Nicholas was stunned for a moment and did not say anything. Firstly, he did not know what the Demacian Empire was.
Previously, he had heard that Ye Qing had used some tricks to get the big shots of the Sky Feather Holy Sect, Bao Jianzi and Galen, to join the Demacian Empire.
It seemed that the Demacian Empire was quite powerful. However, in the Eastern Wilderness Region, those empires were generally looked down upon.
Even if it was a high-class empire, it was still an empire. It could not be compared to those sects with deep foundations in the Eastern Wilderness Region!
"Nicholas, have you thought it through? I'll give you three seconds. If you are not willing, I'll change my request. It's okay, you can think about it slowly."
Ye Qing smiled. His smile was like a devil's, extremely terrifying.
Nicholas trembled. Seeing Ye Qing's malicious eyes, he knew what to do.
No matter what the Demacian Empire was, as long as he joined the empire, he just needed to agree verbally. He did not need to do anything. Wasn't that simple?
It was better than fulfilling Ye Qing's strange requests!
"I agree!
I'm willing!
I can join the Demacian Empire! "
Nicholas hurriedly said, expressing his attitude.
Ye Qing smiled. "Very good. Since you have joined the Demacian Empire, you have to obey my orders in the future. Do you understand?
I am the Emperor of the Demacian Empire! "
When Ye Qing finished speaking, Nicholas' face darkened. He felt that he had been tricked.
Just now, he only needed to fulfill one of Ye Qing's requests. After joining the Demacian Empire, he still had to obey Ye Qing's orders. Wouldn't that mean that he would lose his freedom in the future?
"This … This isn't very good, right?"
Nicholas was stunned. He was a little scared. He was afraid that Ye Qing would ask him to do something embarrassing in the future.
"What's not good about it?
Nicholas, your talent in runes is too poor. You should feel honored that I am willing to take you in! "Ye Qing said seriously.
All the onlookers raised their eyebrows, and the corners of their mouths twitched. Damn it, Nicholas' talent in runes was too poor?
If that was the case, then in the entire Higashiba Seimune, there wouldn't be many people with good talent in runes!
"Ye Qing, you won't make me do anything unreasonable in the future, right?" Nicholas asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, I, Ye Qing, am not that kind of person. Joining the Demacian Empire will not only bring you no harm, you will also receive all kinds of benefits!
Your attainment in runes is too low. If I'm in a good mood, I might be willing to give you some pointers. Perhaps I can help you improve. "
As Ye Qing spoke, he had a carefree expression on his face. Nicholas, on the other hand, could no longer keep his cool.
With a plop, Nicholas knelt down without a second word and hurriedly said, "Master, please accept a bow from your disciple!"
Nicholas was quite tactful. He knew that he might be able to receive pointers from Ye Qing in the future, so he knelt down without any hesitation.
He had lost to Ye Qing. Although he was ashamed of it, he had a deep understanding of Ye Qing's strength.
If he was lucky enough to receive pointers from Ye Qing, then his attainment in runes would have a greater chance of improving in the future!
Nicholas wasn't someone who liked to hold grudges, and he didn't care about trifles. He had just lost to Ye Qing, and in the blink of an eye, he wanted to acknowledge Ye Qing as his master.
"Get up, get up first."
Ye Qing's face was full of smiles as he walked forward and helped Nicholas up.
Nicholas was overjoyed. Looking at Ye Qing's performance, it meant that he had agreed to accept him as his disciple!
"Master, your disciple is willing to serve by your side. As long as I can receive some pointers from you, it would be the fortune of three lifetimes!" Nicholas began to flatter Ye Qing.
"Eh?
Who said that I agreed to accept you as my disciple?
Nicholas, I already said that your talent is too poor. If you want to become my disciple, you are not qualified!
Moreover, I, Ye Qing, have always only accepted female disciples. I don't have the habit of accepting male disciples. "
Ye Qing said calmly. Nicholas' face was full of dejection as he let out a long sigh.
