"I'm willing to join the Dragon King Palace!" Ye Lingsu sighed and said softly when she met Lu Yuan's gaze.
Upon hearing Ye Lingsu's words, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Welcome, Sect Leader Ye. We're on the same side from now on. I'll hold a meeting to welcome you later."
"After today, Sect Leader Ye can return to your post in the medicinal hall. After all, you're quite familiar with Senior Dugu. As for the plight of the Nine-hearted Begonia Sect, leave it to the Dragon King Palace. Since Sect Leader Ye has joined us, we'll naturally protect you. You can rest assured about this."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingsu nodded her head. She sized up Lu Yuan carefully with her beautiful eyes. This handsome young man was so pleasing to the eye, but his character was exceptionally domineering.
Ye Lingsu couldn't help but sigh when she recalled what he said earlier. She could either join and he would naturally welcome her, or she could refuse and he would send her away.
He didn't give her a third choice, nor did he have much reluctance. The Nine-hearted Begonia Sect seemed to be an ordinary force in his eyes. He didn't hesitate to send her away.
She originally thought that even if this young man didn't agree to the marriage, he would at least loosen the conditions and she would be able to fight for more benefits.
She didn't expect that not only did the conditions not change, but she was also at a complete disadvantage in the negotiation.
There was no other way. The addition of the Nine-hearted Begonia Sect was just icing on the cake for the Dragon King Palace. It wouldn't matter if they didn't join.
However, this wasn't the case for the Nine-hearted Begonia Sect. The predicament they were facing now was extremely serious. They desperately needed a protective umbrella to prevent the Nine-hearted Begonia Sect from being swallowed up by others.
Therefore, under such circumstances, they could only choose to join the Dragon King Palace. After all, this was relatively the most suitable place for them.
In fact, from the beginning, Ye Lingsu only had one choice.
What she had been doing was nothing more than fighting for more things and a higher status. It was a pity that she met such a domineering Lu Yuan. All her calculations fell through.
Seeing that Ye Lingsu was sizing him up, Lu Yuan could not help but frown. What was this woman thinking?
"Sect Master Ye, why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask softly.
Ye Lingsu sighed, then smiled and said, "Lord Lu, has anyone ever told you that you are actually very domineering?"
"Does Sect Master Ye think I'm very overbearing?" Lu Yuan asked indifferently.
"Very domineering. His personality is also very strong. Just now, Hallmaster Lu did not leave me any room for negotiation," Ye Lingsu said softly.
"Hehe, if Sect Master Ye says so, then so be it!" Hearing Ye Lingsu's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. Since Ye Lingsu said that he was strong, then so be it.
After all, he was the Lord of the Dragon King Palace and the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Palace. How high was his status? So what if he was a little overbearing?
Moreover, a man should be strong. Could it be that he was weak and gentle like a woman?
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
"Hallmaster Lu is very open-minded." Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't seem to care at all, Ye Lingsu couldn't help but smile. This young man was not pretentious at all.
"Hallmaster Lu, I have a question for you," Ye Lingsu said softly.
"What is it?" Lu Yuan said indifferently.
"Hallmaster Lu, what I want to ask is, if we don't talk about marriage and only talk about feelings, if my daughter pursues you, will you accept her?"
"Or rather, will you fall in love with my daughter?" Ye Lingsu's red lips parted slightly as she stared straight at Lu Yuan.
Even at this moment, she still hadn't given up on the thought in her heart. She still believed that Lu Yuan was the best choice for Ye Lingling.
"Hehe, I can't answer your question because this is just a hypothesis. However, there is one thing I can tell you. I only like beautiful women, the very beautiful kind."
As he said that, Lu Yuan chuckled and walked out of the palace.
"What kind of reply is this?" Looking at Lu Yuan's back, Ye Lingsu frowned slightly. So, did Lu Yuan mean that he would fall in love with Ye Lingling or not?
She really couldn't make sense of it in her heart.
For the first time, she felt that a man's mind was actually so difficult to understand.
Sighing deeply, Ye Lingsu shook her head and followed Lu Yuan's back as they walked out of the palace.
.....
In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.
Today was the seventh round of the qualifiers.
The Heavenly Star Battle Team finally welcomed a decent opponent.
"You all already know who our opponent is today, right?" Looking at the crowd in front of him, Lu Yuan said softly.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded. The name list for the seventh round of the qualifiers was already out. Their opponent was the Thunder Academy, a pretty good academy. Among the five elemental academies, the Thunder Academy's strength should be second only to the God Wind Academy.
They were considered relatively strong.
"Today's opponent isn't weak. Furthermore, the Thunder Academy's captain and I don't have a good relationship. We have some personal grudges. During the competition, it's very likely that this grudge will affect all of you. Therefore, when all of you fight, be more careful."
"Furthermore, although all of you have better soul ring combinations, there's still a problem with the combination of soul masters. The combination of two support-type soul masters isn't very reasonable. It's fine against ordinary teams, but against the Thunder Academy, I'm afraid that there will be some problems."
"However, I still believe that all of you can win. The previous battles were all child's play. Today's Thunder Academy is your true opponent, and also the true test of your fighting strength. Zhuqing and I will still not participate in this battle. Everything will depend on your own abilities."
"If you lose, everyone will be punished when we return. If you win, we'll celebrate like last time. I only hope that all of you won't disappoint me."
Lu Yuan said indifferently.
"Captain, don't worry. Just wait for our good news!"
Ling Wei clapped his hands and said loudly.
"Yes, elder brother. When the time comes, you just have to watch Qiu 'er's performance. Qiu' er will definitely beat them until they're looking for their teeth on the ground."
Wang Qiu 'er clenched her small fists lightly and said with a face full of confidence.
"Hehe, then I'll wait to see our little Qiu 'er's performance when the time comes!" Looking at Wang Qiu' er's cute appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, elder brother just has to wait and see. However, elder brother, if we win this time, you have to accompany Qiu 'er to play to your heart's content for another day!"
Wang Qiu 'er winked at Lu Yuan and said sweetly.
