Elder You immediately drank it all in one gulp!
"Elder, you flatter me! Why apologize? Why do you need to do this?" Ye Wuque quickly raised his cup again and stood up, his tone sincere, yet tinged with a hint of fear.
"Sit down, sit down."
Elder You smiled broadly and quickly asked Ye Wuque to sit down again.
Ye Wuque had no choice but to sit down again, but he immediately drank the wine in his cup.
Although the beast mask conceals the face, at this level of strength, one can drink freely if one so desires.
"Xuan Yi, after hearing my excuses in that quiet room, when you were gambling with your life, did you... hate me?"
Elder You abruptly changed the subject, suddenly asking Ye Wuque this question, and the gaze behind the mask seemed to sharpen.
The atmosphere in the pavilion seemed to pause slightly once again!
However, Ye Wuque immediately shook his head slowly.
"Reporting to the elder... no."
"Because that's how my Beast Organization does things."
"Strength and value determine your standing in the eyes of others!"
"Let alone a mere Sequence Three, even a Sequence One Beast Guardian is no different from an ant in front of a great figure like you, Elder."
"If you want to gain someone's respect and sincerity, you must first demonstrate sufficient value!"
"This is an eternal truth!"
"And Elder, you have already been very kind!"
"To be honest, back then, I wasn't even qualified to run errands for you, so why should I harbor resentment?"
“You have done quite well and been very kind and fair! You have given me a sufficient reward and even brought me under your command.”
"Elder You's people!"
"This title alone is an incredible help and value to me!"
"Therefore, I have no resentment towards you, Elder, only endless gratitude."
"It was this gratitude and desire, coupled with my own ambition, that drove me to take the gamble!"
"I believe in myself, I will forge ahead without hesitation, and with this belief in my heart, I will definitely succeed!"
"Finally, I succeeded!"
"When I stepped out of the beast's den, I felt the vastness of the sky and the expanse of the sea, and the magnificent waves!"
"I feel a complete transformation because I understand that I have reshaped myself. I am no longer just an ordinary Sequence 3; I want to become a valuable being!"
"Fight for your own future with your own two fists!"
"If it weren't for your encouragement and reward, Elder, I might still be struggling step by step, continuing to live the same old life."
After saying this last sentence, Ye Wuque stood up again, solemnly poured himself a glass of wine, and also poured another glass for Elder You.
"Elder You!"
"This third toast is for you!"
"Without you, I might not be who I am today!"
Ye Wuque raised his cup with both hands, his tone respectful and grateful, and gently clinked glasses with Elder You before drinking it all in one gulp!
Elder You just stared at Ye Wuque, and then finished his third cup of wine.
Then he just kept staring at Ye Wuque without saying a word.
Ye Wuque met his gaze in return, remaining respectful.
A few breaths later.
Hahahaha!
Elder You's long laugh rang out, filled with a deep joy.
"Okay, okay!"
The three consecutive "good"s clearly demonstrated Elder You's approval.
"Xuan Yi, you are indeed a talent, and a talent even more rare than I imagined!"
"Don't worry, your current value and strength have already reached the peak of Sequence One!"
"I will continue to cultivate you with great effort. This time, it won't be empty words. Because, as you said, strength and value determine status and position, and also determine how you are treated..."
"Hehehe... You Laoba, your empty promises are as meaningless and utterly pointless as ever! What a disappointment!"
A sudden, deep yet powerful laugh interrupted Elder You's next words.
Elder You's movements paused slightly!
The next instant, two figures appeared outside the pavilion, approaching from afar and striding towards it.
One of them was none other than Bai Yi, who had just left not long ago.
He stood behind, following respectfully, while the leading figure, though not tall, was robust, like a mountain!
The black mask he wore on his face testified to his high status...
Black-faced Elder!
The fact that this black-faced elder could speak in the tone of "Old Eighth Elder You" and act like Elder You, and that Bai Yi followed him so respectfully, made his identity obvious...
Elder Xiao!
He is in the same Black Face Elder sequence as Elder You, and in terms of ranking, he seems to be above Elder You.
He actually came in person!
Elder Xiao stepped into the pavilion.
Elder You immediately stood up and met his gaze.
Instantly, the atmosphere inside the pavilion became incredibly terrifying!
Tensions are high!
A storm is brewing!
The two black-faced elders were either prominent figures in the Beast Organization!
If word got out that they were all gathered here now, it would cause quite a stir.
After all, the black-faced elders within the Beast Organization are usually elusive, rarely seen unless the organization is planning something earth-shattering. They all have their own things to do.
"Third Brother Xiao! Your mouth is as foul as ever!"
Elder You's tone turned cold at this moment, and he spoke eloquently without hesitation, his gaze behind the mask sharp as a knife.
As a result, Elder Xiao didn't even glance at Elder You, but instead looked at Ye Wuque.
"You're the Xuan Yi who just displayed such power and scared Bai Yi, right?"
"Excellent! Indeed, he is a dragon among men. Now that I have seen him, I am even more certain of this!"
Elder Xiao stared at Ye Wuque and said with a smile, his tone so kind and friendly, just like the old grandfather of the leader.
His style of doing things is clearly completely different from Elder You's!
"Xuan Yi greets Elder Xiao!"
Ye Wuque naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately stood up to bow respectfully.
"No need to be so polite and formal. Look, I've come all this way, not just to see you. Perhaps after today, you'll be just like Bai Yi, one of my people! Hehehe!"
Elder Xiao acted as if he were completely at home, and with a wave of his right hand, a stool appeared out of thin air, and he sat down.
The entire process was smooth and seamless.
Bai Yi stood quietly behind Elder Xiao.
But the next instant!
An extremely cold and terrifying aura suddenly rose from Elder You's body, enveloping the surrounding area!
Elder You seemed to be staring intently at Elder Xiao, his tone turning cold.
"Third Brother Xiao, do you know what you're saying?"
"Are you trying to snatch someone from this elder's hands right to my face?!"
Elder Xiao chuckled softly, his eyes beneath the mask also fixed on Elder You, and he spoke each word with a sharp, confrontational tone: "Eighth Elder You, haven't you ever heard the saying..."
"A good bird chooses its tree to perch on!"
"But if you insist on an answer, then I will give you a clear answer..."
"That's right!"
"I'm going to steal it! And I'll steal it right in front of you!"
"Because truly talented people are always in high demand and difficult to recruit!"
"so……"
What are you going to do?
