Ye Qing expressed his goodwill to the crowd, wanting them to board the ship together.
However, his goodwill was not understood by the crowd.
With a smile on his face, Ye Qing turned around, his back facing the crowd. With a wave of his hand, he steered the Noah's Ark and sailed on the Purple Misty Sea.
"Everyone, since you don't believe me, then I think it's necessary to make you believe me!
So, next, I will show you the ability of the Noah's Ark! "
As Ye Qing spoke, he steered the Noah's Ark in circles on the Purple Misty Sea. He did not go far at all.
Ye Qing's actions shocked the crowd. They originally thought that Ye Qing would leave, but now it seemed that Ye Qing really wanted to help others. Therefore, he was going in circles on the Purple Misty Sea to prove the sturdiness and stability of the Noah's Ark.
For a moment, the atmosphere near the Purple Misty Sea ferry was quiet. A gentle breeze blew and no one spoke. The scene was terrifyingly quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on the large ship on the Purple Misty Sea!
Ye Qing had a compassionate look on his face. He steered the Noah's Ark in circles for ten minutes. The speed of his steerage was very fast, like a gust of wind.
Moreover, the Noah's Ark was not affected at all and could still maintain its speed. The strong corrosiveness of the Purple Misty Sea did not seem to exist to the Noah's Ark at all.
Gradually, Ye Qing gained the trust of the crowd. Without a doubt, Ye Qing used his actions to prove his determination.
Coupled with the sincere expression on Ye Qing's face, the crowd no longer hesitated or doubted him. They basically recognized Ye Qing as a great philanthropist who was willing to help others!
"Oh my god, so Young Master Ye is really a good person!"
"I'm sorry, we wronged you before. Young Master Ye, come back quickly. I want to take the ship out to sea!"
"Young Master Ye, I apologize to you. Please come back quickly. If you delay any longer, it will be too late to go out to sea."
Near the port of the Purple Mist Sea, a clamorous discussion erupted. At this moment, everyone's mentality had basically changed. They could not wait to board the ship.
Ye Qing stood at the bow of the ship and faced the people near the ferry. He maintained a compassionate expression and said slowly, "Alas, if everyone had believed me earlier, we wouldn't have wasted time!"
Everyone present deeply agreed and expressed their regret. They shouldn't have doubted Ye Qing.
However, Young Noble Ju, Young Noble Ma, and Abbot Xuanzhi didn't agree. They didn't think that Ye Qing wanted to help them.
It was just that they couldn't see anything wrong at the moment. They just felt that something was wrong in their hearts. As for what exactly was wrong, they couldn't tell.
In the crowd, Liu Dali and Jiang Xukong both had solemn expressions. Others believed in Ye Qing, but as victims who had been cheated many times, they didn't dare to believe in Ye Qing so easily. Instead, they maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
With a whoosh, Ye Qing suddenly sped up and drove Noah's Ark to the ferry. He placed Noah's Ark in front of the people. As long as they took a step, they could basically board the ship.
There were already many onlookers who couldn't bear it anymore. Their bodies flashed as they wanted to board the ship.
All of a sudden, Ye Qing waved his hand and released a powerful essence energy, forming a barrier. The Iron Wall Copper Wall Array from before had yet to disappear.
Under the protection of the formation, people couldn't easily board the ship.
In short, if they wanted to board the ship, they had to get Ye Qing's permission.
"Everyone, just now, I wanted to let you board the ship for free and bring you to the Sacred Medicine Island. However, your actions have deeply hurt my young heart. Therefore, I've decided to charge a fee," Ye Qing said unhurriedly.
The corners of the people's mouths twitched as they secretly regretted it. If they had boarded the ship earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. Why didn't they believe in Ye Qing earlier?
"Charge a fee?
Young Master Ye, how much do you want to charge? "a young prodigy asked.
Ye Qing grinned, with a harmless smile on his face, incomparably pure, and looked like a good old man: "Well, between us brothers, talking about money hurts our feelings. You don't have to give me money, just give me some tokens."
As Ye Qing spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked for tokens from the prodigies present.
The prodigies' mouths twitched. Talking about money hurts their relationship?
One had to know that tokens were extremely important in the Thousand Kingdom Battlefield. Wasn't that just money?
"Young Master Ye, just name a price. How many tokens do you want?
As long as the price is right, I have no problem with it! "the young prodigy from before said.
At that moment, everyone finally saw Ye Qing's true colors. So, he wanted to collect money!
However, Ye Qing's actions didn't cause any disgust. Instead, some of the people who were still doubtful before were completely relieved.
They didn't believe that Ye Qing was just being helpful. They thought that he had some ulterior motive.
But now it seems that Ye Qing's behavior is just to make money. It makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, who would be foolish enough to help others and not want some benefits?
In the cruel world of martial arts, there was no such thing as "I do for everyone, and everyone does for me".
Ye Qing's lips curled into a sly smile as he said slowly, "Not much, not much. Just give me ten tokens each. I guarantee that I'll bring you to the Sacred Medicine Island!"
Ye Qing patted his chest as if he was making a solemn vow.
The corners of the prodigies' mouths twitched. Ten tokens wasn't a small number. Some prodigies only had a dozen tokens on them.
Many of them didn't even have ten tokens.
After Ye Qing named his price, everyone only hesitated for a moment. Then, they all handed over their tokens and boarded the ship.
To them, the Sacred Medicine Island was too tempting. Paying ten tokens was already a good deal.
Ten tokens would allow them to board the Sacred Medicine Island. If they were lucky, they could easily obtain some Sacred medicine on the Sacred Medicine Island. That would be worth it.
Therefore, the prodigies didn't think for too long. First of all, Noah's Ark was safe. There shouldn't be any problems.
Also, Ye Qing's motive and goal were very simple. He just wanted money. There shouldn't be any other schemes.
After thinking it through, more than 90% of the prodigies handed over their tokens and boarded the ship.
Noah's Ark was very big. It could accommodate more than 10,000 prodigies. It wouldn't be crowded at all.
Some prodigies who didn't have enough tokens took out other treasures to exchange for something of equal value. Finally, they boarded the ship.
Ye Qing was grinning from ear to ear as he received a large number of tokens. His heart was simply blooming with joy. With a cursory glance, he now had 50,000 tokens on him, which could be called heaven-defying.
His ranking on the Thousand Countries Prodigy Roll shot up. In an instant, he had reached the second place.
Only a prodigy called Prince Yulong was ranked above Ye Qing. He was ranked first on the Prodigy Roll and had more tokens than Ye Qing.
After receiving a large number of tokens, Noah's Ark was ready to depart.
There were still some people standing at the ferry, watching. They didn't have enough tokens and didn't have enough treasures on them. They couldn't afford to pay.
They had no choice but to watch others board the ship and lose the chance to go to the Sacred Medicine Island.
Some of the girls even shed tears of regret. They regretted not trusting Ye Qing earlier. If they had, they could have boarded the ship earlier. They wouldn't have had to pay any fees.
Ye Qing looked down and smiled. "Little cuties, it's okay if you don't have enough money. Give me all your tokens, and you can board the ship."
Ye Qing was being lenient. The main reason was that there were more beautiful girls present. So what if they didn't have enough tokens?
Looks were justice!
Looks could be used as tokens!
