“Mom said if a man doesn’t want to kiss goodbye, a woman should take the initiative. That way, the man will leave the house with a happy heart,” said Li Yinghua, fumbling with her hands and glancing timidly at Li Xiaoyao. Seeing that he didn’t respond for a while, she thought he was angry.

“I’ll be back soon, don’t mess up the room too much.”

“Mhm, I know,” Li Yinghua replied with a light lift of her red lips, casting a bright smile.

Upon leaving the room, Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized that Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming had come to the yard without him knowing when.

They looked at him with odd expressions, making Li Xiaoyao feel uncomfortable all over.

“She was just bringing me breakfast.” He regretted his words as soon as they were out of his mouth, knowing any explanation at that moment would seem like a cover-up.

...

As expected, after hearing him, both men revealed a knowing smile that only men understand.

“Xiaoyao, come here, I have something to tell you,” called Li Chengfeng, gesturing him over as the three of them sat down in the courtyard.

Li Chengfeng glanced at the room and asked, “What do you think of Ling’er?”

“Ling’er?” The sudden question caught Li Xiaoyao off guard before he replied, “She’s quite good.”

“Hmm, I think so too,” nodded Li Chengfeng and after a long pause, he added, “I can tell that girl likes you, will you consider it?”

“Consider what?” Li Xiaoyao truly didn’t understand what he meant.

Looking at him, Li Chengfeng said, “You’re not getting any younger; it’s time to think about carrying on the family line.”

Damn it!

Li Xiaoyao really felt like swearing; they were actually discussing marriage!

“Dad, don’t meddle in these things,” Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and looked towards Li Yiming as if to say, You should say something too, right?

“Cough cough,” Li Yiming feigned a cough twice and said, “Chengfeng, matters of the heart should be left for him to decide; it’s not like our time anymore.”

Li Chengfeng felt rather helpless and said, “It was just a mention, it’s getting late, let’s go.”

Just as he stood up, Li Chengfeng stopped again, eyeing Li Xiaoyao critically and asked, “Are you wearing that?”

Li Xiaoyao looked down at himself and didn’t see anything inappropriate about his clothes.

“What’s wrong with this outfit? It’s pretty good.”

“Today is the Li Family heir ceremony,” said Li Chengfeng, “Go back and change.”

Li Xiaoyao felt like he really wasn’t thinking straight to have forgotten such an important event.

“You guys go ahead, I’ll be right there after I change.”

Both men turned their gazes towards his room, their expressions clearly understanding as they said, “No rush, take your time.”

After they left, Li Xiaoyao stared at their retreating figures, itching to curse.

He could clearly catch the implication behind their words “take your time.”

…

The Li Family heir ceremony was held in the Li Family’s main hall.

The Li Family hall was large enough to accommodate a thousand people, and at this moment, it was bustling with activity. The protectors and the elders had already taken their seats, and Li Longxiang and his two companons had also sat down in a forward position, all three dressed in very formal attire.

Until now, no news regarding who the Li Family heir actually was had been released, and naturally, they assumed it was one of themselves.

The Ancestral Elders entered the hall one after the other, and with their arrival, the noise in the hall noticeably decreased.

Li Xiaoyao arrived alone; Li Yinghua had said she didn’t like such serious occasions and preferred to stay in her room, smelling his scent.

Li Xiaoyao did not want to talk to her more than necessary, fearing she would block his breathing.

“Brother Li, over here,” Li Qinglong waved at him repeatedly upon seeing him.

Li Xiaoyao heard the voice, smiled, and went to sit beside him.

“Just call me Xiaoyao, no need to be so distant,” he found the company of these three quite to his liking.

“I really didn’t expect that our generation would produce a Li Family heir,” Li Qinglong appeared very excited.

Li Xiaoyao just made a sound in acknowledgment and didn’t speak.

Perhaps to these members of the Ancient Li Family, being the Li Family heir was a great and honorable title, but to Li Xiaoyao, it was merely an empty name, something he could take or leave.

“Xiaoyao, among the three of us, who do you think has the most hope of becoming the Li Family heir?” Li Qinglong asked with confidence, clearly conveying the message that the title of Li Family heir was his for the taking.

Li Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly. What could he say? That the role of the Li Family heir actually had little to do with any of them because it had already been decided, and it was him.

If he really said that, the three would likely feel he was being too arrogant and conceited.

However, that was indeed the case.

“Haha, I’m not too sure,” Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, “All of you are exceptional individuals, and across the entire Cultivation World, there are few who can match your talents.”

This compliment was greatly appreciated by the three of them, though they still outwardly maintained a modest demeanor.

“Where, compared to you, we are nothing,” Li Qinglong laughed bitterly, his eyes soon shining with determination: “However, I will definitely surpass you, I will.”

“Hmm,” Li Xiaoyao gave a noncommittal reply, already regretting sitting here.

All three of these individuals believed themselves to be the Li Family heir, yet the real Li Family heir was sitting right beside them. He wondered what their reaction would be when Li Zhan announced his name on stage later.

It would probably be such a blow that it might make them question their lives.

After all, no one would have expected the Li Family heir to be chosen from within the Xuan Country Li Family.

Li Zhan entered alongside the Grand Elder. Taking the stage, Li Zhan briefly mentioned some irrelevant trivialities before getting to the point: “Since its foundation, the Li Family has had nine heirs. Each one a brilliant prodigy of their times, upholding the family against foreign foes and creating countless legends. Their cultivation levels reached the pinnacle attainable by cultivators. Even the Heavenly Tribulation has been crossed by them, but alas, the tribulation is formidable, and even such mighty geniuses were not able to withstand it.”

“But!” Li Zhan’s tone shifted, exuding a sharp intensity, “I believe this generation’s Li Family heir will definitely be able to breakthrough to Zhi Hao and transcend the Tribulation successfully!”

“The Li Family heir is not chosen by me or the other Ancestral Elders, but by a token left by Ancestor Li.” Li Zhan took out a round jade pendant engraved with a dragon from within his robe.

The dragon-shaped Jade Pendant was crystal clear, with a dense spiritual energy circulating within it, clearly a priceless treasure.

The Li Family heir was indeed selected by the jade pendant.

But during the ceremony in the ancestral hall, the disturbance caused by Li Xiaoyao’s blood on the Formation had already let him know that Li Xiaoyao was this generation’s Li Family heir.

What needed to be done now was merely to confirm it in front of all the clan members.

Indeed, Li Zhan was aware that if he were to declare Li Xiaoyao as the Li Family heir outright, it would likely cause doubt and dissatisfaction among the clan members. Even if Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level was recognized by all, he was after all a member of the Xuan Country Li Family.

However, if the heir were chosen by the token left by Ancestor Li, then no one would have anything to say.
