Ning Guichen spoke through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
Chu Fei glanced at Ning Guichen and said indifferently, "Brother Ning, some people are not to be trifled with just one look."
"You come from a holy race; logically, your insight should be more discerning than mine."
“Brother Chu, I think you are exaggerating a bit. I was just careless just now. In my opinion, this kid has brute strength, but he is not a threat. You and I come from the same place, so we should work together to get rid of him. Otherwise, he will become our greatest enemy when the battle begins.”
Ning Guichen said solemnly.
"No, no, no." Chu Fei waved his hand and said, "Brother Ning, if you want to go against him, then go ahead and do it. Don't drag me into it."
Also, in the future, don't call me Brother Chu in front of that fellow Daoist; I'm afraid he'll misunderstand.
"you..."
Ning Guichen gritted his teeth, his face flushed with anger.
"Let me offer a word of advice: that fellow Daoist is no ordinary person. Perhaps he can rival Hua Dao, the number one expert in this ancient ship secret realm. You should consider this carefully. That's all I have to say."
As soon as Chu Fei finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Ning Guichen looking shocked.
...
On the other side, Yun Xian'er led Ye Qiu into her room.
Yun Xian'er's room was located by a small river, and the view from the window was picturesque and very elegant.
"Please...please sit wherever you like, don't be shy."
Yun Xian'er casually picked up a piece of her undergarment that she had hung out to dry, her face slightly flushed.
Here, her seductive charm had vanished without a trace, replaced by a hint of nervousness.
This surprised Ye Qiu: "You were faking it all along?"
"Everyone wears a mask. Can you honestly say you have absolutely nothing to hide?"
As Yun Xian'er spoke, she poured Ye Qiu a cup of tea.
After taking the tea from Yun Xian'er, Ye Qiu sniffed it and his expression turned strange.
“Young master, this tea is a top-grade Enlightenment Tea picked from a secret realm. Please try it,” Yun Xian’er said.
"It's good tea, but there seems to be something else in it, does Miss Xian'er know?"
Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Yun Xian'er was startled: "Young Master, I don't understand what you mean."
"Still pretending?" Ye Qiu grabbed Yun Xian'er's fair neck. "I just helped you outside, and now you want to poison me? Yun Xian'er, what are you thinking?"
"I...I know I was wrong." Yun Xian'er hurriedly said, "Young master, I had no choice. In...within this secret realm, I can't trust anyone."
Your unexpected help makes me feel even more uneasy.
"Don't you want to know why I helped you?" Ye Qiu released Yun Xian'er.
"Young master, can you tell me?"
"Then watch closely."
Ye Qiu slightly raised his hand, and a Crimson Dragon Token appeared in his palm.
The Crimson Dragon Token emitted a scorching light and exuded an aura of majesty.
Upon seeing the Crimson Dragon Token, Yun Xian'er's expression changed drastically: "You... how did you obtain our Yinghuo's sacred artifact?"
"If you want to know, then calm down and listen to me, okay?"
"Yes, of course."
Yun Xian'er became very excited.
Ye Qiu didn't keep anyone in suspense and recounted everything in detail.
When Ye Qiu finished speaking, Yun Xian'er was already in tears.
"My sister, she's dead."
Yun Xian'er murmured, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Yun Xian'er was clearly showing her truest self, without any pretense.
Ye Qiu put away the Crimson Dragon Token and said softly, "I promised your sister that I would help you, Yinghuo, out of the darkness, and I will definitely keep my word."
Yun Xian'er wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down: "Young master, I still don't know your name."
"Ye Qiu".
“Brother Ye, you chose to tell me immediately instead of keeping the Crimson Dragon Token for yourself. For that alone, I trust you unconditionally.”
"You now control the Crimson Dragon Token; from this day forward, you are my master, Yun Xian'er."
As Yun Xian'er spoke, she knelt down on one knee.
"Don't."
Ye Qiu helped Yun Xian'er up: "You don't need to do this. We are equals. I am only temporarily in control of the Crimson Dragon Token. I will return the Crimson Dragon Token once you have recovered."
“It can’t be returned.” Yun Xian’er said, “Once the Crimson Dragon Token recognizes its master, you will be the Lord of Yinghuo for life. All living beings in Yinghuo will respect you. You are essentially our emperor.”
"So this Crimson Dragon Token is equivalent to the Imperial Seal of the State?"
"Yes, that's roughly the idea."
"Fine, we'll deal with the future later." Ye Qiu didn't think much of it.
“Okay, by the way, Brother Ye, you beat up that Ning Guichen. He’s a descendant of the Holy Clan and he’s very close to Hua Dao. I suspect Hua Dao will come looking for trouble for you, so you should be careful,” Yun Xian’er said.
Who is Hua Dao?
“He is the strongest in this secret realm, and many people rely on him. As for his origins, no one knows,” Yun Xian’er said.
"I'm not afraid. If he dares to come, then we'll fight."
Ye Qiu was completely fearless.
"Heh, what a boastful tone. I'm here, let's come out and fight."
A cold voice suddenly came from outside.
Ye Qiu frowned.
He didn't even notice someone approaching.
"Kid, come out and face your death."
Ning Guichen's voice also came through.
Ye Qiu turned around and walked out the door.
Looking up, Ye Qiu saw more than a dozen people arriving together.
