System's Super Sect Chapter 1291 - 1132: The Embarrassed Departure of the King-Sealing Expert

"I didn’t expect you to be favored by Brother Li—it explains why your swordsmanship is exceptional, even surpassing the Domain Master Si." Wuqi King pondered for a while, unable to recall any memory of Li Bai, but surmised that the other party wouldn’t deceive him over such a trivial matter and thus complimented him.

Moreover, saying he doesn’t know in front of so many people would indeed be quite embarrassing.

Additionally, if he portrays himself as someone acquainted with Li Bai, it could earn him more respect from everyone present. After all, knowing many King-Sealing Experts is a form of power.

Wen Ping couldn’t help but smile upon hearing Wuqi King’s words, "So Wuqi King knows Senior Li. How about this—after the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking has ended, I’ll host a banquet at the Immortal Sect to let both of you catch up?"

"Uh... no, no." Wuqi King was momentarily stunned, then quickly shook his head to refuse, "There will be many affairs to attend to after the Celestial Ascension Ranking, we should postpone the reunion to another day."

A reunion?

A reunion my foot.

This Li Bai—I’ve never even heard of him, how could there be a reunion?

If I visit and Wen Ping finds out I don’t even know Li Bai, wouldn’t I be embarrassed on the spot, possibly unable to face anyone in You Country?

Seeing Wuqi King shaking his head like that, Wen Ping felt speechless, and continued to ask, "Senior Li Bai always says he feels lonely; all his old friends have passed away over the years. Since you’re busy, Wuqi King, as Senior Li’s disciple, I must do something. I’ll inform Senior Li to come to Celestial Sun City to catch up with you—let’s drink a good round and not stop until we’re drunk!"

With that, Wen Ping motioned to Yun Liao, who was already there, ordering in front of everyone, "Elder Yun, immediately send a message back to the Sect, we must invite Senior Li to Celestial Sun City. Also, make sure to bring those millennium-aged fine wines from the Sect."

Yun Liao stepped forward and nodded, then turned with the intention of going right away, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, Senior Li Bai will definitely receive your message within a quarter of an hour."

"Go, go!"

Wen Ping urged.

Beside him, Wuqi King suddenly panicked.

"No, no, no... Sect Leader Wen, I still have matters to attend to, I really can’t spare the time, so let’s not trouble Brother Li." Wuqi King never dreamed that Wen Ping would take his casual words seriously.

He was anxious.

If by any chance Li Bai really came to Celestial Sun City...

And in front of all these people, if Li Bai said he didn’t know him, he’d have to leave the Primordial Yang Domain overnight.

As for whether he would stay in You Country in the future, that would need further discussion.

"Sect Leader Wen, please attend to your matters, and besides, my disciple is still injured, catching up will really have to wait for another day." Saying that, Wuqi King held onto Jiao Xie beside him, breathing a sigh of relief.

Good disciple!

Thank goodness you’re here!

And you got struck by a sword!

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what excuse to make.

After finishing, Wuqi King supported Jiao Xie and left without saying goodbye, disappearing into the sky above Celestial Sun City.

Watching Wuqi King’s departing figure, Wen Ping smiled with both pride and simple joy, with no hint of killing intent. Because he knew it’s almost certain that Wuqi King wouldn’t be an enemy.

The saying "An old man is crafty" is true, and Wuqi King is different from his disciple Jiao Xie. Jiao Xie is petty and cannot bear others being more dazzling than him, nor can he stand people not revering him.

But Wuqi King is very shrewd; even after I almost killed his disciple, he still didn’t show any killing intent toward me, which tells a lot.

Since he didn’t show any killing intent in front of so many people, it’s even less likely he’d harm me afterward.

Of course, he certainly won’t forget the grudge of his disciple getting struck by a sword, but at least until he figures out who’s behind the Immortal Sect, he won’t harbor any malice toward me.

After collecting his thoughts, Wen Ping didn’t linger, bidding farewell to Si Haixian and heading straight back to the Long Family.

Meanwhile, Si Haixian and others returned to the Domain Lord’s Mansion, still in shock, unable to calm down for a long time.

