Chapter 320: It's Actually Him!
'The Profound Sun Holy Son, Li Xun, wants to see me?'
Jiang Linghe felt completely dazed along the way. He didn't know how he'd boarded the flying treasure, nor did he remember how he'd arrived at the Jiang Clan's main hall.
At this moment, his mind was filled with a single thought—
That he, of all people, actually had the chance to come into close contact with the Profound Sun Holy Son, Li Xun!
One had to know that although he was born into the Jiang Clan, he unquestionably belonged to its very bottom tier. If not for the identity of being the Patriarch's illegitimate son, his treatment would probably have been worse than that of some servants. He had never imagined that he could ever have anything to do with a figure like Li Xun.
After all, the two of them didn't even live in the same world.
Even Jiang Lingsheng had to put on a polite, flattering smile when facing Li Xun, let alone him.
It wasn't until he reached the front of the great hall that a gust of cold wind swept past.
Jiang Linghe shivered, finally snapping back to his senses. He looked around and saw quite a few outstanding youths of the younger generation. These were the rising stars of the Jiang Clan.
Their strength was roughly on par with his, but the difference was that they were all teenagers, or even children of eight or nine years old.
'So it's not just me?' Jiang Linghe gave a bitter smile.
Sure enough, he'd been overthinking things.
What kind of figure was the Profound Sun Holy Son, Li Xun? How could he possibly call him by name and ask to see him?
Most likely, the people Li Xun truly wanted to meet were Qi Condensation Realm geniuses. He just happened to be in the Qi Condensation Realm as well, so he'd been pulled along to make up the numbers.
"Why is he here too?"
Someone in the crowd noticed Jiang Linghe and spoke in surprise.
"Brother Li Xun said he was looking for someone, they seemed to be at the Qi Condensation Realm, but he didn't specify who. So he was brought along as well."
"I see."
"This time, Brother Li Xun meeting us might be an opportunity. He's already a Divine Palace Realm expert, just a little casual guidance or a scrap of fortune from him would be more than enough for us."
"With Brother Li Xun's level of strength, he wouldn't take interest in a piece of trash."
Listening to the surrounding discussion, Jiang Linghe remained unmoved.
Over the past twenty years, he had heard this kind of talk countless times. Many of the remarks had been far more vicious than these.
Yet none of them could shake his state of mind.
Though his strength wasn't impressive, his ability to cultivate composure was exceptional. Without such a mindset, with his level of talent, he would have died of despair long ago.
Just as Jiang Linghe closed his eyes to rest his spirit, an aged voice echoed out from within the great hall.
"Come in, all of you."
At those words, everyone's spirits lifted, and they stepped into the hall.
After entering, Jiang Linghe followed the arrangements of the Jiang Clan members and stood in the last row, head lowered. Using only the corner of his eye, he quietly surveyed the grand hall beneath his feet.
This was the Jiang Clan's hall for receiving distinguished guests.
The entire space was vast and resplendent, majestic and imposing, like a celestial palace in the nine heavens—boundless and transcendent. If not for Li Xun requesting to see them today, he likely would never have set foot in this hall for his entire life.
At the very top of the hall, the seat that belonged to the host was now empty.
On the right stood an elder. Jiang Linghe recognized him—his name was Jiang Yunzong, a powerful and influential elder of the Jiang Clan. At this moment, he wore a broad, ingratiating smile as he explained something to a young man in purple robes seated on the left.
This scene left many people utterly astonished.
Elder Jiang Yunzong was well known throughout the Jiang Clan for his stern demeanor. He was usually extremely strict with the clan's disciples, rarely showing a smile. Yet today, he appeared exceptionally gentle.
Like a kindly old man, he seemed unusually talkative.
'The Profound Sun Holy Son!'
The moment he saw that purple-clad figure, Jiang Linghe's heart jolted. Back at the mountain gate, he hadn't clearly seen Li Xun's face—only a fleeting glance, enough for him to feel that this Profound Sun Holy Son truly lived up to his reputation, radiating unparalleled bearing.
Now that he saw him again, the shock in his heart grew even stronger.
It was as if he were facing a youthful Immortal King. From deep within, an involuntary sense of reverence arose.
While Jiang Linghe was still lost in a daze, he suddenly saw Li Xun slightly turn his head, look in his direction, and gently nod with a smile.
That tiny gesture struck like a bolt of lightning.
Jiang Linghe froze on the spot, almost suspecting that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
'Brother Li Xun… is greeting me?'
It was simply unbelievable.
He was nothing more than a piece of trash, what virtue or ability did he have to deserve Li Xun's acknowledgment?
"Brother Li Xun, all the Qi Condensation Realm disciples from the Jiang Clan who went to the mountain gate today are here. Do you see the person you mentioned earlier among them?"
Jiang Yunzong stroked his beard and smiled.
At the same time, he was observing the younger generation below. He had to admit that the Jiang Clan's youth were indeed quite outstanding. Some were only around ten years old, yet had already reached the Qi Condensation Realm.
Placed in the outside world, they would unquestionably be top-tier genius seedlings.
Given time, while becoming Saints might be too much to say, becoming Divine Palace Realm experts was almost guaranteed.
Of course. It would have been even better if that eyesore, Jiang Linghe, weren't present.
But who could blame it?
He just happened to have gone to the Jiang Clan's mountain gate today as well.
"The Jiang Clan truly lives up to its heritage as descendants of the Flaming Feather Emperor. The clan's geniuses are all extraordinarily gifted."
Li Xun first offered a casual compliment. Then his gaze fell upon Jiang Linghe in the crowd as he spoke calmly, "As for the person I mentioned earlier, he is indeed here."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yunzong paused mid–beard-stroke and asked with curiosity, "May I know who it is?"
Li Xun did not reply.
He raised a single finger. A trace of radiant light bloomed at his fingertip, spanning the entire great hall. Before everyone's eyes, it shot forward and sank directly into Jiang Linghe's forehead.
The scene unfolded far too suddenly.
Many people hadn't even had time to react.
"This—!"
Jiang Yunzong's face twitched as he murmured in disbelief, "It's actually him?"
"How could this be?"
Jiang Lingsheng also spoke up. He looked at Li Xun, then at Jiang Linghe beside him, his eyes filled with utter incredulity. No matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that Li Xun would bestow an opportunity upon Jiang Linghe.
As for the item Li Xun had just given—
Though Li Xun hadn't said what it was, one didn't need to think hard to know it was certainly no ordinary thing.
Li Xun was the dignified Profound Sun Holy Son, someone who had even annihilated the vast Spirit Clan. How could he possibly hand out something mundane?
At the very least, it had to be a Heaven divine technique or cultivation technique.
There's also a chance that it's a Saint divine technique or cultivation technique!
