Chapter 1101

Facing Chi Rao's fiery gaze, Ye Zhangqing only felt his scalp go numb; what's with this woman? This look is as if she wants to devour him raw.

He turned his head, no longer meeting Chi Rao's gaze; she didn't mind, instead letting out a charming laugh, secretly thinking that her choice was correct.

With just a single sentence, he changed the decisions of many elders of the Human Race; Ye Zhangqing's standing in their hearts is truly outrageously high.

Since the target has been confirmed to be the Stone Tribe, the next step is to decide who will make contact.

Someone has to go and make contact with the Stone Tribe, right?

The elders spoke up one after another.

"Now that it's confirmed to be the Stone Tribe, let's see who would be best to send."

"Indeed, the choice of person is important, after all, this person bears a heavy responsibility."

"We must choose someone with strong ability."

The elders were speaking, and Xu Jie, hearing this from the side, also added his comment.

"What the elders said is correct, but this person also needs to be scheming, deep-minded, and eloquent; otherwise it would be hard to accomplish the mission."

"After all, he's going to act as an envoy; without a silver tongue, it definitely won't work."

"It's like sending someone who's dull and tongue-tied; even three sticks wouldn't make him fart, let alone say anything."

Upon hearing Xu Jie's words, the elders all nodded, showing their agreement.

But soon the elders realized that what Xu Jie was saying was none other than himself.

For a moment, the elders' gazes all locked onto Xu Jie; being stared at by so many eyes, Xu Jie felt a bit puzzled and said.

"What's going on? Why are you all staring at me?"

"Haha, I didn't expect Xu Xiaozi to have such courage, actually volunteering himself—good, good."

Unexpectedly, the next second Yun Xiantai spoke first, leaving Xu Jie stunned and bewildered.

"What courage? What volunteering? When did I ever volunteer?"

Before he could speak, Yu Mo interjected.

"I was just saying, Xu Xiaozi usually goes around laughing and joking, but at critical moments he's still reliable; we old fogies hadn't even spoken yet, and he already volunteered himself."

"Not bad, not bad—'the student surpasses the teacher.' With juniors like you in the Human Race, we old fogies can rest easy."

Huh???

Hearing the elders chattering back and forth, Xu Jie was completely bewildered—what nonsense is this? When did I ever speak?

I just casually mentioned a small opinion—how did it suddenly get dragged onto me?

"No, elders, what are you saying? I can't understand a thing."

Xu Jie was completely at a loss; seeing this, the elders smiled and said.

"Xu Xiaozi, don't be modest now—since you've already volunteered, in my view this task is none other than yours."

"Exactly, with such a daunting task, we have to rely on you."

"That's settled—Xu Xiaozi will represent the Human Race and make a trip to the Stone Tribe."

"With him here, even I, an old man, can rest easy."

"Me too."

Huh????

Upon hearing the elders' words, Xu Jie finally realized he had inexplicably been chosen.

But I never volunteered or nominated myself—I just casually mentioned a small opinion earlier.

Besides, I only have Heavenly Human Realm cultivation; for such an important matter, even if you elders don't go personally, you should at least send a Great Saint powerhouse.

Sending someone like me, a Heavenly Human Realm junior, to go—can he even get through their door?

And if I say the wrong thing and anger those Stone Tribe elders, I could be slapped to death with a single palm.

Watching the elders mutter to themselves there, Xu Jie panicked and quickly said.

"No, I was just giving an opinion; moreover, my cultivation is probably insufficient—elders, you should consider this carefully."

"Sigh, Xu Xiaozi, don't sell yourself short—I see this task as none other than yours."

"Exactly, Xu Xiaozi, don't be humble—I've seen your potential since you were young."

"Good, Xu Xiaozi has agreed—truly the pride of our Human Race, the future of our Human Race."

Huh???

I had wanted to put up a struggle, but after the old ancestors said just a few words, I somehow ended up agreeing—I didn't even say anything.

Xu Jie wore a resentful look. "What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Are you forcing me into this?"

Damn, there are so many great emperor ancestors here, and you're bullying me, a junior, like this?

"Ancestor, you're doing this.........."

His face was full of grievance and resentment, but before Xu Jie could finish speaking, Qi Xiong cut him off.

"Alright, then Xu Jie, prepare yourself and set off as soon as you can; don't let down everyone's expectations."

"When you return, I'll have Changqing fix you a nice meal to celebrate your achievement."

Huh???

Xu Jie scoffed at this; damn, I haven't even finished speaking and you're already painting big pies.

And you even have Changqing, my junior fellow disciple, prepare a full table of good food for me; even if it's ready, with my pitiful cultivation, can I even snatch any from you?

By then, just getting to eat some leftovers would be not bad.

Xu Jie gave Qi Xiong a look as if he were a heartless person, and said gloomily.

"Shèngzhǔ, is it really okay for you to do this? I'm still just a child."

"Alright, it's decided then; Xu Xiaozi will represent our Human Race to go to the Stone Tribe for negotiations."

"I believe that with Xu Xiaozi's ability, he will surely manage it well."

"Alright, let's settle this matter here. Xu Xiaozǐ, go down and prepare; we'll set out today."

"But the old ancestors didn't listen to Xu Jie at all, directly choosing to ignore."

"There's no such thing as you being unwilling."

"After saying that, the old ancestors directly stood up and left, leaving only a sullen Xu Jie, who looked at Ye Zhangqing and Sun Ming and said."

"I'm afraid going to the Stone Tribe will be nine deaths and one life."

"I trust you, Shī xiōng; go ahead with peace of mind."

"Ye Zhangqing patted Xu Jie on the shoulder; this matter is beyond my control, so I can only let Xu Jie fend for himself."

"Seeing this, Xu Jie wore a resentful expression."

"Heh, then I really borrowed your auspicious words, junior brother."

"No need to be polite; we're brothers after all."

"Then you really are my good brother."

"Senior Brother Sun, you don't have anything to say to me?"

"I have two pills here; if you don't mind, Senior Brother Xu, take them."

"Sun Ming gave Xu Jie a few pills, then immediately walked out of the hall together with Ye Zhangqing, and faintly one could still hear their voices."

"Alas, Shī xiōng will probably achieve another great feat; unfortunately, the ancestors didn't choose me."

"Senior Brother Xu is already extraordinary; this time he's bound to rise spectacularly."

"I fucking....."

"Hearing their conversation, Xu Jie's face turned completely black. Was it that I wanted to go myself? You were there the whole time; couldn't you see there was a problem?"

"It's completely those old geezers screwing me over; they wouldn't listen to anything I said, just forced it through like a tyrant imposing a bow, and it's none of my business."
