Aunt Xiang helped Cui Rong back into bed . She then left quickly, afraid that the Li family would be unhappy if they found out that she had blurted out this information . That would be horrible .
Though the Li family was not considered to be very powerful, to the villagers, they were like huge monsters . How could a normal citizen expect to dispute with them? That would be digging their own grave!
Not too long after Aunt Xiang had left, a group of people entered the home . The leader of the group was the Young Master of the Li family, Li Ying .
"Cui Rong, have you considered it? Hand Que'er over to me and I will send someone to give you medical treatment!"
Li Ying looked at Cui Rong arrogantly as if he was doing her a huge favor by being charitable .
"Young Master Li, I've told you this, Que'er has recognized someone from the First City as her Master . She can't go back on her word . I'd like you to leave, Young Master Li . "
"Cui Rong, if you won't do this the easy way, we can do it the hard way! What kind of existence does the First City hold? It's like a kingdom of gods to us secular world people . Que'er's talents are indeed substantial but she's not so exceptional that someone from the First City would have taken notice of her . You should find a better excuse to reject me . Do you really think that I would believe that a member of the First City had taken notice of Que'er?"
Cui Rong was shaken and quickly explained, "That lady was really from the First City . Besides, she has even given the First City's token to me and asked Que'er to find her in the First City when she is older . I'm telling the truth . "
"Hahaha . "
Li Ying burst into wild laughter . "Cui Rong, if you had not made this excuse up to reject me then you've been deceived! I will now educate you on how the First City operates! Martial Saint cultivators are the starting rank for First City cultivators! Besides, I can tell you that most families don't have the right to hold entry tokens into the First City . Only the Governer's Palace and the Four Great Protectors are in possession of those tokens in the First City . "
He then laughed icily . "You claim that she had given you an entry token from the First City? This means that she might have been from one of the Four Great Protectors . Do you think that I'm a fool? The Four Great Protectors are like gods . Why would they have taken notice of Que'er?"
Actually, he had only heard news regarding the First City from the mouths of others . He was not well-versed in the inner workings of the First City at all .
For example, the Secret Order's existence was not in his area of knowledge . . .
"She had appeared from the sky . "
Suddenly, Cui Rong remembered something and quickly exclaimed, "I had seen it very clearly . That lady had descended from the sky . She has great power! She must be a member of the First City . "
"Haha . "
Li Ying burst into laughter again . "Descended from the sky? Cui Rong, you really are an idiot . Let me tell you something . As long as a person is at the Martial Emperor rank, they can fly across the sky . The Li family has several Martial Emperors amongst us . I, myself, will soon break through to the Martial Emperor rank too . This doesn't count for much . You definitely haven't seen the world! You would think that if one could fly, that person must be from the First City? What a joke!"
"No!" Cui Rong vehemently denied Li Ying . "Que'er has accepted her possession . That proves that she is now her disciple . As humans, we can't break our promises! Otherwise, how are we any different from animals?"
