rest. I will discuss with Chief Patriarch and make further arrangements."

Madam Yan got up and walked out. On her way out, she abruptly turned back and asked Bai Qiuxue, "Qiuxue, what… do you think of Lu Li? Do you think we can ask him to become a member of our family?"

Seeing the meaningful looks of Madam Yan with her faint smile, smart girl as she was, Bai Qiuxue understood what Madam Yan really meant. She replied with a blush, "Auntie, if you want to invite him so do it. Why are you asking me?"

Bai Xiashuang, on the other hand, was kind of a-dork-able, of course, mainly a dork. She said with her eyes wide open, "Yes, yes. Even though Lu Li can be bad sometimes, he is kind of powerful. It would be better if he was a Bloodline Warrior."

"Ha, ha."

Madam Yan left directly with a laugh. Bai Qiuxue was lost in her thoughts. She murmured in a voice only audible to herself, "Our forefather said we were destined to marry warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li? Maybe no…"

"Sister, what are you mumbling about?"

Bai Xiashuang’s mind was simple and care-free. She stretched herself and said, "Let’s go back. We have been so tired lately. I want to take a long bath and a big meal."

"All you can think about it eating."

Bai Xiashuang was angry a moment ago and now she was all happy. Bai Qiuxue really didn’t know how to react to that. She said, "If you get fat, how can you get married later?"

"Hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang thrust her chest forward with pride and answered, "No need to be afraid. Our forefather counted our fortune. We are meant to marry warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. How can we not get married?"

"Human Sovereign?" Sighed Bai Qiuxue. Was this fortune accurate? Could there be another warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm from the Northern Desert?

Time flew by. Soon, a couple of days had pa.s.sed.

There were people coming out of the Tomb of Dragon King. Zi Lian and Ye Yuhan all came out with their warriors. Du Ziling was in a worse condition. Only after three whole days did his group came out all limping and holding each other in support.

Every young masters’ legs and arms were broken by Lu Li. All the bones in their chests were cracked. Even though they had top-level pellets, it would still take some time before they could recover fully.

This time, every team found something during the treasure hunt. Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan, Du Ziling and Ye Longyu had climbed to the Mountain of Dragon King so they all got something. It was a pity, though, all the best of the treasures were inside the Coffin of Dragon King that flew away.

Naturally, later on, all the Families would send someone to go in and make a thorough search to see if there were any treasures left.

This was a very good experience of empowerment for the young masters and young ladies of the forces. It was even more so with the maze that had toughened everyone’s mind. It would be very beneficial for their future development.

Three Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps all left so Bai Leng left as well. The treasure hunt was now officially over.

Many scouts of the Bai Family were sent to the location, attempting to search for the whereabouts of that mysterious powerful warrior. The Bai Family even asked around for information, trying to establish the ident.i.ty of this man.

However…

If Bai Leng couldn’t find that mysterious powerful warrior, how could the scouts? They got back with a load of information, yet the ident.i.ty of this man couldn’t be figured out.

After a warrior reached the Eternal Realm, his life would be more than 2000 or 3000 years. If some old freaky warrior had been in secluded cultivation, who could tell the ident.i.ty given the fact that so many powerful warriors had emerged in the course of 2000 or 3000 years at the Thousand-island Lake?

The news about the fight at the Cliff of Purgatory spread across the entire Thousand-island Lake and the Northern Desert in two or three days. The Thousand-island Lake was seized in a huge sensation. The name Lu Li went to every corner of the Thousand-island Lake and he had got the attention from all forces. After all, the fight started because of Lu Li.

The party involved, Lu Li, had woken up some time ago. But he still needed time for his wounds to heal. Lu Li had been living at the Bai Emperor Mountain during these days. Bai Qiuxue and Madam Yan didn’t come to visit him. Only Chief Steward Bai would come over every now and then.

By the evening of the fourth day, Madam Yan finally showed up.

She was wearing a ravis.h.i.+ng red dress which highlighted her smooth and rosy skin. The dress was a tight one so her perfect body was showing.

After Madam Yan came in, she looked at Lu Li sitting on the bed with a smile and said directly without beating around the bushes, "I, Bai Yan, now is extending you an official invitation on behalf of the Bai Family. Lu Li, if you can join the External Clan of the Bai Family, the Bai Family will exhaust our ways in training and educating you. In ten years, you can do anything as you wish…around the entire Thousand-island Lake."
