Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7408

Chapter 7322: Uncle Xiao

Upon hearing this, Li Chaoxi paused slightly, then, considering that a light-year-old expert might even have had physical contact with Li Tianming, she understood and said, “That’s true, it would be normal if it were you.”

Soon, the two entered the Holy War Temple again, but this time it seemed rather empty.

The last time Li Tianming entered, the massive divine bodies of the Ten Holy War Gods in the real universe exuded immense pressure.

Now, however, he only saw a figure with extraordinary bearing beneath the Guanyin Realm.

In the vast and boundless Holy War Temple, if it weren’t for this innate aura, it would be difficult to notice this figure within two meters.

Li Tianming looked at this figure, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Then, he followed Li Chaoxi, gradually walking towards the figure.

Only after getting closer could Li Tianming gradually make out the figure’s appearance.

Li Tianming couldn’t help but be surprised.

Because this figure, in terms of both appearance and physique, appeared very young.

If it weren’t for his outstanding aura of strength, he would easily be mistaken for an older disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Of course, Li Tianming couldn’t estimate his actual age, only knowing that he was definitely not that young.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a handsome and gentle face, and his brows and eyes shared a soft contour similar to Li Chaoxi’s.

Judging from their appearances alone, the connection between the two was very deep, and Li Tianming could immediately tell that this was undoubtedly Li Chaoxi’s father.

However, unlike Li Chaoxi, this young and handsome face also possessed a certain composure accumulated over the years, an aura that couldn’t be found in the younger generation.

Furthermore, his long black robe accentuated his extraordinary temperament, and he seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo, neither ostentatious nor easily overlooked.

As Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi approached him, face to face, Li Tianming was about to speak.

But the gentle, refined figure spoke first with a smile, “Just call me Uncle Xiao, my name is Li Dixiao.”

This was clearly addressed to Li Tianming, whom he was meeting for the first time.

“Uncle Xiao, this disciple…” Li Tianming blurted out, but hesitated slightly before correcting himself, “Junior Li Tianming greets Uncle Xiao.”

“Hehe, not bad!” Li Dixiao smiled and nodded. “Tianming, what do you think of Xi’er?”

Li Tianming felt a little strange, but still answered truthfully, “At first, she seemed quite mysterious, but after we became friends, I found Senior Sister Chaoxi to be very genuine and straightforward.”

“Dad! Why are you saying all this? Are you really treating today like meeting a new son-in-law and an elder?” Li Chaoxi stamped her foot, somewhat complaining.

It seemed that only in front of Li Dixiao would she show such a girlish side.

Li Dixiao smiled gently, “What’s wrong? Is Xi’er shy? Even if they’re just ordinary friends, it’s normal for me to get to know them.”

“Fine, I don’t care about you two anymore, say whatever you want.” Li Chaoxi turned her head away in a huff, but she still secretly listened to their conversation from time to time.

Li Dixiao shook his head with a smile, then turned to Li Tianming and said, “Xi’er is like this in front of me, don’t mind her.”

“Uncle Xiao is joking, who isn’t a child in their parents’ eyes?” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“I’ve heard this child mention you before, especially after getting to know you, she’s full of praise for your talent.” Li Dixiao put his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly upward, and said, “The younger generation in the clan, especially those your age, while they’re all decent, there aren’t any particularly outstanding ones, so… that’s why we met today.”

“To get more opportunities to break through my limitations, and to live up to your trust, Uncle Xiao, when I step onto the battlefield, I will definitely go all out.” Li Tianming immediately declared.

“I’ve gotten to know you before. You’re a loyal friend, otherwise you wouldn’t have risked everything to protect the Divine Treasure Clan. You’re also very ambitious and eager for cultivation opportunities.” Li Dixiao looked into Li Tianming’s eyes, as if he could see through many things in Li Tianming’s heart, and continued, “You seem to be carrying a lot, which forces you to work hard. I also believe in your character, which is why I was willing to take this risky step.”

Li Tianming felt a slight tremor in his heart, but he didn’t show any panic.

After all, what Li Dixiao said could all be obtained through investigation, and his own obsession with cultivation wouldn’t reveal any key information.

He immediately clasped his hands and said, “Uncle Xiao’s ability to judge people is admirable.”

“Hehe, just lived a little longer. The more things you see, the more you can see based on patterns.” Li Dixiao smiled and waved his hand.

At this moment, watching the two flatter each other, Li Chaoxi couldn’t help but turn her head and frown, saying, “Father, let’s talk about serious matters first. You know how important this matter is. It’s a rare opportunity to meet and discuss this, so let

‘s stop with the small talk.” “You silly girl, what’s the rush?” Li Dixiao smiled, then looked at Li Tianming and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s get down to business. You should have learned about the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle from Xi’er, right?”

Li Tianming nodded and said, “Senior Sister Chaoxi has told me about the organizers and sponsors of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle, the participants, the age groupings, and the generous rewards. I have a general understanding of it.”

“Hmm, not bad. Xi’er has saved me a lot of trouble.” Li Dixiao smiled and looked at Li Chaoxi’s figure beside him.

At this moment, Li Chaoxi seemed to have her back to the two of them, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Li Dixiao then looked at Li Tianming and said with a smile, “However, I guess she hasn’t told you about the dangers yet?”

“Well… not yet,” Li Tianming admitted frankly. “But I know that with such a generous reward, the competition is incredibly fierce. Everyone is scrambling to get ahead, so there will definitely be dangers. I’m prepared.”

“Hmm, but I specifically told her not to tell you directly. It’s better if we discuss it face to face. Don’t blame her for not explaining clearly,” Li Dixiao nodded.

“I understand that. I wouldn’t blame Senior Sister Chaoxi for such a small matter,” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Now, I will explain the pros and cons to you.” Li Dixiao then looked at Li Tianming and slowly said, “Actually, there is a high probability of casualties in this battle, since it involves significant interests. So I want to know your opinion. Are you willing to participate? Of course, you also have the right to back out, since nothing is certain yet.”