Especially Si Haixian and those with him, who originally thought things would get out of control, but unexpectedly, Wuqi King was forced to retire without even pursuing Wen Ping over Jiao Xie’s injury.

"It seems Wuqi King not only knows this Li Bai but is also very wary of him, or he wouldn’t let go of the humiliation his disciple almost being killed." Si Haixian sighed.

Yan Lai, who was beside him, added, "It’s probably not only apprehension; he might have suffered a loss before. Otherwise, why would Wuqi King hastily leave when Sect Leader Wen sent Yun Liao to invite Senior Li?"

Si Haixian, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, the weight on his mind finally easing.

Meanwhile, after Wen Ping returned to the Long Family, he briefly recounted what happened and reassured Long Mother a few times.

Long Mother knew that there must be powerful figures behind her son, so she wasn’t overly worried, but still advised, "Rascal, even though you have seniors covering your back, don’t get cocky and cause unnecessary trouble for them."

Wen Ping casually replied, "Rest assured, I’m not the type to invite trouble."

Long Mother nodded in relief, then a flicker of curiosity and a hint of concern appeared in her eyes as she inquired, "Does Senior Li Bai really know Wuqi King?"

Wen Ping caught this concern and continued to reassure her, "They surely didn’t know each other while alive, but who’s to say after death."

"Ah?"

Long Mother was somewhat puzzled.

Wen Ping chuckled, "There’s no such Senior Li Bai, I just made it up."

"You rascal." Long Mother realized, laughingly scolded him.

Wen Ping was about to continue jesting about Wuqi King when the Sound Transmission Stone in his embrace suddenly activated.

Long Mother sensibly quieted down, gesturing for Wen Ping to attend to his matters first, so Wen Ping connected the Sound Transmission Stone.

Once connected, Chen Xie’s voice came from the other side, "Sect Leader, I apologize for the intrusion, please forgive me. I’ll keep it brief and not take up your time with the old lady."

"Speak."

"The first matter is concerning the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. I have recently had people prepare a Heavenly Talents ranking for the Primordial Yang Domain, initially set to be released when the Celestial Ascension Ranking starts tomorrow morning, do you wish to see it?"

Wen Ping was silent for a moment, "I don’t need to see it, but don’t release it tomorrow morning. The process for this Primordial Yang Domain Celestial Ascension Ranking will be expedited, so if possible, release it tonight. The coverage should be as wide as possible, even beyond the Primordial Yang Domain, establishing authority beyond! If possible, take this opportunity during the You Country’s Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking to ensure Immortal Daily covers the entire You Country."

"I understand, Sect Leader!" Chen Xie couldn’t help but marvel—truly worthy of being Sect Leader. Just after establishing a footing in the Primordial Yang Domain, he already plans for Immortal Daily to cover all of You Country.

I’ve been too conservative.

Actually contemplating extending further in another month or two.

Wen Ping continued, "There’s no need to worry about being targeted or catching the notice of the upper echelons in You Country—approach Si Haixian and leverage his status to accomplish this. With his influence, Immortal Daily will at least not face resistance from the official and military authorities of You Country. Si Haixian’s official Domain Master status shouldn’t be wasted."

Chen Xie was delighted, "Understood, Sir."

"What else?"

"There’s another matter from Elder Zi Ran for you. She’s currently occupied crafting Vortex Maps and Vortex Killing Artifacts. She wants to inquire whether a Purple Treasure Pavilion could be established in Celestial Sun City to capitalize on the momentum of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking to sell Vortex Maps and Vortex Killing Artifacts once again. If acceptable, Elder Zi Ran plans to set the sale date for three days later."

"Then three days it is, but keep the good special abilities reserved for cultivation rewards, only sell the lesser abilities. Additionally, include a Five-Vortex Vortex Map—come see me after you’re busy to get it. There are more Celestial Unrestricted experts attending this Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking than I anticipated, plus a King-Sealing expert showed up. It would be a waste not to make some money off them; otherwise, I’d regret my own kindness afterward. And also bring this news to Si Haixian, request his utmost support and assistance, and if necessary, ’bind’ Immortal Daily and Si Haixian together to ensure it faces no official or military resistance when expanding beyond the Primordial Yang Domain. He can’t just receive this information for free; he must contribute something."
