Li Yun did not tell Chen Yi about his background in detail.
Now that Chen Yi had done him a great favor, he took the initiative to open up about his feelings.
It turns out that he was born into a Li family in the capital of the Red Dragon Kingdom, and was raised as a successor from a young age.
The family had high hopes for him, expecting him to one day take up a position in the central court and inherit the throne.
However, during an exam to obtain the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate ahead of schedule, he met Song Xin.
This envoy from the Hidden Moon Sect is secretly selecting qualified candidates.
Later, a series of events occurred, including the fratricide between brothers, which made Li Yun want to escape the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.
He did not want to participate in the treacherous power struggles of officialdom, arranged by his family.
But given the Li family's background, even if he fled the capital and went to a remote city, he would not be able to escape the family's control.
Therefore, he followed Song Xin and joined the Hidden Moon Cult.
The Li family is now succeeded by his more capable younger brother...
However, Li Yun knew some of the higher-ups' thoughts regarding the former successor.
The Human Emperor's lineage and the Jueyin lineage are not the same kind of lineage. Although they do not have a natural enemy relationship like the Giant Yang lineage, they are not willing to be suppressed forever.
The decline of the Human Emperor lineage has resulted in the Red Dragon Kingdom not having produced a "Human Emperor" for thousands of years.
The common goal of the entire Crimson Dragon Kingdom's elite is to cultivate a human emperor.
That's why he made that guess.
Ma Guangzhi also guessed that Li Yun must have an extraordinary background, and that his family was likely involved with high-level Golden Core cultivators...
“Now that we know all this, shouldn’t we report it?” Chen Yi nudged Li Yun. “I even suspect that those people have connections with the Thief Heaven Sect.”
Li Yun shook her head.
“Since they dare to do it, they will definitely do it flawlessly. Based on what the two of us have said, the sect will at most send a Golden Core cultivator to investigate, but it is estimated that they will find it difficult to find anything.”
"I'll handle this. You've only recently joined the church; it's best to avoid getting involved in this kind of conflict..."
Ma Guangzhi looked at the two of them speechlessly.
"No, I'm still a citizen of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom. Is it appropriate for you to say these things to my face?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "Junior Brother Chen, don't worry too much. The Hidden Moon Sect has placed many people in various countries. They probably already know about the movements in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom..."
He had barely finished speaking when he received a message.
Upon opening it, I was surprised to find it was a temporary task sent by the cult.
Chen Yi also received a message.
"Temporary overseas assignment: The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect currently within the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom must use the name of a company under the sect's name to launch the Immortal Examination."
"Each school naming rights secured will earn you 50 contribution points. Reaching certain milestones will also grant additional contribution incentives!"
He asked with a strange look, "Can the Immortal Examination be named?"
Principal Ma immediately stood up. "Of course! I've never heard of an exam not allowing naming rights!"
“In those big city high schools, there are several sponsors for monthly exams. It’s just that in Xiande, there aren’t any big companies, so it’s usually just the school board that sponsors us.”
"What, are you going to insert an ad slot?"
When it comes to money, Ma Guangzhi is no longer tired.
"Tomorrow is the Immortal Examination, and now is the last chance for the title sponsor to join."
Chen Yi and Li Yun couldn't help but rub their foreheads.
Li Yun said, "The Hidden Moon Sect has started to spread its propaganda widely; perhaps they are really about to make some big moves..."
He knew that personnel replenishment would only be planned on the eve of a major battle.
However, since he was already there and had the opportunity to meet Principal Ma, Chen Yi certainly wouldn't miss it.
He asked Li Yun, "What industries does our sect have in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom?"
Li Yun rattled off the list with ease: "There are quite a few. The largest wedding website in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, White Moonlight Wedding Website, is a business of the Hidden Moon Sect. There's also Red Moon Laundry Detergent, Greedy Full Moon Game Company, and so on..."
Chen Yi blinked. "Why are they all like this? I thought they were finance or real estate or something."
Li Yun gave a wry smile: "Those important pillar industries are being fought over by the wealthy families of Chilong Kingdom. If outsiders want to get a piece of the pie, they will be besieged first."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi nodded.
After all, it's a business competition, and the Hidden Moon Sect can't very well send out a Nascent Soul ancestor to suppress them by force, can it?
How is this any different from using nuclear bombs to break down trade barriers?
Li Yun whispered, "However, I've heard that some True Persons within the sect have agents who hold controlling stakes in the core industries of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom."
"Tsk! Even cultivation becomes complicated once money gets involved!"
After Chen Yi and Li Yun contacted some companies controlled by the Yanyue Sect and obtained permission, they began to negotiate with surrounding middle schools.
There are only a handful of schools in the entire city that are truly qualified to serve as examination venues for the Xiankao (a type of imperial examination), and in Xiande City, there is only Xiande Middle School.
Relying on his acquaintance with Wang Bian of Cangyan High School, Chen Yi quickly secured a second deal.
With Manli around, the Beastmen are naturally no problem to deal with.
In just a few phone calls, he secured three exam venues and earned 150 contribution points!
Isn't this faster than those missions in the Mission Hall?
Moreover, Chen Yi had his eye on a Foundation Establishment artifact during this period, worth 150,000 contribution points.
Already burdened with a loan, he could only desperately try to earn contribution points.
Li Yun was equally unwilling to be outdone. He had already spent all his savings to save Song Xin, so he naturally wouldn't let go of any task that could easily earn him contribution points.
Relying on the connections he had built up with the Li family in the past, he successively secured deals with dozens of middle schools. The speed at which he earned contributions made Chen Yi extremely envious.
Fortunately, he came up with a new solution.
He called Yu Qian directly, saying he wanted to talk business with her.
Yu Qian was quite surprised, "When did you get back?"
Chen Yi left without saying goodbye, which saddened both Wu Lingyao for a long time, and they both cursed him as a scumbag.
She also tried calling Chen Yi, but couldn't get through; he said he was out of service area...
"Wait a minute, let's talk in person!" Yu Qian gave an address and then hurriedly hung up.
Chen Yi could only say goodbye to Principal Ma before leaving the office.
He arrived at a teahouse in the city of Sentosa.
Before long, two beautiful figures appeared before him.
"Long time no see." Chen Yi smiled slightly.
Wu Lingyao and Yu Qian sat opposite him, looking at Chen Yi with scrutinizing eyes.
What's with those expressions?
"It's all because someone left without saying goodbye, never considering us friends!" Yu Qian snorted.
Chen Yi scratched his cheek. "Well, the situation was special at the time, and you weren't at school, so I thought I'd talk about it when I got back!"
Wu Lingyao stared at Chen Yi for a long time before asking, "How are you doing over there?"
Chen Yi shrugged: "It's alright, I'm also cultivating over there. But it's even more hectic than here..."
Yu Qian rolled her eyes: "Alright, what do you want from me?"
Chen Yi then shared his thoughts.
After hearing this, Yu Qian's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yao'er, look, we still have to participate in the Immortal Examination. Lord Chen Yi has already started thinking about naming the Immortal Examination. That's truly remarkable!"
Wu Lingyao: "......"
Ignoring Yu Qian's teasing, Chen Yi asked with a serious expression, "Is it feasible?"
