Ning Shi also felt it. The gazes of the surrounding people changed from displeasure to contempt. It seemed that the martial world of traditional fighters was really very realistic.
He no longer looked around. Instead, he calmly closed his eyes and waited for the selection to begin.
When it was 10 o’clock sharp, the previous host, who was supposed to host the host selection, did not appear at the main seat. Even the Hermit Pavilion’s Pavilion Master and the leaders of the Three Great Sects did not appear.
The scene was a little restless, and everyone began to whisper.
The selection of the person in charge was the most important event in the Celestial Sect. It was held once every five years and had never been delayed.
After another ten minutes, some people could no longer sit still and were about to get up to ask about the situation when a group of people walked in from the main entrance of the hall.
The first person was a middle-aged woman. Her eyes were long and narrow, her eyebrows were like swords, and her gaze was extremely sharp.
The woman was tall and strong, and she walked like a tiger. She had a heroic temperament.
On the woman’s left was Shangguan Yun, the previous leader of the Celestial Sect and the leader of the Jinhua Gang.
On her right was an old man with a black face and black teeth. Ning Shi was very familiar with this person. It was his master, Old Li.
Ning Shi instantly guessed the woman’s identity. She should be Old Li’s daughter, the City Lord of New Star City, and the leader of the radioactive people, Li Sijia.
The Celestial Sect was indeed powerful enough to invite Li Sijia to be the spokesperson for the person-in-charge selection.
However, for some unknown reason, Li Sijia had dragged her father over.
There were a few people behind Li Sijia and the other two. They should be the higher-ups of the Celestial Sect, including the leaders of the three gangs and the Pavilion Master of the Hermit Pavilion.
Shangguan Yun invited Li Sijia to sit on the tiger-headed chair on the left, then walked to the dragon-headed chair and said to everyone, “Today is a good day for the selection of the 507th session of the Celestial Sect. According to the rules, as the previous session’s representative, I have to be the host of today’s selection.
“First of all, I want to thank everyone for supporting me over the past five years. Five years ago, I was just an ordinary disciple of the Jinhua Gang. Now,
I’ve grown into the leader of the gang. Everything I have belongs to the Jinhua Gang and the Celestial Sect…”
As usual, Shangguan Yun gave a speech of gratitude. After about fifteen minutes, she changed the topic.
“Today, we are honored to invite the City Lord of New Star City, Her Excellency Li Sijia, as the witness of this year’s selection of the person in charge. Everyone, please welcome her warmly!’
Shangguan Yun took the lead in clapping, and the audience below also followed suit. The scene was very enthusiastic.
Li Sijia stood up calmly and walked to the front of the steps. She said calmly, “It’s my honor to have the opportunity to participate in the selection meeting of the Celestial Sect. First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone.
“Today, because the representative of the Norse Republic Academy came to visit at the last minute, I had no choice but to receive him for a while, causing a delay in my journey. I came 10 minutes late, please forgive me for the Inconvenience.”
Li Sijia apologized, but her body was still straight. She had the aura of a superior, and her tone was very formal. There was no sincerity in her apology.
She continued, “The Celestial Sect has a deep relationship with New Star City. In the past 30 years, the Celestial Sect has held four traditional fighting competitions in New Star City, and three person-in-charge selections. New Star City has always supported them.
“You may not know this, but my father, Mr. Li Yidao, is a traditional fighter. Some of you may have heard of his name. Strictly speaking, I, Li Sijia, am also half a martial world person…”
Li Sijia’s words made Ning Shi frown. He had thought that Li Sijia was here to be a host and be a witness, but from her words, Ning Shi heard something unusual.
Li Sijia seemed to have taken a fancy to the Celestial Sect as well. She seemed to have the idea of bringing the Celestial Sect under the rule of New Star City.
Otherwise, with her status, there was no need for her to bring Old Li here and befriend a bunch of traditional fighters..
