Jun Xiaoyao came to his senses. Believing that it wasn’t appropriate to do this in public, he let go of Jiang Luoli’s waist.
Jiang Luoli’s tiny face was blushing so hard that it seemed like blood was going to drip out. She couldn’t find a place to hide.
“Ugh, I got spanked in front of people…” Jiang Luoli threw herself into Jiang Shengyi’s arms and buried her head inside her embrace like a baby ostrich.
She was the Jiang Family’s dearly beloved daughter, an untouched maiden. It was only natural for her to feel ashamed to be treated like this.
Jiang Shengyi rubbed Jiang Luoli’s little head and couldn’t help but glared at Jun Xiaoyao with an intense gaze.
Although her nephew looked as elegant and suave as the poet Li Bai, he seemed to be a little naughty as well.
However, being glared at by Jiang Shengyi made Jun Xiaoyao notice his nominal aunt.
Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes dimmed as he muttered to himself, “Hm? That fluctuation, does she have an Innate Energy Vessel?”
Jiang Rou had already told Jun Xiaoyao before.
Jiang Luoli was the pearl of the Jiang family. She wielded the rare Dimensional Spirit Vessel, which was enough to be ranked in the top 100 out of 3,000 types of body types.
Jiang Shengyi, on the other hand, was the Jiang Family’s divine lady whose body was classified as the even rarer version of the Innate Energy Vessel.
Such a body type was stronger than most Sacred Body of the Ancients.
“Sacred Body of the Ancients, Innate Energy Vessel…”
“It is rumored that a long time ago, there was a great emperor who touched the realm of immortality. He had a supreme body type that was known as the Innate Divine Energy Vessel…”
Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes fluctuated, discontinuing his thought process.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian took a step forward, cleared his throat, and said, “Thank you, gentlemen, for attending my grandchild’s banquet.”
“Today, in this very banquet, the Jun Family has one more announcement.”
As he spoke, Jun Zhantian’s face became solemn in a way that made it seem extremely formal.
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing Jun Zhantian’s solemn expression, everyone revealed their surprise on their faces.
“I presume that all of you are aware that the Jun Family has 10 sequences, with each of them being geniuses. However, above the 10 sequences is another place…”
Jun Zhantian’s words rendered the expressions of everyone in the hall frozen before moving as if they remembered something.
As if suddenly remembering something, the two sequences, Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang stood up abruptly with shock and disbelief on their expressions.
Jun Wanjie’s expression, on the other hand, became even more solemn.
“Jun Xiaoyao, the divine child of the Jun Family, will become Sequence Zero of the Jun Family. His status will be above that of all 10 sequences!”
As soon as everyone heard his words, the hall plunged into silence.
Everyone looked so shocked at the news!
Deep down, everyone was well aware of what Sequence Zero meant.
The Sequence Zero of the Jun Family’s previous generation was none other than Jun Xiaoyao’s father: the White-clad Divine King, Jun Wuhui!
Jun Zhantian’s announcement was like a huge rock falling into the ocean that set off a huge wave.
It was possible that when this news spread later today, it would trigger an uproar across the entire Huangtian Mystic Realm!
After all, the Sequence Zero of the Jun family was of extraordinary significance.
As long as nothing went wrong, Jun Xiaoyao would grow up to become the core figure of the Jun family and a backbone-like existence.
In terms of status, even Sequence One was slightly lower than Sequence Zero.
“They have already decided to make Xiaoyao the Sequence Zero?” Jun Zhanjian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Before this, he still believed that Jun Xiaoyao would most probably join the Sequence Contest once he turned ten.
In the end, he didn’t have to join the contest at all; it was already decided a long time ago that he would be the Sequence Zero.
Although Jun Zhanjian was shocked about this, he was not jealous.
After all, he had personally experienced what was Jun Xiaoyao capable of. He was indeed qualified to become the Sequence Zero.
“Never have I thought that the divine child would already be the Sequence Zero.” Jun Xuehuang’s was beating rapidly in surprise.
Jun Wanjie’s fist was tightly clenched. There seemed to be a vast intertwining of thunder and light in his eyes, which signified the restlessness within him.
“He doesn’t deserve it…” Jun Wanjie said coldly to himself.
Why could Jun Xiaoyao easily be given something that would otherwise require him to experience countless hardships?
