Chapter 228 – Please Stay (2/2)

“Don't be hasty! We would like to ask you a few more questions.” The Qing elders also caught up, none of them wanted to let the prodigy slip out of their fingers.

Having witnessed Ye Wei’s capability to refine an Earth stance, the Qings were even more desperate to recruit the initiate, thinking that even just based on the initiate’s talent as a Runemaster Ye Wei could help the Qing’s to reach their new height as a rune-centric martial force.

Unlike the influence of a god’s prime Warrior, a Grand-Runemaster’s contribution would have a lasting impact on martial family’s standing. The elders were surprised by Qing Yao’s forwardness and initiative but didn’t find it necessary to stop her from bothering the initiate.

None of the elders could believe they’ve underestimated Ye Wei, they were ashamed of themselves for making assumptions. On the other hand they were pleasantly surprised by the reality, imagining the future of their family with Ye Wei as their leader.

‘This is the most humble I’ve seen her! I guess it makes sense considering she is interested in runes more than anything else cultivation related.’ Xue Er chuckled as her gaze whizzed back and forth between Ye Wei and Qing Yao.

‘I never thought someone could have cultivation potential like Chi Wuxiu’s and talented as a Runemaster! If the outside world learned about the story of what happened today, Ye Wei would surely be surrounded by girls desperate to become his girlfriend!’ Although clouded by wild thoughts, Xue Er knew better than to get involved in complicated relationships.

Ye Wei sighed and looked sincerely at the elders, “I can try to help with further refinement, but I really can’t join any martial families for now.”

“Can you do that? Do you think there is still room for improvement?” After a brief moment of silence, Qing Yao’s sweet voice sounded. She couldn’t help comparing Ye Wei to the projection of her idol. ‘His sensitivity must be sharp, I wonder how he would weigh up against the Runemaster who found the first Vermilion rune.Thousands of top Runemasters have been researching on the the seven runes and this mysterious person managed to get it done before all of them.’

“Yes, there is some room for improvement.” Ye Wei nodded. “But I don’t know the stance well enough.”

“Is there!?” Xue Yao’s eyes brightened up interrupting before Ye Wei finished his sentence.

Meanwhile, the elders were communicating with each other using the Qing’s own voice transmission technique.

“This kid is extraordinary! His intuition with runes seems almost supernatural, I think he has a better chance of becoming a Grand-Runemaster than becoming a god’s prime Warrior.”

“It’s a blessing from the sages that we got to meet this kid!”

“Don’t be so wishful yet, even if Ye Wei is twice as talented it won’t mean anything to the family before we actually successfully recruit him.”

“Then we should make a decision.”

“I say we do whatever it takes to get him on our side.” Elder Qing Ming expressed his view and all the other elders nodded. “Since he is clear that he doesn’t want to pick a side, we have to influence him delicately.”

While the elders were trying to come up with a solution, Qing Yao showed the Light Slash Finger stance to Ye Wei again.

“Here, this rune doesn’t look right and I have no idea what exactly the problem is.” Ye Wei pointed at the stance. “What do you think? I have not learned this stance, so I don’t know what the Qi flow is like exactly.”

“Oh…” Qing Yao nodded disappointedly.

“Thank you anyway. You have helped us a lot, and you shall be rewarded for your effort.” Elder Qing Ming walked forth and handed over an interspatial bag to Ye Wei.
