Chapter 81

Chapter 79: Follower

The faces of Lei Bao and several other deputy captains changed; everyone wanted to be the captain.

But Jue Wuxing did not consult everyone and directly appointed Qian Yi to succeed him as captain, which naturally made them unhappy.

However, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Jue Wuxing had absolute authority in the Ten Absolute Squad.

"This Ten Absolute Squad is really willing to invest!" Tuoba Ye sighed.

Lei Ting said, "Tuoba Ye, if you agree to join the Ten Absolute Squad, your treatment won't be much worse than Qian Yi's."

"I definitely can't match him, because my talent is far inferior," Tuoba Ye shook his head.

Unless Tuoba Ye could win the championship, no one would pay attention to him.

He was very clear about his situation. With his balanced and wasted spiritual roots, even a small sect wouldn't treat him well.

However, Tuoba Ye was not disheartened. He felt very good. In his previous life, he didn't have any spiritual roots but still insisted on the path of cultivation. In this life, he not only had spiritual roots but also had a divine root in his body. He was very satisfied and full of confidence in himself.

"Tuoba Ye, I find you very hypocritical!" Lei Ting said.

"Even if I speak the truth, you won't believe me!" Tuoba Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Qian Yi glanced at Jue Wuxing and said calmly, "Thank you, Captain Jue Wuxing, for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining any squad. If I want to join a squad, I will form my own."

He directly said it in a way that left no room for negotiation, making Jue Wuxing's face very ugly.

"Good! Very good! I want to see how powerful the squad you form in the future will be," Jue Wuxing said coldly.

Seeing Qian Yi refuse to join the Ten Absolute Squad, Jue Wuxing was angry, while Lei Bao and others were secretly pleased, though they still pretended to be furious.

"Qian Yi, our captain letting you directly become a deputy captain is a sign of respect. You really don't know what's good for you," Lei Bao said loudly.

"Are you going to force people to join your Ten Absolute Squad?" Qian Yi said coldly.

Seeing the situation, Jue Wuxing knew that if this were to spread, the reputation of the Ten Absolute Squad would be ruined.

He quickly said, "Absolutely not. Mr. Qian Yi, whether you join the Ten Absolute Squad is entirely your choice."

"Please step aside!" Qian Yi was polite on the surface, but everyone could see that he didn't take the Ten Absolute Squad or Jue Wuxing seriously.

Jue Wuxing was extremely embarrassed and had no choice but to step aside.

Qian Yi walked past Jue Wuxing and stopped not far from Tuoba Ye.

Tuoba Ye didn't think Qian Yi was looking for him. Lei Ting was right next to him, and he found it strange why Qian Yi would look for Lei Ting.

Qian Yi's face showed a smile, a very handsome smile: "Miss Lei Ting, it's great to see you again!"

Lei Ting looked at Qian Yi: "What do you want? We only met once, and we're not that familiar."

"Miss Lei Ting, after I met you, your image has been in my mind. So I requested to join the Pill Cauldron Sect. I was finally recruited, and from now on, I will follow Miss Lei Ting, never leaving your side," Qian Yi said seriously.

Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "Miss Lei Ting, it seems you have quite a charm!"

Lei Ting's face turned a bit bitter: "Qian Yi, you joined the Pill Cauldron Sect on your own, don't drag me into it. Although I know you, we're not that familiar."

She found it strange herself why she was trying to distance herself from Qian Yi. She didn't have any particular relationship with him.

Moreover, she secretly glanced at Tuoba Ye and saw that his expression hadn't changed, which made her feel relieved.

This sneaky feeling was strange to Lei Ting, and she couldn't explain it.

"Miss Lei Ting, please let me follow you. We'll become familiar over time," Qian Yi said.

Tuoba Ye laughed and said, "Miss Lei Ting, you should agree. For someone as outstanding as Qian Yi to be your follower, you're really getting a good deal."

Qian Yi only noticed Tuoba Ye then, as he had only had eyes for Lei Ting before.

"You are Tuoba Ye, you are truly my soulmate!" Qian Yi said excitedly.

Tuoba Ye's hair stood on end, and he said, "Mr. Qian Yi, I'm not that familiar with you, so I'm not your soulmate."

He thought to himself, "This Qian Yi looks so handsome, could he be gay?"

Of course, he didn't say this out loud, as it would offend Qian Yi.

"Captain Tuoba Ye, you are absolutely right, and I couldn't help but get carried away!" Qian Yi said, a bit embarrassed.

Tuoba Ye felt a chill and thought, "Is Qian Yi really gay? That's impossible, he's pursuing Lei Ting, so he can't be gay."

He kept quiet to avoid Qian Yi saying something disgusting.

Seeing Tuoba Ye in a bind, Lei Ting felt much better, but when she saw Qian Yi, her mood worsened.

Qian Yi, with his excellent talent, was originally sought after by a major sect, but he joined the Pill Cauldron Sect because of Lei Ting.

Although he couldn't refine pills, the Pill Cauldron Sect wouldn't refuse such a world-class genius.

Some disciples of the Pill Cauldron Sect didn't refine pills and were purely combat personnel, but they were a minority.

"Qian Yi, if you like following me, as long as you win the championship this time, I will let you follow me," Lei Ting thought for a moment and said.

