Compared to Li Chen, He Was Just a Roadside Nobody! (Please Subscribe and Vote with Monthly Tickets)

"Just hold the Hongmen Grand Competition as usual. After so many years away, I'd also like to see whether any promising young talents have emerged."

Inside the study, Luo Qimeng was reviewing documents when Qin Zhan came to ask whether they should hold the Hongmen Grand Competition.

Asking Luo Qimeng was actually the right move. She wanted to revive Luo Water Manor, and she was a local who knew this region well.

For Qin Zhan to ask Li Chen was simply asking for a scolding. Li Chen was an emperor; even his regular court sessions weren't this troublesome. Yet Qin Zhan had come to him over something as trivial as a sesame seed or a mung bean.

In other words, if Qin Zhan had been a court official, Li Chen would already have considered replacing him. He didn't like such useless subordinates.

Upon hearing Luo Qimeng's instructions, Qin Zhan immediately rose to make the arrangements.

There was no helping it. He had only just become the villa master and was afraid of making mistakes, so it was best to get instructions from above.

The Hongmen Grand Competition might not have mattered to Li Chen, but it was extremely important to the young prodigies of the surrounding region.

This region abounded in spiritual energy and Demon Beasts, with several cities nearby. Many cultivation clans and sects liked to establish themselves in the area.

According to incomplete statistics, this region alone had more than six hundred cultivation clans, over a hundred cultivation sects, and countless rogue cultivators.

Ten thousand young cultivators were participating in the Hongmen Grand Competition. The registration fees alone would earn its organizer, Hongmen Mountain Villa, a tidy profit.

That was also why Hongmen Mountain Villa offered such generous rewards, even allowing the champion into its Forbidden Land.
