Suddenly, the top talents of various hidden forces sitting by the lake sipping tea, either stood up or turned their heads, all looking towards the checkpoint outside the lakeside.

No need to elaborate about Ye Li, in recent times, she has become the most famous person among the younger generation. It’s rumored that she’s incredibly ruthless, bloodthirsty, comparable to a demon. Her talent is exceptionally monstrous, and she’s very young, seemingly only in her twenties.

As for Mo Qiu, although he is not well-known due to his discretion, his presence here with Ye Li is intriguing. Being the only son of the Valley Master of Immortal Sound Valley, one of the top hidden forces, naturally draws much curiosity.

And concerning Yun Qingqing and Ye Tian from the Martial Sect, they are actually not that famous, almost nobody knows them, even less than strangers. However, the Martial Sect’s reputation is substantial.

If time were pushed back tens of thousands of years, the Martial Sect was the undisputed top hidden force of the Small Thousand World. The newcomers like Xuan Miao Sect and Immortal Sound Valley couldn’t compare at all. Although recent tens of thousands of years have seen the Martial Sect in decline, a thin camel is still bigger than a horse; the Martial Sect firmly holds its position among the top hidden forces, and each generation’s successor of the Martial Sect is naturally highly scrutinized. What’s more, Yun Qingqing’s public appearance as the new successor of the Martial Sect is highly anticipated. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

In front of the lakeside checkpoint.

Ye Tian and Yun Qingqing arrived on the back of the Purple Fire Eagle, which highlighted the formidable background of the Martial Sect, effectively building momentum for Yun Qingqing. Even those who watched from afar, unqualified to attend the tea party, looked on in awe at the Purple Fire Eagle.

After flaunting its power for the Martial Sect, the Purple Fire Eagle transformed into a stream of purple-red light, soared to the sky dome, temporarily concealed.

Ye Tian and Yun Qingqing took out their invitation cards and walked towards the lakeside.

However, at this moment, Ye Tian paused his gaze, staring intently at the two people not far in front of him, more precisely, a man and a woman, and even more precisely, focusing on the girl.

"Li’er!!!"

Ye Tian suddenly spoke, somewhat excited.

Isn’t she his sister that his parents mentioned?

Another purpose of his outing is to find this sister without shared bloodline.

Ye Li was in fact even more excited than Ye Tian. She could never have imagined meeting her long-yearned-for brother at the Hidden Cloud Tea Party...

Like a dream.

In her understanding, her brother should still be on the Earth plane, how had he come to the Small Thousand World?

Moreover, he represents the Martial Sect at such a gathering of top young talents in hidden forces, it’s too shocking...

She seemed to have greatly underestimated her brother.

"Already late True Martial Realm? How did brother achieve this?"

Ye Li was slightly dazed. Although the late True Martial Realm is lesser than the talent at this Hidden Cloud Tea Party, Ye Li knew clearly, her parents said brother could fight across realms. Maybe his actual fighting power already matches these talents in the early-stage, mid-stage, or even late-stage King Martial Realm?

Besides, brother is only in his twenties, this age, not only among the younger generation?

Extremely young to the extreme.

Ye Li’s delicate body trembled upon hearing her brother calling her name; she almost turned immediately, wanting to rush to Ye Tian and tightly embrace him.

But reason told her she couldn’t!

Absolutely not!

Otherwise, her brother would be in danger...

Because she carries the Quasi-Emperor Treasure, already viewed as easy prey, many secretly wanted to kill her to seize the treasure, including Mo Qiu who accompanied her to the Hidden Cloud Tea Party.

If she revealed Ye Tian as her brother, Ye Tian would immediately become a target!

Be implicated by her.

She must not acknowledge with Ye Tian under the gaze of the crowd.

"It’s best to find an opportunity to hand the Quasi-Emperor Treasure to brother first, then let brother leave the Hidden Cloud Tea Party, as for me, even dying here today would be worth it."

Ye Li thought to herself, the moment she acquired the Quasi-Emperor Treasure, she decided to give it to her brother. Now meeting him strengthened this resolve.

"He’s calling you, haha... Does he know you?"

As Ye Li’s thoughts wandered, Mo Qiu glanced at her, speaking enigmatically, smiling warmly and curiously.

"He mistook me for someone else; I don’t know him."

Ye Li said coldly, turning to look at Ye Tian, speaking icily: "Is ’Li’er’ a name you can call? I don’t know you."

After saying this, she turned her head back, promptly heading towards the tea tables inside the lakeside...

Upon Ye Li’s cold words, many curious about Ye Tian and Ye Li’s relationship finally realized, apparently, they don’t know each other???

Was Ye Tian, the friend of the Martial Sect successor, trying to strike up a conversation with the female demon Ye Li?

Instantly, derisive and amused glances fell upon Ye Tian. Sure, Ye Li is extremely beautiful, but how dare someone of the late True Martial Realm rubbish try to chat up?

Boldly calling "Li’er"? That’s gutsy!!!

Audacious beyond description.

Recently, Ye Li had left the Immortal Sound Valley to train, until she acquired the Quasi-Emperor Treasure, her hands stained with countless blood, her methods exceptionally ruthless.

Don’t even mention the late True Martial Realm, it’s rumored that existence at the late-stage King Martial Realm had died at the hands of this female demon.

"The Martial Sect really grows more desolate by the day."

Wang Shenyan put down his tea cup, glanced at Ye Tian, casually commented, slightly furrowing his brow, somewhat displeased, thinking that such late True Martial Realm trash attending this Hidden Cloud Tea Party lowered its standards.

Yet for Yun Qingqing, Wang Shenyan took a mere glance, feeling slightly amazed, not just by her looks, but also her Martial Arts Will!

The terrifying root of the Martial Sect lies in its Martial Arts Will passed down for millions of years.

Though Yun Qingqing is young, her realm only at half-step King Martial Realm, her Martial Arts Will is still shocking. Wang Shenyan vaguely sensed Yun Qingqing’s Martial Arts Will’s quality far surpassed the previous successor’s.

Actually, this is partly because Yun Qingqing has just joined the Martial Sect, recently acquiring the Martial Arts Will, yet hasn’t fully integrated or harmonized it; otherwise, her Martial Arts Will aura wouldn’t leak out, allowing others to easily determine its level.

"Junior sister, you really don’t know that guy?"

Seeing Ye Li walking quickly toward the Hidden Cloud Tea Party, Mo Qiu smirked playfully. Others might truly think Ye Tian was audaciously striking up conversation, but he saw the complexities between Ye Tian and Ye Li. First, he’d noticed Ye Li exhibit a slight emotional fluctuation, quickly concealed, and then, they share the surname Ye, coincidence?
