With the clan competition over, Little Beast and Qianji had both returned to the clan. Little Beast had naturally heard the relevant rumors and learned that on Prison Scale Island, fewer than one in ten had survived.
He felt death had come so close. He had nearly lost his parents, yet Qianji showed not the slightest concern, seeming almost heartless. He had always possessed a blind faith in Li Yan.
He had followed Li Yan for too long and witnessed too many brushes with death. He had long grown accustomed to seeing Li Yan escape death time and again, so this matter instead filled him with deep regret.
He felt he had to continue cultivating diligently. Otherwise, if he had not been at the Nascent Soul Realm this time, would he have been able to stay here and comprehend others' battles? He would certainly have followed his master to that island.
As long as he reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would at least have been able to fight alongside his master again this time and let everyone know how formidable Master Mosquito was after his revival!
Not long after Little Beast returned, Gong Chenying summoned Gong Shanhe once more. Then, at the estate, they held a simple ceremony. Its main purpose was for Little Beast to formally kneel and pay respects to Li Yan, who would bestow a name upon a member of the Li bloodline.
Including Zhao Min and Qianji, there were only six people. Smiling, Li Yan accepted the teacup Little Beast raised in both hands, drained it in one gulp, and then bestowed upon him the name—Li Ze!
Li Yan hoped he would enjoy an boundless immortal path in the future. Perhaps only Gong Chenying and Zhao Min could deeply understand the emotions behind the name.
