The second elder and others were stunned, and then quickly exchanged glances.
Before Ye Qingchen showed his strength, none of them wanted to change their spot to Ye Qingchen.
The reason is that if Ye Qingchen gets the quota, he will take advantage of it.
But now, after Ye Qingchen defeated Nan Yunshui with one sword, the balance in their hearts suddenly tilted towards Ye Qingchen.
"Haha, I wonder what Young Master Ye wants?"
The second elder smiled and said: "As long as the request is not too excessive, we will try our best to satisfy it."
Ye Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and finally said it: "This junior wants to arrange for some people to go in and practice."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the second elder and others suddenly became stiff.
Why are they fighting for control of "Xuanzi Tianxing Lake"?
Isn't it just to give the young disciples in his sect a perfect opportunity to polish their martial arts foundation?
The number of places is originally limited.
If we give up who knows how many more places, wouldn't Huanxia Sect's participation in this "Battle for Tianhu" be in vain?
"Mr. Ye...is your request...a bit too much?"
The corner of the second elder's mouth twitched slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "How about you change your request?"
"Second Elder, this junior knows that this request is too much."
Ye Qingchen said: "But the reason why this junior wants this quota is to arrange for some people to go in and practice."
"If your sect can meet my request, this junior will definitely keep this favor in mind."
"If there is anything that cannot be resolved by your sect in the future, I will definitely know it as soon as possible and come to help."
Ye Qingchen's attitude was extremely sincere.
But the expressions of the second elder and others were still not as expressions as Panasonic.
They all could see that Ye Qingchen's potential was undoubtedly very strong.
If anything happens to the sect in the future, they will probably think of him.
But that's the future!
Ye Qingchen is not a disciple of their Huanxia Sect now.
If something unexpected happens in the future, they, the Huanxia Sect, have no reason to protect Ye Qingchen.
And if Ye Qingchen died due to some accident, wouldn't the promise they received from Ye Qingchen become a blank check?
"Master Ye, it's not because we don't believe in your promise."
The second elder said solemnly: "Since you can become the young sect master's friend, I guess your character has also been recognized by the young sect master."
"However, this matter is related to the future of my Huanxia Sect! No matter what, I will never give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Her tone was very decisive and did not allow any hint of discussion.
The other three elders also looked like they had nothing to talk about.
Ye Qingchen suddenly fell into a difficult situation.
Seeing this, Xia Qingyao was a little anxious and said:
"Second Elder, why can't you agree to his request? And he doesn't have to fill up all the quota to enter Tianhu. There are still many disciples of our Huanxia Sect who can enter."
"Young Sect Leader, in all matters involving the sect, the overall situation should be our top priority."
The second elder said earnestly and sincerely: "What's more, all the disciples of my Huanxia Sect in Tianhu are practicing, and some of them are my disciples of the Huanxia Sect..."
"How could the young sect master not know the difference between the two?"
Xia Qingyao: "..."
"Not only that, this may also cause dissatisfaction among other disciples who have not entered Tianhu Lake, causing a hidden division among the disciples of my Huanxia Sect...Such problems may also occur at the same time."
The second elder said calmly: "Now, young sect leader, do you understand why I can't agree to Young Master Ye's request?"
"I see."
Xia Qingyao sighed and couldn't help but close her eyes.
As the young sect leader of the Huanxia Sect, no matter what happens, as long as it involves the Huanxia Sect, she must look at the problem from the side of the Huanxia Sect.
Therefore, she could not say anything for Ye Qingchen in this matter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye...I still can't help you."
Xia Qingyao said feeling quite guilty.
"It doesn't matter. It's already good that you can bring me here and speak a few words for me."
Ye Qingchen shook his head and said with a smile: "As the second elder said, you are the young master of the Huanxia Sect. Naturally, you have to look at the problem from the perspective of the Huanxia Sect, not from the perspective of an outsider like me."
