Elder Qingfeng’s expression was quite unpleasant. Being from the same Elf Tribe, the Fire Elves were actually discriminating among their own people!

Yanqing’s demeanor was somewhat awkward; he had realized that Li Cheng shared Elder Qingfeng’s sentiments.

Thus, Yanqing said with a smile, “Elder Qingfeng, please forgive us. Let’s all be seated!”

He still wanted to learn Artifact Refining from Li Cheng, so of course, he would cater to Li Cheng’s preferences.

At least at this time, they could not afford to treat their people differently.

“This is not right, Clan Leader. Why should we, the Fire Elves, pay attention to what Elder Qingfeng says? Servants are servants, how could they sit on the same level as us?” The elder who had spoken before stood up, speaking unhappily.

“Exactly, they are all of impure bloodline. It is their honor to serve us!” An old crone also spoke up.

Elder Qingfeng became angry, “Serve you? Are you without hands or feet?”

“Impure bloodline? They are all descendants of our Five Elements Elf Tribe, what’s impure about that?”

“Back in the day, the Five Elements Great Emperor was just like them. Do you dare to say the Emperor’s bloodline was impure? Do you want the Emperor to serve you?”

The elder and the crone got choked up, unable to continue once the Five Elements Great Emperor was mentioned – they naturally did not dare to speak further.

“Don’t be angry, Elder Qingfeng. Didn’t 1 just ask everyone to be seated?” Yanqing said with a bitter smile.

Elder Qingfeng glared at Yanqing, “It’s only been a few thousand years since I’ve been here, and the Fire Elf Clan has become like this?”

Yanqing helpless said, “Brother Li is here, Elder Qingfeng, please hold back a bit!”

Arguing in front of Li Cheng, what would that look like?

“Hold back? Today, 1 truly take issue. If you, Yanqing, do not change this wrongful practice, I will call together the other clans to reorganize your Fire Elf Clan!” Elder Qingfeng slammed the table and shouted angrily.

Yanqing’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said sternly, “Enough! This is our Fire Elf Clan’s matter, not for you to interfere in!”

The atmosphere instantly became tense as if a fight could break out at any moment!

Li Cheng remained composed and slowly stood up.

Everyone turned their gazes toward Li Cheng. What was he going to do?

Li Cheng reached out through the air, and a surge of mystical energy enveloped the young girl at the edge of the area, drawing her to his side.

Yanqing and the others looked puzzled. Why grab a servant? Could it be…

The girl’s face turned pale with shock, and she quickly knelt down, “Honorable guest, please be calm…”

“Don’t be nervous, what is your name?”

The girl was so tense she couldn’t even speak, opening her rosy little mouth but unable to make a sound.

Li Cheng sighed inwardly. The Fire Elf Clan held deep prejudice against those of their kind who possessed multiple attributes!

He really wondered how they were treated on a daily basis that had made them as skittish as frightened birds.

“Her name is Yan Yao, a servant girl of mine. If Master Li likes her, I will give her to you!” The old crone started to laugh, her face full of amusement.

Li Cheng glanced at the old crone, said nothing, and took out the Five Elements Meridian Pearl from his hand.

The moment the Five Elements Meridian Pearl appeared, the whole room fell into stunned silence!

At the main table, everyone’s eyes widened. As members of the Five Elements Elf Tribe, who wouldn’t know of the Five Elements Meridian Pearl left by the Five Elements Great Emperor?

But for hundreds of thousands of years, it had not been seen, and the Five Elements Meridian Pearl had become a legend!

And now, what were they seeing? A legendary treasure!

Yan Yao, sensing the odd change in the atmosphere, cautiously lifted her head, only to see Li Cheng crouch down before her, bringing the colorful pearl to her.

The old crone reacted and hastily said, “You foolish girl, take it! That’s the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, a gift from Master Li to you!”

The Five Elements Meridian Pearl?

Yan Yao’s eyes flashed with astonishment, but she immediately lowered her head, not daring to accept it.

Li Cheng, feeling helpless, shook his head and said, “The scorching sun blazes like fire, half withering the wild crops in the field, the farmer’s heart boils like soup, while the noble’s son fans himself leisurely.”

“Hey, Yan Yao’s name is in this poem!” Feng Wanli exclaimed with sudden excitement.

