Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 775 - Is He the Heir of the Li
Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Is He the Heir of the Li Family?【45th Update】 Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Is He the Heir of the Li Family?【45th Update】 “Oh yes, I’ve mentioned you to Mom, and she’s very pleased with you.” Li Yinghua nodded earnestly.
Li Xiaoyao’s forehead crinkled with three lines of frustration, “Your mom has never met me, yet she’s very satisfied with me? Are you sure you’re not joking with me?”
Li Yinghua shook her head, “I told her about your deeds, and she was especially excited when she learned that you entered the Li Family’s forbidden grounds; she even told me to make sure to win you over.”
Li Xiaoyao was utterly speechless, while the two Chengfengs in front couldn’t hold back their laughter and struggled to keep it in.
Girls with such pure innocence are truly rare nowadays.
Li Xiaoyao began to wonder whether this girl was genuinely naive and unfamiliar with worldly ways or was she pretending to be foolish?
From the clarity of her eyes, it seemed more likely that it was the former.
...
Such a purely innocent girl is hard to find in this world, but with her naivety, she is also very susceptible to being led astray by others.
She would probably believe anything anyone told her.
After an excruciatingly awkward conversation with Li Yinghua, Li Xiaoyao finally got a rough understanding of her family structure.
All three members of Li Yinghua’s family were ordinary clan members of the Li Family, ordinary to what extent?
Li Yinghua’s mother had no cultivation level, and neither did her father, both of whom were responsible for managing the Ancient Li Family’s business affairs in Yun Country, with a net worth in the billions, and with the backing of the Li Family, held an enviable social status in the secular world.
As for Li Yinghua herself, she was a cultivator, but with only average talent for cultivation. Combined with her simplistic mindset and lack of exposure to ill-intentioned individuals, she would often get pushed around by fellow clan members into all sorts of menial tasks.
Li Yinghua’s parents probably felt helpless, thinking initially that their daughter possessed no talent for cultivation. If that were the case, their family of three, even though they could not live the long life of cultivators, could at least live a carefree life.
Unfortunately, Li Yinghua did possess talent for cultivation, it was just average, and it wasn’t valued by the Li Family, relegating her to the status of a most ordinary clan member.
What being an ordinary clan member meant within the Li Family was something Li Yinghua’s parents knew all too well. They tried various ways to take Li Yinghua out of the family clan, but there were always those who would secretly thwart their efforts.
The good fortune was that within the Ancient Li Family, her parents’ adversaries couldn’t truly do anything drastic or harmful to Li Yinghua.
The Li Family Clan rules were strict, and if anyone dared to break the rules, they would inevitably be punished.
It was only occasional teasing and ostracism that made Li Yinghua feel annoyed and powerless. When she was sad and distressed, all she could do was call her mother to vent.
After hearing everything, Li Xiaoyao patted her on the head and asked, “Do you want to leave here?”
Li Yinghua looked up and asked, “Are you going to take me away to wander the world?”
Li Xiaoyao: “…”
“Not to wander, just to change the way we live.” Around a bend, the residence of the Clan Leader came into sight.
“We’re here.” Li Yinghua suddenly stopped, and while the stretch of road was not long, the time she spent talking with Li Xiaoyao made her somewhat reluctant to part.
He ruffled her hair gently, her faint scent wafting into his nose, and Li Xiaoyao said, “Wait for me here.”
The disappointed look on Li Yinghua’s face instantly disappeared, and she nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Walking into the living room, Li Zhan and seven Ancestral Elders were already waiting there.
Seeing the three Chengfengs arrive, Li Zhan stood up proactively and approached to welcome them. Such a gesture was enough to show respect for Li Xiaoyao.
Whether it was the Ancient Li Family or the Xuan Country Li Family, both originally shared the same roots. Even though the overall strength of the Xuan Country Li Family was somewhat inferior, the blood connection between them had long been indistinguishable.
“Chengfeng, it’s been a long time, I hope all is well with you.” Given that Li Zhan was of a higher generational rank than Li Chengfeng, it would not have been out of place for him to adopt an elder’s manner. However, he chose to interact with him as an equal, giving full face to Li Chengfeng.
“You flatter me, Clan Leader.” When others show respect, it’s a sign of esteem, and Li Chengfeng was very precise in his grasp of such nuances.
“Come, let’s sit down and talk.”
As they took their seats, Li Xiaoyao’s thoughts enveloped the living room. Every person’s expression was clearly etched in his mind, without the slightest deviation.
Ancestral Elder Li Zhuo, with a cold gaze, looked toward Li Xiaoyao, while the other six Ancestral Elders wore smiles and appeared very amiable.
Li Zhan didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, “Tomorrow’s Li Family successor ceremony is the most important event for our family. At that time, I will personally hand over the Li Family token to Xiaoyao.”
“Wait a moment.” Li Chengfeng was startled, thinking he had misheard. He quickly asked, “Clan Leader, did you just say you’re going to hand the token to Xiaoyao?”
“Yes, to him.”
“But isn’t this the Li Family successor ceremony?”
Seeing such a strong reaction from him, Li Zhan smacked his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly, “Look at my memory. I forgot to mention that tomorrow’s Li Family successor ceremony is indeed being held for Xiaoyao.”
“You mean…” Li Chengfeng’s eyes widened in disbelief, his sentence trailing off, unable to articulate the rest – it all just seemed too surreal to him.
Li Xiaoyao, his son, a member of Xuan Country’s Li Family, was to be the star of tomorrow’s Li Family succession ceremony?
He knew that Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation talent was frightening, and that his cultivation level reigned supreme among his peers; yet, this was, after all, the Ancient Li Family.

As far as he knew, there had never been a precedent of choosing the Ancient Li Family successor from a branch family.
If it weren’t for the fact that this arrangement seemed to be completely beneficial to Li Xiaoyao without any harm, he would have suspected that the Ancient Li Family was planning some sort of scheme against Li Xiaoyao.
“The Li Family successor is Li Xiaoyao?” In that moment, Li Chengfeng had a lot to process, but his excitement gradually calmed.
Indeed, upon comparison, there seemed to be no one in the entire Ancient Li Family quite on par with Li Xiaoyao.
Even Li Longxiang, who possessed the strongest cultivation level and talent, had just been defeated by Li Xiaoyao in the square.
If Li Xiaoyao weren’t chosen as the Li Family successor, that would truly seem suspect.
It’s just that in their hearts, they were still acutely aware of the differences between the two Li Families, which is why they never considered Li Xiaoyao seriously before.
Now that they thought about it, Li Xiaoyao indeed seemed the most fitting and qualified candidate.
Li Xiaoyao too was surprised and incredulous.
From what Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming described about the status of the Li Family successor, anyone who could assume this role would at the very least reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the future.
A cultivator’s capacity to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm is closely linked to their innate cultivation talent and perseverance. However, it is also inseparable from whether their family is willing to allot substantial cultivation resources.
By choosing him as the successor for this generation, the Ancient Li Family is almost certainly committing to cultivating him into the strongest of his era within the Family.
Furthermore, as the Li Family successor, the Ancient Li Family would also become his strongest backing.
In light of all this, such a windfall seemed too unreal to be true.
