If the Dragon Palace only has one senior brother, then this person should be it.
The young man looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes sharp: "You're the Ye Qiu that Ling'er brought back from outside? Let's get acquainted. My name is Xia Chen."
"oh."
Ye Qiu nodded lightly, which was considered a greeting.
Ye Qiu wouldn't give a friendly look to someone who came with ill intentions.
Xia Chen frowned: "You seem to be very impolite. You should bow and respectfully call me Senior Brother."
"I did not enter the Dragon Palace as a disciple, so why should I call you senior brother?"
"Heh, you really are unruly." Xia Chen sneered, "Everyone outside is saying that you, this rising star in martial arts, have the potential to become the supreme martial arts master, but I don't believe it."
What is the supreme master of martial arts?
"To surpass the Grandmaster realm is to become the supreme martial artist."
"Sorry, I already am." Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Pfft.
The two female disciples couldn't help but chuckle.
But this smile was not mocking; it was a smile of goodwill.
Xia Chen was genuinely sneering: "Not much skill, but a big temper. Don't think that you're the only one in the whole world who has reached the Grandmaster level."
After speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Xia Chen, enveloping Ye Qiu.
His hostile gaze was as sharp and piercing as a blade.
"What do you mean by this? You want to fight?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"It's not a fight, but a test for the Dragon Palace to see if you're qualified to enter through the back door. If you can withstand ten of my moves, it means you have real talent and are qualified to become a member of the Dragon Palace without taking the test."
Xia Chen said seriously.
That being said, everyone understood that Xia Chen wanted to give Ye Qiu, this newcomer, a hard time.
Ye Qiu frowned, about to accept the challenge, when Long Ling hurriedly ran over.
What are you doing?
Long Ling's expression was serious.
"Ling'er, Ye Qiu has been extremely rude to me and his words are arrogant. I would like to experience his skills firsthand."
Xia Chen said seriously.
"Really?" Long Chen looked at Ye Qiu: "How could you do this? This is Senior Brother."
"Oh." Ye Qiu said indifferently, "That's your senior brother, not mine. I can understand that you like him and speak up for him, but that doesn't mean I should call him senior brother too. He's too weak and doesn't deserve it."
"you..."
Long Ling gritted her teeth, knowing that Ye Qiu had completely misunderstood her.
When she said she liked Senior Brother, it was just a casual remark, meant to fool Ye Qiu; she didn't actually like him.
But now, a casual remark, coupled with the current situation, seems to have led Ye Qiu to completely misunderstand.
For some reason, Long Ling felt a tightness in her chest.
"Junior sister, step aside and let me teach him a lesson."
Xia Chen was already quite impatient.
He was at the Grandmaster level and had no fear of Ye Qiu.
Long Ling stepped in between, staring at Ye Qiu, and said seriously, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that you can't..."
"Alright, move aside. Someone is trying to intimidate me. This is none of your business, and you can't control it."
Ye Qiu interrupted Long Ling, too lazy to listen anymore.
Seeing Ye Qiu's somewhat impatient attitude towards her, Long Ling felt aggrieved and tears welled up in her eyes, feeling extremely distressed.
Ye Qiu ignored her, pushing her aside and looking directly at Xia Chen, saying calmly, "Since you want to try, I can grant your wish. But let me make this clear: if you lose today, you must respectfully bow to me and call me Senior Brother in the future."
"Okay, fine, but if you lose, you'll have to do the same from now on."
Xia Chen said in a deep voice.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female.
This rule applies in many places.
Even if Ye Qiu didn't care, being in the mortal world, he couldn't avoid being targeted even if he didn't provoke others.
With the two making their agreement, a battle seemed imminent.
A large number of people from the Dragon Palace had already gathered around to watch, and whispers were constantly going on.
"Just as I thought, as soon as Ye Qiu arrives, Senior Brother Xia Chen will definitely find a way to make a move."
"Ye Qiu is already well-known, while Senior Brother Xia Chen is the pride of our Dragon Palace. It's understandable that these two would be unwilling to submit to each other when they meet."
"Hey, I wonder who's stronger. I bet Senior Brother will win, after all, he's mastered many of the most profound martial arts techniques of the number one martial arts school in the world."
"I disagree with that statement. Ye Qiu is no weakling either. He killed someone like the King of Zhongbei, which shows his strength. Let's see how he performs in actual combat."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Xia Chen slowly raised his hand and drew his sword.
Clang!
The ancient sword emitted a clear sound, like the cry of a divine bird, and its blade flashed, pointing towards Ye Qiu.
"Don't say I'm bullying you, I can let you make the first move."
Xia Chen was extremely confident.
"You go first. If I make the first move, you won't even have a chance to make a move."
Ye Qiu said calmly.
