Li Xinge, let me see what you're made of!

Chapter 514: Li Xinge, let me see what you're made of! The Chancellor's Residence.

Wen Zhong's study.

A young man stood before Chancellor Wen Zhong.

He looked to be in his early twenties, with fair, handsome features. His eyes and brows bore a sixty-to-seventy-percent resemblance to Wen Zhong's, but he lacked some of the deeply concealed cunning of an old schemer, possessing instead the refined pride of a young aristocratic nobleman.

This young man was Wen Zhong's youngest son, Wen Zhongyan.

In Shenjing City, Wen Zhongyan had long enjoyed a reputation for resourcefulness.

He was only fifty this year, yet his cultivation had already reached the middle stage innate realm.

Wen Zhong had seven sons in all.

Some might wonder why Wen Zhong had only seven sons despite having lived so long.

Naturally, it was because the higher a cultivator's cultivation, the less likely he was to produce offspring.

Of course, when a powerful cultivator did have a child, that child's talent would naturally be far from poor.

Wen Zhongyan had been born after Wen Zhong broke through to the divine mansion realm.

Thus, his talent reached the fifth grade, making him the descendant of Wen Zhongyan with the greatest hope of breaking through to the divine mansion realm.

Wen Zhong placed tremendous hopes in him.

From childhood, he had built up his son's influence and cultivated his reputation.

"Father."

Wen Zhongyan cupped his hands and bowed to Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong smiled faintly. "Rise. Zhong Yan, I summoned you today because there is something I need to tell you."

"Please, Father."

Wen Zhong cleared his throat softly. "At court today, His Majesty named Li Xuanxian Governor of the newly established Eastern Prefecture. You are to be its chief administrator."

"Chief administrator of Eastern Prefecture?"

Wen Zhongyan's eyes lit up.
