Chapter 2729: Iron Peak Tribe Chief Summons
Listening to the two men's flattery, they directly said that Ye Zhangqing was heavenly and earthly, without equal.
The old man and the strong man spoke with flying spittle; for a moment, the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief also felt a hint of curiosity toward Ye Zhangqing.
To make these two guys praise him like this, Ye Zhangqing is obviously no ordinary person.
"According to what you say, then this Ye Zhangqing can indeed be considered a talent."
Upon this, the old man immediately interjected.
"That's for sure, clan chief, rest assured; our eye for people won't be wrong—we're spot on at a glance."
"Exactly, exactly."
The two men solemnly guaranteed.
Hearing this, the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief didn't say anything, but the two other elders present spoke with some suspicion.
"Listening to your wild claims, is it really that outrageous? Could there be such a person in this world? Do you think he's a true god?"
"How do you know it's not?"
As for that, the old man and the strong man naturally didn't back down, immediately retorting.
"You haven't even seen Ye Zhangqing, so how do you know we're not telling the truth?"
"The so-called frog in the well is exactly people like you—you haven't even met him face to face, yet you're so certain; your vision is extremely shallow."
However, the old man and the strong man didn't care at all about their attitude.
"As fellow elders, we can't decide on matters, and you can't either."
"Since neither of us has decision-making authority, what's the point of talking?"
So after retorting with a sentence to the two, the old man turned his head and refocused his attention on the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief.
"If they wanted to release someone, as the two had said earlier, only the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief had the authority to decide."
"Others could at most offer suggestions."
Facing the gaze of the old man and the strong man, the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief cracked a smile and said.
"Haha, hearing you say that has piqued my curiosity. How about this: tomorrow bring him so I can meet him."
Upon hearing this, the old man and the strong man couldn't help feeling delighted; the clan chief saying that meant there was a chance, and this step was correct.
The two men hurriedly bowed and thanked.
"Thank you, clan chief."
But the next second, the two other tribe elders spoke up in opposition.
"Clan chief, this is unacceptable—what's there to see in a mere post-Heaven human?"
"Exactly, these humans who rashly enter the Shenjie deserve to die; in my view they should just be killed outright."
The two held utter contempt for Ye Zhangqing, a human cultivator of that sort.
They looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, feeling that a mere post-Heaven human had no right to stand equal with them, let alone receive the clan chief's audience—it was simply ridiculous.
Their opposition had no other reason; they simply looked down on him.
The old man and the strong man naturally disagreed.
Seeing that both sides were about to argue again, this time the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief didn't give them a chance, but directly hammered out a decision.
"Alright, the matter is settled as such."
"He wants to see Ye Zhangqing; naturally he needs no one's consent—if he wants to see, he sees, it's that simple."
"And since the clan chief has said so, the two opposing elders find it hard to continue objecting."
"To persist further would not just be targeting Ye Zhangqing; it would be denying the clan chief face."
"As for the old man and the strong man, there's naturally nothing to say—just support."
"Seeing no one else objecting, the Iron Peak Tribe's clan chief waved the four away, letting them go about their business."
"Leaving the clan chief's presence, the four exchanged glances; the old man and the strong man snorted coldly, turned and left without a word."
"Watching the two swagger away, the other two elders also couldn't help but snort coldly and say:"
"Hmph, what nonsense."
"Really, the longer you live the more you regress—treating a mere post-Heaven human like a treasure, cradling it in your hands, simply throwing away the faces of eight generations of ancestors."
"Don't rush; I don't believe that post-Heaven human really has the mysterious qualities they claim—how could such a person exist in this world? The clan chief is just momentarily curious; once he actually sees him, it'll be the same old thing."
"Right, when the clan chief loses interest, we'll definitely wipe out these post-Heaven humans in one fell swoop."
The two elders didn't think Ye Zhangqing really had the perfection the old man and strong man claimed.
How could such a person exist in this world?
Not to mention a mere post-Heaven human; even the most outstanding few of their Barbarian God Tribe fall far short of the perfection the old man and strong man described.
So the two basically didn't want to think about it at all; their first reaction was, 'Those two guys are just blowing their own horns.'
Let's see how long those two can keep bragging; once the clan chief truly sees that person and is greatly disappointed, they'll have their chance to regret.
Unknowing of those two's thoughts, the old man and the strong man had already come eagerly to the place where Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin, and Miao Qianqian lived together.
The clan chief's promise to meet someone—this is the best news.
"Ye Xiaoyou, it's done; the clan chief has agreed to meet you tomorrow."
"That's right; tomorrow you need to perform well—as long as you win over the clan chief, the matter will be secure."
"Not convince, but win over by eating."
"In the old man and strong man's view, with Ye Zhangqing's culinary skill, convincing the clan chief is no problem—one bite and he'll be silent."
"The two of them had never eaten anything so delicious; a single meal was taken down by Ye Zhangqing."
"If it were the clan chief instead, the result would be the same—none of us have ever tasted such delicacies."
"Hearing the old man and strong man's words, Ye Zhangqing rose and performed a salute."
"Thank you, seniors."
The two exerted so much effort, naturally they should be thanked.
Regarding this, the two elders naturally didn't mind at all, repeatedly waving their hands.
"No problem, no problem, haha."
"It's just a small effort, little friend—you're being too polite."
Afterwards, the two elders again explained some points to note when meeting the Clan Chief, so that Ye Zhangqing wouldn't unknowingly break a taboo and give others a handle.
The two of them, naturally, held nothing back, explaining in great detail.
After they finished speaking, it was already dark.
Checking the Shíchén, Ye Zhangqing also had the two stay for a simple meal.
Being able to have a meal, the two elders were naturally delighted, their mouths couldn't stop smiling.
Although the food was simple, the two still ate their fill.
Patting their bellies as they left, they agreed to come the next day to take Ye Zhangqing to see the Clan Chief.
The night passed in silence; although most of the Iron Blade Tribe's people didn't have much good feeling toward Ye Zhangqing and his companions.
However, because of the two elders and the clan chief's summons, that night no one rashly came to cause trouble.
The next morning early, the elder and the sturdy man came; not just the two of them, but also the dozens of tribespeople who had previously gone to the Fire Spirit Tribe came.
Each one, under the pretense, was to send Ye Zhangqing to meet the Clan Chief.
Dozens of people seeing me off—are you sure you're not planning a rebellion?
However, seeing the crowd's expectant gazes, Ye Zhangqing still smiled and said.
"It's still early; let's have breakfast first, then go."
"That's excellent."
