Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As expected, the moment Ye Qiu’s token appeared, a group of people instantly surrounded him.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be wrong, Gu Sanqiu remained silent and quietly took a step back.
“F*ck, this old man… He was saying he’s going to protect me. Why did he sell me out in the blink of an eye?” Ye Qiu was dumbfounded. Didn’t you say you would protect me? Where was the trust between people?
“Hey, Elder Gu, aren’t you going too far?” Ye Qiu said gloomily.
Gu Sanqiu chuckled. He suddenly remembered that he had gone overboard.
!!
“Hehe, I’m sorry. I’m used to it.” With an awkward smile, Gu Sanqiu immediately walked back. His expression instantly turned serious. “Impudent! What do you want to do?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s hearts trembled, not understanding.
“Where did this kid come from? Not only did he obtain the Deity Token, but even Elder Gu obeys him. I’m afraid only Senior Sister Ming Yue can have such treatment, right?”
For a moment, everyone guessed, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. They couldn’t understand why Ye Qiu suddenly obtained the Deity Token. Where did he come from?
“Elder Gu!”
A white-clothed young man slowly walked up. Clearly, he wanted an answer. At the risk of being slapped to death by Gu Sanqiu at any time, he braced himself and walked up.
“I have something I don’t understand. I hope Elder can answer my doubts.”
Looking at the young man in front of him, Gu Sanqiu silently stroked his beard. His expression did not change as he said seriously, “What’s wrong?”
With great pressure, he slowly said, “Why does he have the Deity Token?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked over at the same time. Clearly, they also wanted to know this answer.
As for Gu Sanqiu, he turned around and looked at Ye Qiu. He sneered and said, “Haha, you can personally ask the First Elder about this question.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed again and he said coldly, “All of you, listen carefully. From today onwards, Ye Qiu is the Deity of Heaven Mending. He’s second only to the First Elder.
“Even I have to bow respectfully when I see him. Whoever dares to be disrespectful to him is looking down on my Heaven Mending Pavilion. Then don’t blame me for being rude. I don’t care if you submit or not. This is the First Elder’s decision. If any of you are unconvinced, you can personally question the First Elder.”
At this point, everyone broke out in cold sweat. Look for Meng Tianzheng? Stop joking. Who would be so bold as to personally question the First Elder? Not to mention questioning him, they didn’t even have the qualifications to see him.
What kind of existence was the First Elder? As a terrifying existence in the Dao Sacrificial Realm, just by standing in front of them, he had a complete deterrence. It was good enough if they weren’t scared to death.
Hearing Gu Sanqiu’s firm words, everyone immediately understood that this young man called Ye Qiu must have a powerful background.
“Where did this guy come from? He can actually be so valued by the First Elder. I’m afraid even Senior Sister Ming Yue didn’t receive such treatment back then.”
The people who were originally very unconvinced felt a lingering fear after hearing Gu Sanqiu’s words. Even though they were unconvinced by Ye Qiu’s strength in their heart, they were still afraid of that token.
“We will obey the First Elder’s decree! Greetings, Deity!”
Everyone shouted in unison.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu smiled and replied calmly, “Senior Brothers, there’s no need to be so polite.”
From beginning to end, he did not show any uneasiness, fear, or calmness. He did not panic at all in the face of so many gazes.
This temperament made Gu Sanqiu feel gratified. He was also very curious about Ye Qiu’s strength. Unfortunately, he had never personally seen Ye Qiu attack, nor could he pry into his limits.
After a few simple pleasantries, Ye Qiu said, “I think many of you must be very unconvinced about me sitting in this position. Haha, this is human nature. I can understand. All of you are top geniuses. In terms of talent and apt.i.tude, you are one in a million. I can understand why you’re unhappy that a young man who suddenly appeared whose background is unknown suddenly s.n.a.t.c.hed the position that you yearn for.
“However, this is the First Elder’s decision. No one can change it. If you have any doubts about my strength, don’t be anxious. You will know in the future.”
Ye Qiu smiled faintly. He remained very confident and resolved the conflict between them. He did not want to fight these people. After all, he had just entered the sect and did not understand the situation inside. Making enemies rashly might be disadvantageous to his future development.
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, everyone looked at him. They discussed it in private.
“To be able to talk so cheerfully in the face of such a formation, this person must be something.”
“Everyone, don’t act rashly. Why don’t we continue watching? There’s still a long time. One day, he will expose his background.”
After a discussion, the dissatisfaction of the crowd gradually stabilized. They wanted to observe for a while more. In the end, they still could not figure out why the First Elder would appoint this person as the Deity.
Such a baffling action meant that either this person was really strong and talented, or… he had a great karma with the First Elder. It was possible for both. Before they figured it out, they decided to keep their opinions and observe.
Looking at everyone’s reaction, Ye Qiu could roughly tell what they were thinking. He smiled faintly and did not say anything. He knew very well that with these people’s arrogant personalities, they would definitely not be so convinced.
However, he was not worried at all. So what if they really fought? He had his confidence. No one could deny it.
“Hmph, disperse! Don’t force me to slap you.”
Seeing that these people still did not intend to disperse, Gu Sanqiu was a little angry and directly cursed. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly dispersed. How could they dare to watch? It was also because of today’s farce that the news of Ye Qiu becoming a Deity began to spread.
When it reached the ears of his sworn enemy, Xiao Yan, he was completely dumbfounded.
“No! That’s impossible. What right does he have to become the supreme Deity of my Heaven Mending Pavilion?”
Xiao Yan seemed to have suffered a huge blow. His heart was injured, and his blood and qi attacked his heart. He almost vomited blood. He originally planned to teach Ye Qiu a lesson in the future to vent his anger.
In the end, Ye Qiu turned around and became a Deity, while he was only a core disciple.
The difference in status directly crushed him. How could he go against Ye Qiu again?
“d.a.m.n it! This kid must have used some concealment technique to confuse the First Elder. I must expose his lie and let everyone in the sect see his true appearance.”
Xiao Yan secretly hid the anger of revenge in his heart and completely went to the extreme.
Of course, Ye Qiu didn’t know about his reaction. After all, in his eyes, he was just an insignificant person and wasn’t worth his effort.
