Inside the meeting hall, Ji Qian Bai and them were conflicted. They looked at Ling Xian and stopped themselves from speaking.
Everything was very clear. If they wanted to ensure that the Array of the Astonished Gods would successfully transform, then they had to beg Ling Xian.
Yet they had just been slapped in the face by him. Though they weren't angry, they weren't happy at all. Yet right now, they had to plead with him. How could they put down their pride?
Remember that these people were all top figures in Yuezhou. Which one of them wasn't highly respected and high above others?
It was impossible for them to take the initiative to ask for help, especially when they had just been slapped in the face.
However, the Array of the Astonished Gods was far too important. It was equivalent to the Shang Qing Sect's lifeline. Without this array, this giant's capability would decrease by at least 30 percent!
Therefore, Ji Qian Bai gritted his teeth, "Xian Ling, I hope you can help the Array of the Astonished Gods successfully transform."
"To be honest, I can guarantee that the array will successfully transform."
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. Then, before everyone's excited gazes, he uttered out a statement that infuriated them.
"But, why should I help?"
At this, Ji Qian Bai and them were enraged. Waves of terrifying Qi roared out of them. If this palace didn't have an extremely powerful defensive array, it would've been crushed by their Qi.
Ling Xian's face turned white as well and he couldn't help but stumble back a few steps.
If he faced them with his real self, then this wouldn't have happened. But don't forget, he was merely of the tenth level of Qi. To be able to merely regress was already a feat.
"Is this the attitude you should have when begging someone?"
Ling Xian's lips curled up into a sarcastic and cold smile. Though his face was pale from the Qi, he wasn't at all afraid.
After cultivating for so many years, he was no longer the young cultivator from back then. If he calls out his real self, then even if these powerhouses attack him together, they may not be able to stop him.
"You!"
Ji Qian Bai paused and then slowly retracted his Qi. Everyone else did the same.
Because Ling Xian was right. When begging someone, one should have the right attitude.
Although in terms of status, he couldn't be compared to Ji Qian Bai and the others. But based on the current situation, if they want to ensure the success of the Array of the Astonished Gods' transformation, then they have to humble themselves and beg him!
"Headmaster, as a disciple of the Shang Qing Sect, logically speaking, I should help."
Seeing everyone retract their Qi, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He knew that because of the Array of the Astonished Gods, they will choose to yield. In this way, if he didn't take the opportunity to ridicule them, wouldn't he be wasting this opportunity?
Therefore, he sighed, "However, your lack of trust back then really disappointed me."
Hearing this, Ji Qian Bai and the others were a little embarrassed and a little helpless.
To ensure the successful transformation of the Array of the Astonished Gods, they had to sacrifice themselves. Even if they had to lose face, they had to beg Ling Xian.
"Sigh, forget it. I won't bother with this face for now."
Ji Qian Bai gritted his teeth and decided to risk it all. He bowed down and made a fist with one hand, "Xian Ling, I apologize for what happened just now. I hope you can forgive me and help me."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was instantly stunned.
Who was Ji Qian Bai?
He was the Supreme Headmaster of the Shang Qing Sect and one of the three leaders of Yuezhou. Whether it was his capabilities or his identity, he was the best in Yuezhou!
Yet at this moment, such a super important figure was bowing to a little meditational cultivator in such a grand manner. Moreover, his attitude was so humble. How unbelievable was this?
Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
Even Yu Wu Xiu, who had been emotionless, frowned. Her expression changed a little.
Ling Xian was moved as well. He didn't think this giant of Yuezhou would lower himself and act so humbly.
What happened next moved him even more.
Perhaps it was because the Supreme Headmaster had apologized, the four peak leaders and the three grandmasters all bowed down to Ling Xian. Though they didn't say anything to apologize, their actions had made their attitude clear.
They were apologizing to Ling Xian for what happened just now.
Remember that though their statuses were a little lower than Ji Qian Bai's, they were all prominent figures. However, at this moment, all of them had lowered themselves. How shocking was this?
Luckily, there were no outsiders here. Or else they would fall into a state of shock at this scene!
Everyone's actions made Ling Xian secretly happy. He felt like he didn't waste his time coming here.
Who were these people before him? Though he wasn't the best in Yuezhou, he was still a giant with a status that was frighteningly high!
In this world, who could make them bow and lower their statuses? Ling Xian was probably the only one.
Don't forget, these people had just been slapped in the face by him. Yet now, they had to lower themselves and apologize to him. Who wouldn't feel good about this?
Though he was feeling good, Ji Qian Bai and them were acting like they just ate a dead child. Their faces were extremely ugly.
They had been slapped in the face by Ling Xian, yet they had to lower themselves and beg him. What was going on!
Ji Qian Bai and them were full of bitterness. They felt like they had completely lost all face.
But even if they didn't want this face, they had to endure it. They had to endure it!
Because the Array of the Astonished Gods could not be lost. Ling Xian was the only one who had hope of helping this array!
Therefore, everyone suppressed the humiliation and bitterness they felt. They maintained their low posture and waited for Ling Xian's response.
"Not bad, not bad. The Supreme Headmaster, four peak leaders, and three grandmasters of the Shang Qing Sect are all here. This is something I have never experienced in the Hidden Territory."
Ling Xian silently smiled. He felt his entire body relaxed and he was feeling extremely good.
"This feels good."
Looking at the important figures before him who had lowered themselves, Ling Xian revealed a satisfied smile. However, he knew very well that he couldn't push his luck. After all, he was going to stay at the Shang Qing Sect for a long time.
If he angered these important figures of the Shang Qing Sect, then he would be in deep trouble.
Therefore, he pretended to be polite, "Aye, everyone, are you trying to kill me? You're all my elders, how can you be so courteous to me, a junior? Stand up. "
Hearing this, Ji Qian Bai and them were speechless. Naturally, they knew that Ling Xian was pretending.
But since they had already lost all face, they didn't care about this anymore. Therefore, they straightened their bodies and looked at Ling Xian with hope in their eyes.
"Xian Ling, we have sincerely apologized to you. We hope you can forgive us and help us." Ji Qian Bai said in a low voice. His eyes were full of hope.
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. Whether it was to increase his own status or to leave a backup plan, he had to help the Array of the Astonished Gods.
Therefore, he softly grinned and uttered out a statement that made everyone crazy with joy.
"Since the Supreme Headmaster and the leaders are begging me, then of course I have to give you face."
