Ye Qianning understood immediately: "Does he think the people in the martial arts world are fools?"
"Whether it's true or not, Mount Penglai has always been a magnet for people." Sang Zhi poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Ye Qianning. "The objects that grew on Mount Penglai are now on display before everyone. You were once a Beili person, and the Emperor of Beili was able to produce a map of Mount Penglai. Even those who doubted it had to trust you a little more."
indeed!
Ye Qianning understood that Emperor Beili wanted to win over and suppress the people in the martial arts world, and Penglai Mountain was indeed a good excuse.
No matter how secret the secret of Sang Zhi's eyes was ten years ago, some information has leaked out over the years, and there is a vague connection between the Beili royal family and the Penglai Fairy Mountain Map.
Many people in Dongwei also know about this.
Once this news came out, Dongyi would not miss this opportunity.
The fact that Emperor Beili offered such a reward made the rumors even more convincing.
"The emperor also promised that if Beili gets the crown, he can form a team to go out to sea to search for the island, and Beili will provide all the supplies and money." Sang Zhi said.
"The prize is indeed tempting." Ye Qianning was very excited after hearing it. She raised her eyes and asked: "When did you get the news?"
Gu Shuo returned home as soon as he got the news. It was when Gu Shuo told her that Xi Mi also brought the news.
They just said that Emperor Beili was going to hold a martial arts competition, but they hadn't mentioned the prizes yet.
"just."
Sang Zhi answered truthfully.
"Who are the people around you?" Ye Qianning asked casually.
"A hidden sect."
"Why would I follow you?"
"My internal strength."
"Are you the sect leader now?" This was the first time Ye Qianning asked Sang Zhi this question directly since he met him.
“Not really.”
"I heard that you disappear for a few days every now and then and come back seriously injured. Did they beat you?"
"no."
"Where is it?"
"The energy in my body is flowing and it explodes every once in a while. They suppress it for me."
The questions and answers were very calm on both sides.
It was like chatting about family matters, with an indescribable harmony.
"Didn't they ask you to do anything?"
Without absolute benefits, who would swear to protect him until death?
Sang Zhi's expression was strange for a moment, and he said slowly: "Yes, I can do it."
"Yeah." Ye Qianning didn't delve into what exactly happened: "It's good that you have a force around you that can protect yourself."
Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, as if pondering her words. After a long while, he asked, "I have enough strength. Will you join me?"
"Won't."
Ye Qianning didn't even think about it.
"Why?"
Sang Zhi's red eyes became even redder because of his emotions.
"I have my family. It's impossible for me to stay in Beili."
One year, at most.
She will leave Beili with her family and she has her own plans.
Born in troubled times, she wants to find a place for her family that cannot be shaken by anyone.
"I mean..."
"I don't consider it." Ye Qianning interrupted him and said, "Besides, I only consider you a friend."
Madam Zhan, Mrs. Dai, and my father have all asked her, how could she not understand.
In her past and present lives, she had never considered getting married, nor had she ever been attracted to anyone. She used to treat Sang Zhi as her younger brother, and she still treated him as such now.
Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses.
He was too impatient.
"Since we're friends, can you please stop treating me like a child? I'm already twenty."
"I'll try my best."
Even though he has grown up, he has not changed much in her heart.
Sang Zhi paused for a moment, then laughed. (End of this chapter)
