Ye Qiu was very surprised.
He never expected that Cao Yuan would actually pass on the position of Longmen to him.
This made Ye Qiu’s heart sink.
Cao Yuan’s move was no different from to arranging his funeral.
This shows that for tonight’s decisive battle, Cao Yuan didn’t have much confidence.
“Nine Thousand Years Old, I have neither the courage to expand the territory nor the courage to fight in the world. I am inexperienced and Please choose someone else.” Ye Qiu declined.
He was originally a doctor. If it weren’t for the Dragon King, he wouldn’t have joined Longmen and become the boss of Jiangzhou.
Ye Qiu’s dream was to become a great doctor, not to become an underground overlord.
”This is my decision.” Cao Yuan said： “You are the only candidate to take over as the master of Longmen.”
”Nine Thousand Years Old, this is absolutely inappropriate.” Ye Qiu said anxiously： “I am young and have no prestige. Even if I become the master of Longmen, it will be difficult to convince the public.”
”It doesn’t matter. I have already ordered Zhuque. Zhuque will assist you. With her here, the whole of Longmen will listen to you.”
“Hearing what you said, I think Zhuque is a very good candidate.”
“As I said before, Zhuque is a girl and she is not suitable to be the commander of Longmen.”
“That’s wrong.” Ye Qiu retorted. “Lord Nine Thousand Years, you must never look down on women. In ancient times, there was Mulan who joined the army instead of her father, and later there was Wu Zetian, a female emperor. Women can do great things.”
“You also said that Zhuque is extremely intelligent and resourceful, which shows that she is a woman who is not inferior to men.”
“Moreover, she is one of the four dragon envoys of Longmen and has high prestige. She is more suitable than me to succeed as the owner of Longmen.”
Alas！
Cao Yuan let out a long sigh and said, “Indeed, Zhuque is the best candidate to succeed as the boss.”
“However, I will not let her succeed Longmen.”
I will never let her become the master of Longmen.
“Why is that？” Ye Qiu didn’t understand very well.
Cao Yuan also thought that Zhuque was the best candidate, but why didn’t he let Zhuque succeed as the boss and instead give the boss position to him?
“Because, she is my younger sister.”
Cao Yuan’s eyebrows showed tenderness and he said, “The owner undertakes too much responsibility. I don’t want her to bear too much.”
“As long as I am here, I can protect her.”
“If I am no longer here, then no one can protect her. Letting a girl like her become the Longmen is too cruel for her.
“I just hope she can find the person she likes, get married and have children, have a happy family, and live a stable life.”
“Ye Qiu, do you understand？”
“I understand.” Ye Qiu said: “However, I still feel that I am not suitable to take over the position of the door owner.” There are many disciples in the Dragon Gate, and there are many excellent people. You, Lord Nine Thousand Years, can look for more suitable people.”
“Although there are many very excellent people in the Dragon Gate, in my eyes, none of them can compare with you.”
Cao Yuan said： “Ye Qiu, I have investigated you.”
“Before this year, no, before three months ago, your life was very ordinary. It can be said that there was no difference from an ordinary person.”
“But since your girlfriend Zhang Lili betrayed you, you have quickly embarked on the road of counterattack.”
“Not only did you solve your own troubles and stay in the hospital, but you also used your super medical skills to become the youngest director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Jiangzhou Hospital.”
“You helped the Dragon King cure the Yin-Yang Snake Gu, helped him destroy the Jiangzhou branch of the Witch God Sect, and let me see your martial arts talent.”
“You said you don’t have the courage to fight in the world. This is just your excuse, right？”
“In the Crystal Palace Hotel, you dared to challenge Xiao Qingdi and even stepped on his face in public. It can be seen that you not only have courage, but also have extraordinary courage.”
“After all, the younger brother of the Marquis of Champions is not someone that anyone dares to touch.”
“And you not only touched him, but also made Xiao Qingdi slink back to the capital.”
Ye Qiu said embarrassedly： “At that time, I had no choice. Who made Xiao Qingdi go too far.”
”Xiao Qingdi going too far is only one aspect. The reason you took action was for Lin Jingzhi. It can be seen that you are a person worthy of trust.”
”Also, you helped the Dragon King solve the Jiangzhou branch of the Witch God Sect, which also fully shows that you are affectionate and righteous.”
”Therefore, I am very relieved to hand over the Dragon Gate to you.”
Cao Yuan took out a token made of pure gold from his pocket.
The token is two inches wide and three inches high, with nine lifelike five-clawed golden dragons embossed on it.
This is the order of the Dragon Gate. With this token, you can command the Dragon Gate. Now, I give it to you.”
Cao Yuan handed the master’s order to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn’t take it and said： “Lord Jiuqian, thank you for your high regard for me, but I really can’t take over as the master of the Dragon Gate.”
“Why?” Cao Yuan was very puzzled.
If it were someone else, I’m afraid they would dream of getting this token, but Ye Qiu actually declined again and again.
”Lord Jiuqian, to tell you the truth, my dream is not in the Jianghu.”
Ye Qiu said： “My dream is to become a great doctor. I want to devote my life to human medicine.”
”If there is another dream, it is to have a happy family with Sister Lin.”
”That’s all.”
Cao Yuan continued to persuade Ye Qiu： “Becoming a doctor and taking over as the master of Longmen are not in conflict. Just like some people are thinkers and also philosophers. Are these two in conflict？”
”This is different.” Ye Qiu said： “I have decided to dedicate my life’s energy to human medicine and have no intention of doing other things anymore. So…”
”Ye Qiu！”
Cao Yuan suddenly gave a sharp shout, looking straight into Ye Qiu’s eyes and said： “Don’t you want to avenge your father？”
Youdaoplaceholder0, Ye Qiu’s face was full of astonishment.
Could it be that the Nine Thousand Years Old already knows…
“That’s right, I have found out that your father is the eldest son of the Ye family, the number one master in the world twenty years ago, the world-famous killer – Ye Wushuang!
Boom！
Ye Qiu’s pupils shrank sharply, and his mind was buzzing.
There was only one thought in his heart, how did the Nine Thousand Years Old find out？
But at this moment, only to hear Cao Yuan sigh faintly： “Sure enough, I was not wrong. Ye Wushuang is your father, and you have long known who your father is.”
Ye Qiu then understood that Cao Yuan was actually not sure that Ye Wushuang was his father. The question just now was to bluff him.
Unfortunately, he was too young and didn’t hide his expression well.
”Don’t worry, I won’t tell others about this. This is my promise to you.”
Cao Yuan then said, “More than twenty years ago, because of you, your father was besieged and killed by countless masters. Up to now, there is no sign of his life or death. As a son, don’t you want to take revenge for him？”
”I don’t know who the enemy is yet. ” Ye Qiu said.”
Cao Yuan said, “Perhaps, I have already found out who wanted to kill your father back then.”
”Who is it？ ” Ye Qiu asked hurriedly.”
Cao Yuan said in a deep voice three words: “The Forbidden City!”
