City 0099, the top floor of the military building, a super villa.
A cold-looking man sat on a pale yellow cushion, looking at the projection on his communicator. Behind him sat Wild Hunt, who had his head lowered, and Dale Nidley, who was on the verge of going crazy.
"Owl, things are getting more and more troublesome. Li Xiang has that crazy woman, Serpent, backing him up. With her Rose Maids guarding him, it's going to be hard to get close to that kid. " On the screen, Dong Ling Hei Zhi's face was gloomy. The First Lady had devoured one of his Origin Form doppelgangers, and his vitality had been greatly damaged. He was soaking in the spring, motionless. "The tarot card deal was completed a long time ago. There shouldn't be any big movements in the near future. Naturally, the military and some of the higher-ups won't take care of us."
"So Iron died for nothing?" Owl looked at him coldly. "What about Finis? Does the Dong Ling Clan plan on letting him go?"
"Finis' life and death are unknown. He's been in a mess ever since he came back! He's a descendant that we've raised with all our might. Do you think we'll let Li Xiang go? But the problem is that the First Lady has spoken. Without her permission, no one from the Dong Ling Clan is allowed to approach Li Xiang. "Hei Zhi's face was full of anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Who was the First Lady? The only wife of the Dong Ling Clan.
Ever since the Dong Ling Clan went into seclusion a year ago, the entire Dong Ling Clan was under her control. Not only was she a powerful player, but she was also an excellent politician. In just a year, she had filled all the important positions in the clan with her own people.
"Does she really value that kid that much?" Owl's expression changed when he heard that it was the First Lady.
"Did you know? This time, the Dong Ling Clan released a special amnesty list for next year in advance. There's a girl called Dong Ling Lan on the list. She was personally nominated by the First Lady, and the elders all voted for her. "Hei Zhi was a little flustered." Do you know who that girl is? "
"Some big shot's illegitimate daughter?" Xiao looked at him doubtfully. Those who could be on the Dong Ling family's amnesty list were generally those who had made big mistakes and had made great contributions recently. They would be eliminated in the name of amnesty.
"No! Her crime was that she had eloped with a man from the Subcontinent District. Dong Ling Lan is only a descendant of a small branch, but the one who carried out the killing order was Li Xiang, but he gave up. "
"Do you understand? This is a small reward that the First Lady promised him after the ultimate trial. "Hei Zhi's teeth were about to shatter. This matter caused a huge uproar in the main family.
Dong Ling Lan was just a small fry, not worth mentioning. However, intermarriage was the number one crime of the Dong Ling Family. Any family member who violated this rule would definitely die!
There had been no exception for thousands of years.
She personally pardoned Dong Ling Lan, which was a challenge to the family's discipline.
However, at that time, no one in the family dared to disobey her. Even the House of Elders was under her control.
All of this was just her personal preference, a small reward for Li Xiang.
"This is a gesture of goodwill. It was the first time I saw that crazy woman being kind to someone. I couldn't believe it. I was dumbfounded when I received the family's call. Li Xiang turned down the Dong Ling Family's elite training program and injured Finis. I heard that he has the blood of the Bai Family in him. That crazy woman … "
Xiao was speechless.
Wild Hunter weighed the pros and cons in his mind, but then his father suddenly cut off the call.
"Did you hear that? Almost no one is willing to help us despite the fact that they have offended those two crazy women. We can't wait until the next time they need us. If we act rashly, they will retaliate. " Xiao closed his eyes and said to his wife and son, "Both of you, stop what you are doing for a while. On Hunter's side, all the families who killed Li Xiang in the Ultimate Trial will be my friends in the future. Bring the gifts I prepared and visit them one by one. Dale, return the military power to me. Don't do anything else. If you really offend that crazy woman from the Dong Ling Family, not only you, but the entire Nidri Family will be buried with her. "
"Got it." Dale Nidri bit her lip, her eyes flashing.
.....
That night was the time for the two hundred and forty trial-takers to receive their rewards in the Ultimate Ranking Competition. However, due to the revival competition, only two hundred and six people could participate.
After the Ultimate Ranking Competition ended, all parties were cleaning up the mess. Many numbered cities slowly walked out of the frenzy of the competition and returned to their usual lives.
From that day onwards, the members of the Referees Committee would all head to the Chronometer Tower Consortium's headquarters to determine the final results, as well as produce the university notices for all the trial-takers.
Everything would be revealed at the end of November.
At the beginning of December, each university would welcome a new batch of university students.
The next thing that everyone looked forward to the most was the announcement of the enrollment list of the eighteen schools of the Chronometer Tower Consortium.
Since the morning, there had been a continuous stream of people coming to the First Military Hospital to ask about Li Xiang.
Those who were estranged or were in other places, such as Wei Linlin, Tian Yin of the Chanlu Temple, and members of the Serpent Machinery Department, sent messages through their communicators.
Then, Hestria arranged the people who wanted to visit in batches, from morning to night, according to their closeness to each other.
The first batch was Wang Bo, Bai Jiaqi, and a few others. After Li Xiang's introduction, Wang Bo's business empire grew bigger and bigger. Although these core members were not rich people, they were all Li Xiang's friends, so Wang Bo naturally would not refuse them.
After the Sky Arena and the Ultimate Trial, Bai Jiaqi was completely convinced by Li Xiang. She abandoned many unnecessary interactions with the sixteenth branch family and followed him and Wang Bo wholeheartedly.
In the future, he would secretly provide Li Xiang with some internal information about the Bai family.
Alice had also passed the Ultimate Trial and would go to the player university at the beginning of December to further her studies, while Elena would stay in Maria's laboratory as a temporary worker.
Wang Bo left after explaining the general plan of City 0126 and the direction of the Scarlet Moon.
The second batch of people who came to visit him was Yu Bai, Li Weilan, Atsushi Amakusa, and Ai Yakumo. Li Xiang and Li Weilan also had some small transactions. When he took out the photo that Ye Yu had given him, Li Weilan instantly lost control.
He had guessed correctly. Ye Yu's daughter was Li Weilan.
Even though many years had passed, traces of her appearance could still be found. She hadn't been captured by the Machinery Church back then. Instead, she had secretly escaped and was eventually adopted by a middle-class family.
She didn't say too much and hurriedly left with Yu Bai. Li Xiang could only wait for her to accept and think things through before talking about this matter again.
The third batch of people were Chen Fan, Ji Yanqing, Baimiya, and the others. These were all close friends of his. Baimiya was so angry that she punched him a few times, but in the end, she thanked him and left.
Who knew when they would meet again?
People came and went in waves. Li Xiang, who had always had difficulty socializing, suddenly discovered that he had unknowingly gained a lot of friends. He wouldn't be so lonely on the path of this life anymore.
From leaving Hou City, entering the Polar night training camp, the second phase of training, the final exam, leaving the Polar night for the Sky Arena, the Ultimate Trial, and now, the Ultimate Trial, to the end of the Ultimate Trial.
His life had stopped and started again. Clearly, less than half a year had passed, but it felt abnormally long.
And now, he was about to set off for the University and embark on a new path.
Life was probably just like this.
After sorting out his emotions, Li Xiang looked up again. Hestria had already quietly left the room.
At this moment, standing at the door was still the girl in the navy blue suit and light red short skirt.
She smiled, making him feel as if his entire heart was about to melt.