He had the title of the Divine Child, so it made some degree of sense. Now, even the most supreme title of Sequence Zero was directly given to Jun Xiaoyao.
A genius like Jun Wanjie had gone through many trials to ultimately stand out among the many geniuses of the Jun Family to even compete for a place among the sequences.
Jun Wanjie was unconvinced, resentful, and despondent!
Looking around at the various countenances that were awed amid shock, Jun Zhantian nodded in satisfaction.
This was what he wanted to happen.
After the banquet to celebrate Jun Xiaoyao turning ten years old, it was time for him to join the world.
Before he would join the world, the Jun Family had to make people excited for Jun Xiaoyao’s arrival.
Jun Xiaoyao’s identity as a Sequence Zero was undoubtedly the fastest way to make him famous.
“Are they going to make him inherit his father’s position?” The looks in the eyes of people looking at Jun Xiaoyao began to change.
Jun Xiaoyao’s father, Jun Wuhui, was the Sequence Zero of the previous generation. Now, Jun Xiaoyao himself was going to become the Sequence Zero.
Jun Xiaoyao’s title as the Divine Child alone had already given him much prestige.
Now, add to that his identity as Sequence Zero.
With Jun Xiaoyao’s two identities superimposed, very few people would dare to provoke him.
“Xiaoyao is also the Sequence Zero?”
Jiang Luoli stuck her tiny face out of Jiang Shengyi’s arms and blinked her eyes.
One of the figures she adored the most was Jun Xiaoyao’s father, the White-clad Divine King, Jun Wuhui.
Now that Jun Xiaoyao had inherited his father’s title, it made him seem even more charming. It felt as if he would be the next White-clad Divine King.
“But Xiaoyao spanked me and said I was short. He’s awful…” Jiang Loli muttered to herself.
Although she was a little angry at Jun Xiaoyao, she couldn’t deny that Jun Xiaoyao was extraordinarily handsome.
Whether in terms of strength, status, background, or appearance, he was almost unparalleled in this world.
Jiang Luoli certainly couldn’t hold herself back from admiring him.
Jiang Rou, on the other hand, revealed a trace of reminiscence and emotion in her eyes as she muttered to herself, “Wuhui, are you seeing this? Our child has also become Sequence Zero…”
While everyone was still in shock, a cold and chilling voice sounded.
“Elder, I have a question.”
Upon hearing this voice, both Jun Zongjian and Jun Xuehuang’s faces altered.
Jun Zhantian also looked over, then clandestinely knitted his eyebrows.
The one spoke was no other than Sequence Five, Jun Wanjie.
Jun Xiaoyao also looked over with a stony expression.
No doubt he wanted the title of Sequence Zero.
Even if Jun Wanjie shamelessly had an opinion about it, Jun Xiaoyao would not back off.
“What is your question?” Jun Zhantian said faintly.
“May I ask if had Jun Xiaoyao partake in the Sequence Contest?” Wan Sijun asked in a low guttural voice.
“No,” Jun Zhantian answered.
“May I ask how Jun Xiaoyao made any significant contributions to the family?” Jun Wanjie pressed on.
“No,” Jun Zhantian’s visage became sullen.
Jun Xiaoyao had not even been out into the world yet. How could he have possibly earned merits for the Jun Family?
“May I ask if Jun Xiaoyao had gone through the trail to earn his place among the sequences?” Jun Wanjie asked three consecutive questions.
“No!” Jun Zhantian’s voice seemed a little chilling.
If people from other forces questioned Jun Zhantian like this, he would have slapped them away already.
However, the person who spoke was the Jun Family’s Sequence Five. If he were to act so hostile towards him, it would harm the Jun Family’s reputation.
Jun Wanjie abruptly stood up and sternly asked, “If that’s the case, then what has Jun Xiaoyao done for him to become the Sequence Zero so easily?!”
Violent thunder and lightning were flashing unceasingly within his eyes!
The surrounding atmosphere plunged into deathly stillness!
For a moment, even Jun Zhantian was left speechless.
It was within such a dead silence that Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward with his hands held behind his back as if he were a deity in white robes descending upon them.
“Since you have so many questions, allow me to answer each of them. My title as Sequence Zero is bestowed to me by the Eighteenth Ancestor. The reason he did this is that he has faith in me…”
