The Third Division ended somewhat anticlimactically.

But no matter what, at least there's some explanation.

It had a relatively decent ending.

Ye Qingcang believed he had been very responsible. After all, from his current perspective, it was debatable whether anyone would have been in the mood to put on an act for the audience once their goal had been achieved.

He can pretend to spend a little time on it.

Used to fob people off.

Used to put this period.

Even if it can't be called responsible, it's still a sincere evaluation.

So, after he returned to the lounge.

To be precise, we should return to the private room.

Before the three-day rest period began after the Third Division ended.

An unexpected guest arrived.

"No, perhaps it should be said that there are three of them."

"One Light?"

"Two Dark!"

Under the bright lights, Ye Qingcang sat on the sofa, lost in thought for a moment. Then, he turned to look at the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who also seemed to be deep in thought, and Violet and the others who hadn't noticed anything amiss. He coughed lightly, taking the opportunity to interrupt the girls' conversation, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "It's getting late. Violet, I remember you mentioned wanting to go to the night market. Why don't you bring them along? And what about Miss Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena? What's your opinion?"

"Want to visit the night market?"

A hint of confusion flickered in Violet's jewel-like eyes.

However, it quickly became clear.

She pursed her lips imperceptibly.

She naturally took over the conversation, suppressing her worries and not revealing anything unusual in her tone. Instead, she said as always, "Oh dear... look at my memory! I've been so busy with work lately that I completely forgot. But I happen to have some time today... Silver Dragon King, would I have the honor of inviting you to come along?"

"Since you've put it that way... I'll definitely give you face."

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena glanced at Ye Qingcang.

He met Ye Qingcang's dark eyes for a second.

Immediately, they were quite naturally separated.

As if nothing had happened, it fell on Violet and the others.

But only a handful of people know this.

This statement was not made to Violet.

It was aimed at Ye Qingcang!

However, considering their alliance, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena gave Ye Qingcang a way out. Whether he would choose it was uncertain. Therefore, in this statement, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena used a similar tactic, a subtle warning, a veiled question. While seemingly addressed to Violet, she was actually asking Ye Qingcang Ye Qingcang: "However, as a guest, whether I leave or not inevitably depends on the feelings of the host. Perhaps you could say a few words on my behalf?"

"There's nothing to consider."

"Didn't you just say I was the owner of this place?"

"Since you are the master..."

"Treat guests."

"How can one force something like this?"

"I was just giving you a heads-up."

"If Silver Dragon King has her own reasons and it is truly inconvenient for her to go, then I fully respect Silver Dragon King's personal wishes."

"Moreover, since I made the suggestion, it means I have no intention of stopping it."

"I also believe that Silver Dragon King will understand the unspoken meaning in my words."

Ye Qingcang's smile was quite appropriate.

It's neither salty nor bland.

Full of sincerity.

But the more this happened, the more panicked Violet became.

Because Ye Qingcang hasn't done this for many years.

Ye Qingcang has always admired people who are flesh and blood.

I will always be a person with flesh and blood.

Therefore, the Ye Qingcang she knew was no different from an ordinary person on a daily basis. He would stay in bed late in winter, sometimes stare blankly at the scenery outside the window, eat his favorite dishes and dislike his favorite dishes, chat and laugh, and experience normal emotional fluctuations, such as happiness, depression, loneliness, and confusion. Only when facing something very serious would Ye Qingcang put on a serious attitude, or even put on a smiling Masks.

Yes.

A smile is a Masks.

That's how it is, at least in Ye Qingcang's hands.

Besides the Masks of smiles, Ye Qingcang has many other Masks in his possession.

The placement of these Masks is very strange.

Just like Ye Qingcang's positioning.

When it comes to treating their own people, it doesn't matter; you could say they do whatever makes them comfortable.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

When dealing with outsiders, one should maintain a poker face and not show one's emotions.

When dealing with enemies, one must learn to switch Masks and use deception to lure them.

Although Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena didn't know as much about Ye Qingcang Violet, her memories of ruling the Divine Realm Dragon God Silver Dragon King gave her some experience. She was very familiar with this kind of basic imperial art, which could also be called the art of the mind. Therefore, she didn't try to persuade Ye Qingcang Gu Yuena. Instead, she nodded, stood up, and grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that was unwilling to leave with one hand, as if grabbing a cat, by the scruff of its neck. With her other hand, she lifted the three-eyed Three-Eyed Golden Lion Three-Eyed Golden Lion and placed it on her arm, using great righteousness to suppress Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Then, she gestured for Violet and the others to leave first.

Incidentally, she said politely, "Then I'll trouble Violet to lead the way..."

"It's no trouble at all."

Violet has a very strong ability to control her emotions.

Don't ask why.

The answer is that Violet has a strong sense of execution.

Back when Ye Qingcang cultivating his mind...

Violet also underwent the same procedure.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang succeeded in his cultivation.

Violet naturally followed suit and completed the cultivation as well.

As for whether this process of self-cultivation has gone astray, no one knows. Perhaps only Violet herself knows the answer, but Ye Qingcang would never ask about such a private matter.

However, Ning Rongrong did notice something.

Actually, the main reason is that Qian Renxue is not here.

If Qian Renxue were here.

Qian Renxue could also tell that something was wrong.

certainly.

The reason Qian Renxue wasn't that Ye Qingcang was useless after winning the championship was not because Ye Qingcang was useless, but because Qian Renxue's situation was also a mess, and she simply didn't have the energy to kill time with Ye Qingcang. If nothing unexpected happened, she was currently arguing fiercely with Bibidong about the championship prize money, which was a matter of profit. This was something that Qian Renxue herself had already anticipated before she returned.

After all, it's such a big cake.

Everyone wanted to come over and have a bite.

Moreover, we now have such a large piece of cake.

The Spirit Hall can do a lot of things.

However, the Elder's Hall and the Worship Hall are two different concepts.

Although Qian Renxue and Bibidong have reconciled and Bibidong has acknowledged Qian Renxue as her daughter, their respective needs remain extremely strong.

In Bibidong's words, instead of using those resources to develop Soul Tool, you might as well give them to me to greatly support Commoner Soul Master. The Soul Master World will always be a pyramid. Even if you train ten thousand Soul Tool Master, it won't compare to me training one titled Douluo from ten thousand Soul Master. So, forgive your mother, these resources are hard-won, and I cannot allow you to waste them.

In Qian Renxue's words, I know these resources are hard-won, but I won the Individual Competition championship. Although Hu Liena and the others also won the Team Competition championship with me, the right to allocate resources has always been held by the captain. I can give Na Na and the others a certain amount of resources proportionally, and I don't deny your policy of cultivating Commoner Soul Master. But given the original size of the Spirit Hall's base, I can't possibly throw more resources into it. The capacity of a bucket of water is always determined by the shortest plank. As a newly emerging derivative path of Soul Master, the Soul Tool Master is the piece of the puzzle that can complement Soul Master. If your extreme path can succeed, that would be even better. But it's impossible to dismantle my balanced path to support your extreme path. Because as a new profession, the Soul Tool Master needs a sufficiently favorable environment, just like a seedling that has just broken through the soil cannot withstand too fierce a storm. Even if we take a step back, I will definitely prioritize my side.

So it would be strange if they didn't start arguing!

Anyway, let's get back to the main topic.

Before leaving, Ning Rongrong hinted, albeit subtly, "I know a night market nearby. How about we go check it out? That way, if we get tired, the way back won't be far. What do you all think?"
