Chapter 173: Main Competitors In Position
Xue Zhengying, who had received the news in advance, smoothly spoke up: “What’s this, Brother Huang? You wouldn’t look down on my little sister, would you? My little sister is a top student at the Undead Dojo.”
“It’s not that…” Vice President Huang looked completely baffled. “Lili, didn’t you always look down on proper clubs?”
“Dad~ You don’t get it. The Ghost King Club is different from other clubs,” Huang Lili said with firm and fervent eyes. “There’s something there that I want.”
“Something you want?” Vice President Huang grew even more confused.
What could his own daughter want? Wasn’t it just those flashy but useless trash scroll paintings?
The problem was, wasn’t the Ghost King Club an Undead System club?
Could the Undead System have a pretty boy scroll painting that relied on looks to get by?
“Senior, you can rest assured. I’ll treat Lili like my own little sister,” Xue Lingling said righteously. “Didn’t you always want to see Lili in the Gold Tier League? Believe me, that day will come soon.”
“But…” Vice President Huang still hadn’t figured out the situation.
To him, his daughter finally deciding to join a proper club and become a proper player was absolutely a huge good thing.
After all, his daughter was currently at the Association Club, basically in a state of slacking off—three days fishing, two days drying nets—and staying there just caused him trouble.
But the question was, what did the Ghost King Club have going for it?
He, as her father, had nagged her earnestly for so many years without success, so how had that kid Wu Xian managed it?
It wasn’t until he personally saw the handsome and imposing gold scroll painted spirit that Wu Xian released that he suddenly understood.
With his keen eye, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of 【Sun Star Lord】.
His daughter was still the same daughter, without any changes—she had just truly encountered a scroll painting that was both handsome and strong.
But even more so, he was shocked by Wu Xian, this young scroll painter.
At such a young age, to conceive such an excellent scroll painting—his future was limitless!
For his daughter to follow such a genius scroll painter was absolutely not a bad thing.
That night, before the sumptuous dinner had ended, Huang Lili had already packed her bags in advance.
The next morning, Vice President Huang personally went with everyone to the Alliance Headquarters to handle his daughter’s transfer procedures.
Before parting, the old father couldn’t help but feel sentimental, but unfortunately, his little padded jacket left in such a hurry.
“Lili, come back to visit more when you have time…”
Vice President Huang wiped his tears, reluctant to part, still feeling like it was all a dream.
He had originally just wanted to catch up with his old friend Xue Zhengying, build a good relationship, and have his precious daughter probe into Wu Xian’s mysterious contribution.
How had it ended up with his own daughter being whisked away instead?
But thinking it over, if his daughter went over there, she could help him probe even better.
…
On the high-speed train to Yaoyang City, Huang Lili harbored beautiful aspirations for the future.
While chatting and laughing with everyone along the way, she unexpectedly received calls from a few missies.
“Hey~ Lili, where are you? You didn’t really hook up with that second-generation ancestor from yesterday, did you?”
“Sorry, sisters, I’m going to Yaoyang City to be a player, so I won’t be able to hang out with you all anymore.” Huang Lili sounded regretful, but her expression couldn’t hide her joy.
“Huh? Did I hear that right?”
“Soon, you’ll see me, your sister, in the league, and then you’ll understand.”
Huang Lili happily hung up the phone, chuckling to herself.
She’d keep this “fortune” to herself for now.
“Speaking of which, are your missies like you too?” Wu Xian curiously inquired.
“They’re okay, just not as obviously reactive to handsome guy scrolls as I am,” Huang Lili laughed. “If the club needs players later, you could totally hook them over. In terms of family background and spirit tamer ability, my missies are pretty excellent.
They’re just suffering from not finding scrolls that satisfy us all this time.”
Wu Xian smiled knowingly, then glanced around and got a scare.
He saw Xue Zhengying fiddling with and studying five gold scrolls, lost in thought.
