Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian had been waiting upstairs for quite some time, but they still hadn’t received any news of Ye Qingfeng’s arrival. Only then did they decide to come down and see for themselves.
As soon as they entered the grand hall, they saw Xu Qiuyuan and Hong Qing engaged in a heated argument.
At that moment, Ye Qingfeng saw three men with extraordinary demeanor approaching. Observing the reactions of the people from the Dark Soul Hall, he immediately understood. These three must be the renowned Three Hall Masters of the Dark Soul Hall.
In the capital of the Qingyun Empire, these three were also extremely formidable warriors at the Tian Gang realm!
This matter… seemed to have escalated quite a bit.
Ye Qingfeng immediately tugged at Xu Qiuyuan’s sleeve and whispered, “Qiuyuan, it’s okay. I haven’t done these things before and have no experience. It doesn’t matter if I don’t become the chief steward. Please don’t argue with your father because of this…”
Xu Qiuyuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle. I won’t let you be wronged.”
Xu Qiuyuan stepped forward immediately, looked at his father, and greeted him with a respectful gesture, “Father…”
However, before Xu Qiuyuan could say anything, Hong Qing stepped forward and said, “Greetings to the Three Hall Masters.”
“The situation is like this: the current chief steward of the Spirit Material Storehouse is my son, Hong An. He has been doing a great job. As an elder of the Dark Soul Hall, I won’t favor him just because he is my son. The Three Hall Masters are welcome to investigate.”
“Hmm…” Wang Pengyuan nodded and said, “Hong An is indeed doing a good job and is very responsible…”
Hong Qing immediately said with pride, “But now, Young Master Qiuyuan wants to appoint Ye Qingfeng as the chief steward of the Spirit Material Storehouse. Isn’t that absurd?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian were taken aback. They looked at Xu Qiuyuan and then at Ye Qingfeng.
“Absurd!”
Xu Wenyuan’s sudden outburst filled the grand hall with a terrifying aura.
Seeing Xu Wenyuan’s anger, Xu Qiuyuan’s expression changed slightly.
Did even Father disagree?
Hong Qing nodded and said, “Young Master Qiuyuan is still young and indeed a bit willful!”
Sensing the situation was turning against him, Ye Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a respectful gesture, “Hall Master, please calm down. This matter is actually because of me…”
Before Ye Qingfeng could finish his sentence, Xu Wenyuan interrupted him with a displeased tone, “A mere chief steward of the Spirit Material Storehouse—how could that reflect Mr. Ye Qingfeng’s true capabilities?”
As Xu Wenyuan’s words fell, there was a moment of stunned silence.
Elder Hong Qing was dumbfounded!
Xu Qiuyuan was also taken aback.
Ye Qingfeng stood there, bewildered.
Only Old He Bo, with a knowing smile, stood to the side, watching the drama unfold.
Wang Pengyuan also turned to Xu Qiuyuan and said reproachfully, “Qiuyuan, my boy, I must have a word with you!”
“Ye Wushuang taught you the art of array techniques, and you owe him a great debt of gratitude. Ye Qingfeng is Ye Wushuang’s uncle and is also highly capable. Yet you want to assign him the position of chief steward of the Spirit Material Storehouse?”
“Enough, enough!” Lei Chengtian interjected. “We will handle Mr. Ye’s position. You stay out of it.”
At this point, Hong Qing could no longer contain himself.
“Three Hall Masters!”
Hong Qing stepped forward and greeted with a respectful gesture, “Ye Qingfeng is merely at the third level of the Condensation Meridian realm…”
“Elder Hong Qing!”
Wang Pengyuan immediately retorted, “I must criticize you as well. How can you judge a person solely by their cultivation level? Do you know Mr. Ye Qingfeng’s true capabilities?”
Capabilities?
No matter how capable he might be, he was still only at the third level of the Condensation Meridian realm!
Hong Qing was thoroughly confused. Judging by the demeanor of the Three Hall Masters, it seemed they were planning to assign Ye Qingfeng an even higher position!
“Alright, alright, we will handle this matter,” Wang Pengyuan said. “Hong Qing, go and gather the thirty-six elders and one hundred and twelve hall leaders who are in the capital. Return to the main hall. I have an important announcement to make.”
An important announcement?
Hong Qing immediately asked, “Hall Master Wang, may I ask what this important matter is?”
“Moreover, some of the elders and hall leaders are not in the capital. It will be difficult to summon them in a short time…”
Wang Pengyuan waved his hand and said, “Just go and do it quickly!”
Hong Qing, feeling extremely anxious, bowed and left.
The Three Hall Masters—Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian—immediately turned to Ye Qingfeng with beaming smiles.
At that moment, Ye Qingfeng felt as if he were a little lamb facing three big wolves.
Had it not been for Old He Bo’s presence, he would have run away immediately!
What on earth was going on?
