Chapter 105 - Liu Qingshan
*Click!*
The back door of the luxurious commercial vehicle was opened, and Liu Muxiao sat straight inside.
"Miss, is your private business finished?"
Butler Li looked towards Liu Muxiao through the rearview mirror.
He discovered that a smile actually appeared on his young lady's face, surprisingly; this was truly rare to see!
"En, let's go back."
Liu Muxiao nodded to signal.
"By the way, Miss, the Head of the Family... asked you to go over today. Most likely, it is about your failure in the national competition this time."
Hearing this, Liu Muxiao rubbed her head, which felt a bit swollen, and let out a helpless sigh, saying:
"Alright, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Let's go see what they have to say."
The Liu family mansion.
The central reception hall.
A gray-haired old man, closing his eyes to rest his mind, sat high in the hall.
His demeanor was solemn; despite having a head full of white hair, not a single wrinkle could be seen on his face.
The old man's name was Liu Qingshan, who is said to be the most representative figure of the Liu family.
A Tier 8 Agent, his strength was unfathomable!
The eight players in his hands were all at the Demigod level, and there were even two at the peak of Demigods.
From this, it could be seen that Liu Qingshan's strength must at least be an existence at the peak of Demigods.
However, some people speculated that he might have already reached the True God realm.
If calculated by player level, it would be between Level 130 and Level 160.
He was considered the highest combat power in the Great Xia.
An existence close to the pinnacle of humanity!
After all, the highest level recorded for humanity was only Level 152.
Standing around the hall were countless direct and collateral descendants of the Liu family.
Both the younger and older generations had arrived in full.
There were even some elders.
They whispered to each other, discussing spiritedly.
They all seemed to be waiting for the protagonist of this incident to arrive.
"Liu Muxiao pays respects to the Head of the Family."
Finally, a beautiful figure slowly stepped into the hall from outside the door.
Liu Muxiao bowed very respectfully to Liu Qingshan.
"Hand it over."
A cold voice echoed throughout the hall.
Liu Qingshan's expression was calm, and he didn't even open his eyes, merely speaking indifferently.
His voice was not loud, but it could be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Liu Muxiao took a deep breath, white light flashing at her fingertips.
A lustrous white Class Card emerged from the air.
Without a doubt, this was her SSS-Rank Class Card, "Heaven Punishing Formation Immortal."
With the appearance of this card, Liu Muxiao pressed her pale, slender finger against the column of the card where her name was engraved.
——————————————————
[Do you wish to delete your authorization for this Class Card?]
[Yes] [No]
[Note: After deletion, your level will return to zero.]
——————————————————
"Yes!"
Liu Muxiao directly selected yes.
Soon, the three characters "Liu Muxiao" on the lustrous white Class Card gradually vanish.
An intense wave of dizziness invaded her brain.
Along with the dissipation of her name, Liu Muxiao only felt an intense fatigue surge into her heart.
Her face turned pale with a *swoosh*.
Seeing this, a butler bowed forward very tactfully, receiving the lustrous white Class Card from Liu Muxiao's hand with both hands.
And placed it inside a sandalwood brocade box, respectfully pushing it to the side.
At the same time, the gazes of the various young members present were all fixed on the sandalwood brocade box in that butler's hand, their eyes filled with greed and desire.
Liu Muxiao's abdication undoubtedly gave an opportunity to the younger generation members of theirs.
"Give me a reason."
The majestic voice echoed through the hall once again.
Without a doubt, this was Liu Qingshan questioning Liu Muxiao as to why she wanted to give up her qualification for the national competition.
Of course, a dispensable competition was naturally of no significance to the Liu family.
But what they cared about was the Battle of the Heirs half a month later!
This was an agreement of many years between the two major ancient aristocratic families of Great Xia.
This affected the Liu family's status and reputation within the United Merchant Guild.
And the so-called Heir—
Was the representative figure of the younger generation put forward by the United Merchant Guild.
Its importance was similar to the Saintess of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Buddha Son of the Buddhist Sect.
It was the symbol of the facade!
And the aristocratic family where the Heir belonged possessed certain privileges.
And the Liu family had not obtained the honor of the Heir for nearly a century.
On the contrary, the other ancient aristocratic family standing in Great Xia, the "Ling Family," had suppressed them for three consecutive terms!
Although Liu Muxiao was a failed product and had not met the expectations of the Liu family.
She nevertheless possessed remarkable combat talent, and during the experiments, accidentally awakened a special constitution.
Coupled with the dwindling of talents in the Liu family over these years, there were indeed very few who could be up to the task.
Although they were unwilling to admit it, Liu Muxiao, this illegitimate daughter of an impure bloodline, was the best candidate for this term's Battle of the Heirs.
A pity...
Liu Muxiao went back on her promise.
Therefore, according to the agreement, the SSS-Rank Class Card bestowed upon her by the family ought to be reclaimed.
After all, in Liu Qingshan's eyes, his own majesty and the family rules he set were inviolable.
Because he felt that his own prestige was far more important than the family!
So he blamed all the reasons on Liu Muxiao's lack of strength.
"I have the confidence to raise my strength to the corresponding level before the Battle of the Heirs and defeat the opponent."
Liu Muxiao responded with a bow, concise and comprehensive.
But these words of hers drew ridicule and sarcasm from many of the younger generation.
"Heh! Who can't talk big? Previously, you even guaranteed the national competition championship, and as a result, that was it?"
"Exactly, exactly! A bastard is just a bastard."
"Indeed, all of your achievements, including that special constitution, were bestowed upon you by the family."
Their meaning was very clear, implying 'if I went up, I could do it too.'
After all, Liu Muxiao's status as an illegitimate daughter was originally not welcomed in the family.
But as it turned out, she was the most outstanding one!
Whether it was combat skills or practical combat experience, she was the most excellent.
This point could be seen from the battle between Liu Muxiao and Ye Xiaoxiao.
The "Heaven Punishing Formation Immortal" class itself was a class with a weakness in melee combat.
Yet Liu Muxiao uniquely relied on her own hard work and exquisite fighting skills to make up for this shortcoming.
Coupled with the fact that afterward, she awakened a special constitution.
This was also the reason why she, with the lowly status of an illegitimate daughter, could win the championship in the contention for the Class Card.
After all, SSS-Rank Class Cards were limited; even the stock of the aristocratic families was not much.
Therefore, within the family, a Class Card contention competition would always be held.
The person who won the top spot would naturally inherit the right to use the SSS-Rank Class Card.
"If you can accept those experiments, you would naturally also have a probability of obtaining a special constitution."
Liu Muxiao looked coldly at those young juniors, speaking mockingly.
Hearing these words, the juniors who were originally still mocking were instantly choked up.
Those so-called experiments made people's hearts turn cold just thinking about them.
There was even a risk of losing one's life.
"What's wrong? Quiet now?"
Liu Muxiao sneered, continuing to mock overbearingly:
"A pack of defeated opponents who only know how to bark in the dark, and you have the nerve to comment and judge in front of me?"
"Have you forgotten how you were pressed to the ground and rubbed by me before?"
Hearing these highly provocative words, the faces of the juniors turned red with anger.
"You fucking..."
"Silence!"
Just as the juniors were exasperated and about to speak out in rebuttal, the butler beside Liu Qingshan spoke abruptly.
Stopping this meaningless struggle.
"Liu Muxiao, I know you have made contact with that Agent named Ye Mo."
Speaking to this point, Liu Qingshan suddenly opened his sharp eyes.
"Do you feel that you have a better future in the hands of an outsider than in mine?"
Facing Liu Qingshan's questioning, Liu Muxiao took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and met his gaze.
"Yes!"
