A piece of paper!

This was Li Xiujie's betrothal gift!

"What!?"

"This can be considered a betrothal gift too!?"

"Although there are many seals added to this piece of paper, it is obviously just an ordinary piece of paper!"

"Daring to bring out just a piece of paper as a betrothal gift? Is Li Xiujie really here to embarrass himself by participating in this recruitment contest?"

"Has he embarrassed himself any less?"

Xu Ming's betrothal gift was ten drops of Chaotic Origin Fluid; while Li Xiujie's betrothal gift was an ordinary piece of paper…

Even the Holy Emperor City Lord looked at Li Xiujie with a displeased expression—was he toying with him?

He was waiting for Li Xiujie's explanation!

If Li Xiujie didn't have a reasonable explanation, the Holy Emperor City Lord would regard this behavior as provocation and disrespect.

"Great!"

Xu Ming immediately felt relieved!

If Li Xiujie had presented some decent betrothal gift, Xu Ming might have been slightly worried; but now that Li Xiujie directly 'gave up on himself' and presented a piece of paper as a betrothal gift, Xu Ming's last bit of worry disappeared without a trace.

Now, Xu Ming just wanted to see if the Holy Emperor City Lord would be so angry that he wanted to hit Li Xiujie!

However, regardless of whether the Holy Emperor City Lord would hit Li Xiujie or not; anyway, Xu Ming had already cranked the 'Forceful Face-Slapping' to the maximum!

Pa pa pa pa pa…

The surging and overwhelming sound of slaps, like a roaring tsunami, echoed on Li Xiujie's face! Making Li Xiujie's embarrassment reach its peak!

However, Li Xiujie acted as if he was shameless, looking calm and composed.

"This piece of paper…"

Li Xiujie fearlessly looked at the Holy Emperor City Lord, his eyes revealing strong confidence, "This piece of paper contains some simple introductions!"

Simple introductions?

The Holy Emperor City Lord's face remained gloomy.

The other mighty figures and geniuses were very curious—what "simple introductions" could Li Xiujie possibly bring out to compete with Xu Ming's betrothal gift?

Li Xiujie continued to say calmly: "These simple introductions are about all the secrets of my Li family!—For example, what secrets does the inheritance ground of my Li family hold; why do the strength of clansmen who successfully accept the inheritance soar? Also, what opportunities has my Li family obtained in the depths of the endless chaos…"

What!!?

As soon as Li Xiujie said this, the entire audience was shocked!

Li Xiujie actually took out all the secrets of the Li family as a betrothal gift!

All the secrets of a power! In terms of value, it is probably higher than all the treasures of a power combined!

Moreover…

The secrets of the Li family have made the entire God Domain extremely curious.

"I originally thought that Li Xiujie couldn't come up with any decent betrothal gift! I never expected that the Li family would actually bring out the entire family's foundation!"

"The Holy Emperor City Lord is probably tempted now, right?"

That's right!

The Holy Emperor City Lord was indeed tempted!

The secrets of the Li family that have been hidden for countless eons!—If the Holy Emperor City Lord said he didn't want to know, that would definitely be a lie!

The feeling of curiosity is the most torturous.

Gradually, the Holy Emperor City Lord fell into hesitation; hesitating about who to choose as his son-in-law.

The Holy Emperor City Lord wanted to know the secrets of the Li family; the Holy Emperor City Lord also wanted to get ten drops of Chaotic Origin Fluid!

"However…"

The Holy Emperor City Lord couldn't help but ponder, "Xu Ming completely crushed Li Xiujie in the fate assessment, talent assessment, and background assessment! If I choose Li Xiujie, wouldn't that be a bit unkind! And…"

The Holy Emperor City Lord glanced at Yin Ran out of the corner of his eye—he could of course see that Yin Ran's mind was completely on Xu Ming.

"But… this may be my only chance to know the secrets of the Li family! If I miss it…"

The feeling of curiosity is really very itchy and very uncomfortable!