Yan Qing and the others’ expressions slightly changed, they had caught on—Li Cheng was accusing them of not treating their tribespeople equally!

Elder Qingfeng’s eyes revealed surprise, not only had he included Yan Yao’s name, but he had also mocked the Fire Elf Tribe, brilliant!

“Yan Yao, this man is the benefactor of our Wood Elf Clan, a half successor of the Five Elements Great Emperor, and an extremely skilled Refinement Artifact Immortal Master.”

Elder Qingfeng came over, and while speaking, helped Yan Yao up, then said, “Old I am without offspring, would you like to be my goddaughter?”

Everyone looked confused at Elder Qingfeng, that didn’t make sense—what did the previous statement have to do with the next?

It was clear he was introducing Li Cheng, so why suddenly switch to adopting a goddaughter?

Had this old man lost his mind?

“Being my goddaughter, the entire Wood Elf Clan will be your backup. I’d like to see who dares to treat you like a servant from now on!”

While saying this, Elder Qingfeng glared coldly at the old crone.

The old crone’s heart felt like it was being viciously pinched, and she quickly forced a smile, “Elder Qingfeng jokes, Yan Yao is my darling girl, 1 have never treated her as a maid… 1 mean, I don’t have maid.”

“Hmph!” With a cold snort, Elder Qingfeng smiled kindly again and said, “Yan Yao, are you willing?”

Feng Wanli and Li Cheng exchanged glances, they certainly knew what the old man was up to.

Clearly, Elder Qingfeng realized Li Cheng intended to take Yan Yao as a disciple, so he made the preemptive move to adopt her as his goddaughter!

Imagine, she could become an existence comparable to the Five Elements Great Emperor in the future!

Once she reached that realm, Elder Qingfeng would have reason to boast!

“Yan Yao dares not aspire to such heights, Elder Qingfeng, I’ve let you down,” Yan Yao said in a voice as fine as a mosquito’s, very timid.

“Let’s take it slow, this little girl has obviously been bullied too much, losing her confidence,” Ye Chenfeng sighed.

Elder Qingfeng nodded reluctantly, his gaze turning to Yan Qing, “Young man, this is my goddaughter, I will take her away!”

Yan Qing clenched his teeth secretly. He had been addressed by name just before, but now, to his face, the esteemed clan leader was being called ‘young man’.

“Old man, Yan Yao is the adopted daughter of this clan leader. When did she become yours? Did you ask for my permission before trying to take her away?” Yan Qing retorted unwillingly, with a cold snort.

Yan Yao was the future owner of the Five Elements Meridian Pearl. Although she was too timid to accept it now, that didn’t mean she would not in the future.

Hence, Yan Qing unhesitatingly employed Elder Qingfeng’s tactic, first taking Yan Yao as his adopted daughter.

Elder Qingfeng looked at Yan Qing with sheer disdain, “Did you even consult your conscience when you said that? I think a monkey must have eaten your conscience long ago!”

“What the hell! Old man, are you cursing me? Isn’t that phrase usually about dogs?” Monkey Kongxu protested unhappily.

They were quarreling among themselves; why drag him into it?

“Stop arguing, Tribe Chief Yan Qing, Elder Qingfeng, we are all part of the same Five Elements Elf Tribe; this is unbecoming of us!” Monkey Kongxu said, plucking up the courage.

“That’s right, Kong Xu is correct, old man, this clan leader won’t stoop to your level!” said Yan Qing with a cold huff.

Elder Qingfeng also let out a cold snort from his nostrils and no longer paid attention to Yan Qing. Calming down, he said, “Benefactor, I think it’s better if we head elsewhere.”

“The Water Elf Clan is quite nice, Mingyue is sensible, speaks pleasantly, and is fair in her dealings—she doesn’t treat the tribespeople like oxen, horses, or monkeys!”

Monkey Kongxu scratched his head in frustration, “Monkeys again? Tell me, old man, what have I done to offend you?”

Li Cheng and the others could hardly contain their laughter. Li Cheng cleared his throat and said, “The next stop is the Earth Elf Clan, right?”

The Fire Elf Tribe’s Inheritance Stele hasn’t been handed over yet. Mentioning departure at this time might be because Elder Qingfeng had a plan.

“Let’s skip it for now. Let’s visit the Water Elf Clan to soothe our minds…. Eh? Benefactor, how did you know the next clan is the Earth Elf Clan?”
