Chapter 615: Competition for 0616 Slots! (Fifth Update)

"Father, you were looking for me..." Tang Surou had just looked towards her father, Tang Heshan, and was suddenly speechless, Ye Qiu had already arrived at the family’s residence.

She had planned to bring Ye Qiu to the Tang clan tomorrow but unexpectedly saw him in her father’s study.

"Miss Tang," Ye Qiu said with a slight smile.

"Father wanted to see the talented martial artist you spoke of sooner, so he had Elder Tang Li bring him here," Tang Heshan said.

Tang Surou regained her composure, a hint of nervousness in her eyes, she hadn’t expected her father to bring Ye Qiu to the Tang clan before her.

"Su Rou, entering the secret land is a significant event for the entire ancient land, and should not be taken lightly. First, make arrangements for Young Brother Ye and then come to my study," Tang Heshan said.

Tang Surou acknowledged with a sound, Ye Qiu gave Tang Heshan a bow, and followed Tang Surou out of the study.

Once they were out of the room, Tang Surou apologized, "My father didn’t say anything to you, did he?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "Uncle was very kind and didn’t make things difficult for me."

"That’s good, that’s good," Tang Surou said, sticking out her tongue, and continued, "I’ll take you to where you’ll be staying."

"Thank you, Miss Tang," Ye Qiu replied.

Following Tang Surou, Ye Qiu arrived at a room where she arranged his accommodation, and then Tang Surou immediately returned to her father’s study.

"Father." Upon returning to the study, Tang Surou stood quietly at the desk, watching Tang Heshan deep in thought.

After a while, Tang Heshan raised his head and said, "Su Rou, Ye Qiu’s talent is indeed impressive, however, I don’t believe he is qualified to enter the secret land to aid you."

"Father, I know you think Ye Qiu is inferior to the scions of the ancient land, but this man reached the legendary level in such an environment, I believe his potential is limitless. Given the chance, he could soar to great heights," Tang Surou argued earnestly.

Tang Heshan shook his head, "Su Rou, I know you think highly of him, but he is ultimately an outsider, not a Tang clan scion. If he turns against you in the secret land, or if he covets your opportunity and then pardons it to someone else..."

Tang Surou fell silent for a moment. She understood her father’s concerns and worries, as, after all, Ye Qiu was an outsider, not as trustworthy as a Tang clan scion.

"You should know that entering the secret land, each ancient clan has limited spots, and I don’t want to waste this one spot and lose out big time."

"Moreover, in our Tang clan, many young scions have been waiting for the chance to enter the secret land this time. If it were given to him, Ye Qiu, what would our clan members think? The Tang clan does not belong to me, Tang Heshan, alone."

Tang Heshan expressed his concerns, and Tang Surou understood his reasoning was not without merit, given the limited entry to the secret land, where each family could not surpass five people. If Ye Qiu took one spot, there would be one fewer direct descendant of the Tang clan among them.

"Now that the Tang family’s spots for entering the secret land are almost finalized, if we let Ye Qiu in and push someone else out, who would agree?"

"You should be aware, aside from you, the disciples of the Tang clan’s elders are also candidates for entering the Great Emperor’s tomb. Do you think they would be willing to give up their spots for Ye Qiu?"

Considering the several elders of the family, Tang Surou also felt a bit of a headache. Although the Tang clan was overseen by her father, Tang Heshan, the elders’ council also held considerable power. The spots for entering the secret land were not solely up to Tang Heshan; even if the father allowed a spot for Ye Qiu, it had to be discussed by the council of elders.

After a moment of reflection, Tang Surou suddenly said, "Father, since the council of elders unanimously believe their disciples’ strength is formidable, why not let Ye Qiu battle with them? If Ye Qiu loses, Su Rou will no longer insist. What do you think?"

Tang Heshan’s gaze flickered, looking at his daughter’s resolute eyes, he finally sighed, "Well, I too want to see what that young man is truly capable of. Since you suggest this, let’s do it your way."

