"Loyalty."
Ye Xiaoxiao repeated the word softly, deeply scrutinizing Quan Yi's expression.
She suddenly withdrew her sympathy for Quan Yi.
"This word is small, but it encompasses everything.
Little friend, you are more greedy than I imagined."
Ye Xiaoxiao laughed silently, but, miraculously, Quan Yi's request made her feel at ease.
Because, as long as she knew the other party's intentions and needs, she could formulate a more advantageous strategy.
Quan Yi felt the smoothness of the communication, and was also impressed by Ye Xiaoxiao's wisdom.
And when dealing with smart people, a straightforward and sincere approach can sometimes have a greater effect.
Quan Yi's expression became solemn, and he decided to lay all his cards on the table honestly.
"I, Quan Yi, have a dream.
To realize this dream, I need more people's help and support. If the Ye family can assist, it will inevitably help me accelerate towards my unattainable dream."
As he spoke, Quan Yi's eyes flickered with thousands of lights, his most intense and sincere emotions revealed in his eyes.
Ye Lingling was aroused by Quan Yi's strong curiosity and couldn't help but ask: "What is your dream?"
Having witnessed Quan Yi easily solve the martial soul problem that had plagued the Ye family for generations, Quan Yi had almost become a god in Ye Lingling's mind.
But Quan Yi, who was like this, had an unattainable dream. What exactly was it that made him feel difficult?
Quan Yi smiled and shook his head: "If the secret is not kept, nothing can be accomplished.
Moreover, we have not yet officially formed any relationship, how can this matter be told to you."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes, but Ye Xiaoxiao was more satisfied with Quan Yi.
"Not bad, it is extremely rare for you to have such insights at this age.
Since you have said so much, then we should also make a statement."
Ye Xiaoxiao turned to look at her partner, Qi Feng, her eyes filled with a sense of determination.
And Qi Feng understood Ye Xiaoxiao's meaning from her eyes at a glance.
The two nodded at the same time, making a decision.
Qi Feng stood up from his seat, and his whole body burst out with a sharp aura, pointing directly at Quan Yi and Huo Wu in front of him.
"You helped us make up for the defects of the Nine Heart Begonia, but that alone is not enough."
Quan Yi noticed the burning fighting spirit in Qi Feng's eyes, and he asked with interest: "Then what else does the Ye family need?"
At this time, Ye Xiaoxiao released a gentle aura and joined Qi Feng in coercing Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
She got up and stood on the other side, and said: "A safe place that can stably pass on the Nine Heart Begonia.
If this sentence is reduced to one word, it is strength."
Ye Xiaoxiao imitated Quan Yi and stated her demands.
Her core demand was also very simple, which was inheritance and security.
And to ensure this, only one thing is needed, and that is strength.
Solving the problem of three generations living together, the effectiveness of the Nine Heart Begonia will undergo earth-shattering changes.
The objective factors limiting the Ye family will completely dissipate. If this matter is known to other forces, it will inevitably attract endless coveting.
In this situation, Ye Xiaoxiao not only wanted to ensure that the Quan and Huo families could protect them from intrusion, but more importantly, she wanted to test whether they had the ability to control the Ye family.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu slowly stood up, forming a confrontational situation with the two people on the opposite side.
Quan Yi tilted his head slightly, and asked innocently: "How does the Ye family head want to determine?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "It's very simple, the four of us will have a two-on-two duel.
As long as you two can defeat us two in battle, we will decide to join you.
However, conversely, if you lose, although we will not restrict Lingling, the entire Ye family will not completely join your forces.
Do you accept it?"
Quan Yi's smile grew even brighter, and he agreed without hesitation: "It's a deal!"
"Okay, then let's go outside the city now."
Ye Lingling had thousands of unwillingness in her heart, but she knew that this matter could not be stopped.
"Okay, then I want to go too, I want to be a witness to this duel."
Ye Xiaoxiao, who was also unable to change her daughter's will, showed a gratified smile and agreed to the request.
As night deepened, five soul masters, relying on their excellent foot strength, quickly appeared in a gloomy wilderness outside the city.
Inside the wilderness, four duelists faced each other brightly.
Ye Lingling, knowing that her cultivation was low, very consciously retreated to the outside of the wilderness.
Her eyes reflected a faint fluorescent light under the illumination of the night sky, but she had an expression of not being able to see clearly, squinting her eyes and concentrating on the front.
"Why duel in such a deep night?"
She couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and doubtful in her heart.
However, the four people located in the center of the wilderness had already prepared for battle.
Quan Yi first looked at the closed and dim jungle environment around him, and had a faint guess in his heart.
Just as Quan Yi was about to think further, Qi Feng interrupted him: "The battle rules are the same as the duel rules of the Soul Arena.
One side completely loses the ability to fight, which is considered a defeat.
Of course, no fatal or directly lethal moves can be made during the duel.
If you understand, then we will start the duel immediately."
When it came to the duel, Qi Feng became the dominant party, and he used hasty words to invisibly force Quan Yi and Huo Wu to start the duel as soon as possible.
Moreover, the four of them did not have any communication during the movement.
From this point of view, if they didn't want to deliberately lose to Quan Yi and Huo Wu, then they obviously had great trust and tacit understanding with each other.
However, when it comes to trust and tacit understanding, Quan Yi and Huo Wu are not afraid of anyone.
The two answered in unison: "Understood, let the competition begin!"
As soon as the words fell, a light cyan sword light flashed in Qi Feng's hand, and his figure was also like a ghost, approaching Quan Yi at a very high speed.
Quan Yi's pupils shrank, and his sharp eyes could easily lock on Qi Feng's offensive even at night.
Qi Feng's thin body burst out with amazing speed.
Coupled with his extremely fast approaching movement, the light cyan long sword hidden in the night was faster than the speed of the surprise attack.
In Quan Yi's eyes, this sword was simple and unpretentious, and there were no patterns on the sword body or hilt. The only thing worth mentioning was that the overall sword body was light cyan.
This sword, named the Cyan Steel Sword, is Qi Feng's martial soul.
This sword looks so ordinary, but only the sword's edge releases an unignorable edge.
