"Sixth!? Senior Brother Li... defeated Fairy Wuying Ning Qingshu and rose to sixth place!?"
Beside Qi Shuang, some Qi Family members who had likewise taken out their Identity Tokens at the news cried out in shock.
"Sixth?"
Even Qi Xi trembled slightly, as though an electric current had passed through her.
Tenth on the Entering-the-Dao Candidates Ranking...
He could still have been pushed off at any moment.
Although a difference of one or two places might not seem like much, being in the top ten and being outside it meant entirely different things.
But now...
Li Xian had charged straight into sixth place!
His place in the top ten was secure at last!
Who would still dare harbor the slightest doubt about his strength or his prospects?
"How long has it been? He's already risen to sixth!"
"From first in the outer sect to breaking through to Xiantian and entering the top ten of the Entering-the-Dao Candidates Ranking, then charging up to sixth! Senior Brother Li's progress truly defies belief!"
"I don't think I've ever heard of Senior Brother Li attending any gatherings. Perhaps he really has devoted all his time to cultivation, which is how he achieved what he has today!"
Voices rose from the small gathering, one after another.
This left Qi Shuang looking rather uncomfortable. She had once made the Entering-the-Dao Candidates Ranking, only to grow complacent, lose herself in others' admiration and flattery, and fall off it.
Just then, Qi Huo's Identity Token suddenly vibrated faintly.
She glanced at it and immediately rose. "Senior Brother Li has some questions for me. Everyone, I'll take my leave."
"Senior Brother Li? Which Senior Brother Li? Could it be..."
At these words, everyone was startled.
"Who else could it be? Senior Brother Li Xian, of course!"
A faint smile
