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 take a look.
As soon as they entered the grand hall, they saw Xu Qiuyuan and Hong Qing locked in a heated argument.
At that moment, Ye Qingfeng saw three men with extraordinary bearing approaching. Observing the reactions of the people in the Dark Soul Hall, he instantly understood. These three must be the renowned **Three Hall Masters** of the Dark Soul Hall. In the capital of the Qingyun Empire, they were all extremely formidable **Tian Gang**-level powerhouses!
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’ve never done this 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 then stepped forward and addressed his father with a respectful gesture, “Father…”
However, before he could say anything, Hong Qing immediately stepped out and greeted, “Greetings to the Three Hall Masters.”
“The situation is as follows,” he continued. “The current chief steward of the spiritual material storehouse is my son, Hong An. He has been doing an excellent job. As an elder of the Dark Soul Hall, I would not favor him simply 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. He is very responsible…”
Hong Qing then said arrogantly, “But now, Young Master Qiuyuan wants to appoint this Ye Qingfeng as the chief steward of the spiritual 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 exclaimed, and a terrifying aura immediately filled the grand hall.
Seeing Xu Wenyuan’s anger, Xu Qiuyuan’s expression changed slightly. Could it be that his father also disapproved?
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 bowed, saying, “Hall Master, please calm down. This matter is actually my…”
Before Ye Qingfeng could finish his sentence, Xu Wenyuan interrupted with displeasure, “A mere steward of the spiritual material storehouse—how could that reflect Mr. Ye Qingfeng’s true capabilities?”
As Xu Wenyuan’s words fell, Hong Qing, the elder, was stunned. Xu Qiuyuan was also taken aback, and Ye Qingfeng stood there, bewildered.
Only Old He Bo, with a knowing smile, stood to one side, observing the commotion.
Wang Pengyuan also turned to Xu Qiuyuan and said reproachfully, “Qiuyuan, my boy, I must say a few words to you! Ye Wushuang taught you the art of arrays, and he has been extremely kind to you. Ye Qingfeng is Ye Wushuang’s uncle and is also very capable. Yet you want to assign him the position of chief steward of the spiritual material storehouse?”
“Enough, enough!” Lei Chengtian interjected. “We will arrange Mr. Ye’s position. You, young man, should stay out of it.”
At this point, Hong Qing could no longer contain himself.
“The Three Hall Masters!” he stepped forward and bowed. “Ye Qingfeng is merely at the third level of the **Ningmai** stage…”
“Hong Qing!” Wang Pengyuan immediately reprimanded him. “I must criticize you for this. How can you judge a person solely by their cultivation level? Do you know Mr. Ye Qingfeng’s true abilities?”
Abilities? No matter how capable he might be, he was still only at the third level of the Ningmai stage!
Hong Qing was thoroughly confused. Judging by the attitude of the Three Hall Masters, it seemed they were planning to assign Ye Qingfeng an even higher position!
“Alright, alright, let us handle this matter,” Wang Pengyuan said. “Hong Qing, go and summon 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, may I inquire what this important matter is? Moreover, some of the elders and hall leaders are not in the capital at the moment. It would be difficult to summon them back in a short time…”
Wang Pengyuan waved his hand and said, “Just go and do it quickly!”
With a heavy heart, Hong Qing bowed and left.
The Three Hall Masters—Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian—immediately turned to Ye Qingfeng, their faces beaming with smiles.
At that moment, Ye Qingfeng felt as if he were a helpless little lamb facing three fierce wolves. If it weren’t for Old He Bo being there, he would have run away immediately!
What on earth was going on?
