Ye Xuan is pressured to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. While initially hesitant, he is swayed by the promise of immense authority and the prospect of numerous beauties vying for his attention. Despite Qin Yitian's disdain, Ye Xuan ultimately accepts the responsibility, declaring he will not shirk his duty to lead the martial arts world.

Here, there should be applause and acclaim.

But in reality, there’s nothing.

There are only startled and strange looks.

Ye Xuan frowned, expressing his displeasure: "Why are you all looking at me like that? Do you think I, Ye, would be a lecher? I, a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect, would be such a shameless and vulgar person?"

Everyone was stunned, almost nodding in agreement.

Fortunately, everyone managed to control their subconscious reactions, avoiding unnecessary awkwardness.

"Xuan is truly a magnificent man. As your mentor’s wife, I am gratified, proud!" Gu Qiaolan praised Ye Xuan brainlessly.

Hao Datong also woke up, delighted and quickly bowed to Ye Xuan, filled with joy and seriousness: "Hao Datong from Zhanfeng Pavilion, greets the Alliance Hierarch, and in the future, we hope the Hierarch can look after us!"

Following Hao Datong, Gu Qiaolan and others also ceremoniously paid respects to Ye Xuan, creating an atmosphere akin to an emperor’s coronation.

Ye Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help them up: "Esteemed elders, please stand, I’ve said it before, this is my duty, why make such a fuss?"

Hao Datong smiled: "Brother Ye Xuan is unpretentious, but we must follow the rules. Since ancient times, the Alliance Hierarch is above all; how can we not pay respects to the Hierarch?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan instantly believed what Hao Datong and the others said earlier.

If even the three sect leaders of the martial arts world showed such respect and humility, the matter of being able to choose from the beauties of the martial arts world must be true!

For a moment, Ye Xuan felt a surge of righteousness and believed he needed to protect this martial arts world as it is the result of countless ancestors’ hard work, isn’t it?

Upon realization, Ye Xuan smiled amiably: "Outside, let it be, but today there’s no one else present, esteemed elders should be more natural. In front of you, I’m always just a junior."

Such humility, such courtesy!

Hao Datong and the others, hearing Ye Xuan’s words, felt more and more approval for him, each showing a smile: "Good, good! Since the Hierarch says so, we will obey rather than show respect!"

Everyone smiled and returned to their seats, continuing to drink tea.

This tea is really good, truly deserving the name of fine tea!

Gu Qiaolan gave Ye Xuan a deep look, as if suddenly remembering something, turned to Baili Ku and said: "Brother Baili, you mentioned earlier the daughter of the Kongshan Sect Leader, Miss Shu, is eighteen, unmarried, and an exceptional beauty. Is it true?"

Baili Ku replied sternly: "You’ve known me for so many years, have I ever lied?"

"That’s not what I meant at all!" Gu Qiaolan laughed repeatedly: "I just thought, now that Xuan is the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, if Miss Shu truly is a good girl, we could discuss with the Kongshan Sect Leader about letting her be Xuan’s maid, which wouldn’t be a bad arrangement."

Baili Ku raised an eyebrow, secretly praising: Still, Sect Leader Gu knows how to handle things.

If not for Gu Qiaolan’s reminder, Baili Ku would have forgotten why Ye Xuan accepted the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

Baili Ku suddenly had an epiphany and nodded promptly: "Sect Leader Gu is extremely correct, considering the Hierarch’s character, he certainly wouldn’t mistreat Miss Shu. Furthermore, Kongshan Sect has always acted with righteousness and principles, with significant heritage. Now, with the rarity of top-notch sects in the martial arts world, if Miss Shu follows the Hierarch, Kongshan Sect can naturally become a strong sect, which is beneficial to the martial arts world!"

Baili Xiao glared and said: "Brother, why are you hesitating? Quickly contact the Kongshan Sect and have them send Miss Shu to the Hierarch!"

Baili Ku suddenly realized and was about to proceed.

"Hold on, elders!" Seeing this, Ye Xuan quickly spoke up.

Everyone was startled and looked at Ye Xuan in confusion, as if thinking, really, you’re still pretending to be a gentleman? We’re not fools, wouldn’t we know what you’re thinking?

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Xuan shook his head and spoke earnestly: "Elders, I appreciate your kindness, but I didn’t accept this role as Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch for such things. If I did, what difference would I be from a petty person?"

Their looks became even stranger.

Especially Qin Yitian, who looked at Ye Xuan with clear sarcasm and derision, thinking, big guy, if you’re not petty, then who is in this world?

Ye Xuan didn’t mind, stating righteously: "As for that Miss Shu, she sounds like a nice girl, so let’s not send her my way to be spoiled, lest she comes, and I refuse, leaving her heartbroken."

Everyone looked around, suddenly realizing that Ye Xuan truly had no interest in Miss Shu.

This shouldn’t be right.

Ye Xuan clearly agreed because he heard about the beauties and many privileges of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, so how did he suddenly seem like a different person?

Gu Qiaolan, the most astute, immediately picked up on Ye Xuan’s thoughts and tentatively inquired: "Since Xuan has no intention, we won’t force it. But Xuan, tell your mentor’s wife, is there anyone in the martial arts world that you fancy?"

Everyone was enlightened.

Ye Xuan must have his eye on someone; that must be why he agreed!

If it’s not Miss Shu, then it must be someone else!

Upon hearing Gu Qiaolan’s question, Ye Xuan was secretly delighted: It seems only Mentor’s wife understands him.

But Ye Xuan remained reserved.

"Actually, I genuinely don’t have anyone in mind, I just wanted to be a good person, be a hero once." Ye Xuan said while glancing at Qin Yitian with some bashfulness.

Qin Yitian: "..."

Damn it...

At this moment, even the well-read and courteous Qin Yitian wanted to curse, Ye Xuan, enough, stop messing with me, will you?

Gu Qiaolan and others noticing Ye Xuan’s glance were momentarily stunned, then understood the meaning.

It was both expected and unexpected.

Looking across the martial arts world, other than Qin Yitian, this unique talent with great restraint and mysterious elegance, who else could catch Ye Xuan’s eye?

But everyone knew, Qin Yitian’s face is covered with a white veil, having once sworn firmly that she would only uncover her veil for her true love, who remains a mystery.

This indeed makes things difficult.

Still, it doesn’t matter because Gu Qiaolan treats Ye Xuan like her own son.

"Xuan, mentor’s wife understands your intention, give her a little time, is that acceptable?" Gu Qiaolan said softly, looking deeply at Qin Yitian.

Qin Yitian had a face of frustration, knowing she was about to face a collapsing... push for marriage.

What’s even more galling is...

Ye Xuan seemed indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him!

Ye Xuan appeared clueless: "Mentor’s wife, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it doesn’t matter. You’re my mentor’s wife, I’ll follow whatever you arrange."
