Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 173 The Main Players Are in Place
Having received advance notice, Xue Zhengying spoke up, "What, Brother Huang, you don't look down on my little sister, do you? My little sister is a top student at the Necromancer's Gym."

"No..." Vice President Huang looked bewildered. "Lily, haven't you always looked down on legitimate clubs?"

“Dad, you don’t understand. Ghost King Club is different from other clubs,” Huang Lili said with a firm and burning gaze. “It has what I want.”

"What do you want?" Vice President Huang was increasingly confused.

How could he not know what his own daughter wanted? It's just those useless, fancy picture scrolls, isn't it?

The problem is, isn't the Ghost King Club a necromancy-based organization?
Can the Necromancer class even have pretty-boy characters who make a living off their looks?

"Senior, you can rest assured that I will treat Lily like my own sister," Xue Lingling said righteously. "Haven't you always wanted to see Lily in the Gold Rank League? Believe me, that day will come soon."

"But..." Vice President Huang still didn't understand the situation.

For him, his daughter's decision to finally join a proper club and become a proper player was absolutely fantastic.

After all, his daughter is currently only working sporadically at the association club, and continuing to stay there would only cause him more trouble.

But the question is, what gives Ghost King Club the right to do this?
How did Wu Xian manage to accomplish something that his father, despite years of earnest advice, couldn't achieve?
It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes the imposing golden scroll spirit that Wu Xian released that he finally understood.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the Pleiades Star Lord.

The daughter is still the same daughter, she hasn't changed at all, except that she has really met the handsome and strong Hui Juan.

But what I felt most was the shock I felt towards Wu Xian, this young scroll painter.

To be able to conceive such an excellent picture at such a young age, her future is limitless!
It's definitely not a bad thing for my daughter to be able to follow such a talented scroll painter.

Even before the sumptuous dinner was finished, Huang Lili had already packed her bags.

Early the next morning, Vice President Huang personally accompanied everyone to the alliance headquarters to complete the transfer procedures for his daughter.

Before parting, the old father was inevitably saddened, but his little darling left in a great hurry.

"Lily, come back and visit more often when you have time..."

Vice President Huang wiped away his tears, reluctant to part, and still feels like he's in a dream.

Originally, I just wanted to catch up with my old friend Xue Zhengying, build a good relationship, and also let my precious daughter find out about Wu Xian's mysterious contribution.

How did it turn out that it was his own daughter who was kidnapped?

But then I thought, if my daughter went with him, she could better help him find out what was going on.

……

On the high-speed train to Yaoyang City, Huang Lili was filled with beautiful aspirations for the future.

While chatting and laughing with everyone along the way, I unexpectedly received calls from several of my girlfriends.

"Hey Lily, where are you? You didn't actually hook up with that rich kid from yesterday, did you?"

"I'm sorry, sisters, I'm going to Yaoyang City to be a contestant, so I won't be able to accompany you anymore." Huang Lili said regretfully, but her expression couldn't hide her joy.

"Huh? Did I hear that right?"

"Soon you will see me in the league, and then you will understand."

Huang Lili hung up the phone with a smile, secretly chuckling to herself.

I'll enjoy this "blessing" all by myself for now.

"Speaking of which, are your girlfriends the same as you?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"It's alright, but their reaction to the handsome scroll wasn't as obvious as mine," Huang Lili laughed. "If the club needs more players later, we can totally recruit them. In terms of family background and spirit master ability, my girlfriends are all quite outstanding."

However, we've been struggling to find a scroll painting that truly satisfies us.

Wu Xian smiled knowingly, but when he turned his gaze, he was immediately startled.

Xue Zhengying was seen examining five golden scrolls, deep in thought. Upon inquiry, it was learned that shortly after he and Huang Lili left yesterday, several scroll painters who had been fortunate enough to witness Xue Zhengying's extraordinary abilities in the past had come after smelling the scent of his scrolls.

These five gold scrolls were their masterpieces, and they eagerly presented them to Xue Zhengying for his appraisal.

Xue Lingling was also filled with emotion about this.

In Xue Zhengying's words, "My younger sister was too young back then to have any idea of ​​how impressive your second brother was in the league."

"Tsk~ After experiencing it all, it seems that only Brother Huang's [Sea-Shaking Beast] is worth mentioning," Xue Zhengying said with great interest. "It seems that Brother Huang is a late bloomer. No wonder he can become the vice president."

"You played against my dad back then?" Huang Lili had already heard about Xue Zhengying's extraordinary experiences and was still very curious about this former star player. "My dad said that he was invincible in the league back then!"

Xue Zhengying chuckled, “Brother Huang naturally had some advantages when he participated in the competition as a scroll painter, but he just couldn’t gain an advantage against me.”

“Indeed, it’s unfair for a dignified scroll painter to compete with a spirit tamer in a league,” Huang Lili wholeheartedly agreed.

"That's not entirely true," Xue Zhengying said with a smile. "For lower-level scroll painters who want to make a name for themselves, participating in the league is indeed a good option. As long as they abide by all the restrictions, it's not considered bullying."

……

Back in Yaoyang City.

Xue Lingling immediately enrolled Xue Zhengying and Huang Lili in the Ghost King Club.

Huang Lili, who had officially moved into the Ghost King Club dormitory, didn't care about anything except her handsome scroll painting.

Wu Xian had barely caught his breath when Huang Lili chased after him, demanding that he create a Pleiades Star Lord instance.

“Speaking of which, there’s an even cooler one in the same series. Do you want Pleiades Star Lord or the cooler one?” Wu Xian suggested with a light laugh. He had bought so many materials in this round that he had already collected the silver axis materials for many Star Lords.

"Really? Is there someone more handsome than Pleiades Star Lord?" Huang Lili was skeptical.

Wu Xian shrugged and smiled, "The kind that will satisfy you."

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Lili decided to take the risk, since she would definitely buy another copy of Pleiades Star Lord's anyway.

Handsome guys are always a welcome sight.

From a young age, she had a dream: to assemble a group of handsome men and live a life of pleasure and indulgence.

“Alright, you can go wait at the outer gate now, and take a look around our club while you’re at it.” Wu Xian nodded and smiled. “Oh right, our club’s training pods are pretty good, you can try them out.”

"No passion if I can't get a handsome guy!"

"..." Wu Xian was speechless. "Then please wait outside. It wouldn't be good if you disturbed the birth of the handsome guy."

"Oh yes, yes."

Huang Lili nodded in deep agreement and obediently went outside to wait.

Xue Lingling happened to be passing by.

"Would you like your older sister to show you around our club?" Xue Lingling said warmly and familiarly. "Speaking of which, our club is about to hold a Silver Rank promotion tournament, and you will be one of our main players then."

"No problem~ No problem, as long as the scroll of my idol is ready, I will definitely do my best," Huang Lili said solemnly. "Trust me, I care more about my idol's chances of winning than you do."

Xue Lingling was also very curious about this "anime/manga" sister, "Speaking of which, I also have a few handsome men from the underworld. Would you like to take a look?"

A moment later, looking at Xue Lingling's few ghost king paintings that were somewhat human-like, Huang Lili smiled awkwardly but politely, and then immediately made a hasty exit to urinate.

Watching Huang Lili's disgusted departing figure, Xue Lingling was completely baffled.

"Aren't they pretty cool?" Xue Lingling asked, stopping a club member in confusion. "Xiao Yang, aren't these ghost kings cool?"

"Ahem, that depends on what standard you're using to judge it."
