On the ground, Liu Dali and Jiang Xukong stood up. Both of them looked very embarrassed.
They had been so presumptuous to Ye Qing before, but their lives were saved by Ye Qing.
Liu Dali smiled awkwardly, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said slowly, "Mr. Ye, please forgive us for offending you just now. We are all brothers from the Hao Yue Empire, so we should take care of each other!"
Jiang Xukong and Liu Dali were obviously fence-sitters. After knowing how powerful Ye Qing was, they all came to flatter him.
Ye Qing maintained his inner calmness. In fact, he didn't want to pay attention to them at all.
He looked at Dongfang Yue and Liu Ruolan beside him with a bright smile on his face. Then he moved and rushed into the sky with the two beauties, ignoring Liu Dali and Jiang Xukong.
Their faces turned even uglier. The two of them weren't the only ones present. Many other geniuses from the Haoyue Empire were watching as well. Ye Qing's disregard for them was undoubtedly a humiliation to them.
"Brat, it's just that your Divine Soul is a little stronger. What's there to be proud of!" Liu Dali cursed.
"That's right, Brother Dali. We don't need to lower ourselves to his level. When he's in danger, even if he kneels down and begs us, we don't need to pay attention to him!"
Jiang Xukong sneered and took the lead, preparing to explore the Thousand Country Battlefield.
Liu Dali nodded and agreed. In his opinion, Ye Qing was not powerful at all. It was just that his Divine Soul was strong, so he didn't need to worry about him at all.
Unless he met someone like Zhou Mengjiu, who had mastered the Drunken Sleep Killing Skill, the Divine Soul was more important.
"Mr. Ye, wait!"
"Mr. Ye, can you take us with you?
We're willing to go with you! "
Just as Ye Qing set off with the two beauties, there was a noise from the ground.
It turned out that those geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire didn't want to continue following Liu Dali and Jiang Xukong, but wanted to team up with Ye Qing.
In the course of the battle just now, the heaven-defying strength that Ye Qing displayed was obvious to all!
In comparison, Liu Dali and Jiang Xukong were useless.
The geniuses of the Hao Yue Empire were naturally willing to follow the strong. Hence, they spoke their minds.
Out of the sixty or so sky-prides present, more than fifty of them had spoken. Clearly, in their hearts, Ye Qing already held a high position.
Previously, when they were affected by the Drunken Life Killing Technique, they fell into a deep sleep and did not know what had happened.
But after the incident, they all understood that it was all thanks to Ye Qing that they were still alive.
"Hmm, interesting!"
Ye Qing was about to leave, but he stopped when he heard the noise coming from the ground. He turned around and rushed into the crowd.
"You want to join my team? No problem."
Ye Qing grinned, with a harmless look, showing extreme sincerity.
"Brothers, you're all from the Hao Yue Empire. Strictly speaking, you're my fellow countrymen. It's great that you're willing to follow me."
Ye Qing's face was full of smiles. He paused and continued, "Of course, as for the two experts, Dali and Xukong, you can move freely. There's no need to follow me."
Ye Qing maintained a smile from beginning to end, looking calm and collected. He had the demeanor of a master and had self-restraint.
The geniuses of the Hao Yue Empire who were present were all moved, and they became even more determined to follow Ye Qing. Without a doubt, with a heaven-defying leader like Ye Qing by their side, they would definitely not be at a disadvantage, and they might even obtain many opportunities and benefits!
"Big Brother Ye, please accept me. I'm willing to follow you. I won't refuse even if it's a mountain of swords or a sea of flames!"
"Big Brother Ye, I want to follow you too!"
"Big Brother Ye, my strength is weak, but my admiration for you is like a torrential river, endless and unending!"
A group of geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire knelt down and begged to follow Ye Qing.
They clearly knew how important it was to have a powerful leader to lead them in the Thousand Kingdom Battlefield that was fraught with danger!
"Alright, we're all brothers. There's no need to be so polite. Get up."