It was the first time their daughter had been so insistent on something, and Tang Heshan did not want to dash her hopes. Since Tang Surou wanted to give Ye Qiu a chance, he would grant him that opportunity. Whether he could seize it depended on Ye Qiu’s own strength.

Upon hearing this, Tang Surou felt overjoyed and slightly relieved.

Ever since she had witnessed Ye Qiu’s life-and-death battle with Qian Zang, she had felt that Ye Qiu’s arrival would bring fresh changes to the ancient lands. Although it was just a sixth sense, she admired Ye Qiu’s courage to fight beyond his level without giving up. It was on this basis that she wanted to try this.

Perhaps Ye Qiu could really help her in the Great Emperor’s tomb.

...

The Tang Clan’s Elder Council was composed of five elders: Elder Tang Li, Elder Tang Feng, Elder Tang Hai, Elder Tang Yun, and Elder Tang Yu.

Elder Tang Li had brought Ye Qiu back to the Tang Clan, naturally not without the other four elders noticing.

Soon, the news spread among the elders.

"Elder Tang Li," asked Elder Tang Feng, "I heard the Family Head sent someone to the mundane world and brought back a junior from the martial world. Do you know what the Family Head’s intentions are?"

"As for the intentions of the Family Head, Tang does not know. However, the strength of this martial junior has slightly surprised Tang," Elder Tang Li replied.

"Oh? Could it be possible that a martial arts prodigy has emerged from the mundane world? Haha..." Elder Tang Feng laughed out loud, and the other elders joined in.

However, when Elder Tang Li mentioned that Ye Qiu was a Legendary Martial Artist, the laughter of the other elders abruptly stopped.

"You say he is at the Legendary level? How is that possible!" Elder Tang Feng was the first to show a look of shock.

Elder Tang Li smiled, "Although the young man hides his aura well, he could not fool my eyes. He is undoubtedly at the Legendary level."

Upon hearing Elder Tang Li’s confident words, the other elders fell silent. At this moment, with the appearance of a young Legendary Martial Artist entering the Tang family, these old monsters who had lived for many years could scent what this meant.

"The secret realm is about to open. Besides Miss Tang Surou, who is at the Legendary level, all the disciples of the elders are still stuck at the peak of the True Qi level. With the Clan Leader bringing this young man into the family, I think there will be changes to the roster!"

As soon as this was said, all the present elders were moved, as they indeed saw it as a possibility.

"Ah, it seems our Tang Clan has had some bad luck. Originally, Tang Yuan and Tang Biao, the two legendary talents of the Tang Clan, were secretly attacked, and they have not yet awoken, missing this opportunity to enter the Great Emperor’s tomb."

"However, this is now a fact. But even so, the slots for entering the secret realm shouldn’t just be given to an outsider."

All the elders nodded simultaneously, agreeing that this was correct, as this was an opportunity for the children of the Tang Clan, not just for any outsider.

"No, I must go and ask the Clan Leader to clarify this. This slot has to be for someone from our Tang Clan," Elder Tang Feng said earnestly.

Elder Tang Li remained silent, but he understood Elder Tang Feng’s urgency, because as long as there were no accidents, one of his disciples would enter the Great Emperor’s tomb alongside Tang Surou.

The intentions of the several elders gathered here were clear. Apart from Elder Tang Li, the disciples of the remaining four elders were all slated to enter the Great Emperor’s tomb, but now with Ye Qiu’s emergence, a change was likely, and they could no longer remain composed.

Elder Tang Li quietly watched the thoughts of his fellow elders flicker. He smiled slightly, foreseeing that there would likely be some minor ripples in the Tang Clan before entering the Great Emperor’s tomb.

"I wonder if this martial junior can seize this opportunity to leap through the dragon’s gate. Although he is an outsider, I can’t help but feel a bit excited," Elder Tang Li mused to himself.