Qian Yi was immediately overjoyed: "Really? That's great!"

He was so excited that he danced around, and his movements were so graceful that several female disciples were stunned. However, with Lei Ting there, they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Wait until you win the championship. And just remember, you'll only be a follower, don't think too much," Lei Ting said.

Qian Yi smiled: "I won't think too much. As long as I can be by your side and see you every day, I will be satisfied."

Lei Ting's face turned dark, and she secretly glanced at Tuoba Ye, seeing that he was watching the competition and wasn't angry, which made her feel relieved.

She couldn't help but care about Tuoba Ye's opinion, which was strange.

She was still too young to understand the reason.

Qian Yi, with his thick skin, took the opportunity to sit next to Lei Ting, and his star-like eyes never left her. Of course, his gaze was clear and not lecherous.

Lei Ting ignored Qian Yi and continued to watch the competition.

"Captain, it looks like Qian Yi joined the Pill Cauldron Sect to pursue Miss Lei Ting," Lei Bao said with a laugh.

Jue Wuxing said coldly, "Everyone can see that, and Qian Yi has a significant background. Even Miss Lei Ting doesn't dare to offend him too much."

His face was a bit ugly because Qian Yi had offended him earlier.

But Qian Yi's background was too significant, and Jue Wuxing didn't dare to cause trouble for him without knowing the details.

"Captain, look! Bi Yuntian is on the stage!" Yang Bin said excitedly.

Bi Yuntian stood on the competition stage, his aura majestic like a mountain.

His opponent was also strong, a Nine-star Innate Martial God, but seeing that his opponent was Bi Yuntian, he lost all fighting spirit.

"Bi Yuntian, I am not your match. Please show mercy."

Directly conceding would be too embarrassing, so the Nine-star Innate Martial God wanted to hold out for a few more moves to avoid losing face in the Immortal Cloud Valley.

"Concede now, or I won't hold back," Bi Yuntian said coldly.

The Nine-star Innate Martial God's face turned extremely ugly. If Bi Yuntian really went all out, one move could kill him, and injuring him would be even easier.

He hesitated, unsure whether to concede. But conceding now would be even more embarrassing.

The Nine-star Innate Martial God gritted his teeth and decided not to concede, as he cared too much about his reputation.

"That kid doesn't concede, he'll probably be bedridden for months," Jue Wuxing said with a laugh.

He knew Bi Yuntian best and understood his strength.

Bi Yuntian often resolved battles in one move, and one move could severely injure his opponent.

Even among Nine-star Innate Martial Gods, there was a significant gap. Bi Yuntian was the top-tier, while his opponent was far behind.

"Captain, even I could easily defeat that kid," Lei Bao said.

"Tuoba Ye, how many moves do you think Bi Yuntian will take to resolve the battle?" Lei Ting asked.

Qian Yi said, "If I were to fight, I would resolve it in one move."

"It's none of your business, why are you speaking?" Lei Ting was very unhappy.

Seeing Lei Ting angry, Qian Yi quickly said, "Yes, I spoke out of turn!"

Seeing this strange pair, Tuoba Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Don't ask me about this. Ask Bi Yuntian how many moves he wants to take to end the battle, and he will definitely do it."

Lei Ting originally wanted to make things difficult for Tuoba Ye, but seeing his response, she was so angry she couldn't speak.

Qian Yi looked at Tuoba Ye and then at Lei Ting, sensing something was off between them.

He was very astute and didn't say anything, but observed secretly.

Bi Yuntian's match began, and he directly threw a punch, sending his opponent flying with a massive fist glow.

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking was clear, and everyone in the front row could hear it.

Bi Yuntian's opponent was severely injured and couldn't stand up, likely needing to lie in bed for a while to recover.

"Bi Yuntian! Bi Yuntian!..."

Cheers echoed continuously, louder than Qian Yi's.

Bi Yuntian was the favorite to win the championship, with only Jue Wuxing able to match him.

Jue Wuxing was cold and ruthless, while Bi Yuntian was handsome and extraordinary. In comparison, Bi Yuntian was more popular.

Bi Yuntian gracefully waved his hands and didn't leave the stage.

The referee also gave Bi Yuntian face and didn't force him to leave.

The cheers lasted for five minutes before Bi Yuntian slowly walked off the stage.

Jue Wuxing looked at Bi Yuntian and gritted his teeth: "This Bi Yuntian, he just likes to act cool, truly hypocritical."

"Exactly, when Captain goes on stage, he will be even more impressive," a member of the Ten Absolute Squad flattered.

Jue Wuxing was very pleased and his face improved.

"Tuoba Ye, what do you think of Bi Yuntian?" Lei Ting asked.

Qian Yi's face immediately changed. Why did Lei Ting always take the initiative to talk to Tuoba Ye and ignore him? He immediately understood the difference.

Tuoba Ye felt someone staring at him, turned his head, and saw Qian Yi staring at him with wide, red eyes.

Having lived two lives, he instantly understood what was going on.

"Miss Lei Ting, why don't you ask Mr. Qian Yi? I'm a new outer sect disciple and don't know much about Bi Yuntian," Tuoba Ye said calmly.