Ye Qing waved his hand and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. His eyes were filled with an unfathomable aura. At first glance, one could tell that he had the demeanor of a peerless genius. This caused the geniuses present to be even more convinced.
"Brothers, come with me!
I'll bring you to show off and soar! "Ye Qing's face was full of smiles. As he spoke, he took two steps forward.
Then, Ye Qing suddenly stopped and touched his head. He seemed to have thought of something. Shortly after, he turned around and said with a smile, "Oh right, there's one more thing that I need to clarify with everyone."
Ye Qing's face revealed a trace of embarrassment. It seemed like it was a very important matter and he was thinking about how to express it.
"Brother Ye, feel free to state your request. We'll definitely obey your orders!"
"That's right, Brother Ye. Just tell us what you need!"
The geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire spoke one after another. They were also very anxious and did not know what other requests Ye Qing had.
"Actually, it's nothing much. Logically speaking, we're all brothers and should not be separated. However, in the process of training in the Thousand Kingdom Battlefield, everyone has the potential to contribute to the team. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, I suggest that all the tokens be handed over to me for safekeeping!"
Ye Qing's lips curled up slightly. "Brothers, you don't have to worry. I'm just helping to safekeep them. In the future, in the Thousand Kingdom Battlefield, we'll have many opportunities to obtain tokens. I guarantee that it'll be absolutely fair. According to everyone's contributions, I'll be the one to distribute the tokens."
After hearing Ye Qing's words, everyone understood that for the sake of the team's unity, the tokens would be handed over to him for safekeeping.
In that case, it would indeed enhance the team's cohesion and combat power. However, the only flaw was that if Ye Qing did not distribute the tokens after taking them, they would have no choice!
Could it be that he could start a war with Ye Qing?
They were obviously no match for Ye Qing.
"This …"
"Young Master Ye, this is a serious matter. We'd like to discuss it first!"
"That's right. We can't rush this matter."
Some of the geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire had doubts in their hearts and did not dare to hand over the tokens rashly.
To be honest, if Ye Qing were to run away after taking the tokens, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
When Ye Qing saw this, he sneered in his heart. Soon after, he put on a righteous look and said loudly, "Brothers, what kind of person do you think I, Ye Qing, am?
In any case, I, Ye Qing, am a reputable prodigy. Could it be that I would covet your tokens?
If you're not willing, then forget it. We'll all go our separate ways! "
When Ye Qing said these impassioned words, the geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire were stunned.
Without waiting for them to speak, Ye Qing continued, "What's the most important thing in a team?
Little Miss, you've been looking at me with such sincerity. I'm sure you know!
Come, tell me loudly! "
As Ye Qing spoke, his eyes looked towards a female cultivator in the crowd.
That girl was slightly stunned. Then, under Ye Qing's encouraging gaze, she gained courage and immediately said loudly, "It's trust!"
Ye Qing nodded and smiled. Using the tone of an elder, he said slowly, "That's right. Little Miss is right. It's trust!
If a team doesn't have trust, how can they cause trouble together?
If you don't trust me, then don't follow me! "
Ye Qing's eyes were slightly moist and he had a pained look on his face. He was just like a movie king. He made it seem as if he was very sad because he was not trusted.
The geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire were all moved by Ye Qing. They trusted Ye Qing without reservation and handed over their tokens one after another!
"That's right. We're all brothers. We must maintain enough trust in each other in a team!"
"Without trust, we can't do great things. Everyone, don't worry. Brother Ye is definitely a good leader. He won't deceive us!"
The geniuses from the Hao Yue Empire moved one after another. They had 100% trust in Ye Qing. They felt that it was a blessing that they could follow Ye Qing!
In an instant, Ye Qing became the idol in everyone's hearts. Not only was he powerful, but his character was also indisputable.
Ye Qing was elated. He accepted more than 60 tokens. Then, without another word, he grabbed Dongfang Yue and Liu Ruolan's small hands and ran away at an unimaginable speed!
The group of geniuses was dumbfounded. They were all stunned and petrified on the spot!
