Chapter 707: Noble Birth

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Leng Wuxue had reported to his family his disputes with Lu Li. Even Lord Long appeared to be intimidated by that token. Besides, Yin Qingsi’s word was a cause for alarm.

After he came back, Leng Wuxue inquired his father Leng Tian’ao about the token. Leng Tian’ao informed the Hall of Patriarchs immediately.

Therefore, when the token was presented to Lord Six, he turned it to the Hall of Patriarchs instantly. Instead of coming out themselves, the old patriarchs sent Leng Wushang and the others.

Leng Wushang was the most favored young master of the Leng Family, and Leng Wuxin enjoyed the highest status among the young ladies. Several other famous young masters and young ladies of the Leng Family came. This reception was above standard, which showed Leng Family’s respect to the Blood Emperor.

They were not entirely sure that Lu Li was the Blood Emperor’s apprentice, not to mention he was only at the Noble Lord Realm. However, the token itself could make the Leng Family send important people to greet Lu Li.

Lu Li looked away from Leng Wuxin. He turned to Leng Wushang who was at the front of the team. Lu Li was surprised by what he sensed.

This was a blessed young master. He was still young but with a well-developed body. He was six feet tall and had handsome features. He was elegant, and the very sense of nobility was embedded in his genes.

Lu Li had thought that a person “towering above the rest” was not a good thing. Today, when he saw Leng Wushang, he understood that it was not necessarily true.

Leng Wushang had the ability to make other men feel less of themselves and inferior to him.

That was a man of noble birth!

Lu Li didn’t think Leng Wushang was arrogant or imposing. Instead, Leng Wushang put on a warm smile. He was gentle as jade and graceful. Nothing about him said domineering. The nobility on him was something Lu Li sensed. He felt Leng Wushang could be compared to a moon in the sky and nobody could be equal to him.

Taking the lead, Leng Wushang landed with Leng Wuxin and the others. Lu Li found that they had flown around the statue of Heaven Reverse Emperor instead of above it.

Leng Wushang had donned a white robe with an emerald green belt. On the belt, there was no other decoration other than a white jade pendant.

His gait was light. He walked over in big strides with the others and stopped when he was 10 feet way from Lu Li. He cupped his fists and said, “I am Leng Wushang. Nice to meet you, Young Master Lu. Welcome to the City of Leng.”

Leng Wuxin and the other young ladies curtseyed to Lu Li, and the other young masters cupped their fists. But none of them said their names. Clearly, Leng Wushang was the one in charge out here.

Courtesy called for reciprocity. Of course, Lu Li didn’t have the right to do otherwise. He nodded and said, “Thank you, Young Master Wushang. Nice to meet you all.”

Leng Wushang was surprised by Lu Li’s nice attitude. His smile grew bigger. He had thought that Lu Li would make a huge scene in public, but now that Lu Li was respectful, he must return the kind attitude. He said again, “Young Master Lu, please come to my home and let me do the honors of a host. What do you say?”

With proud humility, Lu Li answered, “Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Please!”

Leng Wushang waved his hands gracefully. Even dressed humbly, Lu Li didn’t shy away. He walked to Leng Wushang’s side and set off to Leng Family’s mansion with the others surrounding him.

Lu Li was not a familiar person to them, and there was no Lu Family among the super families at the Central Imperial Universe. He was dressed normally, and the Interspatial Ring on his hand was the low-level kind. He reached the Noble Lord Realm only when he was about 19. At the Central Imperial Universe, this only qualified as average.

Therefore…

As soon as Lu Li was gone with Leng Wushuang and others, a chorus of reaction took over the plaza. People were discussing like quacking ducks, and noises were everywhere.

“Who is that person? How can he be so arrogant?”

“He is so old to reach the Noble Lord Realm. He is not valued in his family even if his family is a super family. How come the Leng Family attaches so much importance to him?”

“I don’t know. Young Master Wushang and Young Lady Wuxin are both here, and yet he is still so arrogant. I don’t suppose… his connections are simple.”

“Is he the apprentice of some secluded old warrior? But that doesn’t add up… which warrior will accept this kind of person as an apprentice?”

“…”

Lu Li was already in a magnificent mansion with Leng Wushang, but the discussion hadn’t died down yet. It was not surprising that people all over the City of Leng would talk about it because the matter in and of itself was odd.

The Leng Family’s mansion was gorgeous!

Leng Family was the real noble family. Even the gates that were as tall as a precipice alone could tell Leng Family’s wealth. Lu Li thought he had walked into a forest garden after entering.

In the distance, the tips of castles were revealed from the forest garden. There were more castles than Lu Li could count.

A straight and spacious corridor made of white jade extended to the horizon. On both sides of the road stood warriors in an orderly array. They were all at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. Under the setting sun, a cold glare bounced off from their white armor and connected to two straight lines.

“How many powerful warriors are there in the Leng Family?”

Lu Li followed Leng Wushang down the white jade corridor. There was a warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm every three feet. He couldn’t help but exclaim.

Lu Li could tell that those warriors were not here for him to see. He wasn’t qualified enough for the Leng Family to put on a show for him yet. That meant those warriors were possibly like this every day.

About 800 feet down, the white jade corridor began to extend upward. Lu Li could see several magnificent halls on the horizon. Looking up from here, the halls seemed to be residences of gods. They were majestic, which spoke to the wealth of the family.

However…

Leng Wushang didn’t lead Lu Li to the main hall, and none of the patriarchs came out to greet him. Clearly, Lu Li didn’t have the qualifications for that kind of treatment.

He could understand that, though. If it had been the Blood Emperor that came in person, the Family Patriarch would have to come to meet him. To be received by Leng Wushang and Leng Wuxin, Lu Li, an unconfirmed apprentice of the Blood Emperor, had already been given enough respect.

Leng Family, with a history of a million years and one of the three masters of the Central Imperial Universe, feared nobody and no force. The fact that they were treating Lu Li nicely was because they wanted no trouble. After all, the Blood Emperor enjoyed fame and Leng Wuxue did try to kill Lu Li.

Lu Li was shown to a luxurious hall by Leng Wushang. A banquet was ready. White carpet extended beyond the hall, and outside the door knelt more than a dozen pretty maids.

In the hall, Leng Wushang walked to the central seat. Lu Li sat on the first seat to the left, and Leng Wuxin was on the right side. The other young masters and young ladies took their seats respectively.

Maids were coming with wine and food. A bunch of scantily-dressed dancers danced trippingly to the music. The banquet was of high class.

When all the wine and food were served, Leng Wushang proposed a toast, “Here, let us toast to Young Master Lu. Welcome to the Leng Family.”

Lu Li didn’t pick up his goblet. He had been thinking on his way about what he could do next. Leng Wuxin had told him to join the Leng Family and become stronger. When he was capable, he should approach Leng Wushang and then murder him.

However, given that he had assumed the identity of the Blood Emperor, the possibility of him joining the Leng Family dropped to zero. Leng Wushang was right in front of him, but did he dare to kill him? Could he kill him?

Where should he go if he could not join the Leng Family? How should he cultivate? How to get the antidote from Leng Wuxin?
