At this moment, Ye Qingfeng was completely bewildered.
What on earth was going on?
To assign him the position of chief steward of the spiritual material storehouse, yet grant him treatment akin to that of a hall master?
Ye Qingfeng had never in his life experienced such a feeling of gaining a position through connections!
He had no doubt that if he were to demand the position of the sole hall master of the Dark Soul Hall, Wang Pengyuan and the others would probably agree without hesitation!
Was all of this because of Ye Wushuang?
It was utterly perplexing!
After the announcement, the elders and hall leaders gradually dispersed, discussing the matter among themselves.
Next, the three hall masters intended to take Ye Qingfeng to his new post, but he declined. In the end, it was Xu Qiuyuan who accompanied Ye Qingfeng to the spiritual material storehouse to assume his duties.
Along the way, Ye Qingfeng and Xu Qiuyuan exchanged puzzled glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
Upon arriving at the spiritual material storehouse, they were greeted by a lineup of more than a dozen minor stewards at the Ningmai stage and over a hundred warriors at the Lianti stage, all there to welcome Ye Qingfeng.
The hall leader in charge of the spiritual material storehouse, having received the news, immediately came to make arrangements.
Since the three hall masters had spoken, Ye Qingfeng was to be treated as if he were one of them—how could there be any negligence?
“Greetings, Manager Ye!”
A middle-aged man, a master at the fifth level of the Ningmai stage, stepped forward with a smile and said, “The hall leader instructed me that if you have any questions, just ask me. My name is Wu Hui!”
Ye Qingfeng replied with a trembling smile, “From now on, we are all working together for the Dark Soul Hall!”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Wu Hui then led Ye Qingfeng around the spiritual material storehouse, explaining the daily tasks and responsibilities.
Finally, Wu Hui said, “Manager Ye, your monthly salary is one hundred thousand spirit stones. You can collect it from Hall Leader Li at the beginning of each month.”
What?
One hundred thousand spirit stones?
Ye Qingfeng was completely stunned!
Even a hall leader wouldn’t receive such a high salary!
After a “busy” day, Ye Qingfeng was escorted by Old He Bo, riding in a carriage specially arranged by the Dark Soul Hall, heading back to the Ye Mansion.
Inside the carriage, Ye Qingfeng said with a serious expression, “Old He, you have to explain this to me. The enthusiasm of Wang Pengyuan and the others is not just because Shuang’er taught Qiuyuan the art of formations!”
Old He Bo replied with a wry smile, “Third Master, I can’t explain this. It has to be explained by the young master!”
“Humph, then I’ll ask him!”
Throughout the day, Ye Qingfeng felt that he wasn’t there to seek a position; it was as if the Dark Soul Hall was **bestowing** a position upon him!
Upon returning to the Ye Mansion, Ye Qingfeng immediately found Ye Wushuang, who was in the middle of refining pills, and couldn’t help but ask, “Good nephew, tell your third uncle what’s really going on?”
Ye Wushuang looked curious and asked, “What’s wrong? Did Third Uncle get bullied at the Dark Soul Hall?”
“Bullied?”
Ye Qingfeng fumed, “Those three hall masters treated me more respectfully than their own fathers. Who would dare bully me at the Dark Soul Hall now?”
“Isn’t that good?” Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh.
“What’s good about it!” Ye Qingfeng said bitterly. “Good nephew, I wanted to find a job to temper myself. Your third uncle can’t rely on you for a lifetime!”
Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment.
With a *click*, the pill furnace opened, and the pill was completed.
Ye Wushuang got up, collected the pill, placed it in a brocade box, and then said, “I understand. Wang Pengyuan and the others might have been too enthusiastic. I’ll talk to them later.”
Ye Qingfeng, however, was still worried and said, “Good nephew, are you conspiring with them? Don’t take any risks!”
“Third Uncle is overthinking!” Ye Wushuang laughed and said, “Those three have been poisoned, and I happen to be able to cure them, just like with Mu Junli from the Qingyun Pavilion. That’s why they’re so polite to you.”
“So that’s how it is…” Ye Qingfeng finally understood.
He then looked at Ye Wushuang and said again, “But you must tell them clearly that I’m not there to just get by. I really want to temper myself!”
“Our Ye family relies on you, and it’s too hard for you. Although your third uncle doesn’t have great abilities, I must do my part!”
Ye Wushuang immediately said solemnly, “Definitely!”
After much persuasion, Ye Qingfeng left.
Ye Wushuang, lost in thought, couldn’t help but smile.
Although he hadn’t been there, he could more or less guess what had happened at the Dark Soul Hall.
Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian must have been overly enthusiastic!
However, this was to be expected.
In reality, Ye Wushuang would eventually leave the Qingyun Empire one day, and when that time came, the vast Dark Soul Hall might truly need his uncle to take over!
Ye Qingfeng finally understood the reason, but on the other side, there was still one person who was completely bewildered…