"Nicholas, don't worry. Since you are a person of our Demacian Empire, if there is a chance in the future, I might give you some pointers." Ye Qing said again.
Nicholas nodded. There was no other way. The other party wasn't willing to accept him as a disciple and didn't fancy his talent. Could he still pester him?
He only hoped that Ye Qing would keep his word and give him pointers when he had the time in the future.
"Thank you, Brother Ye!"
Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief. He had escaped a disaster. As for the future of the Demacian Empire, he didn't have to worry about it for the time being.
"Alright, Nicholas. Since you have joined our Demacian Empire, I will give you a name. From now on, you will be called Nicholas Zhao Si. Do you understand?"
Ye Qing had a dignified look. Nicholas didn't dare to disobey. Fortunately, it was just adding a few words behind his name. It wasn't a big deal.
"Thank you, Brother Ye, for giving me a name. From now on, I will be Nicholas Zhao Si!
If Brother Ye has any errands, feel free to call me! "
Nicholas was very obedient. In his heart, he had already developed a sense of admiration for Ye Qing.
At such a young age, he was able to create a powerful nine-star rune, the Blood Shedding Curse. His talent in runes was definitely not a joke!
"Nicholas Zhao Si, I heard that you can dance. If there is a chance in the future, let's compare notes on the Ghost Walk."
Ye Qing's face was full of ridicule. Nicholas Zhao Si's face was full of confusion. What Ghost Walk? He expressed that he didn't understand at all.
"Brother Ye, please don't joke around. If there's nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Nicholas blushed with shame. He felt that if he continued to stay by Ye Qing's side, he would be tricked sooner or later. Thus, it was better for him to slip away.
Ye Qing smiled as he watched Nicholas Zhao Si leave. He was secretly pleased.
After obtaining a rune expert, the Demacian Empire's strength had become even stronger.
He was very clear about the importance of building a force. If he wanted to rescue Ye Qingcang from the Dark Mantle Main Hall, it would definitely not be enough to rely on himself.
The Demacian Empire was Ye Qing's foundation. It had to be developed and strengthened.
On the practice field of the True Disciple Peak, everyone's eyes were filled with shock. They had personally witnessed Ye Qing's strength. His attainments in runes could be said to be unparalleled.
Many of the older generation rune masters felt ashamed. They didn't dare to call themselves rune masters in front of Ye Qing.
The scene fell into silence. As the cold wind blew, the true disciples present gradually dispersed.
Along the way, they were still discussing the battle between Ye Qing and Nicholas. It was simply too exciting.
Hak Hyuk walked over with a gentle smile on his face. He slowly said, "Ye Qing, your talent is indeed very strong. Now, you are already the Holy Son of Higashiba Seimune. Work hard. In two months, I have a great opportunity for you!"
Hak Hyuk spoke highly of Ye Qing and even revealed a piece of information.
Ye Qing started chatting with Hak Hyuk. According to Hak Hyuk, in two months, the Holy Son of Higashiba Seimune would participate in a trial competition!
Whoever won the trial competition would become the first Holy Son of Higashiba Seimune!
In Higashiba Seimune, a trial competition for the Holy Son was held every year. The title of the first Holy Son would change from time to time.
To be able to become the Holy Son of Higashiba Seimune, there were no weaklings. They were all top-notch geniuses.
The competition between them was especially intense. Every year, for the title of the first Holy Son, they would fight during the trial competition.
"The Holy Son trial competition. Not bad, not bad. It just so happens that I want to compete for the title of the first Holy Son!" Ye Qing said with a smile.
Hak Hyuk was shocked, but he immediately laughed. "Young man, you are very ambitious. However, you must not let your guard down and look down on the heroes of the world!
The Holy Son trial competition is not that easy. In the Divine Temple, there are the Four Heroes of the Divine Temple. They are the four most outstanding geniuses of the Divine Temple. The title of the first Holy Son every year is actually given to the Four Heroes. "
