Perhaps so noble families and clans may still hide their talented Spirit Children, but the majority of small noble families and ordinary families pin their hopes on their children entering the Divine Sect and changing their fates.
The status of the Divine Sect in the hearts of the people of Great Vista is exceedingly unusual.
However, just how many Spirit Children there will be in Fei Lei City this year is unknown.
Inside the inner room, his wife Zhang Ya was busy braiding Xi Xi's hair.
After waiting for a mont, Li Che left with his wife Zhang Ya, now prettily dressed, taking Xi Xi with them.
Li Qingshan and Lu Chi had already gone to the Golden Splendor Pavilion early. As representatives of the Divine Sect, they naturally could not accompany Li Che and his family.
Old Chen wasn't idling either, carrying his big wine gourd and following behind, planning to join in the excitent. Discover more stories at m,v l'e-
Just out of the alley, the family of his elder uncle, who had also moved to the Inner City, was already waiting in the cold wind.
His uncle was still wearing that scholarly robe, with a cotton garnt underneath, smoking a dry pipe.
Li Che's cousin, Li Zhengran, and his family were waiting nearby. Li Che's nephew, Li Chengzhou, was now three years old. Quieter than Xi Xi and tenderly fair, he was already showing hints of handsoness.
Upon seeing Li Che's family, his cousin Li Zhengran imdiately showed a smiling expression, as their family had been living very well in the Inner City thanks to Li Che's help.
Once Xi Xi left the alley, she wriggled her hand free from Li Che's and ran to Li Chengzhou.
"Chengzhou, little brother!"
Xi Xi confidently took Li Chengzhou's hand.
Li Chengzhou's tender face flushed red instantly, and he beca sowhat flustered for a mont.
"Little brother is so good-looking." Xi Xi stared at Li Chengzhou.
Li Chengzhou instinctively struggled and hid beside his aunt Liu Chunming.
"Don't be afraid, Chengzhou, sister is playing with you." Liu Chunming quickly comforted him.
Unperturbed, Xi Xi approached with a cheery bounce.
Li Che paused for a mont, sowhat speechless.
This girl... is so obsessed with looks at such a young age?
You didn't treat Big Head Lu like this.
Li Che pursed his lips and suddenly felt alard.
Wait, out of all the things to be wary of ... could Yellow Hair actually be my daughter?!
Along the way, the Inner City folks, who had rarely gone out since the Yang Family was wiped out, were now appearing one after another, all holding their children and heading towards the Golden Splendor Pavilion.
When they arrived at the Golden Splendor Pavilion, it was packed with people outside.
Li Qingshan had already arranged for Lu Chi to wait outside, and upon sighting Li Che's group, he led them into the pavilion, seated at a round table covered with a red cloth.
"Why are there so many people?" Li Che was slightly surprised.
"The number of children in Fei Lei City...seems to be more than I thought."
Li Che had thought that after the incident with the Spirit Infant Sect, the number of children in Fei Lei City would decrease significantly.
Lu Chi looked at Xi Xi, who was holding Li Chengzhou's palm, with a sowhat displeased expression, as he seed to have never received such treatnt.
Hearing what Li Che said, Lu Chi shook his Nezha braid and said, "Despite the large number of children who have co, there really aren't many Spirit Children..."
"The Spirit Infant Sect is only interested in Spirit Children, not just any child; if they're not Spirit Children, the sect won't even consider them."
Lu Chi's words were simple and direct.
Everyone sat down for the banquet, which was arranged by City Lord Cao Guang and funded by the governnt. Enjoying things for free, Li Che ate with great delight.
Although he had amassed a huge fortune from the Yang Family, he felt a different kind of joy in growing rich all of a sudden and another kind of pleasure from getting sothing for nothing.
Midway through the banquet,
after a brief speech by City Lord Cao Guang, Li Qingshan stood up gracefully, his gaze sweeping over the Golden Splendor Pavilion and the bustling crowd outside.
He saw many curious children blinking their eyes.
So people even brought out babies from their cradles, hoping to try their luck.
To such a scene, Li Qingshan remained composed and said lightly, "Next year, on the Spring Equinox of the second lunar month, Qian Yuan Divine Sect will open its mountain gate and recruit Spirit Children.
All children of citizens under the jurisdiction of Golden Light Prefecture City, aged three and above, will be tested, and those who are identified as Spirit Children, will be allowed to join our Divine Sect."
"The recruitnt assessnt will take place in Golden Light Prefecture City during the Spring Equinox of the second lunar month, separating the Outer Sect from the Inner Sect."
Li Qingshan's voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the entire Golden Splendor Pavilion, reaching almost everyone's ears.
At once, the crowd beca restless.
"Of course, apart from Spirit Children, those with decent Martial Path roots can also obtain the opportunity to go to the Prefecture City and participate in the sect recruitnt assessnt."
Li Qingshan added another sentence.
The atmosphere below grew even more eager, but Li Qingshan rely shook his head slightly.
He glanced at City Lord Cao Guang, who still wore an unwavering smile filled with joy.
"Children aged three and above may enter the Golden Splendor Pavilion, and I will use my Observation Skill to assess whether they are Spirit Children and if they possess the requisite roots. Those who don't et the conditions, should not bother entering the pavilion."
Li Qingshan announced.
Upon hearing these words, City Lord Cao Guang gestured, and imdiately Divine Catcher Zhang Xiangyang went to arrange for the eligible children to be brought into the Golden Splendor Pavilion.
The surroundings quietened down.
"I will assess them using the Divine Sect's 'Observation Skill.' Those with the Divinity of a Spirit Child will emit a purple glow. One purple light for Low Grade, three lights for Mid-grade, six lights for Superior Grade, and nine lights mark a Supre Spiritual Child..."
"Parents should pay close attention, as the Divine Sect selects Spirit Children with fairness and justice."
Li Qingshan spoke evenly.
As soon as the words were uttered, City Lord Cao Guang's expression slightly shifted, and the smile on his face stiffened, turning sowhat gloomy.
Li Qingshan was clearly doing this intentionally. Traditionally, greeters from the Divine Sect would secretly select the Spirit Children using the Observation Skill, but Li Qingshan insisted on making such a big fuss, obviously intending to make City Lord Cao Guang the butt of a joke.
