any.” Li Chengfeng interjected, “Over the years, the Li Family has never had an ancestor who achieved Tribulation Transcendence in the proper manner; reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was already the pinnacle, alas.”

“After all, it’s the Heavenly Tribulation, with its unpredictable divine might; how could we mere mortals covet such power?”

Footsteps sounded from outside; the young girl who had helped Li Xiaoyao bathe and change his clothes entered the courtyard with quick steps and bowed slightly, “I see the Clan Leader, Third Elder, and Young Master Li.”

When the girl’s gaze raised, it lingered noticeably longer on Li Xiaoyao, her eyes brimming with obvious adoration.

Li Chengfeng and the other elder exchanged a look, feeling somewhat speechless. This boy, with his charm and playful ways, was not falling short of his old self.

“Is there something?” Li Xiaoyao asked with a smile in his eyes, softly inquiring.

“The Clan Leader requests your presence,” the girl remembered the purpose of her visit, withdrew her gaze, and hurriedly said.

“The Clan Leader?” He wondered what business they could possibly have at this time, especially since tomorrow was the Li Family heir ceremony. As the Clan Leader, shouldn’t he be busy?

“Alright, I understand, I’ll head over shortly,” Li Chengfeng replied.

The girl acknowledged with a sound but lingered instead of leaving. Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming pretended not to notice, while Li Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless—was this young lady too forward? She was staring at him with such anticipation, could it be that she wanted to have a fling with him?

With the girl staring this way, the atmosphere grew awkward. Li Chengfeng initially wanted to wait before leaving; as the leader of the clan, he had to maintain some semblance of authority, right? But the girl stood there like a wooden post, and just waiting around didn’t seem appropriate either.

“Let’s go,” Li Chengfeng took the lead, with Li Yiming following close behind, leaving the girl and Li Xiaoyao trailing.

Li Chengfeng never meddled in Li Xiaoyao’s private life.

Li Xiaoyao was no longer a child. Matters between men and women were his to choose and ponder. A man being a bit of a playboy was alright, as long as he wasn’t vile.

“What’s your name?” Li Xiaoyao asked, feeling uncomfortable under the girl’s lovestruck gaze; it was the first time he’d felt shy in front of a woman.

“Yinghua.”

“Yinghua? Li Yinghua?” Li Xiaoyao wanted to ask, was it your own parents who named you?

It wouldn’t be because her mother enjoyed sprinkling cherry blossom petals in her bath, and after giving birth, she just picked the name Li Yinghua on a whim, would it?

Seemingly catching the skepticism in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes, Li Yinghua said, “Mhm, the year I was born, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard were in bloom.”

Such casual name-giving.

“Master Li, are you married?” Li Yinghua abruptly asked.

Li Xiaoyao wasn’t surprised. This girl could unabashedly stare at his lower body without blinking; it wasn’t odd for her to ask such a personal and invasive question.

“No.”

Li Yinghua immediately said with joy, “I’m not either.”

“…Oh.”

“Master Li, do you think…” Li Yinghua smiled shyly, “am I pretty?”

“Pretty.” Even though he felt this girl’s thought processes might be a bit odd, he wouldn’t lie about such a question. This girl was indeed beautiful, and it was the kind of beauty that was pure and unaffected.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Then, do you like me?”

“I…” Li Xiaoyao felt like he had been trapped. He looked down at her; if it weren’t for her large, clear, innocent eyes, he likely would have given her the cold shoulder already.

“Yinghua, we’ve only met twice, and the total time knowing each other doesn’t exceed four hours. We don’t know each other well enough. If I said I like you, then it would certainly be for your body.”

Far from being discouraged, Li Yinghua said, “Mother said that feelings can be cultivated. Back then, father and mother got married first and then fell in love.”

Li Xiaoyao’s mouth twitched, “Heh heh, your mother’s view on love is really…” He thought for a moment before he managed to say, “Quite unique. I must have a chance to meet your mother sometime.”