"You have done enough... Next, let me fight for this opportunity myself."
As he said this, Ye Qingchen stepped towards the second elder.
When he came within three feet of the second elder, he clasped his hands and said in a loud voice:
"Junior Ye Qingchen is here to learn the clever tricks of the second elder!"
"If this junior can survive twenty rounds in the hands of the second elder, please ask the second elder to agree to this junior's rude request!"
"If this junior cannot do it, then I will fight on behalf of Huanxia Sect for free and win first place for Huanxia Sect!"
"!!!"
Everyone present was shocked.
Even Xia Qingyao was severely shocked!
You know, the second elder of their Huanxia Sect is an eighth-level overlord!
An out-and-out late stage overlord!
With Ye Qingchen's strength, how could he survive twenty rounds in the hands of the second elder?!
"Master Ye, please take back what you said before!"
Xia Qingyao said eagerly: "With your strength, it is impossible to do it!"
"Young Sect Leader is right."
The second elder frowned slightly and said: "Although the strength you have shown far exceeds your level of cultivation, based on your strength, you are still far from qualified to challenge me!"
"I advise you to give up the unreasonable request just now."
"As long as you perform well in the 'Battle for Tianhu', I will still give you adequate compensation."
However, Ye Qingchen didn't say a word and still stood there.
His stubborn attitude is enough to explain everything.
The second elder's face had become a little impatient.
Just when she was about to speak again, a voice like an ethereal fairy suddenly came.
"Okay, this sect leader will accept your challenge on behalf of Luo Xia."
As the voice fell, a figure that seemed to be bathed in the glow suddenly appeared in the main hall.
The owner of this figure is none other than Xia Qingyao’s master and the leader of the Huanxia Sect—Yunyang Qing!
"Meet the sect master!"
"Meet the Master!"
When the Second Elder and others and Xia Qingyao saw that figure, they immediately bent down and saluted.
Ye Qingchen also quickly followed suit.
"No need to be polite."
Yun Yangqing sat on the main seat, raising her bare hands lightly and looking at Ye Qingchen below with a pair of red phoenix eyes.
"Ye Qingchen, this sect leader has heard all your requests just now."
"This sect leader just wants to ask you a question now."
Yun Yangqing said calmly: "Is the Ye in your name the same 'Ye' from the Ye family in Wuhuang Country?"
"Why did the sect master suddenly ask this question?"
The second elder and others were a little confused.
But only Ye Qingchen and Xia Qingyao were shocked.
Could it be...did she see something?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingchen had no choice but to concentrate his energy and transmit his voice.
"The sect leader has good eyesight... This junior is indeed a member of the Ye family."
"I wonder what the sect master's intention is in asking this question?"
Hearing this, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Yun Yangqing's face.
She turned her eyes to the second elder and said, "Luo Xia, please get ready."
The second elder was stunned and said in disbelief: "Sect Master, is it possible that you really want to agree to his request?"
"if not?"
Yun Yangqing raised her chin towards Ye Qingchen: "Tell me, with the potential he has shown, is there any reason why you can't agree to him?"
"But……"
"Okay, if you continue to be so evasive, I will let Gu Yu take your place."
The "Gu Yu" she refers to is the third elder next to the second elder.
Hearing this, the second elder's face twitched and he quickly said:
"Sect Master, calm down, I'll be ready now."
After saying that, she stepped out and walked towards Ye Qingchen.
"Although I don't know why the sect master suddenly asked me to agree to your unreasonable challenge, after all, you are the young sect master's friend, and I won't be too harsh on you."
The second elder said expressionlessly: "But don't think that I will let you down because of this... When it's time for you to lose, you have to lose!"
"Thank you, Second Elder, for reminding me!"
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
Then he summoned the Yucang Sword, and a massive amount of sword energy suddenly erupted from his body, like a peerless sharp sword!
boom!
He shouted low, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and his whole body flew out like an arrow from a string, rushing towards the second elder!
