Chapter 617: Heaven Mending Compet.i.tion
Ye Qiu was such a casual person. He didn’t accept it just like that.
Qi Huan could not say anything when he saw this. Shaking his head, he said, “Sigh… Child, you saw it too. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you’re not fated to be in Violet Cloud. Go back. There are thousands of Great Dao in the world. You will eventually find an immortal encounter that belongs to you. There’s no need to waste your time here.”
This was the path of cultivation. The b.u.mps, tribulations, and various encounters along the way. Once you missed it at a certain point, there was no way to salvage it in the future.
Ye Chen looked at Ye Qiu’s back and was unwilling to leave. He kept kneeling on the ground. He seemed to have made a difficult decision. “If Your Highness refuses to take me in as your disciple today, I will never get up.”
!!
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu immediately frowned and was a little unhappy. Is he using his life to threaten him?
“Kneel if you want. No one will care about you.” Ye Qiu replied coldly, feeling very unhappy. If there was still room for persuasion before, there was no turning back now.
He hated being threatened. Did he think this was a movie? Kneel for a long time and Ye Qiu would be moved by his pure heart and change his mind? What a joke. Ye Qiu had seen more movies than he had eaten salt. He was thinking too much if he wanted to use this trick to threaten him. Moreover, Ye Qiu wasn’t blind. He could tell what Ye Chen wanted.
Ye Qiu could tell what kind of person he was from his every move and word. There was no doubt that Ye Qiu was definitely an expert in this aspect.
Facing Ye Qiu’s cold response, Ye Chen was still stubborn and unwilling to leave. Under everyone’s gaze, he knelt on the stone bridge of the sea of clouds.
Everyone’s hearts ached when they saw this. Unfortunately, the Immortal Dao was heartless, and Ye Qiu was even more heartless. He never looked at him and let him kneel just like that. Seeing this scene, the elders were moved by his pure heart and could not bear it.
Wu Changfeng walked up and said, “Child, there are thousands of paths to immortality. There’s no need to be stubborn here. If you really want to learn, I can take you in as my disciple. Follow me back to the mountain.”
Wu Changfeng was moved by his pure heart. However, Ye Chen’s heart was incomparably firm. Only Ye Qiu would refuse. He refused Wu Changfeng and said, “I’ve already made up my mind. I only want to enter the Violet Cloud Training Hall. Thank you for your kindness, Elder Wu. I’m extremely grateful.”
Hearing this, Wu Changfeng blew at his beard and was slightly unhappy. Was this kid a donkey? He was so stubborn. He doesn’t even want to take you in anymore, yet you still shamelessly kneel here. There are clearly more opportunities in front of you, but you don’t cherish them.
Wu Changfeng, who had been rejected, was very unhappy.
“Alright, continue kneeling if you want. I don’t care.” Wu Changfeng blew his beard and left angrily.
Seeing this, everyone also understood Ye Chen’s determination. They knew that he was determined to take Ye Qiu as his master, so they silently left, not planning to interfere.
Qi Huan also saw something out of it, so his pity was instantly swept away. This kid didn’t purely want to acknowledge Ye Qiu as his master. He was here because of Ye Qiu’s att.i.tude towards his disciples. Perhaps only Ye Qiu’s style of doing things could make him turn things around quickly. He thought a lot, but unfortunately, Ye Qiu didn’t accept him.
Shaking his head, Qi Huan immediately understood why Ye Qiu wasn’t willing to accept Ye Chen. It turned out that he had seen through Ye Chen’s thoughts from the beginning. Everything he did was an act, so Ye Qiu refused to accept him. He couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. Ye Qiu’s eyes were too sharp. The elders present even wanted to stand up for Ye Chen at this time. They could not tell what this kid was thinking.
Ye Chen didn’t realize that his little trick had been seen through by Ye Qiu. He still refused to leave and knelt on the ground.
Soon, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and Violet Cloud Training Hall regained its usual calm. Only a few elders silently looked at Ye Chen’s back, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Qi Huan said, “Alright, let’s get back to the topic. Your Highness, apart from sending some gifts to Violet Cloud Training Hall on behalf of the First Elder, I also have a message to convey.
“In three years, my Heaven Mending Holy Land will hold the once-in-a-century inner sect compet.i.tion. This is the grandest event of my Heaven Mending Holy Land. Be it the outer sect, inner sect, core disciples, or personal disciples, they can partic.i.p.ate.
“This grand meeting is a compet.i.tion for promotion. Those who perform well in the grand meeting can obtain rich rewards. Other than the disciples obtaining rewards, their lineage will also obtain the corresponding rewards and honor.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately understood why Ku Muhai and the others would suddenly visit.
So it was because of this. They all wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation of the disciples of the various factions. As his sworn enemy, Violet Cloud Training Hall was naturally the faction he wanted to inquire about the most.
He hadn’t forgotten how Ye Qiu had embarra.s.sed him in the Zenith Heaven Hall. Therefore, he wanted to humiliate Ye Qiu in this grand meeting and embarra.s.s him. He specially came to Violet Cloud Training Hall to gather information and prepare in advance.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but frown. If Qi Huan hadn’t mentioned this, he wouldn’t have known the hidden profundities.
“Haha, interesting! The Grand Compet.i.tion of the Holy Land?” Ye Qiu immediately revealed a faint smile. He had also heard of the detailed rules of this compet.i.tion. This was a compet.i.tion of the entire Holy Land.
They would spar and obtain a huge reputation, honor, and rewards to motivate their disciples and stimulate their compet.i.tiveness.
This was also a chance for the outer sect and inner sect disciples to make a comeback. If they could perform well in the compet.i.tion, they could advance to the inner sect, or the core disciples, or even the outstanding ones could directly enter the forbidden land to cultivate.
Therefore, everyone placed great importance on this compet.i.tion. Although Yaya was already Ye Qiu’s personal disciple, she really needed this compet.i.tion to gain a foothold in the Heaven Mending Pavilion and make Violet Cloud Training Hall famous in the Heaven Mending Holy Land.
Only by displaying her astonishing talent in this compet.i.tion could she completely stand firm and stabilize Violet Cloud Training Hall’s status. If Yaya obtained good results, Violet Cloud Training Hall would receive better treatment next. At that time, even if the First Elder wanted to give Ye Qiu special treatment, no one would object.
Clearly, this compet.i.tion had already piqued Ye Qiu’s interest. It would be a pity not to show off on such a good stage.
“Hehe… Interesting. Three years later? Yes, there’s plenty of time. If my little disciple’s ability suppresses the crowd and amazes the world, my Violet Cloud Training Hall will completely have a foothold in the future. At that time, my other disciples will be able to successfully ascend to the upper realm.” After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu revealed a smile. He had thought a lot and thought a lot.
After a while, he said, “Alright, Elder Qi, I already know about this. Don’t worry, my Violet Cloud Training Hall will partic.i.p.ate.”
