Chapter 69 Mu Nujiao Joins the Team, the National Government Team Assembles [Please Read Further]

Li Xuan accepted the ring, then smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Chairman Han, and thank you everyone from the Ancient Capital."

The "Glassy Phoenix Feather" in the ring truly surprised him.

In the memory of the ancient king, this treasure has an extraordinary origin—it comes from the Vermilion Bird, one of the four ancient sacred totems.

Although there are not many records about it, Li Xuan was very interested in the Vermilion Bird's flames.

As a symbol of flames, the Vermilion Bird's power must be extraordinary.

When Han Ji saw Li Xuan accept the gift, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face.

This catastrophe in the ancient capital was able to save the vast majority of people and the inner city by sacrificing an outer city.

Li Xuan deserves much credit!

This is something that no one can deny, and no one can change.

"Li Xuan, thanks to you, the ancient capital was able to survive this calamity." Han Ji's tone was sincere, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"This gift may not be enough to express our gratitude, but it is a small token of our appreciation."

Li Xuan waved his hand and smiled calmly: "President Han, you flatter me. The safety of the ancient capital is my duty. Besides, I have also benefited greatly from it."

Han Ji nodded, and then brought up the arrangements for Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou.

Mo Fan has been granted the opportunity to go to Mount Hua to cultivate in seclusion. During this period, the ancient capital will provide Mo Fan with cultivation resources.

As for Zhang Xiaohou, based on his outstanding contributions, the ancient capital has applied for his promotion.

Based on this situation, it is highly likely that Zhang Xiaohou will have a smooth and unimpeded path to promotion as a military mage in the future.

Another issue was the Mu Ningxue incident that occurred during this period.

The arrest of Mu He, the Grand Steward of Hujin, also affected Mu Ningxue, who was far away in the capital.

In reality, the Mu family in the capital was wary of public opinion and wanted Mu Ningxue's family to change their surname from Mu, saying that people from the Black Church were not worthy of the surname Mu.

However, given Li Xuan's status, these matters were handled by others before he even had to make a move.

The fact that Mu Ningxue was Li Xuan's woman was common knowledge throughout the Forbidden City in the capital.

Naturally, they wouldn't allow the Mu family of the capital to bully Mu Ningxue's family so wantonly!

After all, Pang Lai was a teacher who was very protective of his students.

…………

A few days later, Li Xuan left the ancient capital and returned to Shanghai.

Having stayed in the ancient capital for quite some time, he should go back and let his two daughters know he's safe.

I'd also like to inquire about Mu Nujiao's situation.

Soon it will be the day the National Team assembles, and I wonder if she has been selected.

Li Xuan went straight back to his residence.

The moment I opened the door, I saw Mu Nujiao, Ding Yumin, and Ai Tutu sitting in the living room, seemingly discussing something.

"Li Xuan!" Ai Tutu was the first to spot him, immediately jumping up from the sofa and running over with a face full of surprise. "You're finally back! We were all so worried!"

Mu Nujiao and Ding Yumin also stood up, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes, but being reserved by nature, they simply said softly, "Welcome back."

Looking at the three of them, Li Xuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He chuckled and reached out to ruffle Ai Tutu's hair. "What, is that all you guys think of me?"

"Who misses you! We're just worried something might have happened to you in the ancient capital," Ai Tutu said, pouting and feigning displeasure.

"Li Xuan, we've all heard about what happened in the ancient capital. Are you alright?" Mu Nujiao nodded, her tone filled with concern.

Ding Yumin's beautiful eyes were also sizing up Li Xuan.

Specific details have not yet been released; the outside world only knows that a disaster occurred in the ancient capital.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Li Xuan waved his hand and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ai Tutu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "So, now that you're back, you're not leaving again?"

"It'll take a while," Li Xuan said ambiguously, then explained, "The National Government training is about to begin."

The three girls then realized, "Oh right, Li Xuan is the designated captain."

Li Xuan nodded and smiled, "Jiaojiao, did you pass the selection?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao blushed slightly and said softly, "I passed."

She then recounted the entire process of her selection.

Thanks to the resources Li Xuan had previously provided and her own efforts, she is now a high-level plant-type cultivator.

A high-level player would naturally crush a mid-level player. In the recommendation competition, she overpowered Li Kaifeng, another genius from Mingzhu Academy, with her absolute strength.

They became the representatives of Mingzhu Academy to enter the National Team.

"Not bad," Li Xuan praised.

"Great!" Ai Tutu clapped her hands excitedly. "Now you two can participate in the National Team's games together!"

"When the time comes, we'll definitely show those foreigners what Mingzhu University is all about!"

Li Xuan smiled without saying a word.

In fact, if Ding Yumin wanted to, she could also step onto the stage of the World University Competition.

She just didn't want to.

…………

Time flies.

On Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital city was still shrouded in a cool breeze.

At the heart of the Imperial Capital Academy stands a magnificent magical dueling arena.

The entire venue is shaped like a star, and the surrounding area is a spacious seating area that can accommodate 50,000 people, making it grand and impressive!

This dueling arena is rarely open; it's simply impossible to hold a magic duel here unless the player has reached a certain level of skill.

The arena seats were empty, but there were about ten young mages in the very center of the arena.

They stood in a row, including Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, Nan Jue, Mu Ningxue, and Zhao Manyan, as well as a few others.

Feng Li, the instructor from the National Academy, glanced at his watch and left the ten people standing aside, showing them no special treatment because of their backgrounds or talents.

"Mentor, Brother Xuan said they'll be here soon."

Mu Ningxue gently put down her phone, her clear and melodious voice breaking the silence in the group.

Feng Li smiled warmly, waved his hand gently, and said, "No rush, no rush, it's no problem for me to wait a little longer."

Upon hearing this, the others in the group were all secretly astonished, their hearts filled with surprise.

Feng Li, as a national-level instructor specially sent by the higher authorities, was renowned and highly respected in the magic community, yet he tolerated the captain's lateness.

Mu Tingying stood to the side, her eyebrows furrowed in anger, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.

She stared intently at Mu Ningxue, her jealousy burning like a raging fire.

"Damn Mu Ningxue!" she cursed inwardly.

"Originally, this Black Vatican incident would have been the perfect opportunity to kick her out of the Nationalist government's ranks, but then the Forbidden City Court suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

The thought of that traitor Mu He filled Mu Tingying with resentment.

Logically speaking, after something like what happened to Mu He, even if the Mu family of Bocheng had extraordinary abilities, they would still be held responsible, and no one would dare to protect them.

However, the palace did not play by the rules and guaranteed with its own reputation that Mu Ningxue's family was definitely not members of the Black Church.

How could this not make her burn with jealousy!

Mu Tingying looked at Feng Li, who remained calm in the group, and then glanced at the other four mentors.

They didn't object to Li Xuan's special treatment at all.

This left her with nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only grit her teeth and bury her resentment deep in her heart...

"Hmph, she's just relying on men!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp slap rang out.

"Snapped!"

Mu Yingting covered her burning cheeks in disbelief.

"What right do you have to talk about my people?"

A calm yet undeniable voice quietly echoed through the arena.
