"Ying'er, don't stand behind me, go behind Ye Qiu."
The old palace master smiled.
"master..."
Ying'er was shy and unwilling to move.
“Old Palace Master, if Ying’er is unwilling, please don’t force her. She should be the one to make her own decisions about her life. We absolutely cannot force her.”
Ye Qiu immediately seized the opportunity to speak.
Ye Qiu had a premonition that the old patriarch was going to force him to make some choices.
But the old temple master was clearly not buying it. He only glanced at Ying'er, and Ying'er immediately took small steps and walked to Ye Qiu's side.
"Ying'er, show us your special skills."
The old temple master said.
"Um."
Ying'er nodded.
Then, Ying'er quickly formed hand seals.
Three seconds later, Ying'er's figure vanished into thin air, and even her aura disappeared.
However, Ye Qiu's current cultivation level is very high, and he can still sense Ying'er's location, although the perception is not very obvious.
This is enough to show that Ying'er's ability to become invisible has reached its peak.
"sharp."
Ye Qiu gave a thumbs up.
"Ying'er's cultivation is at the peak of the Martial God Realm, only half a step away from entering the Dao and stepping into the Tongtian Realm. The Tongtian Realm is also known as the Martial Emperor Realm, which is your current realm."
The old temple master said.
"Am I already a Martial Emperor?"
Ye Qiu was somewhat puzzled.
"That's right," the old temple master said. "Being able to use one's body as a conduit to communicate with heaven and earth and easily obtain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, reaching this level means breaking through the shackles of martial arts and stepping into a new world."
From this day forward, you will no longer be a mere martial artist; it would be more accurate to describe you as a spiritual practitioner.
You should know that 99% of martial arts masters are unable to break through the barriers and enter the ranks of cultivators.
"Is Ying'er considered a cultivator?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Yes," the old temple master said with a smile. "Her aptitude is no worse than mine, and she will definitely be able to help you in the future."
“Old Palace Master, I understand what you mean, but I have only been in the Dragon Palace for a short time, and..."
"I won't listen to these arguments." The old temple master interrupted Ye Qiu: "I am about to embark on a long journey, and the Dragon Palace will surely be inherited by you."
Ying'er is my most beloved disciple. Only by entrusting her to you can I feel at ease. No one else will do, because only you are worthy of Ying'er.
However, you should not think that once Ying'er is with you, you can no longer have contact with other women. Just know when to stop.
Of course, if Ying'er can keep you in check, that would be even better. Think it over carefully.
After hearing what he said, Ye Qiu was genuinely stunned.
He never expected that the old palace master would not only hand over Ying'er to him, but also give him the Dragon Palace.
The first one was alright, after all, Ying'er was also pretty and charming.
But Ye Qiu found the latter one hard to accept.
“Old Palace Master, the Dragon Palace is directly under the command of Lord Xia, but I do not want to be controlled by anyone, not even Lord Xia. Therefore, I am afraid I am not qualified to serve as the Palace Master of the Dragon Palace.”
Ye Qiu said seriously.
"Who says the Dragon Palace must obey the Xia Emperor? The rumors in the world are wrong." The old palace master smiled and said, "The Dragon Palace was founded at the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you understand what its original purpose was? Let me tell you, the original purpose of the Dragon Palace was to supervise the Xia Emperors of all generations and to control the martial arts world. If a tyrannical and immoral emperor appeared, the Dragon Palace could find someone to replace him."
Later, the Dragon Palace underwent some changes, but its original purpose remained unchanged.
Of course, if you feel that the rules of the Dragon Palace do not suit your taste, you are free to change them, as long as you do not violate the greater good.
Ye Qiu was truly at a loss for words when he heard what the old hall master said.
His doubts were all resolved by the old temple master in just a few words.
At this point, it's impossible to find a good reason to refuse.
"Alright, kid, if you become the Dragon Palace Master, it will be of great benefit to you. At least with the identity of the Dragon Palace Master, your grudges with Ye Huangchao or Zhou Ziling will be much less troublesome."
The old temple master said.
These words struck a chord with Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu no longer hesitated: "Alright, then I will accept this great task."
"That's right. One last thing: no matter what happens, you must treat Ying'er well. I'm entrusting Ying'er to you. From this moment on, you will take over the position of Palace Master of the Dragon Palace. This is the symbol of the Palace Master's status, and it's officially handed over to you."
The old temple master removed the thumb ring from his thumb and put it on Ye Qiu's finger, saying, "This is not only a symbol of status, but also a spatial ring. That's right, it's the kind you see in fantasy novels. It can store many things. It contains some of my savings accumulated over the years, which I'm giving to you. You can spend it as you please."
"How...how do you see it?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"Drip blood, and you're bound to the master."
"good."
Under the guidance of the old temple master, Ye Qiu quickly mastered the technique and saw the internal space of the ring.
The ring has a large interior space, about 100 square meters, and contains many precious items, including more than a dozen antiques, which are priceless.
Besides antiques, there were also mountains of cash, gold and silver, and various rare medicinal herbs.
Ye Qiu touched and estimated that the cash inside the ring was worth over a billion, plus the antiques, gold, silver and medicinal herbs. The assets inside the ring could truly be described as being richer than a country.
"Old...Old Palace Master, can we really just squander so much stuff like this?"
Ye Qiu was stunned.
"Of course you can. These are all external things, so there's no need to be stingy with your spending. As for the people under the Dragon Palace, you don't need to worry about their salaries; the Great Xia will pay for them," the old palace master said with a smile.
