Chapter 737: Chapter 330: Promote Civility and Establish New Norms_2

"That’s not a suggestion you’re making—it’s more effective than an imperial decree!"

"Who nowadays in the Qin Yuan Nation would dare to provoke Qi Yuan with their eyes wide open?"

"Even the other families among the Seven Martial Stars Clan hold Qi Yuan in reverence as if he were their own esteemed ancestor."

The Seventh Prince finished his formal rites and walked out of the hotel.

Standing respectfully in the hotel’s exterior hall was a group of elderly men.

The youngest of these men was over sixty.

Yet at this moment, they stood outside the hotel respectfully, not even daring to sit on a chair.

Because they were meeting Qi Yuan, they didn’t dare to exercise their usual privileges, like closing roads or barring others from entering.

Thus, passers-by would occasionally walk past, casting curious glances at the group of old men standing there.

Some even took photos.

No matter what they thought, they could never guess that this group of old men were some of the most powerful figures in the Qin Yuan Nation.

They were the clan chiefs of the Seven Martial Stars Clan and the King of the Qin Yuan Nation’s Royal Family.

Seeing the Seventh Prince come out, the elders hurriedly approached.

Clan Chief Fang asked, "What... what did Mr. Qi say?"

There was a slight tremble in Clan Chief Fang’s voice.

Having lived this long, he had never been so cautious and careful.

"Mr. Qi does not wish to see you all," the Seventh Prince replied truthfully.

"What?"

"Mr. Qi doesn’t want to see us..."

"Could it be that..."

The old geezers looked as if they had lost their ancestors.

They thought Qi Yuan might be angry and wanted to deal with them as well.

"Mr. Qi said he is busy and can’t be bothered to meet you..." the Seventh Prince recalled Qi Yuan’s original words verbatim to them.

The elders all breathed a sigh of relief.

"We hold Mr. Qi’s words close to our hearts and we dare not disobey!" Clan Chief Fang declared.

The other clan chiefs echoed him.

Not meeting Qi Yuan might be a good or bad thing for them, they really didn’t know.

In fact, some of them were also on edge.

If Mr. Qi were unhappy and killed them all, what would they do?

Not meeting Mr. Qi... in some ways, it was a good thing.

"From now on... we will abide by the law and be good people. We will also strictly require that those in our clans do not disturb Mr. Qi!" Clan Chief Fang added another sentence as a form of compensation.

The other elders also chimed in one after another, like Young Pioneers taking an oath, missing only a red scarf tied around their necks.

Young men and women stopped not far away and, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but take photos.

"This is so interesting, are they shooting a video?"

"So creative, hiring a group of old men to shoot a video promoting respect and adherence to the law, it’s bound to go viral."

"This Mr. Qi must be a major internet celebrity. This is the Capital City, not some rural place; hiring these old men for a video, a single egg wouldn’t be enough."

"At least ten eggs."

...

Two days later.

Longtai City.

Qi Yuan breathed in the fresh air and, looking at the azure sky, couldn’t help but say,

"It’s a rumor that if you toss a brick, it’ll hit a clan leader.

But the fact that the air in the Capital City is terrible... that’s true."

Goldfinch also took a deep sniff and nodded her head in agreement.

"The only regret about this trip to the Capital City is... these Old Men are too poor. According to the standards of my ’First Love,’ their age qualifies, but their other hardware and software are too inferior, not even up to meal replacement."

At that time, Qi Yuan didn’t meet those old men.

But after all, he was a killer of old men.

His favorite people were old men.

After all, the chances of finding a ’First Love’ were highest among old men.

Then, he couldn’t help but gaze into the distance, looking for a ’First Love’ that caught his fancy.

Unfortunately, reality was too skinny.

That group of old men was too poor.

Not even worthy to be considered a meal replacement.

"I did a simple investigation these past few days... the chances of finding someone who could be your ’First Love’ here are... probably very slim," Goldfinch said thoughtfully.

Having been with Qi Yuan for so long, she had adapted to his way of speaking.

"It seems, we can only leave it up to fate," Qi Yuan sighed.

In the midst of their conversation, the two found themselves once again in front of the former building of a branch of the Martial Arts Alliance.

The competition was due to begin the following day.

Today, all the contestants were going to undergo medical examinations before being arranged into their accommodations.

The competition would start tomorrow.

At that moment, a bus stopped, and a group of young men and women got off.

Xing Yu’s eyes were brimming with joy: "So this is Longtai, indeed it looks much more prosperous than our Tianyue."

"So many martial artists, are they all here to participate in the Martial Arts convention?" Wang Shiqiao’s eyes sparkled.

This time, Xu Tiehua’s stunning performance in the municipal competition and his brilliant showing in the provincial match won him a place in the national competition.

For their Martial Arts Academy, this was a big deal.

Thus, five or six people from their academy accompanied Xu Tiehua to Longtai City.

Wang Shiqiao and Xing Yu were the belles of the academy, naturally coming along to cheer and support.

After all, all expenses were covered by the Hall Master.

"Big Brother Xu, you must claim a spot in the top hundred this time!" Xing Yu encouraged Xu Tiehua.

Xu Tiehua shook his head, "That’s too difficult, I’m just here to broaden my horizons this time.

As for next time... I don’t know if there will be a next time, as so much has happened lately."

At the mention of this, Xing Yu and Wang Shiqiao also felt deeply concerned.

Especially with the voting two days earlier, the candidates were from the legendary Seven Martial Stars Clan.

Even someone with Xu Tiehua’s status, with a certain degree of power in his own right, didn’t qualify to meet members of the Seven Martial Stars Clan.

Yet now, everyone could cast a vote deciding their life or death.

This had caused an uproar in the Qin Yuan Nation, sparking many discussions.

The opinions were many and varied, but there was no consensus.