After inquiring, he learned that shortly after he and Huang Lili left yesterday, several scroll painters who had been fortunate enough to witness Xue Zhengying’s heaven-defying exploits back in the day had sniffed him out and come over.
These five gold scrolls were their proud works, eagerly sent for Xue Zhengying to appraise.
Xue Lingling was full of emotion about this.
In Xue Zhengying’s words: “Little sister, you were still young back then, so you might not have much concept of your second brother’s splendor in the league.”
“Tsk~ After feeling them out, it seems like only Brother Huang’s 【Sea-Shaking Giant Beast】 is the real deal,” Xue Zhengying appraised with great interest. “From the looks of it, Brother Huang is a case of late bloomer— no wonder he became vice president.”
“You fought my dad back then?” Huang Lili had already heard about Xue Zhengying’s bizarre experiences and was quite curious about this former star player. “My dad said that back then, he dominated the league, unbeatable by anyone!”
Xue Zhengying chuckled wryly. “Brother Huang competed as a scroll painter back then, so he naturally had some advantages, but he couldn’t gain the upper hand against me.”
“Exactly, a proper scroll painter going into the league to compete with spirit tamers—that’s just bullying,” Huang Lili agreed deeply.
“You can’t put it quite like that,” Xue Zhengying laughed. “For low-level scroll painters wanting to make a name, joining the league is indeed a good choice. As long as they follow all the restrictions, it’s not bullying.”
…
Back in Yaoyang City.
Xue Lingling immediately added Xue Zhengying and Huang Lili as players to the Ghost King Club.
Upon officially moving into the Ghost King Club dorms, Huang Lili didn’t care about anything else—only her handsome guy scroll.
As soon as Wu Xian caught his breath, Huang Lili chased him to make a Sun Star Lord instance.
“Speaking of which, there’s an even handsomer one in the same series. Do you want the Sun Star Lord or that even handsomer one?” Wu Xian suggested with a light smile. Having swept up so many materials this time, he had gathered the silver scroll materials for many star lords.
“Really? There’s something handsomer than the Sun Star Lord?” Huang Lili was skeptical.
Wu Xian shrugged with a smile. “The kind that’ll definitely satisfy you.”
Huang Lili hesitated for a moment, then decided to take the gamble—after all, she’d definitely buy a Sun Star Lord later anyway.
Handsome guys were always better in multiples.
From childhood, she had a dream: to collect a full boy band of beautiful men scroll paintings and live a drunk life dream death every day.
“Alright, you can go wait in the outer area and check out our club while you’re at it.” Wu Xian nodded with a smile. “Oh right, our club’s cultivation pods are pretty good—you can give them a try.”
“No handsome guy, no passion~!”
“…” Wu Xian had black lines all over his head. “Even so, please wait outside. It’d be bad if you disturbed the handsome guy’s birth.”
“Oh, right right right.”
Huang Lili nodded deeply in agreement and obediently went outside to wait.
Just then, Xue Lingling happened to pass by.
“Want Older Sister to show you around our club?” Xue Lingling offered enthusiastically and familiarly. “Speaking of which, our club is about to have its Silver Rank promotion match soon, and you’ll be one of our main players then.”
“No problem~ No problem. As long as the god scroll painting is in place, I’ll give it my all,” Huang Lili said solemnly. “Believe me, I’m more invested in my god’s win rate than you all are.”
Xue Lingling was also full of curiosity about this “two-dimensional” little sister. “Speaking of which, Older Sister has a few underworld handsome men in hand. Want to take a look?”
Moments later, looking at Xue Lingling’s ghost king scroll paintings that at least resembled people, Huang Lili gave an awkward yet polite smile and immediately made a hasty retreat.
Watching Huang Lili’s disdainful departing figure, Xue Lingling was utterly baffled.
“Aren’t these pretty handsome?” Xue Lingling wondered, then stopped a club member. “Little Yang, aren’t these ghost kings handsome?”
“Ahem, that depends on the standard you’re using.”
