Soul Emperor Martial God

The gazes of the three all focused on Xiao Yi simultaneously.

The thoughts of the three were also not the same.

"Will he give it to me?" Cheng Suyan and Chu Rou both wondered secretly.

"This little thief definitely won't give it to me, right?" Qin Hongyi's heart went cold.

"I..." Xiao Yi just wanted to say something.

He actually wanted to say, whatever, you can solve it among yourselves.

Unexpectedly, Chu Rou was one step ahead, saying, "I don't need it."

Chu Rou's eyes were bright, and she smiled, saying, "Although I haven't entered the Heavenly Extreme Realm, I still have confidence in my abilities."

Back at the Wind Silence Sacred Land, the strength she unleashed suppressed even the Eldest Prince.

If the Eldest Prince dared to rely on his own strength to compete for a spot, she naturally dared as well.

Xiao Yi looked at Chu Rou, nodded, and said, "Then..."

He still wanted to say, whatever, Cheng Suyan and Qin Hongyi can solve it themselves.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hongyi was one step ahead, saying, "Wait."

"Deacon Xiao Yi, I don't need you to grant me a spot."

"But." Qin Hongyi suddenly changed her tone, speaking in a deep voice, "I think this spot isn't yours to decide."

"Hmm?" Everyone looked puzzled.

Qin Hongyi let out a cold laugh, and a token appeared out of nowhere in her hand.

"A Wind Shattering Hall token?" Lih Fengxing recognized the token at a glance.

"Junior Sister Hongyi, you're a Wind Master? Which sub-hall did you join as a Wind Master, why didn't I know?"

Qin Hongyi smiled smugly, saying, "As Sub-Hall Master of the First Main Hall of the Wind Saint Territory, there's naturally no reason for you to bother with the affairs of ordinary sub-halls."

"Near the Boiling Volcano, there's also a sub-hall of the Wind Shattering Hall, and I've long since joined it."

After saying this, Qin Hongyi looked at Senior Li He, "Senior, according to the rules of the Wind Shattering Hall, if the reward item within the hall isn't wanted by the recipient, it cannot be easily given to others, right?"

"And even if it is given away, the hall's martial artists must be considered first, right?"

Xiao Yi's eyes instantly chilled upon hearing this.

He didn't care about the so-called spot.

But he disliked Qin Hongyi's way of doing things immensely.

Lih Fengxing frowned, knowing that the Wind Shattering Hall indeed had this rule.

No, it wasn't just the Wind Shattering Hall; other halls and other forces had this rule too.

Things belonging to one's own force naturally should consider their own martial artists first, rather than an outsider.

And it was apparent that Cheng Suyan was an outsider to the Wind Shattering Hall.

"I ask Sub-Hall Master Li He to decide." Qin Hongyi bowed to Senior Li He, emphasizing those three words, 'Sub-Hall Master.'

After saying that, Qin Hongyi cast a provocative glance at Xiao Yi.

The implication in that gaze was clear.

I don't need you to grant me a spot; I can obtain one myself.

At this moment, Senior Li He smiled faintly, "Miss Hongyi, I think you misunderstood. This is not something the Hall Master can decide."

"Why?" Qin Hongyi's face turned anxious.

Senior Li He smiled, saying, "This spot of General Deputy Xiao Yi's isn't a Wind Shattering Hall item."

"It's something of Star Swapping City, merely given to the Wind Shattering Hall to grant to General Deputy Xiao Yi."

"Therefore, the decision maker is still General Deputy Xiao Yi."

The so-called hall reward items referred to the items the hall inherently possessed, such as Sub-Saint Artifacts, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, etc.

And these spots are, strictly speaking, considered to belong to Star Swapping City.

"What? Deacon Xiao Yi, I..." Qin Hongyi's face suddenly became incredibly unpleasant as she turned to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's expression was indifferent, "Since Miss Hongyi just said she doesn't need me to grant the spot."

Xiao Yi gave a playful smile, looking at Cheng Suyan, "Then I suppose there's no need to consider, it can only be given to Miss Suyan."

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao Yi." Cheng Suyan's face was full of joy.

"You..." Qin Hongyi bit her lip, her face full of unwillingness.

Just then, a Wind Master hurriedly arrived from outside the Inner Hall.

"Greetings, Sub-Hall Master." The newcomer bowed to Senior Li He.

"What's the matter?" Senior Li He asked.

The newcomer respectfully said, "Reporting to Wind Hall Master, the matter of the Violent Wolf Mountain Bandit Group has been thoroughly investigated and confirmed by the City Lord of Star Swapping City and our sub-hall's Law Enforcement Team."

"Oh?" Senior Li He asked, "Confirmed that it was indeed General Deputy Xiao Yi who eradicated them?"

"Yes." The newcomer nodded, saying, "The City Lord has already delivered the bounty reward and promised to give General Deputy Xiao Yi an additional Star Swapping Day spot."

"Hmm." Senior Li He smiled, looking at Xiao Yi, "It seems the City Lord is quite pleased with your eradication of the Violent Wolf Mountain Bandit Group."

"Apart from the original bounty reward, they even granted you an additional spot."

One should know, since the spots can be transferred; during each Star Swapping Day event, the value of a spot is unimaginably high.

If this spot were to be auctioned at a trading company, it might be worth the value of a Sub-Saint Artifact.

Of course, a Star Swapping Day spot is something nearly no one would be willing to auction.

"Deacon Xiao Yi, this spot..." Qin Hongyi's face lit up with hope.

However, a graceful figure came to Xiao Yi's side first, saying, "Young Master Xiao Yi, how about giving this spot to me?"

It was Chu Rou speaking.

"Sure." Xiao Yi nodded.

These spots, it didn't matter whether there was one or more; they were of no use to him.

"You..." Qin Hongyi glared angrily at Chu Rou, "Chu Rou, didn't you just say you didn't want this spot?"

"I've changed my mind." Chu Rou shrugged, smiling playfully at Qin Hongyi.

"Chu Rou, what do you mean?" Qin Hongyi's face turned icy.

"Nothing in particular." Chu Rou teased with a laugh.

After saying that, Chu Rou looked at Xiao Yi, "Since Young Master Xiao Yi has agreed to give me the spot, I assume he won't go back on his word."

Xiao Yi nodded without speaking.

Chu Rou smiled triumphantly and looked at Qin Hongyi, "Then, if Junior Sister Hongyi you want this spot, perhaps you could try competing with me for it."

"The strong shall have it."

"You..." Qin Hongyi gritted her teeth, "Fine, I simply do not believe that I, Qin Hongyi, cannot get a spot on my own."

With that, Qin Hongyi angrily turned and left.

The others shook their heads, ignoring her.

"Alright." Senior Li He was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"I called you all here today for the matter of Star Swapping Day."

"There are still three days until Star Swapping Day, make sure you two are prepared."

"Yes." Xiao Yi and Lih Fengxing nodded.

Everyone left the Inner Hall.

The Wind Shattering Hall had already arranged accommodations for everyone.

Xiao Yi was just about to leave when Lih Fengxing suddenly said, "Deacon Xiao Yi, there's an exceptionally grand auction in Star Swapping City this afternoon. Are you interested?"

"An auction?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

"Yes." Lih Fengxing said, "Every three years before Star Swapping Day, such a large auction is held."

"I've heard the items auctioned are almost all rare and extremely valuable."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Alright, let's go together this afternoon."

...

The first update.
