The Difficulty of Tier Four, the Unfilial Son
A faint Nascent Soul pressure abruptly descended upon Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an showed a respectful expression at just the right moment and cupped his hands in a bow.
"Senior Canghong, this junior's aptitude is dull and his strength insufficient. I did not gain much in the Secret Realm."
As for the situations they might encounter after leaving the Secret Realm, he and the other two had long since discussed them.

Sure enough.
He asked coldly, "Little Friend Li, could it be that you did not participate in the Stair-Climbing Trial?"

Ning Mengwei also spoke up, speaking on Li Chang'an's behalf.