The Holy Emperor City Lord was really very curious about the secrets of the Li family!

"How should I choose?"

The Holy Emperor City Lord hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't make a decision.

"Holy Emperor City Lord!"

The Cloud Overlord's indifferent voice transmission sounded in the Holy Emperor City Lord's mind, "Have you forgotten Xu Ming's performance in the three rounds of assessment?—Are you still hesitating about this? Where is the fairness of the recruitment contest?"

The Cloud Overlord's words were like a blow to the head, immediately making the Holy Emperor City Lord's attitude lean towards Xu Ming.

However, just at this moment, Li Xiujie said again: "City Lord, please don't rush to make a decision!—This piece of paper in my hand only records a simple introduction to the secrets of my Li family! You can take a look at this simple introduction first, and then make a decision later!"

"Oh? Can I see the simple introduction?"

The Holy Emperor City Lord's eyes lit up immediately—that would be great!

"Father!"

Yin Ran couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The Holy Emperor City Lord said indifferently through voice transmission: "Xiao Ran, your father has his own sense of propriety!"

His own sense of propriety?

Yin Ran didn't quite believe it!—If the Holy Emperor City Lord really had a sense of propriety and was really considering her, he should choose Xu Ming without hesitation!

However, the Holy Emperor City Lord didn't!

"Xiujie, hand this paper to Elder Bai and present it!"

Said the Holy Emperor City Lord.

The Holy Emperor City Lord generally doesn't get close to other people.

"This…"

Li Xiujie looked embarrassed, "City Lord, although this piece of paper only contains a simple introduction to the secrets of my Li family, it is extremely important!—Only you can know it, no one else can know!"

Elder Bai knew Li Xiujie's concerns and said: "Xiujie, although I am curious about the secrets of your Li family, I will not peek at the contents of this paper!"

"Sorry, Elder Bai!"

Li Xiujie shook his head decisively, "It's not that I don't trust you, but this paper is too important, I can only hand it over to the City Lord myself!"

"Heh!"

Elder Bai shook his head and smiled, and said no more.

It's not that I don't trust you?—That sounds nice!

If Li Xiujie really trusted Elder Bai, how could he not feel relieved to let Elder Bai pass it on?

In fact, Li Xiujie not only didn't trust Elder Bai, but also didn't trust everyone present!—Otherwise, it's just a piece of paper, he could just throw it to the Holy Emperor City Lord, so why would he need to hand it over to the Holy Emperor City Lord "hand to hand"? He was worried that if he threw it to the Holy Emperor City Lord, other Overlords would snatch this piece of paper; this would expose some of the Li family's secrets.

"Alright…"

Said the Holy Emperor City Lord, "Come over here!"

Although the Holy Emperor City Lord was wary of people getting close, it was mainly because he was worried about being attacked! After all, the Holy Emperor City Lord needed a very short moment to activate the formation in the Holy Emperor City; if he was attacked in this moment, it would be tragic!

However, if it was just a cultivation level like Li Xiujie's, the Holy Emperor City Lord wasn't too worried about being attacked—even if he attacked casually, so what?

Of course, another reason why the Holy Emperor City Lord was willing to let Li Xiujie get close was—he really wanted to see what secrets the Li family had! And the simple introduction in this paper was free to read!

Free to read!

Of course the Holy Emperor City Lord wanted to read it!

As for whether to choose Xu Ming or Li Xiujie after reading it, it would all depend on the Holy Emperor City Lord's own mood!

Xu Ming couldn't help but be curious about what secrets were on this paper.

However, Xu Ming's method of resolving curiosity was much simpler: "Little Cheat, investigate the contents of this paper!"

Little Cheat only spent a little bit of Cheat Points and easily found out: "This paper is completely blank."

Today's update is complete.

Starting tomorrow, I will try my best to resume three updates. Thank you.
