For some reason, when Yan Niao heard the woman in front of him ask this question, a hint of panic welled up in his heart.
"Little Elder, this subordinate wouldn't dare."
"Wouldn't dare? It doesn't matter if you do."
Zhao Shuning found an empty seat and sat down.
"Ye Feng is my grandfather and my closest kin. I will never watch Qianji Sha go down the wrong path, and I will never let Qianji Sha be ruined in my hands."
"Guardian, if my memory serves me right, Qianji Sha's reputation in the martial world has been getting worse and worse, hasn't it?"
"We don't bother with those petty villains." Yan Niao said casually.
Zhao Shuning nodded.
Yes, she could have ignored this matter. She wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. But for the sake of Ye Feng's blood - relation to her, she would never allow Qianji Sha to continue like this.
Currently, Qianji Sha was highly regarded in the martial world. But if it didn't cherish its reputation and didn't know how to restrain the actions of some of its members, the consequences would be immeasurable.
Zhao Shuning didn't want to see Qianji Sha reach that point.
"May I ask for the guardian's name?"
"This subordinate is Yan Niao."
Zhao Shuning smiled faintly, with a strange look in her eyes. She walked towards Yan Niao and held out her hand.
"Hello, I'm Ye Ling."
Ye Feng, who was watching the show and munching on melon seeds, was shocked. The melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground.
Zhao Shuning saw that the guardian in front of her was a bit stunned and didn't reach out his hand.
She said again, "If the name Luo Feiyan doesn't carry any weight here, then will the name Ye Ling allow me to be regarded as a member of Qianji Sha?"
"Little Elder, you're being too modest. You've always been a noble guest of Qianji Sha. If the Elder insists on handing over the power to you, we can only obey."
"Can only obey, but in your hearts, you're not convinced, are you?"
Yan Niao lowered his head.
Zhao Shuning knew.
A young girl who appeared out of nowhere. Not only was Yan Niao unconvinced, but even those low - level spiritual pharmacists probably wouldn't be convinced either.
Zhao Shuning looked back. Her clothes fluttered behind her.
She looked at the people kneeling in the hall and said, "You all think that I, a young girl, am not qualified to sit in this position, right?"
Everyone lowered their heads.
Zhao Shuning said, "I've never been interested in the position of Elder. I also hope that the power of Qianji Sha can be handed over to someone who is whole - heartedly dedicated to Qianji Sha."
"Do you all think that Guardians Yan Niao and Yan Feng are both qualified for the position of Elder?"
The atmosphere was solemn, which showed how strict and cautious Qianji Sha's organization was.
"I may not want the position of Elder, but I must take care of the matter of the birthday gifts."
"I will make up for all of Qianji Sha's losses in this regard. And I guarantee here that if the leader of Loulan causes trouble, it will never drag down the members of Qianji Sha."
Yan Niao frowned, and so did Yan Feng.
Ye Feng guessed and said, "The two of you, just say what you want. My granddaughter isn't that scary."
With Ye Feng's permission, Yan Niao naturally straightened his head and said, "May I ask, Little Elder, what gives you such confidence? The leader of Loulan isn't a lecherous man."
This statement was a bit too much.
Yan Feng held Yan Niao back and said, "Little Elder, Yan Niao's words may be a bit harsh, but it's the truth. The leader of Loulan is extremely powerful. As a woman, you don't have the strength to compete with him."
"Don't have the strength?"
Zhao Shuning put her left hand behind her back and stretched out her right hand.
A huge flame rose from her palm. The flame was dark red, and there was a crackling sound.
As the Red Lotus Karma Fire appeared, Zhao Shuning's spiritual power covered the entire hall. Even the space in the hall was distorted.
"An almost eighth - rank alchemist?"
Everyone was shocked. Their expressions were filled with nothing but shock.
Yan Niao's expression also changed. Although Yan Feng was shocked, there was no sign of it on his face.
"Or this?"
Zhao Shuning closed her eyes slightly. After a moment, a spiritual root appeared behind her. The spiritual root was green - purple, and its spiritual power was above the Eight - Phase level.
This time, even Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh.
The young girl was extremely young. Among the younger generation, hardly anyone could catch up with her.
Dual - cultivation of spiritual pharmacist and alchemist. Such talent. Maybe in the entire Jiuzhou Continent, there were only a handful of people who could achieve this.
Ye Feng's way of educating his children was different from others. Just look at Ye Qingluan and you would understand.
He was proud and sometimes as childish as a child. He rarely bowed to others. Although he loved his children, when it came to training them, he wasn't soft - hearted. He would throw them into the wolf's den and let them fend for themselves.
This was why when Zhao Shuning was facing the dissatisfaction of everyone, Ye Feng not only didn't stand up to say a word for her but also encouraged the two guardians to confront Zhao Shuning head - on.
Ye Feng's habit probably wouldn't change in his lifetime.
Zhao Shuning couldn't help but sigh. Although Ye Qingluan, who grew up in such an environment, was very tough, her childhood with such a father was a bit too "joyful".
"Little Elder?"
"Almost eighth - rank alchemist strength?"
"Eight - Phase spiritual pharmacist."
"With such strength, she can even compete with the left and right guardians."
"A heroic man's granddaughter. How could she be an ordinary person?"
"Our Qianji Sha has a worthy successor."
The wind changed in an instant.
Zhao Shuning just smiled without saying a word.
Yes, in this era when the beast world and the human world were divided, if you wanted others to shut up, you could only show your strength.
Trees like the Blood - Crying Flower, which were watered with blood, shouldn't exist no matter how precious they were.
There wouldn't be frequent wars between the beast world and the human world either.
Zhao Shuning retracted the divine fire in her hand. She looked at Yan Niao and Yan Feng.
She said, "With my strength, am I qualified to represent Qianji Sha and talk to the envoys about the birthday gifts?"
Yan Niao and Yan Feng knelt on one knee and then said, "We'll follow the Little Elder's arrangements."
Zhao Shuning smiled sweetly. She turned around and looked at everyone.
"Everyone, aren't you going to get up?"
The black - clothed men who were kneeling on the ground all smiled knowingly. Their eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
A rustling sound was heard.
Those powerful people who had opposed her all stood up.
"Since that's the case, what about the matter of handing over the power?"
Ye Feng seized the opportunity and quickly said.
Zhao Shuning stretched out her right hand and replied, "Stop."
"Little girl."
"Grandpa, I haven't agreed to take over Qianji Sha. Besides, if you hand over Qianji Sha to me so easily, I won't be able to manage such a huge organization well."
"You can't do it?"
"Don't try to provoke me. I haven't settled the score with you for watching the show earlier."
Ye Feng laughed heartily.
He said directly, "Let's talk about the matter of handing over the power after my birthday."
