That said, the Divine Dragon Cult was indeed rampant, and had long aroused the resentment of people from all walks of life in the martial arts world.
On this point, Long'er is destined to be in the wrong.
Wu Sangui said, "Dragon Master, as the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect, you have neglected to manage your followers, allowing the Divine Dragon Sect to become arrogant and domineering, harming the people. What is your punishment?"
As expected, Wu Sangui turned the tables and bit back.
Long'er frowned slightly, speechless.
Wu Sangui said, "I will spare your life for now because of your past merits. But if you commit any more crimes and harm the people, I will show no mercy and will tear you to pieces!"
Wu Sangui's words and actions were stern and forceful, demonstrating his commitment to justice.
Long'er's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Huan deliberately said, "Master Long, why don't you quickly thank the Prince for sparing your life? From now on, repent and learn cooking from me, and set up a stall to sell boxed lunches!"
Long'er understood Li Huan's meaning, suppressed her murderous aura, and laughed, "Alright, since I've already lost 80% of my inner strength and can no longer rebuild the Divine Dragon Sect, I might as well follow Lord Li and set up a stall to sell boxed lunches."
Li Huan said, "Your Highness, Long'er has already submitted to me. I hope Your Highness will keep your word and not harm Long'er again."
Wu Sangui said, "Since Long'er has submitted to Lord Li, she is Lord Li's person. How dare I offend her?"
Feng Xifan suddenly asked, "Long'er, to whom did you pass on 80% of your power?"
Wu Yingxiong said, "Could it be that it was passed on to Lord Li, who saved you?"
Long'er snorted and ignored Feng Xifan and Wu Yingxiong.
Li Huan said with a smile, "Long'er's 80% power has indeed been passed on to me."
Wu Yingxiong exclaimed, "Eighty percent of your power! Lord Li, aren't you now a master of martial arts?"
Li Huan said, "Even if I have 80% of my ability, it's useless! I still won't know martial arts!"
Feng Xifan said, "Lord Li is too modest. To possess 80% of Long'er's strength is enough to make you a first-rate master!"
Li Huan shook his head: "You don't know the truth, I know nothing about martial arts, I only have internal energy."
Princess Jianning said, "Lord Li is proficient in his family's 'Northern Darkness Divine Art,' which can absorb the true energy and internal strength of the opponent. Previously, Lord Li absorbed Ao Bai's internal strength before he was able to eliminate Ao Bai!"
Feng Xifan exclaimed in surprise: "The Northern Darkness Divine Skill, a miraculous martial art that has been lost for hundreds of years!"
Li Huan nodded: "That's right! My own internal strength was already very profound, but I couldn't use it. After obtaining Long'er's internal strength, I had no use for it at all!"
Feng Xifan said, "What a pity, what a pity."
Li Huan said, "It's no pity. I've never been interested in fighting and killing. It doesn't matter if I don't know martial arts. As long as I can absorb the opponent's internal energy, I can defend myself and ensure my safety!"
Wu Yingxiong laughed and said, "Lord Li possesses profound internal strength, but it's not applicable. Why not pass some on to me?"
Li Huan laughed: "Send it to you?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded: "Yes, send it to me."
Li Huan said, "As the heir apparent, you have many experts under your command. What do you need your inner strength for? To show off and pick up girls, or to act cool and arrogant?"
Wu Yingxiong asked curiously, "Trying to look cool and aloof? What do you mean?"
Li Huan said, "Alright, enough talk, let's continue the lottery!"
"Wait!" Wu Sangui said, looking at Zhang Rushan, "Sect Leader Zhang, are you really unwilling to serve me?"
Zhang Rushan swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled, "The Wudang Sect never serves anyone. I appreciate Your Highness's kindness!"
Wu Sangui looked disappointed.
Li Huan almost burst out laughing.
Wu Sangui, that old fox, racked his brains to bribe experts and played a lottery game in an attempt to win over the big shots in the martial arts world.
As a result, both the leader of the Kongtong Sect and the leader of the Wudang Sect refused to submit to Wu Sangui.
The old fox's wishful thinking has backfired.
"Continue the lottery!" Wu Sangui ordered in a displeased tone.
Princess Jianning reached into the box again, rummaged around, and quickly pulled out a slip of paper.
Wu Yingxiong took the note and handed it to Wu Sangui.
Unfolding the slip of paper, Wu Sangui read aloud: "Emei Sect Leader—Zhou Yaoqin!"
A burst of laughter erupted from the audience!
"Haha, Master won the lottery!"
"Master is so lucky!"
Amidst laughter, a woman leaped into the air and flew onto the high platform.
Li Huan observed intently.
Zhou Yaoqin, the leader of the Emei Sect, is surprisingly young, no more than thirty years old.
She was tall and beautiful, with a touch of heroism.
The key point is that she is not a nun.
Wu Sangui's eyes lit up as he admired Zhou Yaoqin: "I have long admired Master Zhou. Meeting you today, Master Zhou's demeanor is truly dazzling, and your reputation is well-deserved!"
Zhou Yaoqin smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind!"
Wu Sangui said politely, "Please take a seat, Master Zhou, and enjoy the dishes!"
Zhou Yaoqin took her seat, picked up her chopsticks, and took a piece of "Fragrant Sticky Rice Chicken" to savor.
This time, Wu Sangui did not rush to ask Zhou Yaoqin if she was willing to submit. Instead, he gestured and ordered his guards to bring silver.
Each winner will not only be able to enjoy the dishes, but will also receive one thousand taels of silver.
Although Zong Fengming and Zhang Rushan were unwilling to submit to Wu Sangui, the old fox still generously gave them a thousand taels of silver to prove that he kept his word.
Li Huan looked at Zhou Yaoqin, who was tasting the dishes, and said with a smile, "For a sect leader like Zhou to become the leader of the Emei Sect at such a young age, she must have extraordinary abilities!"
Zhou Yaoqin said, "You flatter me, Lord Li."
Her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was extremely calm.
Li Huan said, "I'll ask on behalf of the prince: are you willing to submit to the prince and serve him?"
Zhou Yaoqin said, "I greatly admire Your Highness. As for whether I am willing to submit to Your Highness, I will decide when I participate in the second round of the competition!"
The implication is that Zhou Yaoqin is preparing to join the second round of the competition.
Wu Sangui's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Zong Fengming said, "What a coincidence, I am also preparing to participate in the second round of the competition."
Zhang Rushan said, "I'm also planning to participate, hahaha..."
Zhou Yaoqin said, "It is indeed a coincidence that the sect leader, the sect leader, and I were all drawn in the lottery and we all plan to participate in the second round of the competition."
Zong Fengming raised his thick eyebrows: "I wonder what dishes Headmaster Zhou is preparing to cook?"
Zhou Yaoqin said, "Sect Leader, do you think I would announce my dishes in advance?"
"Hahaha..." Zong Fengming laughed, "No, Sect Leader Zhou probably won't announce it in advance. I was just being nosy."
Zhang Rushan said, "After tasting Lord Li's 'Eight Treasures Osmanthus Fish,' I am truly ashamed of my inferiority!"
Zhou Yaoqin said, "Since you are ashamed of your own inferiority, why should Sect Leader Zhang participate in the second round of the competition?"
Zhang Rushan said, "Lord Li's 'Eight Treasures Osmanthus Fish' gave me some inspiration. I have decided to reconsider my dishes, change the ingredients, and also change the cooking method."
Zong Fengming said, "To be honest, I share the same thoughts as Sect Leader Zhang."
The three sect leaders tasted the food and chatted, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.
Li Huan, however, realized that the three of them were actually secretly competing with each other...
