“Creak~”
Li Xiaoyao pushed open the door, and several people in the courtyard turned their heads at the sound.
Li Chengfeng, Li Pingshuang, and an unfamiliar man.
“I’m short on time, the retest must be done today, and I’ll be leaving in the afternoon,” Li Bin said coldly as he glanced at Li Xiaoyao. He had no fondness for Li Xiaoyao, who had a formidable reputation in the current Cultivation World.
In his view, the Ancient Li Family was legitimate, yet the Li Family of Xuan Country’s fame now eclipsed that of the Ancient Li Family, and all this was caused by Li Xiaoyao.
Li Bin dropped these words and turned to leave.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the two in confusion and asked, “Who is he?”
Li Pingshuang snorted and, seeing Li Bin was far enough away, said, “An Elder from the Ancient Li Family, a narrow-minded piece of trash.”
...
“Oh.” Li Xiaoyao nodded and asked, “Is it because of him that I was asked to come back earlier?”
“Mhm.” Li Chengfeng sized him up and asked, “How are your injuries?”
“Nothing serious, a few days of rest should see me fully recovered.”
“Prepare yourself, we’ll be testing the bloodline shortly,” instructed Li Chengfeng.
Li Xiaoyao’s heart stirred as he questioned, “Testing the bloodline? Is that for me to participate in the clan competition?”
“Yes.”
Just as Li Chengfeng was about to explain in detail, a figure walked in—it was Li Chaotian.
“Elder Chaotian.”
“We need not indulge in excessive formalities between us,” Li Chaotian said, discerning some clues from the expressions on the faces of Li Pingshuang and another person. He asked, “Did that guy say something again?”
“What can he say? Everyone in the Ancient Li Family is the same, can’t expect ivory to come out of a dog’s mouth.” Li Pingshuang had a fiery temper and was very much like Li Yunchen. He didn’t show any respect in front of Li Bin either.
Li Chaotian let out an awkward smile and said, “He is quite despicable.”
“Alright, you explain to Xiaoyao about the precautions for going to the Ancient Li Family,” Li Pingshuang gestured dismissively and left with Li Chengfeng.
Only the two of them remained in the courtyard, and suddenly Li Xiaoyao asked, “Elder Chaotian, can I choose not to go to the Ancient Li Family?”
Li Chaotian frowned and looked at him, “The choice is yours, of course you can choose not to go. But…”
After a moment’s thought, Li Chaotian said, “Xiaoyao, you need to understand something first; the Ancient Li Family may be obnoxious, but the Li Family’s forbidden grounds can be of great help to you. If you really have the ability to enter but choose not to, the loss would be immense. Furthermore, Chengfeng and the Ancestral Elders might not agree.”
“I understand,” Li Xiaoyao nodded. He indeed wasn’t keen on going.
Li Chaotian might describe the forbidden grounds as wonderful, but to him, even without them, his Cultivation Level could rise rapidly. Xiaoyao felt it wasn’t worth it to make himself unhappy just to endure the old folks’ faces.
However, he also knew that if he really didn’t go, his father and the Elders would probably have his hide.
“This time, Li Bin came on the family’s orders just to test your Bloodline, to confirm whether the Bloodline you’ve awakened truly reaches or surpasses Seventh Grade. You don’t need to be nervous, just take the test as usual,” Li Chaotian reassured.
“Nervous?” Li Xiaoyao laughed and shook his head. He had forgotten what it felt like to be nervous.
“`
Nascent Soul Realm Venerables had been killed by the handful, so perhaps it would only take facing a powerhouse like Xiaoqing to make them even slightly nervous.
After having lunch, at noon, Li Chengfeng and others headed to the testing stele.
This was the second internal test, and without the Elder’s permission, no one was allowed to enter indiscriminately. This meant that they wouldn’t be able to witness Li Xiaoyao’s second test even if they wanted to.
“Xiaoyao, begin,” Li Chengfeng said.
Li Xiaoyao nodded and walked toward the vast and spacious testing area. Just as he was about to press his palm against the testing stele, Li Bin suddenly said, “Wait.”
A few people frowned at him, wondering what he was up to.
Li Bin jumped onto the field, a flicker of light flashing on his storage ring, and a black stele landed in the area. Pointing at the stele, he sneered, “Use mine.”
The expressions on Li Chengfeng and the others’ faces turned downcast in an instant. Li Yunchen and Li Pingshuang, the two with the most fiery tempers, became angry immediately.
“Li Bin, what do you mean by this?”
Li Bin’s actions were undoubtedly implying that the Li Family’s testing stele was a fake, just short of saying it outright.
But Li Bin retorted, “Your testing stele is too old and often inaccurate.”
“Besides, if he truly has that strength, what difference does it make which one he uses?”
“You’re right,” Li Xiaoyao said smilingly as he looked at him. “With bloodline power within me, it makes no difference which stele I use. Since you insist on underestimating me with a villain’s mind, let me show you what a genius looks like.”
“Boy, don’t be too confident. It’s going to hurt when you slap your own face later,” Li Bin said with increasing irritation at the sight of Li Xiaoyao.
“That advice should be for yourself, but I think, with your skin so thick, even a hard slap probably wouldn’t cause you any pain,” Li Xiaoyao grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, his smile bright and sunny.
“You!” Li Bin fumed with anger. He was an Elder of the Ancient Li Family, and although his cultivation level was only Sixth Rank Spirit Condensation Realm, in terms of status, he was even higher than Li Chaotian, who was at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Now here was Li Xiaoyao, a junior from the Xuan Country Li Family, daring to speak to him with such a tone.
“Boy, do you believe that if I cripple you right now, not even your Li Family elders would dare utter a word!” Li Bin threatened with a dark expression.
“Oh, is that so?” the smile on Li Xiaoyao’s face disappeared instantly, his tone indifferent. “I very much look forward to you making a move on me. That way, I can kill you righteously, and even the Ancient Li Family won’t be able to say anything about it. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Feeling the chill of Li Xiaoyao’s gaze, as if being stalked by a demonic beast, Li Bin suddenly remembered that the person before him was the one who had killed Huang Yi of the Rakshasa Sect.
His Sixth Rank Spirit Condensation cultivation level seemed truly inadequate in comparison.
“Hurry up and test. I don’t have time to waste with you.” Despite feeling inferior, Li Bin refused to lose momentum, brushing off his sleeves and standing to the side, watching coldly.
I want to see how you’ll embarrass yourself.
Deep down, Li Bin didn’t believe for a moment that Li Xiaoyao truly possessed a Seventh Grade bloodline. When the news from the Xuan Country Li Family had spread, claiming that a genius surpassing Ninth Grade bloodline had emerged among their kin, it had sounded unbelievable.
What did it mean to surpass a Ninth Grade bloodline?
Forget about the Xuan Country Li Family, even within the entire Ancient Li Family throughout the years, the highest bloodline grades achieved were only Ninth Grade. And those with Ninth Grade bloodlines had all eventually become Family Heads, each one a distinguished talent within the Cultivation World.
Yet the Xuan Country Li Family dared to claim that they had someone of a bloodline grade surpassing Ninth Grade. In Li Bin’s eyes, this was nothing but a fairy tale.
