Ye Xuan was confirmed as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, leading to a display of respect from the sect leaders. While Ye Xuan initially believed he would have access to beauties, he rejected the idea of marrying Miss Shu, claiming he wasn't interested. However, his glance towards Qin Yitian suggested a deeper interest, prompting Gu Qiaolan to pledge her help in arranging a marriage, much to Qin Yitian's dismay.

Oh my!

Qin Yitian’s beautiful eyes widened, Ye Xuan you...you you you!

"Good, good!" Gu Qiaolan laughed, "I, as your master’s wife, will not let you down!"

Ye Xuan nodded seriously, "I believe in you, master’s wife, you’re like my own mom!"

Gu Qiaolan was laughing boundlessly.

Meanwhile, Hao Datong, upon seeing this scene, was afraid Ye Xuan and Gu Qiaolan would get tangled up again, hurriedly spoke: "Alliance Hierarch, now that you’ve taken the position, there’s something we should hand over to you."

Ye Xuan: "What is it?"

Hao Datong smiled and retrieved an old booklet from his bosom, saying solemnly: "This is the Alliance Leader Manual, only former Martial Arts Alliance Hierarchs have the authority to read it!"

"Alliance Leader Manual?"

Hearing these completely unfamiliar four words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be surprised, his eyes turning toward the old yellow booklet in Hao Datong’s hands.

It was a very ordinary booklet, about as thick as an elementary school textbook, no cover, only the words ’Alliance Leader Manual’ were faintly visible, looking ancient and worn, evidently weathered through many years.

Often, the less conspicuous booklets in martial arts TV dramas or novels contain extraordinary contents, perhaps enough martial arts secrets to elevate a common person to the status of a Dragon.

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up, suddenly interested: "This Alliance Leader Manual, only former Martial Arts Alliance Hierarchs can read it, could there be some treasures inside?"

"That, none of us know. Only the former Martial Arts Alliance Hierarchs know what’s inside." Hao Datong chuckled, "We recovered it when we raided the Zhao Family’s base, since the Martial Arts has a new Hierarch, it’s only natural that this manual should be handed over to you."

As he spoke, Hao Datong respectfully presented the booklet with both hands.

Sacred, solemn, it seemed as if the small booklet were a piece of ceramic, a little carelessness could cause it to fall and shatter into pieces.

Ye Xuan was speechless, these old guys just love putting on a show.

Sneering, Ye Xuan casually took the Alliance Leader Manual, intending to open it immediately to satisfy his curiosity.

"Don’t!"

Hao Datong and the others’ expressions changed drastically, hurriedly stopping him: "Alliance Hierarch, only the current Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch is eligible to read this manual, we’re all present right now, you absolutely cannot open it!"

Ye Xuan was speechless: "You won’t peek, I trust you."

"That still won’t do!" The others obstinately said: "This is a serious matter, in the thousand years of Martial Arts history, no Hierarch has ever read the manual in public, don’t break tradition."

"Alright then."

Seeing the extremely tense expressions on their faces, Ye Xuan reluctantly decided to put away the manual and suppress his curiosity for the time being.

Only then did everyone sigh with relief, feeling a weight lifted off their shoulders.

With a glance, Ye Xuan noticed it was nearly evening, so he spoke: "It’s getting late, do any of you seniors have any other matters?"

They exchanged glances among themselves, seeming to verify whether there were any other matters.

Then, Hao Datong spoke with a smile: "There are no other matters, only that now you are the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, if you have time, it’s best to choose a day to invite the martial heroes to gather, make an official announcement, which is a customary practice."

"What custom?" Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow: "In plain terms, it’s just paying for everyone to have a meal, right?"

Everyone gave a forced smile: "Saying it like that might not be wrong."

"Not doing it." Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively, looking impatient: "Before I agreed to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, you all said it basically didn’t require me to do anything, now you’re asking me to work right away, not agreeing!"

Everyone: "..."

Man, it’s just a meal, do you have to be... this pretentious?

But what can be done, after all, he is Ye Xuan.

The group could only accept, smiling helplessly: "If the Alliance Hierarch doesn’t want to, it’s not an important matter, then we can announce the joyful news to the Martial Arts as well."

"That’s more like it." Ye Xuan finally revealed a smile on his face, then picked up the teapot: "Come, let’s continue drinking tea... Oh no, out of water!"

Everyone: "..."

If you want us to leave, just say it, hypocrite!

"No need to boil more water, it’s getting late and we have to hurry back to handle various Martial Arts affairs, we’ll be taking our leave now!" They hurriedly said.

"Leaving in such a hurry? Oh dear, I didn’t get to entertain you all properly...well, let’s get together another day!" Ye Xuan feigned reluctance, yet not in the least wanting to make things difficult for them.

Everyone smiled, leaving Ye Xuan’s home feeling unspoken yet mutual understanding.

Upon stepping out of the villa, there was a sense of reflection among them, wondering whether... advocating Ye Xuan as the new Martial Arts Hierarch was genuinely for the good of the Martial Arts, or a calamity upon it.

This lad is truly the pretender of a thousand ages!!

However, the decision was made, since it’s already done, there was no point in overthinking. They shook their heads, pretending Ye Xuan was a gentleman like Qin Wentian, and then scattered in different directions.

Though Qin Yitian planned to settle for a long time in the East Sea and wasn’t planning to return to the Zhengyang Sect anytime soon, she had to observe the basic courtesy of seeing off and welcoming.

After all, Gu Qiaolan was the mentor who raised her and taught her martial arts, even though her mentor had a ’new love’ now, she was still her mentor.

At this time, the master and disciple pair were on the road to the station.

Qin Yitian was skillfully driving the car, seemingly having completely adapted to mundane life in less than half a month.

Gu Qiaolan sat in the passenger seat, smiling, her eyes observing Qin Yitian for a long time.

She realized, in order to better adapt to the world of ordinary people, Qin Yitian no longer wore the heavy ancient attire, instead, a modern dress accentuated her graceful figure, even though the veil on her face was somewhat of a spoiler, she remained a splendidly beautiful woman of all ages.

"Not bad, not bad."

Gu Qiaolan became more satisfied the more she looked, nodding incessantly, as if viewing her future daughter-in-law.

Qin Yitian felt uneasy under such a gaze, promptly spoke: "Master, if you’re thinking of pairing me with Ye Xuan, I advise you to give up early, I won’t settle."

"Silly girl, how is it settling? What kind of talent is Ye Xuan? An unmatched prodigy of a thousand ages, how can he not be worthy of you?" Gu Qiaolan said.

Qin Yitian sighed: "There is no distinction of nobility among people, in this world, nobody’s unworthy of another, it’s just a matter of liking or not liking. I already have someone I care about, I hope Master won’t force me."

"This ’someone you care about’ is making you lose your mind!" Gu Qiaolan said exasperatedly: "You’ve been looking for this ’someone’ for so many years, have you found them? Have they appeared? It’s all just your illusion, we live in the present, can’t be willful for a lifetime!"
